Mu-So-Lit Club Contributes. The Mu-So-Lit Club sends §70 to be divided among Opportunities 7, 11and 18. In acknowledging a report sent to the club regarding the families to whom it contributed last year, J. C. Burlls, secretary-treasurer of the club, writes: “The Mu-So-Lit Club thanks you for the information, and it gives me great pleasure to state that we are able again to transmit our check for $70. to be divided among the oppor tunities now open, especially those colored families needing assistance.” One opportunity giver, signing him- gelf “An Old T. B.” sends $5 for Op- portunity No. 5 and this encouraging message to the father of the family, “Tell him to ‘cure’ for all he is worth, and it will pay him in the end. I am earning more now than before I took the ‘cure”.” Policy Is Indorsed. Indorsements of the society’'s policy of sending regular reports of progress to opportunity givers continue to be received. With this year's contribu- tion E. B. W. writes, “The letters re- ceived from time to time from secre- taries of the Associated Charities are gratifying; information concerning the families helped.” Although Opportunities Nos. 9 and 14 are now closed, most of the re- maining families, all having children, are equally in need of assistance, and are vet a long way from their goal. Contributions v be sent to the Associated Charities, Social Service House, 1022 Eleventh street or to the office of The Star. OPPORTUNITY NO. 1. CRIPFLED AND IN CONSTAN: Crippled to the point of total physi- cal disability, the father of this family of wife and three children is unable to provide for them any longer. “There is nothing but pain,” said the man to the social worker as she found him trying to divert himself as best he could. The doctors cannot say what his chances of recovery are. These will doubtless be improved if the man's mind can be relieved and if he can be assured that his wife and children will not suffer. Twenty-eight dollars a week is needed for this pur- pose, as there are no other resources and all savings have been exhausted during the man’s illness. This is $1,456 for the mext 12 months.

When this family first came to the ®ttention of the Associated Charities they were living in an insanitary shack. The children showed the ef- fect of a long period of underfeeding. The school attendance of the older ones was irregular, with the usual re- sult that they were far behind in their grades. Since coming under the care of the Associated Charities mat- ters have improved. The family is properly houged, the children of school age attend their classes regularly and elready show the good effects of suffi- cient food and hygienic living. The father is serving a penitentiary sen- tence, leaving behind seven children under working age. The estimated need on a carefully worked out budget s a minimum of §32 a week, or $1,664 for a year.

OPPORTUNITY NO. 5. TUBERCULOSIS EXACTS ITS PRICE. $1,245.50 The father of this foreign family is making a strong fight to “‘come back." He was persuaded to take the “cure"” for tuberculosis if the Associated Chari- tles would look after his family. The mother s herself just recovering from a serious operation which she bravely underwent upon the doctor's recom- mendation. Her neighbors, many of whom are also foreigners, but with small incomes, are interested in the welfare of the wife and children and lend a helping hand. Twenty dollars a week is needed until the father is able to come home and take up the family support, which he will have to do very gradually untii his_health is fully restored.

The mother takes in washing, besides caring for her nine children, whose ages range from 6 months to 15 years. The oldest girl does her bit, working after school hours and on Saturdays and gives all her earnings to her mother In spite of every effort and the mother’s thrift (the father declares ‘she certal.nly can make a dollar go a long way"), the physiclan says that six of the children are anemic, due to lack of sufficient and proper food.

Deserted by a faithless husband, now awaiting trial for bigamy, this forsaken mother is pleading to be allowed to keep her children.

He had a steady job and the family (colored) had a nice home. After his sudden death and with no money coming in, the mother, stunned by her loss, gradually sold her furni- ture in order to feed and clothe her five children, between the ages of 5 and 13. Now their home is a sad con- trast to what it was when the father was living. The mother needs an operation, but is afraid to leave her children to go to the hospital, for fear they will be taken away. Twenty-one dollars a week Is needed to restore this home to something of its former condition, or $1,092 for 1927. Previously acknowledged, $125.50.

When the father of this family came across the sea to the United States he had visions of the promised land. He learned a trade, married, and his dream was indeed a reality. Then business became slack, two of the four children developed tubercu losts, his wife fell ill, and now the man himself is told by the doctor that he can work only a little or he will break down entirely. But there are the sick wife and children needing extra nour- ishment, and the man himself may have to go to the hospital. At least $25 a week Is needed right now, and more may be needed if the man has to stop work entirely. This is $1,300 for the year, and it will take that long before the family can get on its feet again. Previously acknowledged, $225. K. and K., $5; Mrs. S. B. F., §10; J. D.

Sick and yet working until ed with bed and perhaps total disability, the father of this colored family of wife and seven children, all under working age, has struggled hard to meet his responsibilities and to keep his home together. Unable longer to do laboring work, he has fitted up a little shop in the front room of his home, where he takes in repair work and so earns a few dollars as he is able. Until the children are old enough to earn, outside help is needed. Twenty dollars a week, or $1,040, is asked for the next year for this family of nine. Previously acknowledged, $87.

N, Total to date i WAR DEBT REVISID POSSIBLE IN FUTURE Officially U. S. Remains Firm on Policy—What May Be Done Is Uncertain. BY DAVID LAWRENCE. Although the proposal made by the 40 members of the faculty of Colum- bia University for international conference on debts falls on deaf ears at this time, the significance of the move did not escape attention. For the sentiment of Congress is expressed by the remark of Senator Capper of Kansas that nobody knows what might be advisable a few years hence with reference to adjustment of the debt question. Many reasons are advanced to reject the Columbia proposal at this time, mostly that the French debt agree- ment has not yet been approved the Senate or by the French Parlia- ment and that any move from Wash ngton would certainly delay ratifica- tion in Paris. It is recognized, how- ever, that what the sponsors of the proposal had in mind was a softening of the harsh attitude which American public opinlon is presumed to hold with respect to the debts in the hope that the French Parliament might not be disposed to look at future re vision as hopeless. Officials ard Comment. An unofficial body can say what it wishes on political or economic 5 tions, and no matter how s members of Congress or tion officials might be with some of the arguments advanced for debt ad- ment, they hardly would deem it screet to s no Perhaps the whole point of view of the executive branch of the Govern- ment can be summed up in the phrase “Capacity to pay.” Time and again sfficials have pointed out that this phrase was not merely used as a basis for discussion in making the debt settlements, but in the final agreements, so that Europe need not be concerned about the prababilities of revision if that should become ab- solutely_essential. In other words, American officials take the position that if Europe can- not pay 10 or 15 years hence, and it is proved that h apacity to pay h: been overestimated, then the United States would be bound for business if not for moral reasons to ise the agreement The clamor for revision, however, is not expected to wait upon the de- velopment of an emergency in the budget finance of the debtor coun- tries. Buropean publicists and econ- omists already are busy pointing out that the debt settlements are unsound and should be revised. To the ex- tent that such line of thought ap peals to American economists and ed- ucators, as evidenced in the petition of the Columbia University faculty, will the subject be agitated from this vide of the Atlantic Opinion for Debt Revision. The incident indicates clearly that of American opin- led to ask for re- sion of the debt agreements. Can- on appears to have been aban- loned as an objective in favor of re ion mostly on the theory that the t settlements themselves recog- ize the idea of 2 reduction from the M principal and interest combined. The objection here to an interna- tional conference on debts is that the United States would stand alone be- ore the debtor nations and that it would not be a conference, but a uni- lateral attack on American policy. Under the circumstance, if revision is deemed wise at some future time, the United States would rather deal with each’ case on its merits. When the French settlement is ap- proved, a resumption of the discussion of pooling debts is bound to arise. Rernard M.

MINNEAPOLIS, December 21.— A University of Minnesota psychol- ogist is seeking to determine whether learning can be acquired in sleep. Prof. W. T. Heron is conducting the experiment on himself. He has rigged up a telephone with an elec- trically driven phonograph, so that ~sounds are conveyed to his ears by headphones. The contrivance is so arranged that when he releases his grip on an automatic switch, as falls asleep, the phonograph starts operating softly. “Whenever I awaken, the renewal of the grip on the switch will im- mediately stop the machine,” he said. “In this way I will be sure that I will not hear the material in the waking state. “'It does not seem to be beyond the realm of posibility that the hu- man being may learn, at least to some extent, while asleep.” FALL AND SINCLAIR PLEA TAKEN UNDER COURT ADVISEMENT fect any legal rights of a defendant that there is no merit in the conten- tion here made. That statute may involve a question on which, in a proper case to which such witness is a party court may have to pass It has no place here and at this time “The mere fact that the act gives the Government special powers to compel the attendance of witnesses does not violate any constitutional guaranty of the defendants. They have all the power to compel the at- tendance of witnesses that is guaran- teed by the Constitution. That the Congress has determined to give ad- ditional or greater power to the Gov- ernment does not diminish the de fendants’ power. “This is a procedural and adminis- trative matter which is within the dis cretion of Congress. In such matters the Government may be given rights that its citizens do not have, withcut denla] of due process or equal protec tion of the law."” No new and heavy placed on the defendants by these acts of Congress, say the Govern ment prosecutors, nor do these en actments single out the accused by special legislation. The Constitution, they declare, does not limit the legis- lative control of remedies and modes of procedure, which do not affect mat- ters of substance. The due process e. they assert, does not guaran- tee any particular form or method of procedure, Special counsel contend that the motion to quash comes too late, as defendants knew all the fac as the indictment was found 3 quote opinions holding that dilatory motions filed within a month after in- dictment were too late and assert that the same rule applies to the motion to quash, which they also characterize as_dilator. The validity of the Walsh act doing away with special eppeals in been up- held by the United States Supreme Court, the brief points out, and so there is no merit in that point, it is asserted. burdens are in mind a plan whereby the war debts shall be considered on a purely “economic basis and a separation ef- fected between the money spent for ammunition and that spent for com- mercial purposes. Doubtless there will be many suggestions from the banking world in the hope that some plan may be devised which will do for the general debt situation what the Dawes plan did for German rep- arations.

ROME, December : government consider: prising and uncalled for" Pope Plus’ pointed criticism of m's religlous policies contained in yvesterday’s allo The Italian ange, sur informed by a government spok The papal declaration, which is felt to have eliminated any hope of a speedy reconciliation between church and state in Italy, came as such a shock to political circles generally that the greatest reticence is being observed, while the newspapers have not printed a single word of comment. Incidents of violence against Catho- lic individuals and organizations, upon which the Pontiff based his criticism, it was declared, are definitely thing of the past, having occurred as a spontaneous and momentary reaction lasting for but a few days after the most recent attempt on Mussolinl’s life. Quiet Since That Event. Since then, it was asserted by the government spokesman, nothing has occurred to occasion the Pope's re- marks, while the government, in addi- tion. has maintained and intends to continue maintaining its_policy of friendliness to religion, and has taken the severest steps possible to prevent the recurrence of excesses. “The government, therefore, finds the Pope's attitude strange and un- called for.” the informant of the As- sociated Press said. “It fails to un- and the Holy See's constant and ent resurrection of a matter ch is definitely closed.” The true source of the Holy See's iid the informant, lies in ion of the growing strength 's organizations for youths - boys of 8 to 14, - youths of 14 to 18. ‘These organizations, it was said, are feared by the Vatican as anti- religious, monopolistic and strong competitors of Catholic youth organi- zations such as the Catholic Boy Scouts. Such fear is unfounded, the govern- ment spokesman said, as will be dem. onstrated by statutes governing the Balillas and Vanguardists, which it fs probable that Premier Mussolini will publish in the near future as an in. direct answer to the implications con- tained in the Pope's allocution. Fascism intends to continue to strengthen its training of the youth of the nation, but feels that Black Shirt boys, instead of clashing with Catholic boys, can live on terms of friendliness, provided the latter scru- pulously steer clear of politics, the spokesman stated. The remnants of the influence of the Popular-Cathollc party, which for- merly was one of the strongest antf- regime organizations, he added, wil} not be tolerated, nor will the cloak of Catholicism protect any other type of machination against Fascism. Although the pontiff praised Pre. mier Mussolini personally with ums usual warmth, he condemned the con- ception of the state shown by certain Fascist elements in his allocution. Pope’s Views Presented. “We declare pointedly,” he sald, “that so far as religious interests, which are the supreme interests of the people, are concerned, the faith in the force of right, in the vigor of laws and in the efficacious good will of the authorities is not yet complete or se- cure. “It seems that an obscure menace confirmed by clouds of suspicion, in- terferences and difficulties hovers over the activitips of the ‘Catholic Ac- tion Organization,’ which is the apple of our eve. It seems the task of the educator of Christian youth, which is an important part of our divine mis- son, is endangered “It seems there is a conception of the state which cannot be Cathollc, which absorbs and monopolizes every- thing, which makes citizens believe the state end is again being empha- sized. It seems the ministers of re ligion are treated In a fashion un worthy of their high calling. “It seems the laws and provisions in themselves good, are being enfor and interpreted in many cases by men who, under new names and new ban- ners, remain enemies to soclety and religion.” P That chess was played in Western Europe in the tenth century fs indi cated by bone chessmen recently found in that distri The terms of Morris Plan Loans are simple and practical and fair—it is not necessary to have had an account at this Bank to borrow.
