ONCE-OVERS

or something to occupy your
mind in an intelligent manner
and then you would not think
of such nonsense.
A young woman left a good
place where she was working
because she had been to a
fortune teller who predicted
that her employer was going to
die soon.
She did not want to be there
for the event so she left the
place and the woman for whom
she worked has lived ten years
since and is still going,
It is the ignorant who are
pitifully afraid of what they
call signs
But when superstition invades
the homes of refined and edu-
Gated people what can be ex.
pected of the less fortunate,
Better rid yourself of it.

The Burden Will Be
Passed On to Us

But the nations in the rep
arations conference, who
have been getting the repa-
rations we did not get and
did not want, will take the
position that they cannot cut
down on the reparatiOns un-
less we cut down on the
debts correspondingly. That
means that they will lose
nothing by their sympathy,
because the burden will all
be passed on to us.
To us, who did not take or
ask reparations to crash the
German people.
To us, who did not take
the German colonies that the
others took.
And on what ground? On
the ground that these four
teen nations that have spent
two billion dollars in year
increasing the strength OF
their armies and navies can
not pay Us what they owe

LIGHT, AND FOR MOOCHERS
WHO WANT TO GET SOME
THING FOR NOTHING, AND
FOR COWARDS WHO WISH
TO DUCK RESPONSIBILITY.
An Easy Job
People who crawl out of con-
sequences by making excuses
are contemplate, but it's really
quite easy, and much smarter,
to dodge grief by taking the
blame.
There, for instance, is Bill
Jones. Everybody likes Bill.
Everybody is sorry for him
and wants to help him. Pretty
tough to be facing a hard win
ter with a sick wife, two little
kids and not a penny in his
pocket! Yes, it's true that Bill
didn't work last summer when
he might have had job; but
SOMEHOW YOU CAN'T BE
HARD ON BILL, BECAUSE
BILL BEATS YOU TO 1T BY
BEING SO HARD ON HIM
SELF.
Bill will tell you frankly,
with an honest gulp in his
throat, that he's nothing but a
bum. He'll assure you that he
doesn't deserve a bit of help.
He may even add that if he
had a spark of manhood he'd
put a bullet through his worth
less head.
Whereupon you'll instantly
forget all the stern things you
want to say to Bill, for, after
all, "there must be something
mighty fine in chap like that
or he wouldn't be so honest"
Oh, yeah?
Just a Racket
Far be it from me to dis
courage charity from anyone
to anyone. I'll freely admit
that I'd fall for Bills racket
as quickly as you would, neigh
Dor. But let's not kid our
selves; it is q racket. Bills
self-blame is as effective, and
socially as vicious, as the
gangSter's machine gun, and
the result is identical. Bill
and the gangster BOTH GET
BY WITH MURDER.
And what are we going to
do about it?
We aren't going to do any
thing about it; not at least, for
a very long time. For here's
the tough truth:
THE SELF-BLAMER GETS
BY BECAUSE WE REALLY
LIKE HIS STUFF.
It flatters our conceit and
magnifieS our own Importance
to have him contrast his weak
ness with our strength. 1t
makes us feel like little tin
gods to have him come crawl
ing to us for aid, And so we
come across.
Well, if it isn't one shell
game it's another.
Barnum knew his humans.

deserve respect and sympathy
and help"
That's the way I once thought
about self-blamers. 1 still think
that way in certain cases. I
still think that it requires
courage, honesty and fine intel
ligence to take the blame for
ones own foolishness, and that
those who do so sincerely are
worthy of our deepest respect.
But I no longer think that
all self-blamers are sincere. You
learn a lot about humans when
you run a column like this,
and one of the first things
you learn is that self-blame is
not always the brave, honest,
humble act it seems.
1T IS SOMETIMES A VERY
SLICK RACKET-A GREAT
GAME FOR EGOTISTS WHO
WANT TO GRAB THE SPOT
The Washington times., 1932-01-07
We Took Nothing
From the Germans

The next step in the de-
velopment of the conspiracy
will come when the repara-
tions conference, composed
of the representatives of the
debtor nations who get the
reparations, meet and act.
They will appear very SYM
pathetic toward Germany.
Even France will be tender
of Germany for once. They
will tell us that something
must be done to lift the hor-
rible reparations burd n
from the backs of the Ger
man people.
Well, we have nothing to
do with those reparatlons.
We thought them outrageous
at the time. Wilson thought
them out of all proportion,
and said so. And thinking
of the German people then
13 years ago-we refused to
put a penny of obligation on
the backs of the Germans in
the way of reparations.
We thought it outrageous
for the European allies to
take the German ships, MAX
ing it difficult for them to
carry on the trade necessary
to the existence Of the
people; and we thought it
unfair to take all the colonies
of the Germans - deprivlng
them of the capacity to pay
the war debt. And so we
took no colonies.
No reparations to America
can be charged as cruelty 10
the Germans.
No German territories fly
our flag we took nothing
from the Germans.
And so we have nothing to
do with the reparations con-
ference. If France, England
and the other debtor nations
think that the salvation of
Europe depends upon scaling
down the reparations that is
their business, and they can
act.

To a woman of 20, q kiss IS

When a man transfers his
love to another woman. his
wife has a chance of winning
it back; but when he transfers
it to golf, business, booze or his

about the only thing that
sweet young thing would blush
to admit is that she's never

The Washington times., 1932-01-07

IF ANY one believes that
l. the conspiracy to saddle
on the backs of the American
people the debts Of the IA
nations that owe us on the
loans is over his credulity is
childish. The selfish inter-
ests behind the conspiracy
on this side of the water
are not going to give up the
fight.
There is not a scintilla of
doubt that some such under
standing was reached in the
secret conferences of the
American President with
the visiting statesmen OF
England and France. There
were few, if any members
of Congress who did not feel
this to be true. And when
Congress added the amend
ment against the reduction
or transfer of the debts to
Americans it meant a vote
of no confidence" in the
Administration.
The President had inspired
the story when the fight be-
gan that he had no remote
idea of transferring the
debts of other nations to
our backs. If Congress had
had faith in that assurance
there would have been no
necessity for the amendment
The amendment was put IN,
partly as a warning to the
conspirators, and largely as
vote of "no confidence"
in the Administration.
The Washington times., 1932-01-07
Former Prime Minister
Gave Conspiracy Away

Almost a year ago a for
mer prime minister of
France, in a signed article,
gave the conspiracy away.
He pointed out that Ameri-
can bankers, engaged in bad
banking, had made enor-
nous private loans at hand
some interest to Germany ;
that Germany would be un-
able to pay the bankers if
the debtor nations were not
relieved of the debts to the
people of the United States.
He practically said that the
international bankers would
force the American Govern
ment to transfer the debts
of the IA nations to the
American people, so the IN
ternational bankers could
collect more rapidly on their
private loans.
This was an unfortunate
assumption that the / inter-
national bankers own and
control the Government OF
the United States, or at an
rate the Administration.

Superstition
You would be chagrined and
mortified if called seriously
"superstitious."
You would be ashamed TO
have anyone think you were
governed by signs and sayings:
However. if you dream OF
water, or of black horses, you
think you are going to be Ill.
If the water is muddy and
comes over your feet you are
plainly scared.
Now and then you have
spells of counting to see if you
are in a group of 13 and If so
you feel sure that one OF you
is going to die within a year.
Every one of these signs has
been exploded many times, but
you continue to allow your
mind to think of such silly
