Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1925-01-02
(By Federated Press)

Washington-France will not pay
her war debt to the United States
within the next so or rs years, unless
the interest rate on the 81 800 100000
of principal and interest now due is
lowered by the American government
to per cent or less.
This is the substance of the situa-
ton faced by Ambassador Jusserand
and the American debt funding COM
mission. 1t is due to the fact that
France owes today as much as the en-
tire sum of her national wealth In
1914. Her debt was big enough be-
fore the world war began, but during
the war she borrowed desperately, of
America and Britain and wherever
else few millions of francs could be
secured. Since the war ended she has
kept on borrowing, and her politicians
have concealed from the French peo-
pie the bankrupt condition of their
national treasury by assuring them
that all was secured by the German
reparation payments. Greed for end
less payments from Germany led to
the costly invasion of the Ruhr, and
finally to the Dawes plan, which
recognizes the claims of all the allied
and associated powers.
Jusserand asks for a donation of all
interest charges for 10 or II years.
This moratorium, he says, will give
France a breathing period, after
which she will be strong enough to
begin payments to the American

DOnahey Would Pay
Pen Prisoners More

Columbus, O.-Increased pay for
prisoners at the penitentiary, long
cherished hope Of Governor Vic Don
ahey,. seems to be near realization.
John f. Harper, director of public
welfare, has in his budget for the
next two years requested 100000
with which to meet the increased COM
pensation of these prisoners. This
cost during the past year has been
about 100000. The pay for these
prisoners now is from / to cents
per hour, but Director Harper has
asked that the maximum be lncreas-
ed to Is cents per hour The money
earned by prisoners is seldom paid
to them, but is sent each month to
the wife, mother or children who
have lost their only means of sup
port when the husband, father or son
has been taken from them to serve
the state for violation of some law.
These dependents, in the opinion of
Governor DOnahey, suffer most and
the state in providing for increased
compensation will help many families
to remain together instead of being
compelled to separate for lack Of suf-
ficient funds to buy the actual neces-
sites of life. Governor Donahey for
many years has urged this increased
compensation for prisoners, declar-
ing it one Of the most humane ques-
tions before the general assembly,
and it is expected that in his annual
message to the legislators he will
personally urge that the 100000
asked by Director Harper be made
available so that dependents of pris-
oners may receive larger check each
month from the state because of the
work of the fathers, husbands and
sons behind the gray prison walls.

Convict Leasing Is
Upheld By Court

Oklahoma City, Okla.-The su-
preme court Of this state has ruled
that the proposed contract between
the state board Of affairs and the
Cherokee manufacturing company is
not a violation of the Oklahoma con-
stitutiOn which says: "The contract
ing of convict labor is hereby prohib-
tied"
The court held that the contract
sought to be entered into is not "con-
tracing Of convict labor" The board
of affairs announces that it will i'm
mediately put the contract into eff
feet.
Organized labor will continue its
fight against this wrong. The work
ers' agitation forced the state to can
eel contract with the Reliance man
ufacturing company, the recognized
prison labor trust of this country,
which has contracts in several states
for the manufacture Of cheap shirts.
After the Reliance contract was
abrogated, state officials signed an
other contract with the Cherokee con
Germ, dummy that has been set up
by the Reliance corporation.

WHAT KIND OF A CHAP
ARE YOU?

Are YOU one of the chaps who can
take raps
And still not hit the floor;
Who'll stick by the gun till his task
is done
And then look around for more?
Do you grin at your work or sulk and
shirk
When the job seems hard to do;
Are you there with the grit to do your
bit;
Can the boss depend on you?
Is your conscience clear, with nothing
to fear
AS you punch the clock each night;
When you leave the job, do your
~ulses throb
With the thought of a task done
right?
Is it pleasure or dread when you pill
low your head
And think of the coming day;
Do YOU breathe a prayer for strength
to bear;
Does your job mean simply pay?
Just pause a bit and see if you fit
In the class that's pictured here
For it's never too late to clean the
slate
And start on record clear.

WHAT THE WIFE EARNS

A statistician claims to have dis
covered that a married woman, who
does all the work of her own house
hold, will, in the course of 80 years
married life, prepare nearly 100000
meals. This is counting meal as
the amount of food required by one
person.
During this time she will probably
order for household consumption
about 5000 jars of jam, will boil 500,-
900 potatoes, and devote about $4,000
hours of sweeping, washing and
scrubbing.
Valuing this work at the accepted
prices now paid for professional"
aid, the housewife who does her own
housework probably earns fully as
much as her husband. But that is
not to say that she gets it---oh, dear,
no!--London Answers.

RIDICULOUS

A student of curious laws and GUS
toms reports that in one of the Amer
lean colonies there was a blue law
prohibiting the brewing of beer on
Saturday, that it might not commit
the sin of working on Sunday. The
penalty for a violation of this law
was the flogging of the barrel.
The Supreme Court of Ohio has
gone one better. 1t has held that
possession of fruit juices that have
obeyed the natural law of fermenta-
ton is a violation of the Volstead
Act; but instead Of ordering the bot
ties spanked, it has upheld a fine of
1000 on the unfortunate owner of
the guilty liquids.
Such readings of the prohibition
law as this will soon bring it into as
much disrepute as that alleged statute
of Virginia, whose general court find
ing that outside rows of corn in the
fields were ravaged by squirrels, is
said to have solemnly ordered that no
more outside rows be planted.
Certainly there is enough real and
defiant violation of the dry laws to
keep the prohibition agents too busy
to run around sampling the contents
Of housewives fruit rooms, in the
hope of finding some bottle of cher
ries, peaches or pears that in the
course of nature has produced more
than one-half of one per cent of alco-
hol. 1t is acts like that, which will
undermine prohibition legislation, un-
less common sense comes to the res
cue of the dry laws.-Fremont CO.,
Messenger.

DOWN ON THE FARM

Farm labor increased in effective
ness about 1870 or nearly one-fifth
during the 10 years 1910 to 1920, ac-
cording to the U. S. department of
agriculture. Crop production increas-
ed about 1870 while the number of
persons working on farms declined
about 4.2%6 during the period.
This gain in labor productivity is
attributed by the department to the
use Of more and better machinery, to
time saving made possibly by the au-
tomobile and to an increase in the
average size of farms which made
possible economy Of effort. The
amount Of machinery used gained
40%. Tractor power, practically un-
known on farms before 1910, was used
in 1920 on $3.50 of American farms.
The ratio of horses and mules to farm
workers also increased 11%6. And the
average farm increased from 1881 to
1882 acres.
Thirty percent of all farms had au-
tomobiles in 1920, the figures for the
various sections being: west north
central $3.50, east north central
47.3%6, Pacific states 47.2%, noun
tain states 376&s, middle Atlantic
states 1920. In 1920 there were q
498,493 farms, or 1870 Of the total,
with telephones.
The department shows that the
crop yield per man in the United
States is much greater than in Eur
ope but that the average yield per
acre in this country is less. In the
five years before the war the aver
age production per man in the United
States was 1890 greater than the
average for the United Kingdom,
Germany, France and Belgium but
the average yield per acre was 41R
less.
Government economists hold that
the high productivity of American
farm workers has been bought at a
price of too lavish use of land. AS
pressure of population on land re-
sources increases the Importance of
increased yields per acre will be rec
ognized. They figure that when con-
ditions justify the necessary increas-
ed cost of production it will be poss-
ible to increase the yield per acre of
10 important crops by something over
45R.

French Politicians Conceal Truth of
Finances From the Their People

treasury. The American government
will have tc keep on paying interest
on this money to American investors
in the Liberty bonds from which
these loans were made.
When the issue comes before the
Senate, Borah and Norris may point
out that the state department failed
to insist upon payments from France
during the past five years, when
French militarist schemes were be-
ing developed and French military
power established with American
money. They will admit that the
cash is now lost; the French have
thrown it away in their wars and in
trigues against Russia, Germany and
Britain. But this lesson should be un-
derstood. France should not be trust
ed further. Reputation should be re-
membered, and repentance shown by
the prodigal debtor
Military men in Washington sug-
gest that the French failure to pay
is bound to strengthen the ties be-
tween the United States and Britain,
because of Britain's undertaking to
pay what she owes. When another
war threatens, they argue, Britain's
good faith with the United States
will be emphasized, while Frances
performance will be set off in deadly
contrast. France will have great diff
ficulty in financing another war.
Hence her prestige in diplomatic bluff
is already discounted by the nations
with which she may have disputes.

Missouri Opposed to
Leasing of COnvicts

jefferson City, Mo.-The state fed
GRAFTON of labor has issued a call to
trade uniohists and sympathizers for
an anti-convict leasing conference, to
be held in this city January 6. 1t is
proposed to draft certain amend
ments to be presented to the next leg
islature for enactment into law that
will prevent convict labor competing
with free labor.
The call says that through close
cooperation between prison officials
and prison contractors, the 1917 law,
which provides for the abolition Of
this system, has been evaded with I'M
punity and thereby caused the con-
tinuation of the brutal leasing system,
in violation of the spirit Of the law"

STUDY IS GOOD THING

Upon appeal of the army and navy de-
u partments. President Coolidge APP
points committee to study aviation
one retired major, one retired rear adj
miral, one banker. one senator, one con-
gresham. one judge. one mechanical en-
gineer and one Howard Coffin. who GER
tainly made remarkable study of ayia-
ton during the war.
The committee and its purpose are well
enough There cannot be too much study
of aviation But, the kind of study of
aviation most needed is the sort engaged
in by grand juries, sort of study that
can be proceeded with by an unbiased,
courageous congressional investigation.
BY no means should Mr.. Cooidge's APP
pointment of commission be permitted
to sidetrack the fixing of responsibility
for the studies" we've already had in
the shape of navy and aeronautic horrors.
By the way, is the nation to under
stand that the army and navy bureau

mission conduct its study with full pub

THE return from the grave, SO to speak
i OF Commander John Rodgers, of the
pN-9-l together with his crew of four
is fortunate in more ways than one
First, of course. is the fact that lives
are saved But in addition, number of
things will be set right by their survival
and many valuable lessons learned.
For one thing, according TO Commander
Rodgers himself. the flyers were not sent
out 10 their almost certain death by folks
who did not know what they were doing
but went according to a program arranged
by themselves.
In the second place, the Seaplane itself,
contrary to the impression given by Colo
mel Mitchell, seems TO have been pretty
good old bus, unusually reliable and sea
worthy. Anyhow that's what her COM
mander says.
Nevertheless all new ocean-going planes
must, in future. carry n small reserve of
gasoline this being instantly available in
n separate tank.
Such supply would have meant every
thing to the PN-9-1. The commander says
his gas gave out suddenly and he was
forced to come down on the water with
his engines stalled. A few quarts of gas,
: in reserve, would have kept his engines
going until he and his men were safely
down.
Again, says he, his wireless became use
less because he had run out OF gas. A
small reserve would have made it possible
TO run one motor long enough to send out
an S. 0. S. occasionally, stopping his engine
between tries.
Finally. we are informed they might
have persisted for lack of fresh water As
it was, they had to burn some of the
planes woodwork as fuel in the distilling
apparatus. The reserve gas would have
removed that danger.
The whole exploit clearly demonstrates
one among many reasons why only trained
sailors should be navy flyers. But for
the fact that Rodgers and his men know
the sea as well as they know the air. likely
enough they would all be today in Davy
Jones locker
The promotion of Commander Rodgers
to be assistant chief of the navy's bureau
of aeronautics gives us the comfortable
feeling that what he knows will not be
lost to the country.

SOME GAIN, ANYWAY

THE first year of operation of the
1 Dawes plan, ending September /,
was of the nature of moratorium. Ger
many paid billion gold marks, but en-
tirely from international reparations
loans and interest on her railway bonds.
No burden was placed upon the Reich
treasury.
This year the Reich treasury will be
tested to the limit and financiers are not
vet unanimous in the opinion that the
Dawes plan means salvation.
However, Germany has had "a breath
