West Virginia's newest U. S.
Senator, Rush Holt, elected before
he was old enough to take his seat,
had his coming out party on his
first visit to New York. He was the
guest of Richard Watts and his
mother and the celebrities who ex-
pected one-gallused, gar-mouthed
mountain hill-billy found him in
full evening dress at $50 p. m. He
explained the dress suit in this
way. He was to make a speech
and he's a jim dandy orator-be-
fore the Columbia faculty at 8,
and it would take him too long TO
change. During the festivities he
sided up TO the worldly West Vir-
ginian Ted woodward and in
quired: do you reckon you could
fix it up so I could get into one
OF these night clubs?"

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
By GEORG STRANDVOLD

Today-April 11-diplomatic re re-
sentatives of Great Britain, Italy and
France are gathering at the little
town of Stresa in northern Italy for
the purpose of discussing recent de-
velopments of the general European
situation.
Next Monday at Geneva, Switzer-
land, the League of Nations will meet
to hear France prefer charges against
Germany for having violated the mill
tary clauses of the Versailles peace
treaty.
Back of these two gatherings one
finds a long chain Of events, con-
spicuous among which was Germany's
rearmament proclamation Of March
IS. The powers which confer at
Stresa seem disposed to accept the
German armament increase as an ac-
complished fact which nothing can
change. Therefore, the object is to
make it as harmless as possible.
But, individually, France will APP
pear as Germany's accuser at Geneva,
before the League council which Is
dominated by the nations who were
Germany's enemies during the World
war: it is extremely unlikely that the
council, however much it would Hike
to. will be in position to do anything
about restraining the Hitler govern
ment
Conference Basis.
OF course, Germany will defend
herself against the French accusa-
tions by pointing to the undeniable
fact that Francois well as her CO
signers of the Versailles treaty
self has violated that pact by failing
to redeem the specific pledge to ini-
tiate disarmament. Germany has a
good Casa fact Of which the
League council is fully aware. For
that reason it is doubtful that any
thing decisive will be done or, for
that matter. can be done

criticised the bill because it exempts
food products from the sales tax.

empt," he said. at is deplorable that
our honorable governor takes the
stand he has about exempting foods"
On the other hand. it was indicated
that the sales tax will have stiff OPP
position from the consuming public
and from large numbers of merchants.
One witness at the hearing, hard
ware dealer. charged that the tax
would fall most heavily on the poor
man, would discriminate against local
merchants in favor of mail order
houses. and increase prices, while
giving no assurance of reduction of
pronerty levies.
Witnesses for consumers empha-
sized that the tax would work an es-
pecial hardship on farmers and lab
orers and other low income groups.

Oppose Tobacco Tax.

state tax on cigarettes under the bill
would amount to from to cents a

of such taxes would drive much to-
