Treasury Financing Plans
Told bv Morpenthau

CECRETARY OF THE TREAS.
~ URY HENRY MORGENTHAU
announced the mid-December f.
nancing 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 a pro-
rata share just as is the big bond
buyer, Morgenthau declared that
the public had ABUSED" the privi-
lege. The plan ''to give the little
fellow a break" was initiated by
Secretary Ogden Mills during the
Hoover regime.

Uncle MiA
Says: ~
In Good Company

In Good Company
Company is one of the greatest
pleasures of the nature of man,
for the beams of JOY are made
hotter by reflection when related
to another.
Theories might work, If human
nature didn't interfere.
A young intellectual tries to get
along without emotions and pres
emily makes the horrible discovery
that he has lost them.
Luck usually favors the man
who doesn't count on it.
The Present Moment
Try to be happy in this present
moment, and put not off beng so
to time to come.
Wages of sin is death-and the
wages of fOolishness is paid out of
the same purse.
Many men when asked for their
candid opinion. make up some
thing on the spur of the moment.
Coarseness isn't much better
than outright immodesty.
Three Things
Reading makes a full man
a profound man-dis-
course a clear man.
A man may frequently think and
say he is misunderstood, but the
man who thinks he is and doesn't
care sufficiently to say anything
about it, is the most admirable.
The prodigal son came of a good
family. That is why he came back.
The man who makes no mistakes
does not usually make anything.
In order to make a friend, you
have got to like man well enough
never to want to give him a dig.
Many men never make any.

complete repose, which his physi-
clans said was vitality necessary.
Father Agostino Gemelli of Milan,
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
ceremonial concluding a week of
spiritual exercises. He was barely
able to stir the left leg and physi-
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:
1.-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."

Decorating for Christmas
Some Handsome Window and Room
Ornaments That Are inexpensive

WHILE windows may have
W been decorated for Christmas
before now, the arrangements in
doors seldom are made until the
day before the holiday. The fresh
ness of the beauty is wanted with
out any diminution. If the novelty
has worn off, some of the zest of
Christmas is lost. This is so true
that many homemakers refuse to
have windows trimmed more than
day or so prior to Christmas.
If you happen to be among this
latter group, let me suggest that
you take sprays of a tree that is
misshapen and so very cheap and
make splashing bow of red crepe
paper for each and hang one in
every front window downstairs. Or
have one in each downstairs win
dow that is discernible from the
street.
Ornamenting the Spray.
You can dot the spray with holly
berries, or whatever you have in
addition to the green. Or you can
dip popped corn in RED stain or
dye, and touch the kernels with
glue and secure them to the
sprays. These notes of red, with
their irregular shapes, are intrigu-
ing, sometimes being mistaken for
berries and sometimes for flow
eretS.
Bank the Mantelpiece.
Bank the mantelpiece over the
fireplace where the stockings are
hung, using sprays of the green
intermingled with holly, mistletoe,
pine cones, bayberries, or silvered
or other metal painted motifs such
as acorns, fine twigs with many
fronds, etc. When everything is
fixed to your fancy Irvine a string
of wee colored Christmas tree
electric lights through the green's.
These will look ornamental by day
and have a glamor when lighted
during the evening.
Christmas Greens Fill Baskets.
Baskets filed with green's and
dotted with the novelty units lend
notes of appropriate Christmas
decoration. Any small baskets
will do for this purpose. There gen.
orally are some about house, but
if not, metal paint or green stain
some of the little market baskets
such as strawberries, brussels
sprouts or tomatoes come in. Make
a rope or lengths of paper braid
for the handles, painted or stained
to match the basket. If length
of picture wire has been wound
with the strands of paper rope and
braid, these handles will keep

the king nor the cabinet has yield
ed, and to date Edward has shown
no intention of abdicating.
Having learned all about the Simp-
son affair when the British press
dropped its self-imposed silence, the
British public took hold of it with
excitement and enthusiasm. Crowds
paraded in London, carrying BAN
ners with such Inscriptions as "God
Save the King From Baldwin"
They booed cabinet members and
the archbishop of Canterbury, who
was steadfast against the mar
riage, and surged about Bucking-
ham palace in great throngs.

Mrs. Simpson, throughout the
last few weeks, has invariably
wished to avoid any action or pro-
posal which might hurt or damage
his majesty or 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 I'M
tenable."
This offer to abandon her ro-
nance was transmitted to London
and all the world awaited the re-
Spouse 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 a 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
Twill no doubt" communicate his
decision in good time "to the gov
eminent in this country and the
dominions." He added: "It 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-
ton from the king, Mr.. Baldwin
said: at 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 I'M
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

PCdSC pdSIS.
4. Adoption of a common neutral
ity policy.
S. Fair and equal commercial pol
icies.
6. Practical international coopera-
ton.
Z. Strengthening of international
law.
8. Faithful observance of the
sanctity of treaties.
''There is no need for war;" Hull
said in his address. "There is a
practical alternative policy at hand,
complete and adequate. 1t is no ex-
elusive policy aimed at the safety or
supremacy of few, leaving others
to struggle with distressful situa-
lions. 1t demands no sacrifices
comparable to the advantages
which will result to each nation and
to each individual.
Peace can be partially safe
guarded through international
agreements. Such agreements,
however, must reflect the utmost
good faith; this alone can be the
guarantee of their significance and
usefulness"
Next day Mr.. Hull offered a neu-
trality pact for all American repub-
lies. His plan would create per-
manent inter-American consultative
committee to coordinate existing
peace instruments and bring agree
ment on a common neutrality poll
cy, based on the United States
neutrality theory.

Hamilton Will Resign as
Republican Chairman

John HAMILTON, chairman OF
y the Republican national COM
mittee, called a meeting of that
body to be held in Chicago Decem-
Der II, and announced that at that
time he would submit his resigna-
ton.
Mr.. Hamilton desires that the
committee shall be able to address
itself to the plans for party come
back with a clean slate and with
new officers in command, If a
change of personnel shall be
deemed more conducive to success.
The management of the late CAM
paign has been criticized by some
leaders in the East, and also by a
few of the most radical of the
western leaders; but it may well be
that the criticism represents only
minority views of the committee
and that Mr.. Hamilton's resigna-
ton will not be accepted.

Blun's Spain Policy Wins
Support of Deputies

D RENTER BLUM of France, for
L the first time calling for a vote
of confidence, won the chamber of
deputies to the support of his policy
of neutrality concerning the civil
war in Spain, and this victory saved
his regime from disaster. The vote
was $50 to Ill. The communists
refused to vote because they could
not approve the blockade of re-
publican Spain," but affirmed their
support of the Popular Front gov
eminent. Following the vote the
cabinet ministers all decided to re-
tain their posts.
Foreign Minister Delbos told the

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
eminent to declare war sin case of
necessity" instead of Sin 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.
