In Retrospect-in 1860
{Senior Snapshotsl

As | looked through an old snap
shot album came across a picture
Of Bob SWitzer taken way back
IN 40 when Bob was president of
that illustrious senior class I've
leen hearing a great many things
about Bob SWitzer lately. II seems
that the same qualities-efficiency,
dependability and initiative COM
bined with his genial personality,
that made Bob such a fine senior
president, have brought him success
in everything he has attempted to
do
When | saw that picture Of Bob
taken out on the steps of the West
entrance of old Libby High, | re
membered how actively Bob always
participated in all school activities
He was on the team that won the
/ Northwest Championship back ir
40. Remember how for IA consecu-
tive years afterwards the Libby Ter
riers fought their way to Champion
ship honors through the sheer force
of the reputation established by the
team of '402
OF course all of Bob's energies
were not directed toward athletics.
] One of the strong bass voices in
Glee Club and Chorus was Bob's
and he also participated in dra-
mates during his four years in
high school.
As senior president he was re-
sponsible for a large part of the
success of the Program Committee,
I a policy of entertainment that was
established under his leadership.
! He assumed the responsibility of
business manager on the Annual
Staff and did a fine job of collect
Il ing the payments and handling the
1 finances.
! So far the things | have recalled
about this dark haired senior boy
have been mostly serious business
like qualities but the Bob Switzer
knew back in 1910 was also fun
loving, mischievous youngster and
one of the best dancers at Libby
High. Having spent such a pleas
ant halfhour recalling the days way
back when | was in high school,
decided to look further through my
snap shot albums and I'll tell you
more about the members of this
prominent class next week.

State Department
Awaits Full Text Of
Cromwell Speech
Recall Of Minister
Demanded by Tinkhom
In Letter to Hull

With the usually placid State De-
partment rejecting a certain i'm
patience to see full text of its Min
ister's remarks. the furor over the
pro-ally speech of James H. r.
Cromwell, millionaire Minister to
Canada, was in a state of suspended
tempers today.
Visiting in New Jersey, Mr.. Crom-
well and his wife, the former Doris
Duke, were making no comment, but
numerous legislators were both talk
ing and thinking about the propriety
of an address in which a diplomatic
representative undertook to pick
sides in Europe's war. Secretary of
State Hull himself disclosed that
the department had taken the un-
usual step of requesting speedy
transmission of copies OF the address
rather than awaiting arrival in
routine channels.
Recall of Mr.. Cromwell was de-
manded today by Representative
Tinkham, Republican, of Massachu-
sets, who said in letter to Secre-
tary Hull that Mr. Cromwell had
violated President Roosevelts neu-
trality proclamation by his recent
speeches.
Two Speeches Cited.
Mr.. Cromwell has made two Of
fensive and disloyal speeches in
Canada recently" said Mr.. Tink-
ham, a member of the House For
eign Affairs Committee. "The

and Kermit Roosevelt, so that he
may carry on for the empire.

tell Cromwell and his lawfully
welded fortune, Doris Duke, to get
the hell out of this republic"

Belgium Reported
Shipping Coal
To Italy
Germon Fuel Expected
To Make Up Deficit
In Own Supplies
BY M. w. FODOR.

Chicaso Daily News Foreign CORRESPONDENT.
BRUSSELS, March 21.-A possible
three-nation economic coup, where
by Belgium will share its own
meager coal production with Italy
and recover equivalent tonnages
from Germany by river barge, may
solve the crisis created by allied
stoppage of Germany's coal ship
ments to it's axis partner via Dutch
and Belgian ports.
Belgian newspapers report that
the Italian steamer Confldenza is
being loaded with 5000 tons of
Belgian coal at Antwerp, first in
series of cargoes which are expected
to aggregate 100000 tons a year.
What the allied reaction will be is
not predictable at the moment,
although Belgium, as neutral, is
within its rights.
Antwerp Leaders Jobs Saved.
Cessation OF German coal exports
to Italy via the lowlands has already
thrown out of work 1900 dock
workers in Rotterdam. However,
Antwerp leaders, similarly affected
but to lesser degree because the
Dutch port had claimed the bulk
of coal transshlpments, are now as
sured of employment by the new
scheme which involves movement of
Ruhr coal by barge through the
Scheldt River.
This development comes co-inci-
dentally with Tuesday nights agree
ment between Belgium's coal op-
orators and miners, which increases
both wages and prices and promises
to step up production for possible
expectation. Mine wages are raised
by az per cent, retroactive from
March 10, and consumers will pay
2 francs Is centimes per metric ton
of coal
However greater the output, it
will, of course, not make up for any
large exports of coal to keep both
Belgian and Luxembourg industries
sufficiently supplied with coal and
coke. To fill that gap, therefore, 1t
may be expected that the Reich will
arrange to replace the 100000 tons
of coal that Belgium, according to
indications, would ship to Italy an
nually.
Germany Displeased.
Belgium is not led by sentimental
considerations in this arrangement,
for Germany is still displeased with
Belgium's acceptance of a French
order for $500 railway cars ana
trucks. Germany had wanted some
of these conveyances for itself, but
its agents were disappointed A big
factor is that France supplies ap-
proXimately l30,088 tons of iron and
steel required to manufacture these
trucks, while Germany, unable to
spare steel beams or joints for rail-
way cars, could not press its demand.
When the British first interfered
with Italian colliers loaded with
German coal, Nazis boasted that
they would be able to send 100000
tons to Italy by rail via the Brenner
Pass. Obviously, this could not be
realized.

the American people to enter the
present war in Europe and were
seditious utterances.
"They were the speeches of an
alien propagandist and not of a
loyal American representative"
If Mr.. Cromwell was not recalled
at once, Mr.. Tinkham said, Congress
should seriously consider his i'm
peachment."
Secretary Hull was advised Of
Representative Tinkham's remarks
at his press conference and said only
that he believed ne and Mr.. Tink-
ham understood each other. He said
he had not yet received Mr.. Tink-
hams letter.
Varied Comment.

varied, but strong. Introducing a

mittee would be directed to recon-
mend the recall Of Mr.. Cromwell, if

Representative Barry, Democrat,
of New York called Mr.. Cromwell
a "garrulous young man" and said
his "chief, If not sole, qualification
for the position he holds is his
ability to contribute to the financial
support of political party" Repre-
