In Russia Related
BV Mrs. Smith

tent. "A man cannot even own an
automobile without the consent of
the government" she stated.
The work and accomplishments of
the Americanization School was the
principal subject of Mrs. Smiths
talk. She commended the work of
the Americanism and Manuel of
Citizenship Committees in behalf
of the school.

xram, conditions in her district have
not improved materially since 1882.
The people were worried then and
they're still worried, she said.
Mr.. Bromf1eld, who has lived
abroad most of the past Is years,
prefaced his answer with the ex-
planation that, until he recently
visited the county in Ohio which
he calls home, he had returned only
for one day-10 years ago-in the
past Is years.
And was fascinated to see the
changes" he said. He found his
home town more than doubled in
area, excellent new roads, two beau
tiful new lakes and night clubs
crowded, he declared.
There was less evidence of pow
erty than I remember in my child
hood" he continued, "and I got an
impression Of prosperity and con-
tentment."
Bank Restrictions Blamed.
Miss Sumner had blamed "unrea-
sonable Federal bank restrictions"
for her districts difficulty in in
creasing private employment.
Mr.. Bromf1eld reported that he
had been able to borrow more than
$4,000 on his return from Europe.
And I'm just a novelist" he said.
Both guests spoke informally, Miss
Sumner answering a number of
questions on what she proposes to
do in Congress.
It seemed best to come "as un-
restricted as you can be so that
you can sit down with other people
and solve problems as best you can,"
she said.
Less seriously, she commented:
Il can't be belle, so I'll have to
be bell wether. And I'm an old
maid, so I'll have to be a mother
to my country"
The doctrine that ito the victor
belongs the spoils" she described as
the real albatross around the neck
Of the American people"
