Budget and Bonus.

The country sometimes despairS of
congressional consistency. Among men,
bers of Congress today there is an in
creasing determination to cut appropria-
tions and to bring the Government bud
get more nearly into balance. And yet
threatens to pass bill for the immedi-
ate cash payment of the soldiers. bonus,
little item of 50 200 900, 900. The budget
or the bonus is the choice presented. 1t
is perfectly clear that if the Government
goes ahead and pays more than two
billions of dollars in cash to the veterans
at this time all chance of balanced
budget, slim enough at best in the light
of the New Deal, goes glimmering.
President Roosevelt, it is indicated by
gentlemen who have recently returned
from Warm Springs, is still opposed to
the cash payment of the bonus at this
time. He vetoed the Patman bill at the
last session of Congress. Some of the
veterans see less consistency on the part
of the President than on the part OF
Congress. For the Chief Executive, they
say, is perfectly willing to spend millions
and billions of dollars for "resettlement,"
for the W. P. A. and for innumerable eX-
periments while Withholding his approval
of the immediate payment of the vet
Grams, a payment that ultimately must
be made by the Government. They
might be reminded, however, that two
wrongs rarely make right.
What the country needs-and what it
should GETS a lessening of Government
expenditures until the tremendous bor-
rowings to meet these expenditures can
be halted These borrowings will lead
in the end only to excessive taxation, to
reputation or to initiation. The agree
ment, the promise of the Government,
was to pay the soldiers bonus in 1945.
The effort now made to collect the bonus
at time when the country is in f1nan-
cial straits is unfortunate. That the vet
erans have been encouraged to press the
demand through the reckless spending
of the administration makes it no less
disheartening.
1t should be clear to all that the pay
ment of the bonus and the balancing of
the budget cannot mix any more than
oil and water. You cannot have your
cake and eat it too. If the President
stands by his guns and vetoes bonus
bill calling for immediate cash payment
the country will applaud him. The Con-
gress could win the same applause if it
withheld its approval of the proposal.
The urge to vote for the bonus bill, on
the eve Of a congressional election, may
be too much to resist. It may be re-
called that the late President Coolidge
on the eve of presidential election
and when he was candidate to succeed
himself vetoed the soldiers bonus bill
which ultimately became law. 1t was
passed by Congress over his veto. 1t was
said at the time by the Republican men,
bers Of Congress that they had saved"
Mr.. Coolidge in spite of himself. If the
proposed bonus bill should be passed over
the veto of President Roosevelt, Demo-
cratic members of the present Congress
probably will claim that they have acted
in the best interests of President Roose-
velts reelection.

China Clipper Clocks In.

While there has been no anxiety on
the score of its safety, the arrival Of
the China Clipper at Manila, in COM
pletion Of its flight with mail from San
Francisco, is to be hailed with gratifi-
cation. The fourth and final leg of the
great hop across the Pacific has been
accomplished, practically according to

The total distance covered was $3.50

An apparent anomaly occurs In the
report of the landing of the Clipper in

The Three Craces.

The Three Craces.
"coffee9"-A pot in manicured finger
tips
That put the bright cranberries into
eclipse;
Her voice was so soft and her smile was
so sweet
She transformed the cafe where he had
to eat.
A man unwed his grace was said
To the service maid with neat blond
head.
'Turkey?"-A carving knife in hand
as warm
AS her wide mother-eyes and her ample
form;
Warm as the mouths of the clamorous
home brood
Supplied by his hand with the holiday
food.
A man of care, DER hard-earned fare,
He said his grace to the mother there.
"sherry?"-A decanter Of rare amber
wine
In frail jeweled fingers rejecting the
shine
OF his tapers and fruits. Her exquisite
smile
Ever tightening his mood with delicate
guile.
A man with goal of heavy toll,
His grace was said to an orchid soul.

What! No Nobel Prize?

A higher plane We hoped to gain
And great rewards we would prepar
For some one able to explain
A way to ease mans weight of care.
The big idea we await
And offer gold to make men wise.
This year, in sorrow we must state,
There isn't any Nobel Prizel
To each emotion we appeal,
Both love and honor we include
AS motives for our peaceful zeal
And even avarice include;
We fill a purse to speed the game.
Although we bravely advertise
Wealth as superior to fame,
There isn't any Nobel Prize.

Ita1y's Oil.

Oil, that proVerblal emolhent Tor trou-
bled waters, seems doomed to enact
reverse role in the crisis now convulsing
Europe. The project, sponsored by the
"sanctionist" powers, primarily Great
Britain, to deprive Italy of oil by in
Guiding that vital commodity in new
category of war materials which may not
be exported to her, has suddenly clothed
Mussolinis controversy with Geneva with
augmented gravity.
Rome reports, on obviously official in
spiration, that If an oil embargo is de-
creed Italy will look upon it as a cause
for war against her oppressors and op-
pose it with armed force. Holding Great
Britain to be the engineer in chief of
the proposal, II Duce presumably would
forthwith move against the British fleet
in the Mediterranean, which has been
a thorn in his side for many weeks. The
d;ctator's reprisal plan is even reported
complete to the point of how the attack
will be launched. There is melodra-
matte tale of a Fascist death squad"
air force of 125 pilots who have volun-
teered to annihilate the British armada.
Each would carry one huge bomb, pick
out an enemy warship, dive upon the
vessel and destroy it-and himself. The
inaneuver, it is explained, would be the
first sudden, desperate blow by Italy in
a war to smash the ring of fifty-two be-
sieging nations. There are circumStan-
tial statements that London and Paris
have been officially warned of II Duces
purpose to resort to extremes against
efforts to starVe him of oil. italian pub
lie opinion is depicted as prepared to
react no less resentfully against the
United States if this country participates
In the embargo.
Making due allowance for modicum
of bluff in the FaScists attitude, it is
tlnmistakable that the prospect which
confrontS them fills the Roman war lords
with terror. Italy's oil reserves are no
toriously limited. She lives entirely on
foreign replenishments in uninterrupted
1IOW. MUSSOuIllS navy, his LTOOpSInQS,
the freighters carrying food and NUM-
tions for the army in Africa, the trucks
which maintain long and difficult lines
of communication, the motorized artil-
lery, the tanks and the airplanes-all of
these indispensable cogs in Italy's war
machine depend upon oil as for their
life blood. With cessation of regular sup
plies from Anglo-PerSian sources, from
Soviet Russia, from Rumania and from
the United States, Italy's war-making
power would sooner or later be paralyZed
and her ordinary domestic existence
perilously dislocated.
The League Sanctions Committee is to
meet next week to determine definitely
whether the export of oil to Italy, to-
gether with two or three other key ma
terials, is to be embargoed. The con-
tingency that such action may be immi-
nent accounts for Italian alarm and bel
licose mien. Pending the critical de-
cision the European situation becomes
fraught with more real tensity than any
which sanctions have SO far provoked.
One thing is certain-if the Geneva pow
ers back down before Mussolini's
threats League prestige will suffer blow
from which it could not easily recover.

Merciful Modern Genius.
Nero gave party,
Unmindful of expense:
His wish to pose as "arty"
Was splendid and intense.
Without electric lighting,
Which might have met his need,
When his poetic writing
More clearly he would read
Some captives he'd assemble
And soak them through with oil,
And laugh to see them tremble
Because they had to broil.
When charges I'm discerning
I'm very glad to see
My check book they are burning
Instead of burning me.

All free from envious looting.

And holler, where's the shooting?"
Yet peace is what we're asking for;
Yet, much as we regret it,
Well, maybe, start another war
Inquiring how to get it.
