BONUS MESSAGE
 SETS PRECEDENT FOR PRESIDENT
Chief Executive Expected to Express Self on Cur
 rency in Rejecting Bill WILL TAKE BONUS WAR
 TO FLOOR, CONGRESS
R, osevelt's Personal App pearance Plan Blow to
 Backers of Payment

WASHINGTON, May l8.-- Some Administration leaders expressed belief that President Roosevelt will set forth his views on currency in- flation when a shattered precedent will be established by the personal reading of his veto of the bonus bill to Congress next week.
 Just what language the President will choose to deal with the new money aspect of the bonus issue Is a question of much interest in the National Capital.
 The Presidents statement that he hoped with all his heart that the veto will be sustained" seems to have created gloom among the Patman bill packers. Some acknowl- edged privately they have insuffi- cient votes to override the veto.

CLAIMS NOT IGNORED

SAN FRANCISCO, May 18.-H..A R. Carleton, SERA official, denied reports here today that Alaska un- employed had been ignored when the l20 transients had been sent from California to prepare the way for the Matanuska colonists. He said Alaska relief officials had claimed the supply of Alaskan labor was in- adequate for the job and that the migratory workers now in Alaska were being absorbed in the mines and other industries. He said the types of men needed would not be available until mid May.
 The Government had no other recourse than to use single transient men, thus insuring the corps labor in the minimum six months neces- sary to get the project under way Carleton said.

ing in my ears. I learned something
then about the British people. One
thing was their belief in the League
Of Nations. On this there was no
division at all-on this they were all,
every man among them, Conservative,
Liberal and Labor, of one single mind.
They would support no government,
no candidate who was not sound on
the League, and the Socialists, know
ing this, had accused the government
with deadly effect of being lukewarm
in support Of the League.
How is it." I ask myself, 'that
the government did not learn what
we had learned-we who night after
night, day after day, stood up on
public platforms and staked our repu-
tations on the good faith of Stanley
Baldwi-4 and Samuel Hoare?"
I don't know. I can't explain how
it was that they misread the signs of
the elections or so misjudged the
people.
Mr.. Baldwin is more damaged by
this affair than his foreign secretary.
Just how badly one cannot say. The

German Crowds Fear
DAYS After Christmas

BERLIN.-Christmas is being looked
forward to this year with mixed feel
ings by the population of Germany.
the Reich there is much which con-
tributes to the traditional atmosphere
of the season. The trees of the Tier
garten are arrayed in white, for the
capital has just experienced an ap-
propriate fall of snow. In those
shops at least which are operated by
"Aryans" there are the usual displays
centering in brilliantly lighted Christ
mas trees.
The warning of the Nazi authori-
ties that such displays should be dis
penSed with in the shops where the
proprietors are Jews has not prevent
ed the latter from providing ingenious
decorations in the spirit of the season,
even though they fail to include all
the usual accoutrements. The crowds
in the streets are not noticeably less
numerous or less in festive mood
than in previous years. Yet under
the surface there is uneasineSs.
The fact is that in Germany the
holiday will not be an occasion for
universal rejoicing, for too many per-
sons in the country are in mental dis
treSs, wondering what the morrow Of
Christmas will bring. The expression
commonly heard in Berlin during
these pre-festival days is, Nothing
will happen until after Christmas" !"
Reference is made to possible domes-
tic developments in the Reich, and
the implication, OF course, is that
much may happen after Christmas.
UneaSinesS is especially marked
among those sections of the popula-
ton which still celebrate Christmas
with some regard to its original sig
niflcance as a religious festival, since
the Nazi leaders are contemplating a
new drive against political activi-
ties of the Catholic church in the
Reich and likewise against the Con.
fessional movement within the Ger
man Evangelical Church.

Confidence in Baldwin.
But it is Mr.. Baldwin who is re-
sponsible. That is what Englishmen
are saying. 1t was Stanley Baldwin
in whom the country placed its con-
fidence. 1t was this honest. sturdy,
stubborn, comfortable, four square
Englishman whom they chose to
stand up for the rights of the small
nations against the clustering italians
and the tricky Frenchmen. They be-
lieved in Mr.. Baldwin as they don't
believe very often in public men, and
they believed in their national gov
eminent. They believed it was truly
national, that 1t represented all classes
in the country. That it stood pri-
marily for those simple principles on
which men of all parties agreed. They
thought in their simple hearts that

demand in agriculture also should
have absorbed many unemployed.
British unemployment insurance
statistics show that 16.5 per cent Of
the workers Of Great Britain and
Northern ireland were unemployed
year ago; today the percentage has
dropped to Is. But in England there
is evidence that a huge group Of
"chronically unemployed" is develop

job in England today than there were
in 1929 Yet seven years ago there
were 994,091 unemployed as against
around 1000, 900 at last reports, In
1892 the unemployed stood at 2,846,-

Theoretically there should be less
idle today than in 1929. Actually
there are 1,330,3e2 more than there

men are at their benches.

~ ENEVA.-Although there Is
every indication that the
economic crisis Is passing,
~ so far as production, COM
merce and employment are concerned,
the number of unemployed in the
major industrial countries stubbornly
refuses to diminish-in ratio to the
increase in jobs.
Official reports Of tWoscore govern
ments to the International Labor Office
show that in several countries there
are actually more workers employed
than there were in 1929, when the de-
preston began. There are also many
times more unemployed than there
were that year in the same countries.
In nine countries there is an in
creasing number of unemployed and
the crisis in that respect is deepening.
France reports about 20 per cent more
idle workers than year ago. Switzer-
land, Holland, Poland, Spain, Bulgaria,
Hungary, Latvia and Yugoslavia also
report growing armies of unemployed
as compared with the totals on the
same date in 1884. The number of
unemployed in Latvia more than
doubled during the last IL months,
while in Bulgaria it increased 80 per
cent. New Zealand and Esthonia also
reported slight gains in unemploy-
ment.
Sixteen countries which report i'm
proved conditions are Austria, Bel
GUM, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, Great
Britain, Austria, Canada, Norway,
land the Irish Free State, Danzig,
Italy and Germany.
Chile and Finland have cut their
unemployed by more than 200 per
cent. Germany, whose figures are not
nearly so reliable as they were in pre-
Nazi times, claims to have put 671,-
897 men to work during the past year.
Her unemployed workers, receiving aid
from the state, now total l,754,117, as
against 2,426,o14 IL months ago. The
Nazis claim there were more than
5000 900 unemployed when Hitler took
over the government. 1t is authorita-
lively stated that more than Is per
cent of German workers are employed
exclusive on armaments and military
projects. Hundreds Of thousands are
in labor or concentration camps and
more than 25o,Oo0 young men have
been conscripted for the army.
Italy presents an interesting picture.
For several years her unemployment
figure stood well above one million. A
year ago it had dropped To se6.l14.

Americans Try to Abolish Malaria
That Slows Lies Tempo i'm Albania

TIRANA, Albania, September 28.-
At least six types of civilizations have,
since earliest times, swept over the
mountains and plain Of this remark
able section Of the world called AL
bania.
Came the Romans, the Venetians,
the Byzantines, the Crusaders, the
Sertians, the Hungarians, the Turks
and then the Greeks, the Italians, the
Austrians, Montenegrans, the Ger
mans and the Bulgarians; and now
comes the new nation called Albania.
arising out of these, but owing prac-
tically nothing to them.
The Romans, the Greeks, the Turks,
the Venetians--what did they~lea
behind them? How have they con-
tributed to the culture that is native
to Albania? Nothing. Absolutely moth
ing. The residue Of Rome can be
found in a few chiseled stones ex-
cavated here and there and now
housed in q squalid building called the
national museum. Some idea Of this
building can be gauged from the fact
it once housed the American legation,
but the legation couldn't stick it. It
was too old, too damp, too bug-laden
and germ-infested-scorpions, just as
there are in the peasant shacks in the
country.
Left Malaria and Poverty.
But what these civilizations did
leave were malaria. poverty and the
consequent inertia. The Austrians left
a few roads: the French built three
steel bridges, only one of which seems
to have been paid for, and you wonder
even why that was.
Poor as he is, the Albanian is an
admirable person. Honest, sensible,
polite and friendly. at least to for
eigners, even though he may shoot up
his neirhbors In n age-long feud.

For entertainment he sleeps. Moth
ing more than this. His food is scant.
For breakfast large piece of coarse
white bread and very small portion
of Sleeps or goats milk cheese. For
midday meal again bread and, per-
haps, tomato instead of cheese. For
night the inevitable bread and cheese.
That is all. Few of them seem to
know that a vegetable is, although
the American school, an agricultural
establishment of KavaIa, is beginning
to make its influence felt in the farms
and poverty stricken hamlets.
Ham and Eggs Out.
In the capital you will find eggs
and mutton and watermelons. Eggs
cost 6 cents dozen, but ham has to
be imported, and costs exactly $3.50
a pound. Ham and eggs for an Amer
lean breakfast? That would be sub
ject for another of the famous mot
on your historical tintype" series Of
cartoons.
Though these ancient civilizations
left nothing behind them, perhaps
that task will be performed by few,
very few, Americans attached TO the
Rockefeller Institute. This institute is
-greening the landscape, build
ing dams and diverting streams, all
that malaria may be stamped out.
Once rid of that and Albania will be-
come habitable, the people more spry,
the nation more modern.

In Japan, as in Italy, where there
is an increase in the birth rate over
the death rate by between 100000
and 100000 annually, the problem
of unemployment is serious. Japan
has to find jobs for about 250.000
new workers yearly. Although her
industrial production is many times
greater than it was in 1929 and her
employed workers exceed the pre-
depression average, nevertheless her
unemployed army mounts. Several
other countries report the same phe-
nomena.
Another factor that will have to be
taken into account in Europe's ham
ding of her employment problem the
next few years is that the "lean
years" have come to an end. During
the war there were millions less
babies born than normally. The war
left Germany with 100000 less boys
than she would otherwise have re-
corded in her birth statistics between
1914-1918. Britain had 1,000,OO
babies less and France 865.000. These
deficits provided so-called lean
years" between 1932-1936 when war
babies were reaching 1S years OF
age and entering the labor markets.
From 1919 on there was an abnor-
mally high birth rate in countries
which had been at war. These chill
dren will mature during the next few
years. What to do with them VIII be
the biggest economic and social prob
lem the world viii Gave to solve.
