THE STARS NEW EMPLoYE.

HE SlAR ~ NEW A1HhA AsO A' The Star is in receipt of the fol- lowing letter:
 The Star Publishing Co.,, Mena,
 Ark.
 Gentlemen; accept with thanks ms new job with The Star, and advise that I am leav- ing Little Rock today-full of ~pep" and ready for business.
 Mickie. The Star, during its almost twen- ty-three years in Mena has hired much help-some that stuck for long years, some for short months and some shorter.
 But it has never hired nor fired Micxie.
 Despite the very well-worded-the formal yet "gingery," business-like acceptance, Mickie is typical print ing office "devil' boy-the sort that properly goes with the printing ofnee towel of fame. In appearance Mickie has the characteristics of some of The Stars former devils" and full share of gift of gab," very often hitting squarely on the head an ordi' narily unobtrusive nail.
 But, enough of the introductory strHf-newspapers rarely introduce their employees to the public anyhow, But The Star has hired Mickie, all right, and he will, until he resigns, o' gets fired, make his weekly bow tc Star Readers-and sometimes says things that will make older head: smile as well as think a bit.
 Mickie, with his full-blown smile wiIi be on the job tomorrow.

DENY THE POLISH POGROMS
Atrocities Perpetrated Against Jews In
Poland Were Confined To
Two Localities.

Washington.-There were no atroci
ties on Jews in Poland at any Other
places than Wilma and Pinsk, according
to statement of Hugh Gibson, United
States minister at Warsaw, made pub
lie by the state department.
Mr., Gibson says that his sources OF
information are the local newspapers,
including the Jewish press, the Amer
Jean Relief Administration and rep
resentatives of Jewish organizations
who have talked frankly with him
concerning the situation" The fol-
lowing was issued by the state de-
partment, based on Mr.. Gibson's err
port:
Feeling in Poland against certain
classes of Jews is largely due to eco
nomic conditions, rather than to re-
ligious intolerance, According to the
information received, certain Jewish
elements support the government, and
are regarded with respect as an in
tegral part of the nation of Poland,
while another Jewish element is open
ly hostile to the government"

AMERICANS WILL FORM GREAT

Washington.-With a view to quiet
Ing the unrest in Europe by fastening
return to normal economic conditions
financial interests in New York, with
the assistance of the federal reserve
board, are giving consideration to the
formation of a group of export corpo-
rations for wool, copper, steel, tobacco
and other American products, similar
to that organized to handle foreign
sales of cotton.
1t is planned to give the group cor
porations the backing of a central
securities corporation which would
draw its funds from the investing
public, furnishing perhaps hundreds of
millions oil dollars to finance the ship
ment of raw materials to the countries
lately at war so that they may return
to work and pay off their debts to this
country.
Government officials believe that no
more important project now is under
consideration as a reconstruction meas
ure, and point to the disturbed condi-
tons of the foreign exchange market
as necessity for some action to end
present abnormal conditions.
Present world conditions are pointed
to by government officials as evidence
OF the need for some such machinery
as is contemplated in the export and
central corporations. Long term cred
its are needed by Europe and raw ma
terials rather than finished products,
except where the latter are to be used
in reviving producing powers.

total approximately $9,310,0O0, 0O0
leaving only $69OOOOOOO of the
amount authorized That is too small.

needed, which is said to be another
reason for the need of private initia-
tive in solving the question of credits.
The war finance corporation is said
to be ready to take the obligations of
the exports corporations II the public
does not, although the latter contin-
gency is not expected.

The peasants. according to the ad-

The peasants we're surrounded. Koln-
hof was shelled; then machine guns
we're turned against it. A majority of
those fleeing from the burning village
were shot Those who we're captured
we're hanged.
The position OF the Czechs in Sol

garian communists have been stirring
up the Slovaks against the Czechs.
The Hungarians point out that the
Czechs refused to give the Sloyaks au-
tonomy and also have not treated them
as brothers. They add that for 1000
years the Slovaks and Hungarians

do So
