This sit- ‘uation is made more distressing by the re- ‘placement of So many musicians with sax- ‘ophénists and crooners. “=="A New York poet wonders why there should not be government relief for poets, ,Among several humorous pians he pro- poses is the following: ‘Create a revoly- ing fund of four or five hundred million jollars and buy up the stuff we poets raise sand store it in warehouses—-one in each ifederal reserve district. Some time, when sthings improve, maybe the government twould get some of the fund back again.” . ; One county at least in the United ‘States is in good financial condition, ac- ‘cording to a press dispatch from Canton, «Ga,, which says Cherokee county carried ‘over a cash balance of $104,897 from 1982.

The commission spent ten months in its consideration of the various angles and finally brought in a report in which it recommended that China ard Japan be invited to discuss the matter with an advisory commission of the league, with the idea of having China authorize a Manchurian government, complete treaties with Japan and enlisting the aid of the league in the rebuilding of China. To this report the Japanese representatives took exception, declaring that the report solved none of the present difficulties, that its adoption meant only delay and inaction, and that meanwhile citizens of the Jap- anese nation would be deprived of the pro- tection of their interests, : SENATOR’S EXPENSES been New comment | has in the i Considerable caused by the publication York Times of some items in the expense account of the United States senate for the last fiscal year, including $44,147 for stationery, $64,000 for restaurant meals, $8,000 for barber bills and $6,350 for mineral waters. Minor items include 500 aspirin tab- lets, three pounds of bicarbonate of soda, five gallons of witeh hazel and gmall{ amounts of bromo-seltzer, soda mint tab- lets and medicated alcohol While the amount involved in all these senatorial perquisites is not sufficient to become a matter of national concern, it looks as if bills for purely personal ex- penses might well he paid by the senators themselves. The example of such petty sponging is not inspiring. Referring to the 500 aspirin tablets amount of headache which the senate has eost the country. CANDY AND BOOKS i consumed by the solons, the Times thinks that these “do not represent the total Excepting text-books for school chil- dren, the average American buys less than one book a year, while spending $10 for candy during the same period, according to a recent writer. This statement is somewhat surpris- ing, as is the further fact that among the leading’ nations the United States stands sixth in the number of new books published annually. This refers to separate titles, and not to the total number: printed- Another strange fact in this connec- tion is that Russia leads'in the number of new. titles produced, in a recent year is- suing 86,680, followed in order by Ger- many with 31,000, Japan with 19,967, Great Britain with 13,810, France with 11,992, and the United States with 10,- 153, ‘ INFLATION UNNECESSARY There is much talk today of inflation of the currency. There is some doubt of the need of inflation today. Back in 1929, inflation of the reney might have been the means of stay- ing off the collapse of the stock market. There was not a sufficient supply of currency to carry along the vast amount of credit that has been built up. But with the shrinkage in stock values from $90,000,000,000 to less than $25,- 000,000,000 and the increase in the rency supply of approximately $1,000,- 000,000, it is probable that our currency supply is sufficient for our needs, There is yery little likelihood of the | stock and security values again mounting ; to a total anywhere near the 1929 peak. cur- In the present chaotic condition of af- | fairs it might be well to ponder this para-| graph from Macaulay, the historian. “All; the most noted destroyers and deceivers of j our species, all the founders of arbitrary | governments and false religions, have been extraordinary men, and nine-tenths of the calamities which have befallen the human race had no other origin than the union of high intelligence with low desires,” ‘& week. THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Our Government | —How It Operates By William Bruckart | weemacenecnncucunccnunune TREATY NEGOTIATIONS HE United States and Canada have just lately concluded a treaty that represents an agreement | between our goyernment and that of our neighbor on the north where- by a deep waterway will be con- structed connecting the Great Lakes | 3 and the Atlantic ocean. It is a gi- | gantic engineering project that is contemplated; it has vast potential- ities for our people and their com- merce, and it will stand through the years as a monument to the genius ef two peoples who desire to see opportunities utilized for the good of all, But behind the formal signing of that treaty which took place in the Department of State here in the Capita! eity lies many ramifications and maneuvers, They are called “negotiations” at the end, and they represent ag well as any in history the processes through which na- tions must go in reaching agree- ment on the terms of a contract, for a treaty, afte: all, is only a con- tract, Treaty negotiations, however, are not unlike swapping of horses in the old days. It is a matter of give and take, and each fellow looks out for himself. It seldom takes as much time to accomplish an understanding re specting treaty terms as hag elapsed sinee the deep waterway proposal first was advanced more than fifty years ago, Commercial interests saw the need of it long before our government could be interested in the project. The same was true among the Canadians, except that they did not regard development of the waterway as important until re- cent years because their commerce began expanding later than ours, Yet through. all of those years, two peoples were slowly but surely moving to the point where their governments could agree as to what was necessary in a treaty under which the channel could be con- strneted. There had to be a treaty, of course, because the rights of each nation were tnyolyed and each nation had to give up some of those rights when the contract was made, Active movements by our govern ment, looking to the treaty and the waterway project to be built under its terms, were instituted almost ten years ago, At that time, how- ever, some of the statesmen at the head of the Dominion government were not friendly to the idea. There example, many of the railroads serv-; ing the northern half of the United States and drawing traffic from the regions around and west of the Great Lakes are opposed to the waterway for the very obvious rea- son that they fear it will take away some ‘of their traffic, And so it goes, Opposition and support for the plan may be found everywhere in areas affected by it. From this it is easily deduced that a considerable amount of pre- minary work had to be done to acquaint the peoples of the merit of the project. It has now been formally signed because the ruling political group in Canada believe it is practicable and valuable, and the administra- tion of our government has fostered the idea throughont. But the treaty is not yet opera- tive. It has another stage to pass here and another at Ottawa. While its acceptance by the Dominion gov- ernment is little more than a for- mality, ratification of the agree- ment by the senate of the United States is another matter. The Con- stitation provides for negotiation of the treaty by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the senate. So it has to take a hurdle of some consequence before } it becomes a binding agreement and one that is fully operative, When the President transmits the St, Lawrence waterway treaty to the senate for its consideration, he will send with it a letter from the secretary of state explaining the benefits hoped to be derived. But | the senate will not be contest with that, It will turn the treaty over to its committee on foreign rela- tions, and that group will hold hear- ings to which it will invite spokes- men for the various groups inter. ested in Its ratification or rejection. In addition, it will invite the sec- retary of state and the Amerleas | minister to Ottawa and experts who } participated in the actual writing; of the document to come before it and tell what the treaty does. These men probably will testify in private, | however, for It must be remembered } that all tnternational negotiations | are carried on largely fn seerecy. | If a majority of the committee fa- | « vor ratification, they will vote to| submit ft to the senate with that recommendation, and eventually ac tion is had there, leaving then only was opposition as well among cer tain interests in this country, Fon | West, COP SSOSOCOCOLOSOCCOOCSOSERD Daily Crdss-word Puzzle Seg occovoccegegecogpepeossgnceccccoccapepeepeoees ACROSS 1, Continent ae measure 16.
