BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

Germany's appeal to the world for
reduction in the World War reparations
which she is compelled to pay mas
met the favor of Senator William e
Borah, chairman Of the Senate Finance
Committee. In a statement issued last
night Senator Borah declared that re-
vision of the reparationS settlement was

and fundamentally just
The chairman of the Foreign Rela-
tions Committee took the position that
to grind Germany to complete eco
nomic breakdown would be a mistake
from which all Europe and the world
would suffer.
Demands Arms Cut.
Discussing the question whether the
United States should play its part in the
proposed revision of the PREPARATIONS
which Germany must now pay under
the Young plan through the reduction
or cancellation of the war debts owed
this country by Britain, France, Italy
and other nations, Senator Borah said
he would be willing to agree to debt
The principal condition, he said
would be an agreement, actually car
ried out, to reduce ornaments.
IF Europe would reduce ornaments
and disarm to a large extent, then
would be willing to cancel the war
debts" said Senator Borah, replying
to question after he had issued his
arationS. But If the countries OF
Europe would take advantage of the
cancellation of their debts to America
merely to increase or to continue with
their heavy expenditures for arma
ments, there is certainly no reason why
the American taxpayer should be called
upon to throw money into that cess
pool"
Called Revision Just.

by the Nations to whom reparations

is where the great weight of this bur-

families are being sacrificed. That is
a calamity the evil consequences of
which, to say nothing of its inhumanity,
no tongue can properly express.
In considering this question of rep
arations revision and the ability of the
German people to pay, it ought not to
be overlooked that one of the great
contributing causes of the depression in
Europe and which has made it more
difficult for Germany to meet her obli-
cations is the constantly increasing
burden of ornaments superinduced by
the nations other than Germany and in

SPEEDING SUFFERS
BY UNF AM|L|AR|TY
Time and Place Must Be
Recognized for Best Re-
suits and Safety.

Speed, like power, is an outstanding
advantage of modern automobiling
which stands to suffer by reason of the
public's unfamiliarity with it, unless an
immediate effort is made by millions OF
motorists to use it with discretion and
to the end that it may serve them eff
ficiently Plain evidence of this is seen
in the inability of many drivers to rec
ognize the many opportunities for put
ting speed to better use
A high-speed average is making 1t
possible to increase ones touring radius,
to cut down the time required for max
ing regular errandS and to eliminate
fatigue. The cars speedability Itself
however, is not always employed log
ically, with the result that high aver
age does not actually materialize. Err
.'atic driving is notably conspicuous.
More and Safer Miles.
1t is with q view toward getting more
and safer miles out of the speedability
of the newer cars that many persons
in the automobile trade, and not few
safety advocates, are urging motorists
to become more thoroughly familiar
with the newer capabilities of their cars
and the changing traffic conditions. OBJ
tanning a higher speed average for traf-
f1c, they maintain, still is more a mat
ter Of headwork than horsepower.
Skillful drivers are taking advantage
of the well-paved hills for utilizing
speed to best advantage. A car travel

ing fast uphill is safer than one going
the same speed on the level, for the
reason that the grade makes decelera-
ton more effective. Stopping Is far
easier on the upgrade. Invariably,
traffic conditions ahead are more ac-
curately gagged, since many hills have
no intersecting highways and are be-
ing rebuilt so as to eliminate sharp
curves.
In a State where the law permits
him to do so one motorist runs his
car up to its top climbing speed on
the majority of newly paved hills. On
the level his speed is modest compared
to many drivers Who take chances
whizzing by him. AS a result of this
plan. his average speed has moved
ahead considerably.
To Get Best Results.
To obtain the best results from a
cars speed capabilities it is necessary
to service it intelligently. Many cars
which should be able to give their own
ers unusual road performance are
handicapped through poorly seating
valves, improper fabrication and neglect
of the cooling system. Hills continue
to be one of the biggest factors in cut
ting down speed average, and no mo-
torist can expect to meet this situation
with a car that has not been to the
service station regularly.
Without proper service, acceleration Is
sacrificed, which, in turn has marked

Success in producing and selling au-

business generally and on the degree Of
prosperity which may be expected in
the country, according to c. H. Bliss,
Nash sales manager.
For automobile making ranks first

During boom periods there is volume
production in almost every line OF en-
deavor and consequently prosperity and
plenty, but during business recesSions
incomes are reduced and every one Is
forced to exercise a more carful scru-
tiny of values In order to overcome
conditions OF this sort it falls upon
manufacturers to build greater value
into the merchandise people require and
to produce at lower selling costs in order
to enlarge the buying power of the

CAUSE OF ACCIDENTS
Refusal of Motorist to Keep Il
Right Held Responsible.

One of the outstanding causes of ac-
cidents is the refusal of slow moving
traffic to keep To the right. Not only
does this apply to the lesser highways
but on many Of the main thorough
fares this condition obtains
Experts declare that the police who
patrol highways in the various districts
S1aSld deal as vigorously with the road
nGns as with the Speedster. Those who
oeiay traffic by dilatory tactics often
defeat the purposes for which the
modern wide highway is constructed.
Although it is the aim at the present
time to have major thoroughfares built
from 40 to so feet wide. the engineers
feel that traffic volume must obey the
RUE that slow-moving vehicles keep to
the right to bring about the desired
results.
Many States have adopted regulations
which will curb the attempts OF road

thereby stem traffic at points where
time is lost to thousands of travellers.

pull this State out of the mud by
1880" has been the battle cry Of more
than one politician seeking election in
the past few years. And to their credit
many of these politicians when elected
have endeavored to surface roads 80
that by the next election q quantity
showing could be made. Happily this
method Is giving way before the realiza-
ton that the growing traffic Of this
country needs co-ordinated planning and
scientific engineering.
Now Is unquestionably the time to
build roads because of the cheapness OF
materials and the unemployment OF
common labor, but 1t behooves the
taxpayers to demand that money ex-
pended 60 for permanent roads. The
placing of gravel on an already exist
ing highway, with little thought OF
grading or Strengthening, later cover
ing it with a thin layer Of soft road
preparation and still later laying on
top of this q hard surface. does not
build highways as future generations
or trafic conditions will demand.

GREATEST PERIOD OF ROAD
BUILDING WITNESSED IN 1880
But Only Is Per Cent of Nation 3,O25,OOO
Miles of His hways Have Been
Improved.

Both of these legislative programs have
been classed as emergency legislation
in line with the administration pro-
gram, and the outlook is favorable for
passage during the present session.
Equally important, however, Presi-
dent Hoover has recommended to Con-
gress that fund of 100000, 900 be
made available to the States in the
form of loans to enable them to match
Federal aid appropriations. 1t is an
ticipated that this recommendation will
be approved by the Congress, and 1t
would further stimulate road building
in the ensuing year.
Finally. it may be said that the year
1880 was, from every standpoint a period
of great Accomplishment in meeting
the needs of highway transportation.
