His first is Fontaine. He left it
behind him on a farm.
One day he was riding on a
wagon loaded down with honey.
The old farmer driving paused
at the foot of a hill that seemed
powerfully steep for his horses
to climb with the load they had
and asked Maverick what his
name was. He told him the
whole thing. The farmer said
he would either have to pick
Fontaine or Maury. He picked
Maury and the horses got up
the hill all right, but only be-
cause he had lightened the
load by tossing away his first
name.
He tells all about it in his
autobiography, just out.

He works on the Hill. He was
called upon to act as a sort OF a

Then they went to the Library
of Congress. When they looked
down into the reading room, the
Englishman was aStoniShed that
so many people were SO earnestly
using the research advantages
of the library. He was indeed
impressed. So was the guide.
He enlarged upon the habit of
Americans to study, to do re-
search work and the earnest
manner in which they concen'
trated on a job.
He was doing all right until
he happened to see that at least
two-thirds of the workers had a
familiar looking paper before
them. The answer to it all
struck him suddenly. He felt q
bit silly but teok his guest out

Uncle Sucker?'

ID REMIER PAUL VAN ICELAND, of Belgium arrived

Princeton and perhaps few million billion dollars from

Nobody begrudges the gentleman his degree But the
millions billions another matter.
Though M Van iceland say polite nothings in several
languages there weounded grounds for thinking that
he is merely the latest of several European emssaries who
seek to make dead letter out of the Johnson Act.
The johnson Act orbds American loans debtdefaut-
ing countries Already it has saved this nation money and
probably averted another war.
Europe can't finance fight without American assistance,
and long the johnson Act observed it will not get
that assistance.
But NJ. Van Iceland it appears has neat plan to nufy
the Act.
It is merely to invite the United States to make heavy
deposits the Bank for International Settlements at Base
which would then lend it to whatever nations it chose
beautiful scheme. the full beauty of it being that the
bank is by the welchers.
1t does credit to European ingenuity.
But it puts somewhat lower estimate on American intel
hgence, think than previous record as the
world sucker-nation justifies.
There is international Settlement and onv one
that interests the United States at present
That IS the settlement of twelve billion dollars of
debt.

on and at least fifteen members

The members of Congress

the finals time off and have
gotten them places to work in
the library.

Many philosophers and strong

engineers, and probably only the
Egyptians were ahead of them
in building large aqueductS and
irrigation systems. They are
supposed to have been the orig
inatorS of metal currency, and
they contrived the crude begin
nings of banking. Even when
they were conquered by the
Semites, their language was I'M
changed.
These antecedents touch the
Ice Age, and there are some
authorities who believe that the
Basques are the only living link
and the only cultural descent
from this era. Little has the
world brought from that age
little indeed but war.
The shells that blasted Bilbao
from land and sky are merely
mechanical Celebrations of the
first stone, tied on a stick to
make a war club. The human
heart and the kind of civiliza-
ton that issues falteringly
therefrom, and then sinks, seem
the same through the Ice Age,
the Neolithic Age, and the
Bronze and Steel Ages, and the
new burgeoning age of demo
MAC energies, devised to con.
serve and enrich life, but used
to kill.
The Basques always have
been skilled in music and dane
ing. Bizet's materpiece, Car.
men," was built on Basque must
cal foundations. Their folk
heritage drifts down from
away beyond Greece. The Cy-
clops legend is believed to be of
Basque and not Grecian origin.
Their system of cooperative liv-
ing isn't paralleled in any other
social organization.

1t has developed many great
tennis players, such as Jean

Basque" who plays for France.
There never has been a Serf or
a king in the land of the
BaSques. Their life, language
. and literature has exalted
human dignity and the freedom
of the individual. There, be-
tween the sea and the noun
'tains, their little agricultural
handicraft state has been one Of
the last strongholds of such
dignity and freedom against the
now seemingly memorable forces
of change.
Have they at last been caught
between the inSensate jugger.
nautS that now range the
world? What has the civilized
world to say of the terror, the
pity and tragedy Of the exiled
and scattered Basque children?
One of their Oldest legends
has to do with the serpent

that sleeps in its mountain lair,
and wakes at intervals to devour
man, flocks, houses and lands.
1t is astir now. Will it ever be
slain?

Out of the Dark

THIS Congress has not been particularly liberal
4 toward the District of Columbia in the matter of
legislation enacted.
Most of that which has been passed has been without
substantial local demand support but has carried into
effect ideas which Congressman wished to impose upon
this voteess city.
It surprising therefore that Congress should have
failed thus far in the session. to give consideration to
the pending bill which would set up legal standards for
the election of delegates from the District of Columbia
to the national party conventions and for the election
of national committeeman of the parties in the District
The surprise is occasioned by of the fact that
this legislation would not give to residents of the Dis
trct any power that they not already supposed to
possess.
It would not increase the Districts delegations in the
party gatherings already fixed by the rules of the party
No cry can be raised against this legislation that the
District is trying to "get something for nothing" the
familiar shout of perpetual enemies of the National
Capital.
It is not even movement in the direction of grant
ing to voteless citizens an effective franchise
Plainly and simply the measure, drawn by John P.
Mullen local attorney and introduced in both Senate
and House. would prescribe means by which members
of the political parties in the District could select those
who would represent the party membership of the city
in the national conventions.
At present and for years past these party "repre-
sentatves have represented nobody but the few po-
tcal bosses who have hand picked them to go to the
conventions.
The pending bill would take from the bosses their
present power to dub few ftowners as "repre-
sentatves' of the District and send them forth with
the party banner.
would give that power to the rank and file of the
parties here.
It would legitimate representation of the Dis
trict's feelings in the party conventions
It would mean healthy, clean politics for the city in
place of the behind door maneuvering which now
blots the city every four years.
The Senate and House District committees can do
nothing less than to report the primary bill and insist
upon it's enactment at this session.

Are Great Britain and France
bluffing when they warn the
German-Italian team against
any belligerant action in Spain?
In July, 1914, when Austria
Hungary served her famous ulti-
matum on Serbia after the as
sassination Of Archduke Ferdi-
nand at Serajevo, it was uni
versally regarded as a bluff. 1t
turned out to be the match
which set off the great confla-
grafton.
There are bluffs which become
decisive events in history. Such
may very well be the action of
Germany and Italy in withdraw
ing from the nonintervention
patrol of the great powers for
the purpose of establishing their
own private blockade Of Spain.
It is obvious that if Hitler con.
templated the outbreak Of a gen.
eral European war he would not
concentrate the most effective
units of his navy in the Medi-
terranean, inside the gates OF
Gibraltar.
The British can afford to
watch complacently the passage
of German warships through
Gibraltar, for they can instantly
shut this door and trap in the
Mediterranean the fleet Of the
enemy.
Even the combined German
Italian naval forces would not
be a match for the British and
French fleets, with Great Britain
controlling the high seas.
The purpose of the challeng-
ing action of the German
italian fleets is clearly in the
nature of a test. It is a test OF
the extent Of the resistance of
Great Britain to their broadened
intervention in Spain.
MuSSolini's tactics in the early
stages of the Ethiopian war
followed the same pattern.
Every step forward was preceded
by bold soundings.
The warning now given by
London to Berlin and Rome Is
the answer to the test for the
time being. But it is no setback
to Germany and Italy. They
are one step ahead already.
Their fleets will be careful not
to provoke a conflict with the
British, but they have secured q

Germany had everything to
gain and nothing to lose by the
demonstration Of her naval
strength in the Mediterranean.
The gain is in the effect upon
British public opinion.
Germany has tried in vain,
through diplomatic channels. to
secure the approval of the Brit
ish government for her plans OF
expansion. Nazi diplomacy has
courted London with a view to-
ward obtaining a free hand
for German action in Eastern
Europe, or in Central Europe.
or in regaining her lost colonies.
In this diplomatic tug-of-wars
Germany has been the loser.
Great Britain made a concession
here and a show of friendship
,there, but gave Germany no adj
vanc3 blessings for any OF her
grandiose ambitions.
The display in the Medtter'
ranean is calculated to influence
British public opinion, which IL
at the moment in no mood Tor
war. It is an appeal to that
section of the British public
which believes that peace can
be assured best by an accord
with the Nazi regime.
y \ X
But the Nazi mind has never
been brilliantly successful in
gauging the psychology OF the
British people and of the out
side world in general. Even the
Kat;er miscalculated the temper
of 1.-THE British % years ago,
pluhging Germany into war IN
anticipation of British neutral
ity.t
Tb the people of Great Brit
ain,S the Mediterranean Is not
just another of the seven seas.
It Ii the main artery OF the
Empire. That inland blue basm
stretching from Gibraltar to the
Suez Canal is the heart OF the
worldwide system which Is the
British Empire.
If Germany is persuaded by
italy which dreams Of restoring
the Mediterranean empire OF
ancient Rome, that the British
government will only talk while
they Jointly establish themselves
in Spain. the fatal error OF 1914
may repeat itself.
