Authorship of Happy Sayings.
(NeW York Times.l ]


 The "reminiscences regarding Colonel Charles E. Stanton on the occasion of his death last Monday emphasizes the happy turn in his speech of July 4, 1917, at Lafayettes tomb in the Pcpus Gene tery which he concluded by saying, Lafayette we are here" This will always have a place among familiar quotations, but most Americans have as- sumed that Pershing said it. The legend that he did may persist despite the fact that Pershing himself declared in his memoirs that many have attributed this striking utterance to and have often wished it could have been mine" but that it's actual author Colonel Stanton.
 Ascribing to man what another man said is not unprecedented Usually, it has been because the public mind fixed the authorship where it was considered most appropriate This with the familiar declaration, commonly cited the answer of Pinckney to the demand for money by the French Revolutionary diplomats in 1797, the price of stopping arbitrary seizures of American merchant ships. Millions for defense but not a cent for tribute" the version accepted by four generations of American schooboys Pinck- ney's answer, and it is repeated by Bartlett But Pinckney never said it. When Talleyrands emissares remarked to the American delegates at Paris that "it is expected you will offer money; what is your answer?" Pinckney retorted, Tt is No; not a sixpence!" The phrase embodied in traditions was conceived by unknown member of the committee of arrangements for the dinner given at Philadelphia in 1798 to John Marshall, chairman of the delegation to. Paris, and was the title for toast.
 Cambronne to the end of his days, angrily denied that he had declared at Waterloo that "the Guard dies, but never surrenders.' The phrase, matter of fact, invented and fixed on him after the battle by ingenious French journalist in his Paris newspaper.
 Most people imagine that the saying regarding specie payments that "the way to is to resume" originated with President Grant; but Chase was responsible for it, far back 1866. Nobody knows how many happy turns in our Presidential messages were actually contrived for the President by invisible secretaries Cabinet associates The famous and often-quoted "Bixby letters," with it's moving reference to Mrs. Bxbys loss of her five sons in battle and the reminder of "the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly sacrifice the altar of freedom" doubtless signed by Lincoln and is certainly characteristic of his language; but it was actually written by John Hay Yet the public instinct to what person and what circumstances would have been most appro- priate for such remembered sayings will continue to have it's way in fixing their traditional author ship

A New Moratorium
Cincinnati Enquirer)


 The prospect of a partial moratorium on Ger lmany's foreign debts calls attention to the fact that deation still is proceeding in lines. Last year Germany able to reduce her foreign indebtedness, long and short term, by nearly half billion dollars. This possible largely through of exports imports. Gold reserves are so low that they do not provide a 10 per cent coverage of outstanding note issues, there is possibility of gold shipments to continue pay ments foreign debts.
 Two factors in addition to export surplus, have made possible German payments on her for eign debts. These the abandonment of Preparations payments, and the standsti agree ment by which short-term funds in Germany were left there. But even with these aids, it appears no longer possible to continue full payment of interest and amortization installments decision on the question is likely to be reached this com ing week.
 Since the United States, or, rather, it's citi- zens, is the largest creditor of Germany, the new moratorium will be felt most severely in this coun- holders of German obligations if it is made will emphasize once the imperative need for measures to restore the volume of international commodity trade. Germany fulfill her obliga- tions only if she export sufficient merchandise. She can export that merchandise only if tariffs are adjusted in many countries. Thus do many financial problems resolve themselves into commer which are strangling the worlds trade.

Lucille started it. Her story

Lucille is 35, alone in the

Hitherto, neither her loneli-

and old age have bothered her
much. She was clever at her
work as a private secretary,
and liked it. Like any normal
girl, she would have preferred
marriage, but the chance didn't
come. So she built what
seemed to be a satisfactory
substitute pretty apartment,
q small but nice circle OF
friends who shared her inter-

Time passed pleasantly. She
was content.

Now there's no job at all. For

Suddenly she realizes that she

THREE.MINUTE JOURNEYS
BY Temple Manning

It is only natural that we Of
the United States should think
of our Western cowboys when
ever the question Of cattle Is
raised. We are apt to forget the
other great grazing lands Of
this world and that wherever
there is grazing there must be
horSemen to guard and care for
the herds.
But If we think of our own
cowboys, we have the picture
Of at least one thing which
seems to be well-nigh universal
among the tenders Of herds.
They are colorful. Our cow
boys, with their chaps and
bright shirts and bandannaS;
the gauchos of the Argentine
pampas with their full panta.
looms and boots and ornamented
belts: the cSikos Of the Hun
garian plains with their whips
and 'trick" hats.
We are going to visit the
cSikoS today.
East of Budapest q short dis
tance, the traveller will find the
beginning Of the Afford, that
great central plain of Hungary.
This is fertile and rich, on the
whole, but in the northern part
lies a great uncultivated stretch,
q moor, known as the Horto-
bagy or the puszta. And here
we will find the csikoS and
sheep herderS.
Although there are definite

Farm Foreclosures
Must Be Stopped

Other things must be done
to make it possible for the
farmer to make enough to
meet his obligations, but the
pressing thing just now is
to end this frightful flood
of foreclosures. The farmerS,
traditionally conservative
and long suffering are
aroused to the fighting heat.
Make the countryside radi-
cal and revolutionary; put
them on the march forcibly
to prevent evictions; drive
them to the extreme Of boy
colt and you coon will haS-
a spirit in America we do
not want and one not easily
laid.
The recovery of the mer-
chant and manufacturer is
dependent on the recovery
Of purchasing power in the
thirty millions on the farms.
The reduction of the farmer
to a state of peasantry by n
ruthless or coldly critical
attitude toward his present
necessities is sheer insanity.
The Washington times., 1933-02-04

social distinctions between the
various herders (the cowherd
ranking first and the swine
herd down at the bottom Of the
Scale), there is no great differ
ence in their dress. First and
foremost is the "Suba" or long
cloak Of sheepskin. On the skin
side there will always be found
embroidery work-flowers done
in bright thread. The heavy
fleece makes this a warm gar
ment for the chill nights. Next
come the long pleated trousers
Of linen and the long white
woolen coat: this, too, is en-
broidered in reds and blues.
Two items Of "impedimenta"
are worthy Of mention. One is
the whip Used by the mounted
herdsmen and the other is the
crook Of the sheep herderS.
The whips are the pride and
joy Of the herdSmen and they
are works Of art. The handles
are usually decorated in one
way or another.
The shepherds staff has a
metal crook at one end and this
crook is so shaped that it will
fit neatly around the sleeps
black leg. When a sheep begins
to wander the shepherd need
only reach out, catch the wan
derer'S hind leg, and he is
brought back to the fold.

Az LENGTH we are be-
"A ginning to face realities,
and business is now making
concessions to necessity. The
life insurance companies, be-
ginning with the New York
Life, have, within the week,
announced a definite policy
in reference to the mortgages
they hold on farms. The
foreclosure on farms that has
been going on tragically for
a long while is one Of the
most threatening aspects OF
our economic situation. Just
now American farms are
burdened with a debt exceed
ing that Of the debtor nations
to this country by a full
billion. The figure is appal-
ling $12,5Oo,O 100000. The
foreclosure trend, continued
at the rate Of the recent
past 1T goes back four
years - would result in
sweeping vast numbers of
food producers from the
acres they have owned and
on which they are dependent
for a livelihood. There is a
vast difference between the
mortgaged farm owned by a
nonproducer and leased to a
tenant, and the farm occu-
pied and cultivated by the
owner. The insurance COM
panies have made the dis
elimination in the policy
they have announced.
