The signs of impending con-
flict in Europe and Asia mas
caused public opinion in this coun-
try to demand some legislation
designed to keep the United States
out of any struggle that may arise.
By statute, this country will at
tempt to cut itself aloof from ma
tons at war, and through pre-
venting commercial or financial
relations with belligerents or
travel by American ships or ma
tionals in danger zones, seek to
Obviate incidents which might in
flame public opinion and lead to
warfare. Apparently, the great
majority of members of Congress
favor such an effort, although.
naturally, opinion differs as to
the method of accomplishing the
result.

Father Agostino Gemelli of Milan,
a medical expert, was summoned to
Vatican City and gave out state
ment indicating that rigid meas
ures were being taken to stave off
possible uremic poisoning.
The pope's illness was discovered
when he was unable to arise for a
ceremonial concluding week of
spiritual exercises. He was barely
able to stir the left leg and physl-
clans found that the heavineSs OF
limb had spread also to the right
leg.
Cardinal Pacelli, papal secretary
of state, was more optimistic than
many others. After a visit to the
sick room he said:
THE pope is improved. In about
a week the strong constitution of
the holy father will win out over
the illness. He is nearly eighty
years of age and has never been
confined to bed by illness. 1t is only
natural that he should just for
once feel indisposed."

Treasury Financing Plans
Told by Morgenthau

CECRETARY OF THE TREAS.
~ URY HENRY MORGENTHAU
a n n u n d the mid-December
financing operations of the treasury,
the main features being further
borrowing and refunding that will
put the national debt above "a bill
lion dollars, lowered interest rates
on government bonds and elimina-
ton Of preferential treatment for
the small investor. The secretary
said that the December Is financing,
which includes the borrowing of 700
millions to cover continuation of
deficits incurred, would be the last
until March, when heavy income
tax collections will pour into the
treasury. Refunding raises the over
all amount of the financing to ST.
486, ,631 300.
In announcing that the treasury
would not permit the small inves-
tor to have his subscription up to
$4,000 met in full as in the past,
but would be forced to accept pro-
rata share just as is the big bond
buyer, Morgenthau declared that
the public had abused the privi-
lege. The plan Ito give the little
fellow a break" was initiated by
Secretary Ogden Mills during the
Hoover regime.

Having learned all about the Sinp-

British public took hold of it with

was steadfast against the mar

EMPLOYEES Of the Midland

to accept a settlement of their
strike which included wage ad-
justments and abolition of the piece
work system. The strike had been
seriously felt by the automobile in

leaders called '90 per cent vic

Russia's Constitution
Given Final Approval

COViET RUSSIA'S new constitu.
~ ton received the final approval
of the all-union congress of soviets,
and the event was celebrated by a
tremendous parade of the army and
the civil population of Moscow. One
revision of the original draft, made
by the congress, authorizes the gov
ernment to declare war ''in case of
necessity" instead of ''in case of
an armed attack against the U. S.
S. R." This change was interpreted
as bolstering the mutual aid treaty
with France and also as a strong
reply to the anti-communist agree
ment between Germany and Japan.

Wheat Farmers Approve

T EADING wheat producers held n

gave their approval to Secretary

and the lever normal granary." 1t
was proposed that the federal gov

to start the program, acquire and
maintain warehouses and run the
"all hazard insurance program

A permanent wheat farmers
committee of fifteen was established
to advance a program for parti-

else pressure for legislation. The
committee was instructed to report

Mrs. Simpson, throughout the
last few weeks, has invariably
wished to avoid any action or pro-
posal which might hurt or damage
his majesty of the throne.
To-day her attitude is unchanged
and she is willing, if such action
will solve the problem, to with
draw forthwith from a situation that
has become both unhappy and un-
f. tenable."
This offer to abandon her ro-
nance was transmitted to London
and all the world awaited the re-
Sponse of the king, in his secluSion
at Fort Belvedere. Unhappiness
is the fate of both Edward and
"Wally'', whatever the decision
may be. If the king relinquishes
the woman and retains the throne,
Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin
and the cabinet, together with the
aristocratic caste, will have scored
a victory, but the contest between
the new and the old will certainly
be renewed in other form.
At the time when Mrs. Simpson
gave out her statement, it appeared
that the king had scored point.
Mr.. Baldwin, having failed sig
nally to induce the monarch to
abandon his determination to wed
Wally, gave in to the extent of side
tracking the abdication issue and
giving King Edward ample time
to come to a final determination.
He told the house of commons this
and related the whole story of the
controversy which, he said, was
precipitated by the king himself
when he informed the prime min
lister of his intention to marry
Mrs. Simpson whenever she should
be free" Mr.. Baldwin said the king
will no doubt communicate his
decision in good time ito the gov
ernment in this country and the
dominions. He added: 1T will then
be for those governments to de-
eide what advice, if any, they would
feel it their duty to tender him.
Replying to a warning from Win
ston Churchill that the government
must not try to "extort' abdica-
tion from the king, Mr.. Baldwin
said: "It has always been, and re-
mains, the earnest desire of the
government to afford his majesty
the fullest opportunity of weighing
the decision which involves so di-
rectly his own future happiness and
the welfare of all his subjects"
But, he added, both the govern
ment and the king were aware that
considerable prolongation of the
present state of suspense and un-
certainty would involve the risk Of
gravest injury to national and i'm
perial interests"
In what the prime minister said
it was made evident the king never

kNX TONDER if Harris would
wv care? Shall l do it, then
ask him afterward?" Ra-
chel Stanton, the morning of Christ
mas eve, looked admiringly at the
brilliant tree in the pleasant living
room, then hurried to brush snow
from Harris, who, stamping in
from the back porch, painted:
I've cleaned the driveWays to
barns and road but will have to do
it again today. What were you
saying?" he was interrupted by
Rachel.
The radio announces that the
snow plow from Warnton has stuck
at the corner and will Lave to be
dynamited out. No one can get
through highways farther than the
crossroads corner" Rachel hur-
ried to the telephones jingling.
1T was Martha calling. She and
Gene and the children started here
but are blocked in at a home of
kind strangers. I wish we could
get food to the Harrison family in
the Bottoms. They have no tele-
phone, no near neighbors, and
would freeze if they tried to get
here through high drifts. Such
winter! 1t looks as though our
Christmas will be I'VE two," she
sighed at the color-lighted tree.
We'll, I see I'll have to shovel
out the driveways again." Harris
announced, pulling on jacket and
gloves.
Later when he went inside to
warm his fingers he heard Martha
humming and was thankful that
she was cheerful over the disap-
pointment of Christmas /e without
her relatives. Odors of savory food
and the attra ctive table with
Christmas colors, were inviting as
he stamped in after evening chores
were finished.
Tonight will be the worst so far
this winter. The wind S rising and
snow blowing. A terrible night.

Steaming food was soon on plates
and faithful dogs were tapping milk

How did you find the direction

looked puzzled.

What light?" Harris stam-
mered.
Harris, dear, will you please

food on it for birds, wild ducks

Merry laughter rang into the
night as nuts were cracked and

Mr.. Harrison helped keep snow
from driveways and a path to the

food to a stack of fodder which

Hand-LoOm Weaving

Hand loom weaving is an art
which dates back to the beginning of
civilization. Its greatest impetus in
the United States took place during
the Revolution when our supply of
fabrics from the mother coun-
try was shut off. From then on,
notes a writer in Successful Farm
ing, until factory-made cloth became
so cheap, it was developed exten-
sively. By the middle of the last
century, only a few hand looms
were still in operation, and these
only in isolated mountain regions
