hour. Much depends upon the
thought given them by the Amer
lean people.
Between now and Dec. IS, when
the next war debt installments fall
due. a world crisis of serious pro-
portions will have to be faced by
the United States and the nations
OF Europe
Germany, according TO the Young
plan, was supposed to pay the al
lies 1917 900, 0O0 principal and in
terest, in installments over the next
fifty-nine years.
Similarly the allies are supposed
10 pay the United States on war
debt principal and interest a total
Of 22,143,OOO, 0GO.
That these huge debts are not
going to be paid, howevere, even now
is AS certain as anything in this
world can be certain. The German
people would revolt openly if their
government attempted to pay and
the allies do not intend to pay US
unless Germany pays them.
German Explosion Feared
Germany is in very real danger
Of blowing up, If she blows up,
Europe likely will blow up with her,
and the explosion would rock
America to its economic founda-
tons.
Unable to get blood out of a tur-
nip, Britain, France, and the other
entente powers, meeting at Lau-
same last June, virtually Cancelled
German reparations. Making a yir-
tue of necessity, they agreed-on
condition-to let Germany off for
TIA millions instead of the 26 bill
lions.
The condition was that the allies
would let Germany off, provided
the United States radically reduced,
or wiped the slate clean of the war
debts.
Thus the matter stands. Unless
America virtually cancels the debts,
the situation reverts to where it was
before Lausanne.
Intended as Threat
That is a serious threat, and Eu-
rope so intends it. The American
people have a total financial stake
abroad amounting to 5000 900, 900
even counting the war debts at
their present estimated cash value
of six billions-and the crash of
Europe would endanger the whole
business.
Twenty-Five billion dollars is as
much as the entire national wealth
of the United States no further
back than 1870.
Germany not only can not but
will not pay. A demand to pay
only would precipitate a crisis And
so delicately balanced is the whole
European situation today that
should she and the allies start quar-
reling again over reparations, dis
aster would be we'll nigh certain
Whereupon, world commodity
prices probably would again hit the
toboggan for new lows which would
make those of the past and pres
ent seem high.
What, then, is to be America S
policy?
Will it be the narrow, bullhead
one Of sitting tight and demand
ing payment of the last dollar, re-
CARELESS?
Or will it be realist policy, based
on facts as they actually area
policy designed to net the max
imum to all concerned in the way
to improve conditions?
Can, and will, America play her
war debt cards in a way that will
help bring back prosperity to the
American people?

Milkman in Omaha.

Tramp Trucks


 "A new sort of transportation industry seems to be growing up in this country. It is branch of the trucking business which may have had its origin several years back but has grown and spread remarkably dur ing the recent hard times. The country is full of wandering motor trucks. Mostly they carry farm produce or other goods within radius of hundred miles or SO. between country and city. or between cities But their range often extends to thousand miles or more. Citrus fruit from. Florida may thus find its way to cities on the Great Lakes there to be sold for cash and the cash invested in northern fruit or man. ufactured articles for return trip to the South, or for westward venture.
 Many of these itinerant truckmen have no regular range or definite terminal, but float about the country like tramp steamers at sea, picking up any kind of cargo they can, for delivery anywhere else, hoping then to pick up another cargo for some other des- tination. The railroads lose. good deal of traffic this way. The tramp truckmen usually make some sort of living, and at least get plenty of change and adventure. From their pioneer roaming may come a new. permanent business. Sooner or later somebody will be organizing them

Big Game At Home

That Missouri lion hunt. though 1t fz- z1ed out suggests new possibilities forpeo- pie whose idea of good time is to go out and shoot. something. If red-blooded Americans could go on safari in Missouri with couple of bruised female circus lions in truck. dumping them of whenever they came to likely looking piece of woods and then stalking and killing them in due form, they could do it in almost any state in the Union. Even in an intensively agricultural state like Iowa or Kansas corn field might make fair substitute for an African jungle. or bit of open prairie for veldt.
 Why .eonfne the game to lions? Arc there not tigers available in these days' And the pleasures of the synthetic chase might extend to other circus beasts-the rhinoceros. the hoppopotamus the zebra the giraffe. even the elephant. Think of bringing down fine tusker with an ele- plant gun making noise like cannon in the remote wilds of Connecticut or New Jersey.
 The doctrine is widely held that the United States should be sufficient unto it. self in other respects-why not in its big game hunting' We may come to have far-rs especially devoted to breeding animals for such he-man shooting.

Unsteady Bridge

In the midst of terrific political cam paign the bridge rules are suddenly changed. This is almost more than the nation can bear The changes may improve the game, making the rules more definite and the pas time more fun - if bridge can really be regarded any longer as play, and not grim and purposeful pursuit. But surely there ought to be some stability about game that absorbs most of the intellectual activity of this country.
 Whist, say specialist, is evolutionary. To bystander. it looks revolutionary There used to be straight old-fashioned whist, as dependable as checkers or chess. Then it was twisted into bridge whist. which in turn became auction bridge and contract bridge, and now contract itself has lot of new regulations. How far is this radi- calism going to go?
 There is the question of jurisdiction. too It may be all very well for the New York Whist Club to give bridge law to the world, as long as the world is docile enough to accept it. Here seems to be the only sue- cessful form of internationalism up to date But even if France and Britain tamely take their orders from New York, are free-souled Americans necessarily going to do lkewise' Congress should know about this. A sena- toral inquiry may be in order. How do Hoover and Roosevelt stand on the question!

Roosevelt As Good As Elected

Despite last minute frantic efforts of re- publican leaders to pull President Hoover's ehestnuts out of the fire, despite this see- tion of the country's indifference to Franklin D. Roosevelt. in fact despite everything, there is feeling of sweeping democratic vie-. tory in the air as the day of balloting draws near Yards of verbiage have been spouted into the. ether by loud speakers galore and reams of material have been written during the closing campaign, yet a long-sufering. patient public will decide it with one little flick of millions of hands next Tuesday at the polls.
 That's why we say there's feeling in the air of democratic victory. the public. for the most part. is saying little, while those most ly interested av doing the shouting. But, it you will look back. in every great crisis that this nation has faced. the vast body of the electorate has swung almost as pendu- lum into the column of the democratic party to be extricated from the tolls of selfish par tisanship such as it is suffering from today. We do not think this great political purging at the polls next Tuesday will come because of the effect of any one candidates special personality on the electorate. This election transcends candidates and reaches right out to the very heart of personal well-being and future welfare. That's the impetus behind the big push.
 The campaign therefore to our way of thinking is over. in fact it was over before 1t began. A public satiated with twelve years of republican mismanagement had made up its mind to make the change long before the echoes of both party conventions had died out. In both cases it was practically fore gone conclusion who the candidates would be. Had it been anyone else in either party sthe situation would still be mrch the same. for it is not so much the man who is at Stake. but the system he represents. President Hoover, unfortunately represents system in tsae United States that has failed dismally. He could not or did not try to surmount lit. Therefore. as part and party to it should De eliminated. Franklin D. Roosevelt repre- sents system, facing the future with new hopes and aspirations. The selection of the latter is the only way out. A nation senses it and will act accordingly on next Tues day as it always has and will always do pn- der similar exigencies Let's hope the change will bring with it the solaee that is sought. for if ever this country needs guiding hand 1t sorely does today.

Carnegie Had Fun While
 He Made Millions
by BRUCE CATION

' Andrew Carnegie was one indus- trialist who believed in having fun.
 Even when he was building his great fortune, he generally took at least six months off every year for recreation. He built a castle and installed q kilted piper to march around the grounds and rouse the family every morning. He had a pipe organ provide music for his meals. He delighted in featuring the English about the advantages of the American dem- ocratic system. He got the United States of Europe" idea 30 years before Briand did.
 All of this develops in a read ing of "The Life of Andrew Car negie.', a fat two-volume biogra- phy of the great steel magnate by Burton J. Hendrick.
 This Biography portrays Car negie as an exceptionally Hkable and human sort of man. It goes to elaborate lengths to present his family background, the details of his private life, his friendships on both sides of the ocean, his ideals about democracy and indus try and money and world peace.
 It is possibly a little less satis- factory in discussing his indus trial career. The biographer, per- haps, is little too full of un- critical admiration for his sub- ject. You will find in this hook no hint that Carnegie's competi- tors once looked on him as the acme of ruthlessness.
 {, As sketch of the human side of the man. however, it is ex- tremely interesting Carnegie was not anstere like, Rockefeller. self contained and unapproachable like Morgan. He was zestful, impish, undignified. He had fun.
 The biography is published by Doubleday. Doran & Co, and costs

AN AROMATIC NEWSPAPER
(Hartford Courant)

Ordinary newspapers may devote their news columns to the antics of the political candidates, the details of the latest murder and discussions of the latest divorce scandal, but not the New York Journal of Com
 merce. Tn it's aromatic columns, 1t pays little attention to what other newspapers would call news. It records the fact that "only small. quantities of guaiacol carbonate are offered in the open market, and a
 further rice in prices is expected" The bull market in gum tragacanth is recorded with enthusiasm. The seed and spice market is reported to be confused by the drop in sterl- ing, but there Is good demand for cloves, cassia, cardamoms and Dal- matian thyme. Lacquer prices
 dropped off,, but there was q strong movement in raisins. Spinach. also, is being offered in car load lots and the imminence of Halloween put a premium on pumpkins.
 The columns of this fortunat, newspaper are loaded with the ro-
 nance of a caravan from Samar- Rand. The clipper ship. with It's fragrant cargo, IS oRe with the ouinduireme on Ninevah and the stately spanish galleon, but. tho same bale of spices. the same loads
 of sandalwood and cedarwood. of ivory and perhaps of peacocls. are stilI carried owe the ship lanes of ffe world, leaving sweet-smelling records in the files of the Journal of Commerce.. Here Is q column on

The Country Is Safe

Judging by the remarks of our republi- can campaigners especially in Waterbury and throughout Connecticut. this country will immediately sink beneath tidal wave next Wednesday morning if it awakens and finds that Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York has been elected president Business will come to an immediate stand- still so these friendly little gloom producers are telling us. Even high republican offi- cials, such as the President and members of his Cabinet have been guilty Of spreading this gospel of fear. No doubt they have ginning to believe it among themselves.
 However. the good old New York Sun solidly republican and soundly capitalistic in its views and theories of government. re- flutes the charge in just about three inches of space. While the editor in the first column of his editorial page was recom- mending the reelection of President Hoover for various reasons, in the third column of the same page he was saying that Tt is safe to assume that a majority of Americans believe that the Government of the United .aOtdtGS 10 dUOFc duo DCyOuo any OhS iAdi- vidual and that, whoever is elected next Tuesday. the republic will endure"
 Need we add any more to this simple ex- position of facts. save to explain what oc- ! casioned it. It seems that the ambitious Senator Hebert from Rhode Island in fiery manner recently declared that We can thank Herbert Hoover that we have gov ernment still = Similar remarks have issued from the mouths of republican speak CTS and will continue to do so in the con- cuding days of the campaign. It is natural to find them uneonseiously echoing such claims all over the country. We presume that local g.o.p. speakers are merely carrY- ing the torch along But it needs no stretch of the imagination to see how funny such claim is.
 Neither Franklin D. Roosevelt nor Her. bert Hoover can control the destinies of the nation in the next four years True they may guide them into certain channels by their leadership and their vision, but to claim that one mans election will result in chaos. whereas the others means prosperity, etc. is simply tommyrot and so much polit- ical pap. Why don't the republicans admit that Hoover leadership has failed in so many directions that before his term was half concluded every legislative leader ih the republican ranks had deserted him. He had nobody to turn to in the Senate and only Longworth and Tilson in the House. Per sonal friendship alone held them in check. It is perfectly obvious that he cannot change his nature overnight: But a change in ad- ministration can De produced and it is for that we demand Roosevelt's election, not on

Presence of the U. S. fleet in the Pacific Ocean for annual maneuvers is having dis ouieting effect upon Japan. according to Admiral Keisuke Okada, minister of the Navy. We'll. there's only one thing left for us to do, I guess. We must immediately order our naval armament to gather in some far-away place, like the Indian Ocean or Mediterranean Sea where it won't be. visible to the highly excitable Japanese. We don't suppose that Admiral Okada realizes that the recent skirmishes in and around Shanghai have had an irritating effect upon citizens of this country. We're afraid that Japan will have to get along with the sight of our battle fleets maneuvering wherever they desire.
