About four thousand persons, prac-
tically the entire population Of an
eastern town, recently waited at mid
night without the walls of a prison
while prisoner was put to death
within. Those too far away to be
present had the benefit of the papers,
wherein the black cap, the last pray
er, and other familiar but ever-har-
rowing details received careful atten-
ton. The Romans crowded the amphi-
theatres to see gladiators chop each
other to pieces with swords, and a
crucifiction was always we'll attended.
The human race has advnced in many
ways, but not yet is it past the at
traction that goes with horror.

NEUTRALITY
PLANS GIVEN
TO ROOSEVELT
Nye and Clark Present Program Is
Designed to Keep u. S. Out of
War; Hull Attends Farley

Washington, May 13.-Renewinp
the discussion of policy designed to
keep the United States neutral in the
event of foreign war, Senator'S Nye
(Rep., N. d. and Clark (Dem., MOI
conferre d with President Roosevelt
today and offered their arguments in
favor Of three neutrality resolutions
introduced jointly by the two Sena-
tors.
Also at the conference were Cordell
Hull, Secretary Of Safe, and Senator
Putnam (Dem., Nev.)a chairman of
the Senate Foreign Affairs Commit
tee, to which body the Nye-Clark res
olutions have been referred,
Would Regulate Passports
Senators Nye and Clark are men,
bers Of the Senate Munitions Com
mittee, the North Dakotan being
chairman of the group. Their neutral
ity resolutions were designed to
Regulate the issuance of pass
ports to American citizens in
time of war.
Prohibit the extension of credits
and the issuance of foreign
loans to belligerents when such
loans or credits are intended
for the purchase of articles de-
clared contraband of war.
Prohibit the export of arms and
ammunitions to belligrents, and
regulate trade in contraband of
war.
No Commitments Made
In conference with Mr.. Roosevelt
Senators Nye and Clark presented
their contention that these measures
rpresent wll-rounded neutrality pro-
gram. The two Senator's, together
with Senator Pittman, came away
from the White House with the feel
ing that their argument had made a
favorable impression, but they said
they had received no commitments.
"There was a general discussion"
Senator Pittman explained, "but no
Endorsements were asked for or ex-
pected."
The Nevada Senator also said he
would bring the, resolutions to the
attention Of the Foreign Relations
Committee at it's next executive ses-
sion.
Another Study Made
Another study of the neutrality
problem, being made under the direc-
ton of the State Department, has
been in progress for several months.
Last month Mr.. Hull reported to the
President on the preliminary results
of the study, but the complete survey
has not yet been made public. It is
understood that the Army and Navy
Departments have transmitted their
views on the subject to the State De-
partment.
Meanwhile, the Nye war-profits
bill, designed to put the future wars
of the United States on a pay-as-you-
go basis, has been referred to as a
subcommittee of the Senate Military
Affairs Committee. Members Of the
subcommittee are Senators Logan
(Dem., Ky.), Thomas Dem., Utah)
and Carey (Rep., Wyo.).

It has been learned that through
some alleged mistake in our foreign
trade, the United States is said to
have lost a credit abroad amounting
to billion dollars. With the foreign
war debts still unpaid, we still may
have small balance in our favor.

The bous bill passed the Senate and
the House by votes that leave little
doubt as to where the legislators
stand respecting the measure, but the
end is not yet. There is an obstruction
that casts a dark shadow across the
way, and the Sente seems inclined to
regard the shadow rather than to en-
counter the obstacle. The attitude of
the President is well known. It seems
probable that the Senate will recon-
slider it's action and attempt to work
out legislation which will tend toward
the end sought to be accomplished
and still merit White House approval.
There is no desire anywhere, it seems,
to forget the veterans of the last war,
but the raising OF the necessary mon

Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd is
back in the United States after end
ing a south polar expedition inflated
a year and half go. Antarctic dis
coveries really began during the pres
ent generation, there being period
from 1912 to 1900 during which the
southern end of the earth's axis was
left strictly alone. It remained for a
Norwegian, Roald Amundsen, to
reach latitude 80 degrees south, in
1911, feat which was duplicated by
Capt. Scott in 1912 and by Rear
Admiral Byrd in 1929. The difficult
ties attendant upon travel to the ex-
treme south are indicated were made
between 1887 and 1923, the record of
antarctic exploration does not open
until 1774, continued by the annals of
less than a dozen exploratory efforts
up to the present time. The gasoline
engine, radio, flying machines and
other inventions have made travel in
low or high ATTITUDES easier than they
were in the days when such explorers
as Gen. Greedy had to press forward
with little grub on dog seld; but
that circumstance does not dim the
glory of Byrd. He was the first to lay
before the public, elaborate informa-
ton about the ice-capped south.
Granting that he had the benefit of
modern conveniences, few will offer
to retrace his steps.

MANION IS SPEAKER
AT VOTERS LEAGUE

Indiana taxpayers money is be-
ing saved by the National Ener-
gency Council, according to Clarence
Manion, State NEG Director. Be-
fore organization of the council the
public could shop around and find
no proper place to make known q
particular need.
Now the NEG is making a nation
wide inventory of national resources
estimating expectancy of gasoline
supply, extent of forests, areas OF
disease susceptibility, and soil ero-
sion.
Indiana will have little tillable
soil left by 1880, unless protective
measures against soil erosion are
taken" Mr.. Manion said yesterday
in addressing the indianapolis
League of Women Voters in the
Rauh Memorial Library. He spoke
before a meeting arranged by the
department of government and eco
nomic welfare.
Now the i44ds of Martin County
families sending children to schools
as we'll as school properties, are be-
ing bought by the Rural Settlement
Administration. Schools HAVING
from two to 10 pupils each will be
closed taking an unnecessary load
off taxpayers, and the families will
be paid enough to enable them to
settle elsewhere, and Martin Coun-
ty land which has become exhausted
and unproductive will be reforested.
