BORAH APPEAL
FOR j. s. RELIEF
ST|RS SENATE
Senator Makes One of Great
est Speeches of Career in
Plea for Hungry

The dramatic demand Of
Senator Borah (R.) of Idaho
for Federal Intervention to
prevent starvation among the
nations unemployed today
threw some doubt over the
outcome of the battle for
$750.OO0.000 direct relief bill.
Administration leaders we're re-
luctant to force a final vote on
the Insurgent direct relief meas
ure or the Democratic substitute
bill. since the Senate was OBJ
viously stirred by Borah's appeal.
The Idaho Senator waived aside
all objections to the bill, charg-
ing it was the Governments high
est duty to keep its citizens from
starving.
Clash With FesS
Borah overwhelmed Senator
Fess, Republican national chair
man, who led the opposition. Fess
declared Federal aid wasn't nee
essary, that direct relief would
impose the dole on America, and
that unemployment relief could
be handled by local communities.
Borah pointed out the reports
laid before the La Toilette unem-
ployment Relief Committee, re-
vealing many cases of actual star
vation. He said these reports
proved local communities we're
not caring for their own, and
then he demanded direct relief
whether you call it a dole or
not"
BOrah in Great Speech
Even opponents of the legisla.
ton conceded Borah had made
one of the greatest speeches
heard in the Senate in recent
years. 1t may even overcome
opposition to the bill.
A decision on this bill will not
settle the issue of economic
relief. A new bill has been
introduced by Senator Lewis CD
of Illinois, creating a $500,00 900
fund for loans to industrial and
agricultural manufacturers and
employers of labor.

One Irish Drink

GILBERT sELDEs My only DETECTION from the strict
rule of Scotch service held bottle of John
Jameson's Irish whisky, which to me from one
of Dublns most distinguished sons, Mr. James Joyce
1t not tribute of friendship but an exhibit in
trial. Mr. Joyce held that Irish whisky misunder-
stood and unapprecated largely because the best blends
brands not exported. He scoffed at my theory
connection with peat. He set it forth as his con-
sidered opinion that the flavor from the water
used in the manufacture the water of the Lfey River
which through Dublin, river charged with the
alluvial deposits of all of Ireland and, incidentally

Rye and Bourbon, if you prefer) are, to the
drinker of Scotch too aromatic If they weren't ntox
eating they would be good sodafountain drinks. The
devoted drinker of whisky wants taste which is not
flavor and he gets this in Scotch (He gets it also in
good brandy, which means French brandy) What he
suffers from is bad handling Scotch if it is good
be drunk straight with satsfaction but if it is diluted
it should be diluted with charged water not with plain
water The reason quite clear plain water is actually

the carbonate gas, and the liquor The result with
little ice is very pleasant 1t is sovereign against

solvent of bad temper and the aWkwardness OF meeting
strangers, and it is good drink
Not So Lonely
My steady complaint against prohibition is that it has
taken minds off the actual drink and made think
of secondary problems-getting the drink paying for
it, hiding it. testing it, and suffering from it. 1t has,
however, done thing; made drinking even more
sociable than it was Whether this is an advan-
tage am not sure. In early days used to hear of
the misery of the lonely drinker; to take a drink by
yourself considered first step to drunkard's
grave bad drinking before breakfast
The point the critics lost was that the moment man
has drink he is longer lonely. l do not that
he is drunk and converses with imaginary friends! I
simply that there is warmth and friendiness in
the glass; and that the liquor binds him to the world
of all drinking What is more, if man lacks COM

IF the depression keeps up we snaI!
soon hear of Swedish spaghetti and
become persuaded that the world is
standing on it's head. The green beer
does not fascinate me so much as the
British pretension to have exclusive
rights on the name of whisky. Their
argument is that the special char
acter of that drink depends on the
British climate, and, unpatriotic as it
may seem, l am inclined to agree
with them. Not to put too fine
point upon the matter, hold that
the whisky we call Scotch is the only
palatable whisky. I do not expect to
show my face in Kentucky for sew
eral years.
