969. After that they would have
to bear an increase in their own
total debt from $4,000, 100000 to
s62, $50, 900 600
The only possible way the cor
porstions could get the additional
money needed would be to in
crease the prices of their products
and services.
But, as pointed out yesterday,
the increased taxation levied by
the governments to obtain the adj
ditional money needed for gov
ernmental debts would decrease
the purchasing power of the peo-
pie by just that much. How
would the corporations be able to
increase their prices in a market
in which purchasing power was
being reduced?
However, disregard the fact
that taxation is already absorbing
more than one-f1fth Of the ma
tional income and that any in
crease will reduce the money
available for business. Suppose
the purchasing power of the
people stays at the present level.
The outlook would be ominous
enough.
The railroads owe a total gold
clause debt of S11,836,000,000. A
decision unfolding the gold clause
would increase that to sig, 1892 $780,
600. The annual interest would be
increased from S591, 100000 to
$3.50, $4,000. But the railroads
were unable to pay even the $751;
100000 during 1884.

The flow of champagne din1in-
ished to a scarcely visible trickle,
and caviar was cheWed as eau
tiously as diamond dust.
Those gloomy days are now
over. The lift in the depression
plus the devaluation of the dol
lar did it.
Diplomats are now coming out
of their shells. They even smile
occasionally. Here are some OF
those who attract the most at
tention in Washington's social
and political whirl.
CIR RONALD LINDSAY, His
OBritannic Majesty's Ambassador
to the United States, has g some
what dull exterior under which he
hides the abilities of a first class
diplomat.
He is dean of the Diplomatic
Corps and the tallest ambassador
Washington has ever seen. His
trousers come almost to his arm
pits; he plays a snappy game OF
tennis; and he is married to a
schoolgirl friend of Mrs. Roose-
welt.
Because he hates the limelight
which other diplomats love, Sir
Ronald is supposed to have more
Drawn than brain, which is not the
case. He is cordial, simple, some
times even frank. When embar-
raised by an indiscreet question,
he replies: well, really, don't
know anything about it. You
know. these days ambassadors
are nothing but the letter boxes OF
their respective governments.
EELIPE ESPIL, ambassador OF
i Argentina, sometimes is re-
ferred to as the friendllest
enemy" in the Diplomatic Corps.
The description is derived from
the fact that he has opposed the
United States on almost every
commercial ploicy it puts forth in
Latin America and yet remains
in the highest esteem of the State
Department
Espil came to the United States
as a young lawyer 20 years ago
and has virtually grown up here.
He knows the United States as
few foreigners. in fact, as few
Americans, know it.
He has an American wife to
whom he IS so devoted that he
will scarcely go out to lunch with
out her. And yet he continues to
be an ever alert fighter for the
rights of mis- country.
He walks four miles around the
Speedway every afternoon. has
his clothes tailored in London,
and sometimes is called the Mona
Lisa OF the Pampas.
DAPPER Augusta Rosso is the
- baby Of the ambassadorlal
family. having just passed the
44th milestone. Mussolini never
takes into consideration length OF
service and age. hence Rosso's ap-
pointment to one Of the prize
posts in the Italian service.
A bachelor, despite MuSSolin1's
orders for all men to get married,
Rosso does not entertain lavishly.
But his simple manner has gained
him more friends in Washington
than any other European rep
resentative. He loves a good game
of bridge and between bids can
draw more important political in
formation from his fellow players
than if he went to the State De-
partment twice a day.
The New Deal interests him
more than Americas foreign
policy, which he believes will re-
main as obscure in the present
as it was in the past.

TWO gold medals will be awarded by the Amer
Il Institute of the City Of New York when
that organization holds its annual meeting on Feb 7.
One will go to the Rev. Julius A. Nieuwland Of the
University Of Notre Dame for his discovery of a
process for making synthetic rubber. The other will
go to Dr. Carl D. Anderson Jt the California Insti
tute of Technology for his discovery Of the poStron
The medals are among the oldest awards in the
United Sttaes having been established shortly after
the organization of the institute 107 years ago.
The recipients of the medals this year are among
the most interesting figures the world Of science
Dr. Anderson not yet 30, made his discovery Of the
POSITION in DR.. R. A. Millikans laboratory in Pasa-
dena while working cosnlic rays.
DR.. Nieuwland, whose title at Notre Dame is pro-
lessor of organic chemistry, IS also bontanist. He
is priest Of the Roman Catholic Church. He was
born in Belgium in 1873, but grew up in the United
States having been graduated from Notre Dame in
1899 He obtained his Phi D. from the Catholic Uni
versty in 1904.

land at a convention of organic chemists, the E L

work 1t apparent that he mad solved problems
which mad baffled them. Accordingly they made
arrangements to take over The commercial develop
ment Of his work.
They found that the gas which DR.. Nieuwand
had not identified monoyinyl acetylene. This,
it will be seen, is very similar to the oil which he
had identified This gas was easily changed into

from isoprene, the parent substance OF natural
rubber.

He distinguished himself during his under
graduate days at California Institute Of Technology
and remained to do graduate research under the d
rection of Dr. Miikan obtaining his Phi D. in 1880.
It was in 1888 that DR.. Anderson discovered the
existence of the POSITION. He was then engaged in
experiments with a Wilson ray track apparatus in
which the tracks Of cosic rays were made luminous
