Here is a view in tbe park, showing visitors standing on a huge piece of lava which was hurled from the crater of of Mt. Lassen in 1915. Tbe volcano, now quiet, is seen In the background. BEVERLY HILLS. Well all I1 know li just what I read in the pa-pers. The beat bag just about knocked the fill news right out of everybody. Cali-fornia papers have had noth-ing in the world on every page and rn every col-umn, but the amount of peo-ple that were killed in other parts of the Country by the neat ah our deaths out here died from natu-ral causes, but the ones anywhere, else it was th heat. But I guess it has been pretty hot back where you folks live. I But Mr. Hoover pulled bis debt' cancelling right in the midst of It It wasent too hot for him to be, thinking of something besides a' cold drink. Now that may just be! a mighty fine idea. It has already jumped the market up, and every-body got pretty excited over it We are in such shape anyhow the last year and a halt that we will jump at almost anything that is offered in the way of a scheme. "We know that nothing can do us any worse and we figure It might help, so we are liable to Jump at things that after more quiet meditation we wouldent even monkey with. I dont see how it could hardly effect any-one so greatly but Germany, for they are the only one that is sav-ing anything. Germany owes. France, England, Belgium, and I reckon Italy, (I dont know what for, but I guess just on general principles.) Well then, in turn each ones takes what Germany pays them and pays it to us, so now the debt is cancelled for a year, that dont mean anything to England, France, Belgium, and maby Italy, for if Germany pays them nothing they pay us nothing. If Germany does pay them, they in turn turn around and pay us, so the money only passes through their hands anyhow. If it does pass they pay it out, and if It dont they dont, so whata the answer? We lose 245 million that the Al-lies owe us, and 15 million that Germany pays us direct for the charge of the army of occupation. They were to pay anyone that wanted to send in an Army to oc-cupy their Country after the war to remind them what an Allied Soldier looked like. Well thats makes us lose 2C0 million. These are the treat figures, (I just got them from "Time"). Thats where all the au-thentic news comes from. But we can afford to lose that much, for it takes more than that to do us any good, we are so fur In the red that 260 million wouldent even stabl-lalis- e our Liquor market. Now what about the old Boys here on the home grounds? Well maybe this thing will eventually reach him in some beneficial way. Lord knows what way but it may trickle down to him some day. Well the whole thing is beyond the understanding of us Dumb Birds anyhow, so just get back In your bread line and let it go. A week or so ago we had it In our papers that Capone was broke. Well it was just like saying Mellon and Ford had '. taken two cots Jn the county poor farm. Capone broke!!! We knew that de-pression had hit his Industry, but we had no Idea that it had had such far reach-ing effect. Tbe Government is sendine him ta Jail for illegally selling Liquor, and collecting a legal income tax on an illegal act. If they can do that why cant they make Robbers pay an in-come tax on what they received in loot. If you rob a Bank of 200 thou-sand, and they nab you, why cant they in addition to sending you to jail make yon 'pay an income tax on what you got away with? They got records of Capone for all these years. But they dident get any of the Liquor, that is pay-ing for it. I think that "Broke" gag is. another Racket He always did handle his money in cash all the time, bo that Old Bey bs.3 got dough piled in a lot of tils different and Brewery's. You knw what they tell you in Chicago? The men that know they Bay that when you get Capone Liquor from some supernumary of his, that ir you find any kick with it, that is too poor quality, he is more than glad to take it back and make it good. They say that he is mortr reliable In his methods than even the great Marshall ' Field store. He prides himself on a high class organiza-tion. Well it would be too bad if it stopped while he was In Jail, for a thing like that ought to be per-petuated. ' (S 1931. McNjuM Srodkatt, lac) News Review of Current Events the World Over Hoover Moratorium Plan, With French Modifica , tions, in Effect Great Britain Calls Conference to Work Out Details. By EDWARD W. PICKARD to the foreign office declaring be had been ordered by tils govern-ment to suspend diplomatic rela-tions between the two governments, The Paraguayan government re-plied with the announcement that It had ordered its minister to Bo-livia to return home. Don't ask what it's all about Peru has been having a little war of its own government versus revolutionists. The other day the rebels were defeated at Huarabntio and the city of Cuzco, their bead-quarter- s, was taken. The revolt-er- s thereupon fled to the jungle, and probably little more will be heard of them. MDTUAL by the United States and France, obtained by clever negotiation, result-ed in the accept-ance of the Hoover moratorium plan In principle by the French govern-ment.

Itut he made It plain that the board would abide by Its policy enuncluted July 1. which was thut It would feel free to sell up to a cumulative maximum of Ave million bushels a month for the next year. Mr. Curtis' activity In the contro-versy over the board's wheat hold tngs has been Interpreted as Indicat-ing a desire on his part to avoid for the vice residency and to run for the Kansas senator ship which ha formerly held. When asked about his political plans, he replied "They'll not get anything out of me for at least three months." Senator Watson of Indiana, Re-publican leader of the senate, also has been trying to influence the farm board, arguing for 02 rents, which Is said to be the average price paid by the stabilization cor-poration for its wheat, as the figure below which the honrd should not sell. Senator William K. Borah, In-surgent Republican of Idaho and chairman of the agricultural com-mittee named at the "progressive conference" last March, has Insisted that the board defer all sales until wheat goes to $1.25. DR. JOSEPH form-er I, United States senator from Mary-land, evidently was In deadly earnest when recently he announced thut he was a candidate for the Republican nomlnntlou for the Presidency In 11)32.

Rafael Gulzar Valencia, bishop of Vera Cruz, has Instructed all Catholics of the state to abstain from attending dances, theaters and other festivi-ties until the conflict Is ended. The bishop also has instructed his priests to keep their churches open, even if the state forbids services conducted by priests. JOSEF STALIN has made public policy of Soviet Russia in dealing with the borgeolsle and the kulaks or well-to-d- o farmers. These classes hitherto suppressed, persecuted and exiled, are now to be conciliated to an extent If they will consent to with and lubor for the Soviet regime. The rulers of Russia hnve discovered that the brains and skill of the old order are needed to meet the grow-ing demands of agricultural and Industrial development. As part of the new order . of things Stalin also presented a pro-gram entailing radical changes in the government's policy toward la-bor and Industry to Insure the suc-cess of the five-ye- plan. SECRETARY OF STATE a plensanter time on his European vacation than has fallen to the lot of Secretary of the Treasury Mellon. Starting too late to get mixed up In the moratorium negotiations. .Mr. Stlmson arrived at Naples Tuesday on the steamship Conle Grande, accompanied by Mrs. Stlmson. He wan met by Ambas-sador Garrett, and. following a visit to Pompeii and Heroulaneum. went to Horn by automobile. Thursday evening he called on Premier Mus-solini at the Palazzo Venezla and later met him at a dinner given by the American embassy. In Mr. Stlmson's honor the ruins of the ancient Roman Forum.

Briefly summarized, the agree-ment provides that debtor govern-ments shall be relieved of pay-ments due between July 1, 1031, and July 1, 11)32, aggregating ap-proximately 800 millions of dollars. Germany will be relieved of rep-arations payments to the former ; allied and associated governments totaling nearly 400 millions of dol-lars. Great Britain, France, Italy. Belgium and other debtors will be relieved of war debt payments ap-proximating 400 millions. The greatest sacrifice will be made by the United States, which will forego war debts receipts to-taling 2U) millions. Beginning July 1, 1933, the de-ferred reparations and war debt payments will te paid In Install-merit- s during a ten-yea- r period. In addition to the regular current payments. , Payment by Germany of condi-tional reparations totaling mil-lions will be unreservedly suspend cd. Germany will be required, how-ever, to pay the unconditional rep-arations, amounting to $130.000 000. with the understanding that this amount In full will be loaned back to Germany. A loan of about 25 millions will be mnde to Central Kuropenn coun-tries If necessary by the federnl reserve banks of the United Slates and European central banks. The accord reached was entirely satisfactory to both the Americans and the French. President Hoover gained his chief point, the gist of the whole plan, for Germany does not have to pay any international debts for one year. The French statesmen congratulate themselves because the accord calls for the moral support of the signatories In getting a private loan for France's central European friends, and lays upon Germany moral rosponslhll Ity for not using her moratorium suvlng for armaments. Foreign Secretary Julius Cur-tlus and Chancellor Bruenlng of started on his sum- - Dr. J. I. Francs mer campaign, and his many friends are helping to the extent of their powers. The doings began with a public meeting at Mount Ararat farms, the doctor's country estate In Cecil county. Maryland. Very soon. It Is expected, he will make a tonr through the grain states of the West Assisting France in getting his campaign under way are Jonathan Bourne, former senator .from Ore-gon and head of the Republican publicity bureau during the Wilson administration, and . Lyle Rader, who Is described as "a prominent New York chemist and Bible speak-er." Doctor France says that on his trip In the West he will give his reasons for seeking the Presidential nomination and will discuss "the grave world crisis and Its remedy through the application of the prin-ciple of righteousness to economic, social and International problems."

In the tournament on the uermany, or course, are pleased beyond expression, and the former paid warm tribute to tbe work ao-- compllshed to Purls by Secretary Mellon. The German press, how-ever, professes to be disgusted with the compromise, several influ-ential papers declaring that It wrecks the plan entirely. The "Young German order," which for merly worked enthusiastically for a Franco-Germa- n rapprochement, recently issued an order to its fol-lowers to withdraw from all Franco-Germa- n associations and to recall their children whom they sent to France for vacations, "te-caus- e France has showed a mer cenary spirit and unwillingness to for a return of sane con-ditions throughout the world." In concluding his announcement of the agreement, President Hoover touched on the question of world BEFORE the convention of the Lakes-Hudso- Water ways association In Albany. N. Y., Senator Copeland and Uepresenta tlve Hamilton Fish of the Empire state and various other attacked the proposed St. Lawrence ship ca nal and urged that congress begin as soon as possible the construction of waterways from the Great Lakes to the Atlantic seaboard by way of the Mohawk valley and the Hudson, as a means to relieve unemployment. It was declared by the speakers that the St. Lawrence canal was considered only because the farm-ers of the Middle West wanted it for an outlet for their surplus grain, and Mr. Fish said the Rus-sian wheat situation "now makes the building of a ship canal through Canada a fantastic myth." Inverness course Billy Burke Bt Toedo. Burke and George von Elm of Detroit tied for first place with cards of 292. Next day they undertook to play off the tie at 30 holes, and again tied. So on Mon-day the second play-of- f was staged and Burke won by a margin of one stroke, finishing the longest tour-ney In golf history. Burke had a total or 08 strokes ior me hi holes played In the five days of the battle, and Von Elm had 590. This was slightly over an aver age of four for each hole. Prize money going to the new champion amounted to $l,7.r0; and Von Elm won an even $1,000. The Detroit player abandoned the ranks of amateurism not long ago, announcing that be intended to make a business of golf.- - He Is not doing so badly at It, for he stands well up among the money winners it Is I THOUGH In ' Rome that ' Pope Plus and Premier t Mussolini have both decided to avoid any preclpl- - t tate action In their controversy, they continue to ham- - mer at each other r with encyclicals s, and newspaper ar-- t uisarmameni, wmcn ne considers the second feature of bis program for restoring ecouomlc prosperity. OAVING ably seconded Mr. Boo-- ver's effort to bring about the moratorium, the British govern ment called a conference of the powers to work out the details of the plan. The permlers and for elgn ministers are to meet in Lon-don, and it Is expected Secretary Stlmson will participate as an off-icial observer when be reaches Eng-land. This conference will meet from time to time for several months. It Is understood, and may continue to function for several years-- Be-fore this body, toward the end of the one year Hoover moratorium, will come the question of the ca-pacity of Germany to continue pay ing the Yout plan reparations, the question of extending the Hoover debt holiday another year, and the question of revising reparations and war debts downward.

The pope's latest encyclical dealt severely with the Fascist position on the education of youth, and was characterized by the Italian press as a return to the medieval concep-tions about the respective' authority of the church and state. Copies of the document were not only distrib-uted In the churches of Rome, but also' were sent out of the country by special couriers which action drew Fascist ridicule.
