BoerSianer'S
Comment
on Business
By BOERsLANER.

Herbert Hoover wrote a certain
memorandum for a special purpose
and not lat the time IL was written)
intended for publication,
Here is an extract:
"The difficulties OF Europe as a
whole at the signature Of peace may
be almost summarized in the phrase
"demOralized productivity" The pro-
duction OF necessaries for this 49,
900, 900 population Including Russia)
has never been at so low an ebb as
at this day
"A summary OF the unemployment
bureaus in Europe will show that
Is, ,OOO, 900 families are receiving un-
employment allowances in one form
or another. and are in. the main being
paid by constant imitation Of cur
renCy. A rough estimate would indi-
cate that the population OF Europe is
at least 100 5000 greater than can
be supported without imports and
must live by low production OF Eu-
rOpean raw materials.
Due TO the same low production
Europe is today importing vast guam
titles Of certain commodities which
she formerly produced for herself and
can again produce. Generally, in pro-
duction, she is not only far below
even the level OF the time Of the sign
ing Of the armistice, but far below the
maintenance Of life and health with
out an unparalleled rate Of import.
"The proper and insistent demand
Of labor for higher standards OF liv-
ing and a voice in administration has
unfortunately become impregnated
with the thee ory that the Limitation OF
effort below the pre-war production
may be safely accepted"
At another excerpt:
During some short period it may
be possible for the Western Hemis-
phere, which has refined and even in
creased its productivity to supply
the deficiencies Of Europe. Such deh-
ciencies would have to be supplied in
large degree upon credits. But aside
from this, the entire surplus produc-
tivity OF the Western Hemisphere IS
totally incapable OF meeting the pres
ent deficiency in European production
II it is long continued.
"NOr, as practical fact, could
credits be mobiliZed for this purpose
for more than a short period, be-
cause all credits must necessarily
be simply an advance against the re-
turn of commodities in exchange
and credits will break down the in
slant that commodities becomes i'm
probable. Further, II such credits
be obtained for more than temporary
purposes, IL would result in eco
nomic slavery of Europe to the West
ern Hemisphere and the ultimate end
would be war again.
"The solution, therefore, Of the
problem except in purely temporary
aspects does not lie in a stream OF
on credit from the
western Hemisphere, but lies in
realization OF the actual
situation in each country Of Europe
and resolute statesmaushop based
upon such a realization. The popu-
lations Of Europe must be brought to
q realization that productivity must

PARDON FOR DEBS

Eugene V. Debs, the socialist, who
is serving a long prison sentence In
the Atlanta Ca, Federal peniten-
tiary, is broken in health and in
spirit, according to DR.. Earl z. Dud-
ding, president Of the Prisoners Re
lief Society, who visited and inspect
ed the Jail recently.
DR.. budding stated today:
Il found Debs in the hospital He
is not the strong man he was a few
years ago. He is what ] call an old
man and he is not standing any too
well the confinement, and I believe
he should be pardoned or paroled at
once. ] am not in sympathy with
the radical socialist, the type Of
which Debs belongs TO. Every brain
has its fault-some great and some
small. Debs has been punished all
that he can be punished. 1 believe
IN giving him another chance, then II
ne don't stop being a anarchist, hang
him.
THE warden OF the penitentiary
has given Debs every possible consid-
Grafton, consistent with the set
policies OF the institution.
DR.. budding will recommend a par
don Tor the socialist to the Depart
ment Of Justice.
He received permission to visit the
JAIL from warden Fred G.. Zerbst. and
says that conditions there are all
they should be, especially from the
sanitary standpoint. Miss Evelyn Alb
bott, secretary, and Mrs. Rex b.
Duckett, the chief clerk OF the So
ciety, visited the jail with DR.. Dud-
ding.

lair OF Wild MAN
ISFOUND IN CAVE
Strange, Hairy Creature Gives
Quartet of Fishermen
Scare of Lives.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept 2O.-The
LeiperviHe wild man To-Day bids fair
to rank with the far-famed, but
mythical Jersey devil.
Posses OF brave men are drumming
/ the woods for the strange, hairy
creature, which IS reported to walk
on all fours repeating blood-chilling
/ cries Of "Oo-Ooh!s and "Mag-mag-
mag!"
But the supposed lair of-the savage
man-a forbiding rocky nook, spot
ted with bushes and tangled with
briars, on Crum creek, midway be-
tween Leiperville and Avondale-is
being given a wide berth BY the timid
In Ridley Park It is believed the
wild man is a patient who escaped
| from an institution last spring, after
having been struck on the head with
a blackjack.
News that a hairy creature OF ter
rifying mien was at large was first
told by a quartet OF carp fshermen-
/ Hugh Duhy, John Wiley, Nike Dill
I Ion and Lawrence Scott.
FIsheFmen Tell Tale.
The encounter with the wild man
/ occurred on the banks OF the creek
near AvOndale, say the anglers. Carp
were biting. Suddenly appeared a
/ strange creature-wild, hairy and
nude, approaching on all fours.
The quartet became stin with fright
Duffy disappeared. Then there were
three fishermen.
"Mag-mag-mag," groaned TIE wild
man. Dillon vanished. Then there
were two fishermen.
Wiley fell into the creek and swan
/ to the other bank. Then there was
one fisherman.
"Mag-mag-mag!" snarled the wild
man, shaking its shaggy head. Scott,
4 speechless, slipped into the bushes.
How the wild man terrified those
who attempted to invade its cavern
fastness following this encounter was
described today by James F. Dough-
erty, night promoter and Baron Of
Leiperville."
Supposed To Live In Cave.
''This wild man is supposed to be
in a cave above the Baldwin Loco
mOtove Works" said the Baron
dryly. when the fishermen same back
here yesterday and told the fellows In
the poolrOom about seeing It there
was a posse organized to capture IL,
see?
''This gang OF heroes goes n 20
where the cave Is. They got bricks
and commenced WhoOping and holleF-
ing for anybody who was in the cave
to come out and he captured. They
we're kind Of brave fellows. see?
They would have captured IT, al
right, bur something stuck its hairy
head out of the cave and all the brave
heroes fell s. the creek. or course,
they would have gone back into the
cave and dragged the wild man out,
see? But III wasn't hashlight AFFAIR
and they were doubtful about cropping
around In the dark"
Evidence that there may be a fam
lily Of wild men at large in the dis
tTict came today when a Wild-looking
individual. with red hair and whisk-
ers, appeared at the home OF p. @.
Scott, at Toughkenamon, and demand
ed piece OF bread. He wore clothes,
however, and seemed appeased when
Mrs. Scott gave him the bread.
