of the deprecated foreign currencies.
The committee to cooperate in Sc
curing the desired relief for the timber
products industry, to be called the
committee on forest products and patrol

That Congress must Immediately set
up tariff barrier against foreign i'm
ports of wood pulp to protect the farmer
in the development of his woodlot and
to prevent greater unemployment in
the forests and pulp mills of the Lake
States was the opinion reached by the
committee
Deprecated foreign currencies have
enabled Scandinavian and other Eur
opean countries to land wood pulp on
the Atlantic Seaboard at lower figure
than cost of production in the United
States. Unbleached sulphite pulp was
offered at as low as $500 in January
The freight charge from Baltimore to
middle west points is approximately
$500. The lowest cost of production by
mills in the Lake States is $500 and
this runs up to $4,000 or more Tramp
vessels from Europe are bringing sui
phite into lake ports.
The big burden of the foreign COM
petition falls on self contained mills
that have their own timberlands and
on the independent pulpwood operators
and farmers and their employees who
gain an important part of their living
from winter work in the woods. The
forest interests of the Lake States are
directly and disastrously affected.
The committee voted unanimously to
petition Congress for emergency tariff
duty. Bills to provide protection have
already been introduced by members
from Maine and Oregon.

Carlo and NOUarr0
Stars In "M1fa H1ri.'

The dangerous but glamorous life OF
the notorious World War spy, "Mata
Hari," is portrayed in the picture OF
that name which will open Sunday at
the Opera House with the sensational
combination of Greta Carlo and
Ramon Novarro in the leading roles
The amazing cast of this ambitious
Metros oldwyn-Mayer production also
includes such outstanding screen per-
sonalities as Lionel Barrymore, Lewis
Stone, c. Henry Gordon, Karen Morley
and Alec B. Francis, together with a
large group of supporting players.
The unprecedented feat of placing
two Of the screens foremost PERSONAL
ties in one picture warranted an ex-
ceptional story. Report has it that
following extensive study of stage plays
and novels, the original story, "Mats
Hari," was selected as being most
eminently suited to bring out the best
dramatic talents of both Carlo and
Novarro, who last scored individual
hits in Susan Lenox" and aSon OF
India" respectively.
The plot depicts the engrossine
career of the fascinating Mata Hari
whose beauty and glamour as a dancer
enables her to win her way into the
confidence Of Allied officers and thus
to furnish the enemy forces with
stategic war plans. When she finally
falls IN love with one of the many
men whom she has betrayed, It is toe
late and she is forced to face a firing
squad

patriotism, where vengeance was call
ed justice. where fear was called pru-
dence. But even in Constantinople,
where during the peace conference, as
a high commissioner, ! was vainly
struggling against the folly reigning
at Versailles, I received frequent and
unmistakable proofs that the Belgian
plenipotentiary was almost always to
be found on the side of moderation
and balance.
Almost always, I say and not al
ways-for what l intend to write about
Hymans is not panegyric, but what
believe to be the ungarnished truth.
And Belgium made grave mistake
at Versailles when, in the eXhilara-
ton of victory and freedom reconquer-
3D. she thought herself entitled to a
readjustment Of her frontier line at
the expense of Netherlands. which had
remained neutral during the war. But
let those whose conscience is entirely
clean of all victory madness throw
the first stone at Hymans.
In 1920. 1921 and 1922 I was able
to ascertain for myself the moderation
and realistic sense of Hymans. During
those years I sat frequently beside him
at the tables of the most important
conferences that followed the war 1t
was the most favorable moment to
gauge the actors on the European
stage. 1t was great trial-the re-
adjustment of old psychologists to new
situations.
To me it was first a surprise, and
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1932-05-29

then a constant source of satisfaction,
to see that Hymans and Jaspar-the
two who had more excuses than any,
since they represented invaded Belgium,
for pursuing a policy OF hatred and
revenge-were among the wariest ad-
visers of moderation. pacification and
European reconstruction. though as
their duty demanded. they neverthe-
less safeguarded the interests Of their
little country.
AS I found Hymans at the postwar
! international conferences, SO he has al
ways been at the League of Nations.
He may be considered one of the intel
lectual parents of the League. For he
was one Of the members Of the first
committee which. with Wilson himself
as its chairman. was intrusted with the
task of preparing the draft of the cove
nant.
At the tenth assembly Of the League
OF Nations, in 1929 Hymans advised the
development Of joint economic action.
through collective agreements, to bring
about the lowering of customs barriers.
He suggested two-year customs truce
during which the different states were
to prepare for lowering of customs
tariffs and economic disarmament.
The idea was supported by several
great powers and an economic confer
ence met at Geneva that November to
seek solution to the problem. 1t re-
suited in the commercial agreement of

Proposed Army Nets
Present Many Uses

PAR1S-Lieut. Georges Felix of the
French Army Reserves has proposed to
the minister of national defense to add
a net to the equipment Of every infantry
soldier. Like most good ideas, it is of
the simplest. Lieut.. Felix proves that
his net can be turned to score of uses.
His first consideration relates to
camoudage. The net is Of whipcord,
about feet long and Is inches wide
and weighs l pound. It can be carried
in a pocket or attached to a belt. Ac-
cording to the nature of the terrain the
soldier can render himself invisible
simply by weaving grass, leaves or ears
of wheat or barley in and out Of the
meshes. Then he covers himself with
the appliance and lies prone; he can
also crawl along the ground beneath it.
As each net has 10 hooks, a number
can be joined together to camoufage q
machine-gun crew.
Although intended to serve primarily
as csmouf1age, Lieut.. Felix points out
that its uses are unlimited. It can serve
to carry a wounded man, as hammock,
as pack for carrying rations or am
munition, and what not.

Canadian Relief Plan Places $4,000
On Land to Take Care of Themselves

When Gordon entered the Bennett
administration and assumed control Of
the department of immigration and
colonization. he decided that the time
had come for Canada to concern herself
with the settlement of persons inside
the borders of the Dominion rather than
with the encouragement of immigration.
Co-ordinated Plan Adopted.
His decision made. Gordon got in
touch with the premiers of the nine
provinces and the presidents of the
Canadian Pacific and Canadian Ma
Ger which the department of inmi-
grafton and colonization and the two
railways carried out co-ordinated eff
fort for the placement on the land OF
families and individuals from the cities.
Some of the provinces co-operated
closely in this movement; others utilized
their own colonization organizations.
The policy was based on the belief that
there were in Canadian cities many
families of farm experience who. pos
sessed of little capital, yet without en-
ployment or threatened by unemploy-
ment, would be glad to 60 back to the
land.
There was nothing of paternalism in
the SClleHle, no OIIeT OF IlnanCldl ASSIST
ance; no suggestion of money to be
made from farming. But Gordon's Or
ganization, backed by the local Offices
of the two railways in all parts of
Canada, offered to place families in
touch with farms. which might be
handled with their own resources. as
well as to place single unemployed men
from the cities in contact with possible
farm employers.
Work Will Be Continued.
The federal government and the rail-
ways will continue this work during the
present Spring and Summer. To date
more than $4,000 Canadians have been
placed on farms and are making good
Since the Gordon plan was inaugu-
rated land to the value of $11 SOC, 900 has
been sold. In all e,040 married men
with families have been transferred
from the ranks of the unemployed in
the cities to the country. The 1852
single men would probably have been
in the bread line. In all nearly $4,000
people have been changed from needy
urbanites to self-sustaining rural dwell
ers.
Quebec has taken 1000 people from
the cities to the farm, Ontario 2,50l
and Saskatchewan over 1000.

steady progress of its work will be
facilitated, if it is not resumed, before
we have clear prospect.
1t remains to be seen If events will
await our patience. The seething con-
dition of Germany must give rise to
much disquietude. The perils of the
internal political condition of Germany
and of the Hitler movement must be
urgent to draw from so cautious and
thoughtful man as Chancellor Bruen-
ing words as grave as those he uttered
in his two latest speeches, during the
political interregnum in France.
If one held to the test of the chan
cellor's speeches. if one did not bear in
mind these demands and his difficulties

we, the French, to discharge two duties:
How are We to reconcile our duty a:

in our power for the re-establishment

to reconcile that duty of the good Eu-
ropean with the resolve not to permit

should lose the benefit of that balance
