South African Gold Miners Get $500, 900
Annual Gift for Sick Benefit Fund

JOHANNESBURG Union Of South
Africa.-The employees in the South
African gold mining industry. centered
here. have received gift that must
rank very high among any list that
for an indefinite period, toward their
sick benefit societies funds.
The industry is making greatly in
creased profits as result of the pres
ent premium on gold, and although a
great proportion of the new money has
been used In working ore of lower
grade than could formerly be worked
with gold at $21 or SO, or used in OPEN
ing up new areas where thousands Of
tons Of this lower grade ore is known
to exist the industry still has q lot of
money in hand-for Just 50 long as the
premium lasts. As q result the en-
ployes are being offered a share in this
form.
Mine workers have for many years
had their sick benefit societies. usually
one at each mine. a purely local body,
run by the miners themselves. A few
months ago there was a movement
started for the amalgamation of these
societies, and the chamber of mines
strongly recommends this movement.
The chamber does not seek to control
in any way this amalgamated society,
or even the greatly increased funds 1t
will have at its disposal, although In
the first instance the rules drawn up
will have to have the approval Of the

it has done nothing to regulate the
administrative affairs of this great area.
While there is a Mongolian and Thibe-
tan Affairs Commission in residence at
Nanking, it is claimed that this COM
mission is not representative of the
Mongolian people and that every time
the Chinese government consults 1t
further discord is created in Mongolia.
1t is this growing resentment, 1t Is
claimed that is promoting the auton-
omous movement.
Leading the movement is 30-year-
old Mongolian. Prince Teh, who is rated
as a clever politician with a large fol-
lowing. With him are other Mongolian
princes
Chinese opinion in North China is
that the Soviet occupation of Outer
Mongolia and the Japanese occupation
of Jehol, outside the Great Wall Of
China, and Japan's favorable treatment
of the Mongolian princes have given
the Inner Mongolian princes q desire
to share the treatment Of their col
leagues in Jehol and in the regions Of
Northwestern Heilungkiang.
Further cause is found in the fact
that these Mongolian princes, who
are large landowners, are tax exempt
under Manchukuo rule and their sons
are able to obtain high government
positions, all of which is not in &C
cordance with the Marking govern
ment program for the Mongols.
Mongolia is the land of the ia
nous conquerors Ghenghis and Ku-
blia Khan and of their famous ban
ners and tribes. The reawakening Of
the spirit of independence and Of po-
litical self-determination now evident
can only be met by China through
negotiations which are shortly to take
place. Once Independent there is no
doubt but that Japan will seize the
opportunity to extend her influence
into the heart Of the Asiatic mainland.

Germany knows she cannot afford to
wage war for many years. In an ef-
fort to avert the danger of armed con-
f1ict 1t has resorted to measures which
the Nazis would have denounced as high
treason if they had been taken by their
republican predecessors In power. 1t
was the Hitler government which issued
confidential orders to the Brown army
and the Steel Helmets forbidding their
members to appear in uniforms in the
demilitarized Rhineland zone, although
the HitleriteS have always denied that
these organizations were military or
that the provisions Of the treaty Of YER
sailles applied to them.
InlS Order was followed by the an
nouncement of friendly conversation
between the German chancellor and the
Ambassador of Poland in Berlin, which
brought to light the agreement of the
two governments to approach questions
affecting the two countries through di-
rect negotiations. and also to ''renounce
all recourse to force in their relations. :"
Such an announcement by a non-Nazi

N RECENT days new problem has
been taking form in Europe which
threatens to be the most disturbing
i of all international controversies.
This problem arises from the ap-
preaching plebiscite in the Saar Basin
Originally this region was erected into
free state under the control of the
League Of Nations for two reasons: In
the first place most of the territory
had belonged to France before the Revo-
luton and much of 1t had remained
French after the first abdication of Ma
poleon, only to be lost after Waterloo
mines of the Saar for IS years was
provided as compensation for the de-
struction of the French coal mines
during the World War.
Because the Saar had once been
French there was in 1919 a conviction
in France that the population might
one day vote to become French citizens
again. The calculation, however, SEEM
ed completely mistaken in the earlier
postwar years. For, while the descend
ants Of the Sarrois Of the French era
had possibly preserved some sentimental
memories, they had become but a small
minority as result of the inrush of
immigrants from Germany following
the industrialization of the area.
Single Economic Unit.
As consequence the French pretty
soon recognized their mistake, accepted
the fact that the Sarrois would vote to
60 back to Germany and actually
abandoned any idea of making fight
in the plebiscite. To be sure. the pros
pect was unpleasant, for not only was
the coal of the Saar vital detail in
French industrial economy, but the
Saar region was also the all-important
market of the newly recovered depart
ments of Alsace and Lorraine.
In fact, ever since the Germans took
Alsace-Lorraine in 1871 this territory
and the Saar have been progressively
welded into . single interdependent eco
nomic unit. To break up that union

devastated areas of the postwar era
1t will mean approximate ruin for the
Saar district itself, because it cannot
compete with the Ruhr in Germany.
It will mean enormous hardship in
AlSace and Lorraine, for their wine and
foodstuffs will have to seek other mar
kets. and none are Immediately avail
able.
Before the rise of Hitler 1t might
have been possible to find some basis
of special economic adjustment like that
which today prevails between the two
parts of Upper Silesia, now Polish and
German respectively. But the recent
German Revolution has for the mo-
ment made such adjustments practical
ly impossible.
The triumph of Hitler has done some
thing even more serious. It has sud-
denly raised French hopes of perpetu-
ating the existing situation. In word
the French believe that 1t is now possi-
bic that the plebiscite, which seemed
sure to be won by the Germans, may
now result in victory for the present
order. For with the persecution within
the Reich of the Jews, Liberals and
Socialists, all these elements in the

Of the Nazi policy. And Nad quarrels
with the Roman Catholic and Prot
estant churches have had q similar
effect.
Hitler Opposes Plebiscite.
As result there has been a sudden
and pronounced revival in the minds of
the French OF those hopes which orr
ginally explained the creation of the
Saar district by the Peace Conference.
To be sure the French do not imagine
that the Sarrois will ever vote to join
France directly. They do believe that
there Is at least chance that the
people of this region may decide to stay
as they are. politically independent, but
economically associated with France.
Obviously the same idea has found
lodgment In the German mind because

weighed 194k, Ramage 1891.
A crowd of 1893 paid $29,986

Ramage was ahead on points un-

but this master of ceremonies,

take on two. The funny part Is,
he couldn't whip either one of the

Primo that he is some shucks.
