regular jobs. Even if they happened to be in position to earn more they could not get it.
 Expediency Unsets Ideals
 Because of the present high level of prices this has resulted in many sacrifices and sometimes in actual want on the part of those whose responsibility is greatest in the So- viet State.
 Many Communists have found it necessary to increase their regular earnings by writing and featuring, a practice which the party permits provided the recipient donates to the party half of the money he gets on the side. But of course these men were unable to give their undivided energy to their regular jobs.
 A more serious consideration Is that many well equipped party members have refused to accept important posts because as assist ants they commanded just as much pay as their chiefs without having to shoulder the responsibility, much feared here, which goes with every high position.
 Stalin Gives Cue
 Above all these reasons, however and giving the political bureau the highest sanction to consider the matter was the edict of Stalin, last June, that the system of equal pay for all should be abolished in the Soviet State That rapidly is being accomplished in all forms of in- dustry and agriculture.
 This compromise of communiStic principle with capitalistic practice also was dictated by economic ex- pediency for Stalin realized that maximum production could not be had in the present state of devel- opment without distinguishing be- tween the ability of skilled and non-skilled workers by monetary standards.

OPENS FRESH CHAPTER IN POWER SUIT
Radio Owners, Cut of from Service, File Suit
 Against Owner

A new chapter in the Skagway power service vs. radio owners was started yesterday when Charles Nye, President of the Home Power Company, was arrested on war rant charging him with discrim- mating aganst two of the com pany's patrons by cutting off their electric current service.
 Nye, it is alleged, cut off the service because an aerial for radio receivers crossed the company's service wires. Louis Rapuzzi and George Smith, who were cut orr from the companys distribution service, filed the compalnt against Nye.
 They charged him with discrim- ination in violation of the Ter ritorial municipal code of 1923. Nye, following a preliminary hearing before the United States Con- missioner in Skagway was bound over to the Federal grand Jury and his bond was set at $500 which was promptly furnished.
 Last month the City of Skagway cctained a temporary restraining order from the local Federal dis trict court to prevent him from turning off the electricity in the town and from discontinuing ser vice to patrons owning radio re- ceivers. A hearing was held be- fore Judge Justin w. Harding to show cause why the order should net be made permanent.
 While the Court held the City government had no right to seek an order and that it was up to each individual customer of the power company to seek relief yesterday Judge Harding handed down a decision making the in- junction permanent as regards w J. Mulvihill, Mayor of Skagway Lee c. Gault, City Treasurer, and Dr. P. J. Dahl, all personally, whc had made showing.

But were you? No, you

when you were able to have the

you weren't happy. After the

between the political repre-

tions and the political rep
resentatives of the Ameri-

the statement Of policy by

well wonder why the debtor

Senate Against
Further Concessions

Running through the COM
ments Of members Of the
Senate is the idea that Eng
land, in the settlement
made, failed to get terms as
generous as those accorded
to the other nations. This
was hardly fair. England was
forced, during the war, to
finance some of her allies.
Her burdens were therefore
heavier. And in the settle
ment she received less con-
sideration than the others.
This was not due to any
dis position to give her
harsher treatment than the
others. She did not ask as
the rest. Lloyd George has
never ceased criticizing
Stanley Baldwin for his
failure to insist on better
terms than England $
spokesman said his govern
ment could meet.
But, since then, England
has been harder hit by the
depression than any of her
leading allies, and some of
the Senators appear willing
to consider a new basis of
settlement with her. Thus
Senator Glenn says that
perhaps Great Britain's
debt was refunded upon un-
just terms meaning in
comparison. And Senator
Gore seems willing to con-
slider action "to place Eng
land on the same footing
with France as to percent
age to be paid"
Aside from this English
phase, the sentiment in the
Senate is decisively against
any further concessions-at
least until the debtor ma
tions take steps drastically
to reduce their budget pro-
visions for armies and
navies. Senator Jones re-
fleets the common view
when he says:
IF European nations can
continue huge expenditures
for armaments and war
preparations, they ought to
pay their debts now due to
the United States according
to their respective agree
ments."
The Washington times., 1932-11-19

what England and France
will not do.
There are among the
smaller nations some that
probably cannot meet their
obligations -: this time, and
some may never pay the
debts they owe.
The resentment in Amer
lea is due in a measure to
the disposition of all the
debtors to unite in a COM
mon demand for a common
concession regardless of the
varying conditions of the
different nations.
A private creditor may
have numerous d btors.
Some of these may be bank
rupt and some possessed of
the means to meet their
obligations. That private
creditor may, because of
necessity, wipe out the debts
of those who actually can
not pay. But the moment all
the debtors get together,
with those who can pay in
cluded, and make a common
demand that the debts be
wiped out, the creditor is
ant to have resentments

THE immediate reaction
l. to the notes from Great
Britain and France, asking
for more concessions in the
debts, leaves no doubt as
to the response of Congress.
There is not the least proba-
bility that there will be an
extension of the moratorium;
and there is no disposition
to consider further reduc-
tions. This does not mean
that responsible statesmen
have lightly brushed the
notes aside; it does mean
that nothing new has de-
