again the shrinkaee Of space and time.
The habitable world is growing ever
smaller, and the tempo at which human
life moves is constantly being accele-
rated. Men have learned how to see
across vast oceans of the sky; to talk
across almost equally vast expanses Of
the atmosphere; to write across the
Atlantic and the Pacific; to penetrate
the innermost hearts of mountains: to
navigate ten miles above sea level and
five miles beneath 1t; to travel 100
miles an hour by train. 81 nautical
miles sn hour by steamship, 253 miles
an hour by automobile and 200 miles
an hour by airplane; to record the finest
shades Of vocal utterance and move
ment, and, most important Of all, TO
survive In universe continually
becoming less friendly as well as more

inevitably to be asked is whether the
necessary refinement of quality implied
by such changes really is taking place.
Interest Is bound to be centered in the

of units involved. What kind Of mil

justify their lives would be. relatively,
lnconsequential. In the latter case the
IDEAL would be one hundred and twen-

Free Seeds Expected
For Chilean Farmers.
Ell Mercurio, Santiago.--If the efforts
OF Don Oscar Cuadra, subsecretary of
the department of industry, are success
ful, none of the small farmers will have
to buy seeds for their gardens and plan
tations this coming season Don Oscar
had conference yesterday afternoon
with the President of the republic.
wherein the matter of free seeds was
brought up, and the President is said
to be heartily in favor of the govern
ment's rendering this assistance Some
OF the more provident agricuiturists are
already supplied with the necessary
sowings, having reserved enough from
the previous harvest. Many others,
however. are destitute of such prepara-
ton. not SO much because they lacked
in foresight as because the straitened
circumstances of their families forced
them finally to eat even the seeds they
had set aside for the next years plant

The Monkey Wrench at London.

Like banQuo's ghost, the debts Ques-
tion btalked into the London conference
yesterday unanneuneed and unexpected
Prime Minister Macdonald sprang q
surprise upon the delegates, particular
ly those Of the United States, when In
the midst Of his speech opening the
meeting, immediately after King George
had welcomed the representatives of
the powers In pleasant platitudes, he
said that the debt question must be dealt
with before every obstacle to general re-
cOvery has been removed, and ii must
be taken up without delay by the ma
tions concerned" He admitted that il
could not be considered at the London
meeting because the conference lis not
constituted In such q way as to enable
II to consider and settle the matter, .
which was plainly reference to the
fact that the United States had insisted
upon the omission Of the debts question
As the condition upon which It would
participate.
II. ss Mr.. Macdonald declares, a
settlement Of the debts questioii--which
means eancellation-ialist be effective
before economic read justments can be
brought about, the London conference
must be regarded as failure before 1t
is even fairly started. For the United
States, whatever 1t may agree 10 here
after, is not at this time disposed or
prepared to accept such 9 condition.
Only by act Of Congress can such step
be taken. The present session of Con-
gress is about to end, perhaps within a
few hours. BY no conceivable course
could q measure providing for the can
collation. or the material scaling OF the
debts be pressed TO finality through the
two Houses In q short time. Nor Is
there any likelihood Of the summoning
Of Congress In extra session for such
purpose. even II the President were
to propose the measure,
1t Is of relatively small Importance
that the British leader sprsng his state
ment upon the conference without
warning, though resentment was en-
pressed by American delegates that no
intimatiOn was given that the subject
would be brought into the open. A
more tactful procedure would doubtless
have been for the prime minister to
mention the debts IA factor for
eventual consideration, but not as an
essential to adjustments at the present
meeting.

A Mere Million.

short OF astronomical in its proportions.
But today, when 1t is reported that q

Time for q Showdown.

President Roosevelt and the sup
poi'ters Of more liberal compensation
Tor the veterans have come to another
! fork In the road. The Chief Executive
has informed the conferees Oh the inde-
pendent Offices appropriation bill that
the substitute adopted by the House for
the Connally amendment Of the Senate
concerning veterans compenss tions is
Ms far As he intends to 90. II the Con-
gress should put through more liberal
modification OF this Iuhstitute for ex-
ample, the Cutting -Steiwer amendment
offered in the Senate yesterday by the
Senators from 4 " Mexico and on ieson,
then the President will veto the bill.
Furthermore, he will broadcast the rea-
sons for his veto of the measure to the
country.
1t should have been clear to the
members Of the Senate for several days
that the President has yielded ss far
as he intends on this legislation. Where
he has yielded 1t has not been to
retreat from his position that compen-
sation to veterans must be for those
whose disabilities are connected with
their service. He has yielded In the
matter OF amounts which shall be
paid until In the House compromise
for the Connally amendment 1t Is esti-
mated that the amount to be expended
for the veterans has been increased
nearly S100,00O 600 over the original
figure i'm the appropriation bill. the
budget figure. The Connally amend
ment was expected to bring the ex-
penditure $170, 900, 900 above the budget
figure while the estimate for the compro-
mise administration plan was for $780,
000,0o0 above the original amount.
The Presidents contention Is that the
drive made in Congress by supporters of
more liberal veterans compensation Is
wreckins his economy program. When
the Connally amendment was first
adopted by the Senate. and 1t appeared
likely that 1t would be also favored by
the House. the Chief Executive sent
word that he would demand additional
tax legislation Of Congress II the Con-
nally amendment was made part Of the
law. However, at the White House, In
conference with House members. the
coinprornise finally adopted by the He use
was worked out and no additional taxes
have been projected. II the Congress
persists In going beyond the limit set
by the President for veterans compen-
sation, Mr.. Roosevelt may. II he wishes,
revert to his demand for additional tax
legislation. Congress has no desire and
very little stomach for enacting new
taxes into law ut this juncturs. But
certainly the President would be wise
to make the legislators understand that
il they intend going ahead with the
expenditures they must find the money
to foot the bill.
Within the next twenty. -four hours 4
showdown in the Senate on the vet
Grams legislation In the independent
Offices bill is expected. Such q show
down was imminent yesterday and was
averted only when Senator Byrncs OF
Tennessee, heading the conferees on
this measure, agreed not to accept the
House compromise until he had gone
back to the Senate and submitted the
matter to that body. The issue between
the President and supporters Of vet
erans' legislation In Congress has been
clearly drawn. The country will be the
umpire
