TYD|NGS WILLING
TO RESIGN POST
Would Let Ritchie Become
Senior Senator if Prom
ised Reappointment.
BY stafr Correspondent of The Star.

BY Stan Correspondent OF Inc star.
BALTIMORE, Md, June 25.-As
his latest move in the interest of
party harmony" Senator Millard E.
Tydings has offered to relinquiIh his
rank as senior Senator from Mary
land.
The purpose of such move, which
would involve a temporary "reslgna-
ton" on the part of The Senator,
would be to induce GOV Ritchie to
run for the Senate on ticket headed
by George L. Radcliffe.
I'D be willing to let the Governor
be the senior Senator from Maryland
If he will give up his f1fth-term idea
and run for the Senate" Senator
Tydings said.
Would Me Junior Senator.
'If he wanted me to, after ne was
elected, I'd resign from the Senate and
then-of course I'd have to be sure
would become the senior Senator
Being reappointed, I'd 60 back as the
junior Senator.
I'm willing to do anything to get
winning ticket in the field"
In view of the heated verbal eX
changes that have been carried on in
the press betwene Gov. Ritchie and
Senator Tydings during the past week.
however, political observers say the
chance of a compromise between
Ritchie and Radcliffe now is almost
impossible.
The likelihood of any plan involv-
ing the resignation Of Senator Tydings
also was pictured as being exceedingly
remote.
Claimed Senator after" Him.
1t was recalled that Gov. Ritchie
claimed the Senator had made it plain
that he is after" him and that the
Tydings forces have held that the
only possible outcome of the present
situation is either Radcliffe for Gov
ernor and Ritchie for the Senator, or
an out-and-out Radcliffe -Ritchie pri-
mary"
Over the week end it was reported
the TydingS group has discussed the
prospective primary with Mayor Jack
son of Baltimore, another candidate
for the Democratic gubernatorial
nomination. and it is understood some
Radcliffe supporters have suggested
the Senate to the mayor.
Other followers of Radcliffe are said
to be opposed to such a move on the
ground it would make his ticket too
much of city slate. They still hope
to have States Attorney Herbert R.
O'Conor run for attorney general on
the Radcliffe ticket.

The first of the reciprocal trade
treaties will be announced very soon.
1t is with Colombia. Negotiators COM
pleted it several weeks ago, but it
cannot be made public until it is rati-
fed by the Colombian senate That
is Just as we'll No boats are waiting
with steam up for the ratification OF
that treaty. You could carry all the
trade it will promote in the side
pocket of your car.
Other Treaties to Follow.
1t will be followed by treaties with
Cuba, several other Latin American
nations and, possibly, two or three
European countries. These. like the
Colombian treaty, will be all to the
good, but not good enough to make
any substantial difference in the total
volume of trade.
The reason for that was disclosed in
the recently published Peek report.
The world owes us billions (private
and public debts). Mr.. Peek con-
cluded that, inasmuch as they cannot
pay US, we should sell them more
goods. He wants them to pay us with
goods shipped to US.
That sounds good, but every one
here knolDS our main trouble rotD
is that we cannot consume enough
TO Keep our oDn factories and
farms going.
Hence, Mr.. Peek must confne
himself to things tge do not pro-
duce. That makes it a penny ante
game among billi0n-dolldr players.
Mr. Peek is such an enthusiast that
he is not troubled about such things,
but he has personal worries, just the
same.
These center around the fact that,
while he is the foreign trade adviser,
others seem to be more influential in
handling the problem. The leading
one is Assistant State Secretary Fran
els Sayre. He negotiates all treaties.
Mr.. Peek, not being an official of the
State Department, cannot have any
thing to do with making treaties.
(The State Department saw to that
But all foreign trade agreements must
be IN the form of treaties.
Adviser in Second Degree.
That leaves Mr.. Peek in the position
of an adviser in the second degree.
1t is quite clear that some one is
fooling some one else on the inside of
this thing.
One of the presidential advisers was
suggesting, of-the-record, the other
day:
II think the greatest recovery
step lDhich could be taken in this
country right noW is for every one
to stop yelling. There should be
moratorium for three months on
complaining by business, labor and
all those not suffering real hard
ships.
"Here Is business, half recovered,
bleating about profits, extra hours,
union leaders and what-not Here is
labor, working under as good condi-
tions generally as it ever had, bowling
to high heaven because it cannot have
everything it wants.
IF every one would shut up and
work hard just for a trial period, the
country would be lot better Off"
The gentleman who made these re-
marks knew we'll enough what a
storm would break around his head if
he ever came forward openly with
such proposal.

Indian Brought to Capital
To Preserve Sign Language

Work of Late Gen. Scott.

from the Atlantic TO the Pacific. The
signs which followed specified the
nature of the Water-river, lake,
verbs, rather than adjectives in con-
formity with the structure of most
of the spoken languages Of the In
dians. Thus most of the languages
could not have given such an ex-
preston as "the tall, white building"
Instead the expression would be some
thing like: The building. it tails,
it whites"
Indian World Animistic.
The Indian lived in an animistic
world. All things were alive, moving,
acting The greenness of grass was
not an inert quality of grass. 1t was
part Of the active behavior of grass.
The grass "greened" just as it grew,
fluttered in the wird. etc. The snow
''whited" and "colded" just as it fell
or drifted.
This concept found expression in
both sign language and spoken Ian
guage.
The origin of language has been
the subject of mucn ingenious specu-
lation. The probability is that it
had a multiple and quiet complex
beginning in both signs and spoken
sounds. Thus the simplest way to
convey the idea of wolf" might have
been by initiating the bark of the
animal. Then, py pointing to some
colored object, primitive man would
have been able to indicate the color of
the thing that barked. So red
wolf would have been a combina-
ton Of sound and sign.
1t was easier and quicker to make
the sound than the sign. So gradually,
it is probable, the sign element of
language was dropped altogether and
arbitrary infections or variations of
the sound adopted to include its mean
ing. Long before the dawn of history
language everywhere had been stripped
of its signs and became purely vocal,
with written symbols as a secondary
development.
Or, rather, 1t might be said the sign
system and the word system were split
and went their own ways From the
latter has come the enormous and
elaborate babel of the world today,
the worlds literature. etc. The former
has survived, in its most perfect form.
in this intertribal symbol system of
the North American aboriginals.
Rescued by Gen. Scott and Mr. San
derville, it may be the basis of an ideal
international language of the future,
enabling easy communication between
all peoples and at the same time leav-
ing the world languages, with which
are bound up enormous amounts Of
sentiment. undisturbed.
The great advantage is that it is
Independent of any spoken or written
language. 1t would be easy enough to
construct a sign language based on any
one verbal language from English to
Monaghan. Definite signs would stand
for definite words or for the sounds
making up words. But this system
does not depend upon a previous
knowledge of words. The signs stand
for things and qualities of things di-
rectly, not secondarily through words.

CHICAGO, June 25.-Rescued by an

story of a battle against Lake Michi

him back and supported him while we
righted the boat.
Then we were knocked over again.
I had hold of KuhnS, but was very
weary. He realized he was pulling me
down and suddenly said good-by and
let go of me. We didn't see him again.
Thomas and 1 got the boat righted
