The Death Dance SOME politicians are exhibiting almost fiendish glee over forcing Great Britain to pay up her debts to this coun try. With the pound sterling slipping to fresh lows almost daily, which further paralyzes international trade, these "little Americans" do a death dance over Great Britain. Yet tpteTe Is probably no country in the world with a better rec ord for meeting its obligations than Great Britain. It was the first to fund its debt and did so on a very generous basis compared with the settlements we allowed other lands. For years her industries have been almost prostrate, but old John Bull has kept his chin up ; and British bull-dog tenacity has : kept that country fighting to maintain its national credit. Even now, though it cuts to where it bleeds, Britain will not default. We will get our money, but we will also lose our trade. If we were merely forcing a final settlement of an old issue, it might be all right to extract from our debtors every penny that is due. But there are other days coming. American cot ton-growers want to ship cotton to England's mifls. Amer ican wheat-growers want to ship wheat to feed England's toiling millions. American farmers want to ship pork to a market which for years absorbed our surplus production. England was always our best customer. We can now force England to pay; and then we can stew in our own surpluses of cotton and wheat and corn. And we can proceed to tax ; our consumers and give subsidies to our farmers, when an intelligent foreign policy would give giant strides toward normal recovery. President Hoover is in a hard situation He knows the facts, as do most men of affairs in Washington and New York. He urges the appointment of a new commission to make a fresh study of the individual cases. But the chauvin istic politicians clamor for the pound of flesh, little realiz ing that they are crippling the machinery of foreign trade. It is said, let them ave out of expenditures for arma ments. That is not the problem, which is one of transfer from one currency to another. France can make her pay ments in gold all right; but few of the other nations can without impairing their position. Our attitude is not one of particular concern for for eigners; but of prime interest in maintaining and improv ing present day trade. We repeat : England is worth more to the United States as a good, solvent customer than as a busted debtor. J Congress should follow the Hoover suggestion and cre ate a new. debt commission. Instead of forcing the countries into defaults we should make an effort to recognize the real ities of the situation and to rebuild international economy on a sound, gold standard basis. Then many of our domestic problems: taxes, prices, debts, may be put on a road to solution. law In. 7 ? Hb.1, '- -u. 1 - ATV Yesterdays ... Of Old Salem Town Talks from The State, man of Earlier Days December 1, 1907 The trustee of Willamette nnt- versity hare offered to the Salem public library a 100 by 200 foot site on the campus, last east of the medical building, as a site for the proposed new building.

Registration for the city elec tion Monday closed last night with 895 voters listed. Last year 1291 persons registered. Threat of Veto A NNOUNCEMENT is made that President Hoover will XTi veto any beer modification bill that comes to him dur ing the short session. His position is sound, that what is proposed is mere nullification of the constitution. He has previously expressed his approval of submission of a new amendment modifying the present prohibition provision. That is the proper, constitutional course. In the rush of wets for liquor they would ignore the fundamental law, depending on majority sentiment as expressed at the polls to justify overriding of the constitution. It is not a matter of merely Increasing the alcoholic content and still keep it non-intoxi cating. What the wets want is booze that will intoxicate; and tney are willing to override the constitution to get it. The proper, orderly procedure is first to amend or re peal the 18th amendment. If the sentiment of the country has changed as radically as the last election indicated, the de lay of ratification of a new amendment would not be great. We have always favored repeal rather than nullification whether by action of congress or law-breaking by the cit izens. ' ' v The same steps must be taken in Oregon. If the people want booze, repeal the prohibition seetion of the state con stitution. In the present bef uddlement there is no clear voice a? to what the people do want, except something different from what they have. J. P. Morgan got angry when sews photographers tried to snap his picture on his return from a trip to England. J. P. it seems, is a sphinx, refusing to give out interviews and never allowing his picture to be taken and printed in the hor rid newspapers. It used to be that kings could get away with V that stuff, hedging themselves about with an assumed divin ity; and after the kings, the captains of industry and fi nance. One thing the depression has done, it has stripped the halo from around the heads of the reputed "great" in the bus , Iness world.

WHEN A CHILD does not talk at an early ago, this causes Its parents much unnecessary alarm. Mother and father are worried and sure Some thins se rious is respon sible. This worry usually is aggra vated by the fond grandpar ents; who are certain every one of their children spoke at an early a$re. . May 1 assure all worried mothers that it a child eats, .wett, sleeps welt and Is gaining la weight, even though it does not speak at an early age, St is quite all right Really, there is ne need for worry. Delayed Speech Net Unasual Of course on rare occasions there are disturbances which may delay speech. If these are ruled out and the child is found to be wen la other respects, yen need not be alarmed If It does not speak before reach In two and a half or three rears ef as. Though most children talk between the aces of eighteen and twenty-tow months, a careful study of many children shows delayed speech to fee a common occurrence among healthy and norma .youngsters. In some cases delay In talking may be traced to dlfflcwlty la hearing. Ia ether eases, there Is a lack of proper eausoalar action. Such children have delayed development of speech with no apparent reason. Boys seem te taut as a later are than rirla.
