REVISION OF
DEBTS URGED
BY BANKERS
World Good Times
Seen AS Result
OF Plan

BASEL. Switzerland. Aug. 10. CS
"A recommendation that the en-
tire structure Of inter-governmentaI
war debts and German r~eparations
be revised as the first step toward
the return Of world prosperity was
made today by the Wiggin bank
erS' committee.
The committee was set up by the
bank for international settlements
az the beheSt or the seven-Dowpr
conference in London 10 investi-
gate Germany's credit needs. IL IN
headed by Albert III. WiEgin az
New York. chairman on the board
Of the Chase National bank. and IN
composed az the representatives az
the ten laeding banking nations OF
the world.
See Good Times
Their report criticized political
differences existing between Ger
many and her European neighbors
and urged that current dispute be
cleared up in order that good
times might again prevail in all
nations.
Germany's ~reparationS payments
were aSSailed as an immense OBJ
stacle TO the peaceful, economic
progress Of the world and the great
powers were advised 10 lose no
time IN revising the schedule OF
international payments.
We therefore conclude the re-
port said, by urging most earnest
~ upon all governments concerned
that they lose no time in taxing
The necessary measures for bring
ing about such conditions as VIII
allow financial operations 10 bring
70 Germany, and thereby ~ tho
world, sorely needed assistance.
Mutual Confidence
I'VE think 1t essential that be-
fore the period Of proIonRati0n OF
credits recommended by the Lon
don conference comes TO an end
That the governments concerned
should give TO the world the as
surance that international political
relations are established on a basis
OF mutual confidence, which is the
sine qua non OF economic recovery,
and that International payments to
DC made by Germany will not be
such as 20 imperil the maintenance
Of her financial stability
The recommendation came from
leading bankers OF the United
States and France, heretofore out
standing opponents OF such rnyi-
sion.

Trouble Is the sensational ones

But when he advocates cutting
out the cotton crop Of 1892 he has
sense and plenty OF It.
Cut out one years supply Of cot
ton, and the cotton farmer would
benefit.
Trouble is-how to put the idea
into effect.
Can't do II by legislation.
You can't make a farmer do any
thing, any more than you can make
q business man or a professional
man do anything.
Show the farmer how he will
benefit, show him how to live with
out raising a cotton crop for one
year.
That might do 1t.
Goodness knows the South just
HAS 10 do something TO bring the
cotton crop back as a money crop.
In the meantime the South can

said, however. he was not taking
any action in that direction and
had not planned 10 do so.
Opposed Program
Hardy is chairman Of the house

and vas an opponent OF the gov
ernor's conservation program.
Gov. Sterling was not in the
capital. His secretaries said he had
gone 10 Houston and probably
would not return until Friday.
Hardy said he planned to offer
his resolution in the house as s0On
as the house completed its investi-
cation Of j. b. Price, Judge Of the
21st judicial district. This inquiry
probably will end tonight.
In a statement 70 the press,
Hardy bitterly criticized the gov

troops.
The governor let the east Tex

days while the legislature was In
session." Hardy stated. He waited
until the legislature passed a law
that evidently suited his taste
because he signed 1t the same night

Not Justified
He appears 10 be trying TO do

Leo Potvin and Virgil White made the
supreme sacrifice, not in direct line of
duty, but following out the highest tra-
ditions of the Americans navy. They
died in the flames of wrecked stage,
after valiantly struggling to bring
woman to safety. That their struggles
were in vain, death also claiming the
woman, does not make their heroic act
job less praiseworthy.
Not even a number of Whites COM
rades who were also passengers on the
stage, could tell who he was. Just

for him, in common with the comraderie
of the navy.
Instead of looking upon Uncle Sans
sailors in the unfavorable light SO often
accorded them by writer's and in motion
picture films, their fellow citizens should
remember that there are more like White
and Potvin in the navy than there are of
those who are not all that they should
be-
Just any couple of sailors may be a

LINCOLN

Observance of the anniversary of
Abraham Lincoin's birth draws partieu-
lar attention this year because OF the re-
cent criticism of him by Edgar Lee
Masters. whose book seeks to strip from
Lincoln many of the reasons for the love
and veneration in which the Martyred
Presidents memory is held by Ameri-
cans. and indeed by many who are not
Americans.
1t is, perhaps, foolish for us to become
unduly excited about what Masters says.
The place Abraham Lincoln holds in Am
erican and world history is so secure, that
it would take more than the puny efforts
of any one person to destroy 1t.
But as criticism or an attack on loved
one is bitterly resented by those who hold
him near and dear, SO too Americans re-
sent Masters ill-chosen remarks.
Lincoln was human, and in common
with eli mortals, he had his faults and
his peculiarities. To rise from the OBJ
scurity of a three-sided shack in the
frontier country of Kentucky, to the lead
ership of great nation, and to pilot that
nation safely through the most perilous
period in its history, required courage,
confidence super-human patience and
broad understanding of life.
No man could have been more humane
than the Lincoln who furrowed his
cheeks with tears as he thought of the
thousands of young men and boys sacrl-
ficed on the altar of their country and
shared the heartaches of the mothers,
wives and sisters they left behind them.
