i. S. Must Protect Public = By Claude G. Bowers

We have a further explana-
ton of the functions Of the
Presidents Emergency Unem-
ployment Relief Committee
from owen D. Young, announc-
ing plans for the campaign to
be launched soon for money to
prevent suffering and starva-
ton this winter.
"There is to be no campaign
for a national fund of any
character" he says.
Each community will raise
its own funds: and of course
each. community would have
to raise its own funds if the
President had appointed no
committee at all.
Each community has been
raising its own funds during
the last two years. But the
Presidents e. nittee will con-
tribute free advertising TO- the
campaign, free broadcasting for
appeals and free propaganda
on the screen.
This assistance should count
in awakening the people to the
necessities Of the hour; but the
nation, as a governmental
entity has nothing to do with
it. The appeal is for private
charity.
We shall soon know whether
private charity will suffice.
There are hundreds of +'-ou-
sands of middle class families
that previously re contrib
uted to such funds 10 can
not afford to now. Many of
these have lost their income.
Many are in distress. And
most are outstanding their

However that may be, it is

only power strong enough to
meet the emergency of the

He does not propose a dole.

Bankers Feathering Own
Nests, Colby Declares

cambridge Colby, Secretary
of State under Wilson, has just
spoken to the nation over the
radio on the present ballyhoo
for extensions of the mora
torium and the reduction, or
cancellation, of the debts. He
has no doubt that the bankers
plan is ultimate, if not early,
cancellation. And he suggests
a reason.
The bankers here have loaned
as much as three billion dollars
in Germany alone, not to the
German government, but to
private enterprises. These loans
were made at good interest for
the purpose of making great
profits or the banks.

Secretary Arthur Henderson, OF
Great Britain, Germany agreed
today to submit the proposed
customs union treaty with Aus
tria to the consideration Of the
League of Nations Council, it was
learned here on the highest au.
thority.
The German government re.
versed its previous adamant
stand against such a step when
misunderstanding" in regards
to the British proposal were
cleared after a new conference
between England's representative
and WilhelmStraSSe.
Diplomatic circles here de-
clared that Henderson never pro-
posed q political scrutiny of the
pact by the international body,
but that such an impression had
been enormously gained by the
entire British press.
It was felt here that the
League Council, if confronted
with the issue at it's May meet.

National League in club batting, they

ing and are so near the top in nu-

not difficult to see why they clinched

first in stolen bases with 107. figures
including Thursdays games show.
They are tied with New York in
fielding, each with al average of
.974. No other club is at or near
the top in so many phases of the
game.
In addition to their collective ex-
c~ellcnce. the Cards have two hitters,
Jim Bottomley and Chick Haley, in

championship. frankie Frisch, vet

the list with II won and 3 lost, fol-
lowed by Derringer with II and Z,
Hallahan with 18 and 8, and Grimes
with II and 8.
The race for the individual batting
leadership of the league was SO tight
through Thursday it was difficult to
locate the leader. Bill Terry, Giant
first baseman, had it by one point,
with an average of .342. Chuck

Densmore Shute Of Hudson, O., and
Tom Creavy, 20~-year-old Albany pro-
fessional, Saturday were finalists in
the professional golfers association
championship, one Of the games
most difficult tests.
The great Bobby Jones accepted
an invitation to referee their So
hole match at Wannamoisett.
Shute's deadly putting accounted
Tor two Of the worlds greatest golf
ers on successive days, Tommy
Armour and Billy Burke, winner OF
this years American Open title.
Creavy gained the final yesterday
when he defeated Gene Sarazen. who
has won all kinds of championships,
S and 3.
Sarazen did not play the kind of
golf against Creavy that the steady
and stubborn Burke turned in against
Shute. Shute's expert putting turned
the tide late in the afternoon round,
Shute and Burke had to play SO
holes before Shute won by the mar
gin Of one hole.
