REWARDS
HONESTY
BY International News Service

PARIS. Dec. 1S.-Honesty is GO
ing to pay in France from now on,
if the law adopted by the French
chamber is also passed by the
Senate. which seems very probable.
It requires that the person who
finds any object, no matter what
its value. shall be recompensed for
his honesty in returning it to the
owner by receiving a reward of
five per cent.
1t is the result of frequent for
getfulness on the part of losers to
reward their honest finde :.
Sometimes it is carelessness, and
sometimes pure selfishness," says
Deputy Felix Gouin, who introduced
the bill after hearing of a poor
workingman who returned bonds
worth a million francs to the owner
and received asreward of a twenty
franc note.

LINDBERCH,S OWN CToDx,

i
Paris, May 23.-Captain Charles
Lilnd6ergh Sunday told the story of
ms flight from New York to Paris
TO group of newspapermen in the
embassy, and when he had finished
everyone was firm in the belief that
ne was real flying genius.
Beng neWspapermen," he began.
i suppose you gentlemen are inter
ested first In knowing what was the
most dangerous thing about our
hight. The most dangerous thing of
all was that landing at LIE Bouroet
bringing that ship down on a field
with all that crowd running about.
l had more fear at that moment for
the welfare of our plane than at any
other time in the whole flight.
The first part of the flight was
better and easier than any of us ex-
pected. The field in New York was
muddy, which made the takeoff a lit
Tie long, but we got away all right.
Atlantic Weather Bad
All the way up the American
coast to Newfoundland we had nm
commonly good weather-lots better
than we expected. But for the next
1000 miles it couldn't have been
much worse for u.s."
AT this Juncture the ambassador re-
marked: "When Lindbergh saws swe'
he means the ship and himself"
All the way through, except when
asked for a personal opinion on
/ something the flier used the first per
son plural In describing the voyage.
Flew Close to Water.
After we got away from land"
continued the aviator, eve ran into
fog, then into rain, then hail. Some
times we flew not more than 10 feet
above the water, and the highest TO-
OUO feet. We went up that high to
try to get above the storm, but the
average altitude for the whole second
1000 miles of the flight was less
than 100 feet.
If we had known that the weather
would be as bad over that part of
the ocean as it turned out to be. we
would not have started, but once we
got into it, there wasn't any use in
turning back: There wasn't ANYTHING
to do but keep going.
We were mighty happy to see the
dawn which we ran into about 200
a. m, New York time. In the after
noon we picked up Ireland.
From the maps we had and from
what | read at home knew that
England was a sort of hilly. rolling
country, France pretty flat and Ire
land inclined to be mountainous. So

front | knew it was Ireland. II

at the amazing feat of the Vikinp, of
the air, Charles Lindberg, it is re-
called here by intimate friends of the
Llndbergh family, that the dauntless
arooganaut is the son of a confirmed
Bolshevik." His father Charles
Llndbergh, who died in 1924, was an
outstanding leader of the radical
movement of Minnesota. Moreover
ne was not of the fair weather kind, /,
so characteristic of many. He was
always to the left on every question
OF policy and tactics, in the Nonpar-
tlsan League and the Farmer-Labor
party.
Llndbergh was the first Farmer
Labor candidate for Governor in the
State of Minnesota. That was hack
IN 1918, when the hyenas and the
Jackalls of capitalist hysteria, inflam-
cd the masses against the champions
OF the people. Charles Lindbergh
was mobbed several times in that
campaign, notably at Princeton, Mimi.
when the Home Guards were called
out to break up Lindbergh parade
and meeting. However, all this did
not dismay him, just as the sleet
and fog did not deter his intrepid son,
from flying over the Atlantic.
When In 1921, it became apparent
that VanLear was going to steal the
Star" from the farmers and work.
ers, whose pennies had established
1t, Llndbergh caused a pamphlet to
be written exposing the Van Lear
maneuvers. He was a deadly enemy
OF all takers in the Farmer-Labor
movement.
:. There is no doubt that the magni-
fIcent courage which the father of
the Columbus of the Air manifested.
IN his political career, has been in
herited by his son, and which made
it possible for him to wing the At
lantic in flight that has captured
the imagination of the world.

argentine and especially the United
states increased their acreage. The
postwar period, with financial capi-
eallsm unstable, with an under-con-
sumption of wheat due to world con-
dltlons of credits, brought a slumn
IN the wheat market that has brought
great loss to many of the wheat
growers IN these countries which in
creased their production.
Purely out of necessity of capitalist
conditions which are chaotic With
spectators reaping the harvest, the
lndlvldualistic farmers of America
were formed to follow the agrarian
cooperative movement of the world
as salvation for their needs. In
spite OF their adoption to cooperative
methods lndlvidualism still dominates
the American wheat pool section.
Compelled to Cooperate
The composition of the confer
ence from the extreme right to tba
lett, from lardine, secretary of ag-
rIculture, representative of the
CoOiIdge-MellOn group to the Sow
ct group, representing the interests
OF the agraTian population in the
fIrst workers republic, is signifi-
cant. The wheat pOOlers are unit
Gu on eliminating the speculatOrs
and increasing the producers share
of production.
The cooperative activity of the So
Wet Union springs spontaneonslv
from their system, while cooperators,
national units within capitalist con-
trolled states, are forced into the fold
OF cooperative marketing as a wav
out OF the anarchy of the capitalist
economic order.
A Specter Haunts Conference
Ihe world conference with an oh
Ject of stabilizing world wheat prices
is on the one ndnd a means of furth-
er stabilizing the temporary stabili-
zation of capitalism by one group.
While on the other hand it is a means,
through the export of wheat, by the
growing Soviet system, as well as a
reshlfting of world forces toward CO.
operation as a natural growth of the
Soviet order. In spite of its pres
ent weakness from a world stand
point its strength is in favor of the
society of the future.
Yes, specter haunted the CON
terence. COOlidge's representative
sat in the same conference with
Russian agrarian experts; necessity
drives the haughtiest from the high
places while the representatives of
