Remain Til Christmas

WASHINGTON. Oct. Is. CUP
Thanksgiving will be proclaimed
for November 80, the last Thurs
day in the month, as usual, in
spite of pleas by organizations
that it's observance be advanced a
week in order to facilitate and
lengthen the Christmas shopping
period. the White House said to-

President Roosevelt, it is said,
feels that even if he were disposed
to change the date the time for
the celebration has been fixed in
many states by legislative action.
At the same time friends of
the president represented him as
believing that the tradition of
Thanksgiving on the last Thurs

Motive for the change is de-

Will be in the black by the close of the
current fiscal year, June 30, 1884. While
that has an encouraging sound, it does
not alter the fact the Treasury deficit
will be increased in the current fiscal
year by all the way from t.lree to four
billion dollars. Since January, 1881,
the deficit has grown to S7,589,000, 900,
and by next July, therefore. will be from
eleven to twelve billion dollars. When
the deficit began the national debt was
around sixteen billions. BY next July,
therefore, 1t promises to reach twenty
eight billions. or an all-time high Un-
der the new definition of the budget
its true status can not be understood
without reference to the Treasury
deficit. That may have nothing to do
with the ordinary budget. but has
plenty to do with taxes and cost of gov
ernment, since interest and sinking
fund must be added to the ordinary
budget by the necessary revenues from
taxation"

further expenditures" advises the Prov

Money Moving Both Ways.

From the Cincinnati Times-Star.
Because the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation makes loans in lump sums
to various enterprises and is repaid
piecemeal, attention has been focused
on the loans themselves and not on
steady process of repayment. 1t comes
as surprise to the public to learn from
Chairman Jesse H. Jones that for the
last nine months collections have been
at daily average of s2,5O0,0o0, Sun
days not excepted.
The r. F. C. has made total loans to
date of $3.50 100000 OF this sum.
more than s1,0o0OOO,000 has already

crushing Of wooden cars.
A long time was required In this
country to bring about the adoption Of
the compulsory automatic stop system
and the theoretical prohibition Of
wooden cars for passenger service. But
neither the adoption Of the stop system
nor the prohibition Of wooden cars has
been fully enforced. with the result that
these needless tragedies continue To b
enacted on even major lines here. 1t
will be interesting to observe whether
this French railroad horror will result
in more dependable reform in operation
and equipment than a longer and dead
lier record has effected in America.

The French Railway Tragedy.

America Is in q position to synpa-
thize deeply with France on the score
ct the ghastly tragedy of Saturday. when
an express train crashed into a stand-
ing local crowded with people on
their way home from the capital to
celebrate Christmas. For this was pre-
cisely the kind Of accident that has
occurred frequently in this country, and
for the prevention Of which devices
have been developed. but tardily and
reluctantly and not fully adopted.
The conditions that led to the French
disaster were such as have contributed
often in the past In similar catastrophes
here. A heavy fog prevailed, which
obscured and. II would seem. trans
formed the danger signals SO that the
engineer of the following train was
unaware of the presence of the stand
ing train ahead. The situation was
Just such as has called definitely for
the automatic compulsory stop system,
which has been prescribed here and has
been adopted in some measure. Had it
been In use In France the following
train could not have approached within
dangerous proximity to the train ahead.
Furthermore, the use Of wooden
coaches on the train in France con-
tributed to the magnitude Of the dis
aster. Upon the impact of the collision
they were crushed to splinters and the
loss of life was correspondingly heavy.
Just such q situation prevailed in the
recent collision on an American railroad
near Binghamton. N. Y, where fol-
lowing train hit standing local, itself

and three Bulgarian Communists, on
the ground that the evidence did not
justify their conviction.
There Is bitter outcry in extremist
Nazi circles against miscarriage Of
Justice" ct Leipzig. But in all response
bic German quarters. including the
Hitler government itself. the verdict IS
received with unmitigated satisfaction.
Onacials rightly are conscious that the
finest traditions of German justice have
been vindicated and that the world has
visible proof that Germany is still a
constitutional state. They are not un-
mindful OF the correspondingly favorable
effect the Supreme Courts findings are
bound to have abroad. Arthur Garfield
Hays, the American lawyer, who was an
unomcial observer Of the trial in all its
early stages, acting on behalf Of "c.vil
liberties" interests. declares that the
Leipzig court has been "fair," and
acclaims the "old-time judges, in the
midst Of political turmoil and in spite
Of the demands of Nazi leaders," for
refusing to act as tools Of those in
control"
Reich government leaders have all
tho more reason to be satisfied with
the outcome Of the arson trial because
the court absolved the Nazi element from
completely In the fire, with which the
Communists charged 1t. In general, too,
the court upheld the accusation that
the burning Of the Reichstag was in
reality Of Communist origin, although
it was not established that the defend
ants, with the exception Of the feeble
minded and altogether irresponsible
youth, Won der Lubbe, had anything to
do with the fire. The latter stubbornly
maintained to the end tt.1t he had no
accomplices In putting the Reichstag to
the torch, yet the Supreme Court, in
effect. sustained the Nazi theory that
the confiasration was due to a Com
munist conspiracy and intended es the
opening act In an armed Red revolt
against the Reich and the rising power
Of Hitlerism.
Berlin cables indicate that while the
Reichstag fire issue as such is closed
by the Leipzig verdict. the aftermath
may be the prosecution of the acquitted
Communists, including the German
Torgler. on new charges OF high
treason. Perhaps the men who now
control the Reich's destinies. as they
contemplate the favorable reaction
abroad to the result Of the Leipzig trial,
will finally determine that it were per-
haps better to let the incident rest
there than to incur the risk of inflaming
international opinion anew by recourse
which might be construed outside of
Germany as savoring Of implacable per-
secution.
The Sunday Times In London voices
a view which will find echo widely
abroad when it says that "the verdict
in the Reichstag fire trial probably does
more to improve opinion Of present day
Germany than any single event since
the Nazi revolution" That is q senti-
ment not unlikely to make an impress
sion on Herr Hitler and his colleagues
in the Wilhelmstrasse.

The Messenger.
High in the heavens shines a star
Whose speed no mortal eye can guess.
We gaze upon it from afar
And marvel at its loveliness.
A star Of prophecy 1t seems,
In the deep silence Of the night.
To hail fulfillment of the dreams
Which have been beautiful and bright.
It is the airmail on its way
That sends to us this radiant glow;
It has its message to convey
To all who wonder here below.
It bears the evidence Of will
And power that will never cease;
To labor. not for martial skill
But for earth's promised love and peace.

A The Christmas tree is from Egypt,
and its origin dates from a period long

tree is known to put forth a branch
every month and a spray of this tree,
with II shoots on it, was used in Egypt
at the time Of the Winter solstice, as
symbol Of the year completed.
