PLANES TAKE
FOOD SUPPLIES
TO AID INDIANS

WINSLOW. Ariz., Jan. 10. (U.P)
-Arizonas first flying breadline
took off today for its second day
of reclaiming several thousand all
but literally vanishing Americans.
Loaded with 5000 pounds of emer-
gency rations, six big bombing
planes were cruising over three
Navajo reservations in Arizona and
New Mexico, inhabitants of which
have been cut off from any consid-
cradle source of food since Decem-
Der SHOWS.
Seldom finding landings possible
on the rolling, frozen plateus, riven
with deep canyons, the pilots were
flying low over the settlements
and dropping burlap wrapped pack
ages of food.
They were welcome.
They told how natives fell upon
the packages, tearing them open
and dancing for JOY at the sight
of such mamma from the skies as
flour, sugar. beans and canned
bully-bee
In one settlement, the package
landed in deep snowdrift and
was driven down several feet by
the force of its fall. Men, women
and children alike burrowed after
1t and ripped it open, paying scant
attention to the departing plane,
an apparition many OF the child
ren had never seen before.
In another, the friendly bomb
exploded on spur OF rock and
showered the ground with food.
Over his shoulder. the pilot saw
the natives scooping it up with
their hands and a child putting
what the pilot supposed to be sugar
into its mouth.

WASHINGTON, Jan. l8. OPP
Congress is about to be put to the
test in the drastic job of putting
q ruthless axe to the wild growth
of government expenses.
1t is beginning the work of
passing the annual appropriation
bills for operation OF the govern
ment. The first one, the agricul-
tural bill. was ready for consedera-
ton by the house today.
Congress turns to this work faced
by the most serious peace-time con-
dition of federal finances. At the
same time election year politics
threatens to weaken the good reso-
lutions with which members are
digging into their thankleSs task.
Two figures show the size of the
job. In the coming year the gov
ernment may have TO raise nearly
Sl0,000,000 900 TO cover running ex-
penses. deficits, the finance cor
poration, farm loan bonds, the
home building banks and other
measures. It can count on only
about $3,500,000,0 of this from
taxes. The remainder must be
borrowed. With some government
bonds now selling for about 80
cents on the dollar. the necessity
OF congress pulling in It's belt and
slashing expenses even at the cost
Of hurting some feelings is recog-
nized generally.

the amounts asked for this year

Association With Sage
Not One-Sided Honor

That's grand Shaw story. The one
relating to his trip to Russia. Stroll
ing along the banks of the Volga, he
encountered a beautiful girl playing
in the sand.
He stopped to chat with the child,
who Immediately took liking to the
bearded sage. They walked along the
river for a while, her hand in his,
Shaw, enjoying the trivialities of which
they talked. Finally the little one in
formed the Shavian body that it was
time for her to go home.
"Good-by, my DEAR" he said, "and
when mother asks you where you have
been. tell her you have been walking
along the yolga with George Bernard
Shaw"
The great name was absolutely un-
known to the child, but she recognized
the courtesy in the words of her
strange friend and was not to be out
done. Her pleasant smile and bow
acquired a quaint gravity. She re-
piled:

Memorial to American
Soldier at Verdun Ready

Paris.-The largest granite statue in
the world, to be dedicated to the Amer
lean soldiers at Verdun, France, is fin
ished in the quarry of Baveno, the
most noted in Italy.
The statue, representing Victory"
weighs 40 tons, and 100 expert stone
cutters have been at work on it for
three years. following the design of
the architect, John Russell Pope.
The quarries of Baveno were chos-
en- because of the fine quality of pink
granite found there. 1t was at Baveno
that some of the finest marbles and
granite were quarried for the great
Cathedral of Milan 400 years ago.
The monument will consist of COL
umn of granite rising to a height of
160 feet with diameter at the base of
25 feet. 1t will terminate in cupola
surmounted by the statue of victory in
red granite like the rest of the monu-
ment and measuring little more than
20 feet in height, which will make 1t
the largest known granite statue. The
entire weight of the granite used for
the monument amounts to 400 tons.

Fear and Distrust Cause OF
Wholesale Espionage.

Washington.-Although the United
States abolished its cryptical bureau
in Washington three years ago, doing
away with the practice of prying into
the secrets of foreign governments,
there is every reason to believe that
other countries are not so scrupulous
about the secrets of Uncle Sam and
that spies are swarming thicker than
ever through the capitals of the world.
The reason for the deluge of interna-
tional spying, it is said, is the prev
alent wave of fear and distrust. Ma
tions are afraid of war-afraid of be-
ing attacked-and are trying to be
forearmed by being forewarned.
The beautiful Matt Hari. executed
just outside the walls of Paris and
dramatized in American movies, has
her counterpart many times over at
this moment in this country, in Eu-
rope, and in the Far East.

Emergency Relief Act Pro-
vides Highway Funds.

Washington.-The emergency relief
by President Hoover insures some
measure of early unemployment relief
through road construction, declared I.
FL. Cutler. president of the American
Road Builders association. in discuss
ing road building activities.
"While the $136.0OO,OOO appropria-
ton for highways is only a small part
of the 50, 122OO0.OOO relief measure, it
is probable that road building will be
the first work undertaken" stated Mr..
Cutler. MANY states have plans
ready so that number of the projects
can be begun Immediately"
The highway funds provided in the
total of S136,00000O are: $12O0OO,000
for emergency construction on the fed
eral aid highway system; S5.0Q0,OO0
for national forest highways; $5,O00,-
600 for improvements of national for
ests; $3,000,000 for nationa. park
roads, and 100000 for roads through
public lands

In addition to the direct highway
appropriation. $300,0O0.O00 is made
available for relief and work relief,
including highway and street work.
This money will be loaned to states.
counties and cities by the RecoEstruc-
ton Finance corporation on request of
governors of states Since highway
and street work is popular and effec-
tive method of providing immediate
work relief, considerable part of
this money may be requested by mu-
inequalities and counties, Mr. Cutler
believes.
plQyment conditions can be made with
the funds available" declared Mr.. Cut
Ter, "but such relief will be widely
distributed throughout the country.
The provision permitting cities to use
the relief funds for street work and
the fact that the relief funds do not
have to be matched with local money
assures considerable municipal high
way work. Restrictions as to the
amount of federal participation per
mile also have been removed.
Employment benefits will not be con-
fined to the workers on the roads d.

Si snip, as well as the larger uuIuDeI
who possess no qualifications for it.
In fact, too often do citizens of all

Why is it that patriotism burns so
brightly in times of war, so dimIy in
times of peace? It is just as neces-
sary in meeting the complex obliga-
tons of peace, but these obligations

erage citizen feels that, somehow.
the problems Of peace will be solved
for him, and fails to realize the pos
sibility that calamity may result from
his own indifference.
Still Can Be Proud.
We have as much reason now as we
had fourteen years ago to feel proud
of our country and to love it. We be-
lieve, with some justice, that it is the
greatest republic in the history of the
world. Under no flag in the world
does people enjoy more freedom or
find greater happiness. We boast of
public education, universal suffrage,
liberty of speech and the press. We
enjoy rights undreamed of in ancient
Greece and Rome. Yet even with the
sounder principles upon which to base
the hope of permanence of our insti-
tutions, we too may some day go down,
as did these older republics, unless we
recognize and live up to our civic OBJ
legations. 1t cannot be too strongly
impressed upon every citizen in a
democracy that it is his duty to help
actively help-in the task of govern
ment.
The other day was talking to a sub
stantial business man from New York.
We were discussing an issue of in
creased taxation then up before the
house of representatives.
"By the way" | said, "who Is the
representative from your district?"
He grinned sheepishly.
81 don't know" he said.
My friend pays a goodly share of
taxes to support the government, and
yet he doesn't know who votes for him
on the tax question. He relies on "a
substitute" and doesn't even know who
the substitute is!
This is something Of retrogression
from an earlier period. When our
government was founded, our forefa-
theirs did not let unknowns represent
them. They made it their business to
know all about the character and
achievements of the men they elected
to public office. Then the outstand-
ing men in the country took part in

politics. and most of the high posi-
lions were held by them. Political
leaders, then, were chosen by the vot-
ers. Now. through the apathy of the
voters. they are often chosen by other
politicians.
Changing Social Life.
This change is partly due to our
changing social life. Many of us do
not even know our next-door neigh
bors. But it is manifestation of a
deeper and more sinister change-the
tendency of the average citizen to let
somebody else do his thinking for him.
That tendency threatens the very
foundations of democracy.
LET some one else do the thinking"
That easy doctrine is injuring us
not only in politics but in other fields.
Under it crime flourishes and business
languishes.
Some international bankers, since
the war. have been careless in lend
ing other peoples money on foreign
securities. Others have been charged
with something worse than careless
ness. But the citizens who, against
sound business principles, put up the
money were not without blame. In
their eagerness for gain, they too oft
en- refused to think for themselves.
They preferred to delegate that task
to some one else. 1t was well known
to all who read the newspapers that
certain governments had already de-
faulted on debts to their own people.
Greedy investors did not balk because
of that, but cheerfully put up billions
to loan to states, municipalities, and
industries of those same governments.
This is not an essay on economics.
l am not an economist. l did not fore
see the depression, nor do know when
it is going to end, though past expert
ence teaches me the upturn is bound TO
come. perhaps slowly, perhaps sudden
ly when we least expect it.
mo matter how sure you are of VIC
tory. never fail to make full provision
for a reverse"
This rule is automatic with every
capable military leader, but 1t was
ignored by most of our business lead
ers during the boom years. Few made
plans for anything except triumphant
advance from one objective to anoth-
er. Many burned their bridges behind
them. Then the advance was halted
and the recession began. 1t cannot be
said that they were to blame for that
recession, for apparently our puny hui
man minds have not yet solved the
riddle of the business cycle. They
were to blame for having made no
plans to keep the retreat from turn
ing into a rout Business might profit
