An Evacuation Fund Proposed.

President Hoover's submission to
Congress of a supplemental estimate
for 500, 900, to be spent in returning
as many of the bonus marchers to their
homes as are willing to retire from the
Capital scene, affords promise Of action
to solve problem that has been cause
of great concern to the local commu-
nifty and is daily becoming more and
more grave. A joint resolution OF the
same character has already passed the
Senate. There is evidence of agree
ment by the House of Representatives.
Leaders on that side have indicated
their conviction that the responsih lity
for the evacuation of the army that
has been encamped here for several
weeks rests upon the Government.
The proposal is that the sum named
be appropriated and administered by
the Veterans Bureau, loans TO be made
to the bonus seekers to enable them to
pay their railroad fares homeward and
to subsist while on the way, these loans
to be charged against their bonus ac-
counts, to be deducted from the even
tual payments in full.
There is no suggestion OF compulsion
in this proposed method. The Govern
ment cannot force the marchers to
leave Washington short of their arrest
and deportation. There Is no present
thought to that end. 1t is assumed that
DESPITE the, unwise exhortations OF their
leaders the rank and file of the army
realize the hopelessness of their plight
1t is further assumed that If funds are
provided they will take them for home
going. Perhaps they will not do So
If so, the problem of their evacuation
remains to be solved later. But solved
it must be, somehow.
The plea is made that many OF these
men have no homes. 1t is contended
that there is no succor for them at
their homes, if they have any. That
does not justify their remaining here,
virtually as public charges. constituting
a menace to the peace and health CT
this community. The declaration that
they will remain until the bonus is
granted is, of course, the sheerest nom
sense. There is absolutely no chance
for the enactment of the legislation at
this session and no prospect of such
enactment at the session to follow, in
December. These are hard facts for
the marchers to swallow, but they must
accept them and if provision is made
for their transportation and subsistence
on the way it should be taken, else
they will forfeit all that remains OF
public sympathy for them.

A Quick Decision.

It was a bit of quick thinking on the
part of Lieut.. Afford Williams, the fer
mer crack Navy speed flyer. which prob
ably saved the lives of many children
as well as his own. Speeding over New
York City the other day in his high
powered ship Lieut. williams suddenly
discovered that his gas line was broken
and that he was in imminent danger OF
being blown to pieces. Under him was
Van CORTLAND Park with Thousands Of
children at play. IA" as he is COM
monty known, was in quandary. To
attempt to land meant death and injury
to the youngsters intent on their games.
To stay up or TO try to make field
was impossible. Accordingly, he made
quick decision. Hastily seribbling a
note and attaching it to a sc~ewdriver,
he dropped it with unerring aim near a
police booth, where it was promptly
picked up. The police acting quickly
cleared the field and the flyer came
down to a safe landing.
In making sure of the safety of others
before himself Lieut. Williams followed
the finest traditions of aviation. Many
a flyer has given his life in preference
to killing or inturing defenseless persons
on the ground. The former Navy racer
has long been noted for his skill and is
accounted one of the best ayiators in
the world. BY his recent exploit he has
won the admiration of laynlen and
flyers alike.

Higghligghts on the Wide World
Excerpts From Newspapers of Other Lands

" ANGKOK DAILY MAIL.-Tht
- news that the government Il
deeply concerned over tht
- amount of gold metal that ha!
been flowing out of the country
in the form of peasants ornaments
and trinkets, and is planning remedial
measures to stem this flow, presents
many interesting points for discussion.
1t has, of course, been widely known
for some months past that this out
flow of gold was in progress. Perhaps
six months ago this newspaper printed
the results of an informal survey car
ried out in the provinces, and it was
then revealed that the peasants were
selling their gold ornaments and trinkets
at ridiculously low prices to Chinese ped
dlers. The bulk of the yellow metal
was being forwarded to Singapore, where
it made the peddlerS a nice pront'
Eventually, 1t no doubt found its way
into the treasures of countries whose
financial experts considered it healthy
asset Some time later the government
began to broadcast the true price ot
cold to the peasants, working on the
assumption that the peasants, hndng
out that they were being swindled,
would refuse to sell to the peddlers.
But it is now evident that the peasants
continue to sell ct whatever prices they
could get for the simple and elemental
reason that they had to have the cash
to survive the hard times. 1t Is possible
that the radio campaign had the effect
of boosting the price a little, but It
certainly did not stop the outflow OF
gold.
nent is considering the establishment
of a sort of pawnshop at which the
peasants could obtain fair loans on their
ornaments and trinkets. Thus the metal
would at least be kept in the country.
There is some question as TO whether
the government should charge interest
on the money loaned, and we are glad
10 see that the ministry OF interior oo-
tected to this part OF the plan. IL Goes
not seem TO be the sort of undertaking
from which the government should ex-
pect to make a profit.
. But it seems to us that II the
government pawnshop is operated with
the idea of permitting the peasants
eventually to redeem their gold orna-
ments and trinkets the most i'm
portant point in the whole undertak-
ing will be neglected. For the most
important point, it seams to us, is that
the peasants should learn from this
painful lesson that gold ornaments and
trinkets are not good investments. The
report Of the lords-heutenant makes it
plain that the peasants for years have
been in the habit Of buying these use
less llxurieS as a means Of putting
away their savings And we all know
that the peasants are not the only
ones in Siam addicted to this practice
the practice is almost universal. Not
only the poor, but the rich as well,
sink a great portion of their spare cash
in ornaments and trinkets which are
dead assets at best and which cannot
be liQuidated at decent price when
cash Is needed.
n all the money now lying dead in
the cupboards and under the floors of
the homes of both rich and poor in
siam could be turned into cash and the

More DemaqogY.

President Hoover and Speaker Garner
have locked horns over the relief bill.
The Speaker insists that under the
terms Of the bill loans shall be made
by the Reconstruction Finance Corpo-
ration to individuals in all parts Of the
country. The President replies that the
making of loans to individuals is un-
workable and would undermine the Fed
ersl credit. The Speaker charges that
the President favors class Legislation"
in the interest of the bankers, the rail-
roads and the insurance companies.
The Presidents supporters in the House
retort that Speaker Garner talks like
q demagogue.
And so he does. Perhaps if Alfred
e. Smith had occasion to make another
jackson day speech at this time he
would say of the Speaker, now the vice
presidential candidate of the Demo-
cratic party, what he said last Spring
about the head of the Democratic ticket,
Gov. Roosevelt of New York. However,
Mr.. Smith has just indicated in New
York that he will support the Demo-
cratic party" He did not mention
either Roosevelt or Garner, but as he
could scarcely support the Democratic
party without supporting its national
ticket, it is to be presumed that, not
wtthstanding his own ideas about
demaeogic speeches and the effort to
set one class against another in this
country, Mr.. Smith will go down the
line for Roosevelt and Garner.
''I told the President" Speaker Gar
ner shouted to the House yesterday,
shat I am through with class legisla-
ton" The Speaker apparently has just
begun to fight for class legislation. Mr..
Garner has been in the wrong con-
brilliant idea of producing his own
relief measure, which the President
promptly dubbed a pork barrel" bill.
Gradually the bill offered by Mr. Garner
has been stripped of its pork" to the
great prospective benefit Of the people
of the United States. And now the
Speaker is putting up his last fight for
a provision in the bin which would put
the Government CT the United States
into the business of banking, of loan
ing billions of dollars to individuals on
security which might be good or bad
With the Government making loans all
over the country to individuals, how
would it be possible to keep politics out
of it? How would it be possible to turn
down demand for loan from politi-
cal boss, either Republican or Demo-
cratic, for example? This relief
measure is not for month or a year
If the Democrats should be victorious
at the polls next November, in the fol-
lowing March they will take command
of the Government and necessarily OF
the loaning CT these huge sums of
money.
The President has backed up his
statement that the Garner plan to loan
money to individuals is unavoidable and
unsound with the opinions of every
member of the board of the Recon-
Etruction Finance Cooperation except
one who happened to be out of the city

The Gecerril brothers are by no means

them.
One feat which We shall watch with
particular attention is their adroitneSs
in placing banderillas from horseback.
They are said to perform this difficult
trick with even more adroitness than
the most reputed banderillero has ever
done while on foot. It is said these
darts are placed in pairs upon the bulls
shoulders while the horse is at fIItl
gallep, and always at the proper loca-
ton.
