Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
THE nation of the world we gath
ered at London to discuss the
atablliMtlon of money.
That la to ay, they are trying to
find a way to get back to the old
ound basla of trading the money of
one country for the money of an
other country at a fair rate of ex
change that will be the same when
deal la completed aa when It wa
begun.
THAT ought 7obe" done. It MUST
be done ,lf bualneaa among the
nation la to be carried on witn ar.y
degree of confidence at all.
It aeema auch a simple and ol-vloua
thing to do that plain business men
wonder why the representatives of
the natlone don't get Vjgether at
lunch aome day, paaa t'.ie necessary
resolution and then r,o back home
and get to work.
rAT la the-way plain business
men would 60 It. But this world
V eoenomlc conference In London Isn't
being run by plain business men. It
la being run by diplomats, and dip
lomats dor.'t do thlnge that way.
Their, method la to get together
with t'jelr fingera crossed, each de
termined to get everything In sight
for his own county and to cheat
erery other country out of Its eye
teeth, If possible by A'NY form of po
lite akulduggery.
THIS world economic conference of
which we are reading In the pa
' pers Is being run by diplomats, and
It Is running true to ancient diplo
matic form with thla exception:
The representatives of ALL the
other nations are more or less ftrmly
united in the determination to cheat
the UNITED .STATES out, of Its eye
teeth, come what may. .
That is what they are there for.
i ,
' yHIS writer is one very small Indi
1 vldual. and Jils opinion doesn't
count for much; but here it is, offer
ed for what It is worth:
If the United States is wise, it will
go Into thla conference and OCT
WHAT IT WANTS or take Its toys
and go home.
We're getting exceedingly tired -of
going Into conferences with European
nations and coming home without our
clothes. It's about time to stop.
ARE we going to stop?
Well, here Is a hint: It la an
nounced; from Washington that out of
the three and a third billions of pub'
lie works money 33 naral vessels and
300 navy airplanes will be built at a
total cost of $347,382,000.
That sounds like business, doesn't
It? It amounta, in effect to saying
to Europe: "All right, If you don't
want to play with us, we're going to
be prepared hereafter to PLAT BY
. OUK5ELVES."
That is talking the only language
that Europe understands.
Fthe past, In our attitude toward
Europe, we hare been the Lady
Bountiful.
We helped her fight her wars, and
UNDERWROTE THE COST. We kept
our hands entirely out of the bsg
when the spoils were being grabbed
for.
Then we loaned her the money with
which to rehabilitate herself so she
could get bak Into competition with
us.
WE, who have the money with
which to build the biggest ar
maments on earth, have promoted dis
armament conference, and have abid
ed by their decisions, scrapping the
vessels we agreed to scrap and cut
ting our army to the bone.
Nobody else has.
WE have played' the Lady Bountiful
for Europe, and all we have got
out of It Is a reputation as he prize
Easy Mark. Europe has sized us up
and figured out that the thing to do
with ua la to take us for our shirt.
AGMN offering the opinion of one
humble Individual, It's, getting
about time to call a halt. If all we
can hope to get out of playing with
Europe la being cheated out of our
ere teeth, let'e QUIT playing with
Europe and piay by ourselves.

LEGION SPLIT BY
ON VET BENEFITS
Copyrighted by McClure Newspaper
' Syndicate.
By PAUL MALLON.
WASHINGTON, June 21. There la
an Inside fight starting In the Am
erican Legion which will rock Its
foundation.
Dissatisfied groups are being or
ganized quietly In posts all over the
country. They are determined to
toss out Vie more reasonable group
which has generally been In control
of legion affairs sjnee its inception.
If they can elect a flre-eatlng na
tional commander at Chicago in Sep
tember you will see a different kind
of a legion than you have ever seen
before.
Those who have been polling sent
iment confidentially say the Issue
will be very, very close.
The existing regime handled Itself
very well during the hot veterans
cuts rows recently. It kept Its hands
clean.
The national organization did no
direct lobbying on the inside or out,
Its passivity implied support for the
administration. Individual posts out
through the country bombarded con
gress. The result were probably
better from a legion atandpolnt than
If the national outfit had entered the
fray.
Long-visioned men will see that
the outcome of the present veterans
dispute la only a stop-gap. Budget
requirements forced action. If we
get any kind of a substantial busi
ness recovery It will be a different
story when congress meets In Janu
ary. Unquestionably you may ex
pect to see permanent legislative re
forms for veterans before the con
gressional elections next year.
For that reason the boys backstage
believe this current fight was given

One Came to Home in
' Night With Stolen Votes
Walter J. Jones, charged with bal
lot theft, took the witness stand In i

ed of all spectators, and the wit
nesses for both sides to remain In

Thla la going to be an orderly
trial. If it Is possible to have one
and I think It Is," the court com
mented.
Crowd Increasing
The past two days there has been &

room.
Jones, In his direct examination.

boys on the basement floor: that he
was around the courthouse the night
cf the vote stealing, with a hammer
and monkey-wrench In his sleeve;
that he told "Chuck" Davis, "Tom
Brecheen and I figured on getting In

City CounciL Informed
In Plea for Profit Law
Claiming that the Mcdfor police
department la without authority to
prohibit the handling of Illicit liquor
and that certain places In this city
are selling liquor of "all strengths"
and that public nuisances exist aa a
result; a delegation from the Every
Man'a Bible class and the Jackson
County Civic League, headed by R. L.
Ray, appeared before the city council
last night to ask action to prevent
the existence of such violations of the
prohibition law,
Mr. Ray presented the petition, ask
ing for an ordinance granting the. po
lice department authortty and power
to enter and search such places and
make arrests. At this time the police
department, he maintained, has no
such authority and Is therefore un
able to take action In the matter. A
"wide open" town will result, Mr. Ray
stated unless action is taken by the
city. Enforcement of the Eighteenth
amendment, he explained Is "now up
to the municipality." There Is no
state authority to interfere with the
consumption of Illicit liquor."
The city la without legal protection
to halt the aale of any liquor, he de
clared, asking the cooperation of the
council in a campaign to halt the
sale of liquors of strength exceeding
the legalised 3 3.
Chief of Police Clatous MoCredie

TRIO OF STATES
E
BY REPEAL VOTE
(By the Associated Press)
Long-dry Iowa, with Conectlcut and
New Hampshire, today brought to 14
the states which In unbroken succes
sion have voted to knock the eight
eenth amendment out of the consti
tution.
The Hawkey state's swing away
from the position she had maintained
for nearly two decadea left drya fix
ing their hope for a halt in the pa
rade on Alabsma and Arkansas, both
voting July 18.
tn the doubtful column when the
balloting began, Iowa brought In In
substantial majority for the repeal
amendment, even though It waa not
aa big as that In Connecticut and
New Hampshire. But with 611.000
votes In, and only 130 precincts miss
ing, her count was 368,601 for repeal
and 342.013 against. That meant ahe
had instructed all of her 09 delegates
to the state convention July 10 to
vote for repeal.
From the start there had been no
question about what New Hampshire
and Connecticut would do. The for
mer, with a light ballot and only one
small town missing, voted 78.069 to
.10.337 for repeal.
In like faahlon, Connecticut gave
a (I to I majority to the twenty-first
amendment, which repeals the eight
eenth. Her final, unofficial total was
236.01 B for repeal and 3S.340 against.
With these three out of the way.
Alabama and Arkansas provided the
next major battleground. The proa
and the anils are concentrating on
them, even though California and
West Virginia do vote earlter, on
June 27.
Drya figure that If they can hold
two states this year, the question will
be put over until 1034, when their
chances will be better. Wets would
like to win both Alabama and Ar
kansas, but agree that it will be close.
