From time to time some one digs
up new worry about the gold this
country has in it's treasury vault
What, the newest fear is, would we
do with it, if the other nations would
declare something else as the foun-

it do us then? AS far back as his

gold. He will probably continue tt
be eager and greedy for it as lone
as there is any of it on earth.

Ninety percent of argument is a
useless waste of time. The fellow who
persists in arguing is not searching
for the truth. He is trying to put
across his own idea. He doesn't
want it changed. The quickest way
to settle such an argument is to
agree with the arguer. BY doing so
he is completely disarmed.

 Hand-in-hand with ahe rever- sion to primitive economics is a cultural revolution. The native language journal, Te Yea Maohi. continually urges. a return to the simple life. Even before the war the French government fostered this movement, forbidding white men to land on certain un spoiled" islands.
 Two Cash Crops
 The future of Tahiti is bound up with its two cash crops-copla and vanilla.
 In the years following the 19l r. Is war these brought high prices, and the many natives who had served in the French army used this income for automobiles, ra- dios, cigarettes, etc.
 Now tariff walls keep copTa and vanilla out of the United States, and the war has cut off the pa ternalistic French market. The Tahitian now can look forward to little but the existence of his an- ocst0s.

PAPEETE Tahiti-The war of 19l4-l8 changed the South Sea islands from a Polynesian to a European pattern of life. The pres ent war bids fair to restore them to their primitive state,
 The American colony in Tahiti is thinning out rapidly. One party chartered special ship to take it to Honolulu British and French families returned to their home lands in large numbers when their sons entered military service.
 As an American would put it, they're giving the country back to the Indians"
 Books Brought Them
 The whites who settled here long ago because they loved the natural charm and quiet tempo of the island do not regret the de- parture of the post war ''eS- capees," This hard drinking class was attracted largely by sensa- tional books
 The new arrivals had money, and the whole west coast from Papeete to Taravao became a city of bungalows. Now that ocean com- merce is irregular-censorship for bids any enlargement on this point the white colony finds it's for eign food and liquor supply cut off, and the expatriates are going home.

 NEW YORK. Jan. l7.--A day in the life of New Yorker at large.
 Walked at noon and so had break fast, and then to the office and there found notes from Ferde Grofe, Pen Grauer, and w. Somerset Vaughan. And Vaughan had made most interesting mistake in sign ing a copy of his book, The Sum- ming Up" for me, for he had written the wrong name on the flyleaf and then under it penned. T am so sorry to have written the wrong name. when it is really for George Tucker that I gladly sign this book" Which made it even more interesting than if he had given it the plain signature.
 So from the office to 673 Fifth Avenue which is the headquar- ters in NY for the Canadian Ma tional Railways Co. and with my friend L. E. Brooks to projec- tion room on the second floor where we looked with fascination at many wild life films some m color. all in sound, of fishing ex- cursions into the Canadian Wilds, and goose shooting in Nova Scotia, and pack trains crossing the Great Divide And seeing them l re- solved to go to Canada some day and catch some of those pike my self if the chance ever comes.
 Later to a gallery in E. 57th Street where a wide assortment of watercolors and sketches by Mil ton Caniff, an eX-Dayton, Ohio, boy and an old Columbus Dispatch colleague of mine. were on view, and much taken with the study of young lad with tousled hair slouched in chair Much i'm pressed, too, with the throng that came to see, and with Milton also. who-though usually the calmest of felloWs-was plainly fused. And so made a note to chide him about it some day.
 Back to the office where Har rlson Wood called me and we to dinner at the New Yorker and saw the new ice show, and talked also with Woody Herman, the or chestra leader, who joined us at our table and bade his boys play some special blues numbers for us
 Later to the theater and a dis appointing play and Joan CraW- ford and Miriam Hopkins there, though not together, and I left Tt the second act.

 The District of Columbia is gov- erned by Congress. In both House and Senate there are District Com mittees, which are supposed to recommend legislation for better ment of the capital. Then there are the city's three commissioners. By law, one of these has to be an army engineer. The other two are Presidential appointees. At the mo- ment, they are two former capital newspapermen.

 CONTINUING
 THEIR HUNT
Whereabouts of 2 Planes with.Werneeke, Gropstis
 Bedding Is Mystery

No word regarding the missing Alaska fliers has been received early this forenoon put as the weather cleared over the area where the two planes are known to be down. it is believed some favor able reports will be forthcoming. A brief dispatch to the Empire from KetchikRn Chronicle said searchers arc continuing to hunt for Livingstone Werneckc and his pilot Charles Gropstis, missing between Alert Bay. B C., and Hyder, Alaska, and also for Bud Bodding. missing between Alert Bay and Ketchikan. Early this morning the only re- port received in Kelchikan from the coast guard cutter Cyane was that all inlets and epves are being searched for the missing Hers.
 A brief report from Prince Rupert says the Canadian Royal Air Force planes are continuing the search. ~ No report hes been received from ] the searchlpg party sent oat from Hyder under authority of Gov. Ernest Gruening.
 Wernecke and Gropstis left Hy- der last Tuesday morning for Alert Bay to gas up. They have not been reported since then.
 Bud Bedding, flying Waco plane north from Seattle for Tony Schwamm of Petersburg, radioed the Ketchikan Customs Office last Tuesday from Alert Bay that he was ready to leave there and should reach Ketchikan during Tuesday afternoon. No report has been received from him since then.
 Aviators both in Juneau and Ketchikan, believe the two planes are safe In some sheltered cove or at one of the many canneries on the inside passage north of Alert Bay The reason they have sent out no word is regarded as nothing ser- ious because of the possibility of being static bound". It Is also said the canneries may not be op- erating their radios at present.
 Weather Since last Tuesday, on the route of the fliers, has been rainy, foggy and most inclement.
 Today, weather reports. say the weather is clearing and visibility Is excellent which gives more hopes the fliers will be sighted At soma oannery or in some sheltered cove.

It has been said, and there is lot of evidence to bear it out, that it is the worst governed city in the world. And who's responsible?
