Listen to a fiShermans story As told when he came back from a trip
 Loaded with Rainbows and Glory And a basket full of fish on his hip:
 .-.-. A likeable chap that fisherman is
 And with reel and tackle and worm
 He never did miss, but caught his fish
 As fast as the poor suckers were born.
 :-:-. Night fore last so he started his tale, A happy smile in his eyes as he spoke T went for my goal, I and Frank Towle
 In boat that needs no sail.
 .-.-. Over Kenai Lake, more than 30 miles wide, Our shadow we soon left behind, It took oil for feed, but that baby had speed O my Gosh-how I enjoyed the ridei
 .-.-: Stayed at Cooper's Landing that night, amidst Howe and
 beauty Where nature and skill and art istic designs, Make you every day out of seven think about heaven, With little Patsy and Mrs. Towle as angels of duty. Next morning at four had hotcakes and jam Ham and eggs, coffee and toast Then little smoking was done in the morning sun And again off for Russian River I am. Then with the pole in my hand and some bait I did go Followed by Frank carrying bas- ket and axe I was of confidence full, felt strong as a bull When about 100 feet up I made my first throw And believe me or not, before the bait touched water "A big one" made jump and 1 took hook, worm and lead. Then down the stream he raced and I, quite amazed, Think I heard in the distance his departing laughter "One mile a minute we went down the river Gliding smooth through the ra- bids and round Schooners Bend,

Especial to The Herald)

ROMA, April 17.-Not to be out
done by their sister city of Guerrero,

hard surfaced, but Mier does not
propose to await the outcome of the

ENGLISH ROW
OVER WAR DEBT
Snowden Attacks Churchill's
Budget Proposals; Raps
France And Italy

LONDON, April 17.-1P)-The
British election campaign was en-
livened today with repercussions of
Philip SnoWden's startling attack on
the Balfour note. which fixed the
status of Britain's war debtors.
Snowden, who was chancellor of
the exchequer in the labor govern
ment of Ramsay Macdonald, said
the labor party had never sub
scribed to the principles Of the Bal
four note.
The answer of the government,
ard an affirmation Of disavowal by
Ramsay Macdonald, we're awaited
with extreme interest, since the adj
mittedly strong position of the labor
party made its views on such an in
tegral part of Europe's war debt
structure of extreme importance.
~Snowden'S speech was made in the
commons in the course of an attack
on the budget proposals OF Winston
Churchill, present chancellor of the
exchequer.
The Balfour note, stated that
while Great Britain would have
been willing to forego all claims for
~reparations and payment of inter-
allied debts in a universal settle
ment, she would be content with
collecting from her allies and Ger
many sufficient to cover her own
payments to the United States.
Mr.. Snowden was particularly Bit
ter in his criticism Of France, which,
he said, had repudiated four-fifths
Of her obligations 20 England. The
United States had obtained better
terms from France than did Eng
land, he claimed, declaring the case
of Italy was worse still. since that
country'ss total debt of $500. 900, 900
had been committed to 81, 035, 000, 900.

CANTON, China, April 17.--(P)-
Douglas jenkins, United States
consul general, today advised Amer
lean missionaries in southern
Kiangsi and northern Kwangtung
and Kwangsi provinces to evacu-

Bishop O'Shea at Kanchow,

The bishop said military assist
ance from the Kwanhung govern
ment had long been promised, but
it had not m~aterialized, as was the
case also with Marking promises.
He said this assistance was not ex-
pected any more now since re-
sponsible governments seemed lit

FIGHT OVER
TARIFF LOOMS
General Revision Favored
BY Solons While Hoover
Wants Tx Limited

WASHINGTON, April 17.-P1H
The special session of the new con-
gress is only three days old, and
its leaders are hopeful they car
hold it reasonably close to the
range CT legislative activities rec
commended by President Hoover.
There are, of course, the contro-
versies to be expected, as reflected
in the growing apprehensions Of q
fight over a debenture plan pro-
vision in the farm relief bill and
the expressions of historic differ
ences between democrats and re-
publicans over the tariff.
There are, however, others which
were not SO clearly indicated in All
vance. These include the specuia-
tive credit situation and the que5-
tons of limiting tariff revision anl
suspending the national origins
provisions of the immigration act
A tendency to favor a general III
stead Of a limited revision of the
tariff, in fact, has been growing
more and more apparent, and wha;
is regarded as the opening gun In
that fight has been fired from the
midst Of the camp of administra-
tion supporters in the senate by
Senator Reed of Pennsylvania.
Commenting on the presidents
reference to "the necessity for some
limited changes" in the tariff
schedules, he expressed the opinion
that any tariff revision ~necessari-
ly must be a general revision" since
I'VE can not open up some sched-
ules and extend protection to some
items and at the same time deny
protection to other manufacturers
and other commodities which need
it."

WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO


Were you born with ideas? II so.
what sort Of ideas did you inherit?
Before the days Of John Locke 1892
1704) 1t was believed that human
beings were born with certain ideas.
These were supposed to be innate In the
same sense in which our instincts, re-
fiexes and elementary emotions are
innate. 1t was argued that since no
one can prove the origin of the idea of
God and immortality which every one
seems to have. 1t must have been born
in every person or that at least the
germs Of 1t we're inherited, and In time
developed into full-fiedged ideas.
Locke, the brilliant English phil
osopher, completely demolished this
notion. BY philosophical and logical
arguments he proved once and for all
that no idea can be inherited. He
pointed out that no one claims that
the idea of fire, as universal as the
idea of God. is inherited as is the color
of the eyes and hair.
Locke was right in denying inherited
ideas. His likening of the mind at
birth to q blank sheet Of white paper
or wax waiting the impressions Of ex-
perience, however, is misleading and
utterly wrong.
Contrary to this notion of a negative
and passive mind, the mind is positive
and active. 1t takes up the sensory
experiences and builds up concepts and
ideas. Our ability to respond actively
to what we see and taste and hear and
smell, etc., is what makes human beings
unlike the animals, trees and stones
We learn more than the lower animals
because our brains are better adapted
to take the raw stuff of experience and
make something of it.
Today no one believes that people
are born with ideas. But there are a
