Millions OF Slaves
In All Parts OF World

GENEVA.-Recent exposures of
slavery in Liberia bring to mind the
fact that it also exists in many
other nations.
Slavery is relatively widespread in
China, Arabia and Abyssinia, and
while figures on the number of
slaves in the world are not avail
able, rough estimates place the num-
Der from 100000 to 6,090,9&0.
In September, 1880, Lord Cecil
told the League of Nations Assembly
that the number probably was 5,000,-
900, but the attention given to the
subject since then as result of the
Liberia revelations may have led to
substantial decreases. Since 1922
the League has obtained from all of
its members their notifications of the
anti-slavery covenant adopted in
1925.

at loss to understand why Hope
had to be brought into the position
of Superintendent of Buildings and

In a statement sent out to the Ne

states: "This special Alumni Com

A Few Facts at Last
The Truth On Government Salaries

survey of Federal employees and their salaries recently
made by the Bureau of the Budget brilliantly iumnate the
ury passages down which would walk the advocates of
a slash in Government pay.
Broken down into salary groups the figures thoroughly
reute the ofmade charge that Uncle Sam supports his
workers in luxury that he wastes the taxpayers in
exorbtant salaries
Probably the startling revelation made by the COM
paton that than 100000 civilian Government workers
are paid less than 81 900 year.
Are these the 'prncey salaries which members Of
Congress want cut?
More than half of the civilian workers found in the
classification receiving less than 1900 year.
Do the Congressman want to balance do they think
they balance the budget by lashng at these meage
salaries?
More than half of the total amount paid by the Govern
en for civilian salaries goes to and women who ndl
vidually are paid less than $4,000.
One suggestion which has been made by the slashers IS
that all salaries of than $4,000 be cut.
In the light of the budget bureau figures the value OF
this suggestion stands clearly For shown tnat tner
only 4736 civilians outside Of Congress and the judiciary
who are paid than $4,000 year. =.
The absurdy of making the proposed cut apply to tne
military and naval forces is also shown by the bureaus
survey
The SURVEYS shows the entire 290913 in these SER
vices 22067S receive less than $1,000 per annum.
These facts indsputable.
They present picture of the salary status OF uncle
Sans workers. It is picture which IN It's entreV mas
never before been painted.
The figures show clearly that the United states not e
travagant in remunerating its faithful employees

Build Up National Defense
The People Look to Congress for Action

The American people look Congress these days of in
ternaiona crisis for the leadership they have sought in vain
from the Administration
They want their navy built up their army built up and
their service built adequately to defend this country
and its lawful interests.
It is waste words in blaming those who
responsible the present state Of American defenses
It is late bewa the policy which has put reliance In
the League and the League Court and the Kellogg Pact
instead of in ships, guns planes and men.
late say that the Administration bears the bur-
den of guilt laundering into situation for which it is al
most criminaly unprepared
only thing worth considering how to bring the
national defense par quickly and effectively posi-
be and the only agency that consider and accomplish
1t is Congress.
The defects in military and naval machine have been
recited ad nauseam.
The responsible of the land and air forces have
placed the facts repeatedly before the Government
They have drawn program after program which has
been scrapped by the Government
Hence is incumbent the legislative branch Of
the Government to override the executive branch and give
the nation the defense machinery that is vital to its safety
The navy must be built to treaty strength not allowed
to fall to pieces, is now the

Jobs for 4,5OO,OOO
A Prosperity Loan Would Provide Them

Senator Robert Toilette Jr Of Wisconsin gives the
country convincing for issuing in bonds
to restore prosperity
Such bond ISSUE in Mr.. La Foete's opinion is more
necessary than the reconstruction finance pro-
iect which is in operation.
The reconstruction fund the Senator says will check bank
failures and ease the financial situation is ad
vantage-but it will not reach the heart of the problem
with which the country is confronted.
That problem is to recreate the purchasing power of
and only large scale prosperity loan can do it.
AS Mr.. Fa Toilette says:
"The $5,5 OOc public wOrks bill hGOe in
troduced UUould, If enacted put purchasing pOWer in
the hands of $50 900 persons out of WOrk. 1t
uUOuld up industries filling orders for materials
to be used in construction work, and also for
sumner goods, Which needed and sUOuld be pur-
chased by those giUen employment directly and in
directly.
"The hotation of the prosperity bonds WiH bring
out of boarding the 81 5OO,OOO,OOO idle and it
IUould put DOrk part of the $2S,OOO 100000 un-
employed in savings banks"
The bonds furthermore could easily be sold to the public

used during the Great War to float Liberty loans.

Tonight, for the first time,
the audience has hissed. She
crawls to her room-broken.
There, alone, she gives way to
her despair =. the terrible
despair of the woman whose
youth has passed and for whom
life holds nothing more.
Women Are Like That
Men gaze curiously at that
scene in the play Grand Ho-

why a woman should make
such fuss over something
that didn't matter. Now, if
she had lost a big block of

be different. But to grow so
desperate merely because there

then-Women are like that.
Men gaze curiously at desper-
ate Grusinskai. but women
do not gaze curiouSly. Women
understand. They know that
despair. Even in America,
women know that despair.
Here are hundreds of thou
sands of American women who
have desired and who have
won equal rights with men.
They share schools with those
men. They share jobs and
careers and adventures. They
may and do hunt lions in
Africa, sit in the Senate.
They wear police uniforms,
chart stars, run hospitals, build
bridges, jail racketeerS-do
practically anything on earth
that a man does with equal
zest and profit.
AND YET IN HER SECRET
HEART OF HEARTS NEARLY
EVERY AMERICAN WOMAN
FEELS THAT HER LIFE is
OVER AT 40!
Her grandma felt that way
of course. Her grandma had
a right to. She held her place
as a female. Beloved. Cher
ished. Revered. But just a
female, nevertheless. And moth
ing else but. Naturally gray
hairs and wrinkles put a con-
siderable cramp in her career.
"The fatal forties"-they were
indeed to that grandma.
BUT WHY SHOULD HER
GRANDDAUGHTER FEAR
GRAY HAIR?
WHY SHOULD LIFE, FOR
HER, LOSE IT'S ZEST WHEN
ROMANCE COOLS?
Why should you, Mary Jones,
feel that lump in your throat
when you remember the days
when you were 20? Why should
you, under your carefully care
less laugh, feel fear Tightening
around you like a band, as you
watch the years pass?
Very Much Alive
Life over 40? But you'll still
be very much alive after 40.
Quite as healthy. Just as in
telligent. Probably freer than
you have been for years. All
the opportunities that are open
to a man over 40 will be open
to you. There will be nothing
to hold you back but your own
laZineSs, your own cowardice. ..
AND YOUR OWN SILLINESS.
AND THERE'S NOTHING ON
EARTH SILLIER THAN AN
AMERICAN WOMAN'S FEAR
OF FORTY NOR MORE

USUAL SLUMP.
But a woman isn't physi-
cally fit over 40," you say.
No, and neither is a man.

Swindling in England;
High Finance" Here

In many ways England
treats its people better than
we do here. It would not
be possible for the bankers
there, with governmental
sanction or without it, to
flood the country with Latin
American bonds which they
knew probably would be de-
faulted. That sort of thing
in England is called swim
ding; in America, with
bated breath, we say it is
"high finance. -
The story of the Peruvian
loan is ug1y-very ugly. The
former commercial attache
at Lima told Senator John
sons committee that he was
rebuked for telling the De-
partment of Commerce that
the bonds would be de-
faulted within five years and
the investors would be lucky
to get ten cents on the dol
lar. That is denied by Sec
retary Lamont in a letter to
Senator Smoot. Thus there
is an issue of veracity be-
tween the two.
But assuming that the
Secretary is right, there
seems to be no doubt that
the son of the President of
Peru received a handsome
compensation of close to
half a million for services
rendered in getting the loan
through. And there is an
other thing: If none of the
governmental agents Of the
United States in South
America warned our Gov
ernment against some Of
these loans as certain to be
defaulted it would be inter-
esting to know why they
didn't. just what are they
paid for? How do they
earn their salaries? Why
didn't the Government s rep
resentatives in Lima report
to Washington on actual
conditions and probabilities!
