MEN ORGANIZE
 A TOWNSEND PLAN CLUB

Continued from Page One) His plan is known to millions to- day as the Townsend plan. Upton Sinclair has rejected it. Men like Governor Merriam and George Creel have at least half-heartedly en- braced the idea.
 What it Proposes
 What is it?
 Briefly, it provides that the fed eral government create a revolving fund sufficiently large to permit every citizen - man or woman - over so to retire on a pension of S200 a month. The pension should be paid, however, only on condition that the recipient engage in no further labor, business or profes- sion for gain; that he has a record free from criminal taint and that he actually spend his $200 within 30 days after receiving it, the sum to be spent within the United States.
 If congress should listen to pr. Townsend and his supporters, it would create a revolving fund by levying a general sales tax of some 10 percent-high on luxuries, low on necessities-to be used only for the payment of old age pensions.
 Its Advantages
 Among the advantages claimed for the plan by its sponsors are these constant circulation of mon- ey, the creation of some 5,000,000 jobs for the unemployed through the retirement of persons over 60 now gainfully employed, the bene- fit to business from the constant circulation of money, the discour- agement of crime through provis- ion that no one with a criminal record is entitled to the pension.
 One of the sponsors has said: Some might say that such a pen sion plan would reward equally the thrifty and the improvident. What of 1t? Is it not a fact that the hard conditions of life as we have lived them have made it impossible for millions, despite their best endea- vors, to provide for old age needs? Knowing what a force is exerted by chance and the recurrent depres- sion periods - felt forcefully sever al times during an average life time-and knowing what a wretch ed failure has been made of our vaunted rugged individualism' so far as national welfare Is con- cerned, who can honestly judge their fellow men?"
 What Opponents Say
 Opponents of the plan say it is 500 Utopian for argument. Upton Sinclair, himself accused of Utopi- an plans, said that "it would only take money away from able-bodied young people and give it to a group of old persons. It would impose an exorbitant sales tax which the masses would find impossible to

GENEVA, May B. The United States is beating the International Labor Organization to the latter's treaty designated goal, but off ciais of the bureau aren't griev- ing.
 The organization, which. like it's sister, the League of Nations, was created by the treaty of Versailles, was brought into being to establish humane conditions for labor" It's present leaders consider that the Rooseveltian labor policies are giv- ing it new lease of life-a sort of transfusion of healthful labor blood.
 Discuss 40-Hour Week
 They are looking forward to a June conference which will dis cuss the 40-hour week. The United States is expected to send an un- official delegation, and the Geneva leaders feel certain that delegates from the rest of the world will lis- ten attentively to expositions of American policies.

bership. In the earlier days Ameri- can labor feared that the body m fig ht advocate measures that would be inimical to American standards.
 Now the situation is reversed. European employers apprehend that new deal" policies on child labor and collective bargaining might create delicate problems for them.
 There is real hope here that the United States soon will see it's way clear to join the organization. It is felt that it's ideals ought to appeal to the Washington government.
 In furtherance of it's aim to get the whole civilized world into the organization the bureaus officials recently set up a special extra European" section. The object is to place the bureaus machinery more effectively at the disposal of both North and South America.
 One method employed toward this end is inviting labor leaders and students to write or visit Ge- neva in quest of information.
 Tell your troubles to Geneva is the slogan in this field.

WASHINGTON, May 3.-Uncle Sam has been passing out an av- erade of $14,000 every sixty seconds, day and night, during the past ten months.
 The Governments spending dur ing the first ten months of the present fiscal year averaged more than nineteen million, one hundred and fifty-two thousand dollars daily.
 Against this expenditure, the Government collected daily on the average, of little more than eight million one hundred and eighty four thousand dollars.
 This means that almost every eleven million dollars of every days expenditure is borrowed, in other words, for every dollar col lected the government spent $2.34 of which $1 went to emergency re- covery expenditures.
