Home from Hospital
Miss Hzel Diekhute, one of the
teachers of the Alvo school, who was
at the hospital in Lincoln, where she
underwent an operation for appendi
citis, was so far improved last week
that she was able to return to Alvo
and with the coming of the vacation
departed for Omaha, where she spent
the holidays with her parents.
Kept in Middle of the Boad
While Roy Armstrong and family,
cf Wahoo. were coming too Alvo, and
were on the Cornhusker highway some
eight miles north of Lincoln, they
overtook another car going at a less
rapid gait, they honked for them to
get over, which they failed to do.
and when they attempted to pass the
other car got too close to the ditch
alongside the road and their car was
turned over and somewhat damaged,
although none of the occupants of the
car were injured. Uncle Joseph Arm
strong, of Alvo. father of Ray. was
in the car and was not in the least
perturbed and was pleased that the
accident terminated as well as it did.
They were trailing a load of wood
behind, which complicated matters.

Walter D. . PitWn of Columbia uni
versity told the Institute of Inter
national Relations which closed its
eighth session here last night. '
"There will be no obstacle to lis
tening across the seas," Professor
Pitkin said, ''when short-wave radio
transmission can make possible 20,
000 statkms operating at low cost
and without interference."
Messages thus broadcast will "leap
over illiteracy," which has hitherto
been a barrier to world understand
ing, he concluded.
Dr. Manley O. Hudson of Harvard
law school declared that "the Wonid
Court is.the only existing agency for
settlement of International disputes
by law. Its very existence," he con
tinued, "encourages the nations to
find pacific settlements of their dis
putes." Dr. Herman F. Swartz. president
of the Pacific School of Religion at
Berkeley, urged society as a whole to
shoulder unemployment insurance.
"We must first of all recognize
that any cycle of unemployment must
be paid for by the whole of society,
not only by the unemployed," he
said. "A fund to finance unemploy
ment insurance must be obtained
either by the capital reserve plan
or by assessment. . The latter plan
would mean a burden on society just
when it would weigh heaviest.
"The best experience indicates
that unemployment Insurance should
be financed by contributions from
three sources the workmen, who are
its ultimate beneficiaries, industry,
and society as a whole, with tbe
state as a convenient agency."
Two speakers discussed the Chi
nese situation and Manchurian crisis.
Mr. A. Bland Calder, assistant com
mercial attache at Shanghai, told of
the "great adjustment toward mod
ern industrial methods" in China.
Education of young Chinese in Am
erica or Europe has had much to do
with this modernization program, he
said. Trained in banking, agricul
ture and engineering, such men are
giving a new tone to China when
they returned from abroad.
Presenting tbe Chinese viewpoint.
Prof. X. Wing Mah pf the University
of California decried the act of Japan
in "sending military forces rough-
shot over the territory of a friendly
neighbor, without first having ex
hausted peaceful means" of solving
the Manchurian prublem.
. Dr. Rufus B. von KlejnSmid. ouan
cellor "of" "the Institute. J announced
that the tenth session will be held in
December, 1932, in Riverside. The
uinth had already been planned for
next July at Portland, Ore.
Debtor Nations
May Default on
Next Payments
Drastic Revision of War Obligations
Looming as a Probability
Moratorium Is In Effect
Washington Drastic revision of
Ku rope's future war debt payments
to the United States became a strong
probability Wednesday night just as
the American government completed 1

already in effect. Altho no official
would admit it. indications multipli
ed that the debtor nations would not
meet their obligations on schedule.
Congress having refused to provide
for revision beyond the present year,
temporary or permanent default
seemed entirely possible.
At Basel. Switzerland, an official
committee found that Germany can
not expect to resume her reparations
payments to her neighbor nations at
the end of the present holiday. It is
these same nations who owe the Uni
ted States. Several of them already
have indicated informally they can
not pay here unless Germany pays
them.
Officials would not comment in any
way on the action at Basel or its
probable result. President Hoover,
signing the resolution qf congress
which gave . legal effect to the one
year moratorium, said in a statement
that by its holiday proposal the Am
erican government had "averted . a
catastrophe. He said nothing about
the situation now.
The president did recommend that
congress recreate the war debt com
mission which made the present debt
funding agreements. Congress flatly
refused. To. tbe moratorium resolu
tion it attached a proviso that debt
reduction or ' cancellation was
Magaih6t the policy-of congress' . .
When he signed this resolution Mr.
Hoover made only this reference, to
the reduction proviso: "No part of
the debt owing us has been cancelled
of reduced; ' the- postponed amounts
are repayable over a period of ten
years with interest at .4 percent."
How Up. To Europe.. .
The next step is up to the Euro
pean nations themselves. Officials
sidestep all comment by saying they
first must study the reports of the
Basel committee.. Their attitude
shows conviction that congress has
spoken with great :deflniteness and
there is nothing left for President
Hoover to do. . , . v .

East St. Louis
Packers Lose
Federal Case
Suspension of Forty-seven Live
stock Dealers Upheld as
Constitutional
East St. Louis. 111. The constitu
tionality of the Packers and Stock
yards Act of 1921 and of the Agri
cultural Marketing Act of 102S,
which established the Federal Farm
Beard, was upheld by the Federal
Court here when it sustained an or
der of the United States Department
of Agriculture ' suspending 1 47 live
stock dealers at the National Stock
yards.- The case will be carried to the
United States Supreme C'urt.
The firms whose administrative
suspension was xipheld ry a special
court are said to have refused to
deci wih two cooperative members
of the Farm Board's organization set
up fcr purposes of marketing live
stock. According to the court decision, the
order of Mr. Arthur M. Hyde, Secre
tary cf Agriculture, which followed
a federal hearing in St. Louis alcrost
a yer.r ago, "was not unreasonable,
discriminatory or confiscatory." The
hearing upon which it was based, the
court said, "contained no irregulari
ties and was not violative of the
plaintiffs' constitutional rights."
The crux of the decision appeared
in that portion which said that the
refusal of registered marketing agen
cies at a public stockyards to deal
with other registered agencies with
out just cause "is an unfair and un
justly discriminatory practice and
device within the meaning of the
Packers and tSxkyard-, Act."
Sitting on the special court which
sustained the order were Federal
Judges Walter Lindley and Fred L.
Wham and Circuit Judge Samuel
Alschuler. The dealers accused of
tbe boycott appealed to the Federal
Court following the order and the
case was argued three months ago

Washington A sweeping reduc
tion of world tariff duties in a:i ef
fect to aid nations in payin : off)
tieir international obligat ir-ns was
advocated by Senator Hull as a nec
esfary prelude to debt revision nego
tiations. "The European governments in
debted to our government," the Ten
nessee democrat said in a statement.
"are estopped to rai.-e the question of
dent reduction until tney nrst lane
ail reasonable steps toward payment
by proposing to our government a
converted policy cf tariff reduction
and more liberal trade relations."
"This should be done," he added,
"so as to make it possible for the
tirst lime since the February tariff
enactment in 1922, for debtor na
tions to transfer across international
boundaries their payments of inter
est and principle when due."
Trade Report Issued.
"So far as I am able," he con
tinued. "I shall urge and insist that
our government and its d(btor gov
ernments first go on record on this
one method of restoring internation
al trade before ay debt discussion can
fairly and legitimately arise."
Meanwhile, the" foreign commerce
department of the chamber of com
merce of the United States announced
that an analysis of exports for the
first nine months of this year show
ed that 19 percent of the leading Am
erican exports gained in volume as
compared with a year ago.
In most instances, however, the
announcement said, "The quantity
gains in particular items were coun
teracted, insofar as dollar value is
concerned, by commodity price de
clines." Total value of the American
exports for the nine months was giv
en as $l.S41.729,PO0. approximately
38 percent below the same period
last year.
