PROPOSESU.S.FUNDI|
FOR WORLD COURT
Representative Linthicum
Has Plan for American
Participation in Tribunal.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.


I Participation by the United States
Government in the operations of the
World Court would be made possible
by an unusual procedure If plan now
being considered by members of the
House Foreign Affairs Committee were
adopted.
Representative Linthicum, Democrat,
of Maryland, chairman of the commit
tee, has been in conference with his
colleagues in the last few days prepar-
ing a resolution which would appro-
pirate about $4,000 a year as the
American Governments contribution
to the expenses of the Court of Inter-
national Justice. This would give the
United States use of the facilities Of
the Court and would not involve the
ratification of the amendment to the
World Court protocol known as the
Fifth Reservation" which has been
the subject of so much controversy and
which as yet has not been acted upon
by the Senate.
Resolution Expected Soon.
The resolution is expected to be in
troduced in a few days and hearings
will be held beginning this week. The
advocates of the World Court who be-
lieve this simple process can bring
America into the Court are contend
ing the United States would save a
good deal of money now spent on Spe
cial tribunals. 1t is claimed much
larger appropriations are needed when
ever a special tribunal has to be ap-
pointed. Such a tribunal is about to
be set up to settle dispute with
Sweden.
Tf tha %oro;,~. ,xo,,a-,.-~..x.4z - -
cepted the fifth reservation adopted by
the Senate as they did the other four,
the United States would now be a full
f1edged member of the court The foes
of the court have been active and have
been hoping to kill the whole protocol
next time it comes up.
The fifth reservation is based on the
hypothetical case in which the United
States might claim veto power in the
event advisory opinions are ever sought
by the court from the League of Ma,
tions. BY avoiding the fifth reserva-
tion altogether, the American Govern
ment would be in position to use the
facilities of the court in all other types
of cases. But to insure participation.
American payment of its share of the
courts expenses is essential.
Fear of Reviving Issue.
With political campaign coming on.
many Senators have felt the World
Court issue might be laid aside. The
court protocol, however. has the sup
port of President Hoover and Secretary
of State Stimson, and the advocates
think a majority vote in the House for
the present plan can be gotten rather
easily, especially since the appropria-
ton would in their judgment represent
an economy.
1t is not the amount of money spent
however, but the principle back of it,
which will cause debate If the measure
reaches the floor of Congress. 1t all de-
pends on whether the Democratic lead
ership is willing to push the matter at
this time. The plan of having the
House register its opinion on the ques-
ton Of an appropriation is looked upon
as one way to revive the discussion OF
the World Court problem and focus at
tention on it by the Senate.

Dancing and Cards
Opposed at Church
Meeting in South
Reformed Presbyterian
Synod Registered Strong
Disapproval.

BY the Associated Pre.s.
WINNSBORO, S. c., April 3O.-The
Associate Reformed Presbyterian Synod
of the South went on record today as
strongly opposed to dancing. card
playing and other forms of worldly con-
formity."
The action was taken in unanimous
adoption of the report of the eyangel-
istic work program. The report called
on ministers of the denomination to
urge members of their congregations to
refrain from worldly conformity, espe-
cially profanity, dancing, card playing
and desecration of the Sabbath"
At an earlier session the synod
adopted budget of 1000 for next
year. This was a decrease from last
years budget of S80,125.
The reduction was made, leaders Of
the church said, to keep the denomi-
nations finances on a cash basis, as
has been done SO far.
A consolidated report of presbyteries
showed the Associate Reformed Pres
byterian Church now has a total mem
bership of 1,720. This is an increase
over last year.
After another business session tonight
the meeting Of the synod will close with
memorial and devotional services to-
morrow.

BANKERS PRAISE ADVERTISING

Business and professional men who
do not advertise should read the fol-
lowing from the American Bankers
Magazine, as it might give them a
new slant on business as we'll as the
matter of building up the community
mo business man in any town
should allow a newspaper published
in his town to go without his name
and business being mentioned some
where in its columns. This does not
mean you should have a whole, half
or even a quarter page in each issue
of the paper, but your name and bust
ness should be mentioned, if you do
not use more than a 2-line space. A
stranger picking up newspaper
should be able to tell what business
is represented in a town by looking
at the paper This is the best pos
sible town advertiser. The man who
does not advertise his business does
an injustice to himself and the town.
The man who insists on sharing the
business that comes to town, but re-
fuses to advertise his own is not a
valuable addition to any town. The
life of a town depends on the live,
wide-awake and liberal advertising
business men,"

PROGRESSIVES LEADING

Though the prOgreSSiveS of the
Minnesota House of Representatives
secured 50 votes for Charles Mum
of Osseo. as speaker of the 1888 ses-
sion, it appears that the cOnserva-
tives and reactiOnaries have not yet
given up the ship. The Norton con-
trolled caucus of Nov. 18th to which
only part of the representatives
were invited. registered SO votes for
Andrew Finstuen of Kenyon as speak
err, while the Mum forces registered,
as above stated. 50 votes on Nov. Goth
in the conference to which all the
members of the House were invited.
The progresSives on this record vote
have ii more than the reactiOnarieS.
Out of the five representatives pres
ent but not voting on Nov. Goth. at
least three will vote for Mum on Jan.
3 when the Legislature cOnvenes and
when the controversy of speakership
is finally settled. Another ten or
more are also expected to go for
Mum, SO there will likely be 80 or
more votes for Mum on the opening
day of the session.
Mr.. Finstuen. according to the daily
cede defeat, being quoted as saying:
Il know that number who voted for
Mr.. Mum are my friends, and l be-
lieve that eventually they will vote
for me when the House is organized"
This controversy however. is not a
matter of friendship. Both of the
speaker candidates have many friends
in the Legislature. and if friendship
was to be the deciding factor, few, if
any members would care to vote
against either man, but there are
policies and issues at stake. Those
who have opposed the policies advO-
Gated and championed by. Governor
Olson, and for which the people so
decidedly expressed their choice, are
the Legislative members that are
backing Finstuen for speaker. On
the other side, we have the advocates
| of the Governor Olson program back
ing Mum for speaker.
So far the progressives have won
| the very important and original Skin
mish for control of the lower House
in securing majority vote for the
progressive candidate as speaker. The
| fight will naturally be carried on to
| the first day when the Legislature
convenes, and when the final vote
on speaker is taken. The progress
sives with the sanction of the voters
are determined that the governor
shall have a friendly legislature, that
| is organized to promote and carry
through his program. See-sawing has
been going on long enough, and the
people are firing of it. They want
action, and determined and definite
action. With chairmen on the var
ious committees chosen by the speak
err, who are pledged to furtherance
of liberal program, the chances for
the passage of such legislation is
greatly enhanced.

HAS FARM RELIEF WORKED.

Editor ASkov American:
Ludwig MOsb9k, in recent issue of
the American, gave us some figures
to show that if one had borrowed
money in 1920 to buy a bushel of po-
tatoes and had paid the debt i'm 1892
il would take Sc bushels of potatoes
to pay the debt The reason for this
condition of affairs is not an over
production of the lowly tuber but to
an Overgrown condition of our gold
dollar. The man who bought that
buShel of potatoes, and you can find
plenty like him, owned a good quarter
section farm free of debt. He wanted
modern dwelling, so they decided to
borrow $4,000 from the Joint Shark
Land Bank For their $4,000 mort
gage they didn't get $4,000 cash, but
they got piece of blue sky (stocks)
paid some fees, and had the pleasure
of spending about $4,000 On or be-
fore Nov. s. 1882 the bank fOreclOsed
and took the farm lat big loss?
When the loan was made the bank
issued bonds secured by that mort
gage to the full amount of the mort
gage. Now a $4,000 farm has come
to be a $4,000 farm because that is
what it was foreclOsed for. The
Land Bank then sells the farm for
$4,000, so a $4,000 farm has gotten
to be a $4,000 farm, the land banks
price.
The bank takes the $4,000 and with
it retires $4,000 of its own bonds
(nOw worth 25 cents on the dOllar)
making $4,000 by the transaction
The new purchaser gives a mortgage
for $4,000 but has to buy Sc of that
amount in the company, or $3.50 with
which the bank can retire another
81 900 of it's bonds. Is purchaser No.
2 any better off? Statistics will show
that farm mortgages have been re-
duced 500 by this transaction. In 1920
Mr.. Farmer figured thusly: 1t will take
about ten thousand bushels of corn,
wheat. or potatoes to pay the $4,000
mortgage. At Present prices farmer
No. = will have to sell about 10000
truck loads of corn or potatoes before
his $4,000 farm is clear of debt.

CHRISTMAS SEALS FOR
CHRISTMAS

Advertisements herald Christmas
gift suggestions and postmasters
rightfully say mail early" All this
is essential to the true Christmas
spirit, but has it ever occurred to all
of us that We can make our Christ
mas shopping a happier investment If
we will seal the packages and letters
we send with Christmas seals? Buy
lots of them, for they not only look
cheerful on the packages but they
will make you and yours cheerful in
time to come and will make thousands
cheerful in the immediate future with
medical help to alleviate tuberculosis
suffering.
During times of depression such as
we are passing through now. it is alb
solutely necessary to keep up the fight
against deadly diseases. Diseases
thrive in hard times when thousands
of people are in want. When they
are under-nourished it is easy for
disease to make its stand and after it
drive away.
Wonderful strides have been made
during the past several years in COM
batting and overcoming the tubercu-
losis plague but in spite of this, tu
berculosis continues to be the great
people of our country. 1t kills more
people between Is and As, statistics
show, than any other disease. One
out cf every three young women who
die between 15 and 30 is victim of
tuberculosis and it is estimated that
ed States have been infected with
tuberculosis. Unless discovered early
and protected many of these boys and
girls will occupy the sanatOriums of
the future.
Medical science has provided suf-
warfare to make possible complete
victory To have the battle stopped
now because of lack of money would
not only be disappointing but
catastrophe.
Every individual should not only
feel that his holiday letters and pack
ages are incomplete unless bedecked
with the little Christmas Seals, but
should remember that mo home is
safe from tuberculosis until all homes
are safe" No one should contribute
solely with the thought in mind that
it is for charity but with the knowl-
edge that it is an investment in self
protection.
