If pro ho nt pliins proceed, the money will bo hold In Buspen Hlon by tho treasury department and congress will ho asked to re turn the money to Finland for uso In the fight with Russia. That would bo America's way of expressing appreciation' to a coun try that doesn't welch on Its ob ligations, ami,, the, QuUeU , States would have tho whole world It now It.

'V!' t ' Whnt may happou to wur debts If present hostilities continue for long Is something no one likes to think about just now. The expen sive game of war isn't played with buttons; and, if debLor nations happen to find a few forgotten shillings lu tho pig bunk, tho money will go for muchtnu gunB and such not to settle old ac counts. Even during the peaceful years that lay botwuon iho two wars, debtors wore not ovor .oul ouk about rouiiUlng.,; 1 , .y Take a look at llio rocord: To I tal debts Incurred In tho United Slutes by tho nllleH during and Im mediately after the war wcro $10, 350,000,000. Tho original Interest was 5 per cont. It wuh later cut to -11 per cent, and finally tho en tiro debt structure was roaming ed to fix hi U) rent on the ability of earh nut Ion to pity, Thus (J rout Ilrltatn's Interest today Is set at 3.3 per cent while Italy's Is only .4 por cent. . , So far, all the nations' have p;ill only $2,500,000,000, mo;:t or which went Tor Interest. Because of de faults und Inleresl, tho total debt has mounted to $14,500,000,0110. Had the debtor natlnuH continued to make prompt semiannual pay ments under the funding agree ments, reached between i 113 and 1U28, they would have paid (lie United Slates a total of $22,259. 000,1)00 by litHH. the year In which all countries would have made their final payments. The war debt jiroblem has pro vided political amumultlou for all sides since the Ink was still moist on the Versailles treaty. Attempt ing to get payments from Europe just now would be about as suc cessful as stepping Into a riot to ask one of the participants lor the quarter ho borrowed last week. Kuropo Is Interested these days only In contracting now debts not paying old onus. And about, all the United Slates can do Is to keep sending dunning notes to tho de faulter us brusque reminders that you can't fool all of the people ull of the time. If the world were a groat cor poration, we might take it Into re ceivership and try running It our way until Its uf faint were straight ened. Hut ' Is nothing of the kind, and the new debts that probation! hostilities would produce might ho complicate Inlet national relation ships (hat even tho United States would be forced tu throw up Its hands helplessly m lt stutu of complete confusion.

Boettiger Swats N. L R. B. Rulings Son-in-Law of Roosevelt Says He Doesn't Blame Firms For Making Complaints. WASHINGTON, Dec. 12. (AP) A memorandum was placed in ' the record, of the house labor board committee today which quoted John Boettiger, President Hoose velt's son-in-law,, as saying he "did n't blame employers for complain ing" against NLHB's administra tion of the AVagner act. I The memorandum was from El wyn J. Eagen, labor board regional director at Seattle, to Nathan Witt, board secretary, and reported on a conversation Eagen said he had with Boettiger. The conversation allegedly con corned a case in which William Randolph Hearst's Seattle newspa per and the American Newspaper Guild were Involved. Boettiger is publisher of the Hearst newspaper In Seattle. , No Kick To President "Boettiger stated," Eagen wrote, "that he was very sympathetic with the act, but that when It was administered hy a board which made the kind of decision it made in this case, that he didn't blame employers for complaining about the board. "He stated very definitely that he did' not Intend to take the mat lor up with the president, that he never, used his family connections to accomplish uny thing in which he might be personally interested. "He Indicated that he did not Intend to publicize his feelings ot to make them known generally. He asked me not to do so, but inferred j that he thoight 1 would com mil nt Icate the substance of his couver j nation to the board." j "Unfairness" Charged I In recounting the Seattle case Eugen asserted that after a settle ment had been completed "Boetti ger leaned back in his "chair and stated ho had something tu say to mho as a representative of the board, that what he had to say ,was In no aonao a reflection upon me personally, but as 1 was the lonly one available representing I the board, he would speak his piece lo me." j "He stated to 'mo," said Eagen, "that he thought the board's order was based upon a distortion of the facts produced at the hearings and .(upon) illogical inferences that he personally resented the decision very much and was only comply ing so as not to embarrass the I administration and to avoid pro 'longing the controversy. , , ) "He also stated that he did not !want to do anything which would 1 jeopardize the very fine relat ions whieh he had with the Newspaper .guild. "lie made some very extensive remarks about the trial ex u miner's I unfairness and tho fact that, the board would not consider the com- iinnv'ft ni-nfest in rne-nril tn tho I trial examiner, who, he was later informed, bnu (men ; discharged for unfalrne:' :- ... ' Eagen said he "tried to con vince" Boettiger tho board made its decision "in a fair manner on 'what appeared to be the facts from the record." c The regional director added ho ' also atti-mnted to persuade the publisher that "there certainly, was tio Intention on the part of the board to penalize him because he happened to be the son-in-law ot" jthe president, as ho had inferred ,in his conversation."

EDWARDS The story of the prodigal son is so familiar that it seems too trite to quote, yet it Is spiritu ally indlspenslble. A sou began to be a prodigal. How did he get his start? By giving the prodigal password. Give me, he said, give me. That is just the right language with which to start the wrong life. He was all for adventure, and an adventure that would work to his own ad vantage. He wanted his sub stance and he spent it in riot ous living. It was only when he stopped saying. Give me, that he began to arrive at his soul. When he came to himself, he gave, not the prodigal, but a penitent password. "Father, make me as one of thy hired servants." Having first made the wrong demand upon life, he had now the wrong idea of his father. Such a father as he had never could have made him a hired-servant. What the father wanted was to make him his real son once more. Thus we see God's great love. Amen. like to admit an error. Tho only phase of the German method that looks good to Ameri can husbands is that limit of six pairs of stockings per year for every woman. A truck dropped off a highway onto a front porch, thereby sur prising the family who thought it was grandpa. Heller clients in an Iowa city may not call for their rations in taclcahs hereafter.
