A League to Spread the
Dope Evil
That Is What the League of Nations Becomes in View of
the Report of It's Advisory Committee On the Opium
Traffic-And Yet There Are Human Beings
Who Ask the American People to Join
Such a League.

IF the American people had any illusions about the sincerity
of the League of Nations efforts abolish the opium
traffic those illusions gone forever Last week
the Geneva opium conference the League unmasked itself
and showed the arg inconsistency between its PRETENsEs
and its PURPOSES.
The League of Nations, have been told million times
In the last ten years. exists make this world Paradise
Il exists to Danish forever abolish the white slave traf
c to gentle the tigers of the EARTH to give heart to all the
little wooy lambs to dispense justice everywhere to the
weak and to the strong the savage and the uncvzed the
conquerors and the conquered.
It has done of these things 1t intended by
It's creators THAT kind Of league created to
maintain the injustices and inequalities Of the savage
called peace treaty signed at Versailles in 1919 That treaty
sowed the seeds Of and hatred in every of the
earth tore nations to pieces artificial governments
colonies of proud native and invented the League
Nations guard and these mad iniquities
Were the Americans so foolish as to believe that
league sincerely wishes to put an end forever to the traffic
them consider what the League of Nations advisory commit
tee on the opium traffic did at Geneva.
The members of that committee met and talked for three
weeks Then they retired conference chamber and drew
up report I high sounding set of recommendations for
the control Of the international traffic in narcotics Read
over and you fine phrases regulations
for estimating the amount Of narcotics required by each
tOn definite suggestions for the regulation of the manufac
ture Of narcotics
You read on and and and you almost decide that
the league sincere Then you look for something in the
report about limiting the PRODUCTION of opium You find
nothing not word about killing the opium traffic at the
source-the only place where it CAN be killed.
Finally you discover that the delegates this conference
had their hands tied before they left their homes The AS
sembly of the League gave them NO AUTHORITY SUB
NIT PLANS FOR THE CONTROL OF PRODUCTION. The
League said to the conference You may discuss ways and
means of choking traffic. but you MUST NOT talk about
cutting down production the fields and factories of the
opium bloc. Talk all you want but be careful DO
anything!'
Well the conference has obeyed its instructions, The
League of Nations has remained true the opium bloc It
has kept faith with It's members who produce opium de-
bauch the world for the sake of filthy profits It spoken
fair words and approved foul deedand yet there human
beings of such blindness effrontery that they ask the
American people to join such league THAT!

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
BY Dr.. Louis z. BiscA'

Mental tests are coming more
and more into vogue IS stand
ard measures Of mental ability.
Some persons have the idea
that such tests are absolutely
accurate. especially when used
on children. while others refuse
to credit them with any value
whatsoever.
Neither Of these extreme
views is correct.
Mental tests are employed %
measure processes in an %
jective and quantitatiVe way!
They are standards that have
been arrived at after exper1
ments upon hundreds and often
thousands Of subjects.
They show what all averaGe
individuals of a certain aER
and under certain prescribed
conditions are able to do
Mental tests do not presEnd
to measure all faculties. al
aptitudes or all traits. They Go
not even pretend to measure
any one single faculty in It's
entirety.
It is absurd to assume. for
instance, that IL q man Of thirty
obtains only q score Of II
years on a mental test that
this means his mind Is that q
a youth Of II.
All such q score would mean
is that the person in question
can do certain things that the
average l7-year-old Is capaSle
Of but that ne cannot %
certain other things that u
or older adoleScents Of averaEs
ability are capable Of DONG
In addition. however. he wosilc
possess capacity for other peT.
formances beyond the ability g
those of l8, that the test used
could not measure or even
hint at.
To be sure. this person we are
talking about may possess an N
ferior or enfeebled mental1fy-
But if he does, he certainly ms
abilities for thinking and o0ang
simply because he has lived
longer-that 17-year-Olds are N
capable Of.
In other words, this 3O-year in
dividual is II years plus Ano
that plus is an unknown quAn-
tity that no tests yet invented
are able to evaluate!

DROUGHT
RELIEF BILL IS CUT
House Reduces $50, 900, 900
Proposal to $50, 600, 900.
Food Loans Hit.
By the Associated Press.

I By the Associated Press.
! Consideration of drought relief legis-
lation was resumed today in the House
after the House Agriculture Commit
tee had reduced from $50, 10000 to
100000 the Senate drought relief
loan bill.
The committee also struck out Ian
guage authorizing loans to farmers
for human food.
The vote to report the bill was I6 to
after the Democrats, Joined by Rep
ressntative CARRIER, Republican, Virginia,
had been defeated on an effort to retain
the Senate figure.
Postal Bills Work Postponed.
Scheduled work en- postal bills was
authorized for open debate of the $780,
100000 feed, seed and fertilizer loan bill
approved earlier in the day by the Agri-
culture Committee over objections by
Democrats.
BY this action, passage of the bin to-
morrow was made possible. Debate was
limited to three and one-half hours, the
arguments to end with today's session
and amendments to be offered tomor-
row.
Secretary Hyde today declared S25,-.
100000 would be sufficient to take care
Of needs of drought-stricken farmers.
Testifying before the House Agricul-
ture Committee, the Secretary said the
Agriculture Department views the Sen
ateS proposal to provide funds for loans
for food as "a very dangerous PROPOSE
tion.'
Nationally, Hyde said, drought dam
age was confined to corn, hay and
pasturage There was no harm from a
national standpoint on the cotton crop,
but various local areas were affected.
Representative Jones, Democrat, Texas.
asked whether the department would
use all of the $50, ,000, 900 as proposed
in the Senate resolution, If 1t were
enacted. The Texan pointed out that
the resolution was merely an authoriza-
ton and that the department would
not be required to expend it for loans
unless the demands were sufficient to
require it.
Hyde Says Provision Unnecessary.
Secretary Hyde replied: There is no
need to provide more money than
necessary; 1t is unnecessary to throw
the budget out Of balance in this man
ner."
In the past few years, he added. it
renee for farmers to appeal to the
| Federal Government for loans. The
department has kept the loans to seed,
| feed and fertilizer purposes.
i personally regard loans by the
Federal Government for food on such
thin security a dangerous step toward
/ the dole system in this country" Hyde
| said. 1T is our view this principle of
Federal loans should not be expanded. +"
| Cases outside the need of loans for
! crop necessities, he told Representative
/ Fulmer, Democrat, South Carolina,
ARE proper cases for the Red Cross"

| Representative Aswell, Democrat,
| Louisiana, at this mornings hearing,
estimated 1000 900 prisons were affected

age in Facing Problems.

President Hoover is facing greater
responsibility than any President has
faced in peace time, and is meeting
these many problems in a manly and
courageous manner, according 70 the
opinion expressed today by Senator
Watson of Indiana, Republican leader
of the Senate.
This tribute 10 the President was paid
by the Senate leader as he was leaving
the White House after half hour con-
ference with Mr.. Hoover. They dis
cussed principally the legislative situa-
ton In the Senate.
The Republican floor leader said the
President probably is doing a little
better job than we are doing up on
the hill
Senator Watson said there vas a
private telephone between us Cffice and
the Presidents Office and that not a
day had passed recently when he and
the Pres-uent had not been in con-
ference.
He expressed the opinion Congress
should stay in session until unemploy-
ment relief legislation was enacted,
even though they had to work through
the holidays.
THE country" he said, would con-
demn us, and justly, If we adjourned
before passing these bills.
81 have resolution in my pocket
calling for adjournment on Saturday,
but it looks like we can not get away
at that time We may be able to leave
on Tuesday"
The Senate, Watson said, never goes
directly at a problem but generally zig
gags.
I'VE are zigzagging now," he added,
but as always we will get there
eventually"

DISTRICTS FISCAL
BURDEN CRITICIZED
Auditor Says Federal Aid
Lessened Despite Greatly
Increased Expenses.

Property-owners of the District are
willing to pay fair tax providing the
United States contributes an equitable
share toward the development of the
city, Maj. Daniel j. Donovan, District
auditor and budget officer, today told
the special House Committee on Fiscal
Relations.
Under no condition, Mai. Donovan
declared, should the Federal Govern
ment be relieved Of participating in the
burden of maintaining the District. He
also was insistent tnat any formula
used in arriving at the amount of the
Federal contribution should take into
consideration the vast tax-exempt prop
erty holdings of the United States.
U. 8. Contributions Drop.
Maj. Donovan pointed out that de-
spite an increase of about 1870 per
cent in appropriations for the District
in the last 10 fiscal years, the United
States Is contributing 5000, 900 less than
it did in 1920 toward the expenses of
Washington. He explained that since
1920, the last year Of the $3.50 fiscal
policy, appropriations for the District
jumped nearly $26,00O.O0O and that the
major portion of this increase has
been met by increased taxation Of real
property.
Maj Donovan gave the committee an
exhaustive graphic picture of the I'm
ancial condition Of the District under
the various plans of fiscal relationship,
and declared that under no circum-
stances could Washington have been
developed to Its present state without
Federal aid.
Sketches Appropriations Growth.
Sketching the growth of the appro-
priations over the 10-year period, Mai.
Donovan said that in 1920 the total ap-
propriated for the District was $l9,-

$9,990.396 and the United States So
