And there i very reason to believe similar results will follow his appearances in Guatemala, Honduras, San Salvador, Costa Rica and Panama. As Will Rogers said about Mexico at the time of Col. Lindbe arrival in Mexlco City, “There are real people down here, if we only knew them.” This is equally true of all of the Cen- tral and South American republics south of the United States. > trouble has been that co few of the real people in country have known the real people in them. The flying diplomat is overcoming of this. He is making it possible for the real people of one to know their prototypes in the others. By his personality, his ability as a flier and his intelligence as an upstanding young North American, he is bring- ing home o the masses in the countr he visits that the jingo of this country is like the jingo of their own lands, not representative of the coun- try of his habitat. INCOME FIGURES SOAR. One of the most interesting sets of figures ever issued by the Bureau of Internal Revenue ‘was that recently made public showing the total income of the people of the United States, indi- cating that the highest standard of living ever - attained by a nation in the history of the world was reached last year by Americans. The Bureau's statistics revealed that the 117,000,000 people in the United States had a total imcome of nearly © $90,000,000,000 in 1926. This is an increase of about $27,0000000,006 since 1921, or more than 43 per cent. In 1921 the earned income In the 1'nil States was estimated ‘o be $62, 00,000, added to hi his mis n is wear Hi m in the for in that that his visit mess into which the two countries had aceredited diplomat 60 yea That may but it serves to bring which he served his capacity re dia an exa with our B0 ad It _increased by §3.000,000,000 for 1922, by §7,000.- - EDI’IOR AND MANAGEBJ"""" — | that GER | through | “|school gr: s erican income for the couniry was $685 Last as shown by the Internal Revenue Bureau's it had jumped to $769, an increase of 12 t A similar increase holds true for the me persons gdinfully $1.6 1921 year, able ot from en 37 in is not the of said the Bureau, “for was slightly rase in result in price income level,” consumed goods 6 than in 1921.” Comparison with the United Kingdom in 1924 the United States had h estimated at $320,803.862,000 ted Kingdom's na alth in figure |lan |the |1ess in 19 | actual price in reveals national while the a wea \l onal w 0 available for ingdom chows income 000,000,000, The last United $21.000,000,000, national the national that | than income of the in 1924 this wa or one-thivd of this country's e year dances the they the country husk corn; now drink it innati Enqui cause of good Ker” heing so the cities nowadays gubernatorial client h promises Texas lawyer who as making the death of his n, isn't in position to make many injured party Oklahoma continues to be the state of armed P'reparatory Scheoling.

The Drain to Ame! ing., Guardian.) ks with great authority financial matters, and when he said at last week that the spring of 1929, at would find Kurope faced with the im- possibility of meeting her ecurrent obligations to the United States, he did mot speak upon his own authority alone. The problem, brie is how Burope can continue to satisfy Americ demands for payment which have been incre both by the repayment of large blocks of Am- pre-war indebtedness to Kurope and by the creation of large new obligations from Eur- ope to America, in the form of war and post-war debts The accounts ought to be settled by in- cre d European exports to the States, but in fact Europe is exporting less than before the war. The balance has only been struck with the aid of large and increasing American loans. These, of course, while affording temporary relief, only make the final problem the more embarrassing. Sir George Paish does not think that the Ameri- can investor will be willing to bridge the gap for more than two more years at the outside. What will happen then? It is easy to speak of bankruptey, but a’ nation does not go bankrupt in the same way as a private trader does. The pressure could only be exerted through a fall in the Kuropean exchanges upon America, and ul- timately, in our own case, through the collapse of the gold standard and the re-establishment of a depreciated and inconvertible paper currency. If the problem is as acute as Sir George Paish indicates America will find herself in the moral and material dilemma of having to chose between forcing Europe to return to the system of de- preciated and unstable paper currencles, or re- moving her own tariff barriers, or forgoing some of her claims to interest. But there is another problem, similar in kind, which may demand settlement first. That is the problem of how Germany is to finance her increased reparation payments in a BEurope which is as reluctant to (Manchester, Sir George Paish sy upon Oxford in-|* Iap In former days Girls looked But now They all frills; note, chills, ¥ look all Never Has Any Good Gossip 1ything but remarked the Missus “Huh!” rctorted her husband, always wondered why she ney was popular with you ladies ot the sewing circle,” Never Survive That He visited Chicago and Wrote he was taken for a ride: But when he did get home alive His friends all knew that he had lied No Brains “Ile boasts that he always what le thinks.” “Wwell, 'if I were he I'd ‘b» ashamed to let others see how Jii- | tle thinking 1 did Another Celebrity Lide Phy lives in Los Yep, found her in the license column, too.
