most courteous and diplomatic Ian
guage, the notes in reality were the

that the territorial boundaries of
Panama had been fixed by a previous
arbitration award made by Chief JUS
tice White, and that they are the con-
Germ of this government which can
not regard forcible measures by either
party as ~justiiable. The belligerents
were told to settle their differences

Advices are to the effect hat all
Bolshevik authorities, if they have
not a real revolution to contend with
just now, are likely to have it soon.
The past winter, which has augment
led the sufferings of the people to a
degree beyond anything before expert
fenced, the constant warfare under
soviet rule and, lastly, the attempt to
coerce labor-mObilize is the word
that has been used-and make it a
part of the property of the state along
with goods, lands, ETC., has strained
the communist scheme to the breaking
point. People all over the country
are reported to be deathly sick of the
plan and In a mood to try revolution,
believing that any change must be an
Improvement.
Heretofore the strength of the Lenin
and Trotzky government has existed
in it's military establishment. Sol
diers were fed and. clothed even If
others starved and froze. This made
military duty attractive and rendered
a big, efficient army possible. The
significant feature of the present rev.
olution is that it was started by sol
diers and sailors, the very forces
which started and upheld the soviet
experiment.
The revolutionists seized the great
fortress of Kronstadt and several Of
the minor defenses of Petrograd. At
this writing a struggle for the city it.
self is on with the deciding fortunes
still In doubt. Authentic news is
meager, but enough has seeped
through to indicate that the disturb
nnce is not a mere flash In the pan.
The fact that the attack was started
at the seat of government, that the
city has been bombarded heavily and
that sanguinary encounters have
taken place in its streets, also that
the Red forces from other parts of
the country, including the famed
army of General Budenny, have been
summoned to its defense, is enough
to indicate that the affair Is a de-
termined movement against the whole
soviet regime.

While the threatened strike of pack
ing house employees ali over the
United States against reductions in
wages and changes in hours of EN-
ployment has elements of serious
ness, it is not definitely, at this writ
ing, beyond settlement. President
H%arding's influence may bring results,
but If it does not, there is a court
| weapon which is likely to delay the
more drastic effects if it does not stop
them entirely. Singularly, this
weapon. an injunction, is proposed by
the employees instead of, as usually
has been the case, by the employers.
; Inasmuch as the scale of wages and
hours was fixed by arbitration during
war times, the employees contend
that a sudden altering without due
consideration and conference between
all parties affected, is unwarranted
and that the court should grant a re-
straining order against the packers.
Attorneys for the unions state that

not touched upon at the dinner, but
that domestic reconstruction problems
formed the bulk of the discussion
makes it a practical certainty that
the latter will receive first considera-
ton at the coming session. Tax re-
vision seems to have the right of way
over other questions and after 1t
zones the tariff, the problem being
to lessen burdens and at the same
time provide adequate evenu If
the excess profits tax us repealed,
economies in governmental expendi-
lures will have to be instituted and
additional revenue from imports and
perhaps other sources will be re-
quired.
President Harding has intimated
that an emergency tariff may be pro
posed, but that final disposition of
the tariff question will await the rec
concentrations of a new tariff com
mission to be constituted along scien-
titic lines. This commission is yet to
be appointed and its deliberations nee
essarily will be prolonged, so that the
ultimate tariff bill of this administra-
ton does not loom as a very near pos
sibility.
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon
has announced himself definitely for
economies and for the establishment
of a national budget system. In a
letter to the banks of the country he
has declared that, While the figures as
to the public debt and the current
operations of the treasury show that
the finances of the government are i'll
a sound position, the situation calls
for the utmost economy. The letter
overs the financial condition in con.
siderable detail and winds up with
the statement: 1.-THE people generally
must become more interested in saw
ing the governments money than in
spending it. A thorough-going nation
al budget system must be estab-
lished and the governments expenses
brought into relation to its income"

Canadian purchases in the United
States amounted to $50O,000,000 in
round figures.
The Canadian Dollar.
Senator McCumber contends that a
duty of 40 cents on a bushel would
mean an actual duty of only 13 cents,
owing to the exchange situation. His
calculation is based ON a rate of ex-
change much more adverse to Canada
than the present rate. Certainly if
Canadian farm products and live
stock were shut out of the United
States exchange would not be
stabilized, but American business in
terests would regard such a state of
affairs as a calamity for the export
trade Even the seasoned protection
lists of the eastern states see the folly
of the Fordney bill, and it cannot be
adopted by republican votes alone.
Senator McCumber says that Canada
will continue to buy in the cheapest
market. and that the cheapest market
will continue to be the United States.
but he overlooked the fact that the
policy he advocates will further
lower the purchasing power of the
Canadian dollar in the United States.
and that the Canadian dollar will go
elsewhere if it can go farther"

SOLDIER LYNCHERS
FACE TRIAL TODAY
Men Accused of Killing Miner
Will Have Able Defense
in Court.
By the Associa ted Press.

HAMILTON, Ala, January 81
The trial of Sergt. Robert l.. Lam
caster. one of nine members of Com
pany NJ, Alabama National Guard,
who were indicted in connection with
the lynching of William Baird. a
miner. on the morning of January 13,
was set to begin here late today.
Each of the ten men indicted will be
given separate trials, the states at
torney having decided against a
group trial.
None of the guardsmen charged
with the lynching is over twenty-five
years of age and some of them are
only eighteen. Some of them are
overseas veterans. Although all are
in moderate circumstances and have
no money, citizens of Tuscaloosa
their home town, have raised fund
and supplied able defense. and a
stubborn fight in each case is lndl-
Gated.
On December % during the time
Company NJ was stationed at ToWnley
center of the coal mine strike zone
James Morris. one of the guardsmen
shot and killed John Northcutt, a
miner, after the miner was said to
have attempted to kill the soldiers
Morris sent another soldier to notify
his commanding officer while he re-
manned with the body. When the
party sent from camp reached the
scene, Morris was dead, with a bull
let hole in his body. 1t was claimed
he had been shot in the back. Baird
son-in-law of Northcutt, was sough,
and on Christmas night surrendered
to the cheriff of Winston county and
asked protection.
Two days later Baird as taken
to the Walker county Jail at Jasper
1t was from this Jail that on the
morning of January IS he was taken
by band of disguised men, carried
some distance out of town in an au-
tomobile and shot to death by the
roadside. An investigation by the
authorities was said to have devel-
oped that Leslie West, taXicab op.
orator, supplied the cars to the lynch
ing party. Later, it was announced
he had confessed his part in the af-
fair. and implicated the soldiers. The
arrest and Indictment of the nine
members of Company NJ followed.

VIENNA, Austria, January 31.-In
the opinion of growing number of
impartial observers a considerable
share of Austria's ills are due to her
own shiftlessness and lack of effort.
Each month the American relief ad-
ministration spends half a million
dollars in warding off starvation from
Austrian children, and numerous
other organizations through the Red
Cross, through mothers help commit
tees and through state subsidies for
| bread give an enormous aid In 1000
and clothing, because Vienna, as tne
starvation center, has excited the
worlds sympathy.
Although conditions are improved
the world cannot continue thus AID
ing Austria Indefinitely. unless some
permanent means of betterment are
found. The present methods are no
more than sandwiches to peggar.
Austria must be placed in a posltlon
to help herself. Austria can produce
fully so per cent Of her needs IN
foodstuffs if she only would, and II
has not yet been proved that manu-
features will not suffice for exchange
to supply the remainder.
Obstacle to solution.
Two years of near communism and
wholly destructive government nave
proved an obstacle to any posslol MY
of solving the Austrian problem. Din
gent search will not show any speclnc
examples of AuStria's attempting TO
help herself. Little advantage has
been taken of Vienna's unique posi-
ton of commercial advantage through
the trade routes developed before the
war. The Danube still has the same
channel and the Vienna banks, offices
and hotels have not been ravaged by
the war. The neighboring states
have no funds with which to build
competing railroads. For example
the Czechoslovak road from Prague
to Pressburg is one-track line.

CHURCH DELEGATES
ST. JOAN STATUE
SAVED FROM VAR

NEW YORK. January 31.-A
statue of St Joan of Arc. found
only slightly SCARED in a war
ruined French village. today graces
an altar in a church in the Elm
hurst district, the first in this coun-
try named in honor of the new
saint.
The relic was discovered in the
ruins of the church at Ban-de-
Laveline by Rev. Ward q. Meehan,
who was chaplain of an American
infantry regiment during the war.
ElmhurSt'S church was named
the day of Joan of Arcs canoniZa-
ton, and Father Meehan appointed
its rector. Struck by the coinci-
dence, he sent to France for the
statue. 1t was erected at services
held last night.
