NO PARTIALITY
 SHOWN BY BOARD
COMMITTEE FROM PULASKI HEIGHTS GIVEN ASSURANCES OF FAIR TREATMENT BY SCHOOL BOARD.

Assurances have been given the committee of Pulaski Heights resi- dents by the Little Rock School Board that no discrimination would be shown against the Heights in regard to the selection of the location for the new Junior High School when the board should be in position to furnish the district with additional school facilities.
 The committee stated through George Firmin, spokesman, that it was satisfied with the explanation, in sisting that Pulaski Heights should be the first to be given Junior High School, owing to the fact that that section was in greater need of such a building than any other in the city.
 MT. Firmin stated that the people of the Heights are unanimously in favor of the construction and are will ing to pay their share of the expense in building it. He said that they would even vote for a 12-mill tax at the forthcoming election if the desired result could be obta:ned thereby.
 Members of the School Board told the committee that the question of postponing the construction of the school had never been discussed. In fact, nothing had been said about the matter since the Capital Issues Committee year ago had denied permission to the board, on account of the war, to issue bonds for the con- struction of the school. The com mittee was told that the board had not abandoned the idea of building the school; that there was demand for more room at other schools, but that the board had been unable to meet the demands for lack of funds.
 Ashley Cockrill, one of the mem bers of the committee, reminded the board that it had promised the people of Pulaski Heights that this school would be built, and that when the district was prepared to build another school that Pulaski Heights expected to have first call.

ADVANTAGES OF BEING A
 CREDITOR NATION.

A child with a new toy has lot of fun and some education in learn ing how to operate it, and the United States has a new toy dubbed "Creditor Nation" which it waited for more than 150 years to get.
 Just what it is going to do with that toy is of absorbing interest to business men.
 The foundation stone of the whole thing is our Federal Reserve System, and the reserve notes of it in circula- tion now exceed two and half billion dollars. Now against those notes, is a net gold reserve of 63.6 per cent, while the legal requirement is for only 40 per cent. That reserve system passed the war burden and dropped into times of peace without having to stretch it's legs. In other words, even with the greatest war of history to test it, it never more than began to show what it could do if it had to. With financial foundation like that, what possibilities there are as to world trade!
 Here are extracts from the April circular of the National City Bank on the "concerns of a creditor nation, :" the gist of the whole problem being that conditions are of such magnitude that settlements in gold of inter- national debts are out of the question, and there is nothing left to consider but imports of good or securities.
 Ut is evident that unless the creditor country is willing to receive its pay either in goods or securities it has no use for the trade. It's de- cision means that it would rather keep it's own products than export them on those terms. Exchange goes to prohibitory premium and exports decline until the balances are no larger than can be settled. It is idle to protest against exchange rates which merely express trade condi- tions. They perform necessary function. When an individual or country cannot pay for purchases in manner acceptable to the seller the time has come to cease buying.
 "It is a calamity to a country that it is no longer obliged to export sev- eral hundred millions worth of its products annually to pay interests on it's debts, and that it is in position to receive several hundreds millions worth of products as interest running to it?
 ''We do not think so. In changing over from the position of a debtor country to that of a creditor, this country is in the position of an in- dividual, who, beginning life with nothing, must give labor or the pro- ducts of labor in direct exchange for everything he receives, but who later accumulates capital and then is able to live in part upon income previous ly earned.
 "This situation is more difficult to realize because it has come about so suddenly. Under ordinary conditions a generation or more would have been required to accomplish the change. Ii would have come about so gradually that we would have grown into it and all adjustments would have beer made as we went along. We have checked our own development anc
The Pulaskian., 1919-04-11

driven our productive forces to their highest capacity in order to supply the enormous exports which have ac- complished this change. We have had balance of trade in four years equal to the aggregate of 20 normal wears, and the result is that we are permanently established in the creditor position"

Frederick Cheeswright
The first New York recital of the sea
son by Percy Granger, the young Aus
tralian pianist composer, takes place in
Aeolian Hall Saturday afternoon, Jam
uary 3. Mr. Granger is "a strong be-
lever in program notes, feeling they
aid his audiences in grasping tho gist
of the theme of the composer, thus
creating proper interest in the com
position, especially if it is new.
His opening recital number will be
the "Chaconnc" of Bach. composed for
the violin alone, freely harmonized
and adapted by Fcrruccio Buson. The
second number will be Sonata, Op. Sc.
by Cyril Scott, the English composer.
Of this work Mr.. Granger says:
"To my mind, Cyril SCOTS piano
sonata is not only the greatest single
composition in large form for piano
by any living composer known to me,
but also the most significant contribu-
ton to this form that has appeared
since the piano sonatas by Brahms"
The pianist then goes on to explain
the structural work Of the sonata, and
ends by saying: while the work may
be said to be in continuous form, in
the sense that there is no break be-
tween its various formal divisions,
four distinct movements can clearly
be traced with interludes between
them,' which he sums up as four
movements and three interludes:
First movement (allegro con spirito).

At Hotels and Restaurants

S. j. Kaufman is always opening
something. 1t was he who opened
Reisenweber's new grill, and last Mon
day night he assisted at the opening
of the new Restaurant Crillon. at Is
East Forty-eighth Street, by giving
dinner for newspaper people At least
he said it was for newspaper people,
and we did see George Kaufman and
Haywood Broun, but we also saw
Francine Larrimore and Cyril Height
ley Of course, there were a lot more
people, but it being our first party in
long time we just received general
impression of light, sumptuousness
gayety, "groaning board" and lovely
pink drinks with fruit salad in them.
The dinner was given in the Duncan
Room, SO called because it is done in
lsadora blue. This is what we should.
called naive room and is quite differ
ent from anything we ever saw. Then
there are others much more sophisti-
Gated, like the Red Room, the Batik
Room and the Winter Garden. The
first Of these rooms is done in gray
and vermilion and black. Here the
tables are. all in separate boxes, but
there we aren't going to attempt to
describe this restaurant because on
paper it wouldn't sound at all like it
is and would spoil the effect when you
see it, The main dining room is done
in emerald, ultramarine and black and
the Winter Garden is black and white
The dinner was one Of the most en-
joyable we ever attended and it was
evident that a good time was had by
all. The new restaurant is one of the
Haering triplets. The
other two are named Vosin and Ely
see.

Christmas night we spent at Muir
rays Roman Gardens. Fortunately Mr..
Kelly had reserved a table for us, for
there was string of people waiting
as far as the New Amsterdam Thea
ter. Isn't it funny when you break
through the front ranks to tell Saun-
ders that you are there for your table?
All the people who haven't had the
foresight to reserve tables glare at
you and say, "l've been waiting here
for twenty minutes" We expected to
have the boat table," which is just
off the revolving floor, but Saunders
gave us a table on the floor and it is
the first time we ever made the rounds.
1t takes just an hour for one revolu-
ton, so when we found ourselves in ex-
actly the same spot we started from
we said to our vis-a-vis. at is now
o'clock"
He was visibly astonished and said:
"How did you know?'
Because we have reached the
entree," we said.
