Colleagues Pay Final Tribute.

heart and courage remained unshaken.
He was modest to fault and. as q
result, the public never heard of many
of the exploits of his splendid career
He flew virtually every type of military
and civil aircraft which has been de-
veloped since the World War with
the single exception of special racing
types. He was one of the very few
men privileged to fly all types of mill
tary airplanes, Army, Navy or Marine
Corps. His fellow flyers looked on him
as one of the greatest ever to pull a
helmet buckle under his chin.
Joins Mighty Heroes.
There are mighty heroes whose
memories men cherish and whose
deeds have been sung through the
ages. There Is Leonidas, who stood
firm at Thermopylae until his 300
Spartans' fell around him under a sea
Of Xerxes' Persians before he, too,
fell. There is Roland who held the
pass at Roncesvalles while the
Saracen hordeS smashed down his
heroes and who, overwhelmed, wound
ed to death, alone, hid beneath him
his horn and his sword, Durindana.
to save them from coward hands,
turned his face to the foe and died.
There are many, many tales of raw
courage which has carried men to
glory and death. In Christopher's time
there have been such men as his fel-
low Army pilot, Frank Luke, who,
wounded, shot down behind the
enemy lines, called upon to surrender,
stood beside his plane, pistol in hand,
and fought battalion until he fell.
With the battle clang in their ears.
the fever of conflict in their hearts,
died the valiant company of heroes of
legend, OF fable and of history.
Death Came Slowly.
There were no drums, no martial
music, no flags. no battle fervor for
Christopher. He had none of these to
bouy him up. There was for him but
the knowledge that he had fought his
old antagonist, death, for the life of
fellow man and had lost. There
was now nothing but the thought of
duty to sustain him as death came
slowly.
The private life of one man. says
Emerson, shall be more sweet and
serene in its influence to its friend.
than any kingdom in history" That
might have been an epitaph for Luke
Christopher.

ARANHA ARRA|GNS
TARDY REPUBLICS
Brazilian Envoy Asks Ex-
PLANTATION of Tardy Treaty
Action.
-. ~. ASsoc,ated Press.

~ the Associated PreSS.
BUENOS AIRES, December Cos
waldo Aranha, BraZils Ambassador to
Washington, today challenged Ameri-
can republics which have not ratified
all five existing American peace
treaties to explain their tardiness.
The soft-spoken Aranha made his
demand before the inter American
Peace Conferences Committee on
Peace Organization.
That group was debating a resolu-
tion by United States Secretary of
State Cordell Hull which urged all the
countries represented at the parley
to complete ratification of the accords,
some of which have been in existence
for many years.
"It is useless" Aranha declared, "for
inter-American conferences to make
and sign treaties unless all the Amer
4can states ratify them"
Treaties Not Ratified.
The five pacts are the Gondra treaty
to avoid or prevent conflicts between
the American states, signed at San
tiago, Chile, in 1923; the 1928 Kellogg
BRAND peace pact, the 1929 Concilia-
ton Convention, signed at Washing
ton; the american Arbitration
Convention of 1929, and the non-
aggression and anti-war treaty of 1888,
which was drawn up by Argentine
Foreign Minister Carlos Saavendra
LamaS.
(The United States has ratified all
these treaties)
Some committeeman proposed the
inclusion of other treaties in the reso-
luton for ratification by all American
republics and the committee adjourned
to study the question.
Bolivia proposed to the conference
an inter-American organization for
maintenance of peace, advocating i'm
position of sanctions against recognized
aggressor nations.
Uncertainty over the position of Ar
gentlna on proposed neutrality and
international security programs, how
ever, caused concern in some delega-
tions for what the conference might
accomplish.
Carlos Saavedra Lamas, Argentine
foreign minister and permanent chair
man of the parley, issued a statement
describing the fears as ridiculous"
He was reported undecided between
the United States plan for inter-
American neutrality in a war between
American republics and Brazil's plan,
as yet not submitted. for an inter-
American security pact. A third alter
native appeared to be for Argentina
to shape its policies independently.
Bolivia's proposal would bind ad-
herents to meet Immediately should
q state of war exist between two or
more American republics, identify the
aggressor without delay, and apply
severe sanctions against it.
Punitive measures, the proposal
recommended, would include suspen-
sion of diplomatic relations; cessation
tions: prohibition of any loans or
credits, and isolation from postal and
telegraphic communications.
BY the terms of the Bolivian project,
any nation would be adjudged an
aggressor which invaded the territory
of another, even if war were not de-
clared, or which attacked another by
land, sea or air.
Observers said the proposal also
would condemn nation as an aggres-
sor if it aided armed bands invading
anothers territory or if it refused to
submit a dispute which might lead to
war to pacific settlement.

By the Associated Press.

oS the ASSOCldttQ FTtbS.
MANILA, Philippine Islands, De-
cember 9.-Divergent stories of the
extent of floods which swept rich Ca
gayan Valley came today from United
States and Philippine Army officers
making the first survey of the stricken
area.
Thousands of people are missing" +"
said Capt. Victor Bilbao of the Phil
ippine Army.
Il think the reports Of great loss Of
life are exaggerated" said Lieut..
George Hansen, United States Army.
Isabella Province experienced the
biggest food in its history" Capt
Bilbao reported from Tuguegaro, cap
ital of adjacent Cagayan Province
Hundreds of houses along the Ca
gayan River here were carried away
Thousands Of people are missing"
Thousands Reported Lost.
His report was similar to first ad-
vices of the Philippine Army, report
ing thousands dead and missing.
These were doubted by Lieut.. Han
sen when he returned from an eight
hour survey light.
Only 27 bodies had been reported
recovered.
Lieut.. Hansen said flood waters
have subsidized throughout the valley
leaving indications the river spread 2
miles beyond its banks in places. He
saw no evidence the torrent had wiped
out entire barrios, suburban clusters of
huts, but the aerial survey clearly in
dicated many houses were carried
away
Il think the reports of great loss Of
life are exaggerated" he said. but
I'm not sure as I made only one
landing. Undoubtedly there we're con-
siderable casualties"
Proclamation Issued.
From a ship in the China Sea en-
route to Kongkong, Commonwealth
President Manuel Quezon declared a
state of calamity exists in Cagayan
Valley and typhoon-stricken prov
inces. He issued a proclamation de-
signed to prevent profiteering.
Sixty towns and villages in the rich
valley northeast of Manila were re-
ported inundated by the treacherous
Cagayan River, whose waters rushed
over its banks as the result of two
weeks of heavy rain. Thousands were
said to have been trapped as they
slept and swept toward the sea last
Friday
The Cagayan's rampage followed a
typhoon, centered south of Manila, in
Camarines Sur Province, where Red
Cross workers reported at least 10
persons killed, thousands made home
less and crops destroyed.
Recent Storm Toll.
Only six weeks ago a storm left q
known toll of 500 dead and q missing
list of about 1000.
From Aparri, at the mouth OF the
Cagayan, came reports the current
was so strong boats could not enter
the river. Six fishermen were believed
to have drowned when they attempted
to cross the racing stream. Twenty
bodies were found in the town of
Cauayan, about 100 miles inland.
Entire families were caught in the
swirling waters. Live stock was car
ried away. Crops were destroyed.
Communication systems were wrecked.
officials expressed doubt they would
ever learn the full death toll.

WHO SHALL RUN INDUSTRY?

Today we are confronted with the necessity of
finding the correct answer to simple question
The finding of CORRECT answer is of tremen-
dous importance to you and to everyone else,
Is it to your best interest to have industry
continue under the direction of men who have been
trained by long years of arduous work to handle
its delicate mechanism men who started in lowly
positions and have advanced step by step only by
satisfactorily discharging the duties placed upon
them?
Or do you think your interest will be best pro-
tected by turning the management of your prop
critics over to the politicians-men who not only
have had no training experience in industrial
affairs, but who have not had training even in po-
litical affairs? ,.
In our entire social system, the politician is the
only man who reaches position of responsibility
and power without necessarily having any training
to fit him to use it.

THE NEW DEAL AND BUSINESS

THE Roosevelt administration is not and never
has been against business To make any such
charge is ridiculous" said Jesse H. Jones, great
chief of the RFC.
81 believe, have always believed and always
viii believe in private enterprise as the backbone
of economic well-being in America" said President
Roosevelt in Chicago, few days ago.
SO strong for business is the New Deal that all
sorts and conditions of taxes have been imposed
and the federal government is itself in business.
One is careful not to cite the Tennessee Valley
Authority and related enterprises; they are not
business they are public utilities. Nor should one
recite what the NRA and the AAA, amperSand,
seem to have done to business.
Business in some of its sections is probably sur
prised to hear that Mr.. Roosevels is devoted to
private enterprise and that its spokesman have
made ridiculous" charges-Charleston News and
