hasn't been born merely Of
conceit. It has come from some
thing much deeper than per-
Sonal vanity. You've felt that
you needed popularity; needed
it as you've needed food and
water and clean air.
For what's life worth if one
can't win affection and admira-
tion-if one hasn't some power
over other lives?
Yet, how to get it?
How do other people get it?
You wonder bitterly. What
mysterious charm have they, in
themselves, which you lack?
What trick of gesture? What
cline" of talk? And where can
you learn the same tricks, the
same line?
Can't Use Magic
You can't learn them any,
where, and they wouldn't do
you any good if you could. For
popularity isn't based on a set
Of tricks, nor. do we charm
others by a slick Zine"
Why are some people popu-
lar? You can answer that for
yourself. Stop and think. Why
do YOU like certain people?
Why do YOU seek such people
out, yet remain indifferent to
others who seem equally
worthy?
Is it because those popular
people have something IN them
selves which you admire?
OR IS 1T BECAUSE THEY
GIVE SOMETHING TO YOU
WHICH YOU DESIRE?
It's because they give you
something, isn't it? Because
they do something to you; pro-
vide you with something you
need; fulfill some secret dream.
POPULAR PEOPLE MAKE
YOU FEEL AT EASE.
That's a wonderful sensation.
You need, terribly, to feel at
ease. For you're always a bit
oewildered. and afraid of show
ing it. But some people make
you forget your self-conscious-

ness. They're strong and quiet
in themselves. If they have
personal problems, they don't
show them. They are comfort
able and easy. Their eaSineSS
quiets your own edginess. Soon
you're talking without effort,
enjoying yourself, acting at your
best.
POPULAR PEOPLE ANUSE
AND EXCITE YOU.
You need that, too. Life has
become a dreary and discour-
aging affair. You're sick of
your monotonouS job. You
want to get out Of your rut,
but you haven't the money to
go away, either.
Fun in the Commonplace
But they know how to find
fun and drama in the COM
mon scene around them, and
they pass it on to you. Life
sparkles when you're with them.
You see things differently. Your
imagination comes awake. You
have new curiosity, new desire
to live. You feel warmed and
stimulated.
AND POPULAR PEOPLE
MAKE YOU BELIEVE IN
YOURSELF.
You need that most of all.
You've lost confidence. So
many people have criticized
you, doubted your ability. But
here's someone who doesn't.
Here's someone who treats you
as if you we're wonderful.
Once you, too, believed that
you were wonderful. And when
you believed that, you could do
almost anything. Now that old,
fighting faith comes back.
You're grateful! You're so
grateful you'd do anything for
that kindly, believing soul who
has restored your faith in your
self.
Why are people popular?
That's why.
Not a Bit of It!
Not because they are some
thing in themselves. Not be-
cause they are pretty, or hand
some, or smart, or sassy, or sue
cesSful, or wear lovely clothes,
or have gone to romantic
places.
These things don't make peo-
pie popular. These things
wouldn't make you popular,
even if you could achieve them
all.
PEOPLE ARE POPULAR,
NOT FOR WHAT THEY HAVE
IN THEMSELVES, BUT FOR
WHAT THEY GIVE TO THE

The Requests Will
Not. Be Granted

If President Hoover will
not recommend either the
extension or the creation Of
another body to study "ca-
pacity to pay" there seems
an end to the notes. The
President has insisted, for
the record at any rate, that
he is opposed to the "cancel-
lation" or transfer of the
debts; but the implication
of the press reports from
Washington correspondents
is that he is not adverse to
the creation of another body
to consider further reduc-
tions based on capacity to
pay"
However, it is added, he
will not recommend any
thing of the sort. unless
President-elect Roose.v e 1t
agrees to something of the
kind, and it is inconceivable
that he will adopt and an
nounce a policy on matters
of such Importance without
more information than he
can possibly possess at this
moment regarding the whole
course of negotiations and
without consultation with
his advisers and party lead
ers. ..
Thus it is but fair that
the debtor. nations should
understand without delay
that the requests carried in

This explains such a lot OF
things. Such as why no aver
age man is ever strong enough
to pick up his Sunday news
papers, hang up his wet bath
towels or find anything on the
top shelf.
It explains why hanging a
picture, laying a rug, opening a
packing case or any irksome DO
mestic task just fags him all
out-and why all the annoying
petty details around the office
must be lifted from his Shoul-
ders, by some woman. Why his
appointments must be remem-
bered, his files kept, his tele-
phone answered and his al1blS
put over by some willing mem
ber of the stronger SEX"

TN less than a, week after
l. the submission Of the
British and French notes on
the debts, President Hoover
has been forced to the con-
clusion that it will be futile
to recommend to Congress
the extension of the mora
torium, or a further reduc-
tion or revision of the
debts. A canvass of the
members of Congress, who
alone are. in position to act
favorably on the notes, has
disclosed an almost unani-
nous, if not a unanimous,
opposition. Senator Fess
implies that the submission
Of the notes immediately
after the election has been
harmful, and this is not i'm
probable, and certainly is
not unnatural.
The natural Interpretation
of the timing is that those
favoring the extension and
the reduction, or "cancella-
tion,' thought, by this plan,
to put anything that might
be agreed upon among the
rulers beyond the protest of
the people. This country is
overrun today with gentle
men in high hats who agree
among themselves that
democracy is really a very
vicious system; that the
people are really abys-
mally ignorant; and that it
is most unfortunate that
they must be consulted at
all on matters that affect
them. .
Others find from a review
of the past that the people,
while seldom able to split
hairs and express themselves
in technical language, have
always shown, when given
an opportunity to think a
matter over, a saving COM
mon sense not always mani
fest in. the more important

Our Capacity
To Pay"
Some one has to pay-that
is flat. ,~...
If the debtors do not pay,
the taxpayers of America
will have to pay the debts
of the debtors.
And strangely enough,
in. all the discussions of
capacity to pay" no one
appears to include the
capacity of the American
people to pay.
Our capacity to pay"
under existing conditions is
far below that of France
for example.
One Of the purposes oI
the Congress in the coming
session will be to find ways
to balance the budget, to
rid ourselves of the deficit
which is piling up despite
the extraordinary heavy
taxes that have been levied
upon the American people.

The Farmers


Argument
But we believe it is con-
sidered bad taste and a sign
of intellectual vulgarity to
apply the rules laid dowrl
by the cancellationists both
ways. Unhappily the Gun
trained minds I" of the peo-
pie are apt to insist upon
it.
And that brings us to a
point that the small group
of economists who issued
their argument for the trans
fer of the debts to the
American taxpayers raised
in their statement. They
reasoned at some length that
since more goods are now
required to get the money
necessary to meet the debts
there should be a drastic
reduction in the amount
asked.
But that is precisely what
the farmers of America are
saying in regard to the
debts they owe the banks
and the Federal Land Banks.
Many, indeed most, of their
debts were contracted at
a time when they were get
ting good prices for their
products. Now it requires
many times the products to
get the money to repay their
debts.
; And SO they are asking
for a reduction in theiT
debts.
The small group of econG"
mists who issued theN
statement on the same DAT
the English and French
notes were published made
precisely the same argu-
ment for the debtor nar1ors
that the farmers are now
making for themselves.
There is a moratorium anG,
debt-reducing movement in
America today in relation to
the debts of the American
people, and particularly the
farmers.
Nothing could do more to
stimulate this movement
than the adoption of their
argument in behalf of the
foreign debtors.
