informed. Some of these cut
wages almost Immediately after
that conference.
The men whose wages were
cut know this to be true, and
nothing is gained by denying
the facts. But that was not the
Presidents fault. No one has
a right to blame him.
1t is quite true that. so far
as making the request goes. no
one could have done more to
dissuade industry from cutting
wages-until the appearance Of
Mr.. Lamont's letter. That opens
the door with a justification
for wage cuts coming from the
Administration itself.
We are afraid that not a

Danger In Wage Cutting By Claude G. Bowers

OF course, it is not within
the power of a President Of
the United States to dictate to
industries what wages shall be
paid.
When Mr.. Hoover called the
conference at the White House
in the fall of 1929 and asked
the representatives of the great
industries there assembled not
to cut wages, there was no
compelling power behind his re-
quest.
However, the stout and COM
mendable insistence of the
Administration all along that
wages be maintained has had q
good psychological effect. There
has been a feeling that in high
quarters everything possible is
being done to maintain the
wages consistent with what we.
call "the American standard Of
living"

Argues in Favor
Of Wage Cuts

Argues in Favor
Of Wage Cuts
Mr.. Lamont enters into an
argument in favor Of wage
cuts when the industry finds
itself in difficulties. He says
that some of the industries are
confronted by the necessity
either Of shutting down alto
gether, and thus throwing the
men employed into the ranks
of the unemployed, or of reduc-
ing wages. This measures the
magnitude of our disaster.
But the President can do no
more than he has done; and
though, as charged by Mr.. Con-
don, there is a wage cutting
campaign now in progress in

do nothing about it.
It seems, however, that he
can do something about it in
the case of the textile reduc-
tions, since the day after the
publication of Mr.. Lamont's
letter he did once more appeal
to the steel industry not to
cut. All that Mr.. Condor
asked was that the President
again appeal to the textile in
dustries as he has appealed to
the steel industry,

We Salute
Mr.. Klein

The President has been un'
fortunate in the blundering Of
his subordinates. Mr.. Castle.
Undersecretary of State, blum
dered when he said the Pres1-
dent had been considering
the reduction Of the debts:
Mr.. Stimson, when he admitted
that the plan in London was
partly that of the British; but
the worst blunder Is that Of
Mr.. Lamont.
It is so much a blunder that
his associates in the Admins
tration are compelled to repu-
diate him. Julius Klein, who
is the Presidents sublimated,
though queer, economist on the
tariff, has rushed to the front
with a statement of his own:
"Once we begin slashing our
standard of living, then look
out. Apart from strikes, the
consumers morale is the thing
we have to defend. Let's make
sure that the slack is taken up
everywhere else before we take
the last great thrust at the
nations buying power. 1t is the
most serious thing we could do.
That Is our last trench, and If
we are driven out of that there
is hell to pay"
For the first time we are
glad of the opportunity to
salute Mr.. Klein.

We have all known, from

felt that so long as the Pres

there would be no general

Now comes the unfortunate

letter of Secretary Lamont,
who publicly says (for it is to

SYNOPSIS: Kirk Stanard senses vague trouble in the life of Senorita Flores, whom he hopes to wed. He does not know that she, loving him, is humili- ated by the realization that she is a cigarette girl in Divitt's gambling place. Nor does he know that the story of the o,norita's engage ment to robleman, reporte by her chapercne, the marquesa, aids Divitts plan to keep her 'un- attached. Returning with Kirk from theatre party to the home of Kirk and his grand mother, Nelly Belaise, Juanita finds the marquesa searching through the drawers of Mrs. Bclaise's room. Immediately realizing that the marquesa is responsible for a series of rob berries among their new friends, Juanita forces her to take French leave of the Stanard heme and accompanies her to Divitt's.

 She remembered what Kirk had told her as the yacht was flying down the river into the Gulf. "A fellow I knew dived into this old Mississippi on a bet and never came up. They couldn't even find him. It does that"
 Murky, immense, cruel-she had hated to look at the river then. Kirk was beside her in the sun light. The past seemed plotted out for the moment. She had known nothing of the marquesa's mission. But now her closed eyes looked on the waters unafraid.

 You are insane" said Divitt in a low voice. Dangerously so. The marquesa may as well accuse you as you her"
 T do accuse her. the marquesa said suddenly.
 Why not?" Juanita asked. T carried a stolen necklace to the che who had lost it and so gained an entrance to her home.

 Well, let me tell you the police court would be safe as a mothers arms for me in comparison with what it would be for you. Further than that, you know nothing about me, can prove nothing. What you say is twaddle But I know every thing about you"
 Juanita's hand reached gropingly for the chair, found Gabreau's arm instead. She strengthened whitely, holding to Gabreaus arm. You know nothing" she said.
