As has been the case since the
end Of the war, the Americans are
again holding the bag.
few weeks ago when the French
Senator Baron Maurice de Rothschild
was in Washington he was given the
privileges of the Senate floor. His
American colleagues gave him warm
reception and we're fiocking round
him TO obtain informations about
Europe.
Senator Couzens asked the
French millionaire banker -pot-
ticidn Whdt he thought about the
German mark and the German
bonds. Why bombed the
Frenchmdn, they hare cheated
Vou again. They made you buy
their worthless marks after the
wdr, then they Dent bankrupt;
they got you to inUeSt money in
their country Immediately after
iDdrd and mill cheat you again.
You mont get 'rond' (ntckel)
out OF them"
Couzens made a sour face and
walked off. The Frenchman was
worried, lest he had offended the Sen
ator from Michigan. rs he strongly
pro-German? he asked one of the
other Senators. No" was the an
swer, che Just has several hundred
thousands Of dollars invested in Ger
man bonds"
Freely Spent.
Whether the German government
intended to deceive the investors or
not, is hard to say. But there is no
doubt that they have used the
money borrowed from this country
like the sailor who has been for six
months on the high seas and when
he lands again finds letter contain
ing a thousand dollars inherited from
poor Aunt Martha whom he had not
seen since he was a kid.
The money poured into Germany
by the creduloas American inUeStor
WdS spent not only on paying rep
drdttons to the allies. but also to
make elaborate swimming pools,
recreation parks and other such
lururies Which euen America does
not haze. With the balance, the
German government purchased
Danes and Young bonds at lotD
price, at the height OF the depres-
sion, to reduce Germdny's tndebt-
edneSS."
Franklin Roosevelt, jr, and the
party from the Houston who went
fishing right under the cliffs of the
deserted Clipperton Island were guilty
Of poaching and had they been caught
by the French sloop, protecting the
French fisheries, they would have been
liable to arrest or fine or both. Fish
ing in French territorial waters is pro-
hibited, unless the fishermen have
license from the ministry of agricul-
ture in Paris. The Clipperton Island
became French territory in 1881,
when by the arbitration Of the King
of Italy 1t was transferred from Mex
leo to France

Russia Ranks 2nd in Gold
 Production
NEW DISCOVERIES SHOW
 ~S S VAST RESERVES.

Russia attained second place in the production of gold last year, ae- cording to Alexander Favlovich Eerebrovski, chief of Soviet gold in dustries. Russia's auriferous sands and mines, he said, yielded about $100, 100000 worth of gold. Canada ranked. next with $63, 100000. taa United. States with S45,S00,000 was was fourth. Comfortably ahead of all stood the Transvaal, with $238, ,9O0, ,0OO. In the first half of the year (1934l South African. gold pro- duction declined 6 per cent.
 In a few yeans, Comrade Sere. brovsky hopes; Russia will overhaul the proud leader. "We. have the richest gold reserves in the world. The gold dust reserves here are in exhaustible. So many have been discovered recently that we literally dol no know where to start first-ln the Urals, North, Caucasus, KaA- kstan, or in some other rich field.
 Prospectors and. geologists have combed Russia from one end to the other to locate new deposits. After their intensive searches last year the estimated gold resources of Kayak stan, which borders European Russia, jumped tventy-fold. Among other far-flung gold Fields, Comrade Serebrosky anticipates rich hauls from the Transbaikal region east of Lake Baikal and from the Altai Mountains in Western Siberia. But Russia still gets 50 per cent of her gold from the basins of the Lena and Aldan Rivers! whose golden sands have yielded the precious con- modity for more than half. cen tury.
 Yakutsk, famous for it's frozen mammoths, extends from the Arctic Ocean to Far Eastern Republic in the south. It is. the largest and one of the. bleakest 'of ssoyiet Republics. Its remote gold camps, which include schools, hospitals, and club rooms, are accessible by motor or wagon only during the wintess six months freeze, when swampy roads harden. During the rest of the year gold workers can reach the outside world only by air. et
 To speed gold po4uetion Commun- ists have imported American engi- neers and spent money lavishly for machinery and equipment. Ponder ous dredges now :. scoop up sands which earlier prospectors banned. Soviet engineers claim sthe industry throughout the union. is more than 70 per cent mechanized.' As proof, they point to 148 factories, 85 cleo wilderness power stations, and hum dred of miles of powee lines.

BRITISH CHEMIST FORSEES USE OF HARMLESS GASES
 IN NEXT WAR.

Invention of a "stagger gas" for the next war leaving soldiers and civilians unharmed, but making them unable to stand up straight or even to know whether they were on their feet or on their hands, was forecast by Maj.H. s. Blackmore, 8 chemical warfare expert of the Brit ish Army, in a recent series of lec- lures to the London Red Cross Society on first-aid precautions against poison war gases.
 The gas or other war drug which Mai. Blackmore forsees would af- feet the balancing mechanism inside he human ear by which human being senses whether his head IS up- tight. inclined or upside down, ace ording to the Baltimore Sun. Dis ease of this part of the ear causes vertigo.
 Two of the war gases already used are not seriously poisonous, but are intended to affect the eyes or nose.. One of these is the "tear gas,' now used much by police to stop riots and is able to make the victims eyes water so badly that he cannot see and is incapaeitated. An other is the sneeze gas used in the last war and winch makes it's victims violently hundreds of times in quick succession.
 What Maj Blackmore forsees is some similar material able to para lyze temporarily the human balanc- ing mechanism in the ear, so. that persons ,- exposed to this material would be totally unable to stand up and could do nothing but stagger about or lie helplessIy on the ground nntil the effects of the gas wore o'f-
