What Can You
Do For The Pains
Of Rheumatism !?
Pain Ended In Few Minutes, This Way

It has now been discovered by
thousands of rheumatic sufferers
that the pains Of that distressing
disorder can be eased in as little as
a few minutes relief and comfort
in almost as little time as it takes
to tell
Doctors advise two tablets of
Bayer Aspirin taken with full glass
of water. Then rest of a few min
utes =. and that is all. Pain IS
eased quickly-sometimes almost
unbelievably.
Relief comes so fast because OF
the peculiar quick-dissolving prop
erty of Genuine Bayer Aspirin. The
tablets you take dissolve almost IN
STANTLY in your stomach. And
thus you get practically instant re-
lief. The fastest, saferelief-itissaid.

Remember it is Genuine Bayer
Aspirin which claims this quick
dissolving, quick-acting property.
So be careful that you get the real
article when you buy. See that any
box or bottle you purchase is clearly
marked Genuine Bayer Aspirin"
And that any tablet you take has
the name ''Bayer" stamped on it in
the form of a cross. Then you will
get quick relief.
Remember that when you buy.
And remember, too, that Genuine
Bayer Aspirin Does Not Harm the
Heart.

its demand that the United States

BY GEORGE r. HOLMES

The thorny situation created
by the exchange of notes with
Great Britain and France on war
debt payments due December IS
was reviewed at some length by
President Hoover and his Cabinet
today.
No change, however, was indi
Gated in the American position
i. e., that the payments due day
after tomorrow must be made
urireeervedly prior to any move
mert for review of the whole
question.
Satisfaction was generally felt
that the British, in a new note
today. announced their intention
Of paying.
AS for the French, some doubt
arose as to whether they will pay,
after the finance committee of
the Chamber of Deputies rejected
a motion for unconditional pay
ment.
Secretary of State Stimson al
ready has informed the debtors
that the Treasury has no author
ity to accept payment except
under the terms of the existing
funding agreement, and that posi-
ton will be maintained, it was
stated.
Secretary StimSon carried the
latest British communication to
the White House at 1890 a. m.
The Administration regards the
correspondence with the British
as concluded for all practical
purposes. It is not likely any re-
ply will be sent, other than for
NAL acknowledgment OF its re-
ceipt.

turned down his compromise and
went 10 work on a resolution de.
manding postponement of the
payment until revision has &C

In the Chamber, the RepubG-

to a barrage of hostile criticism

Department today. It was similar
in vein and content to the ones
replying to the French and Brit
iSh communications. It will be
published tomorrow.
In the latest British note, de-
livered somewhat dramatically to
Secretary of State Stimson at
his suburban home at midnight,
it was emphasized that re-
examination of the whole debt
question be undertaken without
loss of time"
There is not much the Hoover
Administration can do in this
regard, except to lay the debtors
request before the lame-duck Con-
greSS.
This Congress has only 10
weeks to live, and there is little
disposition to have it attempt
anything on the debts.
The sentiment is general that
the whole thorny problem should
be allowed to go over into the
new Roosevelt Administration
that comes into power on March 4.
InaSmuch, however, as PreSi-
dent Hoover already has prom
ised the debtor countries to pre-
sent their case to Congress, it
is expected that after payment
has been received Thursday, he
will send special message to
the Capitol apprising Congress
of the situation.
Thereafter he can wash his
hands of the matter and leave
it to Roosevelt and the incoming
Democrats.
While the Rooseveltian policy
with regard to the debts re-
mains to be clarified in many
respects, he has virtually promised
the debtors q hearing.

they want to advertise it over

whatever, so that they can ex-

Pickett warned that the M. E.
Church, with 100000 members,
is strongly against return Of
liquor.
He argued that reeStablishment
of the beer trade would actually
decrease Federal revenues, by
diverting money from general
tarde to, the liquor business. He
said:

President Hoover said that
the moratorium would improve
Germany. Germany Is worse off
today than before the mOratOr-
ium.
President Hoover said that
the moratorium would improve
Europe. Many European cOun-
tries today are on the verge Of
bankruptcy"
Marin said, however, that mo
one denies France will honor her
signature"
1t was by vote of 20 to 9 that
the finance committee rejected

resolution demanding postpone

Drys Now Sacrificed
Pickett said, however, that the
drys are now aroused and will
carry on an unprecedented tenn
perance campaign.

read his statement, said:

He derided q claim made in a

Any revenue obtained from beer,

Representative Treadway (R0

was interested only in "beer for
revenue" and asked the bishop
why he was for submission OF
the Eighteenth Amendment IS
years ago and why he was
against it now. Cannon replied:
During that legislative tur.
mOil / found the question
was not settled by Congress.
We were fought all the way
down the line and it was only
after six years we obtained the
votes necessary.
There was no idea in Con-
gresS at that time that people

their opinion.
HAS RIGHT OF SUBMISSION"
Now I hold that every
member Of Congress is required
to vote as his constituents
desire. believe Congress has
a right to submit this question
If 1t believes the people want
such action"
Treadway recalled that women
and many others now have the
privilege of the ballot who were
not eligible to vote Is years ago
and asked Cannon if it was his
opinion if they should be allowed
to render their decision now. Can
non replied:
"They have q right to demand
that privilege. Though 1 am a
fanatic, / am opposed to q
devilish traffic, and if / were q
member of Congress. / would
place by conscience above the
wish of my constituents regard
less Of consequences. My con-
science Is more important tn me
than a seat in the Congress"
Would Follow Conscience
Treadway pressed Cannon as to
what he would do If he were a
member Of Congress and his con-
stituents demanded submission of
the Eighteenth Amendment. The
Bishop replied:
I'D 60 down the line as my
conscience dictated"
"Yes, but the other fellow
would take your seat next Ses-
SiOn," replied Treadway as the
audiences laughed.
Cannon declined to suggest any
means Of controlling liquor if it
is legalized. He said:
when a man believes that
the whole system Is Iawless and
wrong and a sin against God
and humanity, it is hard for q
man to suggest any way to con-
troll it. 1 don't believe there Is
any way of controlling the

POWER SUBSIDY

PACT AIRED
Frank Walsh Calls Mellon
Company Concession Un-
fair to New York

The State Department granted
the Aluminium Company of Amer.
lea $l,3l8.000 power subsidy in
the st. Lawrence waterway treaty,
Chairman Frank P. Walsh. Of the
New York power authority,
charged today before the Senate
Foreign Relations subcommittee
investigating the treaty signed
by Canada and the United States.
New York State would be COM
PEELED to pay a large part Of this
subsidy, Walsh declared.
Hits State Department
The refusal Of the State De-
partment to arrive at an under
standing with the New York
power authority was scored re-
peatedly by the witness.
Walsh quoted statements made
at the hearings by Brig. Gen.
George B. Pillsbury, assistant
chief CT Army Engineers. regard
ing the proposed diversion at the
Massena Power Canal owned by
the aluminium company, a Mellon
concern. He said:
This testimony makes it
clear that the works provided
for in the engineering plans,
which are made an integral
part Of the treaty, contemplate
the expenditure Of $1.318,OOO
for the purpose Of giving the
aluminium company permanent
diversion of $4,000 cubic feet

Unfair to New York
The proposed diversion, the wit
ness asserted, would have the ef-
feet of depriving the State Of New
York Of approximately one-fourth
of the United States share Of the
average flow Of the river at the
main dam"
Results of this diversion, as pic
tured by Walsh. would be:
l. To reduce by Is per cent the
American power generating capac-
ity at the main dam.
2. To increase by more than 35
per cent the cost per horsepower
OF producing the remaining power
at this dam.
