Washington, D. C., Dec. 28 = Questioning the advantages to be derived from recognition of Russia Rev Robert J. White of the fac ulty of the school of law of the Catholic university of America, Washington, D. C., and national chaplain of the American legion in a recent address before the for eign policy association at Boston, Massachusetts, stated, "The exper- fences of other governments which have recognized the Soviet, give a signal warning as to what may be expected from the Soviet govern ment. Even in the face Of specific pledges to refrain from attempts to undermine the recognizing gov- ernment, their agents have been guilty of spreading Htheir insidious and revolutionary propaganda" :" Father White specifically called attention to China, Mexico, Canada and England as examples. r.
 Father White cited the recent statement of William R. Castle, Jr., former under-secretary of state, that immediately the diplomatic agents of Moscow, wherever they were permitted to go, began to QlSCr1DuI6 Lnelr rCVOlullOudIy pLOp- aganda and to import their in- flammatory pamphlets through sealed diplomatic pouches" He further cited MT Castle as stating that the American government had "incontrovertible evidence" that revolutionary organizations in the United States were directed and in part subsidized by Moscow, and that it remains uncontradicted'' that the ~bolshevist government feels under no moral obligation to keep it's pledged word to non- communists countries.
 Official statements of the state department of China, Mexico, and England were quoted to show that the Soviet had broken their prom ises to refrain from interfering with the social or political order of those countries. In view of this line of broken promises, he ques- toned the extent of the reliance the United States could place on the same promises given by MT Litvinoff.
 Father White further challenged the soundness of the claims that have been made that recognition would contribute materially in the

Miami, Fla Dec 2s--(UP)-- Frances Harreil and Helen Richey, women stunt flyers, were only n few hours away from a new worlds record endurance record for wo- men today as they neared their eighth day aloft.. The flyers have set a new official worlds record after 1909 D. m. They will have passed the old record of eight days, four hours and six minutes at 5:09 D. m. today, but they must fly two hours longer for the record to be officially recognized.
 Their first mishap since they took to the air at 1908 a week ago yesterday, occurred late yesterday. As the refueling plane circled over their plane, "Outdoor Girl" to get in position for refueling, it's dang ling nose mouth ripped into the fuselage of their plane and left a six-inch hole.

 "The commercial cooking load in general has defiected the decreased volume of restaurant and hotel trade together with a few inroads by oil burning equipment. The use of gas by heavy industries has con- siderably increased during the past six months-in some instances be- ing from 40 to 80 per cent greater than during the same period Of 1892. This reflects a substantial im- provement in the volume Of busi- ness being done by Connecticut fac- tories and appears not to be just a temporary spurt.
 "Modern gas appliances seem to be securing a more generous ac- ceptance on the part of the public and as conditions improve this phase of promotion will undoubt- edly substantially increase in vol ume. One of the most satisfactor- lily and acceptable gas appliances ever offered to the public became available early in 1883 and has gained wide favor in the commun- ities where it has been aggressively merchandised.

 The mere presence of this huge sum is expected to banish worries of small depositors on the stability of their banks. A depositor will be paid off dollar for dollar for his deposits out of the insurance fund if his bank fails.
 Deposit insurance officials claim tn plan will forever end the fear of runs" on banks which are participants. They say it will make it unnecessary for banks to carry large sums of cash and induce many to lend more freely, thereby stimulating business activity.

MUST KNOW HOW TO FIGHT

THE success of the Tennessee Valley plan
depends on the personnel of the Ten
neSSee Valley Authority.
President Roosevelt has shown, in his ap-
pointment of Arthur F. Morgan as chairman
that he recognizes the need of men of large
accomplishment at the head of this great
project
Morgan. both as an engineer and as
educator, is well-founded in the social and
economic possibilities of the valley program
especially as relating to flood control, reclama-
tion and social development.
To give the Authority the necessary bal
ance, the other two men must have an init
mate familiarity. first, with hydro electric
projects and, second with current practices
and policies of privately owned utilities and
how they can be controlled.
Only men with record in the field of
Sidered
Fortunately the three names most promi-
nently mentioned for the last two posts are
such men. They are:
r. r SCdllerSOOu manager OF the Los
Angeles municipal hydro-eectric system.
Frank P. Walsh. head of the New York
Power Authority
David E. Lihenthal, public utility COM
missioner of Wisconsin one of the few who
really regulate.
Only such men can break the back of utility
domination in the south
That none of the men being considered is
southern man is not surprising, for public
ownership and public regulation have not pro-
ceeded far in the south. That they are not
southern men is no disadvantage to the people
of the SOUTH for it means that they will be
free Of any local entanglementS or pressure of
the local utility interests which would prevent
them from giving the best service to people of
the south

VISION OF A NEW ERA

1T would take a seer of uncommon ability
l. to tell Just where we are going to be when
the present time of trial is over; but now and
then even the least prophetic of men must feel
a thrill of excitement at the enormous posi-
bilities inherent in the situation
In our fight to get out of the depression,
start the wheels moving and put men back
to work. there is more than chance that we
shall take a longer stride along the road
toward genuine freedom and happiness than
would have seemed possible half a decade
ago.

touched on this in a speech before the girls

WHAT DID MR.. MORGAN GET?

MIR. WOODIN and the 300 other favorites
INI appearing on the third Morgan cut
rate stock list received in 1929 a gift of
$00O,000 That is they could have sold their
stock at once for that much profit And
this was only one of many such Morgan bene-
factions.
The House of Morgan which latterly has
posed as too poor to pay income taxes, was
rich enough to throw away money by the mil
lions. But did it throw the money away?
If man stood on street corner and
handed out $7OO the police would take him
to the observation ward No one has sug-
gested that Mr. Morgan is insane-and yet
he handed out 10000 times $500 in just one
little deal
MIR. Morgans sanity is not questioned, be-
cause every one assumes he had good rea-
son-well at least, a reason-for giving money
away. The word used by Mr. Raskob, one of
the beneficiaries in his letter OF thanks, was
'reciprocate." Mr. Morgan stood a good
chance to get something in return.
And if he got something in exchange, the
transaction was not charity, but business
deal; he had bought something
What could Mr. Morgan expect to get in
return? Apparently the answer varied. If
there was to be any reciprocity. he must have
expected one kind of return from bank preSi-
dents, such as Mr. Mitchell of National City
and Mr. Wiggin of Chase National and an
other KIND of debtors like Chairman Raskob
Of the Democratic national committee and
Hilles and Roroback, Republican national
committeeman; one kind from Mr.. Woodin, at
that time head of a corporation, and yet
other kind from Mr.. Richard, the reputed rep
resentative of Herbert Hoover.
If the senate committee can not get the
answers from NIr. Morgan, it should ask some
of those who took what Mr. Morgan had to
give or to trade. The committee might begin
with Mr.. Woodin.

bIghted areas in the nation-those areas
where people struggle along through year
after year of hopeless poverty, existing rather
than living, lacking all luXuries and many
necessities What do we do?
We enable these people to house, clothe
and feed themselves properly. We enable
them to give their children a chance at the
good things of life; chance at health, hap
piness, leisure ambition, contentment
We let them lift themselves up to a new
level We replace misery and despair with
joy and hope.
1t is chances like that which are opening
up in our fight with the depression. Win
ming the fight means more than simply set
ting the factory chimneys smoking again.
1t can mean, as Miss Perkins says, building
a new kind of civilization.

Omit Not Personal

THINK it is a mistake for the
public to assume that the
investigation has brought up, chief
iy, facts Of private rascality. Under
that belief there might be a dis
position to compromise and make
certain restrictions and limitations.
The truth of the matter is that the
greatest anti-social fact is the code
itself. The House of Morgan and
all private banking institutions must
be destroyed.
The conscience Of Mr.. Morgan
never troubled him during the wears
in which he paid no income tax. He
was within his legal rights. and it
seemed the most natural thing in
the world. Why should he paw trib-
ute to the welfare of a neighborino
state?
The phrase, usefulness to the
community" in the creed of the
private banker, as recited by Mr..
Morgan, most certainly does not
mean usefulness to Tom, Dick and
Harry. Mr. Morgan means useful
ness to his own loyal subjects-the
people on the preferred lists.
Ihey were good fellows and
friends, every one Of them, and if
some happened to be judges or cab
met members or political leaders.
the only way to account for it is
that Mr.. Morgan is such an absent
minded beggar.
