peace. They try to control tic ae-
tivities of descendants OF her own
emigrants. no matter how far
those people may be removed from
any actual tie WITH the homeland.
In every conceivable way they seek
to implant their own ideas and
their oWn standards on foreign
soil.
Cn top Of all this. they nave IN
troduced q new kind OF commercial
war to the world Driving down
their own living standards, they
turn international trade INTO a
struggle which creates poverty in
stead of wealth. They make their
internal policies of low wages, long
hours and small profits matters
which directly affect workers and
producers on the other side OF tae
world.
Todays relationships are net IN
the least like the Relationships OF
tht past. In the old days w could
ignore relationships, figuring that
the World was large enough to
contain repression and freedom
side by side. Today it is extremely
hard u take that atitude-and it
is getting harder every day.
It may be that minding our own
business will require us TO take a
very alert and intelligent interest
in the kind of government our
neighbors treat themselves to.
If they insist on creating the
kind of world in which & free soci-
ETY. could not survive they can
hardly be surprised if We react ac-
cordingly.

warrants going.
That would be costly pension system.
But let's go on.
Each week new warrants would be
printed and issued, and each week the
stamps would increase. Thus, to vail
date SO weeks issues Of warrants, Cali
fornians would have to spend the stag
gering sum of 1922, 400, 900 : FOUR
TIMES THE AMOUNT COLLECTED
IN TAXES IN CALIFORNIA LAST
year.
A costly pension system indeed, More
costly than anything the nation has yet
seen.
One more set of figures.
If all the warrants were kept going
all year and changed hands once week,
The turnover would be S65, ,780 000 900
almost equal to last years national in
come.
Fantastic? Yes.
But these figures would never be prov
ed, because a majority Of the states
financial and business institutions have
already declared they cannot accept
these warrants. Pre-doomed to failure,
the measure should never become law

Words of Wisdom

Men best show their character
in trifles, where they are not on
their guard.-It is in insignificant
matters, and in the simplest habits,
that we often see the boundless
egotism which pays no regard to
the feelings of others, and deniet
nothing to itself.-Schopenhauer.

Sidney Fields, chief comedy
writer for the Eddie Cantor radio
program, told me that five experts
on comedy spend a total of $50
hours each week writing the pro-
gram. Eddie Cantor talks a., ut

With a deficit of $405 000,0 900,
France claims to be facing a finan-
cial crisis. Sounds like Dragging

Diseases run their course, pestil-
ences finally pass, peace and death
come at the last and it's only
natural to expect that the day will
come when radio comedians quit
using killer -diller.'
Indian summer has come and
gone, but we can't forget the abort

or two about makeup, too.
We saw a woman looking at a
necktie in a store window the other
day. and somehow got to thinking
there aren't SO many more shopping
days before Christmas.

One of the things that makes II
hard for Americans to figure cut the
riebt kind of foreign policy taese
davs is the fact that they have al
ways been great believers IN the
old virtue of minding their own
business.
A cardinal point in the American
creed is the belief that any people
has a right TO the kind q zoYefn-
ment il chooses. even If that gov
eminent happens to be atroeiously
bad So if the Germans the Rus
slams. the italians OF any other
people feel like saddling themselves
with governments which look like
holdoyers from the era OF Gaghis
Khan. We have never felt called up-
On to do anything about 1t.
Up to now. thai worked fine. Fer
while the world had some fairly
brutal and reactionary relationships
in the old days, they mostly minded
their own business too. They didn't
try to grab up such loose bits OF
Asia and Africa as weren't nailed
Gown. 10 be sure. but since we had
no vital interests in those spots we
could afford to be quite ancon-
cerned.
But the picture now is different.
The dictatorships are not merely on
their muscle: they seem TO be doing
their very best to create the kind
Of world in which only Dictator
ships can survive
First of all. they arm to the
teeth-and brandish their arms
about as recklessly as SO many
drunken tWo-gun men in a frontier
saloon. They regard neither treat
les nor international law; they op-
emily say they are going to take
what they want and that brute
force is the only power they re-
spect.
Yet that is only starter. They
meddle in the internal affairs OF
their neighbors-mAddle constantly.

Harding Sees
Boom Here

Edward j. Harding, managing
director of the Associated General
Contractors of America, told a
luncheon meeting of the Washing
ton Building Conference yesterday
in the Lafayette Hotel more than
SO million dollars would be spent
in Washington in 1888 for build
ing construction, in both public
and private undertakings.
In making the prediction, Mr..
Harding explained his figures ex-
cluded the 142 million dollar pro-
gram presented to the White
House last week. His report was
based on a special survey con-
Quoted by the contractors organ
ization, designed to ascertain the
building outlook for Washington
and vicinity.
This years private building con-
struction will be boosted by liber-
allied mortgage financing, notably
under the Federal Housing Act.
The District government, Mr..
Harding said, would let contracts
this year FOR more than 10 million
dollars worth of work. Two and a
quarter million dollars, he said,
would be used for public schools.
Authorized Federal building pro
jects call for expenditure of 10
million more. In addition, legiS-
lation is pending providing for
nearly foIlr millions for other Dis.
trict government projects.
"It is quite apparent" he said,
shat the construction industry
in this territory is indeed in
favored position, judged on any
basis Of comparison with any
similar area in the United
States"

"READY TO Die"
SAYSANNAHA
HOPING TO LIVE
Attorney Wages Final
Fight in Court
BY JAMES L. KnGALLEN

COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 8
UN.SJ-"n have to go-1u
die as courageouSly as possible.
I'm not afraid to die"
Blonde Anna Marie Hahn,
scheduled to die in the electric
chair Wednesday evening, made
this assertion in an interview in
her cell. She will be the first
woman executed in Ohio's electric
chair.
IT still feel that maybe I
have q chance" she declared.
Mrs. Hahn, 81, convicted last
November in Cincinnati for the
poison murder Of aged Jacob Wag-
ner, q gardner, sat calmly in her
cell. rocking back and forth i'm a
chair as she talked freely to 80
newspaper men and women.
She said she based hey hope on
possible escape from the electric
chair on Gov. Martin L. Davey.
Asked regarding her chances, she
replied:
''I still believe they wouldn't
want to take my life. After I'm
gone they can't hurt me. But
Oscar
She didn't finish the sentence.
Oscar is her 12-year-old son, who
last saw his mother at Easter
tine when he spent two days with
her.
INSISTS ON INNOCENCE
Asked "Are you innocent?" she
replied:
II am" Her blue eyes stared
directly at her interrogator. She
then said she did not have fair
trial.
1T was unfair in every re-
spect. The prosecution tried to
blacken my whole character.
The prosecution said I wasn't
any good. We all do things in
life we shouldn't do. None OF
US are perfect"
She revealed that she knows
what is going on, that there is
q radio just outside her cell doors
and that she always listens to the
news broadcastS. She also has
been permitted to read newspapers
since she was incarcerated last
December /.
LAST-MINUTE FIGHT
Her counsel, Joseph Hoodin,
was planning to go into court
this afternoon in a move to block
the execution with a petition ask"
ing that the case be appealed to
the Supreme Court Of the United
States.
No action is expected on Gov
ernor Davey's part until after the
State supreme court has acted on
this petition. The governor has
given no intimation of what he
would do.
There has been no movement to
prevent the execution, says Mrs.
Margaret Altman, director of wei
fare, the first woman cabinet
member in Ohio, who is in charge
Of penal institutions. She con-
sidered this is an astonishing
angle" of the case.
Legal authorities pointed out
that if Mrs. Hahn's petition for an
appeal to the United States Su-
preme Court is allowed, her execu-
ton would be put off indefinitely.
1t would take 80 days to make a
record of the trial for the United
States Supreme Court. BY that
time, the court would be on vaca-
ton and would not get a chance to
review the case before the :. st
week in October.
