HARD TIMES, SOFT WORDS,
 HALT DUELS

BUDAPEST. Jan. 21. Hard times don't deserve all the hard words said about them. Here in Budapest they prevented what might have been a fatal duel.
 Paul Javor, actor, had words with Zoltan Egyed, theatre critic, and the upshot was challenge and grim arrangements for a duel with sabers. Then, just as the weapons were about to flash, the referee ex- claimed:
 'tGentlemen! Think a moment! At time when the whole country bleeds with distress, can Hungar- ians permit themselves the luxury of attacking one another with the saber?"
 Whereupon the duelists threw away their swords and kissed each other on both cheeks.

the advisability of sending the new ex-
pedition, claiming it was necessary to
protect hundreds of japanese citizens
in the districts around Chientao and
Hunchun.
The region already was in a panicky
state. the Minister said, as result OF
the advance of the Chinese rebels under
Gen. Wang Tehlin and Chinese irreg-

Society. These, he said, had driven
hundreds of Japanese and White"
Russians to seek refuge across the bor-

PRESIDENTS WORK
PRAISED BY DOAK
Tells Virginia Republicans
Nation Appreciates Ac-

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
ROANOKE, Va, April 2-William N.
Doak, Secretary of Labor, told the Vir-
ginia Republican Convention the ad-
mlnistration had done well with a
mighty task, and expressed the belief
that the people have come to under
stand the greatness of these labors and
the magnitude of these achievements. ~
1T Is not my desire nor the desire of
any good Republican to minimize the
effects of the depression, but it is my
desire to prove to you, as 1 believe that
I can. that under the energetic leader
ship of a Republican President of the
United States the extremes of possible
severity have been reduced to a min
lmum," the Labor Secretary said.
Sees Leadership Tested.
THE real test of government leader
ship is its ability to meet economic
crisis in a manner to minimize the
shock upon the people.
Coupled with this leadership must
be the foresight TO anticipate the COM
ing of downward economic trends, and
thus to outline in advance the means
OF relief that will lead to recovery in
the shortest possible time.
Il know that such leadership and
vision have been afforded by the Re-
publican party and its representatives
in high office in this country for more
than seventy years. The present emerg-
ency has by no means proved an ex-
ception to this rule. On the contrary.
the last two and a half years have
furnished an outstanding example OF
such foresight and leadership"
Mr.. Doak. keynoter at the annual
convention. meeting to select delegates
at large to the National Republican
Convention, said present economic
troubles came largely from abroad
and presented probably the most serious
peace-time emergency ever known to
the world.
Praises Hoover Policy.
When its effects began to be felt in
unemployment, he said, President
Hoover presented to Congress a schedule
for speeding the Government building
program and aiding highways to pro-
vide labor for many thousands of work
men. HIS calling to Washington labor
leaders, employers and transportation
executives, Secretary Doak said, brought
about a condition that has few, if any,
examples in history.
True it is that there is and has
been much unemployment" he said,
but the great result of the agreement
entered into between the outstanding
employers and outstanding labor leaders
of the country with the President and
the United States prevented labor
strikes and the terror which almost
invariably attends losses in wages"
