by the Peruvian government, the prob
lem cannot be said to have been solved.
The steps taken so far to relieve this
state of affairs are but the foundation
of an elaborate plan institution which
will have far reaching result in the fu-
ture. Education and culture will be
without doubt the salvation of future
generations but at the present time 1t
becomes necessary to care for the needs
of those classes who today comprise
three-fourthG of the population of that
nation. If the education of this i'm
mense population of nearly 100000 In
dams who have passed the school age
is any longer postponed, their very iives
will have been sacrificed.
The Peruvian government, convinced
that the redemption of the Indisn can
not be accomplished solely by educa-
ton, it has also undertaken to solve
the agrarian problem so vital to the
life of the present Indian generation.
Briefly, it may be said that this other
part of the government program con-
sists in the proportionate legal distribu-
ton of lands, thereby making of each
Indian small property holder. In this
manner the productive efforts of each
individual Is stimulated and the, slavery

Wreath for Memorial
Taxed as ''Vegetable''

Intercourse between countries can
take on strange forms in complicated
Europe. Recently small town in
Czechoslovakia near the German from
tier, and mostly inhabited by Germans,
unveiled a monument before the whole
population of the neighboring town. A
lovely laurel wreath was sent from Ger
many through an official deputy. But
unhappily the boundary. watched by
legionnaires. lay in between; and on
this day the control was especially
sharp. After long negotiations the
German deputy was permitted to
cross-not so the laurel wreath. The
Czech legionnaires could not we'll re-
fuse the wreath, but they wanted to
collect duty on it, But under which
column on the tariff were wreaths to
be found? Funeral wreaths were not
mentioned either. They could be CLASH
fed as spices" But this did not ap-
peal to the deputy. and the jealous Gus
toms officials were obliging enough to
designate the wreath as vegetable"
So the wreath was accurately weighed
and taxed accordingly. The total duty

communism pretend to exploit, would
be forever done away with.
To carry out this part Of the program
the Peruvian government has acquired
great territorial extensions from wealthy
property holders Among them may be
found the Hacienda LauraInarca" in
the Province of Cuzco, the ''Pauranga"
in Castrovirreina, and the "Cajamarca"
in Ayacucho, which comprise popula-
ton of at least 10000 Indians. These
lands, and those acquired in the future,
will be distributed among the same ma
tives who today live as planters within
their boundaries This has been the
policy adopted; the government buys
all lands which today are more or less
unproductive for future distribution
among the natives, thus making of
each planter a small property holder.
Likewise, and in order. that it may
encourage labor, the government has
provided that an appreciate percentage
of the lands now being irrigated on the
account of the state or private indi-
viduals be gratuitously distributed
among the natives who contribute with
their efforts as reward for their Ia
bors. So nearly 600 hectares have been
distributed among the Indians who
toiled in the irrigation Of the "Pampas
del Imperial" in the Province of Canete.
In this manner is Peru bringing civ
ilization to the Indian, methodically
scientifically, at the same time that 1t
drives away the serious menace OF COM
munistic propaganda among the native
classes.

me he was setting Daumier in his place
in the art world by an article, and 1,
with one of those inspired bursts OF

that no author who Is not an artist has

apparently Henry James did not mind.

naively. Some Of these original works

the book, however, were all burned dur

After illustrating "A Little Tour in
France" Mr.. Pennen did series OF
books with JameS-"Italian Days" and
English Hours" Curiously enough, the
illustrator did not seem to think that
the author was satisfied-"but I did
my BEST" he says. This series OF books
was issued by Heineman, and it in
cluded also Hays "Castillian Days" and
Howells' italian Journeys"
But if James did not like the books
he evidently did like the illustrator, and

It would doubtless be wrong If we
were to claim, when Homer says the

honey. But advertising it certainly
was. That line would never have es-

GLASS PLAYS BANK

Wants Federal Reserve Act Altered to Halt
 "Gambling"

Washington, Nov. s [Pl-Amend- ment of the federal reserve act to make it mandatory upon the fed eral reserve board to assert it's au- thority and ito prevent by penaliza- ton such disasters in stock gamb- ling operations as have recently dis graced the country was advocated today by Senator Glass of Virginia, q former democratic secretary Of the treasury.
 Senator Glass last spring called upon the federal reserve board to dismiss Charles E. Mitchell, presi- dent of the National City Bank of New York, as a member of the board of directors of the New York Federal Reserve Bank on the ground that he had defied the board in offering call money to the market at a critical time in the mark < operations.
 In a letter today to the meeting of the association of member banks of the Boston federal reserve dis trict, the senator wrote:
 If there are men in the financial world, as l think undoubtedly there are, who imagine themselves su- perior to the existing governmental banking system and who are totally indifferent to the real coumercial and industrial interests of the na- tion, the sooner such men are re- strained and severely disciplined by adequate punishment, the better it will be for the country.
 Tn my view it is the imperative obligation of the administrators ot the Federal Reserve banking sys- tenn to assert to the limit the pow CTS which the laws confer and, in
 this way. to assert the dignity of a Federal Reserve banking system which was intended to be supreme
 within it's sphere"
 | Speaking in his letter Of things which need attention" the Virgin ian recommended modification O. the National Bank act and the Fed
 eral Reserve act so as to make it
 more mandatory, if possible, upon administrators of the banking laws to prevent by penalization, such disasters in stock gambling opera tions as have recently disgraced the country"
