FRIENDS ADVISE
ROOSEVELT To
POLL SENATE
Act on Rumors That He Plans
To Ask for Power to Nego-
tiate Settlements

President Roosevelt has been
served a blunt warning by Demo
cratic leaders of the Senate
against asking Congress for power
to revise or reduce the foreign
debts, international News Service
learned today.
The warning was conveyed to
the President in a confidential
letter written by one of his
spokesmen in the Senate, at the
request of other Democratic
leaders. They preferred to put
the warning in writing so the
President could not mistake the
temper of the Senate on the debt
issue.
Advised to Poll Body
The President was told he had
better poll the Senate" before
seeking such power. A conf
Dental poll incidentally revealed
that more than half of the
Democratic membership was
ready to bolt the President should
he ask authority to slash the
debts. Some of the most promi-
nent Rooseveltians in the Senate
were included in the list of Sena-
tors, ready to "break" with the
President on the debt question.
The warning was provoked by
rumors that the President
planned to ask Conugress for
power to negotiate new settle
mentS with the debtor nations,
following the London Economic
Conference in June.
One report indicated the Presi-
dent might ask authority to re.
wise the debts downward while
another held he would ask power
merely to discuss new settlements
without binding Congress to their
ratification.
Would Violate Pledge
The prevailing sentiment on
Capitol Hill opposed both maneu-
vers. Some Administration spokes-
men held either course would vio-
late the confidential pledge given
Democratic leaders recently that
the President would ask for no
further debt powers until after the
London conference, in event Con-
gress approved the plan to accept
$2,000,000 in silver on debt pay
ments overdue or due within the
next six months. This proposal
was written into the Administra-
tons currency initiation bill.
Senator Lewis of Illinois, Demo-
cratic whip of the Senate, recent
ly emphasized the Senate'S atti-
tude on the debt issue. He pub
licly warned the President, from
the floor of the Senate, not to be
beguiled into debt discussions
either in his private conferences
with foreign visitors or at the Lon
don conference. Lewis declared
the Senate never would consent to
a slashing of debts.
Senator McCarran CD of Ne
vada echoed this sentiment.

KRAMER URGES
CARE Of IDLE
MRS. SAUNDERS

Protection of unemployed boys
and girls by the conversion of
relief funds to educational pur.
poses was advocated today by
DR.. Stephen E. Kramer, first
assistant superintendent of
schools.
Faced with the possibility un-
der the pending supply bill of
ousting from the local high
schools some 600 postgraduate
students, who have returned to
school because they cannot find
jobs, school officials are search
ing for some way to protect these
young people from the effects of
idleneSs.
DR.. Kramer. pointing to the
system used in New York State,
whereby relief funds are used to
provide education to unemployed
boys and girls, declared that
some such measure may "have
to be resorted to" in Washington.
He said:
1--WE have to give them some
thing to think about or they'll
go crazy. The first cOnsidera-
tiOn is food, of course, but we
must do something to prevent
degeneracy."
With the proposed reduction
in school personnel under the
1884 District supply bill, there
may be an insufficient number Of
teachers to care for the addi-
tional students imposed on the
school system because Of un-
employment, he said.

It is worth thinking about, and l
mean no disrespect for undergradu-
ates when l say that the vote may be
impressive, but it is fundamentally
insignificant. The wrong people are
voting; they do not know what they
are voting on-in the serious sense
that they have never experienced
what they say they will never try
and have never experienced the emo
ton generated when war threatens.
The votes are reflection-but
only a reflection-of two things:
The international pacifist movement
and the universal bad taste left by
the last war. The second of these is

A famous symbol of friend
ship in Hawaii is the lei or gar
land of flowers. For centuries
the people of the island ex-
pressed their regard for one an
other by placing these garlands
over the neckS of their beloved
and those whom they wished to
make their friends.
The numerous women who
sell these garlandS and the yel-
low-paper wreaths make bright
spots of color along the pleas
ant streets of Honolulu.
Some Of the rites and
festivals of the ancient tribes
that inhabited the island for
centuries before its discovery in
1778 by Captain Cook, Of the
British navy, still are observed.
For instance, in the spring
there is a picturesque carnival
held in honor of Pele, the time
honored Hawaiian Goddess Of
Fire.
