relates to the personalities Of John
l.. Lewis and William Green. The
impression has been permitted to
grow that these two men alone as
a consequence of tenacity OF view
or personal incompatibility have
prevented peace from coming to
fruition. Such an impression can
have a slight foundation in fact
and yet play an exaggerated part.
For Mr.. Green and Mr.. Lewis each
has quite impersonally his own con-
ception of what Americas labor
movement should be and it would
be odd if they did not hold so
strongly to their views as to raise
doubts concerning the possibility of
an adjustment or compromise plan.
But the situation now has gone
beyond personal desires or relation

labor has transcribed questions OF

TALLAHASSEE, Fla, Feb. 81
Civil action may be started in the
courts-under law passed in 1885
to collect for the State all money
paid to bank night winners in
Florida.
The State Supreme Court decided
that bank night was lottery and,
therefore, outlawed under the con-
stitution.
Attorney General George Couper
Gibbs reported the old statute re-
curing his Office and every State
attorney to start action to get. for
the State. money collected from
theaters or money offered but not
distributed because bank night was
stopped.
Mr.. Gibbs promptly wrote all the
State attorneys in Florida to in

ing any moneys which were
offered or won as prizes in such
schemes"
Attorneys said bank night money
won more than two years ago could
not be attacked because of the

Mexico and Germany, in which Mr..
Davis was the middleman.
The planes were supposedly
bought from German for the Span
ish Loyalists, but the deal was
wrecked with the rebel victory at
Barcelona. American pressure is
supposed to have blocked the bar
ter deal.
Unlike the late Sir Basil Zaharoff,
Mr.. Davis does not wear an Inver-
ness cape and a black slouch hat,
and he is no in1palpable figure,
Sinking through the shadows of the
castle keep. He is a trim-rigged
business executive with steely gray
eyes and nice, neat $3.50 suit, with
a penchant for rough-and- tumble
lawsuits, here and there and every
where around the world. It is per-
haps the American way. as con-
trasted to the Graustarkian doings
of Sir Basil. This disregard of
romantic stereotypes. however, has
not prevented the news scouts from
tagging him "the mystery man of
international finance" on the Slight
est provocation. His fast and be-
wilderingly complex, off-stage deals
in oils, railroads and What-not. on
three continents, have earned him
the appellation.
He was a poor boy in Alabama,
doing short turn in Stark College
at Montgomery. First magazine
and candy salesman on the rail-
road, he became fireman and then
locomotive engineer. He had a
keen eye for loose oil. After year
| or two at the throttle, he climbed
down at Muskogee, Okla, and Or
ganized gas and oil company. He
parlayed various leavings or over
sights of the big operators into i'm
pressive holdings and soon was
swarming all over South America in
fast and complicated oil and in
dustrial deals. A revolution in Peru
in 1929 wrecked his biggest railroad
promotion.
In July of last year he was re-
ported to have relayed $4,000 900
worth of Mexican oil to Germany
in a barter deal. Various corre-
spondents have pegged him as the
go-between in the supposed Reich
transactions after the Mexican oil
appropriation. He heads the firm
of w. r. Davis & Co. of New York
and Boston, with Offices in Q New

able sentiment prevails in the Sen

action. Some Senators hold that as
long as the United States is de-
termined to relinquish the Philip
pines, the necessity for fortifying
Guam automatically loses much of
its justification. Under the circum-
stances, they feel nothing is to be
gained by "provocation" of Japan.
This point is likely to be the leitmotif
of ti-fortification argument in
Senate debate. But there will be
no lack of forceful pleading that
anything savoring of backdown in
the teeth of Japanese threats would
be far more disastrous. Senators
haven't forgotten that when the
