beauty.
In the forest rugged rocky
ridges alternate with hill,
streams and mountain lakes,
one of them Lake Constance.
There are leafy woods, orchards,
vineyards, water falls and cas-
ties, smiling valleys and frown-
ing mountains with craggy sum-
mits. There are spas set in al
most unearthly beauty. There
are university towns famed in
song and story. And SO it is
easy to realize why SO many
mixers take tours through the
Black Forest region.
The towns of Baden are es-
pecially interesting. Among the
famous educational towns ale
Heidelberg and Freiberg, each
with its university of renown.
Then there's karlsruhe with
its technical college, the Oldest
in Germany, and its college of
music, with students from every
where.
The old and the new blend
agreeably in the Black Forest
district. At Lake Constance is
the home of the Zeppelin, and
there are plenty of regatta fix
lures listed during the summer.
But not far from Constance
are districts where the inhabi-
tants still wear their traditional
costumes. Each district has it's
own dress, with headdresses of
strange hape and material.
In some parts, men and wom-
en- wear high and cylindrical
straw hats, while others wear
straw hats that are low and
large and decorated with hang
ing ribbons. The women of the
GutaCh valley region wear
quaint pompom hats, while in
Hanau the, hats have broad
streamers with long fringes.

Mr.. Mellon; or that the
spokesmen of the Admins
tration in Washington had
not been in communication
with the elusive professor"
since his arrival.
Tell it to the marines
We never have had any
doubt that Mr.. Hoover is
committed to the transfer of
a large part, if not all, of
the debts to the American
taxpayers.
That is the reason the
platform Mr.. Mills dictated
at Chicago at the behest of
the President was singularly
silent on the subject of
cancellation. :"
If he had been as much
opposed to the transfer of
the debts as the Democrats
he would have had it in his
platform; and if he favors
the transfer he would not
have it in his PLATFORM
because that would have
made an issue and the peo-
pie would have had a chance
in the election.

Mills, Mellon, Hoover
Know "Skinner's" Mission

Thus is the American
Democracy - theoretically
speaking-to be kept in ig-
norance of a matter involv-
ing billions of dollars and
the increasing of the taxa
tion burdens of the Ameri-
can people-until after the
election.
Secrecy in such matters is
the sword that stabs
Democracy to death.
When Mr.. Mellon went to
London as ambassador we
said in these columns that he
went as the representative,
not of the American people,
but of the international
bankers, to negotiate and
plan the transfer of the debts
Of the debtor nations to the
backs of our own people.
Diplomacy moves in an at
mosphere of darkness, and
darkness is necessary to the
deed.
Secretary Mills and Mr..
Mellon - and Mr.. Hoover
know precisely the mission of
"Prof. Skinner" !" and the
American people have a right
to know from them. That,
and the Administration g
plans on the debts-after the
election. For this is a matter
of such concern that in COM
mon decency it cannot be
slipped over on the people in
secret, behind their backs,
and without giving them, in a
self governing nation, the
right to pass upon that plan
at the polls.

Increase Taxes to
Balance Budget

The international banking
group here is for Mr.. Hoover
in the election. Their real
opinion Of Mr.. Hoover ca
pacity for leadership was
being quite frankly ex-
pressed some months ago.
Since there has been a
change in their attitude, and
they are realists and not SEN
timentalists, it follows that
some understanding has been
reached with him. If that
understanding involves the
interests of the great mass of
the American people they
have a right to know what it
is-before the election.
A certain amount of money
is due from England on the
loans.
The English h budget,
strangely enough, made no
provision for it.
Our own budget has this
money included; and if we
do not get it there was no
balancing of the budget and
Mr.. Mills knew it.
Even with this money paid,
we learn that the govern
mental income has so fallen
off that up to this time we
are running 4OO,O0O,0OO be-
hind. We shall have to again
increase taxes if the budget
is to be balanced, and if, in
addition, we must increase
taxes to make up for the loss
of the anticipated payment
from England the taxes will
go up just that much more.

Vulgar Public
Justly Curious

Ogden Mills, Secretary OF
the Treasury, asked if he
had conferred with Montagu
Norman, governor of the
Bank of England, petulant-
ly replied that "there
wouldn't be so much talk
about Mr.. Norman's visit to
this country weren't a po-
litical campaign under way"
But Mr.. Mills is wrong.
When the governor of the
Bank of England enters this
country under the alias OF
professor Clarence Skin
ner," it is natural that the
vulgar public should become
curious.
When "Professor Skin
ner" confers here secretly
with the American people
and the international bank
ers, interested in shifting the
debts of Europe to the
American taxpayers, it is a
matter that concerns the
American people.
It concerns them all the
more when we read from
London that professor
Skinner" is here to prepare
for a "drastic reduction of
war debts to be asked i'm
mediately after the presi-
Dental election"
And it concerns Americans
even more in view of the
fact that a joker was in
jected into the Mellon
Geddes d bt settlement
which gives Mr.. Mills and
the Administration the power
to release the debtor from
his December payment with
out publicity-until after
election.

TN ONE of his articles,
i George Rothwell Brown,
commenting on the editorial
attitude of the Republican
press on Speaker Gamers
acceptance letter, says:
1.-THE magnificent manner
in which the Republican
press has unanimously hailed
Speaker Gamers speech of
acceptance as the statesman
like statement of an old
fashioned conservative JET
fersonian Democrat, and has
apologized for the grotesque
editorials denouncing him as
a radical it had previously
published, shows American
politics at the high water
mark of decency and hon.
esty."
As the campaign pro-
crosses, and Garner talks,
the public will be increas-
ingly impatient with the
strategy of the Hoover high
command to picture one Of
the most forceful and one of
the ablest men in public life
as cheap demagogue. Even
less patient will it be with
the whispering campaign,
based on sheer falsehood, in
tended to arouse religious
hates against Garner, who
stood four-square with Smith
in 1928. Having worked one
side of the Religious Preju-
dice Street in 1928, the
Hoover high command hopes
to work the opposite side
with equal effect this year.

NUKA BAY DISTRICT BEST GOLD QUARTZ
 COUNTRY YET SEEN

T have never seen better gold quartz country anywhere than the Nuka Bay field and I have been prospecting since I was 12 years of ago." stated George Johnson of Anchorage, enroute home after spending . month in that district.
 T have heard some talk about S50,000 ore; we'll, I believe sucn a thing is possible for I saw specimens which will just about run that. But as to the extent Of the field, that is something which must be determined. Some of the specimens are really a. 1oazing being, literally speaking. half rock half gold"
 MT. Johnson filed on a claim from which he blasted samples and which will be sent to Denver for assays. He roughly estimates it will average about $50 per ton. Until he has a report on the ore nothing will be done, he said.
 He also said that the Nuka Bay region is one of the most ideal countries that he has ever seen for operations, there being ample water and timber and deep water transporta ton facili- t:es available.

PROSPECTORS MAY REMAIN IN NORTH:
 NOT DISCOURAGED

Some of the members of the Detroit prospecting expedition who came north to seek their fortunes in the Liard district, may move over to the Alask:, side and continue their quest for gold during the remainder of the season, according to c. D. Butcher, wealthy contractor of Detroit, one of the principal II. embers of the group of argo- nautS.
 "After painstaking investi- gation, no promising placer gold prospects have been discovered in the Liard district of Southern Yukon territory, and the party that was organized by Thomas M Mitchell in Detroit, Mich., and that came north wit hive ai~planes, has abandoned it's mining activities and is dis handing," Butcher announced, following his return to Juneau.
 The report of Harry Townsend, mining engineer, was unfavor- able, and does not warrant any further expenditures in the Liard, the Detroiter explained.
 "The Mitchell party will wind up it's affairs as soon as possible and dispose of it's equipment MT. Butcher told the Juneau Empire. "The majority of the members of the party will re- turn to their homes in the sta1- es," he said, "but few may re- main to try their luck elsewhere. The five Eastman planes that we brought north are of Canadian registry. They probably will go into ownership that will keep them in the country.

Weaker Workers Back
on Picket Lines

Fish workers in the Bronx who
vent on strike five weeks ago i1nten-
sified their picketing activities to
strengthen their sSruggle to win
union conditions in the fish stores.
So militant has the spirit Of the
strikers risen that many who had
weakened during the course Of the
fight and went back to the stores,
are now coming back, especially in
the aBthgste Avenue section and are
picketing their shops.
The fish store bosses backed and
gosded by the wholesalers are re-
sorting to arrests on any pretext in
another attempt to break the strike.
No signs of weakness, however, is
manifested by the fish workers.
A benefit performance for the
striking fish workers will be given on
Thursday evening, January 14th. at

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-Fearful of
what he called "trouble in Pennsyl-
vania" if the unemployed are not
fed, Governor Pinchot of PennSyl-
vanja, who sent his state cossacks
against starving miners to enforce
starvation in the last coal strike told
the LaFollette Senate Committee
yesterday that the question Of un-
employment relief is becoming ex-
tremely serious.
Pinchot's purpose in testifying was
not to get rehet, but to warn the
capitalists OF the growing danger Of
a working class driven rapidly to the
depths of starvation. Pinchot's pro-
posal was TO ward off real unemploy-
ment insurance by a measure of
Federal relief" which would give the
unemployed a few crumbs.
Against this the Unemployed. Coun-
ellis are demanding unemployment

as immediate cash relief of $3.50, the
