Rev MT Locke
 At the Y Forum
Described Three Stages of Christian Spirit Yester-
 day Afternoon

Rev Oscar l.. Locke of Oakville described the three stages of de- velopment of Christmas spirit at the Y forum yesterday afternoon.
 Magic, fancy and unreality make up the childhood stage while as a person natures he realizes he is living in a cold, mechanical world and begins to deal in realities.
 The third step is when ones im- agitation takes one beyond the. cold reality and reveals a spiritual vi- sion such as that garnered by the poet, the prophet and great mu- sicians and artists.
 Christmas spirit is mot a material thing. but spirit of joy, sense of peace and the love and goodwill shown to the world by Jesus Christ.

Previous to this case, William Brown of West Main street, with an assessment of $500 had the honor of being nominated for the largest contribution of the day.. Attorney Frank r. Guilfoile pleaded that $500 be the maximum for Stokes, but tn view of the state- ments made by the United States district attorney Judge Thomas placed 1t at $400. Attorney Gull foile stated that MT Stokes had retired from the liquor bushes to establish an undertaking firm.
 Brown and Stokes cases and others tried yesterday were left overs' from the sensational raid made here last September by q squad of 35 agents recruited from Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts.

What we are aifl1t ing at is to have people of mod4 est means fill in the gaps left open by those who find it out of the question to continue contributing the usual amount, year in and year out.

 The substance of this article was explained to another citizen who handles money in large sums share of 1t his own, but the bulk of 1t in his Keeping for others. He heartily endorsed what had been said and remarked that he knew of no other remedy, except you turn every needy person over 10 the city. In support of his conten- tion he pointed to the vast sum raised for the Mutual Aid Fund and said that if it had not been for this the city government would have been forced to issue short term notes a year ago to meet the situation that came upon the conn
 munity on account of the depres- ! sion.
 I This is the way two public spir- ited citizens of large means look at the question and while one would
 say it is not possible to take any

 is nothing more than an effort to

 not be hampered in their accuss

 the subject, some claiming that it would result in resumption of | business which would more than
 offset the value of the billions fu

HOOVER TO SEND
 MESSAGE ON THE
 WAR DEBT CASE
Whether He Will Ask for Some Leniency or Will Insist on Full Payment Is Unknown
By HENRY r. MISSELWITZ Copyright, 1932, by United Prcss)

(Copyright, 1882, by United Prcss) Washington, Dec 7-- (UPf- President Hoover Is understood to feel that recent appeals of debtor nations for further downward re- vision of war debts have hardened the American people against re- opening the problem.
 He may, the White House has indicated, send special debt mes- sage to congress after completion of discussions growing out of the latest British and French pleas. These notes, made public last week asked for suspension of the Decem- Der 15 payments pending general reconsideration of the problem. MT Hoover is understood to have found that the notes which were designed to appeal to the Ameri- can public have fallen on deaf ears, so far as the man In the street is concerned. Whether these notes have changed MT Hoover's earlier decision to insist upon De- cember 15- payments has not been indicated.
 The chief executive also has denied to intimates that he made. any problems to former Premier Pierre Laval of France for down. ward debt revision or cancellation provided Europe read5usted Ger man separations.
 An impression that such prom ises were made in their historic conversations last year Is reported to be widespread in France. MT Hoover's understanding appears to L. ..t.. Ia [. t<ss xsfhkNh Laval himself noted down in his handwritten reports of their con- versations. These were described in a dispatch this week from Ralph Heinzen. United Press Paris corre- ,spondent.
 MT Hoover's attitude is that the laval statement was carefully worded by himself and Laval so as not to cause any misunderstand- ings later.
 in paragraph of the joint statement issued in Washington. Oct 25, 1891, they declared: ''An informal and cordial dis cussion has served to outline with greater precision the nature of the problems. It has not been the purpose of either of us to engage in commitments binding our gov ernments. but rather. through de- velopment of fact. to enable each country to act more effectively In it's own field"
 The president felt that possibly some concessions should be made In some cases among debtor na- tons, but he contends that is en- tirely different from offering furth- CT revision of debts in exchange for a reparations accord at Lausa- ue which might retore Fermany ns a prospective mrrket for Amer lean and other goods.

One hears a good deal of talk these times about the high rate of taxation, but people who believe taxation should be reduced must not lose sight of the fact that were 1t not for what is being done by the churches and other organiza- tions, not to say anything about the generous giving of private tn- diyiduals, the burden of taxation would be much heavier than 1t Is.
 Talking with a man who contri- butes much to charity, the writer of this article was informed that so-called wealthy people have been doing a great deal in Waterbury to alleviate suffering among the poor, but that the time has come when some other plan will have to be de- yised to raise funds for this pur- bose, else all of it will have to come direct from the city, for the large donors are beginning to stag ger under the load.
 Asked if he favored the Com munity chest plan, he said he was not quite sure about that, because 1t left openings for so many to shirk their duty. A new plan is un- der consideration, he said, which if 1t can be worked out according to those who have 1t in mind, will make 1t an obligation on every cit izen to contribute pro-rata share of his income to a fund devoted to charity. He believed this the only way proportioned burdens could be laid on each individual.
 He held that you could not do this by a tax rate, because all cit izens are not included in the grand list, and could not be reached by a tax levy. Besides some non-rate payers, he said, have more means than many who are owners of homes, it not being unusual to find the tenant in better circumstances than the landlord. The aim, he said was to reach all, and in this way the burden would not come toe heavy upon anybody.
 The gentleman evaded a direct reply to the question: "Is 1t true that a large number of citizens formerly wealthy, are now f1nan- cially embarrassed? ?" He laughed at this and disposed of it in this way: "Not quite as bad as that perhaps, but money is not coming to them as easy as it used to, there fore they find 1t necessary to re- duce their activities in various
