. ENTRAL EUROPEAN OBSER-
YER, Prague.-It would be out
OF place to assert at a period
- in which all European states

are experiencing worldwide
economic crisis and feel the internal
political effects thereof in conflicts be-
tween parties and In the increased dis
quiet Of those strata Of the population
on which the economic pressure weighs
most heavily that Slovakia has remained
as an oasis OF economic well-being and
political contentment.
The task Of the economic consolida-
ton of Slovakia which the CZechoslovak
Government began after the creation of
the republic, achieved immense program
during the first decade Of independence.
The Land Reform in Slovakia, the exc
cution Of a mammoth educational pro-
gram, the introduction Of O social or
ganiZation of which Slovakia never
dreamed under the Hungarian regime
in short, the undeniable labor for the
improvement OF the widest strata OF the
Slovak people produced during the first
10 years of the Republics existence. re-
suits so tangible and, In comparison
with the lamentable condition OF the
Hungarian population in Hungary, 50
evident, that even Hungarian propa-
ganda, not particular in its choice Of
medium, was compelled to transfer its
activities from the field of economic ex-
periences to the political field.
In this second sphere it endeavored
to make capital out Of the psychological,
cultural and political differences which
existed at the time of the union of the
Czechs and Slovaks in one nation. and
which to certain degree still exists
today.

Macon Proves Its Value.

From the Long Beach Press-Telegram.
Southern Californians, disappointed
because the curtain OF fog over this
region prevented them from seeing the
Nays airship Macon, may find some
consolation In the fact reported by
aerial navigators that the conditions
so unfortunate for sightseers were of
the best for the purpose Of testing the
practical value Of the giant craft OF the
air.
With the earth blanketed with fog, q
situation exists in which naval and
military airships may be of maximum
service. supposing that the craft and
their personnel are equal to the occs-
sion. By flying successfully over the
State yesterday in demonstration for
Navy day, the Macon and its compile
ment OF officers and men proved their
strategic value in time of war.
There will be further demonstration
of the value of the Macon next month
when 1t will take part In the war games
of the combined United States feet and
show how well it can accomplish its
chief purpose Of finding an enemy feet
known only to be somewhere" In the
oceans vast expanse. The test, follow
ing yesterdays success, may be awaited
with equanimity by the Macon's per-
sonnel and the public.

Ii Is Easier and Better
To Smile Than to Frown
To me Editor OF The Star,

10 the Edll0r OF the Star,
AS I walked up the street the other
day I saw many people frowning and
takes "a muscles of the face to frown
and only 16 to smile" So think that
people should save their energy and
keep smiling. No good can come Of
thinking evil. in times like these. The
sooner people realize that this world
was made for something more than to
frown, this old earth will be better
place for us to live in.
Some people frown by habit. 1t looks
bad, They don't realize 1t. but when
they frown their thoughts travel In
queer channels. BY that I mean they
do not struggle to keep the bad, evil
things out of their minds. but allow
them to get in their consciousness This
will result in q frOwn, or q word Of
hatred. envy or malice. So don't you
think that people should try to keep
their minds filled with good, Clean low
ing thoughts?
II every one would do this we would
not hate our neighbor, and soon we
would have world of peace. So every
one keep watch for one day and keep
all gossip, envy and hatred away from
their consciousness and they will soon
feel better and happier You cannot
have peace of mind while hating some
one. Try it! JOHN B. ROTHROCK.

BY PHmANDER JOHNSON.

Codes Pressing Consideration.
We must consider small details
Along with gold and crops.
If one link in the logic fails
The whole great structure fops.
In cogitation I am lost
Amid a deep unrest
I wonder what it's going to cost
To have my trousers pressed.
I am forgetful Of the msrts
Where billions ebb and flow
And trace these records ON the charts
That Wall Street brokers show.
Upon my last legs in the frost
OF this financial test,
I'm asking now what it will cost
To have my trousers pressed.
I'm tempted. like an Eskimo,
To rob a polar bear.
Or like Highlander to 20
In kits most everywhere.
Or let my garb aside be tossed
In mahatmaS zeSt-
wonder what It's going to cost
To have my trousers pressed.

Wallace Talks Straight Stuff.
From the Milwaukee Journal,

FroHr lne Milwaukee Journal
Whether the Agricultural Adjustment
administration. the A. A. A. that is the
twin sister Of N. r. A., eventually sue
ceeds or fails, Secretary Wallace Is
doing useful and intelligent work In
teillng the public-not farmers alone,
but all OF us-what the problem is
Not promising the earth with a fence
around 1t, not clustering at any who
get In the way, he takes up the thing
that Is before the country; he puts
down two and two and makes four OF It.
Mr.. Wallace said in recent address
that President Roosevelt, George Peek
and I and all Of us in the Agricultural
Adjustment Administration are con-
vlnced this dilemma OF bursting ware
houses and starving multitudes must
be solved" No one in the country is
going to disagree with that. But the
solution does not rest with Wallace,
Roosevelt and Peek alone.
Unless we restore world trade. we
must take out of use the 10000, 900
surplus acres which were planted dur
Ing the wartime BOOM" Wallace says
AS long as We remain creditor ma
ton with high tariff policies, refusing
to accept foreign goods In payment,
those acres should not be TILED
No government and no nation can
pay for surpluses-of anything-that
are not consumed. It might be done
once or twice, but the surplus must
then disappear. Until our people have
the vision to adopt a long time world
trading policy which is in keeping with
our position as creditors. We must en-
gage in the delicate process of adjust
ing basic production downward"
This is hard saying for the farmer.
But 1t Is better than lying to him. 1t
Is better than promising him that II
he will vote to maintain home market
at high prices for industry, there will
somehow be something in 1t for him.
The farmer hasn't had q square deal
and knows 1t. Yet he has not been
willing to execute his long-standing
threat that II he could not be the
beneficiary Of the sky high tariffs,
there should be none. And the market
for his products was sold out. II was
sold out because 1t depended on the
foreign purchasers being able TO sell
goods in this country in return.

Moderation Is Needed
For Liquor Regulation
After repeal, what7 That Is the ques-
ton asked by thousands OF leyel-headed.

To the Editor OF The Star:
After repeal, what7 That Is the ques-
ton asked by thousands Of leyel-headed,
clear-thinking people Are we going
back to the same useless, debauched
system of liquor dispensing that brought
about the agitation for national prohi-
bition? Are We going TO allow the
ward -heeling politicians" to get rich
on that sort of thing in the same FASH
ion as the bootleg trade and the speak
easy, out OF which they made millions?
If so. we will not have advanced one
step further in the matter Of dispensa-
tion and control of liquor.
Any one who Is Of the opinion that
repeal Is the solution of the Nations
fiscal troubles had better think again.
While 1t may add few paltry dollars
to Uncle Sans Treasury, it will also
take away just that much from fami-
lies who need bread, and not liquor. for
their existence 1t will have q tendency
to undermine the health of already i'm
poverished children and take away those
things most necessary for life, liberty
and the pursuit Of happiness.
do not want any one to think that
am opposed to any one having q glass
Of beer or liquor II it Is desired In
this connection We will do well to make
comparison between the nations Of
Europe and the several States Of our
own Union. In Europe the men and
women take things In moderation and
do not practice abuse of any given
thing q make special reference, Of
course, to beer and hquor), while In the
United States the majority OF people
seem to think that 1t Is smart to go and
get good and drunk, come what may
They cannot, or will not, discriminate.
Ti,c thing which people In the United
States have yet to learn is moderation
When they have learned that, then we
will have genuine control of the liquor
problem and regulation will be matter
Of course.

A Great National Waterway
From the PhlIadelphia Evening Bulletin.

From the Philadephia Evening Bulletin
The administration has decided {
include the st. Lawrence waterways
project in the public works program
to be financed by the unemployment.

covery act. The first step has ALREADY
been taken in the naming of a planning
board in which the Departments OF
War, Commerce and Agriculture are
represented, as we'll as the railroad CO.
ordinator, the Federal Power Conmis-
sion and the New York Power Au-
thority.
The waterway Is considered the
greatest Federal public works project
undertaken since the Panama Canal.
As the name of Theodore Roosevelt is
forever linked with that work, so the
second President to bear that family
name has the laudable ambition to
have his name associated with another
great work of both national and inter
national scope.
The engineers estimate submitted

construction was signed found the tota
cost OF the work to be approximately
$543, 100000. The amount Of new fund.

expenditures essential to the proiec,
having already been made-was esti-
mated at $259, 10000 An arrange
ment was recently made with New Yors

improvement that would otherwise have

special bond issue, has precedents IN
the naval building program and some
other projects. Its Justification in the
case OF the waterway is not only in the
number OF men to be directly employed,
out also IN the stimulation OF industries

No Gold Behind
The English Pound
To the Editor OF The Star:

10 the Editor OF The star:
Though Walter Runciman states
England has the greatest gold stock
in the empires history" there is not
now one ounce Of the English gold
stock behind the pound sterling. The
pound sterling is fiat currency and
nothing else. as much so as our $500.
100000 greenbacks still extant in the
United States but kept locked up as bank
reserves In our banks. England has tied
up with herself many Eastern Hemi-
sphere countries by exchange values Of
those countries with the now fat pound
sterling.
England and France, especially Eng
land. have simply gambled In gold and
the dollar. The dollar still purchases
100 cents worth In the United States,
and not 65 cents worth.
England is the spearhead for all
European countries in non-payment
of the $1,000, 900 900 plus, great war
and Armistice debts to the United
States. England's reported willingness
to make another token payment" Of
even less than the one of $4,000 900 in
silver at so cents per ounce seems to
have moved France to default any
payment on her part on her great war
debt to the United States next De-
cember. w. E. RYAN.

New Funds Available
To Omen Reich Jobs,

Cologne GaZette-The central gov
eminent yesterday ratified law which
it is believed will still further Obviate
the diScouraging phenomena OF unem-
ployment. A fresh subsidy of 500 .000,
900 marks (Sl25 100000 at paD is
available for owners OF buildings and
other necessary structures who are en-
gaging in renovations or Improvements
OF permanent nature. Reduc-
ton or remission of taxes can also be
secured by landowners preparing to re-
sumo agriculture upon q larger scale.
The construction of new homes also Is
encouraged. and funds will be granted
pro rata to those erecting new houses
upon their property.
1t is believed that these expenditures
will justify and compensate for them
selves in removing many recipients OF
public aid from the rolls OF the unem-
ployed. and SO prove a veritable econ
omy in the final computation.
Another decree of the Reich. shortly
to be made effective, will restrict de-
cidedly and automatically importations
from all countries which discriminate
In any respect or for any reason against
German goods. This will give prefer
ence In trade to all the friends OF
Germany. and constitute logical and
well warranted, though temperate and
bloodlesS, reprisal against her enemies.
In some few instances the provisions
of existing commercial treaties will
modify temporarily the application of
this law, but 1t is the sober intention
Of the government to enforce strongly
the new enactment against such incom-
patibles just as soon as existing eco
nomic agreements have reached the
date of expiration.
However 1t is rumored that In some
instances at present noted, where a
third nation enjoys the benefits OF ex-
elusive demand for merchandise or COM
modities which Germany Is well able to
supply, the vigor of this retaliatory de-
cree will be exercised after due notice
to the parties thus arbitrarily restrict
ing free international trade. In the
event such formal admonition Is ig-
nored, then the terms of all such prior
arrangements and negotiations will be
Immediately Cancelled.
