Says Boake Carter

We were literally pushed into the Philippines
without the United States public knowing what
was happening or why. The British Government,
plus minority of American expansionists, naval
lists and group of powerful clergymen who felt
we had divine command to Christianize the
Fflipinos even if we had to shoot and butcher the
Spaniards to do so, were the "pushers."
The treaty taking all the Philippines was
ratified by margin of merely TWO votes The
Spanish War was supposedly fought to help
Cuban insurrectionists gain their independence.
The same war ironically created war of insur-
rection in the Philippines against the United
States That war lasted five years, took more
than 1000 American lives led us to commit many
brutalities, cost us conservatively $17O, 1000 O0O

Balance Sheet ShOWs Losses
HAVING obtained the islands, however, what
have been our commercial relations? The
balance sheet shows mostly losses for the United
States and profits for the Philippines
The present act provides that our commercial
relations with the Philippines be on the same
basis as with any other foreign nation after 1896
But every citizen might remember that our
trade with the Philippines for the LAST FORTY
YEARS has been LOSS and in the RED side of
the ledger.

Priming

Q.N.S) Unless. business i'm.
proves materially within the next
few weeks, the Administration
will turn to relation or a spend
ing program to prime the pump,
Senator Wheeler CD, of Mon
tana, forecast today.
His views were shared by other
Senators. Generally there was ex-
pectation that with the return O,
mild weather, a seasonal upturn
would occur in business and that
passage of the tax-revision bill
would make business men more
confident.
Consideration OF the relief ap-
preparation for the next fiscal
year was being delayed until late
at this session of Congress. If
business does not pass through
the doldrums. by, spring, little
whiting of the relief allotment
can be expected, leaders said.
There are two ways, as I
see it, that we can meet the
preSe mt business situation"
Wheeler said. I'VE can follow
the course of further liquida.
tion and let everything go
through the wringer and start
from that point up on a more
sound basis, or we have got to
raise commodity prices.
In order to raise commodity
prices we have got to have re-
flation or initiation. whichever
you prefer to call it.

House today.
The measure. which makes no
material change in the total cor
poration tax burden, was designed
to remove inequitieS and meet the
complaints of business that pres.
ent tax laws hamper production
and keep industry in a state of
fear.
The Senate will receive the
measure after House action, with
indications that even further
notifications may be made in the
hope of stimulating business
activities.
LEADERS OVERRIDDEN
The bill, which has been before
the House for one week, was
brought to the point of final
votes on a few amendments and
passage late yesterday after the
House for the third time had
shown its independence and had
overridden the leadership.
Major amendments, on which
the House was to vote before final
passage, included the Fuller
amendment, providing publicity
for corporation salaries of SIS, 600
and over: the Mccormack amend
ment. striking out the penalty tax
on family and closely.held cor
porationS; the Thompson amend
ment, putting a Scent excise tax
on imported pork, and the Robert
eon amendment, boosting the Fed
eral liquor tax from 50 to $2.25 a
gallon.
Leaders in charge of the bill
were expected to demand a roll
call on the Mccormack amend
ment. which knocked out of the
bill a provision approved by the
White House.

Ethel had stood on that very porch.
But she had no thoughts for her
own safety now. Jimmie was some
where out in this raging tornado and
she must find him. She saw Mr..
Bemis trying to hoist up his awning
across the street. Even as he grasped
the ropes the cloth was torn to rib
bonS.
Ethel rushed across the street and
screamed her story in his ears. He
looked at her white face, seized her
arm and together they started up
the street toward the school. Prog
ress was practically impossible. Fall
en- trees and power line poles
blocked their path. At the corner
of Main and Pleasant streets they
saw the body Of a child pinned be-
meath section of billboard. Ethel
screamed and tainted.
When she returned to conscious
ness she was lying on the couch in
her living room. The wind still
howled maddeningly, but the peak
OF the storm had passed. She sat up
with start. remembering, icy fear
clutching at her heart. She searched
Mr.. Bemis' face, but he dropped his
eyes.

Ethel lay back and moaned. Stark,
hideous terror was making her
numb. robbing her Of her senses.
And then suddenly the door opened
and Jimmie came bounding into the
room, his eyes cleaning, his face
flushed and excited. Behind him
came Rosemary.
Mamma! Mamma! Aunt Rose
and I had swell time! We were
down in the cellar!"
In the cellar?" Ethel said weakly
She looked at Rosemary. Rosemary
grinned sheepishly.
Like when they have cyclones

"You see," Rosemary offered, "the
wind was blowing hard and Jimmie
had stopped in and wanted me to
tell him story. So I told him about
the Florida hurricanes and then
Well, thought it would be fun for
him if-I-we-had no idea what
was really happening until we came

Ethel wasn't sure whether she
should give them both scolding or
not. Jimmie came and put his arms
around her neck and kissed her, and
she decided not.
