Between sobs she kept marmuring,

When Bonner applied for a license

the deputy did not realize he was a
Negro. Bonner is light-skinaed, and
could pass readily for a white man.

Bonner said he would fight an annul-

NATIONS FARM DEBT
LOWER THAN IN 1882
80 Per Cent of Loans Used to Paw
OFF Old Debts, Report Says.
By United Press


WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-The
Farm Credit Administration today
reported the nations total farm debt
lis substantially lower than it was
three years ago" Individual farm
mortgage debts may be higher, it
said, but Il is incorrect to claim
that farmers have gone deeper into
debt in the last three years.
The Administration Sai6 90 per
cent of the S1,900,0O0 loaned under
its provision was used to pay off old
debts and resulted in a saving which
offset new obligations. Federal land
banks were found to be the largest
holders of farm mortgages, replac-
ing insurance companies and COM
mercial banks which were formerly
the greatest institutional lenders.
Outstanding loans by the land
banks and land bank commissioner
amount to more than S2,533,00o. 900,
or about one-third of the total farm
mortgage debt. the Administration
said. In 1928 the land banks held
about II per cent of the total.

FOREIGN TRADE
POWER HELD TO
Be ABSOLUTE
President Can Withhold
Protection in Wartime,
Say Authorities.
BY ROBERT w. HORTON
Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON Nov. 13-The
Presidents authority to withhold
! protection from American foreign
trade and American citizens abroad
in time Of war is absolute, accord
/ ing 10 State Department authorities.
/ The question has been raised in
/ formally by the recent announce
ment of the Standard Oil Co. of New
jersey that it would continue to sell
its products in Italy despite the
Presidents warning against trading
| with belligerent nations
| The Neutrality Act does not pro-
vide for any such warning. In de-
claring that such trading would be
at the traders risk, the President
went beyond the resolution.
! Protection Merely Traditional
Protection Of our merchantmen
and cargoes and citizens is merely
tradition, authorities say, and
whether that protection is to be
granted is entirely within the Presi-
dents discretion.
Though he can not prevent Ameri-
can citizens from trading with bel
ligerent nations unless Congress SO
authorizes him, he can make it ex-
tremely difficult for such trade to
continue with any assurance of Sc
| curity.
Presuming that an American
merchant ship were torpedoed and
lost after he had warned, as he
has, of such a possibility, the owner
of the vessel would probably be I'M
able to collect damages from the
country responsible.
Ship Owners Could Not Collect
Ordinarily the State Department
would assist in negotiations looking
! to compensation for loss of ship and
cargo. But the President has
authority to withdraw State De-
partment intervention, and in so
doing he would make it virtually
! impossible for the ship owner to
collect.
OF course, in the case of merchant
ships, the government would prob
ably be the loser because of its
own enormous loans to the merchant
marine.
The protection of citizens abroad is
additionally considered on the basis
of the individual case. Most gov
ernments rely primarily on the laws
and police of the countries in which
their citizens travel to protect them.
In war time, generally speaking,
most governments are inclined to
place their citizens upon their own
responsibility if they go into war
zones.

A resume of state relief activities

u. S. SPENDING
HAMPERS TRADE,
SPEAKER SAYS
Federal Expenditures Bio
Problem. Brown Tells
ABA Convention.
BY United Press

By United Press
NEW ORLEANS. Nov. -
Strangulation of private enterprise
by government spending constitutes
the country's greatest present prob
lem, Lewis H. Brown, president OF
the Johns Manville Corp. New
York, today told the American
Bankers Association.
Mr.. Brown told the second gen.
eral session Of the SiXty-flrst annual
convention that in this government
competition there is no equality. for
whereas business must appeal to the
citizen for its share of his dollar.
and the citizen is at liberty to be-
stow it freely or to withhold it. in
the case of the government. taxes
must be paid first and are a COM
pulsory levy upon every pay envel-
ope or upon every purchase.
Cost of Government Is Problem
1T seems to me-" said MIR. Brown.
that the greatest problem this
country faces today is the problem
OF whether the total cost of govern
ment is going to continue TO in
crease until it absorbs all of our ma
tlonal income so that there is no
field whatever left for private enter
prise"
Brown said that in the banking
field, Federal agencies are lending
SIS for every So lent by private COM
mercial banks. The total cost of
aforementioned state and ma
tional-is now equal to approx
mately one-third of the national in
come, taxes alone being over 20 per
cent, he added
These taxes increase the cost of
selling prices of all products, Brown
said hence taxes tend to limit the
markets, decrease the output and
restrict employment of industry"
Cost Scars to 1872 Billions
While the population from 1915 to
1884 increased only 81 per cent, total
cost of government scared from
three and one-hslf billion dollars to
1872 billions. he said.
He cited statements of President
Roosevelt, made before and after his
election, as evidence of sincere in
tention on the part of the Admin
istration to reduce expenditures.
The intention must certainly
have been to carry out these prin-
ciples so clearly stated" said Brown.
And yet the results have been ex-
actly the opposite.
And the point l wish to make is
that in great majority of the
cases in the last 20 years, candi-
dates for offices, whether it be in
towns. or the counties or the states
or the nation, have accepted office
with similar intentions of serving
the people by reducing costs of gov
eminent. Yet the cost of government
has mounted until it threatens the
very existence of the future of our
| country"

runs on time, many American bust
ness men were saying that a die
tator perhaps wouldn't do this
country much harm. They weren't
saying it openly but in private con-
VerSatiOn.
Now, in very much troubled
world, there are two outstanding
Fascist countries-Italy and Ger
many. Both Of them have had the
benefit of dictators who have had
an absolutely free hand to do as
they pleased. One Of these coun-
tries was a defeated nation in the
war and lost its colonies. The other
was a victorious nation and greatly
extended its colonial possessions.
WET it is interesting to note that
l. in world ground down in eco
nomic disorder, these two Fascist
countries seem to have Jared worst
of all and are nearest to the COM
plete breakdown of their economy.
All about are nations under Vari-
Gus types of democratic capitalism
and autOcratic communism. Yet
Italy and Germany are the two
most conspicuous failures in the
world today as economic societies.
How badly off these two Coun-
tries are, no one can say. MusSo-
lini has said that statistics are an
I,a~ IF National fon1iN,y
Figures are doctored. But even
such facts as are permitted to es-
cape these two peoples, indicate
that both are near to economic
breakdown.
Italy's position has driven her to
war The war, won or lost, will
probably end her present regime.
She has been living on borrowed
funds for four years. Her credit is
now at its end.
- ERMANY similarly has been
" living on borrowed funds.
Loans of all sorts have been forced
upon banks, insurance companies,
etc Prices have risen. The people
are grumbling, despite the serious
repression 1t is worth a mans
life to speak of hard times in Ger
many and in Italy spectators who
sold, both short and long, thus
seeming to express lack of conf
dence in the nations credit, were
thrown into Jail.
Both countries enjoyed for a part
of the last II months an APP
parent revival of industry. In both
it was the old story of war indus
tries functioning with government
fundS-War inflation-a nation at

of war work, the most dangerous of

But in Germany, despite this,
unemployment resumes its march.
There are about 100000 more out
of work now than a year ago. A
strange statement is made about
the government spending only its
revenues. One wonders if the gov
eminent has actually taken to some
new form of the printing press
But here, at least, are two black
