NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENT EVENTS Senate Approves Tax Reduc- tion and French War V Debt Settlement y? t Y EDWARD W. PICKARD the tax cut bill passed by bouse and senate and the jAellon-Berengagreement for the funding of the French debt ratified by the upper bouse, congress quit work on Saturday and went home to celebrate Christmas and New Year's. Fourteen senutors, most of them leased as radicals, voted against the ,ax reduction measure but 63 were wcorded in Its favor, and It was promptly signed by President Hoover. (The act, whose terms are already quite generally known, remains in effect only one year, but It is presumed that congress a year hence will profile fur another reduction if tux rev- tuues continue at the present high i level, t, ,, The vote on the ratification of the debt settlement was 52 to 21. 4 French r Senator Ilowell of Nebraska, Repub- Jiean, led the opposition on behalf of the radical group, which consistently fights about everything the adnilnls- ration seeks to accomplish. Howell ' contended that the effect of the settle-- . pent was to cancel the entire principal of the debt. His theory was 4hat the payments over a period of 62 years represent merely Interest at m rate of 2.17 per cent. '., The French Indebtedness, which was i funded at a total of $4, 025,000, 000, not only was one of the largest of any of the debts but is the last to be dls-- i posed of except those of Russia and Armenia, which are at present listed in the hopeless class. The principal 'tod accrued Interest at the time of e funding of the debts totaled , . $11,500,000,000. Unless the entire debt question is pened at some future time the troversy is now officially closed. Is an impression that if the rican public debt continues to be at lta present rate and is isled out within the next 17 or 18 years an agitation will immediately develop for a cancellation of all foreign dehts which remain outstanding at that time. en- PROSPECTS for the naval limitation in London in January are no quite so rosy as they were. In the first place the Japanese delegates, who have been entertained In Washington on their way to England revealed that their program differs sharply from that of the United Btates In the matters of cruisers and submarines. The Japanese are still asking a 16-- 7 ratio for all auxiliary craft, including the big guu cruisers, though It is hoped they will modify their demands slightly in order to gain their point concerning submarines. They wish to retain 7S.000 tons of underwater craft now in their fleet or under construction. As the United States is anxious to sharply reduce her submarine tonnage and there are some indications the cruiser demands by 'Japan may be modified, the proposal now fur-th- e chief obstacle to an accord In the light of the adverse decision of the Supreme court of last January, which held that there is no legal basis for diversion of water beyond tiie compurativt ly small amount necessary N.r navigation in the Chicago river, the Hughes report was regaided as being about as favorable to Clilc ago poration luto a general disarmament program. Foreign Minister Brland explained to the commissions that France had accepted the theory of limitation od the basis of global tonnage instead of categories; that she demanded the right to devote as high a percentage of her global allotment as she wishes to submarines, and that she Insists that each power tell the others Just what types of vessels it Is using in its tonnage. Premier Tardieu and his delegation, it is believed, will demand a full 800, U00 tons for the trench fleet, which figure is thought too high by both Great Britain and Italy. There is reason to believe, however, tliut France and Italy have made progiess iu reconciling ttieir us could have been expected, Mr. Hughes made it dear that it ls within tiie power of congress to provide for a greater diversion tor navigation purposes It uppeared evident that if congress approves the Illinois state waterway as a federal project the way will be opened for a sufficient diversion of water to maintain navigation In a nine foot channel from Chicago to tiie Mississippi. correspondent of the London Telegraph says the American delegates have prepared a series of churts, graphs und data that actually demonstrate that the British navy nut only is not superior in strength to the American, but Is really greatly inunderferior. Tlie correspondent stands that these revelations have deeply impressed the members of President Hoover's cubinet und other American statesmen who previously had accepted the view, carefully fostered by propaganda, that the American navy is below the treaty strength and badly outclassed by tiie British navy. It Is au Ironical circumstance thut tills disclosure should have emerged from the work of American naval officers who were, of course, anxious to make out the case for a larger ship building program.

More fortunate were Maj. Tadeo Larre-Bors of Uruguay and Lieut. Leon Clialle of France, though they, too, failed in accomplishing what they set out to do. They took off from Seville, Spain, hoping to fly without stop to Montevideo, but, having crossed tiie ocean safely, they lost their bearings in tiie dark and made a forced landing in a Brazilian forest. Their plane was smashed and both men were injured slightly. the worst mine disasters of the year occurred at McAlester, Okla.

Dorothy Crandell was not in the habit of paying particular attention to ragged urchins. Born In the lap of luxury, she had never taken any interest in those who have to wrest an existence from life. Now she was shaken out of her usual selfishness, and frightened, too, hy the thought that she might have killed the boy. And, too. the manliness of the little fellow, coupled with his solicitude for his mother, touched her strangely.
