FRANCE WILL
KEEP FAITH
AYERS LAVAL
Premier Lands at lie Havre
to Be Greeted by Huge
Holiday Crowd.

LIE HAvRE, France, Nov. a.
Premier Pierre Laval returned to-
)m the United States, voicing
his confidence that France will
keep the faith" on plans for inter
national collaboration discussed at
Washington.
He announced his plans to ar
range an international conference
on separations revision early in De-
cember.
Hailed by blare of bands and
SHOUTS Of a crowd that cheered him
as conquering hero, Laval landed
on French soil with the knowledge
that he had upheld firmly the
policies Of his government abroad.
The conversations in Washing
ton accomplished more than l had
hoped for, Laval said as he landed
at the flag-bedecked quay where a
crowd on holiday because of Me-
mortal day and All Saints day had
gathered in the bright sunshine.
France Will Keep Faith
Primarily the conversations re-
suited in mutual agreement for con-
sultation before political action in
the future. This will permit France
liberal action in Europe.
Il want to assure Americans that
France will keep the faith. I per-
sonally will invite parliament to
take the initiative possibly in auda-
cious measures for Impeachment
with Germany, and in other steps to
rehabilitate Europe. President Hoo
yer stressed, and I agree, that re-
covery depends on helping Germany
to get on her feet.
France is willing to go far. She
asks only the loyal efforts of Ger
many. If it is decided that the
reparations burden is too great,
France is willing to converse in an
effort to reduce all inter-govern-
mental debts Gall inter government
oil debts include war debts owed the
United States, but 1 must stress
that France and Belgium must be
paid in full for the material dam
ages of the war.
Must Judge Own Security
France also must be allowed to
judge her own security require
ments."
The lie de France had a rough
crossing from New York, but the
weather was bright and clear as it
put into LIE Havre with the pre-
mier's party, including his daughter,
Mile. Jose, who has become the
most discussed young woman of
France as a result of her trip to
the United States.
The premier appeared happy to
be home and was refreshed by his
ocean voyage after a strenuous visit
in Washington and New York, but
he obviously was eager to board the
special train and speed to Paris.
There he will report Immediately
to President Paul Doumer and his
cabinet.
On Tuesday he will talk with
Edouard- Herriot, and other politi-
cal leaders and parliamentary COM
mittees. He also will acquaint the
German and British ambassadors
with the results of his journey.

There has been no considera-
tion of man power to operate

some way or another.
We have been very active for
some generations in legislation

the result of our striving in
that direction has not been
entirely satisfactory. In the

the darkness of the present de-
preston, more attention must
be given to the more important
duty of legislating to build up
men.
We hear much of the neces-
Sity of reversing our national
policy by repeating legislation
against combinations in re-
straint of trade; for we are
told that to build up business
it must not be hampered by
the regulations and prohibitions
of organized society.
It is time to reverse our ma
tional and social policy of in

safety of men and to take some
steps toward unemployment

There is song in me.
Have you ever been haunted
by a song,
A secret song,
Which passes ever and ever
Through your mind, through
your heart,
No matter what is happening
to you outside?
Some homely, gay little tune,
Some wistful, sweet melody,
Which warns you and COM
forts you,
Though the day may be dark
And your burden heavy
Have you ever been haunted
BY a song like that?
There is a song in me,
There is a song in me like that.
It goes on and on in me,
It has always gone on and on
in me
In spite of everything that has
happened.
And many things have hap
pened,
For I have come long way
And have missed very little en-
the road.
Many things have happened,
Vicious things, tragic things,
Monotenous things which
chafed
More cruelty than grief.
I have been poor and hungry,
1 have been foolish and
ashamed,
I have lost everything I loved.
If any person has a right
To say that life isn't worth
living,
Then I'm that person.
BUT THERE IS A SONG IN
ME.
There is a song IN me
That never has stopped.
It did not stop
When I was most desperate,
Or most a failure,
Or even when the grave
Took all I had.
Always that song went on IN
me,
Something like this:
This will pass,
This is not all. -
