The Debt Postponement I
THE effect of the word of President. Hoover recommend
ing a postponement of all payments on account of inter
governmental war debts and reparations was almost elec
trical. The security markets very twe to cgsin
sentiment induced by alterations m international affairs,
JriSuSa5W8 response to the president's suggestion.
The Berlin Bourse rallied in noteworthy manner. Ina short
session Saturday morning two billions were said to be added
to quoted values of securities traded on Wall Street. Thesj
advances may .not hold, and may not be due wholly to .the
effect of the president's words-markets have been heavily
oversold of late. But iticame as something of a tonic to
' S 1 and bleeding sentiment to, have a step endorsed
which seemed highly constructive m its character ,
The president! acted none too soon. Central Europ
! has been hanging on the edge of collapse either: into bolshey
ism. fascism, or bankruptcy. Austria left st "ed of tem,
tory by the peace treaty sought to get a breath of M
through a customs union with Germany. It was blocked by
France and England at the league j bf nations session. The
Credit Anstalt; the great Austrian bank, virtually faile
saved only by the Swift extension of aid from other nations
who feared the demoralization which might result if it had
i to be liquidated. I' I ! ' ! .JM yri i- . -J
Germany too has! been breaking under its strain of
reparations in years of! depressed business. New taxeswere
imnosed to try to raise the needed sums. Here are some of
ihTthlSgs Germany hs done; to keep its obligations under
the Young plan: Civil service employes with salaries under
$750 were cut 4 and on up to 8 cuts for J salaries over
$3000 Country and small cities' officials, who suffered a
wajre'eut of 6 in Febrary had another 1 taken off:
cabinet ministers pai ut 30. Railway employes; and
employes in semi-public enterprises also suffered reductions
in wages. This, as is well known, is on salaries already very
low comoarsd with our! own standards and with living costs
in Germany. Does to the jobless were cut 5 ; allowances
to disabled veterans 10;, grants to the unemployed ; were
denied to married women and those under 21, Then the last
'crisis tax" levies an additional hundred millions on the
people. Men earning Wages of $60 a month have to pay 1
of their wages toward ithis tax. .i ! , I. ' . . .
No wonder' Chancellor Bruening and Foreign Minister
Curtius conferred with Premier MacDonald and Foreign
Secretary Henderson at Chequers. No wonder they sought
early conference with Secretary Mellon on his .visit m Eng
land the past week. i When the true state of affairs was disT
closed to our president no wonder that he acted promptly
and decisively. 1 i f"--. , j- h
Yet we may expect this action of the president, taken
after conference with the nation's leaders of both parties,
and widely acclaimed in our own land as well as abroad, will
draw sharp darts of criticism from the "little Americans ,
the Hiram Johnsons and the Dills who seek to hold office by
' making the eagle scream and appealing to the narrowest
prejudices of the American people. : We do not think their
voices will be listened to, for the people are not insensible to
the situation abroad nor indifferent to our own responsibility
for the restoration of Europe. ' ! ii ." i
Pres. Hoover is correct in pointing an accusing finger
at the excessive cost of the military establishments which
have contributed much toward making Europe poor. This
is not so true of Germany whose ambitions of military
power, if she has them yet, are foiled by the provisions of
1 the treaty of Versailles. But France, Italy, England, Poland,
the succession states of central and southeastern Europe are
heavily taxed for support of armies or navies. Our own
military cost is far higher than before the war, but we have
i no foreign debt to pay. It is possible the president may
i make the 1932 conference on disarmament an occasion for a
J general overhauling of military budgets as well as one for
readjustment of the burdens? of the war indebtedness.; ; ,
With the need so pressing, and the solutions so obvious,
surely the leaders of nations will not be so stupid as to fail

False Claims to Virtue
EUGENE bases her apology for going after the veterans'
home the claim that "politics" should not be allowed to
interfere. The inference is that Roseburgs claim is based
" on its political pull, while Eugene's is based on pure virtue.
The Register-Guard says the men responsible to the veterans
should have a free hand in selecting the site. .
Do thev mean that? Not at all. The board once was
all loaded for Vancouver, Washington; and perhaps now if
political influence was withdrawn they would switch right
back to Vancouver, and where would Eugene be then?
Eugene is happy to have the political drag which gets the
assignment to Oresron: but then "tries to sail under false
virtue of superior advantages
the fields . . . - . , .
So far as using political pull is concerned Eugene has
. drawn all the cards in the deck. Eugene men confess hav
ing pulled with northern California; used Baker's Cleveland
newspaper influence, and every other Jeverage; they thought
would land the home. " '
The other towns of the district are not only professedly
for Roseburg, but staying out of the competition. If the
board should turn down Roseburg because of the petty whim
of some stiff-jointed general, then all the towns in the area
should be permitted to present their claims. Except Eugene
they have not done so, having better grace. 1 Albany, Cort
valus, Salem, Medford, Oregon City all have good "argu
ments on tneir side and if Eugene steps in and pulls the
plum out of Roseburgs mouth, the neighboring cities wifl
feel mighty sore. ; i
Politics? Of course its
will be because they pulled better pontics with the army
board. One of the chief objections the stuffed shirt eenerala
have against Roseburg is simply that they would appear to
be giving in to the wishes of the president and congressmen.

Summer Care
of Infants
X.ons; before tho baby's arriral
the mother should bo Impressed
with the importance of breast
feeding;. Statistics show that the
breast-fed baby is. In general, far
mors likely to Uto through the
first critical year than is the bottle-fed
baby. Brery . mother's
mind should be fully made up
that she will nurse her baby un
less the doctor himself finds some
insuperable reason to the con
trary. Tho best and most exper
ienced doctors beliero that almost
an mothers can nurse their ba
bies, at least for a time, if tho
proper effort Is made and they
rarely advise artificial feeding: ex
cept for. crave medical reasons.
Breast feeding; Is much safer tor
the baby; it is much less trouble
for tho mother .and more economv
leal. - ' ".. -4 ,-
Although breast feeding la im
portant for the baby at .all sea
sons of the year, erery mother
will realise at once that it Is
doubly so la summer. Many of the
characteristics- of ! the summer
season -heat, flies, dust, etc, -tend
to make artificial feeding a
nightmare for tho conscientious
mother. . 1 ;
Young babies, especially dur
ing the warm weather, are partic
ularly susceptible to digestive up
sets and to diarrheal diseases. It
is much easier to prevent ' these
than to cure them. Clean cow's
milk Is the next best substitute
for mother's milk. It should be
boiled for two or three minutes,
then cooled before feeding It to
the baby. "
' When cow's milk of good Qual
ity can not bo obtained unsweet
ened or evaporated condensed
milk diluted with water makes a
s a 1 1 s f a c tory substitute. The
sweetened condensed milk is not
recommended. Babies fed on it
exclusively are fat, often look
well, but have no resistance to
disease.
. Babies should be carefully pro
tected from contact with othor
children and older persons in the
famUy who are suffering with di
arrhea. House files frequently
carry the germs that cause di
arrheal diseases, from out-houses
to the baby's food or to the baby's
hands, face and body. Houses
should be screened In the; sum
mer and flies should be kept
away from the baby, its food and
clothing. The baby and young
child should be dressed accord
ing to i the temperature and not
according to the season. Babies
should rarely bo fed more often
than'-OTery three hours. There is
less risk, especially in hot weath
er, if they are fed at four-hour in
tervals that is, fire or at most
six times in tho 24 hours. Cooled
boiled water should be offered to
the baby between feedings In. hot
weather.
The baby should have a room
to himself. It should be clean,
well ventilated and free from un
necessary hangings and furniture.
Sunlight and fresh air are indis
pensable for the baby. The only
safe procedure in raising babies
is to consult a well-qualified phy
sician for advice.

Homer's favorite view:
On the west porch of the his
toric pioneer home of Ralph C.
Geer; in the famous Waldo hills,
there Is a cartoon, and an Inscrip
tion, reading:
"I want to say that from this
old porch I see my favorite view
of all that the earth affords. It
was the favorite of - my dear
mother andher parents and of
my father. And why shouldn't It
be the same to me? It's where my
happiest hours hare been spent.
Homer Davenport. 11 April,
li04."
The . house on which is this
porch was that of Ralph C. Geer,
pioneer of 1847, on his donation
land claim, one of the first filed
upon in that section. And the
beautiful view from the old porch
Justifies the words under tho ear-
toon; however influenced their
writing was by memories of early
associations of the renowned car
toonist. The date suggests, the time
when Homer Davenport was In
Oregon with his herd of Arabian
horses which he was showing at
the Lewis and Clark fair of 1905;
horses he himself had selected
from the desert bands in their na
tive land.
The 10 th annual reunion of the
Geer clan, descendants of Joseph
Carey : Geer, was held In and
around the Ralph C. Geer home
on Sunday last, 'when about 100
were present, from near and far
places. The house was afterwards
occupied by Ralph's ' son,' By
Geer, and is now the home of A.
A. Geer, son of By., grandson of
Ralph C, and great grandson of
Joseph' Carey Geer.

Ralph C. Geer lived a singular
ly useful life. He was-the founder
of the pear Industry of the Ore
gon country; brought the first
half bushel of pear seeds when he
came from Illinois with one of
the wagon trains of 1S47. - Ho
brought also a bushel of apple
seeds. By exchanging . seeds tor
buds with ' Henderson Lewelllng,
they were able to furnish cultiva
ted trees In great numbers In that
early time; the "first in quantities
to be had in all this section. Lew
elllng, . as most readers , know.
brought his "traveling . nursery"
that year; a fair slxed nursery la
wagons drawn by oxen.
: Ralph C. Geer was -one of the
moving spirits la the organisation
of the first agricultural society on
tho Pacific coast. In Salem, April
, 154. That was the beginning
of the Oregon state fair. Gover
nor John W. Davis was the first
president. The first fair was held
Oct. 11 of that year.

that he advocated In that speech
the building of woolen mills and
the introduction of Angora goats

If Editor Putnam had his way
there would be no tariff on cher
ries. Then eastern importers
could continue to bring in their
fruit from Italy while American
cherry growers, lacking a mar

rot. This would be a fine arrange

manufacturers, but not so good
for cherry growers. of The Dalles,
Salem and elsewhere on the Pa

Editor Putnam might get a
new slant on tho tariff if he
would read the market page of
his own newspaper. Someone who

There Is a lot more history at

There Is a tall black walnut
tree in the yard near the old
house that was brought, as a
twig, fromi the Geer home In Il
linois, and another from the ear
lier Ohio home of the family.
They are now ; great trees, with
wide spreading branches. Many,
many years ago, Ralph C. Geer,
when on a visit to his boyhood
homes, brought the twigs and set
them out.

At the same time, ho brought a
butternut and a thornapple twig,

But there is another tree in
that yard that has a romantic his

father, was out horseback riding
one day, with Florlnda Geer,
daughter of Ralph C. Geer, who
became the mother of Homer
Davenport. The then young, cou
ple, Timothy and Florlnda, cut
off for their riding whips two
balm twigs. Returning from their
ride, they stuck the two twigs
into the ground near an Irriga
tion ditch back of the house end
they grew: to great, tall trees. The
one still standing look to be 190

that Florlnda- became the wife of

another Delight, the real De

her face rather pale under the

"No. I'm not angry. " Mary
Lou's voice came, so low that De

had to strain her excellent ears
in order to catch the muted tones.

said Lorrimer, and the listener
caught her breath. If that were
true It would be another compli

well, almost as happy as I
would be. We we eould harei so

But it would not be real.
Loving Mary Lou Thurston as
she was, he could nerer come to
love Delight Harford as she had
become. Never, if. I
Delight went back -to the lit
tie path In the woods, hesitated
there. She'd return to town and
wait. When Mary Lou came jto
her, whatever had been decided, -she
would tell her she had chang
ed her mind. She would tell her
she would leave New York with
out Lorrlmer's ever harlng-known
she had been there. Mary Lou
eould do as she thought best
about what, eventually, she would
have to tell him when the real
truth, had to be told. h
Comfort, ease, .luxury! Sjhe
turned her back i on them all, a
rather gallant woman who knew
her own limitations, a woman
who realized her own soul and jot t
what she was capable. That she
was not capable of being to this
man what Mary Lou was to him,
she was fully and bitterly aware.
She turned and walked away.
She was blinded i by tears. She
put up her hand to brush them
awa. She caught her ridiculous
spike-heeled shoe on a bidden,
wandering root and fell to ' the
ground, twisting her ankle pain
fully and lay there a r moment,
wondering what she would do.
She got to her hands and knees
and managed to! stand upright,
but the hurt ankle betrayed her
and flung her again. She eat
holding it In her ; bands, sobbing
under her breath, ; regarding tho
damage to her stocking with the
practical regret of the woman
who has few stockings and can
not afford to tear them. - How
would she get back to the sta

couldn't go on tomorrow nighjt; 1
she couldn't dance ;she couldn't
even walk, i !'
She was dizzy with pain and
sick with it. She had eaten noth
ing for breakfast, she bad been
out until almost dawn. Lack pf
food and sleep, her long unaccus
tomed walk In the sun, the agoar a
of her rapidly swelling ankle told
on her now. She gave a short
sob, which was half a groan, and

BACK FROM TBI
Southern California Is an inter
esting country with plenty of mil
lionaires and thousands of lovely
homes but, It Isn't as pretty as
Oregon, City Treasurer Clyde
Rice said yesterday after a two
weeks' trip Into that country. It
was his first southern California
excursion and was thoroughly ear
Joyed. With Mr. Rice went his
wife and their, children, Mr. and
Mrs. Fay Rice. I j
"Agua Callente Is some plate
but Tla Juana Is dirty and disor
derly," Mr. Rice commented.
"Crops we saw! looked fine al
though there Is little grain! to be
seen. The Irrigated fruit trees Im
pressed us. We saw comparative
ly few evidences of hard times
and the number of transients an
the road did not seem more nu
merous than In this state." I
On the return trip the Rlcea
came north by way of the Red
wood highway which they felt
was very scenic but tee full of
curves to please the women mem
bers of the party. North ot Eure
ka the Riee car was run Into by
another auto but neither machine
was seriously damaged.
