thought of that moment many times

The trip was worse than Big Tom
had anticipated. The Rio Diablo val
ley had been held for two years in
the tenacious grip of an unrelenting
sun. The Devil River had dwindled
in size until it wound through its
rock ribbed channel like a red hot
wire. The plains cupped up like a
copper brazier, bound by far circle
of red-gold hills.
THE native families were starving

trains from the Gulf coast, grew
bone-thin and taciturn. And as

dross of artificial living from each,
Judith watched new Norman Dale

fearful drouth was about to be
broken by a storm which might

LEAGUE LOANS
GUT DOWN
IN YEAR

The second annual report Of the
League Loans committee Gon-
don), released for publication in
New York by Speyer & Co.. shows
loans have been reduced from the
original f81 900 900 to &63 900, 900.
About half the loans are meet
ing their service regularly, the re-
port states, while the other half
are in some stage of default.
The League Loans Committee,
of which Sir Austen Chamberlain
is chairman, and Eliot WadSworth
is American member. comprises
British, American and European
members representative Of the
countries which hold the League
Loans"
Fifth Held Here
These loans consist of the Aus
trian guaranteed loan, 1928; Bull
garian Z per cent settlement loan,
1926: Bulgarian 7h per cent sta
bilization loan, 1928; Danzig mu-
nicipality, per cent loan, 1925;
Danzig, free city. 6Ea per cent
loan, 1927; Esthonian per cent
loan, 1924; Greek 7 per cent refu-
gee loan, 1924; Greek 6 per cent
Stabilization loan. 1928. and King
dom of Hungary 7R per cent loan,
1924.
The report shows that about
half the total amount Of league
loans is held in Great Britain and
one-fifth in America. All of them
were raised under the auspices OF
the Leagne of Nations.
The committee draws attention
to the fact that the largest loan
Of all, the Austrian 1923 guaran-
teed loan, is no longer in any
sort of default, raising the proper
ton of loans whose service is
regularly met to something like
SO per cent.
Increase Service
During the year Bulgaria,
Greece and Hungary have all ap-
preciably increased the proportion
of the service of their league
loans which they have undertaken
to transfer.
Bulgaria and Hungary, the COM
mittee reports, have duly executed
their undertakings in this con-
nection. Greece up to the time Of
writing the report, had failed to
do so.
The report describes in detail
the situation of each of the league
loans during the past year.
The committee states that 1t
has closely supported the finan-
cial committee of the League of
Nations in relation to the debtor
countries with which they have
to deal. 1t describes the manner
in which the committee con-
siders that collaboration with the
league works to the benefit Of
all classes of creditors and of the
. debtor countries themselves.
