When the People Speak

In terms as unequivocal as those used by the
voters Nov a. Senator Charles NIcNary, chairman of
the senate-house conference committee where the
Norris Muscle Shoals bill has languished for many
months says he will renew the fight for passage of
this bill the day after congress meets and will carry it
on until successful.
Nothing has occurred since the election more in
dcative than this of the close attention paid by wise
officials when the public makes its desires evident
McNary is one of the most astute men on Cap
itol HILL He is Republican whip of the senate, and
scheduled to be Republican floor leader if Senator
Watson retres He is on most occasions conservative
party He has supported the Norris Muscle
Shoals bill and other public power measures in the
past but not with great ardor
Last spring he was of the opinion that the race
for reelection of B. Carroll Reece Tennesseean Who
with President Hoovers outspoken approval blocked
the Muscle Shoals bill, was only "a speck on the
mirror Something which could not in any way affect
the stand of the Republican party on the issue of
power.
Now, however, McNary has seen a great light AS
party leader, he desires to do what the people want
done And his Interpretation of the votes cast Nov
for Norris and La Toilette for Pinchot and Costigan
for Roosevelt, Cross and Walsh for retirement of B.
Carroll Reece, for making public development of
power resources possible in three more states-w be
listened to with respect by conservatives in his party
No more welcome announcement than this has
come from congress in long time. McNary is an
able fighter His promise makes probable success at
last OF the long fight to make Muscle Shoals work
for the people whose money built it.

Questions and
Answers

What percentage of the wage of
the average workman is spent for
food, shelter, clothing, light and
fuel?
From available studies of expendi-
lures in working mems families,
drawn from various sources, gov
eminent and private, it may be said
roughly that the working mans
wage is spent in various costs of
living in the following percentages:
Food, 38 to as per cent; shelter, II
to 10 per cent; clothing, II to 16
per cent; fuel and light, AZ to 9
per cent; sundries, II to % per cent.
Were field hospitals and base hos
pitfalls in the World war the same?
A base hospital was some distance
behind the lines, established in
large centers where injured men
we're sent for treatment and recu-
peration. Field hospitals we're tenn
porarily established behind the
fighting lines to give first aid treat
ment to those wounded in battle,
before they were sent to a base

some quarters. not overly friendly
to the treaty, it was resented.
Pressure Resented
Opponents of the treaty point
out that eight out of ten admirais
and naval experts who have been
called before the two committees
for testimony have objected vigor-
ously to it's terms. holding that it
does not insure parity with Great
Britain, and that the United
States sacrificed at London the
right to build the type of ships
best suited to American needs.
Senator George of Georgia asked:
"Why the need for all this
hurry? Are we not to be al
lowed to look thoroughly into
a matter that SO vitality af-
fects American defense. Is it
to be rushed thrOugh?"
Other opponents of the treaty
echoed the questions of the
Georgia Senator. They asked
what was the particular need of
the Senate's rushing its action
when the other Signatories, Great
Britain and Japan. did not ap-
pear in any hurry to ratify.

would be little question about
ratification. Senator Watson (RD

estimated today that not more
than a dozen Senators are op-
posed to it at this time.
If, however, the hearings go
on and continue to develop weak
spots in the treaty such as have
been cited by numerous naval
experts during the past fortnight,
the opposition might develop to
such a point as to imperil or de-
feat ratification. It is this con-

attempts to obtain newspaper
backing, but none of the editors
she approached believed her dar-

She managed to obtain the CO.
operation of the air ministry,
however, which made it possible
for her to obtain supplies of gaso-

long flight.

Miss Johnson's flight estab-
1iShed a new record from England
to India. She arrived a Karachi,

which was 100 and the longest
