By the Associated Press.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, June IS.
Gov. Arthur H. James of Penn
sylvania asserted tonight that the
national administration had "sinned
away the day of grace during which
American Intervention would have
had moral force among the Euro
pean combatants."
The Governor, in an address be-
fore a district Republican rally,
said, Nov that physical force is
the only instrumentality which will
carry weight abroad, we find our
selves in the shameful dilemma of
not having the physical force need
ed and yet being nearer than ever
to actual participation"
The administration, he added,
Continues to edge nearer to actual
entry into the war" despite failure
to maintain our defenses to q
point where they are adequate to
defend our own shores"

Finland Pays on Debt
Despite Moratorium
Signed by President
Procope Presents Check
For $l59,398 and Notes
Deep Gratitude for Law
BY the Associated Press.

Finland paid the annual INSTALL
ment on her war debt yesterday and
a short time later the White House
announced that President Roosevelt
had signed legislation granting the
small nation 10-year moratorium
on her payments.
Hjalmer j. Procope, the Finnish
Minister handed check for $159, 1913
to Herbert E. CASTOR, Assistant
Treasury Secretary.
The moratorium resolution was
rushed through Congress Friday
and Mr.. Procope noted with deep
gratitude the new sign of friendship
and understanding for my country"
However" he told Mr.. CASTOR,
"as things stand and under existing
conditions have to hand you this
check"
Rumania Makes a Payment.
The State Department, meanwhile
announced that Rumania had made
conditional 100000 payment on
its June Is debt installment of
$1.386,87O.
In a letter to Secretary Hull
Radu Irimescu. Rumanian Minister
to the United States, said the pay
ment was conditioned on subse-
quent agreement between the two
countries on settlement of the
debt.
The Finnish Minister said when
he handed the check over that it
was dated June IL, three days prior
to the action by Congress. He added
however, that "in due course, I shall
inform my government of the reso-
luton" This left the way open for
future acceptance of the moratorium
offer by the Firms should they wish
to delay payments.
Hungary Pays.
Mr.. CASTOR took the check on be-
half of Secretary Morgenthau, who
Is spending the week end at his
Fishkill, N. Y. farm.
The moratorium resolution was
offered by Senator Vandenberg, Re-
publican, of Michigan as token
Of American appreciation for scru-
pulous promptness with which Fin
land alone among the Nations debt
ors. has met every installment on
her debt in full.
Hungary attempted to meet her
obligation, also due yesterday. She
paid $9,828l6 on a total of S37,4lO sc
due.

YVES MAKES A CATCH
CHAPTER xxx

During the few days since they had discovered the significant cache i'll Rainbow Canyon, Wesley had barely mentioned it to Ronnie at all In truth, he was gravely disturbed. He wondered if he should simply make light of it so to prevent Ron nie Bailey from doing something foolhardy again.
 "She is very impulsive,' he told himself. "iShe went with MT. Starr of the Border Patrol to arrest some Japanese and-!"
 Wes interrupted his thoughts, snapped his fingers.
 'Gosh!" he breathed, aloud.
 He had been sitting at his office desk with a book on primitive In- dian cultures before him, but he hadn't read much. Now, he for got the book altogether.
 Here was an array of assorted facts which suddenly had slipped a little closer together. Bonnie Bailey, daughter of an airplane manufacturer just moved to New Mexico. Five Japanese shooting at her not far from Rainbow Can yon, and being captured by the Federal Border Patrol. United States Army officers arriving to test a priceless new bomb sight on the isolated plains. Andre Girar- deau seen coming from Lona Mon toya's apartment, and Andre Gi- rardeau apparently intimate with the Baileys and with the army of ficers as well. Lona Montoya seen meeting a strange man ill Rainbow Canyon.
 ''Whew!" Wes exclaimed again, quietly.
 The facts didn't quite add up, didn't dovetail. But they did alarm him. He realized too that he alone knew all these facts, and this weighed heavily. Added information most important of all, really-was that Ronnie Bailey had violet eyes, and hair that shone with the deep rich glint of youth and healthful- ness, and an incomparably pretty smile. These latter phenomena, no doubt, could be claimed by other young women somewhat but Wesley had never encountered them, or at least had never been aware of them. But one was constantly aware of Bonnie Bailey even in ones most intimate thoughts!
 He wondered if he should go at once and tell Ronnie that he knew about Lona, that Lona and Andre Girardeau were friends.
 But no. No, that wouldn't do. He had merely seen Andre leaving the place. It might have been just a date. Any other implication was purely a matter of suspicion 20 far, Wes reminded himself. To tell Ronnie about it would be vpiteful act of love rival.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-12-11

Because he wanted to think these things out, Wes left the cam pus at 5 D. m, walked to the Uni versity stables, and took out his horse. He said he would ride fol half an hour or so before supper time.
 But he was less than a mile out Arroyo del Rey when the mag nificence of sundown assailed him so he dismouhted and sat on g rocky point to enjoy the show Colors were bursting from the horizon in terrific if silent eXplo- sion. Just south of west he could glimpse Rainbow Canyon in milky blue haze, and Miracle Peak to the north now was a great pyramid o1 brass and crimson Yves felt exalted
 Suddenly, though, the stiffness was broken by a sound of hoofs. He turned to look.
 why - it's Lona!" he mur- mured. He expected her to see him anc come by. Then he noted that he had unconsciously come out the Rainbow Canyon trail a ways be- fore turning off here to dismount and that Lona herself was riding down that trail as if with definite purpose. She did not look toware him. His own horse lifted his ear. and head as if to whinny, and We: quickly grabbed it's nose.
 Whoa, boy, ho-o-o-o-o," he sooth- ed the animal.
 In five minutes Lona was ou of sight, winding among cacti ant mesquite and yucca growths, ove1 and around ground rises, ane Wesley York was staring after her with a quizzical frown. "She had pack and pistol and can teen," he told himself. Hers will be more than short ride. IT wonder"
 All at once he mounted his owr horse and swung down the trail tc follow her. The thought of shad- owing Lona Montoya or anybody else was somewhat distasteful, but Wesley consoled himself with reasoning that he was faculty member with responsibilities, and that certain other definite suspi- cions were strong enough to jus tify his actions now.
 He rode carefully to keep. just out of sight, pausing often to lis- ten and to walk ahead for brief reconnaissance. He wished that he had brought his own pack and canteen, but he had not antici- pated a long desert ride. One thing on his siddle was the lariat rope which always stayed tied there.
 In a short time the suns great display had ended, and twilight moved quickly into night. Wes- ley welcomed the darkness. It would keep him unrevealed from Lona. Knowing that she would push right along, he kept his own horse walking fast, or sometimes in a slow gallop, and when he had neared the sloping terrain that led down into Rainbow Canyon it. self, he stopped and dismounted Safer now, he reasoned to proceed afoot, especially since he wasn't at all sure what he would do if he did see Lona enter the Canyon cave again.
 He was tying his horse in some brush and carefully noting the immediate landmarks in order to find it again, when the animal lifted its ears and head as it had done once before this evening Now, though, the beast looked back up trail, toward home.
 "What is it, fellow?" Wes whis- pered.
 The horse gave no further sign Just listened. But that was enough;

Statue on U. s. Capitol is Symbol of Defense

AS U. S. speeds its defense pro-
 gram, the statue which crowns the dome of the nations Capitol at Washington takes on greater significance. For the statue is that of Freedom, armed with hel- met, shield and sheathed sword. Not so well known, perhaps, as the Statue of Liberty, this figure is a symbol of a liberty that must be defended.
 The head of the statue was used for the design of the U. S. $5 stamp above, the only bi-color stamp of the 1922-23 postage se- ries. The star-studded helmet bears a crest of eagles beak and plumes.
 The bronze statue is 1912 feet high, weighs 15,000 pounds. It was set in place, 3071s feet above the esplanade, Dec. 2, 1863.
 Freedom" is the work of Thomas Crawford, an American artist. The original model is in the Smithsonian Institution.

Wes knew from years of experience that horses nose and ears are keen, dependable. Somebody else, was coming, surely; a third rider was on the Rainbow Canyon trail and Yves reasoned that it would be either of two men, one stranger and one known to him.
 Wishing that he had brought his pistol at least, Wes nevertheless de- cided to take action without it. Quietly he unslung his lariat rope petted his horse to soothe it, and walked 50 yards or so. When he caught a glimpse of the approach ing rider, he crouched out of sight His heart was beating rapidly and he had to force down a cer- tain urge to get panicky.
 This is no child's play" he re- minded himself. Whoever the man is meting Lona, he would kill me as sure as sin. And yet by heaven I shall do this thing!"
 Even before he caught a closer glimpse of the riders silhouette Yves felt sure he knew who it was He was bumped over in a rock shadow, waiting. It would take good aim to throw a lariat loop accurately in the starlight, but then the mans bulk should be visible against the sky, and West knew something of roping. Roping Ss fundamental to a man ranch rear- ed.
 He allowed the rider to pass horse walking fast. Then-sws-s-s sws-s-s-s-s, sws-s-s S - three rapid twirls of the loop and = throw!
 He saw his loop dart cut ano settle with perfect aim around the riders shoulders. Then Wes dug in his heels for the jerk he knew was coming.
