Another Job fer Hoover.

According to- London dispatches,
which appear to have "semi-ofhcial'
confirmation. a German trade commits,
sion, headed by Chancellor Cuno, has
requested that. Secretary Hoover and
n committees. Of American business
men visit Germany and make a
thorough survey Of economic condi-
rions, which survey would be made
the basis Of a new reparations treaty.
Great Britain, according to the dis
patches. has consented to the proposal,
and it is stated that France also Is ex-
pected to approve Of 1t.
Apparently 1t Is not intended that
this committee Of American business
men should attempt to fix the amount
OF reparations,, but rather that 1t
should ibe fact-ffnding commission
with view to having it determined
impsrttally hew nuch-ft Is possible
for Germany to pay in the way OF
reparations:~ BY undertaking merely
to establish the facts, it Is conceivable
that a very great service could he rem
dered by such committee. The real
dispute. which for four years has pre-
vented Europe from making any sub.
stantial progress toward recovery ia
not as to how much Germany ought
to pay, but as to how. much she can
pay. With that question definitely
settled. and the settlement accepted
hy all the parties in interest, repara-
tions would soon cease to be the
stumbling. block they now present
and 1t would be possible to arrange
the other things. such as loans and
credits. which Europe needs in order
to make recovery possible. :"
Making Of the REQUEST for appoint
ment of the American survey com.
mittee is understood TO carry with It
a pledge that Germany would abide
by it's findings and make an honest
attempt to meet reparations pay
ments on the basis fixed. Approval
by the British government Of the plan
presumably carries with it Great
Britain's agreement to abide by the
findings. These agreements. Of course.
would have to be made explicit. as
would those OF France and other rep.
arations claimants, before the under.
taking would be worth while; but II
may be that a way has been opened
by which this country could be OF
real service in helping Europe out Of
her difficulties.
With Me Hoover. at the head OF
such an American committee, the
world would accept its conclusions,
not only as, impartial. but as. well
based. 1t is recognized that the Set.
retary Of Commerce is exceptionally
we'll equipped to handle such a prob
lem as that Of reparations. and the
reputation he enjoys. in Europe for
disinterfsted service is one Of the
unique products Of the war. Even
the Germans. who have no special
cause to love Hoover, have paid fre-
quent tributes to his, fairness and
mental integrity. This reputation
which Mr.. Hoover. enjoys Aas brought
him about the greatest collection Of
miscellaneous JOBS which ever fell to
the lot Of one man, and his jobs have
mainly involved a lot Of hard work
and little else besides.

Harding and Smith.

Gov.-elect Smith Of New York
should communicate with President
Harding. He might get few tips OF
value at this time.
Mr.. Harding was elected by rec:
ord breaking matority. Voters went
to the polls, and pumped for him in
enormous numbers.
responsibilities of Office his advisers
were legion and the impossible was
expected of him. Every supporter
had a suggestion for his ear. or a
favor to ask. He was overwhelmed
with opportunities Of one kind or an
other, and embarrassed by the. colos.
sal sise Of his triumph. =
0ov..elect Smith swept the deck last
month. No ma jority Of like size in a
gubernatorial race anywhere is Of
record. 1t was 50 large it overf1owed
party lines. Thousands Of republicans
must have voted for him.
As q result, he Is besiesed with men
and women Offering suggestions or
asking favors. He Is crowded, and
lacks the time necessary to see the
half of them. AS he takes up his
duties on the first Of the New Year
he has an inaugural address and q
legislative program to prepare. Com.
pany. therefore. is in large measure
out of the question.

MRS. EMMA SAWYER.

| The death of Mrs Emma E Sawyer
will come as shock to her friends,
as she has been confined to her bed
but three weeks. Mrs Sawyer has
not been in her usual health since
| spring, although going about as
usual, until three weeks ago she took
her bed and it developed that cancer
GUS trouble was far advanced. She
was great sufferer at the last and
died Monday afternoon.
Emma E Barrett Sawyer was born
in Bath, June 9, 1855, the daughter
of Mr. and Mrs Samuel Barrett. In
September 1874 she married John M
Sawyer of Bradford and they went to
Piermont where they made their
home for year. Returning to the
Deacon Sawyer farm in 1875, her
home was ever after in Bradford Mr.
Sawyer died seventeen years ago. She
was loyal member of the Congrega-
tional church. Having a good sopra-
no voice, she sang in the choir over
thirty years. All the other organ
izations of the church have been the
subject of her interest and her help
and she was regular attendant of
its services whenever possible. Of a
pleasant and friendly disposition, Mrs
Sawyer was always ready to help in
any undertaking where she could be
of service. 1t was natural of her to
be considerate of her friends and
cheerful and these qualities did not
desert her during her hours of suffer
ing and sickness. She leaves one
sister, Mrs w F Cummings of Cam
bridge, Mass, who has been with her
during the past three weeks.
The funeral was held in the Con-
gregational Church at two O'clock
Wednesday afternoon, with Rev. ] A
Lytle as the officiating clergyman,
and A E Hale as funeral conductor.
The interment was in the cemetery
on the Upper Plain.
