The first move will be for legal beer,
Immediately, before the eighteenth
amendment is touched. Assume, that
by adding together the vets and
such former drys as accept the
mandate of the people," such
bill can be passed. What will it be?
If the beer provided is really in
toxicating in fact, it clearly violates
the Constitution, and the courts
will have no choice but to throw it
out. If it is a really nonintoxicat-
ing drink, will it satisfy the thirsty?
Somewhere between Subzero near

an unqueStioned kick, lies a compro-

In the range between PTS per
cent and per cent lies that COM
promise, beer that the thirsty
would be glad to get, and yet which
leaves enough doubt as to it's in
toxicating properties to get the
benefit of court approval and avoid
a possible veto by President Hoo
yer, who is at heart a dry.
A NY alcoholic content up to
IA per cent is debatable, with
equally reputable authority on both
sides. Much Of the light lager beer
sold before the war was only
around per cent, and nearly all
beer was under 4 per cent.
The O'Connor- Hull bill, defeated
228 to 169 last session, but certain
to come up early in this one, pro-
vided 2.75 per cent by weight, a 8
cents pint tax, and sale in bottles

Between the extreme vets, fight
ing for the limit at 4 per cent, and
the drys, such compromise seems
likely.
But suppose such a bill is passed?

Relief Work Organized
Relief work was organized on an
impressive scale, and food, clothing,
medical and other supplies were
poured into the province by train
and truck.
The scene in what was last week
the populous port of Santa Cruz
was a sight which those who wit
messed it will never forget. The
United Press correspondent reached
there Saturday, the first American
reported to arrive.
From miles away, the smoke of
funeral pyres could be seen spiraling
up in the calm air, as troops gath
cred the hundreds of bodies scat
tered for miles around and burned
them.
Town Strewn Over Country
Burial was impossible, since haste
had to be made to lessen the danger
of pestilence.
There was no town left. The town
was levelled and strewed over the
landscape like village of toy
blocks kicked helter-skelter.
The wind and the twenty-foot
wall of water that followed it from
the sea swept bodies and wreckage
for several miles inland.
Parts of houses, boats, bodies,
household goods and other objects
were lying in the drying fields two
miles from town.
Bodies of people and animals were
being burned as fast as they could
be gathered.
Survivors Hunt Relatives
Meanwhile, dozens of frantic sur
vivors, who had refused to join the
| hundreds evacuated to Camaguey
City, wandered disconsolately in
the shattered ruins, aimlessly look
ing for lost relatives.
Many half-clothed and injured
children were among them.
A sight that haunted my memory
as I left the town was a child's toy
scooter, standing intact before
low tiled doorstep-all that re-
manned of what had once been
home - as though awaiting it's
small owner.

HOOVER ASKS
ROOSEVELT TO
DEBT FARLEY
Britain, France Put Issue
SquareIy Up to u. S.
in Notes.
SWIFT ACTION IS URGED
Precedent Shattering Step
Taken on Europe'S Plea
for Revision.
BY JOSEPH H. BAIRD
United Press stan Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-The
fate Of Europe's plea for war debt
revision depended in large measure
today on President Elect Franklin D.
Roosevelts answer to President
Herbert Hoover's precedent shatter-
ing invitation to White House con-
ference.
Great Britain and France put the
debt reduction issue squarely up to
this country in notes made public by
the state department. They asked
fundamental revision of their So
000,0O0,0O0 obligation. Pending
negotiations to this end, they re-
quested delay on Dec. Is payments
of nearly $124,000,000
Mr.. Hoover, speeding east from
California, asked Mr.. Roosevelt and
his advisers to meet with him at the
White House late this week.
The President wants his successors
ideas on war debts and other
economic issues because these
questions are certain to carry over
into the Roosevelt administration
Any debt settlement will rest finally
with the Democratic congress-.
World Is Left Guessing
Confined at his Albany mansion
by a cold, the President elect left
the world guessing for the time
being as to whether he would come
here.
The British French attack on the
war debt structure is regarded by
Mr.. Hoover as the opening wedge
in a general campaign for reduc-
ton of Europes $11,00O,00O,O 900 debt
to the United States.
In resolution adopted last De-
cember, congress shouted a re-
sounding mo" to possible future
requests for debt revision. Now the
question is: Shall Mr.. Hoover ask
congress to change its mind. He
said he wanted Mr.. Roosevelt's adj
vice before drafting recommended
tons.
First Reaction Is Cold
First congressional reaction was
cold toward any further concessions
to Europe. Senator David A. Reed
Pa0 and Charles L. McNary (Ore.).
Republican leaders, said congress
should stand firm on its declaration
of last winter opposing debt reduc-
ton.
Democrats were cautious in COM
menting pending disclosure of Gov
ernor Roosevelt'S views, but Senator
Claude A. Swanson (Va.), ranking
Democrat on the foreign relations
committee, said he believed congress
would receive reductions proposals
unfavorably.
Senator Thomas j. Walsh CDem..
MontO said a special session should
be called quickly if a decision was
necessary before debt payments are
due Dec. Is. The regular session
does not convene until Dec. 5.
StimSOn Remains Silent
State Secretary Stimson declined
to discuss TIE British and French
notes pending Mr.. HooverS return.
He said no other notes had yet been
received.
Asked if the Hoover administra-
ton still held to its policy of dis
cussing debts with each nation
separately, Stimson said there had
been no change. This policy, if
continued, would make a general
debt conference impossible.
1t appears likely that if Mr..
Roosevelt agrees to come here, a
large conference including senators
and representatives of both parties,
