MT. Lucas and the President.
(New York World. ]

What is President Hoover going to do about Rob- ert H. Lucas? Here is the Executive Director of the Republican National Committee, by MT. Hoovers designation. He is shown up as using Republican campaign funds in campaign against Republi- can Senator to circulate scurrous cartoon sup ported by faked quotation ascribed to ex- Governor Smith. In this scurvy transaction he is branded with the mark of the Klan. When MT Smith de- mands proper apology MT. Lucas dodges with the silly question whether MT. Smith has become con- vert to Prohibition since the cartoon and the forged quotation were circulated. And it appears from evidence gathered by The Worlds Washington bureau that no longer ago than last October Lucas was card-indexng the nearly 12,0OO employees of the Internal Revenue Bureau, of which he had been the head until August 15, in attempt to enroll them as political phalanx in the Republican Party service, keeping [himl advised of political conditions in your community"

THE SITUATION.

Most of the business news consists of despatches from various industrial centers telling of increased employment and resumption of operations by ious units. All of this is quite to be expected at this time of the year and especially following SO severe curtailment of production in the last few weeks of December
 Those plants that have been able to keep going, however, are experiencing except in the of motor companest the mldest sort of improvement. Buyers not coming into the market new projects are not coming to light In short revival is not in the air.
 Meantime, it is becoming increasingly clear how low the level of industrial earning power has lately dipped Estimates of profits of representative major enterprises for the fourth quarter far than had been anticipated and such figures as the Texas Corporation submits are undenably sober ing. It is idle moreover, to expect much improve ment in the current three months.
 The most hopeful factor continues to be the extreme ease of money, which is facilitating new financing and which will gradually thaw out credits Tag ends of liquidation in both finance and trade may remain to be completed but the broad move ment has largely been completed and after the usual period of convaescence business should be on the mend

 Dr. Robert A. Millkan, who isolated the cleo tron' recipient of the Noble prize, and one of the foremost physicists in the world at Cleveland last week took issue with his distinguished English fellow scientists, Sir Arthur Eddngton and Sir James Jeans
 pr Mlllikan conceives creation as still going on, With a Creator directing the Universe He holds that evolution does not conflict with re- hgion but reveals God in nobler aspect
 Unlike his English fellows Dr. Milikan does not believe that the Universe is doomed to run down. HIS researches in the realm of cosmc ray convince him that infinite intelligence ceaseessy is at work eVerlastingy winding up the clock of stars and suns and mysterious voids

RETIREMENT OF WAR DEBT BY 1919

In eighteen years or by 1949 the debt of the United States may reasonably be expected to be wiped out, in the view of Treasury officials as revealed by a recent address in New York City by Ogden L. Mills. Under Secretary of the Treasury He reviewed the debt situation the past decade pointing to reductions made in that period in sub stantiation of this view.
 On July 30, 1920. the countrys bearing debt totaed $24O6l 00oOOO and the average interest rate 4225 per cent bringing the annual interest charge to s1ol6OOO0O0. On the same date in 193O the total debt reduced to s15921 900, the interest rate had dropped to 3806 per cent and the interest charge to S6O6OOOO0o representing an an- nual saving of some s4100O0.Oo0. The Second and Third Liberty Loans had been paid off in the inter vening decade and, in addition, S827 100000 in War Savings Certificates. Ten years ago there were sl6O00 100000 in bonds not redeemable until after five years, while today this has been reduced to s3 GOO 100000
 In making the reductions, the sinking fund con- Lributed s3187 100000; foreign debt repayments, principal and interest, s1.4l6o00000; surplus funds,

S3 PAT 000000; and miscellaneous funds 263,000,- 0OO
 But for the budget system reform which was
 naugurated under President Wilson, and after much opposition particularly in Congress this record would not have been possible, In commenting on the value of the budget MT Mills said: Tt is only through the budget system that the Treasury is able to meet so well the enormous demand of the Fed eral Government and at the time keep T minimum of cash on hand that it is able to deal in such tremendous figures of money, without disturbing the balance of the money market" Only the most backward of governments, whether they be National State Territorial, County or Municipal, have failed to recognize the vital importance of the budget system and the necessity in the interest of government on sound business lines of balanced budget

indoor season in the Gardens

A crowd of 5000 watched Ernie
Schaaf burly Boston heavyweight, out

in slow bout last night and brought
the unofficial average attendance for
the last five Garden boxing shows to
1900.
The three National League hockey

than 10000 packed themselves into the
Eighth Avenue Arena to see wrestling
match and 10000 paid their way in to
see three college basket ball games last
Monday night.
Certainly the Sehaaf- Braddock match
did little to boom trade tor the boxing
business. For eight rounds the spec
tatcrs alternately yeWned and bSOed as
the rival heavyweights hauled and
tugged at each otner without dong
much damage.
1t was not until the ninth round that
the boys opened up. Schaai who had
exhibited great respect for the famed
dynamite in Braddock's right hand,
abandoned his cautious tactics and
traded punches fearless:y. Braddock
won that round, but Schaaf belted him
about the body numerically in the
tenth and won a split decision.
The referee and one Judge cast bal
lots for Sehaaf and the other judge for

Schaaf and three for Braddock.
Schaaf had big pull in the weights,
scaling 1882 pounds to Braddock S

Hess Conqueror Says He'll
Go for Two More Titles.
BattaIin0 Loses.

BY the Associated Press.
~HICAGO, January "a. - Jack
kid Berg of London sat
tighter than ever on his junior
welterweight throne today.
while Bat Rattalino, king of the feather
weights, felt his scepter slipping.
The champions fought in the twin
last night and the fortune of choice
smiled on them. Berg, who staked his
crown, won a decision over Goldie Hess
of Los Angeles after 10 furious rounds
that had the crowd of 1896 spectators
cheering from start to finish.
Battalino, who riSked nothing but his
reputation, dropped decision over the
same distance to Eddie Shea, pride of
Chicagos West Side, after disappoint-
ing exhibition.
Berg's match with the freckle- faced
challenger from the Pacific Coast, was
as pleasing as the Battaflon-Shea fight
was disappointing. Suddenly reversing
his usual slow-starting tactics, Hess
swarmed all over Berg in the first
round, battered him with lowswinging
lefts and right uppercutS and daSed the
Briton
Champ Takes 1t.
But the champion weathered the
stirring attack and, except for another
Hess assault in the eighth round he
handed the challenger a neat Shellack-
ing. Boring in with a tWo-fiSted she'll
ing, Berg took the fight out and away
from Hess except at intervals. He fiayed
Hess with rights and lefts and punished
him numerically during the infighting,
at which he e.celled easily. In the
tenth round he landed several crushing
blows to the chin and Hess reeled
arou4 d the ropes, with the champion
attempting to measure him. The bell
sounded as Berg was showering Hess
with rights and lefts similar to rapid
firing gun.
1t was Berg's first fight since his re-
turn from England and afterWard he
announced that he would do everything
possible to force the champions in the
welterweight and lightweight divisions
to risk their titles against him.
And l can beat them If they give
me chance" he said. And 1 can
