This Changing World
Archduke Otto of Hapsburg Awaits O. K. of
France for His Ascent to Throne
of Austria.

garians and Bulgarians and the others
who have lost some of their territories
as a consequence Of the World War
will begin to agitate for plebiscites?
1t will be just too bad.
Whether Lavel has been able to
convince Frances associates in South
Eastern Europe is still unknown.
But the bets are that within the next
few months Otto will parade through
the streets of Vienna. escorted by
his household cavalry in new glitter
ing uniforms. and official communiques
will announce that the Austrian prob
lem has been finally and definitely
settled.
OF course, France will have to
loosen up her purse strings again

"a. the Austrian Nazi will flock
around the throne Of the prince
whose family has ruled the country
for over TOO years. That is at least
what Rome and Paris thinks.
One OF the main causes Of the
political depression in the world Is the
reckless inf1ation-not of currencies
but of political pacts.
Since 1919 there have been so many
treaties, pacts, agreements and
understandings that they have all
lost their value, just like paper money
which has no backing. The 'pacts
imitation" is just as dangerous as the
money inflation-if not more so
There are so many treaties today that
even the specialists of the League OF
Nations and foreign Offices have q
hard time to discover in that maze
the actual relationship between
countries.
But what is worrying experts on
international affairs most is that even
secret pacts, which used to be con-
Sidered sacrosanct and effective before
the World War, are quoted now only
a few points higher than the solemn
treaties" such as the Kellogg pact
the Locarno pact and so many others.

industrial cases by a multitude of dif-

The need for new courts to take up
the burden on present tribunals, which
have a tremendous and increasing
amount of work to do.
The idea for the proposed court
system is not new, but the impact OF

that N. r. AS biggest failure mas

fact that the swiftest court procedure
now is comparatively slow.
For example, one large company

An immediate check is necessary

Economics Stressed.
A special court and Judge with in
tensive economic training, officials
pointed out, would know how to meet
such situations without too much at
tention to technicalities and form.
The method for setting up the court
system has been given only casual
attention. 1t might take the form
of court of industrial appeals" with
a number of branch courts through
out the country. Cases might oe
brought before it, or any of the branch
courts, by the Government, by en-
ployes, and by members of industry.
It has been proposed that the court
establish its own procedure, to avoid
the sometimes archaic methods OF
regular courts.
The courts would not handle labor
disputes. Various proposals are pend

pass on phases of this problem.

preparation for the re-

Austrias chancellor. DR.. SchuSch-
nigg, arrived in Paris last Thursday
to urge Laval and Flandin to give
their blessings to Ottos return to the
Austrian throne. Schuschnigg' S urgings
would be useless if it were not for
Mussolini, who is whole-heartedly in
favor of the return of Austria to a
monarchical form of government. The
chances are the French government
with withdraw its opposition to the
re-enthronment of the Hapsburg
dynasty.
The day before the Austrian chan
cellor arrived in Paris. Laval sum-
moned to the Quai d'Orsay the Am
bassador Of Poland and the Min
listers of the Little Entente, who are
the principal opponents to the re-
turn of Otto.
Laval explained to these diplomats
that in view of Hitler's hint that
Germany wants a plebiScite for Aus
tria, there is only one policy to be
adopted to ward off this threat-to
give the Austrians a King. Plebis-
cites are no longer popular among
the allies. The Saar proved ter
rible flop. Hence, the only solul-0n
to prevent the Germanization of Aus
tria is to have Otto rule-nominaly-
that weak Danubian state.

The objection of the Little En-

Washington remembers Miss Helen

yesterday, as one of the most distin-
guished hostesses in all its social
history.
No Speaker of the House since
Uncle joe" old-timers agree, has en-
tertained so generally. and so lavishly
as he, with his gracious daughter as

1t was Speaker Cannon who as
serted the prestige Of the chamber
over which he presided with the re-
suit that a special dinner to the

House social program during the
Theodore Roosevelt administration.
No Precedence Quarrel.
There was no quarrel about it. no
precedence controversy, those who
were here at the time recalled. Every
body seemed to feel it was perfectly
proper for the Speaker to have din
ner. And White House social experts
recalled that Miss Cannon was ac-
corded rank with her father, without
a question being raised or comment
made.
Later, Vice President Curtis secured
protocol ruling from the State De-
partment to establish the rank of his
sister, Mrs. Dolly Gam.
THE Cannons lived in what was
then a most distinguished block on
Vermont avenue-but now it is OBJ
scure," recalled one old friend, Mrs.
James r. Mann. Robert Mccormick,
Ambassador to France, had occupied

and the Cannons entertained a great
deal and did it beautifully.
"They gave many dinners and re-

UNCLE WIGGILY AND
THE CHEESE DIGGERS
By
HOWARD E.
GARRIS

Uncle Oscar Longtail, the mouse
gentleman
When Uncle Wiggily got there,
Squeakie was out in the yard going
down to the back fence. The cousin
mouse, also, was worried lest there
wasn't enough dirt on top of her
cheese present. So she and Uncle
Wiggily started out through a gate
in the fence. AS they did so they
heard voices talking.
Dig deeper, Fuzzy, dig deeper!"
snarled the Wolf
DO some digging yourself, Woo
zie, if you want some of this treas
ure!' barked the Fox. I'm not
going to do it all
"Oh, they're digging up Uncle
Oscars cheese!' whispered Squeak
lie.
Don't worry" silently laughed
Uncle Wiggily. They think it's
buried treasure. When they find
out it's only cheese"
Just as he spoke the Fox and
Wolf had dug down to the Christ
mas cheese which Squeakie had
buried so it would ripen and get
old. Her uncle liked it better that
way. The Bad Chaps took one look
in the hole.
only cheese! howled the Wolf.
You know I hate cheeSew
You don't hate it any worse
than 1 dor yapped the Fox. Il
thought we'd find some treasure.
Fooled again!" So they had all their
work for nothing and away they
ran. Then Squeakie covered the
cheese again. And if the telephone
will step talking in its sleep and
let the radio have a chance, I'll tell
you next about Uncle Wiggilys
auto tires.

The president examined the scale

farmer while contrasting rural pur-
chasing power now with 1881 and

"The measures to which we turn

welt said.

"I turned to these organizations

into bankruptcy or turned them
virtually into serfs, forced them to
let their buildings, fence and ma
chinery deteriorate, made them rob

deprived their sons and daughters
of a decent opportunity on the
farm. To those days, l trust, the
organized power of the nation has

lieve in our Republican form of

separate unit, never were able and
never will be able to legislate or
to administer individual laws ade-
quately to balance the agricultural
life of a nation so greatly depend
ent on nationally grown crops of
many kinds"
Mr.. Roosevelt said that through
the application Of governmental
policies a relative purchasing pow
er of the farmer as against indus
drial prices was moved up from
less than so per cent of normal in
1888 to better than 80 per cent.

AAA Causes Fight
A suggestion by S. E. Robinson
that resolution be passed binding
the farm bureau to vigorous de-
fense of AAA policies awakened so
much discussion that the matter
was postponed until the January
meeting which will be devoted ex-
clusively to this topic.
A committee was appointed by
President Hoober to make recon-
mendations for projects which de-
serve farm bureau backing, Hoober
suggested highway improvement,
solution of the tax problem, a men,
bership drive, intensifying All club
work, and adequate disqualification
as possible items.
The highlight of the combined
luncheon meeting preceding the di-
rectorS session was talk by PreSi
dent Hoober StreSSing the fact that
farmers should be proud of their
occupation as statistical reports
show that the payroll of the United
States decreases or increases in di-
rect proportion to the total sales of
farm products. These statistics were
gathered and compiled by Mont
gomery Ward and Sears and Roe
buck.
Farm and agricultural problems
were discussed by j. A. Smiley of
the Orange County Farm Bureau
and by Leroy B. Smith, assistant
state leader of farm advisers.
Leslie Carman, former president
of the Los Angeles county All club
council, presented All club work,
its problems, and the assistance
these clubs need.
A report of the 18th annual con-
Vention of the California Farm
Bureau federation was read and dis
cussed by Earl V. Northrup.
