CHARLESTON, w. Va, Feb. 6
U.SO.-Democratic prospects for
victory in 1882 rest largely upon
the record of the House under
the leadership of Speaker Gar
ner. Chairman Jouett Shouse of
the Democratic executive COM
mittee, declared last night in a
speech discussing the party out
look.
Touching upon all the issues,
Shouse took a fling at Japan for
aggressions in China, saying that
the rest of the world may be
forced to take extreme meas
ures before the dogs of war
which that country apparently is
intent upon loosing can be got
under control" He added:
"There may be no alternative
except to teach the japanese
race a lesson which apparently
it richly deserves"
Shouse called for positive plat
form declarations on all issues,
including the resubmission of the
Eighteenth Amendment with an
alternative prohibition plan to
the States.
Tribute to Leadership
In a tribute to the leadership
of Speaker Garner, Shouse said:
"TwO months ago one of the
most skilled and accomplished
legislators who has ever served
in the Congress was made
Speaker of the House. From
the day he assumed the duties

ALBANY, N. Y, Feb. 6 G.N.SO
AS a candidate for the Demo

Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt favors
repeal of the Eighteenth Amend

amendment giving States the
right to decide whether liquor
shall be sold within their borders.
Questioned regarding a state

Of Boston that he favored a
referendum on prohibition, Roose-
velt said:

In this letter Roosevelt said he
shared the opinion of the Amer

Amendment has "fostered exces-
sive drinking of strong intoxi-
cants, that it has lied to corrup-
tion and hypocrisy, that it has
brought about disregard for law

$4,000, 100000 through

through a great public works

a vast army of the jobless

THE American advocates
Il of the plan for the trans
fer of the debts of the IA
European nations that owe
us from the debtors to the
taxpayers of America are
much wrought up over the
indisposition of Americans
to fall into the trap so care
fully prepared at Lausanne.
One distinguished American
writes the New York Times
from London to say that it
is perfectly absurd to con-
tend that if the debtor ma
tions do not pay the debts
the taxpayers of the credi-
tor nation must.
That is an amazing state
ment.
America did not get the
money loaned to these ma
tions after the war out of
the air. This money came
from the pockets of Amer
leans who got the bonds Of
this country in return. These
bonds are a promise to pay.
Every bond must, and will,
be redeemed. And if the
debtor nations who got and
used the money do not pay
what they owe, the Ameri-
can Government will have to
tax Americans to get the
money to redeem the bonds.
1t is most absurd to say
that the "forgiving" Of the
postwar debts Of these ma
tions will not mean an in
crease to that extent in the
taxing of the American peo-
pie.
And, struggling as we are
against collapse, where do
we get the "capacity to
pay?

Wild Beauty

It does not make any diff
ference how poor you are, you
can love beauty.
1t may be the loWly butter
cup or the daisies of the field,
each has a charm which it
costs you nothing to enjoy.
Many of the flowers that
grow wild are as wonderful in
their beauty as those which
cost much as cultivated flora.
Teach your children to ap-
preciate the lovely wild flowers.
These wild flowers may be
compared to the children who
do not have to be told" in or
der to get them to do right.
Your children have been
taught what "eye service" is.
They know that great men
and noble women are not the
kind who do good deeds just
because they are watched all
the time.
Heroes and heroines do the
brave and courageous thing at
the time such service is needed
without being asked or told to
do it.
That is what makes them
worthy Of note.
They see and do instantly
the right thing to do.
The Washington times., 1932-07-21
Another American
Champion

Another American cham
plon Of the transfer Of the
debts to American taxpay-
ers says that the debtor ma
tions got $9,0O0,OOO,OOO from
America in loans. He says
So, 100000, has been paid.
That means that Sc, 5O0,OOO,-
600 that was borrowed by
the United States to make
the loans to Europe is un-
paid.
But he says it is not pro-
posed to cancel this $6,5OO,-
100000, but merely to ar
range a friendly settlement
say a lump sum of $1,000
100000 in satisfaction of the
whole!
This would leave $780,
100000 wiped out as far as
repayment by the debtors
that got and used the money
is concerned.
And the $5,5OO,OOO,OO was
borrowed by our Govern
ment and must be paid by us
to the people who loaned us
the money. If tPe nations
that got and used it will not
pay it back, there is just one
way for our Government to
meet its obligation if it does
not wish to follow the fash
ion and repudiate the debt
and that is to add $780,
100000 to the taxes of Ameri-
cans to get the money.
1t is sheer dishonesty to
attempt to persuade the
American people that the
plan of the debtor nations
does not mean an enormous
increase in the taxation of
Americans.

WISE WORDS

He who swins in sin will
sink in sorrow.
You know If it be cracked
by the sound of the bell.
He who swells in prosperity
will shrink in adversely.
A wise man thinks all he
says, a fool says all he thinks.
Keep your temper. no one
else wants it.
When both sides find fault
you have probably meted out
justice.
If we are bound to forgive
an enemy, we are not bound
to trust him.
Even fool is wise after the
event.
Poor-without-debt is a softer
pillow than that of any prince.
The good man alone is free
and all bad mep are slaves.

A Satisfactory Friend

There are certain dispositions
appearing particularly docile
and even agreeable when in
tete-a-tete conversation.
It takes a third party for
that sort to have the courage
to show off disagreeably.
One may be late in keeping
an appointment with this per-
son but not a word will be said
about annoyance caused by your
hardness unless a third person
be near.
But just let the third person
be within hearing distance and
a shot something like Il can't
be wasting my time waiting for
you" is distinctly audible.
What sort of cowardice is
this?
Or is it a form Of courage or
bravery that permits a person
to vent his or her spleen when
a third person can hear the re-
marks.
1t seems like a pretty small
personality to take advantage Of
numbers in order to dare to
speak its mind.
There are all sorts Of queer
Streaks in men and women Of
modern times without going

A Story For
The Marines

We can raise this s., 300
100000 by increasing the
taxes Of our own people
without running America,
but fourteen nations cannot
raise it without destroying
Europe. 1t is a story for
the marines.
Europe is more heavily
armed today than it was be-
fore the World War. Eu-
ropes budgets are more top
heavy with war costs today
than they were then. Bill
lions are spent for war pur-
poses in the midst of peace
by the debtor nations-and
that is not running Europe.
These budgets show from
fifty to eighty per cent of
the expenses of the debtor
nations are for war-and
that is not running Europe.
But the payments on the
debts to the United States
take from one and a half to
three per cent of the
budgets-and that is running
Europe.
What buncombe! What
hypocrisy! What trickery!
To meet their obligations
these fourteen nations do
not have to increase the
taxes on their people; they
only need to shift the items
in their budgets-to take
from one and a half to three
per cent off their war costs
and apply it to the nayment
of the debts. Would that
ruin Europe?
The Washington times., 1932-07-21
An Unbearab1e
Burden On Our People

1t is not an easy thing,
even with the most praC-
ticed sophistry, to argue the
American people into the
conviction that they owe the
debts of Europe. Mr.. Hearst
has said that if we take over
the debts Of these IA nations
it would be an unbearable
burden on our people.
WhereupOn one of the
American champions of the
European point of view
scouts the idea as some
thing "no rational person
can believe" " And he figures
it out that if we pay the
debts of these IA nations it
will only cost each American
$3.50 a year.
Well, if it is as easy as
all that for us, how is it
going to ruin Europe to pay
so little?
And if we loaned the
money and the others bor-
rowed it and used it for
their own benefit why
should we pay even a cent
a year?
And if it is to cost us so
little to- pay the $5,5OO,OOO,-
OOOs given as the amount,
why did these same expo
nents of the European point
of view think it was going
to ruin America to spend
half billion less to put to
work the millions of Amer
cans who are in distresS9
It's the old story of the
goose and the gander.
But we are invited to put
aside our point of view
which is the point of view
in private business-and to
accept the debtor nations
point Of view. Try that on
your private creditor. Try
it on the international bank
ers from whom you have
borrowed money. But make
sure before you make the
suggestion that there is
quick passage to the door.

ones egotism to have satellite
who will always echo his mas
ter's voice. But when the pinch
comes, we want people who
{ have voices of their own; who
can create new ideas to meet

So out go the amiable but
meaningless Rubber Stamps,
and the disagreeable but COM
petent Self Starters are given

THE MAN WHO MEANS
SOMETHING IN HIMSELF IS
THE MAN WHO GETS THE
JOB AND HOLDS 1T. SOONER
OR LATER. THE PLEASING
PARASITE GETS THE CAN.
And every human being can
mean something in himself
something unique and valuable
which the world needs. There
is no such thing as a COM
mon" man unless he makes
himself common by his own
laZineSs and cowardice.
We are all born UNCOM-
MON.
Each one of us is made on a
different pattern.
Each one of us has a special
power.
Simplicity and Virtue
1t may not be a spectacular
power. It may merely be the
knack for doing some simple
thing well. But the simplest
act has peculiar virtue and
power if it is the product of
our own initiative and imagi-
nation; and, on the other hand,
the most elaborate act is
meaningless if it lacks origi-
nality.
so THE WORLD WANTS
THE PERSON WHO MEANS
5OMETHING IN HIMSELF,
AND WHO HAS THE COUR-
AGE TO EXPRESS THAT
SOMETHING AND NOT
MERELY APE OR ECHO
SOME OTHER MAN.
Such a person won't fail in
a pinch. His assets can't be
taken from him. He carries
them with him, in his heart
and his brain, and the whole
weak, wobbly world leans on
him.
Don't be a Rubber Stamp
