CHAPTER VII

Karen looked at him steadily a
moment.
"There isn't any reason why I
should answer that" she said at
last. "But will. I have no inten-
ton of marrying John Colt. What I
mean is that I believe / have a sound
claim, and / am perfectly willing
that the court should decide it. If
your uncle had lived"
She stopped, and a silence fell
between them, so that they noticed
again the voice of the ship, and the
rush and slap of the sea. Later,
Tonga Dick began talking to her
again, trying to tell her what his
uncle had been, as Dick saw him.
He was trying to make her see
man who had lived not for personal
conquest, but for dream. He was
trying to make her understand that
James Wayne had been a man who
did not know how to use anything,
for himself, beyond the bare neces-
sites; one who took less from life
than the salary Of Charles Wong
commanded. He showed her his
uncle breakfasting at $3.50 in the
morning, so that he could be at
work by a quarter Of four. He was
trying to make her see twenty years
of labor, in which James Wayne had
given every hour of his time, every
resource of his mind, to making
Alakoa what it had become.
She interrupted him, after while.
''Why do you tell me all this?"
'sI'm trying to make you see that
there Is something there that cannot
be measured in dollars and cents.

Honolulu seem a long-sought haven,
for her.
There's something I want to tell
you, Karen"
She waited, relaxed and impas-
sive except for that sense Of strain
behind her pale composure.
"I'm sorry I shanghaied you. /
didn't realize what was letting you
in for"
"I'm not exactly used to being
pushed about" Karen said.
"After ALL" he reminded her,
when you came aboard you be-
lieved me to be deceived even as to
your name. And though your visit
to Alakoa was against your will,
you yourself, and your friend, John
Colt, were partly responsible, I
think"
Karen was silent.
"But I'm not all sorry" Dick said.
''In spite Of everything, know you
better now; and that has been worth
while"
81 shouldn't have tried to fool you
about who / was" Karen said. In
spite of her concealed nervous ten
sion, she seemed very tired, so that
he could hardly hear her words.
"That was very silly mistake"
'"There have been other mis-
takes" Dick said.
She met his eyes for moment,
and he wondered If she was think
ing about a silent room, and bro
ken lei. He wanted to tell her that
there was no reason for her to think
about that; and that he believed in
her completely.
Dick said morosely, "You and I
ought to be able to talk to each other
more easily than we do"
''Do we have to 60 into all that?"
1--WE can work these things out"
Dick Wayne said. "You and I are
the only ones who can"
Karen Waterson stiffened and sat
back. 81 can only say this-if there
are to be any negotiations at all,
they will have to be carried on with
John Colt, not with me-"
"If the case came to trial as it
now stands" Dick Wayne said, ST

After that would follow appeal after
appeal, delay after delay; and even
if you won in the end you'd be a
white-haired old lady before your
victory ever paid out. The Waynes

give in"
i Neither" said Karen, looking at
him directly, ''do we intend to give
in"
"What you mean is that John Colt
won't give in"
"It's the same thing"

ly. SIS it, Karen? Are you in love

Text of Relief Message
President Urges Total Appropriation
Of$282,767 900 for Fiscal Year 1e43

of work relief is now possible with
out causing undue hardship, and I
recommend an appropriation of
$3.50 100000 to the Works Projects
Administration of the Federal
Works Agency for the fiscal year
1943. This amount, together with
an estimated balance of $4,000, 900
of the 1912 relief appropriation, will
permit an average monthly employ
ment of about 100000, including ad-
ministrative expenses of the Work
Projects Administration.
I recommend additional appro-
priations of $2,767, 900 to provide for
the administrative expenses of the
General Accounting Office and units
Of the Treasury Department for
services in connection with the re-
lief program, making a grand total
of $282, ,767, 900 for the fiscal year
1943.
For the period beyond the fiscal
year 1943 the provision of work and
other forms of aid for those who
cannot be absorbed in private en-
ployment must be considered as an
integral part of comprehensive
measures for social security and
public assistance.
am now giving attention to pro-
posals for revising and extending
the Social Security Act, and expect
to make recommendations to the
Congress for such legislation as may
be necessary to extend the protec-
ton of our social security measures
to provide alternative means of
meeting the needs presented by the
residual group now being aided by
the Work Projects Administration
The action to be taken by the
Congress in the near future on such
proposals will determine the extent
to which we can move toward the
further reduction or the possible
elimination of the Works Projects
Administration.
