Just previous to the Bowl Of
Rice" celebration to raise funds for
Chinese civilian relief, Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt, Jr.. said:
New words or new metaphors are
needed to give an adequate de-
scription of the calamity that has
descended upon the civilian popula-
ton of China. All the old ways to
measure human distress are made
quate. But it is literally true that
if every city west of the Mississippi
were wiped out-every home de-
stroyed and the entire population
starving and without shelter-the
sum total of human misery would be
far less than that which exists in
China today"
He said that four tons of quinine
shipped to China within the last
three months had been enough to
treat only small fraction of those
IN urgent need of medical attention,

SENATOR HOLT JUMPS
WPA LAl-OrF AS TRICK

Washington, Nov. 20 The
administration is cutting down
WP payrolls now because the
political influence" of workers
will not be needed until 1910,
Senator Holt said today.
Noting recent announcement
that WPA payrolls have been
decreased almost $4,000, Holt
said:
Their political influence not
needed until 1910, WPA workers
are being discharged by Harry
Hopkins. 1t is not changes in
business conditions that prompt
the order to fire thousands of
relief workers."
Holt said an investigation If
West Virginia showed only low
paid WPA wo. liers were being
discharged while higher-paid
officials had received increases.
He said he found Il persons who
had their SALARIES increased by
$4,000, or an average of $527.27
per year.
"One who received sala:y in.
creases since he started to work
for the WPA is Raymond o
Lewis (staff engineer), b.Othel
of John l.. Lewis, who came tt
West Virginia from another
state to take his present position
His salary increases since 1885,
amount to 5000. per year. A re
lief worker who is employed
eve:y week for a year earn
$46O.80." Holt said.

Washington, Nov 29.-Amid
enthusiastic predictions of a

But, the controversy between
the committees conservative fac

the party emphasis must be plac-
ed upon liberalism, was not
permitted to come to the floor.
Some had expected a battle be-

However, an arrangement
was worked out whereby the

COACHING FROM THE
SIDELINES

The terrible and deadly new
bomb Hitler has ready for use,
and which he tested in Spain is,
another American invention, we
hear. This potent weapon is a
dural (metaD shell charged with
a handful of wool and more or
less liquid air-a simple device
but capable of terrific damage
wherever one is dropped. The
beauty Of this instrument Of
destruction is that they cost al
most nothing. Which puts the
poor rations on an equal basis
with the rich ones-in bombing.
The ifrerzied pc, secution of
the Jews in Germany by Hitler
shows all the earmarks of being
carefully planned, despite the
Paris mu der. The fire CD that
Hitler assessed the Jews for
damages done sounds like some
of the things our gangsters tried
years ago. The latest develop
ment promises to be hot indeed.
International financial dealings
of insurance companies, mainly
English, appear to have fixed
the stage for WOW of an inter-
national low since Herr Hitler
thinks he can make them pay
for the damage his men did!
