submitted by the AT of L and any
other proposals that may be submit

Raleigh, March 11.-(AP)-A bill

about 10000 State employees and

Raleigh, March 11.-Eight or six
or even four years ago when Gregg
Cherry was making a reputation as

bloc" in the house of representatives,
if someone had predicted that in 1889
that same Cherry would assume
leadership of the larger spending
group, the prediction would have
ridiculed, But those who came to
laugh would remain to pray, for it
was Gregg Cherry who Thursday
night led the fight which succeeded
in increasing appropriations for the

Washington, March 11.-(AP)-
Some senators predicted today that
the administration would drop the
idea of asking Congress to increase
the public debt limit by $5,OOO,OOO,-
900.
Secretary of the Treasury Nor
genthau told House committee re-
Gently 1--WE are going to have to ask
Congress to extend the debt limit
from $45,000,0 100000 to $5O,OOO,OOO,-
600 if the legislators approve the ex-
penditures proposed in President
Roosevelt's budget estimates"
Senator Schwellenbach, Democrat,
Washington, an administration sup
porter, commented today, however,
that he saw no necessity of increas-
ing the limitation this session, if it
would suffice until next year. Other
senators, asking that their names be
withheld, said they were confident
the administration would not ask the
increase. They said raising of the
limit now would undoubtedly tend
to disturb business confidence.
In addition, some congressional
Democrats expressed apprehension
that it might be dangerous politi-
cally to affect the increase.
Treasury estimates have placed
the probable debt on June 80, 1910,
at $44, 100000, within $6OO,OOO,-
900 of the limit.

u FRIEND of mine, brilliant literary
~ critic, was invited recently to give a
- d series of lectures at an English univer-
sity. After preparing his material carefully, he
gave the first talk with all his customary skill
and intelligence. He was somewhat surprised.
therefore, after concluding it, when some of
the students approached him with COM
plant. He was more surprised to hear the
nature of the complaint.
Professor" one of them said, we've been
looking forward to your lectures and we know
that we'll learn great deal from them But
the subject that you've chosen for the series
seems little strange to us - the poetry of
Lord Byron. After all, who reads Byron these
days? What does he have to give our genera
ton? We're living in different age and his
philosophy of life just doesn't fit into it. And
then, we don't think his poetry ever was much
good; it 8 rough. unfinished. stodgy; it doesn't
even have beauty and harmony. We've been
wondering if you couldn't choose some young
modern poet instead"
My friend didn't show his astonishment at
all. He smiled pleasantly

treaty was despicable and even criminal -be |
cause he thought it had been drawn up by d
statesman he disliked. Later, he changed hid
opinion in about five minutes - because hid
had just found out that statesman he ad-
mired had written it.
There are whole nations that we think Of
with hatred either because we have inherited
the prejudice from our ancestors or because
one representative of that nation has done us
real or imagined harm. From the moment wei
hold such antagonisms we become incapable
of reasonable judgment. We neglect or pass
over in silence honorable actions of the hated
group; we overemphasize dishonorable ones.
If we have chosen to be opposed to nation =

And 50? So should think for our
selves. We should judge everything - work
of art, a nation, people. a political measure
- on its own merits. Above all, we should
make ourselves aware of the real facts of any
situation, the motives that compel human ac-
tions, before we come to decision. For other
wise our judgments will be swerved by human
passions, and therein lies the seed of tragedy.

Measures Against Jews

LONDON, June 23.-Dr. Emil
Hacha, puppet president of the only
nominally existing Czech republic,
has lodged a protest with Reich
Protector Baron Konstantin Won
Neurath against the forcible Aryan-
ization of Jewish property in
Bohemia which was ordered by
the protectors decree issued late
Wednesday night.
This announcement, made last
night from Prague, comes all the
more as a surprise because negotia-
tions were conducted between the
Bohemian-C Czech government and
the protectors Office for drafting
the anti-Jewish law. These negotia-
tions go back to October last year.
Immediately after Munich, the
Nazis ''unofhcially' asked the
Czecho-S -Slovak government to effect
far-reaching anti-Semitic measures.
To soothe the Germans, this was
promised. and many professors and
high state officials were dismissed
because of Jewish origin.
But the Germans, still dissatisfied,
asked for further measures after the
occupation of Bohemia -Moravia in
March. Especially the Sudeten
