One OF the several social at
fairs sponsored by the young set
Tor Miss Smith and Mas. Laid

here was a delightful moonlight
picnic on the grounds near I'm
lonvllle.
II seems evident that the petit
ton of some of the members OF
ST. James Chui ch requesting mat
no minister be sent to Helena
this year has fallen upon deal
ears. In a letter TO IL. J. Baker,
one OF the signers OF the petit
ton. the Bishop expresses the
belief that owing to present con-
ditions st. James should have
minister. For the same reason
the signers of the petition feel
they cannot afford to take care
OF a pastor this year. 1t might
be added that about half a doz-
en- of the signers to the petition
were officers WHO felt almost the
enthe weight OF the church ex-
penses last year.

ally doubled.
Such wholesale shifts of pOpu-
alton as are revealed by these
figures naturally involve treaIen-
d0us social consequences. MOI
only are hundreds OF thousands
OF rural people suddenly con
fronted with the necessity OF a.
dapting themselves overnight to
city conditions but the movement
has brought about significant
problems OF racial adjustment.
For one thing, the rapid increase
of Negroes In cities means that
they must find living quarters in
sections formerly occupied by he
whites. In certain cases this
process has been an important
factor leading not only to ffic-
ton but to lace riots and blood
shed. In the light of these facts
II Is significant that by 1880
there were no fewer than 81 cit
les having Negro populations of
more than $4,000 each, while
nine plaees-New Orleans, Bal
iimore, Washington, Chicago, st.
Louis, Philadelphia, Cleveland,
Detroit and New York--each had
mote than 100000. IN 1910
there was not a single city in
the United States with as many
as $4,000 Negro inhabitants. The
magnitude of the cityward move
ment Is revealed by the fact that
between 1910 and 1920 the Ne
gro population in Philadelphia
Increased BY $4,000, in New York
by 81, 900 and n Chicago by Co.,
900. In Cleveland the increase
during the decade was more than
800 per cent and in Detroit more
than 500 per cent.
Not only are Negroes moving
into cities but they are moving
into a relatively few large cities.
Between 1910 and 1926 the col
ored population in cities having
100000 inhabitants and over,
grew SIS per cent, while the in
crease in cities ranging from g.
500 to 10000 was less than two
and one-half per cent, OF only
fraction of the rate of natural
increase.
1t is, of course, easy to exag-
gerate the extent of the Negro
exodus from farms to cities, but
even though the great ma
jority of the colored population
still lives in the rural sections
OF the South. nevertheless the
migration that has already taxi
eL place is sufficiently large to
involve serious social consequence
es for both races. Hundreds Of
thousands of Iural-minded Ne
gIoes have been faced with the
necessity of adapting themselves
almost instantaneously to urban
conditions. Thousands of south
ern farming communities have
had their normal labor supply
seriously curtailed. while most of
the large metropolitan centers
have been confronted with the
problem of assimilating very ra-
pidly growing Negro populations.

EUROPE'S EYES
ON BRITAIN IN
DEBT PARLEY

LONDON, Sept. Is G.N.S).-In
the war-debt negotiations which
will be reopened shortly between
the United States and Great Brit
ain at Washington, Great Britain
is not the only war-debtor inter-
ested.
There is common interest
among European nations owing
war debts to the United States
which took concrete form several
years ago when the Young Plan
was being worked out.
Since then sequence of events
have pulled debtors closer and
closer together, so they will all
have an eye on Sir Frederick
Leith-Ross in Washington.
The Young Plan was, on the
surface, only a revision Of the
Dawes Plan, but to the aStute
bankers and businessmen who put
in months framing it, it was also
calculated to serve as basis for set
tlement of war debts, and in more
ways than one.
In the Young Plan German rep
arationS annuities were deliberate
ly, rather ostentatiously, synchron-
lied with British, French, italian
and other allied war debt annui-
ties to the United States. Repa-
rations and war debts were hooked
up.
This was in 1929. There were
at the time some alf-million Am
ericans holding German bonds of
one sort or another. From the
start many of them looked ask
ance, as they we're intended to do,
at the huge German reparations
annuities under the Young Plan.
They could see already how the
transfer of interest on their in
vestments in Germany could be
menaced. It was calculated that
in time-with the SynchroniZing III
mind-they would, in the interest
of their own pockets, create a
widespread cancellationiSt spirit in
the United States.
But things did not work out
quite that way. Germany was up
against it by the spring of 1881,
several years earlier than antici-
pated and before the public had
time to understand how serious
the situation was, President Hoo
yer jumped in with his famous
one-year moratorium on repara-
tionS and war debts,
AS soon as the first surprise of
President Hoover's act was over,
every European debtor, Ramsay
Macdonald among the first, began
to see in the Hoover moratorium
a chance of reducing or getting
rid of war debts.

close of the run OF "Daddies" on

Curry, and said hurriedly, in an
undertone, "Who is it?" Then
he turned to me and said, cab
bott, you're great actor, and
I'm looking for a great play for
you" Mr.. Belasco had a genius
for pleasing performers.
Intercepting Mr.. BelaScO all
out of breath one afternoon as
he darted out of the stage door
of his theater where "Hit the
Deck" was then playing. 1t

suing an author following some
minor controversy. 81 would

Night Club. Jed, holding out
for "The Roaring Forties s'-and
that's still a pretty good title

one of them was any good.
Awakened by the telephone

My regret at being unable to
see the opening night of my
first day on Broadway. It was
"The Fall Guy," and I was
playing in professional" at the
time, replacing the actor who
had succeeded me in the role
because he was taken ill.

Must Be Given
Competent Government

Among the major provi-
sions Of this progressive
measure was authority for
the President to appoint a
Governor without reference
to residence, and for the cre-
alton of a Hawaiian con-
stabulary as the exclusive
police force of the Islands.
Hawaii has been too long
forgotten by those head SER
wants of the American peo-
pie at Washington who are
responsible, under the Con-
stitution, for the defense Of
the United States.
The time has come for
the Federal Government to
vindicate' the annexation Of
Hawaii by giving it a gov
ernment competent to pro-
tect and administer the
Islands as an outpost OF
American defense.
Under such government
every encouragement would
be offered to the people OF
Hawaii to develop the
Islands as an American ter
ritory.
In view of the wars and
rumors that menace the
world today, it would seem
to be high time to abandon
at Washington and Homo
lulu the fantastic notion
that the people of the Ter
ritory of Hawaii should be
less American in their de-
fense and their destiny than
the people of continental
United States.

Times)
The Washington times., 1933-05-25

Never can the American
people hope to get a square
deal in the Hawaiian Islands
until they compel a new deal
in the government Of that
territory.
This fact is we'll known
to President Roosevelt. 1t
probably explains his spe-
cial message to Congress re-
questing authority to send
to Hawaii as Governor the
best equipped man for that
post he can find anywhere
under the Flag.
The President wishes to
be free to make his selec-
tion for this post, either
from the Islands themselves
or from the United States.
Under existing law, the
Hawaiian Governor must
have been for some time
before his appointment an
actual resident of the Ter
ritory.
If Congress will remove
this limitation, Mr.. ROose-
welt promises to appoint as
Hawaii's next Governor "a
man of experience and Wis
ion, who would be regarded
by all citizens Of the Island
as one who will be abso-
lutely impartial in his de-
cisions on matters as to
which there may be L" mat
ter of local opinion.
Hawaii was annexed to
the United States on July
7, 1898. The real purpose
of annexation was to make
it an outpost in the Pa
cific for the defense of the
United States. The reasons
were military, and today
our greatest investments in
Hawaii are for national de-
fense purposes.

LISTEN, WORLD!
BY Elsie Robinson.

Did YOU ever plan to be the
man or the woman that you
are today?
OF course you didn't!
Remember those glowing
dreams you had at II? Such
brave and beautiful young
dreams they were - weren't
they! What splendid causes
you were going to champion!
What heroic deeds you were
going to do! And with what
innocent, shining eyes you
would some day come upon
Love!
How sweet, how far away,
that bright young dreaming!
How different, how tragically
different, the reality!
But you didn't mean that the
reality should be different, did
you?
Never once did you plan to
make all those shabby compro-
misses, or commit those secret
betrayals.
And yet, here you sit today,
tears in your eyes and a pain
turning like a knife in your
heart, as you think of your lost
paradise and wonder how you
ever Strayed from it.
So you're not so different
from the man behind the bars,
after all, are you, partner?
For neither of you meant to
get like this!
None of us ever does!
Not for a second did we ex-
pect to become what we have be-
come. No, we were going to be
so different! So much finer. So
much braver.
Yet, here we are, staring at
the strangeneSS of our. alien
selves, as that poor murderer
stared at his bars, wondering
how we got like this. Surely we
never planned it.
And there's the whole sad
secret.
WE DIDN'T PLAN TO BE
BAD.
BUT NEITHER DID WE
PLAN TO BE GOOD.
WE HAD SUCH FINE IN
TENTIONS.
WE THOUGHT THEY WE'RE
AS GOOD AS A PLAN.
WE DIDN'T KNOW THAT
SIMPLY BEING DECENT IS A
TWO-FISTED, FIGHTING JOB
AND THAT DREAMING AND
DRIFTING NEVER LAND YOU
ANYWHERE EXCEPT IN THE
STAGNANT SWALLOWS.
And so, unwittingly, our lives
went all askew.
We didn't. mean to become
liars and towards, bullies and
bores.
But we took the easiest way
We did the little things that
didn't count
And here we are today!
No use crying over split milk,
Of course. But perhaps even
now, late as it is, we can be
the thing we want to be-if
We know how it is that we "get
like this"

If you were paying someone
to do the work she carries on,
you would have to pay a much
larger sum than you allow your
wife.
But even if the sum be greater
than you would have to pay for

basis from which you should
consider the amount to which
your wife is entitled.
You formed partnership

You wanted her companion

Wives Earn Their Share

wives Earn Their Share
Old man, aren't you a little
penurious in the allowance you
give your wife?
You count it out carefully,
hand it to her gingerly; some
times in angry mood, you fling
it down on the table.
You sputter over her expendi'
lures and even question her as
to how she spent the last money
you gave her.
All self-respecting wives re-
sent such niggardly methods.
They feel, and justly so, that
they have as much right to the
family income as you have.
You earn it. 'tis true, coming
as it does from the place of your
employment, but she earns her
share of it in the work she does
about the house.

Sugar Interests
Dictatorial

O4CGdGOI4d1
The people of Hawaii are
not to blame for this con-
dition of affairs and the
blame does not rest chiefly
upon the oligarchy that
dominates the territorial
government.
The Hawaiian sugar indus
try is the main source Of the
Islands wealth. This indus
try and its affiliates are con-
trolled by a comparatively
small group. Almost every
Governor of the Islands since
they were annexed to the
United States has been ap-
pointed at the dictation of
this group.
An outstanding exception
to this rule occurred during
the first administration of
Woodrow Wilson. He ap-
pointed Lucius F. Pinkham
as Governor. Although he
had lived in the Islands for
many years, Mr.. Pinkham
