charge that Herbert had shown interest in tbs
unemployment debate in the senate.
Now it appears that the explanation explains too
much. Informed by the Republicans that Herbert was
an insurance expert. the Democrats looked up his
record. They found that he was registered officially
in Rhode Island as lobbyist or agent for half a
dozen fire and life insurance companies, and that
ne also has acted an insurance company lobbyist
in other states.
With such connections can Herbert bring to the
investigation Of government unemployment insurance
the objective and impartial mind expected of the
committee chairman? Apparently the country is going
to have chance to find out because Herbert has the
lob and is holding on to it.

more unemployment, and more de-

Increased consumption abroad is
the only reliable road to better
times. Tt involves something more
than the ballyhoo of craftsmanship,
however. While the slump in our
foreign trade may be partially ac-
counted for by an unwise tariff
policy, it should be obvious to every
one that a great many people are
not buying goods from us for the
very simple reason that they can't,
that they have neither the cash,
nor the credit.

Miss Leech had been.
He didn't merely fling a typewriter

couch, I'd ranlble for ten or fifteen
minutes, pausing at last to say
piteously: won't that be enough

all having a cocktail?"
But Britt was made of sterner
stuff, and would reply: That's
only 300 words; go on
"But what shall I talk about?"
I'd want to know.
George Britt would tell me. And

when I talked as much as 900 words.

u. S, Must Be Banker

I'm the long run, we must develop
L foreign trade the same way that
we have developed domestic trade,
by a liberal and scientific method
Of financing it.
The notion that debt-smothered
foreign countries will or can provide
us markets while we hang on to
our money bags is ridiculous.
If the United States would be
merchant to them, she must first
act as banker, and that, too, in a
way big enough to fit the exigen.
cies Of the situation.
Because Of our preposterously SOL
vent condition, we have it within
our power to produce billions in
foreign trade by helping some other
countries get back on their feet
notably China, Mexico, Cuba and
Brazil.

turned to Chesapeake Bay and the tide

In concluding, he said: And, when

TTHE regular monthly meeting Of the
i D. C. Chapter of the Izaak Walton
League was held Wednesday night
at the Raleigh Hotel. Daniel Burnet,
commissioner of internal revenue, and
four others were voted in as members.
A report was submitted about the
large number of nets being operated in
Dogues Greek, despite the law prohib-
iting them from April 80 to September
Is. It is said that the creek is full of
these nets. A resolution was adopted
and forwarded to the Commission on
Game and Inland Fisheries of the State
of Virginia protesting against them. It
is understood that the Bureau of Fish
cries will take a hand in the matter If
the Virginia authorities do not enforce
the law. At the conclusion Of the busi-
ness meeting a silver loving cup was
awarded to James w. Jones for having
brought in the most members from
January 80 to June IS.

DOWN THE LINE
BY W. o. MCCLELLAN.

From my little window at the
Murray Hill Hotel I see some wreck
ers swinging their sledges in the
demolition of the old Belmont Hotel.
It struck me that If these boys were
as inaccurate in swinging those
Sledges as Camera is in swinging his
flail-like arms there would be lot
of people hurt below unless the
sledges happened to land on their
heads from the tenth story.
Mr.. Gene Tunney, who caused all
the demonstrations of this nature by
retiring, was sitting somewhere be-
hind me, greatly bored by the entire
proceedings of the evening. I got to
thinking that If Mr.. Tunney were in
there instead of Mr.. Redmond he
might have stood in one spot and
avoided all of the swings of Camera
without moving his feet. Also it
struck me that Mr.. Tunney might
have hit Camera three times while
Camera was going through the mo-
tions of one swing.
When it was all over Mr.. James
j. Johnston, the Boy Bandit, who is
appealing to the United States Su-
preme Court to match Camera
against other fighters, leaned over
my shoulder and said, Don't you
think Camera is great flghter?"
I did not wish to give Mr.. Johns
ton a short answer, so said NO"
The Quest Of O'Rourke.
THE venerable Mr.. Thomas
L O'Rourke was deeply chagrined
when Patrick took the first fall.
Patrick did it after the manner of
a skilled tumbler or foot ball play
err who falls instinctively, taking the
tumble on the back of his shoulders.
When Patrick took the second and
final fall, Mr. O'Rourke was on the
verge of tears.
You see it is the ambition of Mr..
O'Rourke to produce an Irish heavy
weight champion for sentimental or
commercial reasons, or both. He
first produced Con O'Kelly, the Irish
giant. But it was evident after
few starts that Con was not the
man.
After further search Mr.. O'Rourke
decided that Ireland might not be
the best place in which to discover
an Irish champion. So he COM
muf1icated with agents in Australia
and asked If they could not locate
him an Irish champion somewhere
in the bush. The answer came in
Patrick Redmond, but the other
night proved that it was the wrong
reply.
At present Mr.. O'Rourke's agents
are combing Bulgaria and Czecho-
slovakia in search of an Irish cham
pion. AS soon as the Soviet govern
ment gives permission, Mr.. O'Rourke
will send them into Russia to see If
there is not a likely heavyweight
there.
If he is baffled in Europe as he has
been in Australia, Mr.. O'Rourke
may dig up his next candidate in
the United States, provided a suit
able face bleach is invented. He will
dig up OLD George Godfrey and send
him along as ,Shamus McGodfrey,
the Irish giant. Or he might use
Harry Wills, billing him as Michael
OWLS, the killer of Kildare and the
heavyweight champion Of Ireland.
