Cancellation Of War Debts

All the European delegates who attended the Inter-
national Chamber OF Commerce convention in the
city Of New York stressed the importance Of early
cancellation by the American government Of the war
loans made to allied nations. In other words, they ask
ed that American taxpayers. who advanced loans total
ing billions, shall relieve European nations Of debt
payment.
Business is business. There is no place in the his
tory Of Great Britain where its government relieved
the debtor of a loan advanced. II is not recorded in
the history Of France that its government has CANCEL
ed a loan advanced to a sister nation. There Is no
place in the history Of Germany or all down the line.
Why should the American people assume the payment
of this huge debt for the benefit of foreign nations
and individuals? Dismissing the government loans
American banks and bankers have invested in the
shape Of loans IS billion dollars in foreign nations or
individuals since the treaty. OF peace was signed.
Generosity should begin at home. There are six mill
lion unemployed men and women in this country who
are said 10 be not only able but willing to work and
this vast army Is entitled 70 first consideration on the
part Of their fellow Americans.

LETTERS to
the EDITOR

To the Editor:
/ have just made a check OF sew
eral stores in Brownsville and 9TH
er Valley towns ana find q very
grievOus and unethiCal practice III
connection with a local situation
that deserves some earnest consi-
Iteration and action.
l find these stores heavily stock
cd with potatoes shipped IN from
Colorado and other northwestern
states and being sold in competi-
ton with Valley potatoes; and at
a price approximately double the
local product. Some OF these stores
had no Valley potatoes in stock.
Certainly We would not charge In
territorial discrimination against
u local farmers. nor place the
blame for this situation entirely
upon the merchant: the wholesale
house and the housewife are
parties to the crime. The whole
sale house supplies the commodity
and the housewife unwittingly buys
il.
One grower who has quite an
acreage Of potatoes still ~unharVest-
ed for lack OF a market stated that
a check OF his wife's grocery order
this week showed q large bag OF
Colorado potatoes. purchased at 1
cents per pound, when his own
product could not be sold for half
that price. Another housewife was
observed buying beans, canned in
Maryland, whose husband was
working almost day and night put
ting his 20 acre bean crop on the
market at rs cents per bushel.
OF course we know that a lot OF
people have been sent 10 the insane
asylum for a less display or in
sanity than Is depicted IN the
above paragraphs. And il seems
that q frank discussion with these
tlagrant offenders, through the
columns OF the press would be very
timely.
You will recall the wonderful
results produced by the press two
or three years ago when a similar
condition existed in the Valley. II
is really deplorable, many OF our
farmers still have their entire
potato crop on hand and cannot
move II a penny a pound. The VAL
ley could consume this entire crop
In a few weeks time az a fair price.
Being a producer. and OF course
a victim OF the above mentioned
combination. YOU a appreciate
nv position in making this con-
structive suggestion.
Cordially
r. Roy Ruff.

Lawmakers Enact State Park Bill

Another measure has been enacted that calls for
sweeping approval. A bill authorizing incorporated cit
les. countries and the Texas state park board 70 ac-
quire lands for and operate public parks mutually Is
now on Gov. Sterling's desk. Provision Is made in the
bill for the governor and the state prison bond to
permit the use Of oonvicts for improvising and main
tanning parks acquired under terms OF the measure.
Another parks board bill still pending would authorize
the acquiring b. the state Of five major parks. II
should be enacted.
State parks. county parks and city parks are need
cd in a thousand spots under the skies OF Texas. Save
the trees. preserve the wonders Of nature. In a wood
land sense, and make Texas as famed for its parks
and Fairgrounds As It Is famed for its having had an
existence under six separate flags. T. A. Keen, who Is
an authority, writes that the tourist camp industry has
grown TO be one OF the largest in the state. In other
words, the tree camp has gone forever. In its place has
risen the cottage camp, modern IN every detail. He
writes that California began building camps as early
as 1898. Today il ranks second in number-Texas lead
ing by several hundred. Texas has HOO camps, Cali
fornia has 900 with Arizona and Oregon running close
behind California.
OF the Texas places approximately 500 are OF the
better type-real Al camps. All newer camps are OF
the modern kind. many built during the last two or
three years being remodeled 10 the present standard
in construction and equipment. Many OF the newer
camps are like the better class Of homes with the ex-
ception that they are smaller. His conclusion; THEY
ARE EFFICIENCY APARTMENTS"

Cut-Rate Iheater Ticket Ming
WnO Once Forced Him Out Df
Business on the Main Stem
NEW YORK-When Joe LEBLANC,
Broadway'S famous cut-rate theater
ticket king. passed on. his reins OF
government were taken over by
one Matthew Zimmerman.
And since "Zim'. as they nick
name him on the main stem. is GER
tain TO be heard OF from time TO
time, We might as well introduce
him with a little yarn that has a
slightly ironic twist.
Time was when Zim had a con-
siderable ticket business OF his own.
And there were many others. But
LEBLANC. in his rise TO multi-mil-
iionaire theater figure. put one Of
them out OF business after the
other. Almost Invariably. once the
competitor was vanquished. Joe
would buy him out. And Tim was
just about the last TO take the
count. He had reached the situa-
ton where Leblang's power was so
great that all available loose tick
cts we're ccrnered. Zim had nothing
TO sell.
LEBLANC had 50 much respect for
the others ability. however. that
the minute Zim had been put out
Of business Joe hired him 70 open
and manage the ticket shop at 43rc
Street which has become known Il
every man. woman or child whC
ever walked Broadway.
AT that time 43rd Street wa
considered way UP town. for New
York's theater life had centeret
south Of Times Square. The up.
town" office was little more than (
hole in the wall: an eX-bootblacl
shop.
