NEW YORK, Oct. 3@PEThe

Thomas w. Lamont, partner OF y.

published today.
I'VE have clearly in sight the
elements Of business and industrial

the community to utilize these
elements. Our people must regain
confidence in themselves, I'm the
underlying strength Of our Amer
lean institutions"

The dole. he continued. may be
the method Of meeting unemploy-
ment In some countries, but 1t Is
not the American way"
Time, he said. will cure some of
the ills of the current business
depression. Concerning unemp-oy-
ment, he warned that unless
through private efforts, we do
our share to relieve the situation,
we shall inevitably load all the
burden upon the state" That. ne
said. is a situation not to be
desired.
GoSslps Censured
He criticized rumor mongers who
predict misfortune that never will
happen Optimism was carried
to absurd heights two years ago,
he said, while nov peSsimism Is
being carried 10 ~unreaSoning and

Many persons ignore complete

American situation. No country in
the world is blessed with SO many
natural resources as ours.
There is nc royal road To re-

3. IA wave of regret swept over
Ulster today with news Of the death
Of Sir Thomas Upton, its friend
and benefactor.
Viscount Craigavon, premier OF

outstanding business man who would

ever displayed"
The U. S. will mourn his loss as
deeply as any Of us here" he said.
Throughout his yachting career he
did much to cement the cordial re-
lations between that great republic
and The British people. I hope Ais
passing will touch hearts on both
sides of the Atlantic and knit st;ll
further the golden bands Of friend
ship"
Buried In Glasgow.
His loss was felt also in the little
town OF Bangor, headquarters of the
royal LulSte- yacht club, where he
was known personally by almost
every adult and was the idol Of
every schoolboy. He was recalled as
a genial, kindly man who had ! ade
their yacht club famous around the
world.
In accordance with his wishes Sir
Thomas will be buried beside the
members OF his family in Glasgow.

HOOVER STARTS
ON MESSAGE TO
NEXT CONGRESS-
Prepared Also to Submit His
Appointments to Fed
eraI Posts.

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.-Presi-
dent Hoover told newspaper men
at his regular press conference to-
day that he had begun work on
his message to the seventy-second
congress, scheduled to open early
next month. He said that he also
is prepared to submit to congress
his appointments to fill various va
cancies in government posts.
Among the appointments, he said,
would be two members of the tariff
commission, one of the farm board
and some twelve or fifteen mem
bers OF the judiciary.
The President said he had several
names under consideration and that
they would be submitted to con-
gress at its opening.
Hoover said he thought also that
the budget message would be as
important as the regular presiden-
tial message to congress. He con-
sidered the budget message particu-
larly important because of the
emergency measures to be suggest
ed to meet what the President en-
phasized is an emergency situation.
He said, however, that the emer-
gency measures will not be any
thing startling.

Armv Nav Lose Planes

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10. - The
army air corps will lose out on the
construction of more than 300 air
planes if the League of Nations
one-year disarmament truce already
conditionally accepted by the United
States goes into effect, it was
learned today.
The Morrow five-year army air
program for building up this coun-
try's aerial forces provided maxi
mum of 1900 planes, with 23S addi-
tional to take the place of planes
under repair. The number already
delivered totals only 1874. The
army air corps has 1850 officers
while the Morrow plan included
1000.
The navy, which was given 1000
planes by the Morrow board, has
completed its program. 1t will not
suffer from American participation
in any disarmament move, especial
ly if the pact provides for construc-
tion of replacements, as originally
intended

YOUNG URGES
REVISION FOR
BANKING LAWS

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4. U.D -
Owen d. Young, New York finan-
cier, and chairman of the General
Electric company, today told the
Glass subcommittee investigating
banking conditions that all COM
mercial deposit banking in the
United States should be controlled
under one law and one authority.
He said the present divided con-
trol, multiple and liberalized laws
and competition between national
and state banking systems tended
TO weaken their administration.
Young told the committee that he
favored amending the federal con-
stitution, if necessary, to set up the
banking system and reforms that
he described.
All banks of deposit, distinguished
from savings institutions, should be
national banks, Young said.
"Their reserves should be mobi-
lized in the federal reserve system, -
he declared. "Then we could de-
velop for the country as a whole
sound banking system, and defi-
nitely fix responsibility

CONTINUALLY LEARNING
w. G. COSTELLO,
Manager

Catastrophes such as the present one
in New Zealand prove how idle is man
boasted conquest of nature, boast tnat
we hear every so often when something
new is achieved in the way of invention.
Dispatches from the stricken area re-
port terrifying occurrences, the series OF
severe earthquakes being accompanied
by a tidal wave, the floor of the ocean
was lifted as much as Is feet in some M
stances and terrific landslides added TO
the horror of the disaster.
An unknown number OF lives have been
lost, thousands have been injured and the
property damage will reach to millions
Of dollars.
Nature gave awful proof that she still
is able to make man look puny but that
need not discourage his efforts to over
come the obstacles she places in his paths
every so often The havoc nature has
caused can be repaired, all but replacing
the lives that were lost.
New buildings will replace those that
have been shaken down. and in all prob
ability the new buildings will be better
ones Medical skill and science will care
for the injured. Engineers may dredge
out the harbor destroyed by the rise IN
the floor of the ocean and make it better
than it was before.
If man became discouraged by the set
backs which nature hands him every so
often there would be no progress. AS
long as he continues to pick himself up
and try again, each time that nature
deals him whack, he will continue to
progress and he cannot avoid learning
something new with each bit of adversi-
ty dealt him.
Dame Nature is still able to strike ter
ror to him, but he is continually improv-
ing the fight he can make against her
when she goes on a rampage.

UNCLE WIGGnY'S MISTAKE

Uncle Wiggily started out, on
Candlemas Day, to try and fix it
so neither the bear nor the ground
hog gentlemen would come out OF
their dens to see their shadows, IN
case the sun was shining. For there
is an old saying that if the bear ,or
groundhog) sees his shadow sen
Candlemas Day he goes back into
his den, from which he came to
break his long sleep, and seeing his
shadow makes him go back in and
stay for six weeks instead OF four.
Many believe that if the bear Tor
groundhog) doesn t see his shadow
there will be only one month more
of cold weather.
Uncle Wiggily, going to call on Mr.
Stubtail the bear gentleman, stop
ped TO pick some bright red seed
pods from a dried rose bush. The
Bob Cat rushed out to catch the
