Mussolini Speaks.
(Copyright, 1928, by Star Co.)
Herbert Hoover, talking to
our friends in Chile, urges the
use of United States loans to
develop South American coun
tries. That is wise advice, use
ful to the. United States.
If some of the billions lent
to Europe since the war ended,
some of them used for war
preparations, over there, had
been lent to South America it
might be better for us, for
South America and for Europe.
It is not pleasant to read of
au attack .on Mr. Hoover
planned by anarchists in the
Argentine. It is not possible to
understand such au insanely
criminal attempt.
However, Mr. Hoover will
proceed on his way, attending
to the business in hand. His
work as a .young engineer in
China and elsewhere long ago,
proves that fear plays a small
part in his makeup.
Steel, motors. and ''the cop
pers" were the little children
that led the "Wall Street mar
ket up AVednesday. Radio
bounced back to .'11 2, going as
high as !M0. Lambs still left
clinging to the ticker decided
that there might be balm in Gil
ead, after all.
New York thinks ten out of
,12 on a jury should be allowed
to convict, no matter' what the
other two might 'do. A crimi
nal on trial if prosperous may
"influence" two. 11' ten could
convict it would make It less
easy to "fix" a jury. That's
. the theory.
Jury fixing is a prosperous
industry in New York AND
elsewhere. ' '
"Wall Street believes, that
Packard and Chrysler, Wli big
and successful, will combine
and establish another gigantis
fighting automobile unit.
The individual manufacturer
will soon feel like Gulliver
a m o u g the Hrobdinagians,
whose smallest child ean hold
the traveling Englishman on
the end of one finger.
However, brains and energy
count, even among giants. The
right kind of "independent"
will find and maintain bis
place.
l'rohibitiou and bootlegging
have pretty well established
bribe giving and taking as n
regular institution.
Count, that day lost in Italy,
whoso low descending sun finds
Mussolini without a new idea.
Hut there are few such days.
At present he rebukes "inibe
cile optimism as Italy's great
est peril. . ' , .
' What would lie say about this
country, where imbecile opti
mism piles up gold in billions,,
like a Strassburg goose laying
on fat, but provides no protec
tion against on enemy that
might decide to eat the goose.
Mussolini, offcrlns a prize for
big families, says the rich disgrace
themselves by having so few chil
dren and calls the poor "Italy's
hope."
Why worry about the childless
rich as long as the poor have chil
dren; The rich that amount to
anything originally came from poor
people ever since the days of Rom
ulus and Remus end farther back
to Adam and Eve.
It Is better for those that do not
want children not to have them;
better for them, bettor for the
world. What you do unwillingly Is
not done well.

tain Hurton Smith of Washington,
D. (!.. and other eastern attorneys
will present the claims of the state
of Oregon ut a hearing -before the. i
house ways and means committee
January 4 relative to a possible
refund to the state by the govern
ment of about $200,000. This sum
represents direct taxes levied by
the government on property in
Oregon during and after the Civil
war. Other states are taking sim
ilar action, and the entire amount
involved is about $200,000,000.
What tho tax levy was for is not
shown In any state records here,
nor do any of the state officials
recall the purpose. The move for
the refund, as far as Oregon is
concerned, originated In 1921,
when the legislature paniud an act
empowering the state board of
control to enter Into a contract
with attorneys whereby tho latter
would endeavor to get legislation
through congress authorizing the
refund. On October 4, 1021, the
board entered Into a contract with
Walter Crltchlow. a Portland at
torney. The board at that time
was Governor Olcott, Secretary of
State Kozer and State Treasurer
Hoff.

Nothing more was heard of the
matter until yesterday when Gov

asking whether tho state would be

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.(?)
A plan whereby the Pan-American
arbitration conference now In ses
sion here would offer Its good of
fices to Paraguay and Itotlvla for
settlement of their boundary dis
pute, was presented to the confer
ence today by Its special commit
tee dealing with the controversy.
The plan, which was decided
upon in a last minute meeting of
the co mm It lee before noon, also
provided that if both Bolivia and
Paraguay accept the offer of tho
conference the committeo already
appointed to lnok into the matter
would be maintained to conciliate
the dispute.
Phe proposal was that suggested
yesterday by Dr. Orestes Ferrers.

It followed advices from Argen
tina that she waived any prior
rights as a mediator In favor of the
arbitration conference. . This open
ed the way for decisive uctlon on
the part of tho conference hero.
It was emphasized at the confer
ence, however, that whereas Ar

boundary relations between Para-I

conrcrenco would only deal with
the circumscribed .problem of the
'difficulties- arising out oP the - re

both Bolivia and Paraguay, If
agreed to by tho conference, will

though King Oeorge has success
fully passed through a very crit
ical pliaso of bis Illness, the latest
official word from llucklngham
palace today indicated that there
.was a long nnd difficult struggle
ahead of him before tho danger
point was passed und he reached
a convalescent stage.
The latest offlclul word was con
tained In a message sent by Lord
Htamfordham, the king's private
secretary, on behalf of Oueen Mary
In reply to President C'oolldge's
cordial messago to tho king. This
message said:
"Tho queen Is most grateful In
you, Mr. President, for your kind
messsgo of which ills Mujesty will
in due course be Informed ah soon
ss his strength permits. Though
the recent operation, successfully
treated one phase of the king's
serious Illness, the consequences of
the general infection will entail
works of slow and anxious progress
before eonvalcnscepco can he
reached."
This message was more Informa

letin, which slated:
"The slight Improvement In the
king's condition noted last even

must bo slow and difficult."
Tho bulletin was signed by Blr
Hugh Hlgby, Mr Htnnley llcwett
and Lord Dawson of Penn.
Indicating the greatly weakened
state that the king must ho In after
.the trying operations of Wednes
day, and the effects of Infection
on his system, was tho fact made
.known by the queen's message that
the king had not yet been Inform
ed of Mr. C'oolldge's telegram. This,
It was slated, would be communi
cated to him only when he gained
a sufficient measure of strength.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14. (P)
The tale of a Pegasus-llke flight In
the eighteenth century formed a
contrasting topic of discussion with
the recent astounding strides of '
aviation in the United States and
plenary session of tho Internation
al Aeronautics conference.
At its opening session two days
ago the conference heaped high
honors upon Orvllle Wright, the
American who was the first to fly
a motor-driven airplane, and today
It gathered to hear of a Czecho
slovak, named Fuclk, who from
1760 to 1770 made several success
ful flights In a birdlike contrap
tion. """J m
The story of the eighteenth cen-
tury fUKht was related in a report.
prepared by the Aero Club of
Czechoslovakia, which told how
Fuclk constructed wings made
from wood and tin and propelled
himself through the air with bel
lows filled with fen gas. On IiIm
last flying attempt Fuclk fell und
was fatally injured.
The history of the development
of the various airplane engines.
