Debt Payment Rumors

IRON a London correspondent
comes the report that prelim-
mary negotiations have begun for
final settlement by Great Britain
and France of their defaulted debts
to the United States. 1t is asserted
the discussions, started some weeks
ago by Ambassador Kennedy and
British Prime Minister Chamber
lain, were carried forward in secret
talks in Paris among Secretary of
the Treasury Morgenthau, Ambas-
sador Bullitt, French Foreign Min
lister Bonnet and Finance Minister
Marchandeau.
Both Britain and France, says the
correspondent, have expressed will
ingness to conclude a final settle
ment on the basis of the prin-
cipa1 and not the interest of the
original debts, which aggregated
1926, $50, 943 = SIS, 1875, 100, 1853 con-
tracted by Britain and 81, 1O1 ,22O 100

settlement Britain and France are
asking for reduction of the prin-
cipal of the original debts, which.
If granted, would serve as the foun-
dalton for arranging the payment.

Bar Hits Labor Act

COMMITTEE reports received by
~ the house of delegates of the
American Bar association in ses-
sion in Cleveland denounced the ma
tional labor relations act as "inten-
styling class antagonisms"; and
condemned "despotic tendencies" of
governmental administrative tri-
bunals.
The committee on labor, employ
ment and social security in its re-
port said the labor act is "the delib-
crate embodiment of a new social
policy" in which the government
"has departed from the traditional
role of mediator and arbiter."
The assault on governmental adj
ministrative agencies, such as the
securities and exchange commits
sion, interstate commerce commits
sion, N. L. r. B., and others, was
contained in report of the COM
mittee on administrative law, head
ed by former Dean Roscoe Pound
of Harvard university law school.

Dieesticiiify Of Meat

In considering the nutritive
worth of any food it is necessary
not only to analyze its contribu-
tons to the diet, but to determine
how well its nutrients are utilized
by the body. Meat has a high
food value because its protein is
digested rapidly and thoroughly.
Tests show that 81 to SO per cent
of meat protein is digested and
absorbed. The length of time meat
remains in the stomach will de-
pend upon various factors, such
as the amount of fat present, the
method of cooking and the degree
of maStication. But there is no
marked difference in the thor
oughness with which the different
kinds of meat are digested.
Since it is so completely digest
ed, however, meat supplies little
bulk, and it is therefore essential
that an abundance of leafy vege-
tables and fruits should be eaten
at the same time.

huge scale, the raising OF funds by
intimidation = all were being IN
dulged in by the two rival candi-
dates, according to the committee.
Those who are seeking the NOM
nation are Sen. George L. Berry,
Tom Stewart, j. Ridley Mitchell,
DR.. John r. Neal and c. L. Powell.
Stewart is supported by E. H.
Crump, political boss of Memphis.
Berry is backed by the state ma
chine and Gov. Gordon Browning.
''The committee is of the opin-
ion,' its statement said, "that the
evidence already before it with re-
spect to assessments of federal en-
ployees by one group participating
in the Democratic primary contest
for United States senator and OF
state employees by the other group,
points sharply toward an election
contest in the United States senate
regardless of which groups candl-
date triumphs.
Regardless of action that may
be taken in the courts to punish
those practicing illegal election
methods and those exercising po-
Itical pressure, there are indica-
tions that the senate may be called
upon to consider the probability OF
excessive money being used In be-
half of the victorious candidates.
Besides its pronouncement on
Tennessee, the committee asked
Postmaster General Farley to in
vestigate the distribution of 'po-
litical circular" by the Farm Sc
curity administration in South Da-
kota. The circular, it was said,
was sent out under government
frank to "aid the senatorial candi-
dacy of former Gov. Tom Berry of
South Dakota"
The committee also dispatched in
vestigators to Georgia, Illinois, In
diana, North Dakota and California.
It heard reports from its investiga-
tors already at work in Pennsyl-
vania and Kentucky and sent them
back for additional information.
1t dismissed from consideration a
charge that a recent statement by
WPA Administrator Hopkins that
90 per cent of WPA workers would
vote for the Roosevelt administra-
ton was coercive. The committee
said the statement was in answer to
a press question and was in no
way dictation to workers"

Hoffman Dares N.L.R.B.

GLARE E. HOFFMAN, Republic
~ can congressman from Michi-
gan, has challenged the National La
Dor Relations board in the matter
of constitutional guarantees of free
dom of speech and of the press. He
sent to the board a letter recalling
that the body recently declared the
circulation of a house speech by
Hoffman constituted an unfair labor
practice under the Wagner act. In
the speech Hoffman declared that
known communists were active in
the Committee for Industrial Organ
ization and denounced c. /. o sit
down strikes as communistic meth
DDS.
''This Speech" Hoffman's letter
said, ''was republished, with illus
trations, by the Constitutional Edu-
cational league of New Haven,
Conn.
81 am now offering, and intend
to continue to offer, to furnish tc
any and all interested persons, in
GLIDING employees, employers, or
others, copies of this address for
circulation at the actual cost of
printing, and to recommend that
employees might well read this ad-
dress before joining the c. I. O."
Commenting on the letter, Repre-
sentative Hoffman said that the
boards ruling would preclude the
distribution of newspapers contain
ing news items or editorials criti-
cal of any organization or of activi-
ties of the labor board.
The American Federation Of La
Dor charged in its official organ, the
American Federationist, that NAL
administration of the Wagner act is
threatening American democracy.
The publication printed an editorial
bluntly accusing the National La
Dor Relations board of promoting
the rival Committee for Industrial
Organization (which seeks to set up
a dual labor movement despite all
the social and economic waste
which dualism involves.
Every agency of the government
that gives status to the c. I. o gives
the same recognition, it continued.
Surely this is not freedom for
workers to choose their own unions
and representatives for collective
bargaining, but union development
under government patronage"

BIames COP. for Debt

CECRETARY OF AGRICULTURE
y WALLACE blames the Republi-
can policies of the twenties for "the
unusual increase in the federal debt
in the last nine years" Addressing
the Iowa Democratic convention, he
said: ''In the Democratic thirties
we have been like sailors SOLDERING
up the morning after, with the fed
eral government playing the part of
nurse"
The secretary said the federal
debt of the Democratic thirties is
being carried with ease by a country
restored to health" He took his
audience through a set of figures
which he said showed total debts
in the United States today to be
5000, 900, 900 less than in 1880. Pri-
vate debts, for instance, he said,
are $12, 900, 900, 900 under the 1882 to-
tai and $4,000, 900, 900 less than in
1880.

Hull Prods Cardenas

CECRETARY OF STATE HULL.
- out of patience with Mexico, sent
to President Cardenas a sharp note
protesting Mexico's failure to pay
for American owned farm lands that
the Mexican government has seized.
Mr.. Hull asked that the matter be
submitted to arbitration. The Sec
rotary has in this the full approval
of President Roosevelt, for the ad-
ministration feels that Cardenas is
endangering the "Good Neighbor"
relations between the two countries.
Sen. Key Pittman of the senate
foreign relations committee also
backs up Mr.. Hull, asserting that
if Mexico refuses to arbitrate she
will be subject to economic penal
ties.
Mexico" he said, ''then would
forfeit all the financial and other
voluntary aid we have given her
through our spirit of friendship and
desire for peace, prosperity, and up
building of that country"

Value Of Meat Exfractives

Meat contains small amounts of
extractives. 1t is partly because
one misses their savory flavor
that meal without meat often
fails to tempt or satisfy the appe-
tite.
The extractives indirectly aid in
the digestion of meat proteins be-
case they stimulate the flow of
the digestive juices. Experiments
have demonstrated that meat in
duces a flow of gastric juice in
direct proportion to the amount
consumed.
This calling forth of great physi-
illogical activity of the stomach
is one reason why meat is said
to be the most satisfying of all
foods, and to "stick to the ribs"
longest.

There are the same good rea-

Meat as a Blood Builder

Beth gIandular and muscle
meats are rich in the blo0d-build-
ing mineral, iron, and meat also
contains copper. The glandular
organs, particularly liver, have
great value in the prevention and
treatment of anemia. Pernicious
anemia baffied physicians for
many years until, in 1926, two not
ed American scientists discovered
that liver contains a principle
which stimulates red blood cell
formation. This discovery has
been ranked with the discovery of
insulin as one of the greatest in
our times.
Meat also contains a high per-
centage of phosphorus. It is poor
in calcium, however, and this nee
essary substance must be OBJ
tanned in adequate amounts from
milk, cheese and green leafy
vegetables.
