my mother was a girl she was

PARIS. March 8.-The cabinet of
Premier CASTOR Doumergue yesterday
decided to let the troublesome ques-
ton of the war debt sleep
His four-m man foreign policy direc-
tory fears discussion OF a course OF
action on the problem would be like
waving q red flag before the con-

Deputies toward payment.
Rumors Denied.
officials said there were no founda-
tions to rumors in Chamber lobbies
that the government is considering
regularizing the American debt pos
sibly by token payment,
The cabinet, it was said, would
take no action while Parliament is
in recess, thus avoiding placing before
the deputies an accomplished fact.
-Four ministers-Andre Tardieu,
Pierre Laval, Pierre Flandin and Louis
Marin-who are bitterly opposed to
payment. were said to be successfully
keeping Vice Premier Edouard Her
riot, champion of payment, muzzled-
Attitude Awaited.
The cabinets decision to let the
matter lie followed upon a recent de-
mand by Deputy Henry Haye, who
fayors payments, for a statement Of
the governments attitude
No decision on debt payments has
been made since December, 1882,
when France defaulted.
In recent months the successive
cabinets have been described as too
busy with internal affairs to take up
the question. With domestic affairs
quieter, however, since Doumergue
took charge, and the premier given
additional powers, it was learned some
attention has been given war debts.

The Republicans have seven differ
ent and separate groups outside the
original party, the Socialists have
five, the radicals have four the indie
pendentS have four and the Left lex
treme Socialists have two. Each OF
these groups is opposed to the other
but is willing to reach a compromise
with another for the sake Of personal
advantages for its members.
Triumvirate Predicted
Those who view the situation in
France optimistically speak about an
early fall of the Doumergue cabinet
and its replacement by a trlumylrate
to rule without a parliament.
Again the name of Gen Weygand
is suggested as one Of the trIumvirs,
with Tardieu and some other member
Of the Right as his assistants.
This idea will find undoubtedly a
following in Paris. which is, as H
whole, nationalistic, but it is uncertain
what attitude the provinces may take
Weygand is a typical cavalry officer

ways Spick and span, In his younger

Catholic. On his return to Paris he

Beck Returns to Warsaw.

Col Beck the foreign minister Of
Poland. has just returned to Warsaw
from Moscow, where he had been on
a mission of peace and friendship.
He has elevated the Polish legation
in the capital of the Soviet Republic
to the rank of an embassy Relations
between Russia and Poland have
greatly improved in recent months.
AS token of friendship Stain has
presented Marshal Pilsudsky, the die
tator of Poland, with a bunch of in
teresting documents. He sent him
the bundle containing the incrimi-
mating papers of the old regime
against the field marshal when he
was young and an active revolutionist.
Stain, a careful man, had the doc
uments photostated first.
Both dictators had been in the
shadow of the galloWs during the
Czarjst regime. Pilsudsky was ter
rorist and Stain was the leader of
band of bank robbers. The Com
munist party had no money and they
had to get it wherever it could be
found.

One of Stalin's greatest achieve
me1ts was the robbing of bank and
of train the same day.
He walked into a bank in Novot-
chirkask (Southern Ukraine) in full
daylight and took $685. 900. AS a
hiding place he found no other place
than the stove in his room. While he
was out, somebody started fire and
the money was burned. Stain was
indignant, but did not give up. He
asked his followers to go out with
him in the evening. He stopped a
train carrying money to the governor
general of the Caucasus and made
good the loss the party had incurred
few hours earlier.

In almost every country the Fascist
tide in one form or another is sweep
ing over ancient liberties and ancient
systems.

The NaziS are lying low and no one
knows their strength Germany has
called off Theodor Habicht, Nazi in
spector for Austria, for the time, and
Is not preparing for invasion except
by mental processes of penetration.
But it is too soon yet to believe with
any settled conviction that Austria
can work out a policy Of reconstruc-

and outside there are many dangers.
However, there is not the same ten
sion as a week ago. and European
peace itself depends upon playing for
time until these explosive passions

personality who may create a national

government has been holding con-

far as l can make out 1t is an entirely

who denies belief in dictators, al
though he has ruled as such for the
last year.
The new system will be in the ma

essential differences from italian
Fascism or German Hitlerism Mus
Solini'S conception OF the corporate
state Is supreme control of all ma
tional energy and industry from the
top down Dollfuss wishes to build
state which works from the bottom up.
That is to say. each trade, craft, pro-
fesSion, industry, even each factory
within an industry. will form a kind
of self elfgovernment between workers
and employers. linked up with and
working for the common interests of
this particular corporation or guild.
Stands for Small Industry.
Dollfuss proclaims his intention to
prevent the exploitation of the work.
ing classes by employers. Just as he
was hostile to the eXploita ton of the
middle class by labor. which he be
lieyed was the result Of social democ-
racy in Vienna. He wishes to protect
small industries and individual bust
nesses within the framework of a
corporate state.
1t is an endeavor to put into actual
ity as national system the principles
of social justice laid down in en-
cyclicalS on labor by Leo XIII and his
successors.

CAB ORDINANCES

Taxi Rates Here Would Be
Doubled If New Acts
Are Passed.

Two ordinances which, if adopted,
will mean doubling of taxicab rates
in indianapolis, will be up for con-
sideration of city councilmen to-
night.
The ordinances ban fat rate
charges, and set out specific mileage
rates to be charged.
AS an example of the effect the
ordinances would have on cab fares,
if adopted, the charge under the new
rate for the trip from Meridian and
Washington streets to Thirty-eighth
and College avenue, would be $1.35,
whereas some companies now charge
only As cents for the drive.
The rates specified in the or
dinance are: First mile, Is cents;
each two-thirds mile additional, 10
cents, and for each three minutes
of accumulated waiting time, 10
cents.
