Chairman Pe- gues was getting his committee to- gether this afternoon and stated that in the next few days he would announce complete program cov- ering wide field of events.
 Special attention will be given this year to the children and many in- teresting sports events with prizes are being planned. Water sports also probably will have a place and special Alaska Juneau mine en- ployees feature is being mapped out.

He will be for mally inducted into office at next Monday nights meeting. Postmaster Albert Vile appeared before the Post last night and ex- plained the procedure for cashing the bonus bonds and stressed again the necessity of having two wit nesses when certification of the bonds are made at the postoffice when they are sent back to Seattle for payment.
 c. w. Dwan, Legionnaire from Minneapolis, was a visitor of the Post.

The one lingering impression of the big Republican show at Cleve- land has to do with the constant, insistent pressure of the West, seeking to turn eastern party lead CTS away from traditions they have cherished for years.
 In terms of the drama, the play could well be entitled The Wooing of the East" Its action reversed completely the picture which had become a more or less stndard over a period of a generation.
 At long succession of such gath erings, the big question had been how to propitiate the West. East ern organization men, in firm con- trol of the conventions but fearful of election repercussions in the plains states, had figured what con- sessions must be made to the Dolli- vers, the LaFollettes, the Norisses.
 This time, the Westerners, who marched on the convention under the banner of Ali M. Landon, had

P H IL A D E LPHIA, Pa., June 23. - Democratic Ma tiOnal Committee Chairman James A.

 Amid cheers of the throng of delegates, Farley charged the c. o. P. standard bearers are the product of an effort to appear conservative in the east and liberal in the west.

 Even before the party hosts aS- sembled at Cleveland, the Western leaders began to look forward to national leadership and take steps accordingly.
 They sent emissaries eastward. The burden of their representations was that m 1886 the West meant to take command, but had no in- tention of being bull-headed about it. They asked what it was neces- Sary to do, so that Western nom- inee might have the best possible chance to carry the East in Mo- vember.
 They found the Fasteners recep- tive. For months it had been agreed among the top m e n or the party that. a Western man must be the candidate. The way they put it was this:

Robinson, FOR Defender, Choice of Administration
 for Contention Chairman

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June B. United States Senator Joseph T. Robinson, seasoned party stalwart, whose political footsteps seldom stray from the path of Democratic regularity, is the choice for perma- nent Chairman of the Party's Ma tional Convention here.
 He has the blessing of the Roose- welt administration, whose spokes- man he is in the United States Sen ate. There the genial but quick tempered senior Senator from Ar kansas has been steadfast in his support of Administration measures. He is Majority Leader.
 Twice before the Party has called him to the platform to be Perma- nent Chairman, the first time in 1920 when the San Francisco con vention delegates cast A ballots be- fore James M. Cox of Ohio was nominated
 Roosevelt Nominated
 The name of Franklin D. Roose- velt came before that convention too He was named the party's Vice Presidential candidate.
 Again in 1928, when the Demo- crats met in Houston, Robinson played a dominant part as Chair man. Alfred E. Smith was the Presidential nominee and Robinson staunchly defended him in the face of southern criticism.
 Just as staunchly during winter he turned his sharp tongue against his one-time campaign mate when he was named to answer the caustic attack Smith made on the New Deal at the Liberty League dinner in Washington.
 Unique Career
 RobinSon's political career is un- ique in many ways. He was, with in IA days, a Representative in Con- gress, Governor of Arkansas and United States Seantor from that 1 State
 While still Representative, he ran for Governor and was elected He resigned the Congressional post January IA, 1913 to become Cover nor. The death of an Arkansas Senator meanwhile created a vacan- cy' and the State Legislature prompt. ly named the newly installed Coy. ernor to the Senate.

You and Your
Nations Affairs
War Debt Problem Complex
BY HARLEY L. LUTZ
Professor of Public Finance, Princeton Unirersit,

debtor countries are willing to pay.
They are unsecured obligations of
sovereign states and the use of any
kind of force to compel payment is
wholly out of the question. Congress
has exerted indirect pressure. by a
law forbidding loans to any govern
ment in default. The delinquent ma
tons have thus far been able to
finance themselves and each other.
Rumors that italy plans to reopen
the debt question have given rise to
the suspicion that she would like to
borrow here in order to finance the
conquest and exploitation of Ethiopia.
If such loan were permitted. 1t might
prove to be another economic snipe
hunt for the American investors.
Willingness to pay depends On two
things. One is the sense of national
obligation incurred and the other is
the readiness of the debtor peoples
to endure the additional taxation re-
CURED.
The sense of national obligation is
obviously dwindling. Germany has
|repudiated the Versailles Treaty and
will pay no further PREPARATIONS Many
persons in the allied countries inter-
pref their part in the war as defense
OF democracy, a position used to
justify our own share in il. they still
assume that we supplied materials for
a joint undertaking in which we sto c
to gain quite as much as they did.
Further. new generation is fast
appearing, to which the war Is a
matter of history rather than a vivid
personal experience. With each pass
ing year it will be more difficult to
devise argument or persuasion TO con-
vince such persons that they should
pay additional heavy taxes on account
of foreign loans made by the men who
were responsible for that disaster.
The first big stumbling block. there
fore. is the attitude of the people. Ii
it were simply a moral issue. with no
taxes involved. we might reasonably
hope for action. But we have to deal
with condition rather than 'heory.
The unwillingness of some of the
states to collect taxes in order to pay
long-defaulted foreign debts. and the
decision of the federal government to
ICPdoAdbC tue SOl0 C4dASC III ttS WV
obligations rather than levy the addi-
tional taxes required to pay the for
mer gold dollar equivalent should re-
veal to us the nature and strength OF
the resistance that may be expected
elsewhere to taxation for the payment
of the inter-allied debt to the United
States.
