Mr. Hoover's overstatement of the estimated public debt as of next June 30 to the extent of nine billion dollars is a fair example of their capabilities. His solemn warning to the Young Republicans of the Pacific States that the most resourceful country in all history could not possibly liquidate its obliga- tions except by outright repudiation, inflation or revolution may conceivably be condoned in the case of an aspirant for the Presidency who has had slight, if any; contact with publie affairs. But his hearers were conscious of the fact that for about 15 years he had been ip high office in Washington, 12 of them at the Cabinet: table and four years at HN H. G.

Wells, noted English novelist, were Gene Tunney, center, former ‘world heavy- weight champion, and Charles Chaplin, comedian, English N(;Vélist Honored :bltrHollrywoord Party Gene Tunney ad. Hence his knowledge that during a few, |'years of normal times our national debt was reduced | by more than ten billions, despite frequent reduc- tions in the income taxes in the higher brackets, despite the then much heavier interest charges on ty of Messrs. Mellon | the debt and despite the genero: and Mills in restoring to their corporation friends re than four billion already paid into the Treas-| in taxes ept for these known favors, as read on the floor of the House in 1930 and reiter- | ated with notable additions in the Congressional} Record in 1932, the national debt could have been| much furt reduced in preparation for the grand speculative debauch of 1927-29. But when Mr. Ogden Mills and Mr. Chester| Bolton, Chairman of the Republican National Con- jonal Campaign Committee, undertake to strip kin from those recovery agencies of the Roose-| Administration which involve financial man- agement they invariably excite in_informed circles a akin to pathos. Because much of their criticism has' been leveled at emergency cies which actually—of course with the help of a Democratic House of Representatives — were established during the Hoover Administration. These include the Federal Farm Loan Bank Act, passed in July, 1932, and the Reconstruction Finance Corpora- which started operations 13 months before Hoover's retirement. It is interesting to chserve how these Hoover measures which Mr. Roose- in the multiplicity of his problems when he President in March, 1933, did hesitate to embr: in his program. There were only 115 member banks of the Ft‘d-! eral Home Loan System at the beginning of the Roosevelt Administration; today there more than 3,400. It is the largest mortgage, reserve sys- tem in the world and has tremendous value to the public in the abundant mortgage eredit to home owners on reasonable terms. In the three| years since it began operations, the system has strengthened these 3400 private home-financing institutions by expanding their supply of funds for tion, Mr Jjust velt, became not are that purpose by more than a billion dollars to an! approximate three billions. It has helped v materially to make more liberal loaning terms to| home owners. Finally, it has stimulated the adop- tion of the economical, amortized type of long term loans by all types of private lending insti- tutions, in place of the more expensive short-term home mortgage. Organized with the initial aid of Federal sub- scription to the stock of all 12 Home Loan Banks amounting -to $124,700,000, of which $85,000,000 has been repaid, ultimately the banks will be owned and controlled by the private member financing institutions. Their paid subscriptions to stock already aggregated nearly 24 million on October 21 The story of the phenomenal transition of the RFC from its original sole function first aid to immense corporations to general utility financing works, road and| hatever kind Its latest report as haml of of relief, public cities, school districts, private business and size, is perhaps better known. issued on November 1 covered the month of Sep- tember, during which its disbursements were $54,- 118,581 and its receipts $54,665,041. Loans amounting to § 0,000,000 had been approved, of which $5. 700,000,000 in non-Federal loans had been disbursed and 64 per cent of that amount had been repaid up to September 30. The operating profit of the corporation omr that date stood at $110,000,000, which was characterized by Chairman Jesse H. Jones as more than sufficient to offset probable losses from uncollectable These two along with depression itself, were nheritances from the Hoover loans emergency agencies, the Administration, but that circumstance has not| exempted them from the Old Guard's blanket indictment. “Morally Obligated” (Richmond Times-Dispatch.) Fifty other nations are united in the most heartening evidence of collective action in the history of the world, and it is unthinkable that the United States will permit the effects of that action to be largely nullified by the greed of our manu- facturers and exporters. But it is not only because we are morally obligated that we should put a stop to shipments of war materials to Italy at the earliest possible moment. That action is dictated as well by considerations of self-interest “A Chinaman’s chance” now applies in China —(Detroit News.)

HAPPY ' The Empire extends congratula- tions and best wishes today, their birthday anniversary, to the follois-| ing: DECEMBER 26 J. M. Sharples William Rhodes Frank Varlen Esther Davis Birdie Jensen Margaret Clark - e o s e i 20 YEARS AGO ; DECEMBER 26, 1915 Karl Helfrich, secretary of the Dr. German Treasury, estimates the cost of the World war to all belligerents was $80,000,000 a day, a yearly sum of $40,000,000,000, an amount equal to half of the total valuation of pub- lic and private wealth of France be- fore the war. The Ford Peace Expedition was breaking up, with Henry Ford, ill with pneumonia, enroute back to| America, William Jennings Bryan refusing to join the party, and the till-remaining emmisaries stymied in Stockholm, unable to agree on modes of procedure. More desertions were expected momentarily. It was announced the expedition would be continued under the auspices of the Women'’s Peace Association. Visitors flocked to Juneau dur- ing the Christmas celebration, ho- tels being crowded and all available rooms in boarding houses taken.| Every stage, ferry and boat leaving Juneau today was loaded with men returning to their work in the mines of the vicinity, although many of them still remained in the city. ‘The city police officers were kept busy separating would-be fighters and sending drunks about their busi- ness, but on the whole it was a very quiet Christmas, considering the po- lice statement that there was more drunkenness about town than for :everal years. The very Rev. R. J. Crimont led mass in the Roman Catholic church, and the choir was composed of Miss | Crystal Snow, Mrs. George Simp- kins, Mrs. Guy McNaughton, Mrs. J. G. Valentine, Mrs. D. J. Hickey, M. A. Snow, T. J. McCant, Walde- mar Enberg. The steamer Northwestern am'ivod1 in Gastineau Channel about 9 o'¢lock Christmas Eve, with a large ship- ment of mail for Juneau, excepting Eastern mail, which was left at Se- attle. This was the last mail to reach Juneau, and the post office was open | for two hours on Christmas Day. Weather: Maximum, 33; minimum, Horoscope “The stars "acline but do not compel” FRIDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1935 Men may find this a puzzling and vexatious day, according to astrol- ogy. There may be a tendency to contemplate the bills that must be paid the first of the year. Merchants and manufacturers now will meet confusing and uncertain conditions affecting financial mat- ters, but the seers assure them that the new year is to bring them good fortune. This is a day for postponing ini- tiative and for delaying important decisions. Employees may be irritat- and indifferent, due to holiday s. Patience is enjoyed ‘Women are subject to benefic as-| pects under this rule of the stars which should bring them much joy. Love affairs may be uppermost in the minds of girls while older wom- en will be concerned with the wel- fare of their families. Although it is Friday this is read as an auspicious wedding day, for mercenary motives will not be prom- inent and romance will dominate. Regrets should be banished and the mind should be sternly disci- plined, for wrong thinking and fool- ish ideas will be prevalent. Deceit and secret hostilities are foreseen among members of business | and political organizations. Women“ may be exceedingly troublesome— personal in their points of view| while this rule continues. | Theatres and places of amuse-| ment shouid profit more than usual, | Desire for entertainment will be | widespread and the disposition to| dodge debts may be evident among | persons in many walks of life. Warn- | ing is given that bad habits of evad- " ing obligations which may have been} formed during years of depression will bring serious results. This is to be a changed world, the seers an-| nounce, and human chaff is to be| separated from human wheat. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year in which there may be minor difficulties and ob- stacles to advancement. They should make no changes. Children born on this day probably will be original in their ideas, indus- trious and successful. Subjects of this cign of Capricorn usually are per- cevering and patient. Nicholas J.
