I take issue now with the intelligentsia, that group of intellectuals who say today that we engaged in a common enterprise with the nations of Europe when we entered the World War. Great Britain, at the conclusion of the war, took hundreds of thousands of square miles of ter- ritory and hundreds of thousands of inhebitants. France took Alsace and Lorraine and other territories. Italy took her share of the territories and mples. Territory and peoples were idied about the conference tables. “Yet some Americans have the sub- limated cheek to talk to us of a com- mon enterprise. They say these for- eign nations should have our men and money, too. They look at the rest of us as’ demagogu epithet 6 apply to men who dared to stand foursquare for America.

Senator Johnson quoted Andrew W. Mellon 8s saying in 1927 that the loans. made to muvg‘n mations were really loans made individual American citizens and must be construed as such and not as loans from the American ernment. “What right have you to change this now.” demanded Senator Johnson. With warning finger upraised, John- son told the Senate that “Some way, some day the American farmer and laborer will jump the hurdles and get the same treatment from his Govern- ment as that given the peoples abroad.” He warned the Congress that if the debts of the foreign nations were can- celled, the farmer ami the laborer would demand that their debts too be cancelled and would “wring that rigat from the Government, Constitution or no Constitution.” Debt Principal Canceled. Johnson asserted tHat those who talk of cancellation or revision today “little understand what the debt settlement agreements did” Those settlements, he said, canceled the principal of the obli- gations. So cancellation now is a misnomer,” he continued. “The only question to- day is, Who pays? Shall Europe pay her just obligations or shall America pay Europe’s just obligations. And there ought to be no diffic that question promptly.” Upon looking at the debt settlements, Benator Johnson said. it is found that Great Britain pays on her debt 3.7 per cent annually for 62 years, “and at the end of 62 yea she owes not a dime and the principal is -eliminated.” He said the settiement with France calls for payment of 2.17 per cent ar nually for 62 years, at the end of wi time “Prance is relieved of every penny of principal.” “So the American pecple are paying 4 and a fraction per o on their obli- gations while England is paying 3.7 and France 2.17.” The settlement with Italy, he con- tinued, calls for payment of 113 per oent for 62 years. In these settlements the United States was “generous to a fault” the California Senator declared. Comparing present cconomic conditions here and abroad, Johnson said there is more unemployment in the United States today than the aggregate in Eng- gland, France, Italy and Germany.

Nine persons escaped injury last night when a boiler in the basement of a rooming house at 910 Massachusetts avenue exploded, damaging -the base- ment and first floor and filling the en- tire building with Steam. Those in the house at the time were Frank Pfeifer, 38, unable to walk be- cause of a broken ankle: his wife, Mrs. Frances Pfeifer; their two children, Frank, jr., 6, and Dona, 4; E. C. Pick- ford, J. T. Donohough, Roy Frederick, M. E. Fowler and Miss Jean Simpson. ‘They had justgmoved into the building from another lodging house in the 700 block of Mount Vernon place. The landlady, Mrs. Grace Merry, 1700 block of Massachusetts avenue, had told them, they said, that a fire would be started before they moved in. The gauge on the furnace was covered with dust, however, and, in the opinion of firemen, the required amount of water was not let into the boiler before the fire was started. Walls of rooms in the basement were wrecked and windows of some of the rooms above were blown out. The Pfeifers, hurled to the floor by the con- cussion, were assisted from the building by: passersby. Other occupants of the house also were thrown down by the blast, but were able to make their way to, safety. A small blaze that followed the ex- plosion was quickly extinguished by firemen. J GOV.

THE KveNING STAR, SPANISH CONVICTS Prisoners Know in Advance Where They Will Have to Serve Sentences. By the Associated Press. MADRID.—A new prison code an- nounced by the Department of Justice tells the Spanish lawbreaker just where conviction for his offense will land him. Those serving long terms, for example, may look with certainty to hard labor at El Duese Penitentiary, in the moun- tains of Asturias, or to similar fare at the Cartagena Jail. Gen. Jose Sanjurjo, leader of the unsuccessful revolt of Au- gust 10, 1932, is serving a life sentence at_the former prison. Lesser offenders will be housed in jails at Burgos, Puerto de Santa Maria and Valencia. Women and minor de- linquents will be placed in women'’s jalls and reform schools at Ocana, Alicante, Segovia and Alcala Henares. A sort of old prisoners’ home has been established at the S8an Fernando Prison in Cadiz, Here the republic proposes to gather all male prisoners reaching the age of 70 with six months or more of a sentence to complete. — . Russia has arranged with Switzer- land for the exchange of Soviet gaso- line and coal for 50 carloads of Swiss cheese.
