Hungary and KstlumlH the nntlnns that have defaulted; and this, too. It Is understood, met with the approval of Mr. Itoosevelt who will be President when the negotiations are under way. However there were Indications In Washington that Mr. Roosevelt will have arranged separate conferences with the defaulters. England Is especially Interested in having France Included In such arrangements as ma. be made, believing a final settlement of debt and economic subjects cannot well be reached unless France is taken into account. Representative Ralney of Illinois. Democratic floor leader In the house, seemed to be roused by the news. "The conferences won't amount to anything. In my opinion.' Ralney said, "because the American people are not going to stand for a reduction in the debts. "The debt conferences should be linked with rhe world economic con ference. The thing to do Is to bring about a removal of international trade barriers so that trade can be revived. The conferences already projected hole only a possibility of opening up trade routes and giving the debtors a chance to pay." England accepted the Invitation, and her stand on the war debt question was stated plainly by Oinnrel lor Neville Chamberlain In an ad dress before the Leeds Chamber of Commerce. Briefly, the British gov eminent will ask either cancellation or reduction so drastic that It will almost amount to the same tiling. If this cannot be obtained, said Chamberlain, the settlement reached must be final and must not Involve resumption of the German reparations. "To disturb the Lausanne agreement." he said, "would be to reopen old wounds and to destroy for an Indefinite period all prospect of agreement on matters affecting the happiness and prosperity not merely of Europe but of the whole world." Undertaking to explain the matter to "the farmer of the Middle West," the chancellor said that if the war debts pnyments were to be resumed they could not be made h loans or by further shipments of "Effective nieai.j of paygold. ing." he continued, "would hnve to be found and they could only be found by Increasing sales of foreign goods to America or. what would come to the same thtng. by dimin ishlng purchases from America." effort was put forth during debate on the Glass banking bill In the sen ate. Wheeler of Montana, Inde offered an Democrat, pendent amendment providing for the free coinage of silver at the ratio of six teen to one the old formula of William Jenn ngs Bryan and Huey Long of Louisiana proposed another amendment authorizing the govern ment purchase of sliver and sta blltzntloo at approximately 14.38 to 1. After violent discussion both these schemes were defeated by a vote of r0 to 18 in each case. During the debate Senator Tom Connally of Texas tier en sod the perplexity of the senate by announcing he was preparing a measure to debase the gold content of the doland perhaps, if It lar by were constitutional, to forbid Individuals making contracts calling for payment In dollars of current weight and fineness. Both Senntor Glass and Senator Fess argued strongly ygainst all the Inflation proposals, as did Reed of Pennsylvania. After being badly mangled by amendments the Glass banking bill was passed by the senate. Its fate In the bouse is problematical. 1 one-thir- re- the citizen's camps as an economy move was rejected by the bouse, wblcb added $2.500,ouo to the War department appropriation bill to Insure their continuance.

The measure makes available the sum named of the unused balance of $:U(UXJUMK) of R. F. C. funds allocated to atri culture. The loans will he made for planting, fallowing and cultivation, and the secretary of agriculture is empowered to exact from borrowers agreements to reduce acreage not to exceed SO per cent. One million dollars is allocated for feed for farm live stock in drought nnd storm stricken areas. Farm bloc members of congress defended the bill, asserting there would be widespread suffering on the farms unless such loans were authorized. Many members, now ever, attacked it as paternalistic, socialistic and bound to Increase farm product surpluses. Snell of New York, minority leader, declared It was utterly inconsistent with the pending domestic allotment measure, the purpose of which is to in crease farm product prices and decrease acreage The senate agriculture committee began hearings on the domestic allotment bill Wednesday, hoping they would be completed in a week or so. The same arguments for and against If that were heard in the house were repeated.

Along banking and financial lines he Is just about the most able man In either party in Washington. When tbey get all through arguelng over "Who is the Father of the Federal Reserve Act" why they will really find the sire to be none other than Carter Glass. Now eveldentally he bad a very sound banking bill. Certainly knows what one should be. Then right in the midst ot it to hear somebody crashing right through the Louisiana cane breaks with an arm load of adjectives that It would take a good strong voiced man a month to dispose of. Why naturally that was dumbfounding to the sensibilities of a man of the Carter Glass type. Well poor Mr Hoover, they passed the Phllliplne freedom over his head. He sends suggestions up to the law makers (no doubt some of them splendid) but they dont pay any more attention to It than tbey do an add over the radio. Its a very humiliating position for a fine man like a President of our IT. S. to be In. Here he Is President but he "Alnt." Roosevelt is President but he cant yet. Which brings me rig) back to my pet belief, and that is that I'll bet you If Mr Hoover had it to do over again be would have resigned after election and dumped the thing right into the hands the people voted to handle it It would have been a grand exit. He would have gone out with more sympathy, and incidentally put the Democrats in a hole. All they could have done was say, "Well we was going to save the Country but you brought it on us so quick that we haveut quite got our minds made up how to do it yet." You see if the President had done that, why naturally his example would have had to be followed by enough other lame ducks that this session would have been Democratic overwhelmingly. Then you wouldent bave to wait till after March fourth for a new session to be called, and then see what they will do. We would have known by now. I hear that Amon G. Carter, of Ft Worth Texas, owner of the biggest newspaper In the Southwest, will take Hurleys place in the Cabinet Carter, from all I can gather from the "Inside" will be the man that will draw that splendid cabinet plum. Amon will make em a mighty fine man. He is mighty well liked by all the Democrats, and fifty percent of the Republicans. (Well I will say a dozen anyway.) He would handle our army mighty well in peace, and put us on a mighty war basi3 if the occasion arose. So while all the other cabinet positions are more or less np in the air from what we can hear, why Its practically cinched that Carter will succeed Hurley, who by the way Is very good friend of his. Carter has practically retired from active management of his paper, but sometimes has it sent to New York or to Washington read. He Is by far Texas' most public spirited inau. So wltb Garner daily Inquiring as to the health of our President, and at the Carter head of our Military hordes, why Texas will have received more than her share of the spoils of the late political war. All his old friends in Texas (of which I almost consider myself a native of), we all hope this new1 honor will not make him break an old custom of years, and that was to always be in the Capitol, Austin on all Furgeson Innaugarations. This Carter cabinet news hasent been generally broadcasted, but those who know, say lt3 "In the bag." Well Its about time to write some thing about the debts again and gel everybody all stirred up. I like to throw em a little, piece of meat every once in awhila and just sit back and hear em growl. We got Americans that take the debts as serious as a postmaster did the las! election. I will write a little "Gag" in a Jay of two and stir em up again. "So long as there Is a man to work, but unable to willing find employment, the hours of labor are too long." The words quoted above are not those of a modern-da- y economist ; they come from the mind and lips of one who long ago had his finger on the pulse of American affairs. He came from the people and rose to high estate and esteem by mere force of character and indomitable will. He was more than learned. He held no degree from a great university; he discovered no new planets ; he flew no oceans; he amassed no colossal fortune. Yet he did, at a time when It required a degree of courage rare In history, stand firm for his convictions. Class meant little to him beyond a division set aside for ends. He was of, by and for the people. He had visions, yet was not viHis judgment may not sionary. have been infallible, yet it was based on logic and foresight. His work was arduous, yet he never turned aside. Hard labor was his portion In early life, his choice later. Of lowly origin, he rose to heights never dreamed of. Outwardly uncouth, perhaps, but polished as the finest steel beneath. Rough at times, perhaps, yet tender as a woman to those In distress, he who spoke the words quoted saw far Into the future nnd the thought came from the heart. He was the workers' friend. He Is so still. As long as the world exists, down through the ages will reverberate Abraham Lincoln's forceful words of consolation and to all who earn encouragement a livelihood by the sweat of the brow.
