We expect him to return
with a proper recantation,
sugar-coated as much as pos
sible with the verbiage Of
sophistry and cunning
phrase. He will probably
conclude that, after all, it
is best to have a settle
ment' as though there had
not been a settlement be-
fore. He will reiterate with
swelling veins that he still
is irrevocably opposed to
Cancellation. +" And he will
suggest a settlement at a
lump sum. "
Since we all know what
the lump sum owing us is, it
is inevitable that that his
lump sum will mean the
transfer of a vast part of
the debt Of Europe to this
country. And that is "can-
collation." for Europe, but
no "cancellation" for the
United States, which must
pay off the bonds sold to
get the money to loan to
Europe.
And the answer of ninety
nine out of a hundred Amer
leans has been phrased in
the resolution of the Ameri-
can Legion which fought for
America on the fields of
Flanders:
Whereas the Govern
ment of the United States
during the World War
loaned to the entente al
lied nations billions of dol
lars for the purpose of car
rying on the war against
Germany and her allies, and
this money was secured by
the sale of Government
bonds to the citizens of the
United States;
BE it resolved by the
American Legion that they
are unalterably opposed to
the cancellation of the
whole or any part of the
debts owed the United
States by foreign govern
ments generally known as
war debts.

Priced Gray Hairs

ticeable. His office boy, whose APP
pearance is one of slightly premature
maturity, is everywhere treated by
subway guards, box Office employees
and garage attendants with infinitely
more respect than he ever can
achieve.
This persistent youthfulness has
worried him. mildly, for ten years or
more. 1t was, therefore, with some
thing near real pleasure that he well
coined the first gray hairs. He en-
visioned himself as, at long length, at
tanning the dignity of appearance he
had come to covet-partly because
so many people absent-mindedly adj
dressed him as "boy." The gray came
along nicely. 1t spread along the sides
of his head. He approached ma

one Of her periodical campaigns to
smarter him up, insisted that he keep
his hair cut shorter. He explained
the need to the barber.
He emerged from the shop pleased
with the idea that he now looked
like an alert young executive. He
dropped in at soda fountain and sat
waiting the busy dispenser. Finally
the dispenser, lad of about twenty,
turned to him.

he inquired.

Nowhere in the Bible does 1t say
that Salome was the name Of the
daughter of Herodias, who. instructed
by her mother. requested of Herod
and received the head Of John the
Baptist in a charger as the reward Of

of this incident do not give the name
of the daughter Of Herodias, referring
to her simply as the damsel. From
the Jewish historian Josephus we learn
that Herodias had daughter named
Salome by her first husband. who was
Herod's brother Philip. This Salome

"The time has come for some good old fashioned democratic doc- trine. A platform briefly and bold ly stated is the kind of platform we ought to have GNd when that is done, 1t doesn't seem we'll have to bother much about which candi- date is chosen"
 Baker concluded his address with q plea to balance the budget and to carve expenses until we meet the nations fiattened purse."
 And we should impose taxes only necessary to meet the ex- penses of government honestly and economically administered" he said.
 Eulogizlng the democratic party as the only national party, Baker castigated the republican, tariff pol icies, declaring that industries had been driven to other countries by retaliatory tariffs and that the American tariffs had made 1t i'm. possible for foreign nationals to pay their debt obligations to Amer lea in goods.

 The purpose of settling the questions Is to give the Reconstruc- ton Finance corporation some au- thority for granting the loan in case 1t decided to do 50.
 There are no laws in the state of Connecticut which state that the superior court has the author ity to grant permission for q loan such as the receiver. in the Mer- chants Trust Co case desires.

 The receiver filed application for loan of a million dollars from the Reconstruction Finance corporation on February 22d in the local superior court. Permission to borrow the money was granted by Judge Frederick M. Peasley and the necessary application was filled out and sent to Boston, head quarters for the Reconstruction Finance corporation in this dis trict. The application was later to Washington, D. c.
 Later the application was changed and the amount asked was fixed at half million. The proceeds of the loan would be used for one of two purposes, the appli- cation stated. Either to pay a div idend to depositors of the Mer- chants Trust Co, or use the funds for reorganization purposes. AS

Campaign Literature Goes
 Out By the Ton From
 Washington. and There
 Is No Limit M

Washington, May 24.-(UP)- Government expenses are material ly boosted by the heavy. tonnage of free mail--campaign literature sent out under congressional frank, by the trainload. Senators and congressmen ''lend" their franks so that lobbyists and even candidates for public office can circulate free literature at government expense.
 Last year members of congress mailed out 8e,413,032 free pieces of mail. These weighed 4,3S5,- 007 pounds. Postage would have amounted to $723.671. This stupen- dous Niagara of circulars would have filled 1,253 average size work ing railway mall cars. Moving out at one time the load would have made up 123 average length mail trains. Even packing the litera- ture in storage cars, 1t would have filled eight train loads.
 This is congressional mall and does not include that of govern ment departments and others. The postoffice handled q total of 789,- b67,165 free pieces of mail last year, which normally would have carried $11,575,837 in postage.
