finers were represented at the recent
conference with Secretary of the In

Criticizing the conference minority
which declined to go along with its
recommendations, Holmes said:
Are we going to allow part OF the
press, with misinformation or lack of
full information, and few uniformed,
misguided politicians to ruin the oil in
dustry and perpetuate a scandal that
makes the Oil scandals of the Harding
administration look like petty graft
and larceny"
Program Suggested.
Holmes suggested the following four
point program:
"The honest application and enforce

tax laws on all alike without exception.
"The enforcement of the conservation
laws on all alike without exception.

LONDON, June 2 G.N.S0.
Separation of the foreign debt

problems at the forthcoming

INEVITABLE" Chancellor Of the
Exchequer Neville Chamberlain
told the House of Commons

Chamberlain discussed the debt
issue in some detail after David

were some means Britain might
state her case for modification or
cancellation at the conference
without resorting to default when
the next installment falls due

Regarding the decision to place
debt discussions in the hands OF
a separate body, apart from the
conference itself, Chamberlain
said:
"What can 30 or 40 nations
do or say on the subject OF the
debts?
"No, it is to be discussed be-
tween the parties concerned"
LONDON, June 2 GN.S0'
Great Britain will fail to pay
the June IS debt instalment to
the United States in full, the
London Daily Mail said in an
editorial today. It declared:
"There can be no question
of payment of the instalment
in full by this country. The
most it could afford without
precipitating a currency crisis
would be a token payment Of =
few million dollars. A token
payment on our part would
avoid default"

Dear Mr.. President:

Hitherto. nobody has h e a r d

capitalists or Communists-if we

raised q lot of Cain-maybe the
master minds would have con-
suited us. But. being just plain,
patient plodders, we've had to
take what was handed us.
But things do seem looking up!
There's Capone, getting his. And
other smart boys being investi-
gated. So perhaps our day is com
ing at last. That's why I'm tax

We couldn't wait in bread-hnes

like the richest. We just had TO

Of course, we haven't heard all

Burgoyne Trail Camp Is Called
"Country Club for Civilized
Persons" Writer Finds
BY LEIGH MATTESON
international News Service Science
Writer


NEW YORK, June 2 GN.S0.
While Haunting the taboo
against nakedness, the interna-
tional nudist conference is re-
viving the taboo against alcohol
in all nudist groups organized
under its auspices, it was diScov-
cred during the investigation Of
the nudist movements increased
growth this year in the United
States.
According to Drs. Henry S.
Huntington and Ilsley Boone,
former clergymen, who. organized
the conference, alcohol and
nakednesS do not mix.
One Drink Enough
At their exclusive new mile
square nudiSt camp, Burgoyne
trail, in the Berkshires, near Otis,
Mass, Drs. Huntington and Boone
consider the mere possession Of
q single drink of alcoholic liquor
sufficient cause for the election
of any member from the grounds
and cancellation of his or her
membership. DR.. Boone said:
even if a member had paid
over $1,000 for life membership
and had erected an approved
bungalow on the grounds, the
possession or use Of liquor would
be punished by election from
the grounds and cancellation Of
membership"
Written Consent
DR.. Boone also said proof that
liquor was used or possessed by
members at camps under the
auspices of the conference likewise
would result in dismissal of that
camp and it's officials from the
conference.
Another important regulation
enforced by the conference bars
the acceptance to membership by
any nudiSt group of an individual
husband or wife who has not OBJ
tained the written consent Of his
or her mate to indulge in group
nakedneSS.
Only under these two prohibi-
tory regulations are members ac-
cepted by any of the many new
nudist organizations which have
joined the international nudiSt
conference.
Not In Evidence
At Burgoyne trail, which its
operators claim is "a country club
for civilized persons" and mot a
nudist colony" the taboo against
alcohol is apparently enforced.
At none of the other camps
visited by this writer was any
evidence Of alcohol noted.
A member of Burgoyne Trail is
not member, but an associate, :"
even if he or she is guest on
the grounds only for the week
end, at an entrance fee cost of $40.
Several married couples with
children also enjoyed the practice
of nudism.

LOCAL LIONS
HEAR TALK ON
COUNTY TAXES

Reduction in the county tax rate
and the unemployment problems of
the valley formed the two main
themes of the address given this
noon by Hugh T. Osborne, super
visor, for the Lions club at the
weekly meeting in the Barbara
Worth.
Osborne pointed out that the tax
rate had been cut by the board of
supervisors from, S313 per S100 val
uation to $1.30, the sum of $l20
having been dropped by virtue of
the Riley-Stewart amendment. He
described in detail the amounts div
erted to each fund from the tax
dollar, and the reduction in amounts
this year over the previous year.
In discussing the unemployment
situation, Osborne pointed out that
the sum of $4,000 was available
for use in this county from the $40
100000 allotted to the state by the
federal government.
DR.. Warren F.. Fox, county health
officer, delighted the cub with a
solo played on his famous "depres-
sion fiddle after which he spoke
on the health problems of the coun-
ty.
Using as a basis the 1880 census
which showed an approximate pop
ulation of 60,903, one-third of which
was Mexican, DIR. Fox pointed out
the problems arising from mix
ture of races and nationalities. He
also stated that the $500 miles of
irrigation canals which supply
drinking water to many are
possible source of health problems.
The transients, many suffering from
malnutrition and ailments, with the
above factors make Imperial VAL
ley's health situation one with pos
sibilitieS for epidemics.
