ONCE-OVERS

Men players like to make a
good score-moSt women like
to run up high score when
playing at a regular party.
1t is exasperating to play
with an indifferent. thought
less, absent-minded excuse for a.
partner.
One who will not concentrate
on what has been played and
who will not keep in mind
what cards are out. should
learn how or not play in COM
pany.
But irrespective of poor play
a man should not comment
angrily on his wife's errors
it is a breach of etiquette not
easily forgiven, and this habit
is not confined to husbands.

Float a National
Prosperity Loan

It is also demanded by
some of the bankers that
cities furnishing jobs by
needed permanent public
improvements must S h u t
down on these. This can
means but one thing-the
increase of the army of the
unemployed. And this means
an accession to the ranks of
the hungry. And it also means
a reduction in the purchas-
ing power Of the people
when the whole problem of
the return of prosperity de-
pends on the restoration of
purchasing power.
There is just one way out
of this, and that is the float
ing of a national prosperity
loan to put millions to work
on wages to be spent with
merchants.
But the Administration is
against this plan-or any
plan that goes directly to
the relief of millions of
breadwinners who have been
denied the right to work.
And this, we believe, too, is
"the American plan" "
But the American pIan, "
as understood by the Ad-
(ministration, has many rami-
fications. We have just
heard of the "American
plan'' for the disposal of
foreign securities among
American investors-and it
is bit startling.
1t appears that in the case
of the Peruvian loan, the
bankers, with the positive
aid of the Government,
"rigged the market" and
that $1OO,0OO,O0O in securi-
ties were sold to the people.
It seems that the loan was
to mean so much to the
bankers that they paid a
commission to the son of the
late unlamented Peruvian
presi dent of more than
100000.
Then, it seems, that when
the commercial attache at
Lima informed the Depart
ment of Commerce that it
was unwise to make the loan,
and the State Department
knew about it, too, he was
rebuked for not sending in
an Optimistic report. - At
that time President Hoover

Why Not an American
Way for Americans?
Bu Claude G. BOUerS

"E are beginning to get
w more light on the
American way" where the
supreme problem of the ma
tion is to prevent starvation
and the deprivation of child
hood of the food necessary
for health. The city of
New York is to be forced,
in getting a loan from the
bankers who floated the
Peruvian and German securi-
ties, to reduce its expendi-
lures to minimize the human
misery.
Thus the record stands:
Of the most vital of ma
tional problems, involving
the lives Of women and chill
dren, the National Govern
ment is to be permitted to
wash its hands. Billions for
Europe, but not one cent for
starving Americans" - for
that is "the American way"
The duty of preventing
suffering and starvation
must be assumed by the
local governmental units;
and when these reach the
end Of their resources, as so
many have, or are compelled
by the bankers to shut down
on local relief the National
Government will do moth
ing.
Since private charity is
not a drop in the bucket,
starvation will not be pre-
vented by individual contri-
buttons. In September, in
the case of 81 of our largest
cities, II per cent of all re-
lief has come from the local
treasury. Had these 81
cities done nothing, but %
per cent of the relief given
would have been granted.
Most, or at least many, Of
these cities can do no more,
or must reduce on their ex-
penditures for relief.
Out of this comes one fact
that people out of jobs
because of no fault of their
own, and their women and
children, must suffer md
starve.
For this is "the American
way"

Bridge Etiquette

Bridge Etiquette
If you must demonstrate with
your wife over the way she
plays bridge, don't do it in
public.
She may take kindly to
few helpful suggestions after
the game.
And then again she may not
enjoy it.
A wife who is not particularly
interested in cards will not
give enough attention to the
game to avoid making ridic-
ulous plays.
Unless a wife desires to play
as we'll as her experience and
good judgment permits, she
should not accept invitations
where a good showing is to be
desired in partners help.

The Liquidation
Of the War"

We hear constantly that
the way to prosperity and
peace is to wipe out the war
obligations everywhere and
start all over again. Ger
many will refuse to pay
reparations; the other Eu-
ropean nations will refuse
to pay the debts they owe
the United States; but will
the United States then re-
fuse to pay the billions it
borrowed to loan to the ma
tions that are to be released?
Not at all. A real wiping
out Of the war obligations
means that the U. S. bonds
sold to the people to get
money to make the loans to
Europe, must go too.
Absurd?
Not so absurd. Not long
ago, in Italy, the govern
ment invited the holders of
certain bonds to make a
sacrifice by surrendering
their bonds for a street bon
fire, and they responded. 1t
might be tried here. We have
a very few of these bonds
and agree to give them to
the fire. Where are the
others? Will their owners
make this patriotic sacrifice
to put the world on its feet
again2
They will not. They will
not, because the major part
of these bonds are in pos
session of the institutions
that are asking the transfer
of the European debts to
all the American people so
they can collect On their
private loans. Thus it all
comes to this: We may end
reparations, with which we
have nothing to do, and for
give the debts, and then pay
all the debts ourselves-and
call it the "liquidation Of
the war"

And Who Are
The Voters?
Meanwhile, with Congress
on record against transfer
ring the debts of IA nations
to the backs of American
taxpayers, the advocates of
the transfer are growing
contemptuous of 1.-THE politi-
clans and the voters" in this
country. We may dismiss

way, could not possibly
make a worse mess of things
than the bankers-since they
seek to conform to the will

ers."
And who are the voters ,"
They are the American
people.
They are the American
people who are to be asked
to take over the debts of
France, for example, and
pay them out of their own
pockets.
They are the Americans
who are asked TO submit to
increased taxation to the
tune of billions so h a t
Frenchmen and Belgians and
others may not have to sub
nit to taxation to pay their
debts.
But the representatives of
the bankers, writing and
speaking. have nothing but
disdain for all of us who
cannot understand why it is
contemplate in us, after
having scaled down the for

object to paying all the debt

Nations.

tions on to the American
people, it will be easier for
