And now, ELSIE ROBINSON
here's the New Year again!
The Chinese have a custom.
With each New Year they pay
all old accounts, not just as a
matter of form, but as a sacred
obligation; a spiritual balanc-
ing Of the record. And so to-
day, before the New Year
dawns, I'm going to try to
balance my account with you.
Fifteen years of coming to
you-and you've never known
how I came, or what you did
for me!
I've come to you when I was
in grief. Such desperate grief
that everything in life had lost
its meaning. Everything gone
blotto. But the job had to be
done
And so I've come, stumbling
through the blackness, fumbling
through the bitterness, trying
to put words together.
And suddenly, there it was
your hand. Your hand to hold
to. When everything else was
gone-swallowed in a grave,
blotted out by a night-there
was your hand.
Just a common hand, per-
haps. CallouSed by a hoe, or
roughened by darning needle
and dish water, like my own.
Holding NE steady! When
everything else had failed.
My dear-how can I thank
you!

I came to you in fear. many
a time. You didn't know q
1 talk so big! I pretend I'm
never afraid. But I came TO
you when I'd gone yellow, clear
through; when life had ME
licked, and 1 was flat on my
face, taking the count.
And there you were again,
bucking me up, telling me to
go on-writing me hasty
scrawl to thank me for my
courage" Thanking me "a
coward! Leaning on me-a
gutter!
All, you never knew. And
I'll never be able to tell you.
I've come to you mad. SO
dam mad at some injustice
that I wanted to wallop the
whole world. So mad I wasn't
pretty or polite-or maybe
even fair. Murder-that's what
I wanted, and nothing else butt
You've been mad with me!
Backed up every brickoat!
Helped me cuss 'em out!
Cheered me on.
And I've come to you in the
hardest hour of all-when I
was empty; too spent, to beaten
to feel even fear any more, or
grief, or anger, or shame.
Empty!
And how you've filled me!
Filled me with new eagerness,
new curiosity, new pride and
joy and strength and tender
ness-just because you were
there, somehow, at the other
end of the line. Even the
thought of you, battling on as
I was battling on-bewildered
as I was bewildered yet, some
how, "smilin' through-that was
enough. That started me
again.
Sad and mad, shamed and
afraid and empty-I've come
to you in every mood, and
never once have you failed me.
Never a day that dozens of
your letters haven't lain on my
desk to thank me, and comfort
me, and give me reason to live.
Now Is years have gone and
I've never thanked you. But
how can I? How can I make
you see?
I can't. There are no words.
Tell you of my gratitude? But
that's such a small word!
Fifteen years of working to-
gether, living together like that;
weeping together over our
graves; fighting together: fac
ing shame and fear together
that means something more
than gratitude. Only three
words can even begin tt tell
you what those years have
meant-what you mean to me

to appear in prominent places
where it becomes necessary for
them to speak before an audi
ence.
Young folk may be pardoned,
for they must subject them
selves to the ordeal to become
accustomed to it, and most of
them learn public speaking in
school.
But the older people, without
experience in public speaking,
are nervous and should refrain
from appearing in the unfavor-
able light they put themselves.
Lack of suitable education
and indecision often are re-
sponsible for poor speakers in
public gatherings.

If Sam insult had been a
peddler on the street and
had stolen a milk bottle and
everyone had known it, he
would not have been given
time to make his escape to
foreign lands. If he had
been a politician, everyone
would have said that his es-
cape was not without the
connivance of authority. But
being one of our " financial
pillars" and one of our
"best minds,'f he left the
country without any diff
Guilty. He made his escape
to Greece, with which we
have no extradition treaty.
There he has become a hero.
His first embarrassment
on reaching Athens was that
in his hurried flight from
London or Paris he neglected
to take his dress suit. Over
whelmed with invitations to
dinner where he might be
w;ned and dined and gen.
e.ally feted, he could not ac-
cept until he got his suit.
In the court in Athens one
would imagine from what
was said that he is a good
man cruelty prosecuted by
wicked American politicians.
So much was said. He there
was "a great man." There
he was a "genius. Had
he not been secretary to
Mr.. Edison? And so

the event with a testimonial

France Could
Have Paid

Apropos of the debts, Sec
rotary Stimson has taken
precisely the right position
regarding the French de-
fault. There is no doubt
but that the French have
concluded that Herriot was
right in saying that France
would not and could not
gain by failure to honor its
signature. There are some
nations among the debtors
that could not meet their
obligation; just as there are
honorable men among pri-
vate debtors who cannot
meet their obligations. Some
of these-Poland, for exam
ple-in passing their pay
ment made no complaint
about any injustice on our
part. Poland admits the
debts and the obligation;
she says she cannot pay
now; but she declares that
she will pay in the future.
Assuming she is right in
saying she is unable to pay
now, no serious fault can be
found with her.
It is different in the case
of France. Since refusing to
honor her signature with us
she has been able to make a
loan to Austria. This was
opposed in the House of
Deputies by one statesman on
the ground that France, hav-
ing just refused to make her
payment to us, is put in a
peculiarly unenvlable posi-
ton in making a loan to
Austria Immediately after
wards. The truth is, of
course, that France easily
could have paid.
That she now wants to do,
if the press has correctly in
formed us. But she now
wis he's some preliminary
agreement with us regarding
future payments as a cOndi-
ton for making the payment
overdue. Secretary Stimson
has announced that this can
not be discussed until
France has made her pay
ment. This is the position
taken in these columns from
the beginning-that "until
France meets her obligation
we have nothing to nego-
tiate.''

Sam insult Has
Become a Hero

Just now, when so many
millions are skeptical con-
corning equal justice for all
people and classes, the scene
and event in Athens this
week will only accentuate
the growing bitterness. Sam
insult has become a hero.
The story of his financial
operations, and the way he
used his power, is the story
of crime in the opinion Of the
authorities here. Vast num-
bers of people have been
ruined because of his "high

THE fact that Mr.. Roose-
L welt has conferred with
Norman Davis regarding the
latter's experiences and OBJ
servations in Europe, while
serving on the disarmament
commission, has been ridicu-
lousy interpreted by a por-
ton Of the press. This por-
ton has implied that since
the incoming President has
received information and
exchanged views with an ap-
pointee of Mr.. Hoover, who
is a prominent Democrat, he
might as we'll have accepted
Mr.. Hoover's policy in re-
gard to the debts. There is
no necessary relation be-
tween the debts and arma-
ment as far as we are con-
cerned.
1t is quite possible for Mr..
Roosevelt to agree with Mr..
Hoover that the peace and
economic security Of the
world demands a drastic cut
in expenditures for purposes
of war, and disagree on the
transfer of the debts. And
more: Mr.. Roosevelt has
made it clear enough that
he will be pleased to receive
all information Mr.. Hoover
or his representatives may
possess regarding the atti-
tude of Europe toward the
debts.

Colonel House Has
Hit the Nail

1t is generall., agreed
among those not stone blind
that this sort of thing must
stop. It is commonly agreed
that the preservation of our
American institutions and
of our capitalistic system
calls for some drastic re-
forms and a reconsideration
of our theories. Everyone
Of intelligence comedies the
necessity, and no one is will
ing to act.
Colonel House has prob
ably hit the nail on the head
in his explanation of the in
disposition to do the neces-
sary thing. He has just
written:
with the discomfort Of
today, anything might hap
pen, provided a leader was
at hand and ready to push
his fortunes to the limit.
The surest way to bring
about revolution is to 60
to the extreme of reaction. "
Vast numbers expect some
radical change in our form
of vernmen t. Colonel
House explains the thought
of the reactionaries when he
says:
There is to be found
considerable sentiment fav-
orable to a Mussolini sort Of.
dictatorship in conservative
circles in America"
That we all know is true.
Not so many realize what
Colonel House realizes:
However, he (the die
tator) is more likely to be
the type of Lenin.
And that is something for
the conservatives to think
about.
For when thirty million
farmers are utterly ruined,
when hundreds Of thou
sands of miners are ruined,
when eleven million jobless
men with their dependents,
making at least thirty to
forty millions, are in dis
tress and driven to despera-
ton, it will not he so easy
to set up a capitalistic die
tatorship to preserve the
old Sy S m when mas
brought a staggering calam-
ity on mankind through lie
greed and shortsightedness.
If we are to justify our
institutions and our system
to the great mass of the
people who become very i'm
polite and ungentIemanly
and even dangerous when
prodded too long with the
prong of human misery, our
leaders, if we have any,
must reconcile themselves to
some radical reforms in tbs
interest of human rights.
