All gone.
God, take me, tool" I prayed
in agony. MY work is ever.
I'm not needed now. Then let
me go, God! Do not hurt me
SOL"
I prayed that way. Why did
God stay so dumb? Why could
I not die quickly, as I longed to
die?
And then-so slowly-back
Gods answer came.
That bright young face that
seemed to me my boy?
THAT WAS MY BOY!
Like My Boys
Those fumbling hands; that
sensitive wide mouth; even the
note that rang within that
laugh; even the way those swift,
young feet we're set
They seemed so like my boys!
THEY WE'RE MY BOYS!
FOR EACH BOY IS A PART
OF EVERY BOY
AND MOTHERING CAN BE
AS WIDE AS LIFE!
My sons frail body had been
laid away. But still his cour-
age lived-in other lads. And
still his laughter rang-in other
throats. And still his need
went on-in other hearts.
A youngsters need of under
standing love. That called to
me from out of a thousand
lives. I was not robbed. I was
not shut outside.
I STILL HAD SOME-IF I
WOULD TAKE THEM IN!
I WAS A MOTHER STILL
IF WOULD CHOOSE TO BE!
And so my prayers were an
swered, not by cowardly escape,
but by the gentle miracle of
love.
I had cried out for my son.
Then, here he was!
Each face that flashed before
me was his face!
Each hand that reached out
toward me was his hand!
I was not bankrupt.
EVERY CHILD WAS MINE!

When the Bonds
Were for Sale

When Morgan & Company,
in behalf Of the French
government, offered French
bonds to American investors
in the autumn Of 1920, a
statement was issued to con-
vince the prospective pur-
chaser that France would be
amply able to pay. 1t sets
forth the fact that within 26
months after the close of the
war of 1870, France had been
able to pay an indemnity OF
about a billion.
1t made much of the fact
that the restoration of AL
sace-Lorraine would increase
enormously Frances ca
pacity to pay. Thus:
Lorraine alone normally
has an annual production of
100000 tons of iron ore.
The output of the metallurgi-
cal industries of this prov
ince comprises more than
100000 tons of pig iron,
100000 tons of steel and
iron products, and 1,240, 900
tons of rolled metal. The
potash deposits of Alsace are
an important source Of
wealth. So also are the tex
tile industries of the two
provinces. The cotton spin
ming mills of Alsace possess
nearly 1000, 900 spindles and
$4,000 looms. In addition,
there are more than $4,000
wool spindles.
And more is added:
French colonial posses"
sions are in extent and value
of their resources ranked
second only to the Colonial
Empire of Great Britain.

France Refused
To Fund Her Debt

And so. with that agree
ment made, the American
people took 154 per cent on
it's loan; but the bankers
loan continued to pay 8 per
cent. That, of course, was
not reduced at all.
France also sold bonds to
her own people, and these
carried an interest of Sc and
Z per cent. There was no re-
duction in interest on these
bonds. But we reduced to
1.64 per cent, and shifted
the loss to American tax
payers.
But even that did not
please the House of Depu-
ties. France refused to fund
her debt. Not until 13 other
nations had acted did she
agree to fund. And not even
then until the American Gov
ernment took a stand against
further loans from bankers
here to nations thus refusing.
Then the settlement was
made; an enormous burden
was assumed by the tax
payers here; and the depu-
ties roundly denounced us as
shylocks, abused us roundIv,
and ratified the agreement
by a bare majority.
Really wasn't it a bit re-
markable?

Be a Companion
AS parent you wonder why
your grown-up children do not
care to accompany you to
places of amusement or on
jauntS to interesting places.
Other parents with their
children seem to be having a
good time.
Isn't it possible that you have
forgotten that your children
are old enough to have indi-
viduality and want to follow
their own preferences?
They want to be themselves
and you are restraining them.
You complain about their
actions, their words and their

France Can
Pay

o.
Mr.. SHOEMAKER comments
that the advocates Of the
transfer of the debts to us
always refer to the total
amount of the debts, spread
over more than 60 years, and
not to the annual payment,
evidently to make the diff
Guilty Of payment seem i'm
possible. Thus, we are told
that total Indebtedness of
France under the settlement
would be $4,025, 100000 -
and that seems staggering.
But when the amount due
this year is mentioned-$50.-
OOO,OOO-it is not so appal-
ling.
Now the annual income of
the French nation is esti-
mated at $7,OOO,O 100000. This
year she is asked to pay $780,
100000 on the debt. The
author of the book illustrates
the meaning thus:
IF an American with an
income of ST, 400 a year car
ried life insurance that cost
him $40 a year, he would
shoulder the same intolerable
burden which France has in
meeting her payment of
$5o,o00,O00."
Not so appalling, is it?

Delilah, and the rest all down

The primary principle of the

man keep his money long
enough to get attached to it.
1t takes the average woman
from six months to six years,
to get her husband going along
smoothly on the single-track Of
marriage-and another woman
from six minutes to six weeks
to de-rail him.
A woman may lose all her
illusions about a man, and still
go right on loving him; but
when he starts wrecking her
illusions about HERSELF, her
love turns to vinegar.
Most little girls lose their
romantic ideals and their illu-

lose their belief in Santa Claus.

THE belligerent attitude
Il of the House of Depu-
ties in reference to debt
payments from France is
not entirely new in our ex-
perience. Some Of the dis
cussions have been enlight-
ening and others interest
ing. Thus NJ. Marin has
just made a vigorous at
tack upon the United States
to resounding cheers. This
is not will out precedent
since the war either. Max
ing attacks upon the United
States has come to be the
favorite indoor and outdoor
sport in France. We never
may be forgiven for hav7s
ing saved France at the
darkest hour of her exist
ence with our men and
money.
And yet NJ. Marin had
some wheat in his chaff.
Thus he said:
II am in no way opposed
to economic negotiations
with the United States, but
they must be reciprocal, and
America must begin by
lowering e the prohibitive
tariffs which she has i'm
posed upon foreign prod
ucts.
Of course this implies
that France is willing,
under such circumstances, to
lower her prohibitive tariffs
against our products; she
merely asks that we take
the initiative. And why not?
We took the initiative in
launching the ira de war
which has wrought such
ruin throughout the world.
The Washington times., 1932-12-03

France has become poten-
TALLY one of the leading iron
and steel producing nations
of the world"
Thus when bonds were for
sale in 1920, France ad-
vertised her extraordinary
strength.
No Profit in
It for Us
1t was six years later that
we agreed to a settlement of
the war debts, and some
figures are enlightening in
showing our generosity in
the concessions we made to
France.
To get the money to loan
to the debtor nations we sold
Liberty Bonds to the Ameri-
can people carrying interest
of AZ per cent.
To protect the American
taxpayer it was agreed by
the debtor nations that they,
too, should pay interest at
AZ per cent.
There was no profit in it
for us.
At the time of the settle
ment France owed $4,025,-
100000.
And in the agreement
made we reduced the in
terest France would pay
from the AZ per cent to 1.64
per cent. Thus we reduced
the interest rate the debtor
would pay PSI per cent.
That, however, did not re-
duce the interest we have to
pay on the bonds we sold to
get the money to loan. It
remained and the Ameri-
can taxpayer took up that
burden, certainly not con-
templated at the time the
loan was made.

states Tuesday had signified the prob

$3oo,oc0,000 provided by congress for
direct relief of unemployment.

cate the amounts needed gave a total

The fund is to be distributed in the
form of loans to states which will
distribute the money among their re-

Immediately after the bill becomes
law the corporation is expected to
formulate regulations under which
applications are to be made by the
governors of the states
Is Per Cent Limit
The bill provides that not more
than Is per cent of the $1,000 1000
may be allotted to any one state.
The states definitely intending to
make restitution loans and the
amounts they probably will ask, fol-
low:
Idaho. S1,500,OO0; Illinois, s45 .0O0.-

100000; Utah, 100000; West Vir-
ginia, 100000.
In addition to the "destitution"
loans most Of the states will ask large
sums for public works.
A few states probably cannot take
advantage of the law. F1orida's con-
stitution forbids any bond issues or
borrowing. Nebraska operates on a
pay as you go'' plan and has no bond
issue and no loan will be asked.
