Relative Small Payment to d. C.

In percentage relation of national aid
TO national tax payments, the District s
percentage Cos per cent?, according to
official figures, compares with those of
II States each contributing less than
the District, as follows
Alabama, 90; Arizona. 1873, Arkansas,
270; Georgia, 101; Idaho, 374; Missis-
Sippi, l23 Montana. 247: Nebraska, IS;
Nevada, 1884, New Mexico 662; North
Dakota. 625 Oregon, lis; South Caro-
lima. 213; South Dakota, 389; Utah.
100 plus; Vermont, 10, and Wyoming,
568.
Most Of these payments to the States
are made on the $3.50 basis-that is.
the Federal dollars are to be matched
by State dollars-in precise accordance
with the wise half-and- half policy, in
| relation to the Capital of the law of
1878. This policy is so sound and bene-
fetal that it is wisely employed today in
the Nations relations to the States
surely in the light of this vindication
and reaffirmation it will be retained i'm
spirit and principle at least in the re-
lations of Nation and Capital, where for
nearly half a century it has demon
strated its wisdom and beneficence.
Surely the Nation will not today adopt
and discard 1t and the principle of def
mite proportionate contribution upon
which it is based, in the Nations reIa-
ton to the National Capital.
What These Figures Emphasize,
These figures are shown to empha-
size the numerous and large Federal
subsidies to the States, which are not
extended to the District of Columbia.
creating benefits to the States which
are not enjoyed or participated in by
the District of Columbia. The show
ing justifies merely one of several sup
porting parts of Washington's argu-
ment that State taxes should be de-
Quoted when tax burdens in the cities
are compared to the tax burden in
the District of Columbia.
These figures, in addition destroy
| the accusation of mendicancy frequent
ly leveled at Washingtonians by I'M
sympathetic members of Congress, who
| point to the lump-Sum contribution
as a gratuity or dole, unparalleled in
the appropriations of Federal money.
The figures are not published as
criticism of the States or of the policy
of State aid, but to point out that
there is nothing to support the charge
of mendicancy against the District.

Hits Reckless Spending.

THE world ship of state cannot re-
gain its safe course to port by reckless
spending and by reckless vltuperatlcn
but it can steer safely home by unity OF
action and determination eventually 10
meet its just obligations.
BY economic cooperation TINS Ma
ton can revive the trade OF the word
as we'll as trade within our own DOT
ders. In so doing we can extend a
helping hand to our debtors as well as
to ourselves. The highest ideals of
America demand that with strict ad-
herence to the principles of Washing
ton, we maintain our international
freedom and at the same time offer
leadership to sorely tried humanity"
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1932-02-03

of legitimate trade, balanced budgets
and payment of obligations. American
participation in the League would not
serve the highest purpose OF the pre-
vention of war and a settlement OF
international difficulties in accordance
with fundamental American ideals
Because Of these facts, therefore, do
not favor American participation.
Favors U. S. Leadership.
What the world needs most today
is a national policy which Will make
us an example of national honor 10
ether nations The first lesson Tor all
the world is recognition that treaty
is a nations word of honor to another
nation and that all just national deplS
are debts of honor; that, therefore, no
honorable nation may break treaty III
spirit any more than they may oreaK Il
in letter; nor, when it is debtor. may
repudiate or cancel national oeoG OF
honor On the other side it should be
remembered also that the creditor on
his part should use every honorable
means to help the debtor set his mouse
in order.
Europe owes us. We do not owe
her Therefore We should call meet
ing of our debtors here and not IN
Europe and demand an understanding.
II it were considered advisable in the
present condition of world finance to
postpone the payment of debts Tor
awhile, we should nevertheless insist
upon an accord as to when payments
should begin and in what amount.
Europe has INDUCED herself IN an
orgy of spending and finds herself at
the moment in crippled nnanclal
position. She should look at the 1acts
of her spending and bring aoout
eouilibriun and enable her to meet her
lust obligations. She should cease to
blame us for all the Ills which have
followed this reckless course of spend
ing and try to remember the aid we
gave her in time of need; aid for which
She was once grateful but which she
has forgotten.

Growth of the Subsidy System.

The rapid growth of the Federal aid
system is shown by comparison of
the payments during the last 20 years.
In 1912 this total was approximately
100000. By 1920 it had risen to
$42,000,000, by 1922 to $134,000,000 and
by 1927 to $163,000,000, the highwater
mark of the payments up to the pres
ent time. During the fiscal years 1920
to 1880, inclusive, Mr.. Galloway points
out, Federal aid payments reached the
grand total of $1,453, ,224, almost
one and half billion dollars. OF this
huge sum more than $833000,000, or
81 per cent, went for the cooperative
construction of highways; over S275,-
100000, or 10 per cent, went to the
National Guard; over S64000,000, or
"A per cent, was devoted to cooper
alive agricultural extension work, and
an equivalent amount to cooperative
vocational education and rehabilita-
ton. These four activities together &C
counted during the period for about IS
per cent of the Federal aid approprla-
lions, highway construction being the
chief beneficiary of the system.
The purposes and amounts OF the
principal subsidies appear in the table
which follows. Only in the fund for the
National Guard is the District OF Co.

Urges Horse Sense"

ut is time for this Nation to use a
| little horse sense about the objective
we seek and the results of our present
tariff law 1t is time for us to sit
down with other nations and say to
! them This tariff fence business, on our
part and on yours, is preventing world
! trade Let us see if we can work out
| reciprocal methods by which we can
start the actual interchange Of goods.
! We do not ask you to buy our goods
! for cash because We know you have not
| got the cash, but we do suggest that
| it would be good for us and for you if
we could send to you each year large
| volume of American products in eX-
shange for your products But we do
recognize the fact that we can prob
ably use many Of your articles and at
the same time we can start our own
wheels of industry going in manufactur-
! ing the things you need and want-all
with adequate safeguards for the Amer
lean standards of labor
II have good reason to believe that
many nations who, like us, are suffering
us half way and put all the cards on
the table for the purpose of breaking
an actual deadlock which has paralyZed
world trade and thrown millions here
and abroad out of useful work.
! LET me at the same time make 1t
clear that a trade conference with the
other nations of the world does not
and should not, by any stretch of the
| imagination involve the United States
in any participation in political con-
! troversieS in Europe or elsewhere. Nor
does it involve the renewal in any way
of the problem of II years ago of Amer
lean participation as memebr Of the
League of Nations.
Has No Apology to Make.
I'm common with millions of my fell
low countrymen, I worked and spoke,
in 1920. in behalf of American partici-
patton in a League of Nations, con-
ceiyed in the highest spirit of world
friendship for the great object of pre-
venting a return of world war. For
that course have no apology to make.
IF today 1 believed that the same or
even similar factors entered into the
argument, would still favor Americas
entry into the League, and I would go
so far as to seek to win over the over
whelming opposition which exists in
this country today.
But the League of Nations today Is
not the League conceived by Woodrow
Wilson. 1t might have been had the
United States joined. Too often through
these years its major function has been
not the broad overwhelming purpose of
world peace, but rather a mere meet
ing place for the political discussion of
strictly European political national diff
ficulties. In these the United States
should have no part.
"The fact remains that we did not
Join the League. The League has not
developed through these years along
] the course contemplated by its founder,
nor have the principal members shown
a disposition to divert the huge sums
spent on armament into the channels

 As soon as the ice left the Kobuk lake about 3 weeks ago first boats came from the Kobuk river from different villages. The rat hunt CTS came down also. Some arrived soon after from Noatak and other places.
 There were mot many rats caught this spring in comparison with other seasons. The approximate amount of their catches was about 2S,O00 rate with all the villages put together.
 The glorious fourth saw the aviation field at Kotzebue come in to it's own. Flying heels, tail spins, and frequent dives, loops and hitherto unheard of barrel rolls and side slips were every whern in evidence.
 Baseball, footraces, broad and high jumping kept one of the big gest crowds ever seen on the run Many of the old sports were brot back-amongst them: Paul David ovics, Billy Southward, Henry Cop pie and many others.
