Would Welcome
French Payment

WASHINGTON, March 16. U.P)-
Payment by France of its defaulted
war debt installment of $4,000, 900
would be "doubly welcome" to the
United States at this time, it was
said today at the state depart
ment.
This was the departments re-
action to press reports that France
was considering the payment. Of
ficials said, however, that they had
received no assurance of this
through diplomatic channels.
The statement that the payment
would be welcomed was interpret
ed to mean that by discharging its
defaulted obligation France would
place itself in better position to
negotiate for revision of its entire
81, 900, 100000 war debt.

and assurance obtained that it
would not be repeated unless so in

The carload Of carrots and cab
bage was contributed within a
snort time after the appeal reached
the valley.
On account of the strict military
supervision maintained in Long

barrel needs only a spark to set
off a dangerous explosion.
Relations Strained
Coincident with German develop
ments, Franco-Italian relations are
strained to the greatest extent since
the war.
Italy blameS France for attempt
ing to build a wall with machine
guns and fortresses around Italy,
which is difficult to deny in the
face of the enormous ornaments
recently shipped by Schneiders and
the French Skoda arsenals into
Jugoslavia.
France recently accused Italy OF
delivering rifles into Hungary and
poison gas and war planes into
Austria and Hungary.
On the other side of the picture,
recrudescence of the pre-war "tri-
pie alliance Of Germany, Italy,
Austria and Hungary is seen on the
horizon. Establishment of COM
plete Nazi dictatorship has brought
Germany close to Fascist Italy and
Hungarys militant, nationalistic
regime.
The suspension of parliamentary
government in Vienna suggests a
form of Hitlerism soon will bid
for power in Austria.
Tightening of the bonds between
these countries is inevitable as a

land and the little entente-Rou-
mania, Jugoslavia and Czechoslo-
vakia.
The excited indignation of Ger
man newspapers after Poland land
ed 100 soldiers at the Westerplatte
munitions depot in Danzig last
week flashed the spotlight on Ger
man-Polish tension. The situation
on the French frontier with armed
Nazis reported active in forbidden
territory, also is potentially dan
gerouS.
Germany Unprepared
Ascension of the Hitler regime to
unrestrained power and its Stimu-
lation of anti-French and anti
Russian sentiments, tended to undo
within a fortnight the steady i'm
provement of German friendship
with France and the Soviets which
Rathenou and Stresemann nurtur-
ed after the war.
Germany is unprepared for a
major war, but the imminent col
lapse of the Geneva arms confer
ence would be a certain signal for
Germany's speedieSt re-armament
That is why England and France
have been striving so desperately to
prevent the arms conference from
breaking up. France is aghast at
the prospect of Germany'S with
drawal from the conference, her
reputation of the Versailles treaty
which keeps her militarily impo-
tent-and her immediate re-arma-
ment
The impending conference of the
British and Italian premiers, pos
sibly including Hitler, is directed
toward averting that development.
England and France hope by some
concession to keep Germany in
line.

MEDFORD, Ore, March 16. -
Medford's three year political feud
led to bloodshed today when Lie
wellyn A. Banks, former publisher
of the Medford Daily News and
leader of the insurgents, shot and
killed Constable George Prescott.
The shooting occurred when
Prescott went to Banks palatiai
home to arrest the eccentric pub
lishes and fruit grower, on a grand
jury indictment.
When Prescott stepped to his
door, Banks made good his oft re-
peated threat to shoot the first Of
ficer who attempted to arrest him
again.
An hour elapsed before the pub
Usher was arrested. He submitted
readily.
AS he left under police escort he
walked to a spot near the front
stoop where Presscott's body still
lay, looked at in without speaking
then rejoined his captors.
Banks said that if he is brought
to trial he will plead insanity and
would never hang"

SOME CHILDREN HAVE NO RESIS-

A reader who was born 80 miles

Is for the purpose Of compelling read
ers to think. The idea Of resistance"
for instance, is so firmly fixed In the
popular mind that one must belabor
the question In order to show how
untenable the idea Is.
Certain children seem exceedingly
susceptible to the common respiratory
infections (c-r-i to you and me,
colds" to scoundrels who insist on
retaining the right to spread disease
indiscriminately), while other children
seldom catch anything worse than
scabies, ringworm or pediculoSis.
Theoretically the latter class have

that means nobody can tell you,

on how to keep up or build up this

there is rumor of an outbreak Of flu
or pneumonia, all the mountebankS
try to beat one another into print
with these rules for the guidance OF
the simple public. Ole Doc Cummins,
head man OF the public health service
bureau In Washington, usually has
the drop on the ambitious state ana
municipal health officers-suspect the
astute Surgeon General keeps his
rules all set up and we'll oiled and

all he has to do Is instruct some doz-

Business Starts Upgrade

Newspaper display advertising in Is
representative cities showed an aver
are increase Of is per cent last month
compared with August, 1882. Bust
ness, government and public are eager
to know Just exactly what that amaz-
ing gain means.
That it reflects renewed confidence
ON the part Of the nations business
there Is not . shadow Of q doubt.
Business does not spend good dollars
on advertising unless it Is reasonably
sure there Is business to be had.
And yet : is per cent increase IN
advertising volume does not neces-
sarily mean q corresponding increase
in business for the advertisers. The
proof Is In the pudding, which, in
this case. IS the business done. And
the proof Is at hand.
There Is no more accurate baro-
meter of business than the weekly re-
port of freight car loadings, and that
barometer's latest reading shows the
business mercury rising rapidly. Sep
tember started her brief career by
running the business barometer up to
it, highest point In two years. The
loadings for the week we're 105,s27
cars in excess Of those for the CORE
spending week Of 1882, and the high
est weekly total since November, 1881.
Here is the corroborating evidence
proving not only that the newspaper
advertising gains reflected business
eains but accounted for them, at least
IN part. More car loadings can mean
only one thing-more business done,
more goods sold.
Those who have sought the reasons
tor this upturn in business after q
slight sag during August all came to
the same conclusion: general bust
ness conditions are better.
