WAR DEBT PROBLEM
MAY BE SOLVED BY
GOODS TRANSFERRAL
NEW YORK.—The plan of two
prominent American industrialists for
solving the war debt problem without
reductions or cancellations but by
transfers of goods when needed has
been made public by Mangus W. Alex-
ander, president of the National In-
dustrial Conference Board.
It is the plan of Irenee du Pont,
chairman of the finance committee of
E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Co., and
George H. Houston, president of the
Baldwin Locomotive Works.
The industrialists start with the
recognition of the fact that intergov-
ernmental debts were incurred in ab-
normal times and that in normal times
repayment can not be made without
dislocating the commerce among na-
tions, Dr. Alexander said.
“The problem of transferring the
sums from the debtor countries to the
United States is the main, if not the
only, difficulty. Sincq we do not wish
to accept payment in commodities,
and since outright cancellation is not
in the interest of the United States,”
Mr. du Pont and Mr. Hpuston suggest
that our Government should not give
up its claims but should not call on

'TET sleeping dogs lie!" So' said the ciga-
J-rf rette trade when first we raised the sub-
ject of inhaling. But dodging an important
issue is not Lucky Strike’s policy!
Do you inhale? That question is vitally im-
portant . . . for every smoker inhales—know-
ingly or unknowingly. Every smoker breathes
in some part of the smoke he or she draws out
of a cigarette! And the delicate membranes
of your throat demand that your smoke be
pure, dean-free of certain impurities.
No wonder Lucky Strike dares to raise this
vital question! For Luckies bring you the pro-
tection you want... because Luckies’ famous
purifying process removes certain impurities
concealed in every tobacco leaf. Luckies cre-
ated that process. Only Luckies have it!
So, whether you inhale knowingly or
unknowingly, safeguard those delicate
membranes!

its debtors to discharge their obli-
gations to us until the payment can
be made in the form of goods and
services.
“The money the foreign countries
borrowed from us was used to buy
our goods and the problem of trans-
fer did not exist. At some time in
the future the United States may be
faced with a critical situation when
we may urgently need the materials
and services of our foreign debtors.
“At such a time, payment on ac-
count of \yar debts could be made to
us without creating the transfer prob-
lem. Our debtors would then be call-
ed on to deliver to us such goods and
services as we may require up to the
amount that enabled them to buy in
the United States with the help of
our loans.
“In this manner the United States
would not cancel or reduce its pres-
ent claims, but it would recognize the
impossibility or the-undesirability of
demanding payment now, and would
expect our foi-elgn debtors to dis-
charge their just obligations by send-
ing us their goods at a time when
we would be willing and glad to ac-
cept them.”
The plan was presented by Dr.
Alexander in a speech before the pri-
vate annual meeting of the board last
week and was made public after in-
dustrials attending the meeting had
suggested its release.

for several days with his brothers and

APPEAL IS FILED BY
CONVICTED SHERIFF
AUSTIN, May 23.—S. A. Christian,
former sheriff of Hall County, sen-
tenced to two years’ imprisonment on
a charge of extortion in the collec-
tion of fees of office, appealed his
conviction to the Court of Criminal
Appeals today. Christian was one of
six sheriffs convicted on inditcments
charging irregularities in fee collec-
tions in criminal cases.
One of (the convictions, that of
Woody Townsend, sheriff of Bastrop
County, has been reversed and re-
manded by the appellate court.
HOUSE GROUP WILL
ACT ON EMPLOYMENT
WASHINGTON, May 23.—Inde-
pendent house members will meet
Thursday night to devise a plan to
put through Congress at this session
a legislative program to relieve un-
employment.
A formal statement signed by Rep-
resentatives Mead (dem.), New York,
I Kelly of Pennsylvania and LaGuardia
of New York (reps.), inviting all the
members to attend the meeting was
distributed at their offices late Mon-
day.
It declared that Congress should
not adjourn until action had been tak-
en to give relief to the homeless and
starving. ’
Duty to Aid Humanity.
“Our present duty as the repre-
sentatives of the American people is
to now do for humanity what we
have already done through the Re-
construction Finance Corporation for
business and industrial concerns,” the
statement said.
“We must at once give immediate
help in the form of public works and
direct relief to the homeless and
starving. Therefore bold but sound
constructive measures must be under-
taken for the immediate revival of
industry and the re-employment of
all classes of the, American people.
“For congress to adjourn without
accomplishing these ends, as now is
urged by outside, selfish and unin-
formed sources, would be equivalent
to deserting our distressed people and
our cherishel institutions in the time
of their calamity.”
The plans were made in the house
at about the same time that Senator
Cutting (rep.), New Mexico, was in-
troducing a bill for a $5,000,000,000
public works program to be financed
by a bond issue.
The New Mexico” senator assailed
the President for opposing such a
bond issue and said the chief exec-
utive’s position was a reversal of
former views he had expressed.

BLOND-HAIRED WHITE
INDIANS FOUND IN
PARAGUAYAN JUNGLE
BEUNOS AIRES, May 23.—The ex-
istence of white Indians with blonde
hair, who live like animals in the
Grand Desex-t of Northeastern Para-
guay, was confirmed by Dr. Donald
S. Wees, the Harvard museum ex-
plorer, on his arrival here Monday.
Dr. Wees recently spent five months
penetrating this alternate jungle and
arid counti'y from Central Northeast-
ern Paraguay to the upper Brazilian
fi'ontier.
The explorer said blonde Indians
with light complexions lived in the
Grand Desert and the jungle. They
are completely naked and ax*e with-
out homes, shelters or traps of any
kind, subsisting on food gathered in
the jungles or shot with bows and
arrows. Dr. Wees obtained some of
these ci'ude weapons.
The explorer was unable to photo-
gi'aph the Indians, however. He said
they were as shy as animals and as
dangerous. Their chief menace to the
jungle traveler, he said, was then-
quest for horses and mules, which
they sought for meat.
Those most familiar with the i'e-
gion told the explorer that all they
had been able to overhear of the
speech of these creatures x’esembled
nothing of any tongue known to them.
White Indians pi’eviously have been
vaguely x’epox'ted in the Amazonian
wilderness far to the northward and
these repoi*ts have not been conclu-
sive enough jto establish their con-
trast with the -familiar South Amer-
ican Indian.
Dr. Wees would not venture an
opinion as to the possibility that the
creatures he saw wexp of Aryan
origin.
HENRY FORD INDORSES
EIGHTEENTH AMENDMENT
ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., May 17.—
Henry Fox'd Monday night sent a mes-
sage indox’sing prohibition to the
Methodist general conference as fol-
lows :
“I give my unreserved support to
the Eighteenth Amendment and the
prohibition law,” he wrote, “because
they provide the degree of control
over liquor which is necessary for na-
tional sotmety. As between a law j
which favors dx'inking and a law which
favors soberness, the American home
and church and school and woi'kshop
stand for the latter.
“Px-ohibition is the best method that
has yet been devised to give effect to
the sober sentiment of the nation. We
have always had excellent official co-
operation in its enforcement.”
His message was received with ap-
plause.
THE WETS POUR IT ON
(Dallas News)
Texas wets, with the redoubtable
Steve Pinckney of Houston in the
van, are reported x'eady to commit
the democratic party of Texas to the
repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment.
If that is done while John Gai’ner
is given the forty-six delegates of
Texas, Mr. Garner’s px'ospects as a
candidate are gone. The Texas Week-
ly holds that it is immaterial, but
surely the effect of such action is far
from immaterial.
The availability of the Speaker has
a number of elements, to be sure, but
not the least of them is the fact that
he is acceptable to a Large number
of dry democrats throughout the
South and West. If the home dele-
gation of Garner goes to Chicago with
hatchets sharpened for px'ohibition’s
slaughter, dry support for Garner
will be ended.
The wets of Texas democracy seem
to be afflicted with a sort of madness
likely to drive out of the party all
who are not of their mind. Nor are
they unawai*e of the likelihood, for
they actually court it. They are ob-
sessed with the notion that the revolt
of 1928 can not be repeated under any
provocation whatever, and, as if to
prove their thesis, they are magni-
fying the px'ovocation by every exa-
cerbation within their devising.
The convention has the right to vote
wet, if it so desix’es, of course, but
the utility of doing so is open to
question. The practically sure result
of it would be to defeat any chance
John Gainer may have. A unani-
mously wet democi’atic party will be
an achievement in unanimity, it is
true, but a democratic unity that kill-
ed Gamer's chances would be the tri-
umph of democratic stupidity.
