By the Assoctated Press. ‘WHITE HORSE, Yukon Territory, December 15—A romance flourished in the Far North today as an offshoot to the hazardous business of rescuing lost fiyers. The engagement of Everett Wasson, California fiyer, who recently rescued two aerial passengers from the frozen Wilds of Northern British Columbia, to Miss Florence Gertrude Jones, a hos- pital nurse here, has been announced. Wasson located the plane of Capt. £. J. A, Burke, Canadian fiyer who had been missing more than a month in the Liard River district and later rescued Emil Kading and Robert Marten, the passengers, who with Burke had bandoned the plane. Wasson found ading and Marten guarding the body ®f Capt. Burke, who perished as the ree attempted to mush their way to @id. Kading and Marten hecame pa- Yfents in the hospital where Miss Jones works. * Capt. Burke's body has yet to be re- imoved from where he perished. Was- ®on is awaiting favorable weather to Feturn it to White Horse. « Meanwhile, a plea that the search for bin Renahan, Sam Clerf and Frank tcher, who disappeared while flying %o hunt for the Burke plane, be revived Was before Donald Sutherland, Cana- gan minister of defense. The plea was ade by Mrs. Renahan. Five planes rticipated in the hunt for Renahan, t abandoned the search recently. = The word “teetotal” is said to have first becn used by an English temper- ance advocate in 1333. It was caused ®y his inability to pronounce, without §tammering, the word “total. Ph Massachusetts Senator Says Interest Charge Would Be Trivial to Pay.

BY DAVID I. WALSH, An emergency is defined as “an un- ing for immediate action.” Wars pro- duce emergencies; so do earthquakes, roughts, floods, plagues. ‘Who can doubt but that the sudden denial, whatever may be the causes, to | millions of human beings of the neces- sities of life through unemployment is | an emergency of an extraordinary char- acter? In many respects it is the most de- structive, distressing and dangerous of all emergencies, because it creates a brief, a state of mind that invites the acceptance of dangerous social, political and religious theories that may threaten free institutions. ‘War and most other emergencies are | sustains and even infuses courage, pa- | tience, fortitude and a spirit of self- denial. The fact that in most emer- gencies every one tries to help and that all relief agencies move rapidly, spreads hope and cheer that lessen the gloom. In economic emergencies we move hesi- tatingly and too often are indifferent and even unwilling to recognize exist- | ing conditions. Prompt Action Advised. Governments exist to serve the needs of the people. At no time should the Government respond to the service of rendering relief more promptly, directly and adequately than in that emergency, which is accompaSied with widespread unemployment and an economic debacle that embraces all the ills of other emer- gencies, but which lacks the sustaining spirit on endurance and patrictism that is concomitant to other crises During the World War we created a debt of approximately $26,000,000,000 for winning the war—of conquering that great emergency. The present economic emergency will necessitate large expenditures upon the part of the Federal Government—as it has already required large expenditures on the part of municipalities and States—if the Federal Government recognizes, as it should, its obligation to serve the peo- ple’s needs in a grave emergency. Fortunately, at the very time when there is more unemployed and more real distress among the masses, money is more plentiful and cheaper than ever before. Only recently the Government borrowed money for 13; per cent. Would Borrow Billion. To my mind the Federal Government should meet the present emergency by borrowing a billion dollars—if that amount be necessary—on a bond issue that would, be tax exempt, carrying serial payments of $100,000,000 each year after the first five years, untli the issue is entirely paid off, which would be at the end of 15 years. This issue of bonds would bear from 2V, per cent to 21; per cent, and being tax exempt could readily be sold under present money conditions. The loan might be termed an “un- employment emergency issue,” the pro- ceads to be used immediately for Federal construction and improvements of a permanent nature throughout the 48 Federal construction and improvements |and for sharing the extraordinary in- | creased welfare work such an amount as would be its proportionate share, ¥4 United States Senator from Massachusetts. | foreseen occurrence or condition call- | state of unrest, uncertainty, worry—in | accompanied with a patriotic spirit that | States, each State to be allotted for | $1,000,000.000 U.

It would stimulate business all along the line, enhearten the business ele- | ment, as well as the real victims of this | emergency, thus giving all courage to | move forward, and finally would give unmistakable evidence that the Gov- ernment of the United States is not | soulless.
