COOPERATION IS NEEDED

OF all the many steps which must be taken before
the war debt problem is disposed of, only one is
simple and easy. That is intelligent cooperation
between the President and the President-elect
For two and half months that step was de-
layed. Now-if are to credit unofficial reports
of the White House conversation Friday-that step
has been taken.
Official negotiations, of course must wait until
March 4, as made clear by the White House state
ment. But essential preparatory work can be carried
on semi officially Great Britain and others will not
be told March that the administration has
no knowledge of and no interest in what has oc-
CURED before that date.
Details of this arrangement are meager. That
is unimportant. All that the public need know is
that the lame duck system longer is blocking the
conduct of American foreign relations.
Indeed it may be better that the details of the
cooperation between Mr. Hoover and Mr. Roosevelt
remain confidential, the partisan minded sup
porters Of neither make political profit out of
the situation.
The important thing is that preparation for the
long, hard negotiations begin now. In tarch the
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1933-01-21

new President will be busy organizing his admin
istraton. In April he will be calling and dealing
with a special session Of congress- which probably
will be meeting for several months, trying to balance
the budget levy taxes, pass farm relief, repeal
prohibition, and cope with the depression.
BY that time the world economic conference will
be meeting in London and the far eastern crisis will
demand attention.
But, meanwhile the day of wholesale default
foreign debts will be approaching rapidly. When
the debt payments fall due, the debtors will
default-unless a settlement has been made
Such settlement not be made over night.
Several months. at best, are required for the
negotiations, which will cover not only debts but
tariffs and disarmament we'll.
Hence the time element is vital The American
public understands that France and five other
debtors defaulted in December, when Great Britain
and others paid But the public does not understand
that the British in making the December payment
said it the last payment under the present
terms
So we have had fair warning. If we come to next
summer without having afforded the debtors suf-
fcient time to negotiate the settlement they have
been requesting for months we shall be to blame
for the general default that results. Default will
hurt the debtors but it will hurt u.s. as the creditors
much more.
For that reason, it is to be hoped that the I'M
official reports of an effective time-saving arrange
ment between the President and Presdent-elect are
true Obviously, Norman H. Davis who is the close
adviser of Mr.. Roosevelt and still the official repre-
sentative Of Mr. Hoover, and who attended Fridays
White House conference, is capable of handling the
debt liaison work-whether he is to be the new
secretary of state not

LIQUID Diet Given in Pneumonia

Tents have been developed
which may be placed over the
patients as they lie in bed, and
many large hospitals have oxygen
rooms into which the entire bed
may be moved and in which the
nurse may remain and attend the
patient.
Medicine has, of late, developed
specific serums which are shown
definitely to attack the organisms
causing pneumonia and to over
come their toxins.
The physician in attendance
must be responsible for selecting
the serum suitable to the case
concerned. This he does most eff
ficiently when he is able to de-
termine promptly the type of or
ganism causing the disease.
In certain types of pneumonia
the serum is not as valuable as
in others. Apparently the best
results at present are secured in
cases of Type /, which constitutes
approximately IS per cent Of all
cases.

SMALL LOAN INTEREST

Once again the question Of how much institutions
which lend money in amounts under $500 shall be
permitted to charge as interest is before the egs-
lature
At the present time the law allows AZ per cent
year admittedly rate which would destroy any
business or industry if borrowed for purposes of
operation
But this money is borrowed by those whose chief
business is keeping alive borrowed in desperation
and in emergencies
That the business has been than usually
profitable in the past evidenced by the large num-
bers who have gone into it,
All that is required is a license of good moral
character any public official is capable of pass
ing such subject. No one of the companies is
compelled to file report with the state. There is
official information what profits are made
how much money is loaned in this manner, how
great the losses because of failure to pay.
The question of what is fair rate of interest
has become matter of debate between money
lenders and those who object that the present legal
rate is intolerable and too heavy for those who
least can afford to pay.
The commission which recommended changes in
the banking laws made no worthwhile suggestions
to reforms, and reforms admittedly needed
That commission did not attempt to pass upon, but
did by inference ndorse the present rate Of interest
Bills in former legislatures have been mysterious
ly killed although they have been presented at re-
curing sessions Some of the measures have I'M
doubtedly been introduced in bad faith in behalf
of lobbyists later hired to suppress them. Others
presented popular demand
One suggestion of control which seems worth
consideration graduated rate Of interest on the
amount of the loan Obviously it costs more to give
and collect loan of $40 than it does one of $500,
figured in percentages
If the AZ per cent is fair to the $40 borrower it
is unfair to the $500 borrower
The first reform should be to drag the whole
business out into the open and make it subject to
official scrutiny No license should be issued to those
who refuse to give the public the facts for after ALL
If it has any justification in the social order it is
public business dealing with the most delicate rela
tionships of life.
The power to fix interest rate might be left
power Of review by the Governor.
Before any law is passed, the whole business
should be brought out into the OPEN The companies
should have chance to defend their rates. if they
can and defend them openly not in huddles with
legislators.
The people, too, should have chance to speak
and make emphatic their demands that this business
be not permitted to place heavy burdens upon des-
perate people.
In the meanwhile, the credit union idea is fast
growing and the day may arrive when cooperative
lending may make the whole business obsolete and
Improbable.

aged to make a go of it. After
being out of work for year, he
took his small remaining capital
and sank it all in the purchase
of a semi abandoned farm some
where in New Hampshire.
He and his family repaired the
house and then began the arduous
task of raising stuff on which
they could keep going.
NV friend informed me that
he had not seen money for weeks
and months and was very doubt
full as to whether he ever would

barter.
Yet in spite of the fact that

tically no purchasing power, they

avoid hunger.

ceptional family Besides, there

TWO MILLION JOBS WAITING

AS Secretary of Agriculture Hyde prepares to
step out of the cabinet he at last to the pos
sibilty of national forests employing idle men at
work of definite value to the nation.
year ago Mr. Hyde was laughing merrily at
suggestions by Franklin D. Roosevelt that this be
done
Today, in response to questioning from another
New Yorker interested in public employment, sena-
tor Wagner Mr.. Hyde reports that work waiting to
be done in the national forests alone could keep
two million men busy for month
He finds that the cost Of this work, based on
wages of $3.50 day in the west and $2.40 a day
in the east would cost only 900, or half of
the amount provided last summer fer hunger loans.
For this money the United States would receive
protection of the national forests from their most
deadly enemy, fire. Fences would be built to pro-
tect ranges. Water resources would be developed.
Public camps would be improved.
New trees would be planted to replace denuded
and eradication of insects and plant diseases
would be FASTENED.
$15000000O might be invested 1t would save the
nation many times that sum in preventing floods,
checking erosion holding back silt keeping farm
lands fertile and conserving timber supplies to say
nothing of the saving huger doles and the preser
walton of self-respect in two million men, able to
Wagner's query and Hydes response have paved
the way for action, which should be undertaken at
once by congress.

rails, snails, sponges and other
forms of life have been studied by
these scientific Adventures in all
parts of the globe.
One of them, Alan Motley, has
been exploring the steppes river
basins of Siberia in a search for
new varieties of snails. Two
others, w. G. Sheldon and Rich
ard Borden, went to the Peace
river territory of British Columbia
in search of little known varieties
of mountain sheep They brought
back collection of 146 mammals
to the museum.
DR.. Hugh M. Smith brought back
many species of animals and
fishes, previously unknown, from
Siam.
The object of all these explora-
lions, officials of the Smithsonian
Institution point out, is to dis
cover and make known what liv"
ing things actually exist.
1t is impossible to tell, they say,
at what time any of this informa-
ton may take on sudden and con-
siderable Importance to human
welfare.
The searches of the institution
include the fossil remains of an

Study the San

A LII expeditions from the
4 n Smithsonian Institution,
however, are not interested in the
subject of biology. One search
during the last year was to find
the highest and driest spot in the
eastern hemisphere.
The site was wanted for an as
Economical observatory, at which
the suns radiation could be meas
ured daily.
This search ended with the
choice of Mt st. Catherine on the
Sinai peninsula, not far from Mt.
Sinai. In fact, some Biblical au-
thoritieS think that it is much
more likely that the mountain
which Moses is said to have as
cended was Mt. st. Catherine and
not Mt. Sinai.
The Smithsonian Institution
now maintains a number of OBJ
servatories in different parts of
the world, where 1uctus lions in
the amount of heat and light ra-
dated by the sun are recorded
daily.
DR.. Charles G. Abbot, the secre-
tary of the Smithsonian Institu-
ton, and himself a famous as
tronomer, believes that the day
will come when it will be possible
to predict weather for long
periods of tirle from a study of
the suns radiation.
Other expeditions collected rare
minerals in Mexico and prehis-
toric tools and weapons from Eur
ope.
During 1882 total of 1880
specimens were added to the
United States National Museum.
The national museum is sup
ported by the United States
government but is operated by the
Smithsonian institution.
The institution is headed by
board of regents, of which the
chancellor is Chief Justice Charles
Evans Hughes.

it. This is particularly so during
a period in which many who have
lived on the land for generations
are losing their farms to the tax
collectors and the mortgage hold
ers.
Debt, which is sitting industry
throughout America, hardly has
spared the farm from its pressure.
I'm farmer myself in a
miniature way. There are four
acres in the estate and I suppose
one Or two Of them might be titled
if you knew how to begin. Possibly
I'm not doing myself justice. I
know how to begin, but the second
step in the process of raising q
crop is mysterious so far as I'm
concerned.
My plantation happens to be il
Connecticut. If you want anys
thing to grow, you first must req
move the rocks which lie clustered
along the surface of the soil. Then
you start digging to get at the
second layer of rocks. Below them
are other rocks and so on to in
fnity, as far as I know.

Just Plain Sense
. BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

QUIETLY and automatically" writes an agitated
~ gentleman. women have entered every field of
endeavor. They control 70 per cent of national
wealth and this gives them almost tyrannical power
The greatest fallacy committed by the voters
of the country was to grant suffrage to women and
put them on par with men. The consequences have
Been disastrous"
Disastrous to whom may ask? Certainly not to
women, if to take these words as truth And
so long as there are now many more women on
earth than men, it seems to me that this may prove
nothing more startling than that victory goes to the
strong-a pet masculine contention you will re-
member.
Thirteen years is very short time in the history
of a country, And if in thirteen years American
women have been able to grab 70 per cent of money
from the men-who also seem quite fond of hay
ing it-and of taking jobs right out from under male
noses, then I think we're pretty smart.
Indeed, it strikes me that we deserve suffrage
than the gentlemen do especially if we are
to Judge the question by the benefits we ourselves
have derived from it,
CERTAINLY to force such astute and determined
~ creatures into retirement, now when We stand in
dire need of subtety and diplomacy and acumen in
our relationships WlIn OJner countries, would a
very Short-sghted policy
If we're so expert-and has not the gentleman
argued that?-why not put us into the cabinet and
see what We can do? Obviously it would be absurd
to restrict powers to mere kitchen work, as he
advocates
Upon sober second thought I feel sure he will
his opinion For, according to all our leaders
want than anything else these days, power
intelligence, jobs, money prosperity for America and
Americans. That being the case, perhaps it would
be we'll to turn everything over to the ladies for
time
If we able by sheer force of personality and
wit to take away his rights and his money from the
splendiferous American in only thirteen years,
We could have the world in our. pockets within the
next half century.

FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT
L has expressed the opinion that
one of the best immediate rem
edies for unemployment is to get
as many people back to the land
as possible.
It seems to me that it makes a
good deal of difference, just who
is going where and what they will
do when they get there. Obvious
ly it will hardly help to have
more corn, wheat, or cotton grown
upon land which now lies fallow.
The farmer is just about the
most unhappy member of the en-
tire community. In many cases he
hasn't even been able to keep
from going hungry. With a little
bad luck in the weather he can
come as close to starvation as any
city chap.
