LONDON, Jan. 80. (UP)-.
Great Britain took the lead at the
crippled naval conference yester-
day and was quickly Joined by
France, Italy and the United
States in an effort to salvage
something fro mthe negotiations,
hamstrung by withdrawal of ia
pan on January Is.
The conference, convened in
the hope of accomplishing naval
armament reduction or limitation,
had been in recess two weeks out
of respect for King George.
1t entered a new and possibly
final stage yesterday when Brit
ain presented detailed program
limiting the size of each type
warship and gun caliber. The four
powers were expected to devote
several weeks to negotiating a
treaty along the lines of the Brit
ish plan for qualitative reduction
including an agreement for an
nual notification by each power
of it's building program.
Such a treaty, however, would
mean little. 1t would be certain
to contain an escape clause" per-
hitting signatories to disregard
it's provisions if Japan or any
other major power went on a ma
val building spree.

BYRNS GETS LETTER
ON FINANCING

WASHINGTON, Jan. 80. (UP)
President Roosevelt last night
shifted to Congress the RESPONSE
bility for finding $2,249,178,375
to pay the soldier bonus which it
approved over his cryptic hand
written veto.
The compromise bonus bill en-
acted Monday did not provide me-
thods of raising the huge cash out
lay. Congressional leaders prompt
ly said this was a problem for the
treasury to worry about.
Last night, Mr.. Roosevelt wrotn
Speaker of the House Joseph w.
Byrns indicating he thought it was
a task for Congress to assume.
Copies of the letter were not
made public and tonight conercs-
sional leaders were confused.
Byrns will not receive TIE LET
ter until today and until then
withheld comment. The White
House statement did not indicate
whether Mr.. Roosevelt had epeci
fically indicated that he wanted
new taxes to obtain the bonus
money. In the absence of this in
formation it was impossible to
tell what the next move m ih"
situation would be.
Speaker Byrns has two courses
open: ..
He may refer the communica
ton to the appropriations con-
mittee to seek bonus grant.
He may refer it to the way
and means committee where tax
legislation originates. .
'I can't say anything until I see
the letter." Byrns told the United
Press. B..
Chairman Robert. Doughton,
D., N. c., of the house ways and
means committee, said his group
had no plans to consider addition
al taxation at this session. lie ma:

journment and have new tax
bill ready for the 18th Congress.

legislation but will consider it II

he said.
The White House statement
merely said the President had
submitted for the consideration
of Congress supplemental estl-
mates of appropriations that will
be needed. He also transmitted a
letter from the budget department

would require to pay the veter-

Likableness.

WHAT suggest here may come as
a shock to many persons. as, in
deed, it did to me when I first pom
dered the idea. The persons you like
are dullards and stupidities. The per-
sons you do not like are the intelligent
and the original. Terrible thought
1t may be that there is not an iota
of truth in the proposition, for it may
be that We have no way of really
measuring intelligence. 1t may be
that the stupidities have some insight
into their own limitations. So they
take no chances. They do or say MOTH
ing that will offend those whom they
know to be their superiors, intellect
ually and socially.
How would this be-the persons you
do not like are the Stupidities who en-
croach upon your intelligence? This
is the opposition proposition. I like
it better. But perhaps it's my own
stupidity.
These propositions are here set forth
for one purpose: I would invite my
readers to reflect upon a certain line
of thought. And that line of thought
is this: What are your own limita-
tions? If you can discover them, you
may, at least psychologically, become
little more tolerant with all the
shortcomings you believe you find in
others.
And, again what do we really know
about human beings? Here's a confess
sion: I sometimes think that I can
read the mind of an animal with a
great deal less trouble than I can read
the mind of an ordinary human being

A Quiet Neighborhood.

quiet neighborhood. Such mischief
makers as Chatterer the Red Squirrel
and Sammy Jay decided that that was
a good place to keep away from, and
they did keep away from it. Other
feathered folk kept away. The result
was that the only immediate neigh
bors the Redtails had were Blacky the
Grow and Mrs. Blacky, and they
wouldn't have had them but for the
fact that the Crows had nested first.
In way. now that she had become
used to the new neighbors, Mrs. Blacky
was glad they weer there. She was
glad because of that peacefulness. If
she had to leave her precious eggs for
a while, she had no fear that anything
would happen to them while she was
gone, and this was the feeling that
she could not have had had the Red
tails not been such near neighbors.
Both she and Blacky- were very quiet.
They took the greatest care not to do
anything to attract the attention of
the Redtails. They slipped in and out
of that thick hemlock tree like black
shadows.
This is all right now," said Blacky
to Mrs. Blacky when they weer out
hunting breakfast together one morn
ing, "but how will 1t be when our
youngsters come along and begin to
demand attention."
Don't talk about it," said Mrs.
Blacky. II Just don't like to think
about it. There will be time enough
to worry about that when the young
sters are big enough to attract atten-
ton"
I'D rather have the Redtails for
neighbors than to have Hooty the
OWL" said Blacky.
II should say sol" exclaimed Mrs.
Blacky. Il could never sleep in peace
with Hooty for neighbor. The Red
tails sleep at night, just as we do so
there is nothing to worry about from
them after dark. 1t would be very diff
ferent If Hooty the Owl and Mrs.
Hooty had that nest instead of the
Redtails. wouldn't know one minute
Of peace. No. sir. wouldn't. I just
wouldn't be able to sleep. AS it is, the
Redtails mind their own business and
we mind our own business, and we
seem to be getting along splendidly."
AS for Redtails, they took no notice
Of the Crows at all. AS long as the
latter made no disturbance the Red
tails were content to let them alone
In fact, Mrs. Redtail had sort of a
friendly feeling for Mrs. Blacky. This
was because they weer both sitting
on eggs and both dreaming of the
children they would have little later
from the same precious eggs. So it
was perfect neighborhood indeed.
