LISTEN, WORLD!
BY Elsie Robinson.

I don't know whether they
ever give judges medals for
acts of conspicuous valor per-
formed behind the bar, but if
they do, I vote that one of the
biggest, shiniest ones goes to
Judge Frank H. Dunno, of San
Francisco.
Gentlemen have braved fire,
flood, and pestilence faced
wolves, rattlers and man-eating
tigers-but for sheer, reckless
courage, Judge Dunno has 'em
all skinned.
HE DARED TO TEAR A
CHILD-TWO OF THEM. IN
FACT-FROM A WEEPING
MOTH HE RS ARMS, AND
PLACE THEM IN THE GUS
TODY OF THEIR FATHER.
And if you don't think that
takes nerve, then you don't
know ladies with votes.
An Unfit Mother
Here's the story. Three years
ago, Judge Dunno divorced the
mother and father in question.
At that time, he made a thor
ough investigation and became
convinced that the lady was an
unfit mother and only permit
ted to obtain the divorce to
avoid scandal. He had hoped
that the chance might come to
give the two little girls involved
a better break.
It came, The. mother sued
the father for delinquent ali
mony. The father replied by
asking the court to set side the
motion and grant him the Gus
tody Of the two children.
Now. it is a well-knoWn fact
that a father asking this Of any
American court has about as
much chance as the proverbial
SNOWFALL. Cause why? Because
American citizens are Soggy
with sentiment and American
ladies are Snooty with votes.
Any judge who offends Amer
ican womanhood - particularly
when American womanhood
happens to be q mama-practi-
cally commits official suicide.

} against Wall Street, but I
once heard him say: when

talk with the fellows at the
tip Of the island and in the
clubs frequented by the finan-
ciers, and when find what
they are saying, I know that
the very opposite is what the
country is thinking"
It is easy for European
statesmen and publicists to get
the Interpretation of America
from the tip of the island of
Manhattan. They meet men
from this quarter in the Euro
pean capitals.
Thus do they blunder in
their Interpretation of America.

They can be, and, unless emo

why summon the female militia

I am a mother myself, it seems
to me as Silly-and as Subver-

} Borah is the last man in the
world to interpret Wall Street
to the foreigner.
BY getting the interpreta.
tions of both, M. Laval is the
gamer. It is the only way to
discover America.
The real achievements OF
the conference are those in
which the big bankers are
particularly interested - h e
maintenance Of the gold
standard, the preservation Of
the Young Plan, and proba-
bly, the promise of the Admin
istration further to scale down
the debts.
The security pact was drop
ped because utterly impossible
of realization, and our own
policies are rapidly paving the
way toward the cancellation
of the debts.
Making 1t Impossible
For Debtors to Pay
We are paving the way to
that. because we are making
it impossible for our debtors
to make the money with which
to pay. We are making it i'm
possible through a prohibitive
tariff wall which makes it all
but impossible for them to
trade with us. Senator Cordell
Hull has an interesting observa-
ton on that phase:
"The debtor nations cannot
pay their war debts If we ex-
clude their trade by high tariff
walls. A continuation of this
policy means just that. These
preliminarieS are leading in that
direction.
"In 1920, when I suggested
such an outcome If the tariff
rates were raised, Representa-
tive LOngwOrth, speaking for
the Republican party, said the
Republican would cancel the
debts rather than surrender
their policy"
That is probably the reason
these confereeS in Washington,
seeking a solution of the differ.
enceS between the two countries,
did not mention the tariff,
which is one of the outstanding
differences that is operating to
the disadvantage of both ma
tionS.
It is passing strange, other
wise, that the tariff contro-
versy was not on the program
for consideration. The only
notable demonstrations against
America in France were in.
Spired by resentment against
our prohibitive tariff wall.
The American press carried
the story Of the great parade
Of protest. in the streets of
Lyons. We all know that, as
a result, the French govern
ment has retaliated and struck
products Of our factories and
fields from French markets.
We all know that on the desk
Of Secretary Stimson is the
French protest.
Here there certainly is a
difference between the nations,
and it seems a pity that this
was not discussed .'y.> :

in language so vague IN places
as to suggest Talleyrand's idea
that language is given us that

The outstanding achieve
ment, on which there can be
no doubt, is an agreement to
maintain the gold standard

more than probable that the
Premier carries back to Paris
the understanding that Presi-

the reasons for the confusion
