GOOD SAMARITAN STILL AT WORK

Much has been written about the indomnabte
spirit OF the afflicted people In the drought area a
western North Dakota and eastern Montana and the
spirit OF optimism that prevails among 4 people faced
with almost unsurmountable difficulties, but nothing
more expressive Of that spirit has come out Of it aI
tnan the following from the pen OF Edgar L Syvernd,
q former Cavalier county man who now resides at
Dagmar, Montana:
The drought brought famine; the famine brought
humanity. That is our harvest for this year-humanity.
Though we have lost our basic crop we have reaped
another one that is far richer in spiritual values. We
are the richer by gaining this human touch, something
deeper and finer than the material crop.
As one OF the local relief workers remarked re-
Gently on seeing SO mech being done for MS. There's
a lot of good people IN the world, after ALL By com
ing In contact with this work one begins to realize the
significance of this observation An emergency bring.
nome to us some Of these things as nothing else could.
therefore We approach this holiday season with
the profound feeling that the Good Samaritan is stHl
at work, even out here in the drought area."1Caval-

AS c. 0. P. LEADER
Senator Mentioned Promi-

BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

Senator James E. Watson, Republic
an leader of the Senate, is being boosted
for the Craftsmanship of the Republican
National Committee by some Of the G..
o. p leaders. Senator Watson retires
from the Senate March A.
The Indiana Senator. however, is not
the only prominent Republican whose
name is under discussion for this Office,
now held by Everett Sanders, who, by
the way. has not at all indicated that
he intends to step out Of the position.
Col Frank Knox, publisher of the Chi
cago Daily News, is another who has
many admirers, and Charles D. Hilles,
Republican national committeeman
from New York, is another. Vice Pres
ident Charles Curtis has been discussed
as possible chairman, too, after he
leaves Office.
Reorganization Discussed.
AL present reorganization OF the Re-
publican party is in the air. That's as
far as 1t goes today. despite the large
amount Of conversation that has taken
place in Washington on this subject
within the last week. Nevertheless, 1t
is very definitely under consideration
A group of Republican leaders met
with Senator Hatfield Of West Virginia
and Mr. Hilles for luncheon last week,
and it is reported that they talked the
situation over, discussing candidates for
the Craftsmanship of the National Com
mittee with the idea that Everett San
ders would retire after March A. when
President Hoover goes out Of Office In
the group were Senators McNary of
Oregon. Watson of Indiana. Moses of
New Hampshire, Keen of New Jersey.
Hastings of Delaware and Steiwer of
oregon.
The lunch was given by Mr. Hilles.
Senator Hatfield, who is chairman Of
the Republican Senatorial Campaign
Committee, denied today that the group
talked over reorganization of the Ma
tional Committee. He admitted, how
ever. that he had heard mention of the
possible candidacy of Senator Watson
for the Office of chairman, Mr. Hilles
and others.

new FRENCH CRISIS
UNFORESEEN HERE
u. S. Officials Regard Paris
Action as Making Issue
of Minor Matter.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

With the fall of the Herriot cabinet
looming in the background the entire
settlement of the debt question as far
as France is concerned has taken a
dramatic turn.
According to news received late this
morning from Paris. the principal cause
of the difficulties Premier Herriot Is
encountering at present in the Cham
ber are due to the lively exchange Of
notes between Great Britain and the
United States last Sunday evening.
Until this unlocked for incident oc-
Cured Herriot was certain to obtain
the approval of the Chamber to make
the December payments with restric-
tions. But Herriot, who is greatly in
tereSted in international cooperation.
looked upon this payment as matter
of minor consequence. Since a good
deal of feeling has been aroused in
France as consequence OF the eX-
change of notes between the debtor gov
ernments and the United States, in
order to appease the lively feelings in
the Chamber he decided to make reser-
vations when the 1000 900 we're paid,
but bearing in mind that such reserva-
tions would not be well received in the
United States. the French cabinet
drafted a note which was considered
very mild The chances of obtaining
the approval of the Chamber were re-
ported to be good.
Proposal Is Rejected.
The Sunday incident seems to have
aroused the French Parliament. and
today, when Herriot in accordance with
the promise made to him by the i'm
portant members of the Foreign Rela-
note would be accepted. submitted the
draft to these two important COM
mitteeS they were rejected.
The position of the French govern
ment regarding the payment of the
December instalment can be compared
with that of the United States regard
ing the revision of the debts. Neither
government has the power to do any,
thing without the consent of the re-
spective parliaments.
1t is true that the French Chamber
has ratified the Mellon -Berenger debt
funding agreement. But when that
ratification was made the French
Chamber added a reservation providing
tnat IN tne case OF germany ceaSlng
to pay reparations, France would in
turn cease to pay her creditors This
reservation does not concern the United
States in the least and is regarded as
an internal affair of France, not III
f1uencing in any way the debt-funding
agreement reached between the two
countries. But it does tie the hands
of the French government, inasmuch
as it has to go to the Chamber and
ask for the necessary appropriations 70

The United States will send no
reply to the latest note from
Great Britain on the war debts
After repeated conferences to-
day between President Hoover,
Secretary Stimson and Secretary
Mills, the impression in informed
quarters was distinctly that the

now understand each others
position.
No reason is seen in official
circles for the United States to
reject the payment expected from
Great Britain on Thursday.
1t appeared here that the ex-
change of notes between the two
countries in regard to the debts
would now cease-at least until
after the payment date.

PARIS, December l3 P.-Premler
Herriots government seemed seriously

the United States with reservations.
Before the opening of the session
both the Foreign Affairs and Finance

difficulty and voted in favor OF de-
ferring payment until such time as the
United States consents to an mterna-

This decision was followed up during
