is proposed to make it Warrington,

charge OF about IS cents. In fact, the
whole lakeside may become . popular
resort. owned by the community. with
all the revenues going into the COM
munity funds.
Concessions May Be Let Out.
The stores and theater will be
owned by the community. They may
be let out as concessions. They may
be operated by the town itself. In
any event, it is expected, there will be
large revenue from them. Take,
for example, the beer garden.
These revenues may be used
eventually to reduce rents. They NAV
be invested in the community itself
for new groups Of houses, public IA
clllties. ETC., which will bring in more
revenue.
Admittedly, from the present out
look, the Government can whistle for
any interest on its investment. That.
Mr.. Richards holds, will be 4 fair de-
ouction for the extra costs Of relief
labor. The money would have been
spent anyway to keep the men from
starving. Ordinarily there would have
been very little return for 1t.

NHE SO-called tOtAl1tAr1An eX-
pertinent" in Paraguay Is at
an end. The new regime has
a repudiated the much-publi-
ci8ed political reforms promised by
former President Rafael Franco and
has announced the return of the
country to constitutional. represent
ative republican form of govern
ment. The provisional chief execu-
tive, civilian and a member OF one
OF the traditional political parties,
has stated that his only objectives
ARE to maintain order and to prepare
the nation for general elections At an
early date
When Col. Franco, early last year,
overthrew the legitimate Ayala gov
ernment, American newspapers dis
played in prominent headlines his in
tentions to set up in Paraguay a to
talitarian regime patterned along
lines familiar in certain European
countries, They predicted great So
cial and economic changes in the
|southern republic, which was to be
the first testing ground OF totalitarian
ooctrines in the New World.
However, students OF Latin Ameri-
can politics, as We said at the time,
|old not have to take the news 20 seri-
ously. They knew that the total
ltarlan regime was really an old in
st'tution south of the Rio Grande. It
had not been known by that name
out what greater absolutism, one party
rule, or one-man rule than those
characteristic of the numerous die
tatorlal and personalistic governments
which had figured so largely in the
annals OF nearly every one OF the
Latin American nations?

When Mussolini was only 4 modest
corporal in the Italian army and Hitler
an even less conspicuous one in the
kalser's legions, the totalitarian regime
was already a living reality in Latin
America. As matter of fact. in many
OF the Southern republics, then tenn
porarily free of that type of govern
ment. it was referred to as a thing of
the pest. Paraguay, by the way, had
supplied three of the more outstanding
OF the early dictators, forerunners of
modern totalitarian leaders. And we
pointed out that perhaps it was no
mere coincidence that Col. Franco in
MS appeals for popular support was
making frequent references to the
glories and achievements of all three
OF them, Francia and the two Lopez.
The program Of the "totalitarian re-
Rime' in Paraguay, as broadcast by Col.
Franco, gave, also, 4 clue rs to how
seriously 1t need be taken. It consisted

Fortunately the surgeon was al

With Sawdy's flesh wound al

He was enjoying in leisurely fash

Jane ran for the door. "Hold on

loe. Lets make sure who it is"
He opened the door himself, step
ped quickly outside, and shut it be-
hind him. Within a very few min
utes, ages to Jane, she heard the
stamping of horses. Pardaloe flung
the door open and called for Carpy.
Jane hurried out with him.
Dropping low, Denison, iron-will-
ed, had stuck to the end of the
gruelling ride. Scott told him they
had followed up the east bank of
the creek-he himself on Rebstock' s
horse; how by great good fortune
they had found flask of whisky in
Rebstock's saddle-bag, and that this
had helped revive the wounded man
when they halted to "spelr' him;
and how they had crossed Deep
Creek at a reservation ford not far
below Gunlock ranch.
Carpy and Pardaloe lifted Denison
down from the horse, Jane support
ed his head and stopped to caress
him and murmur low words. They
laid him on her bed.
