LA LIGA DE DUENOS DE

Jacksonville, oct. 20.-La Ii

mienda librando de contribu-
clones a los hogares con un va
lor menor de $4,000, cree que

suficientes con que atender a

LOS oponentes de ia enmien
de, dice la liga, concentran SD
fuego en- ell punto de que no ha-
bra dinero para costear los gas
tos de las escuelas. La verdad
es que la oposici6n tira a dos
hlancos, ell efecto sobre las es-
escuelas y que la enmienda no
lexceptue de deudas a los hoga-
res pequenos.
"Cuando sabemos que gran
des establecimientos, cuyas
mercanclas valen millones de

unos pocos miles de pesos, nos
maravillamos y pasamOs a

parte justa de las contribueio-

rainbow trout, not only eats out
of his owners hand, but insists
on having its back scratched aft

Fat and lazy, the trout seems
to have enjoyed its six year So
journ in a glass tank at the
South State Fish market here.
ne fish has assured itself a long
life by learning a routine of
tricks.
Jumbo" likes men and when
he sees Herbert Hyde, the owner,
go to the chopping block, no
chills 90 down his back for fear
he will soon be lying there minus
a head. Instead, he tensely fol-
lows Hyde until his meal is
thrown to him. He slowly glides
to the surface of his glass tank,
munches the food, then glides
back and forth across the mans
fingers.

Will Revise
School Courses

HOUSTON, Texas. April q
UP).-Revision of high school
curriculum to prepare children
for world in which leisure will
be major consideration is the
task before educators, according
to DR.. Edison Ellsworth ODER
hotter, new president of the de-
partment of superintendent of
the National Education assocla-
ton.
DIR. Oberholtzer, superintend-
ent of Houston schools for the
past 10 years, looked upon his
election to the highest office of
the N.E.A. with great concern.
PIONEERING PAST
Pioneering has past, he said,
and it will be the duty of high
schools to prepare children for
wise use of the leisure time that
will become such an important
part in living.
Public school training may be
! heightened, Oberholtzer ventur-
ed. to meet the new economic sit
uation. Thus educated men and
women would enter the field of
competitive business much later
and be in it a shorter time, tax
ing several years from social
reimbursement to leisure time.
He believes children should be
trained to think more in terms of
helpful work for the common So
cial good and less in terms of
material success.
NEW PROGRAMS
Necessary as this change is, he
said, those who make the new
school programs are "betwixt the
devil and the deep blue sea-" On
the one hand is the need for the
new curriculum to adjust chill
dren to the new world of greater
leisure and on the other hand is
an economic pressure demanding
curtailment of the very activi-
ties introduced to meet the social
demand.
DR.. Oberholtzer has two cours-
es for high school students here.
One is for those who plan to con-
tinue their education at institu-
tions of higher learning. The
other is for those who will end
their training with a high school
diploma. The latter is a general
course. designed to round out an
education as nearly as possible
during the four years.

law even if they might not stand
in any international code of
morals.
VITAL LINK
They know Russia has gone to
war about the railway before
they know it is a vital link in
/ Russian communications; many of
them believe it is essential to
any foreign policy in Moscow
which envisages Russia as play
| ing her traditional role of one of
the dominant powers in the ORR
emit, $500
The Chinese Eastern railway
commonly is cited as a primary
cause for ,war-Japan controls
the railway because she controls
Manchoukuo. Russia will fight
to get it back.
That is sound reasoning as far
as it goes. But it does not go far
enough.
The history of the Chinese
Eastern railway is a long, long
story. 1t goes back to the last
century. 1t was, and is, only one
part of Russia's dream of an ice
free port in the Pacific-of con-
troll of the tremendous trade OF
Cathay and the Orient.
| The Chinese Eastern was built
in the day of Russian penetra-
ton into Northern Asia after the
| Boxer uprising of 1900 when the
Car was carrying forward a
scheme which envisaged complete
control of Manchuria and Korea
PART OF 1905 PATTERN
1t was part of a pattern which
led to the Russo-Japanese war OF
/ 1905 which ended in japanese
victory, in japanese control OF
Korea, in Japan becoming tho
dominant power in Manchuria.
Russia sustained set back
from which, so far as her Oricn
tai policy is concerned, she never
has recovered.
1t is a remembrance of thi:
war possibly, which caused Mos
cow to offer to sell the Chinese
Eastern to Manchoukuo last
spring.
That is point many Ameri
can observers are overlooking

PRINCE TO We'd
SOCIETY GIRL
Bertil of Sweden Resigns
Regal Rights to Marry
a Comm0ner

STOCKHOLM, Sweden. April
2.-UP).-The flight of Swed-
ish royal sons from their regal
rights to beautiful but rankless
maidens among the cOmmoners
continued Saturday with the an
nouncement that young Prince
Bertil is renouncing his status to
marry for love.
Bertil, third son of Crown
Prince Gustav Adolf, intends to
wed young Stockholm society
girl, Christina Brambeck, daugh-
ter of an army captain, he advis-
ed his parents.
The 22-year-old Bertil, like his
brother Sigvard and cousin Prince
Lennart. declared he was uninter-
ed in the fact his marriage will
deprive him of his right to sue
coed to the throne of Sweden.
However, despite the distress of
his grandfather, King Gustav,
over the rapid assertions of his
family, it was generally believed
Bertil, like the others, will be
forgiven.
He served as a naval cadet
during his educational training
days. After the marriage of Sig
ward recently in London to a
German screen actress, Bertil be-
came third in line for the throne.
Ahead of him were his father
and Gustav Adolf, his eldest bro
Their.
His marriage plans follow
quickly on the marriage of Sig
ward. who wed Erika Patzek, the
actress. in London on March 8,
despite strenuous efforts by the
Swedish royal family to dissuade
him.
Prince Lennart, first cousin to
Bertil. a son of the kings sec
ond son, renowned his royal
standing to marry Miss Karin
Nissvandt.
However, the current of cpl
demic of marrying commoners is
nothing new in the Bernadotte
family. Bernadotte is the royal
family name. Count Folke Berna-
dotte. another cousin of Bertil,
married Miss Estelle Manville of
New York, in 1923.
Also, Prince Oscar, younger
brother of King Gustav, renounc-
ed his royal status as long ago
as 1888, before royalty lost some
of its prewar prestige, to marry
Miss Ebba Munc, lady-in-waiting
to the queen.

NAILS PREFER
LIBERALS TO
BRAIN TRUST
Invariably Entrust Their
Leading Positions to
Practical Men
By PAUL KEcHKEMETl
United Press Staff Correspondent

BERLIN. April 2. - CUP -
Germany's Nazi rulers do not be-
Iieve in "brain trusts"
They invariably entrust lead
ing positions to hardfisted prac-
tical men rather than to theoretl-
clans.
The most striking example of
this is the Nais' economic policy.
Economic reform played
prominent part in the Nazis' po-
iitical propaganda. Accordingly,
a Nazi "brain trust" producing
striking plans for radical recon
struction of the country's whole
economic edifice, was kept busy
all the time before and after the
Nazis had come to power. But
the plans remained in allegiance
and real power was denied the
theorists.
THEoRIsT IGNORED
Gottfried FEEDER, foremost Nazi
economic reformer and head OF
the Nazi "btain trust" has be,
come only under-secretary OF
state at the ministry of commerce
"a post at which he is unable to
accomplish any of his far reach
ing plans.
Germany's economic policy is
not in the hands of FEEDER, or OF
any member of the Nazi "bralr
trust" but in the hands of a tri'
umvirate which has no regard fol
programs and theories.
This triumvirate consists OF
Minister of Commerce Kurt
Schmitt, one of Germany's most
successful business men before he
entered the cabinet, Reichsbank
President Hialmar Schacht, the
currency wizard, and Wilhelm
Keppler, Hitler's personal adviser
on economic matters.
CAUTIOUS LIBERALS
What these men actually dc
cannot be fitted into any system
of Nazi political economy. MAJ
economics are based upon the re-
lection of liberalism; Schmitt
Schacht and Keppler,. however. ir
the light Of their actions appear
to be old-fashioned, cautious lib
erals.
This does not mean, of course
that the Nazis disregard all thee
ries. The race theory, for in
stance, is the official teaching OF
the Nazi state which it is forbid
den to contradict. But while the
Nazis' theories are rigid, then
actions are more and more
elastic. Their "brain trusts are
more and more isolated; they
tend to be restricted to pure
thory; and their theories otter
become unrecognizable when they
are put into practice.

when 7 stepped off the Chichibu
Marl at San Francisco after nine
wears as a United Press staff cor
RESPONDENT in the Orient.
It had been asked me aboard
the steamer enroute from Yoko-
hama: it was asked me in Los
Angeles. in Hollywood, in Las
Vegas, in Salt Lake, in Cheyenne,
in Denver. in Kansas City, in
Chicago-in New York.
1t was asked aboard trains. in

subways and even in airplanes.
1t is apparent great many
Americans think Russo-Japa-
nese war is imminent. Many of
them believe it will come this

Why?
THE ANSWER
Apparently because most Amer
leans think Russians and Japa-
nese would fight about the things
over which Americans would
fight.
Americans know Japan is sole
sponsor of the Independent state
of Manchoukuo which was Man
churia. which was part OF
China.
They know Manchoukuo con-
trolls the Chinese Eastern railway
has renamed it the North Man
churian railway. They know Rus
STA claims ownership of the line
that Japan has admitted, tacit-
| ly at least. tina tRussian claims
have a standing in international
