COUPLE DOUBTFUL
CIemenCy as Reward for
Spy Revelation Is
Not Certain.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, January 19.-Mr. and Mrs.
Robert G. Switz, Americans, who are
expected to go on trial soon on charges
of participation in one OF the largest
postwar espionage rings, wondered in
separate cells today whether it pays to
tell all.
The East Orange, N. j., man and
his wife learned through counsel that
the court may not free them after all
in return for the revelations which led
to the roundup of the alleged con-
spirators after their own arrest 13
months ago.
Informed of CIemency.
The magistrate to whom they talked
informed them of the clemency pro-
vision of the espionage law for in
formers. They since learned clemency
is discretionary with the court, and in
at least one recent case an informer
was given the maximum sentence OF
five years imprisonment.
The Switzs only resentment, officials
said, is toward two Russians, Macko-
VicZ and ReStcheSky, who are charged
with having been chiefs of the band.
They are missing, having fled from
Paris in 1882 Switz was represented
as feeling the two deliberately tricked
him into the ring, knowing police SuS-
pected them, and he would have to
take the rap"

FOR many years Henri's little res

how to appreciate atmosphere as well

the MaiSon Franchise at Radio City.
His memoirs are those of philosO-

began his career at the age of 10, as
a page in the Hotel Cap Martin, on the
Riviera and in half a year had made
a fortune in gold coins. Since then he

THE GOOD OLD FASHIONED WAY

The Charlotte Observer quotes the Evening
Baltimore News as follows:
Federal relief is not and has not been and VIII
not be practical solution to the problem OF unen1-
ployment 1t cannot be. As surely as free money
flows around for the asking, quite as surely there
will be whole sections of the people, entirely able
to care for themselves who will desert employment
as a plague and live their lives at the expense OF
the public
The Observer then goes on to say that, the way
to get rid of unemployment is very old fashioned,
and then comments:
THAT way is for private enterprise prohtaoly 70

be sold at cheaper prices, which, in turn, by m
creasing consumption, will demand the employment
of more producers.
Private industry will never take up the unem-
plovment slack however while bearing increasing
penalties in the form of almost contiscatory taxa
ton. on account of government spending.
Private enterprise not omnpotent enough to
absorb the present load of the nations employaDcs
and. at the same time, absorb the present load Vt
the nations taxes"
The Charlotte publication might also have added
that if every one would quit looking for way to
live, and drive high powered automobiles without
work, and then if everybody would get down to
work and start living within their means, another
lone step would be taken toward getting rid of u!i-

MORE POWER TO 1T

The Gastonia Gazette, militant crusader against
rotten court conditions, has launched determined
campaign to clean up court dockets in Gastonla
and to remedy conditions whereby bondsmen aye
permitted to ignore the law and repeaters treac-
ed as leniently as first offenders
Conditions as described by The Gazette are a
disgrace to any county and public reaction should
be such as to make the citizens bestir themselves.
Somebody has failed miserably in prosecuting
the dockets. Cases have been continued for months.
Bondsmen have ignored instructions to appear IN
court with their bonds. And repeaters before the
bar have escaped with what amounts to tmid SLABS
on the wrist.
Such conditions should be exposed and The Ga
zette is performing splendid public service in its
present campaign. Disrespect for the law is always
increased when court officials themselves act in any
indifferent manner; when they play favorites and
when they permit any group or class to ignore

The cabinet is scheduled to hear

declaration the cabinet is expect

Britain, France and the United
States that Italy would consider
extension of sanctions to include
oil, coal, etc, an unfriendly If not
a hostile act.
Some quarters believed the dec
laration might announce ltaly's
withdrawal from the league.
The cabinet also is expected to
adopt a number of measures II

appropriated for relief of flood
