Ap) with CDjouhlelested! fDxmM&AcBm! and EFFICI EMT LACK OF EDUCATION ON THE WAE 'DEBTS Seldom has the failure of the lead ers of the American people to edu cate this nation to an intelligent view of an important problem been as conspicuous or as perilous as it now is in regard to the issue of war debts. Neither Mr. Hoover nor Mr. Roose velt, nor anyone else who has a full comprehension of the matter, i3 in the least doubt about the imper ativeness of sitting down frankly and without passion and coming to a sensible readjustment of the debtor nations' obligations. Yet there is an inconceivable mass of the American people, whose misconceptions are re flected by the puerile clattering of congressional tongues, who do not understand the injury with which this nation threatens itself by an un compromising attitude on enormous debts that cannot possibly be paid in full. This situation has been allowed to arise before in the postwar period, and the opportunity to co-operate openly and effectively with the rest of the world in international affairs was lest despite the encouragement of four successive presidents. It has arisen since in the matter of Rus sian recognition, and the hysteria of a small group has kept two of the largest nations in the world divided and has scuttled a foreign trade that would by now have been of substan tial value to cur industry and our labor. Even yet, with all of the infor mation and debate of the past few weeks, the "every-last-nickel" group in congress is successfully confusing many people as to the distinction be tween the December payments of in terest on the war debts and the whole problem of principal revision. This government has insisted upon those payments this month, and in some form or other they will be- made. The important thing i3 that the American government shall come to a fair and understanding consider ation of the larger problem, which if permitted to wreck European cur rency and throw mere than half the world into economic chaos, would cost the American nation far more in trade and co-operation and friend ship than full collection even if that were within vague possibility. The people of the United States are intelligent enough and honest enough to meet that problem fairly if it 13 presented to them without nationalistic prejudice or deliberate misconstruction. An alternative no longer presents Itself. The tragic obstinacy of congressional noisemak- ers Is going to have to yield and senseless selfishness is going to have to be submrged. In no other way is orderly recon struction of the war-torn world econ omy even possible. Des Moines Reg ister. :o: THE STATES ON REPEAL The house vote on prohibition re peal is an arresting index of chang ing sentiment in the states. Last March, when the house voted on the Beck-Linthicum resolution for -repeal, 17 "states were wet, 28 were dry and three were divided, ac cording to the vote of a majority of their delegations in congress. Monday 26 states were wet, 17 were dry, and five were divided. If the votes of congressmen are an accurate representation of their constituents' views, the result should be construed a3 an omen of unex pected strength in the cause of re peal. The wets have supposed they would have little trouble passing a beer bill, but it is doubtful if even they suspected they could come so near to marshalling 36 states behind repeal of the Eighteenth amendment. And this is how near they have come: Of the 17 dry states five can be considered as doubtful, Georgia congressmen voted five for and six against, with one not voting. Ne vada's one congressman did not vote, but in March he voted for repeal; eo it is most probable that Nevada should be counted a wet state. Ore gon voted one against, with two not voting. Vermont voted one against, with one not voting. West Virginia voted two for and three against, also with one not voting. Thus there are really 10 doubtful states In addition to the 26 wet states. In other words, only 12 states are at this writing rock-ribbed dry. It is significant too that this week's vote was a vote on outright repeal, whereas the Beck-Linthicum resolution contained features design ed to placate those who hold but for repeal with reservations. If a resolu tion calling for repeal with federal protection of prohibition In dry states were to be submitted and voted on right now, without even waiting for the new congress. It is probable that the parade of the states would be even more Impressive. World-Her ald. COL. HOWE IN ROLE OF FTDUS ACHATES Word from Warm Springs that Colonel Louis McHenry Howe will continue as the confidential adviser of President-elect Roosevelt and will be a member of the family at the White house might be ruled out as "news" under the definition of a fa mous editor. On the other hand, if it should be announced that the inti mate and confidential relations of more than 20 years were to be brok en, that indeed would be news. " Those familiar with the close friendship of that period give to the quiet, self-effacing but energetic, shrewd and resourceful Colonel Howe much cf the credit for placing Mr. Roosevelt in the president's chair. Their acquaintance began in 1911, when the governor led the demo cratic insurgents in the state senate. The newrpaper correspondent of that day is said to have concluded that the Dutchess county legislator was presidential timber. Howe be came his alter ego when, in 1912, Mr. Roosevelt being taken ill, he took ever his friend's campaign and brought about the senator's re-election in a normally republican dis trict. Since then it has been "Louis" and "Franklin," their mutual esteem and affection increasing with the years. Colonel Howe is thoroughly fa miliar with the way the wheels of the federal government go round, for he was first civilian aid to Mr. Roose velt when the latter was assistant secretary of the navy during the war. He was a powerful factor behind the scenes in the department. And all along he had that vision of his idol sitting some day in the White house. It did not fade when, in the summer of 1921, Mr. Roosevelt was stricken with infantile paralysis. His faith and encouragement had much to do with the physical comeback, the de cision to run for governor in 1928 and the subsequent campaign to make Mr. Roosevelt the democratic presidential nominee in 1932. He has been more than a "Colo nel House." He has been not only a confidential adviser of unusual tact and wisdom but an unofficial admin istrator of many of the details of Mr. Roosevelt's march to the White house. He possesses the rare com bination of counselor and successful handler of details. His devotion is all for his friend; he thinks not at all of himself or his personal future, a quality all too rare In politics or elsewhere. The incoming president Is to be congratulated on being able to have on his staff not only a mind so keen, so expert in public psychology, but a tried and faithful friend as well. New York Herald-Tribune. :o: CARING FOR AGED While the pressure of public opin ion in support of lower taxation is likely to make futile Ihe efforts of socially-minded liberals to secure the passage of old age pension bills, sev eral of the states have commissions that are inquiring into the proposal on the theory that possibly this might be less expensive than main taining the indigent and aged poor in almshouses. Illinois is one of these states. Appearing before that commission recently Jane Addams insisted that old age pensions will not increase taxation in the counties, which are primarily responsible for the care and support of these persons, and that being true the humane thing to do is to give them an allowance from the county treasury. In these times, she points out, there are a number of homes where the pension money would be welcomed as an addition to the family income when it comes to them in the form of board and room cf dependents. Miss Addams says that statistics from nineteen states support her contention as to costs. The commission is in the midst of a series of hearings, and finds busi ness men and manufacturers opposed to the plan. The spokesman for these interests do not challenge the ac curacy of Miss Addams statistics, but they say that once the old age pen sion is started it will grow just like all other pension systems, both in the number of people to whom the pensions are made available, and in the amounts paid out for this pur pose. The objectors says that the fact that such a pension is available would mean a determined effort on the part of kin now caring for the aged and infirm to shift the burden of their support to the taxpayers gen erally, and that once established It would mean that those on the border line, who are unable to pay for med ical care, for instance, would be ask ing for assistance of this sort, just as service men are being given free medical care by the government for ailments and injuries unconnected with their services. Nebraska turned a deaf ear to the WW IF a B, ST. THE PUBLIC should be prudent in seeking relief from pain. Take nothing which does not have the approval of the medical profession. BAYER ASPIRIN will never do you any harm, and almost always brings the desired relief. But remember that the high medical endorsement given Bayer Aspirin does not apply to all tablets for relief of pain. THE DOCTOR is careful to specify Bayer Aspirin for these important reasons: It has no injurious ingredients. No coarse particles to irritate throat or stomach. Nothing to upset the system. Not even any disagreeable taste. The Bayer process insures a pure, uniform product. INSIST on the tablet you know to be safe. And the one that has speed. Bayer tablets dissolve so quickly, you get immediate relief from your headache, neuralgia, or other pain. plea for such a bill at the last ses sion. The effort is certain to be re newed.

State Journal. :o: "BUY AMERICAN," WRITER URGES Until the effective laws are made ard the proper formulas decided on (to prevent the underselling of American-made products by cheap for eign importations), the American people can vastly improve the situ ation by taking a voluntary, an Am erican, a "highly patriotic stand. They can demand American-made goods. There are plenty of them, most of which are of far higher grade than this stuff shoved in here from the cheap-waged countries of the world, from the countries where money is' debased and labor 13 - paid wages that no American could live on. We have been greatly excited, in the past, over the influx of cheap foreign labor to this country, and have taken drastic legislative steps to restrict that cheap foreign labor immigration by establishing quotas and otherwise holding it in strict control; but to what avail is all this protection to American labor, if we do nothing to restrict the importa tion of cheap labor goods made in foreign countries? That is a more direct and danger ous competition than any influx of cheap foreign labor because it strikes directly at the wages, the homes and the standards of living of those who are now Americans.
