Senator Norris Favored

Attacking the Republican farm
plank, he said:
"Tho proposed plan Of the
Republican leaders is a straight
subsidy of unlimited farm pro-
duction. In a year or two of
normal weather, it would pile
surplus ON top of surplus, driv-
ing prices down and down. 1t

He asserted the cost would run
to n and a half or ever possibly
two billion dollars a year
This vast sum would be
spent not TO save agriculture
but to wreck it," he declared.
"Help this great American tt

mander of a Ha lem regiment in
the World Wa and R. r. Church,
of Memphis, nationally prominent
politicians, have received wide
praise from Negro leade s in all
Parts of America
Almost without exception, they
have lauded the courage Of the pre-
sidential aspi ant who broke trad
ition by speaking cut on a subject
previously sidestepped by major
party nominees. The two leaders
who belittled his stern stand aga
inst the mob evil are James w
70 d, Communist candidate fer
vice president, and Dean Kelly MI
Ter of Howard university.
Bishop J. A. Gregg of the AME
church, reported in some places to
be an "enemy" Of the Kansas gov
ernor, was one of the first to COM
pliment him for his position
Gov Landon's pledge to help
stop lynehing if elected is the most
he~artening announcement ever
made by any presidential candid
ate" Bishop Gregg declared "The
larger interests of u race trans
cend individual consideration and |
am ready to sacrifice personal feel

es commentator. Gov. Landon's
stand shows courage and should
commend unstinted support"
Stated p. B. Young, editor of the
Norfolk Journal and Guide: "Gov.
Landon's statement on lynching
should commend him to all law
abiding American citizens. In TAX
ing such a stand while inviting the
support of the American electorate
as a candidate for the presidency he
removes any doubt as to his SINGER

the consequence of an increase in crime
and accidents. quite recently the Com
missioners have been enabled by the
reduction in rates for electricity to re-
store some of these extinguished lamps,
but still the streets are not sufficiently

lack of proper illumination has been
demonstrated to subcommittee of the
House District Committee which Is con-
sidering traffic conditions in the Capital,
and the hope is that as result of this
showing of the peril of inadequate
illumination the appropriations for the
next fiscal year will be made upon the
basis of full-time service on all the
streets. The Commissioners cannot
incur a deficiency In appropriations.
They must conserve their resources. Not
even the recent lowering of rates will
close the gap between the present public
lighting service and the all-time, all

cloud the rigidly objective judgment of
the child.
Yet the fact remains that, on the whole,
the same boys appeal to both age groups
as leaders. Those who inspire the most
confidence also are the most popular.
Dr. Rauth plans more intensive study
of the qualities of these boy leaders in
an effort to locate those intangible quail
ties which give men eminence among
their fellows. He wants to determine
whether the same lads continue their
leadership throughout their school
careers. and whether the most popular
teachers have the same personality
qualities as the most popular boys.

Cigarette tobacco smells like green hay

can smokers, according to a report to
from group of Duke University chem

On the other hand. they point out,
smokers Of Great Britain value the raw
taste and odor of unaged tobacco. The
aging process, they say, varies with the
type of tobacco, the initial moisture con-
tent and temperature, and the tempera-
ture at which it is stored. Some to-
baccoS become quite aromatic within
year. Others require as much as 18
months to lose the green-hay odor and
still others require two or two and half
years.

amounts of the fruity, spicy character,
At the end of 18 months the horehound

"Forget IT,

"Forget It."
The river froze up an the snow drifted
deep.
The clouds gathered heavy an gray;
The hours all went lame an would pain

Through shadows by night an by day.
Then a bright bit of sunshine comes

An the old world looks most good as
new
AS it polishes up what is rusty or wrong
"Fergit it," it says; an you do.
You're jes' wastin' time with a crouch

You may nurse them with tenderest

But all of sudden they'll just disappear
And no one will know they were there.
For bit of bird, sitting high in tree,

Debts and Debts.

1t is considerably more than two years
now since American recognition of Soviet
Russia was negotiated at Washington on
the understanding, among other things,
that steps would be taken for settlement
of the Indebtedness due to the United
States for advances to both the old car
list government and its short-lived sue
cessor, the Kerensky regime. No prac-
has ever been made. In consequence
Washington has turned a consistently
deaf ear to Moscow overtures looking
to establishment of large Soviet credits
in this country.
The whole international debt situation
which, as far as the United States is
concerned and with the single, honorable
exception of Finland, presents a pic
ture of universal reputation, crops up
suddenly in connection with the Franco
Russian treaty of mutual assistance
That pact negotiated last year by former
Premier Laval, is now under considera-
ton in the Chamber of Deputies. Rati-
fication is opposed by group headed by
former Prime Minister Lasteyrie on the
ground that the Soviet has not recog-
nized, or has at least not settled, i'm
perial RusSia's debt to France. The OBJ
legation amounts to 200 900 100000 francs
1t was incurred mainly in those years
long before the World War; when the
French, through alliance with the sup
posedly powerful Muscovite Empire,
fondly hoped they were placing them
selves in position not only to repel Ger
man invasion, but, in the event of a con-
f1ict. to crush the Reich by means of
simultaneous attack on its western and
eastern borders. French money was
poured lavishly into czarist Golfers for
construction of strategic railways to the
German frontier and for expansion of
the Russian Army.
AT this late day Partisan statesmen
f1nd 1t useful, no doubt for local DO
ntlcal reasons to a considerable degree,
to drag up the specter of the almost
forgotten billions handed over to
Russia that failed France in the hour
OF critical emergency. Whatever motives
combine to inspire discussion of the
ancient issue at this time-German re-
sentiment of "encirclement" by a new
Franco Russian alliance and reprisal
threats of remilitarizing the Rhineland
are partially the cause of French oppo-
sition to the Soviet pact-it is refresh
ing to find French statesmen debt-con-
scious and critical of delinquent debtors.
One OF these days it may occur to official
Paris that sauce for the goose is sauce
for the gander; that a French debt
owed to the United States is every whit
as sacred an obligation as a czarist
debt due to France. 1t is as unlikely that
Moscow gold will begin flowing to Paris
as an aftermath of current discussion
as it is that French bullion will take
flight to the United States on account
OF the three or four billion dollars
France owes us. But it is all to the
good that the international debt issue
now and then should be galvanized
with little life, if only to show that
1t has not vanished irretrievably into
the limbo of the forgotten and ignored.
