Despite Church Pressure; Rail
roads Lobby To Place Maritime
Regulation Under Friendly lCC.
Washington-Kee your eyes
for a new move TO strengthen re-
lations with Soviet Russia.
One or two Cabinet members
have got restive over the narrow
policy of the State Department in
giving Russia the cold shoulder
merely because Of $l78,OOO,OOO IN
unsettled debts.
The ex-Allies owe this country
about eleven billions, these Off
cials point out, compared to which
the Russian Indebtedness is mere
feed. Meanwhile the
United States is cutting off its
nose to spite its face by losing
tremendous amounts of profitable
trade, also Russian political sup
port in the Far East.
NGSe:-PreSent State Depart
ment policy is to put Russian on
the No. 3 or worst list in setting
tariff rates, and to refuse all
dealings with her Through the
Export Import Bank. Meanwhile
the bank gives credits to Fascist
Italy.
Sit-Down- Strike Murphy
Red-headed Frank Murphy,
Governor of Michigan, was about
20 address an audience. The
crowd rose in tribute TO him.
Sit down." he told them. I'm
used to it,"
Basque Children
The State Department has been
under terrific underCover pressure
by Catholic groups to prevent The
admission OF 500 Basque chill
dren. whom American sympath-
izers plan to place with American
families as a result of the siege OF
Bilbao.
Catholic leaders claimed that
The children were to be placed in
the homes Of American Commun-
lists.
However, the State Department
stood its ground. In the first
place, Basque Catholic priests are
to accompany the children and
make sure that they are properly
cared for.
In the second place, a secret
precedent already existed for the
admission of refugee children,
when 250 German-JeWiSh chill
dren came here during the Nazi
purge.
IncidenSlly. applications for
Basque children already have
been received from $4,000 Ameri-
can families. Since there are on
ly 500 to go around, the commit
tee plans to be very choOSy about
the foster parents. Probably the
kids will live in clover. T..
Maritime Raid
The new U. S. Maritime Com
mission can testify that 1t never
rains but it pourS.' -
Working day and night to pass
on shipping routes involving mil
lions dollars, which mus be dis
posed Of by June 80, the Commits
sioners suddenly have been con-
fronted by a flank rad on Cap
itol Hill.
Railroad lobbyists. operating
behind scenes, have engineered
bills transferring regulatory au-
thority over inland, coaStWiSe and
foreign shipping lines to The In
terState Commerce Commission.
This would deflate the Maritime
Commission like a pricked bal
loon.
For years the railroads have
been trying to jockey regulation
of competing water carriers un-
der the wing of the ICC-Whcre

road-minded officials.

Finlay turned governments evi-

kin. Pierre Paul, and three other
FlatheadS to the galloWS for the
murder of white man in 1890.
He himself was sent TO the Mon

Feeling against Finlay among

ran high for many months, after
the quadruple hangings at Mis-

PLANT
TREES


intelligent trimming, its aim falls short OF
present necessity. For it has become a
problem of replacement, rather than pre-
scrvation, that must be solved if the clty's
reputation for beauty is to be preserved.
The trees, upon which that reputation has
been SO largely based were of no Sponta-
neous growth. With civic pride Elizabeth
City residents of a past generation adorned
their streets with the shade trees which came
to full flower within the past decades, and
are now definitely Oh the wane.
Each year storm or other casualty has
taken a toll of some before their time, and
now the hand of time itself bears down on
all of The original trees that remain. Each
year OpelS n,Orc gaps in their ranks. The
post office, once embOwcrcd in foliage. now
stands naked to the eye. Each year sees
another vacancy or another Snag left stand
ing on the courthouse lawn.
The best of care, the most careful of prun-
ing, cannot long extend the life of a tree
nearing its allotted span of years.
The time has come when the people of
Elizabeth City must plant as pridefully as
did their@forebears if the civic charm which
has been their heritage is to endure.
