Human Nature At Its
Worse

Some people are always re
porting clerks, porters and de-
Everymen for such terrible Of
lenses as incivility, discourtesy
or slow service.
In its chronic form, this re-
porting is a symptom of diseas-
ed nerves-sometimes Of mania
All of us have it, at times.
Psychologists explain: The in
dividual encounters many dis
agreeable things in the course of
his daily business-things which
he must swallow in silence, for
fear that a retort would injure
his own welfare. For instance,
a bullying boss rags an en-
ploye who dare not talk back,
else he lose his Job.
Resentment piles up inwardIy
and finally is vented on some I'M
fortunate porter or clerk who
forgets that we should be fawn-
ed over, no matter how nasty we
become, and commits the unpar-
donable sin of negIecting to play
up to their vanity.
Most of us are Chinese en-
perors at heart - particularly
when we are buying goods or
services.
Complaints are necessary at
times, it would be ridiculous to
claim otherwise. But nearly al
ways the complaint is exaggerat-
cd in the making. A railroad
porter or conductor, as an illus
tration, silently stands for lot
of gaff from the travelling pub
lie IF, incensed, he explodes
with even a single sharp retort,
the kick that Is made to head
quarters magnlfices that retort
even to the claim of attempted
physical violence against the
kicker.
Why cant people be fair and
human in complaining?
Why exaggerate? Why lie?
The kick may result in the firing
of an employee driven to distrac-
ton and sharp retort by troubles
at home-such as illness of a
wife or financial desperation.
Would you knowingly throw
such a man into the breadline
and deny his wife medical serv-
ices? OF course, not. Yet that
is exactly what many of US have
done when we have reported
an employee unfairly,
These clerks and conductors
and others who serve us in our
buying and travelling are human
beings. We might treasure them
as warm friends if we knew them
intimately.
Sensible and Christian are
members of the Appreciation
League, who report" only good
service and courtesy--and over
look incivility as something that
eventually delivers its own
punishment by keeping the doer
from being successful or hap
py.

There are no dues or initiation
fees, but the benefits are LARGE.
There's happiness for ones self
for having done a good turn;
the satisfaction Of making others
happy and scattering a bit OF
sunshine along the way.

PRESSURE DISCLAIMED.
British Press Denies Effort at Coercion
i'm Pact.

LONDON, August 20 CP).-American
dispatches reporting amazement and
irritation in the United States over the
terms of the Anglo-Fre provisional
debt arrangement and quoting state
ments by Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury Winston and Senat tor Smoot
of the American Debt Commission and
other persons are featured in large
type in the morning newspapers.
No surprise is expressed here at the
declaration that the United States Gov
ernment will adhere to its attitude on
foreign debts, as already indicated, but
anxiety is evinced in some of the COM
ment over the reported suspicious in
the United States that Chancellor of
the Exchequer Churchill and Finance
Minister Caillaux schemed to put
moral pressure on the United States in
the interest of their respective eoun-
tries.
The newspa pers print disavowals of
any intention by Great Britain to take
any action that might bring her into
conflict with the United States. The
Daily Telegraph, for example, regrets
the seeming disposition at Washing
ton to see evidence of concerted action
by Great Britain and France to put
pressure on America to reduce her
terms TO France"

Warned by some of those with

warnings against such assumptions as

these Americans were bluffing.

CHOICES HELD UP.

PARIS. August % R.-Finance
Minister Caillaux and Foreign Min
lister BRAND have failed to agree con-
cerning the composition of the French
debt mission to Washington, and the
council of ministers today again post
poned final decision on the matter
NM Caillaux and BRAND will hold
private conferences to decide the per
centage of political personages and
fipsnciers to be included in the mis-
sion and will report to the next cab
met meeting.
1t is virtually certain that NJ. Gail
laux will go to Washington with one
expert on September is, the remainder
of the mission following A few days
later. The finance minister, il is eX-
pected, will remain in the America n
Capital only few days and that the
delegates will take up the work where
he leaves it.
The disagreement between the
finance and foreign ministers is not
regarded as fundamental but is
ascribed rather to their lack of op-
portunity to get together since M
CaiIlaux's return from London. No
pessimism is expressed as to an ulti-
mate accord between them regarding
the composition of the debt mission.
The Echo de Paris says 1t learns
from a person who is in a position
to know that while satisfied with the
British offers of a moratorium and a
reduction in the debt figure, there is
question of the cabinet signing any
sort of an agreement.
The newspaper adds that nothing
can be definite until after the Franco

BY Cable to The Star and New York World
LONDON, August 28.-The Cailla uX-
Churchill battle of wits over the An
glo-French debt now has ended with
each protagonist convinced he has
won a victory. Joseph Caillaux, the
French finance minister, believes he
has created an Anglo French fina ncial |
bloc against the United States which
will enable him to compel Washington
to accept not more than 2 per cent in
terest on the French debt to the
United States.
NJ. Caillaux informed high person
ages with whom he came in contact
here that the delegation which he
proposes TO send to the United States
will be instructed to inform the Ameri-
cans that since Great Britain is will
ing to accept per cent on the French
debt, the United States cannot ask
more and, should the United States
refuse, NJ. Caillaux declared categori-
cally that he will order his delegation
to take the next boat home.
He does not intend himself to go to
Washington, he told Foreign Secre-
tary Chamberlain and Winston

NOntlnueQ from First PaRe.1
London agreement the annual French
payments would be further increa sed
1t is somewhat difficult, therefore, to
interpret what the Lou41on plan would
mean If applied to the French debt to
the United States. However, IL the
British had applied the same terms to
the French that the British received
from the United States they would be
charging the French about $50, 900, 900
per annum at the start and about
500 ,0000 900 per annum after the fif-
teenth year. But taking into consid-
Grafton the division OF the debt into
three parts and the advantages to the
British treasury in so doing-higher
interest rates and early payment-it
would appear that the British proposal
represents a reduction of only some
where from 15 to 80 per cent under
the terms given by the United States
10 Great Britain, probably nearer Is
than 80 per cent. And this after the
principal of the French debt to Britain
had been increased nearly 40 per cent
by COMPOUND interest arrearage at s
per cent.
In the light of this analysis it is diff
ficult to see overwhelming "generos-
ity" in the British terms to France in
contrast to what the American Gov
ernment is asking. This is especially
true in view OF the fact that at the
peace conference the United States
neither asked nor receivd any share
in the booty of victory. liberal
slices of which went to both Great
Britain and F'ran nee, adding immeas-
urably to their present and potential
national incomes. AT the peace con.
ference also the United States made
an outright gift to the other allies of

in German reparations. Both Great
Britain and France benefited by this

yond the concession" made by Great
Britain in the proposed settlement of
the debt owned her by France.

CHICAGO, August 2S.-Two avi-
ators in one plane We're killed in a
collision OF two United States Army
airplanes 500 feet above the May
wood Air Mail Field late yesterday
The pilot of the second plane escaped
uninjured, though his ship was part
ly wrecked.
Lieut. Talcott p. Smith and his
passenger. Capt. William l.. Heptig,
aviation reserve officer former Army
colonel, member of the Chicago
Board of Trade and president of the
Chicago Chapter of the National Aero
nautical Association, were the VIC

tournament at Camp Grant. Lieut.. r.
w. Douglass, a member of the first
pursuit group. stationed at Selfridge

In attempting landing Smith made
an upward turn to ayoid a mail plane
piloted by William Page. which was
taking off. Te De Haviland over
turned when its tail cut sharply
against the side of the Curtiss ship
and hurtled toward the ground
Smith made desperate efforts to
right his craft. and jumped as 1t burst
into flames. His parachute failed to
open and he was killed by the fall.
Heptig leaped when the falling plane
was about 25 feet above the ground
and was fatally injured. He died a
short time later.
The burning plane fell almost in
front of the air mail field hangers,
narrowly missing hundreds of specta
tors. Scores of former soldiers, pa.
tients at the Edward Hines Hospital,
also were spectators.
The propeller of Douglass ship
was sheared almost off by the impact,
it was found after he landed.
Douglass and Smith, both experts,
had taken part earlier in the day in
the Camp Grant aerial contests and
had been among the winners.
A military investigation of the ac-
cident will attempt to determine
whether the pilots of the colliding ma
chine were stunning" for the benefit
of the spectators, and why the para
chutes failed to open. \ report also
will be made to the Postmaster Gen
