They are Repre. i sentatives John H. Kerr, of the Second, and Charles L. Abernethy, < of the Third district. Representa- 1 tive Robert L. Doughton. of the 1 E'ghth, is leading the fight for it. 1 Judge Kerr summed up his rea- ' sons for opposing it as follows: 1 "The moratorium which President Hoover has risked Congress to ratify and thereby suspend the coL lection of all debts due the United States by European nations for one year from December 15th, 1931, is indefensible as a government 1 policy. J | Protects Big Banks 1 j "The facts disclosed that this 1 rronosition was conceived by cer. j tain Republican office holders and leaders with the primary purpose of subserving the larger banks in the United States, which banks the European industrials owe about as i much as the several European govI emments owe our government. The very resolution itself makes sure that only the United States governj ment shall waive its right to coL I lect for one year what is due us | under a most liberal contract of settlement. The banks are left free I to enforce and collect every cent I due them. I think it fair to state, that I believe those who negotiated this proposed compact thought there I might be a favorable reaction that (would help the economic condition in this country as well as in Europe. No such reaction can possibly come about through a matter which is so fraught with selfishness and | so unfair to the tax payers of the United States. American People Bearing Burden 'Number of the European nations had their money ready and werg prepared to pay what was due us on the fifteenth of December, 1931. The tax payers of the United . States are new bearing the tax burI nf tha European war. Every w - _ cent of this money owed us by our Euiopean allies, came out of the pockets of the American tax payer. In the settlement of these debts we have been more generous than; ary other nation could be or would have been. This is the beginning! and a part of one stupendous ef_| I (Continued on page 8) 'i tip II; WARRENTON, COUNTY Ol RRY CI c~ &: / _/ f i % Judge Taylor Has Short?

IS EVIDENT HOWARD F. JONES, SR. Realizing the condition in which 3ur land owners find themselves jecause of the panic throughout the Jnited States?Congressman Kerr nas introduced the following Bill 'Fcr The Relief of Delinquent Farmers and Land Owners who are indebted to The Federal Land Banks, and Joint-stock Land Banks rf The United States". It is quite evident that some postponement of these installments of nterest (amortization) must be arranged by the Government or thousand of our land owners will lose their homes. A reading of the Bill vill shew that its purpose is to postpone these interest payments for a period of three years, then take the imount of these postponed installnents and spread it out throughout the remaining years the mortgage aas to run?making only a small increase of the payments, rather than have to return it all at the end of three years. These returned paynents will be immediately returned to the Federal Treasury with the nterest charge (of course there will oe interest on this money used by land owner, for it takes the place cf the money he would have had to pay,) and the Government loses nothing. Any Plan that "does not make it mandatory upon the part of the Bank to carry these defaulted payments for three years is a sham and a subterfuge. The Bill also has the provision that land that has been foreclosed and is in the hands of the banks, may be redeemed. There has been much interest in the "stabilization" of the Federal Land Bank bonds, and this seems to be the Plan of the Federal Farm Loan Board (not Federal Farm Board)?to use the money appropriated to stabilize the bonds, and the land cwner get the! loans at the option of the Bank. Democracy doesn't believe in the crumbe falling from above if and when there are any. Democracy believes in helping the man who will build upward. As a distinguished gentleman of New York says: "To my way of thinking, if there is no default in the payment cf interest on these bonds, and they are "Tax free," and bear between five and six per cent interest and are secured by real estate appraised at half of its value, then why should the bond holder (Continued on Page 8) fell r, DECEMBER 25, 1931 [AS | re j I Says He Should *Be Wearing' Crown Of British Kin* DALLAS, Texas, Dec. 21.?A 69 y.2ar_old Spanish-American Wa veteran said today he should b wearing the Crown of Britain in stead of King George V., but tha he is willing to settle his claim fo a pension.

Change In Service At Episcopal Churcl The children's service which wa announced for Sunday night, De( 27, at the Episcopal church will no be held at that time due to the fac that children of the Methodis church will hold service at tha time, the Rev. B. N. de FoeWagnei Episcopal minister, announced thi week.

A- ' I Donations of Old Clothing Bring Joy, Miss Leach Says Claiming that it would make any ; one happy to see how glad people ' are to get second hand clothes, Miss > Lucy I. Leach, county welfare ofj ficer for Warren, writes briefly this : week thanking citizens of the town | fcr their liberal contributions and i explaining the manner in which | these clothes are distributed, i "Those interested in helping the [ unfortunate in our midst greatly f appreciate the many good second ' hand clothes we have recently re' ceived. These clothes will be a great i help in keeping children in school [ after Christmas. "Since the county is well organized it is not hard to place these j clothes where they are most need[ ed and also we can avoid duplica[ tion. A careful record is kept in office of supt. of Public Welfare } of things given out, to whom given ^ and the date of giving. The chair| man and teachers are helping to | place clothes to the best possible I advantage. | "One woman came in and said I she wanted shoes for eleven childi ren, that her children were 'bare[ footed and naked'. I told her it r would be impossible to give one I I family eleven pair shoes but that, [ we would try to fit shoes to those! who had to go to school, and that ? the others would have to take turns | going out of doors." 1 "It would make any one happy t to see how glad people are to get these second hand clothes." j Says No Child [ Should Be Forgotten On Christmas Day i . The following clipping by Bruce ? Catton in the Lynchburg News was | handed to us by R. T. Watson, \ piesident of the Citizens Bank. We f- take pleasure in reproducing it in - the hope that its message will bear fruit: I Most youngsters beueve tnat mere is a benevolent old saint somewhere ' far to the north, who locks upTiis a toy factory cn Christmas Eve and travels around the world with a - bottomless pack of toys. Children's r eycs hold a little of the glory of the e Bethlehem star-shine as they hang u up their stockings on the magic t night. Maybe they are hungry. Cold r too, perhaps. And disappointed. But Santa Claus won't fail them, n they tell themselves. lf They remember that he has stood f-|on the corner and asked them exacte' ly what they wanted. He has pock11 j filed their letters. They saw him do s' it. Secure in their dreams, they go to sleep. 1 But a great many children are a going to have lumps in their throats v. hen they waken unless we get - busy. They are going to be hurt and baffled when they find limp d; stockings where they had expected d! them to be so plump and gay and L j merry. They are going to bury e their heads in the blankets to crush the sobs while they wonder why 0 they were forgotten. And ever after the tinsel gleam w.ll mean nothing. A world in 1* which Santa Claus will take all of ? his toys to somebody else can never be quite so lovely to a little boy or girl agam. Tt- is un to us to see that no wist. _v ? ?r- -- ? ful youngsters wonder why Santa ^ Claus crossed their addresses from his calling list. If we interpret the spirit of giving as we shouM e-,ery , stocking will be fat an every'child's 't' voice will be as liltmg as a Cliristk mas carol. t The large number of children who t are dependent on our generosity ( for their faith in Christmas brings s i back the thought that this is a season of giving, not of exchanging. 11 The wise men didn't give their gifts e to each other. They brought them t to one who co didn't repay them in - like coin. >1 It takes such a little to make a 11 child happy. A doll or a horn or spinning top and a candy cau for - the top of the stocking. But he ' v on't forget. After a while when he is older and understands that Santa CJaus is only the spirit of Christmas, he will remember gratefully that life didn't fail him. He won't 1 be afraid to trust it again. But if his stocking is bare, not all the tinsel glamour of all the evergreen trees in the whole wide * world can ever quite bring back the * charm. \ SON BOEN t Born to Mr. and Mrs. M. J. Davis ?

W ' - -1 >?MOST OF THE NEWS HI ALL THE TIME 1 ' NUMBER 52 WHISKEY CASES LEAD IN COURT More Than 100 Cases Heard By Judge Taylor During Year, Files Show ASSAULT RANKS SECOND More than 100 cases have been disposed of by Judge W. W. Taylor in Recorder's court during the year 1931, according to a review of the files of The Warren Record which . newspaper has each week covered the prccedings before the Bar of Justice. In a large majority of the cases, more than one defendant was involved, but they were tried under one count. Violation of the Eighteenth Amendment was the common cause that led the wayward into the toils of the law. This alone, according to The Record, was the immediate cause of bills of indictment being drawn against eight white men and 29 negroes. Whiskey, the files reveal also played a part in the other cases, such as reckless driving, assault, and larceny. Assault came second among the causes for those violating the statutes to be brought before Judge Taylor. Eighteen bills of indictments were drawn against negroes and eleven against white people as the result of affrays. Larceny came third as a common cause of trouble, with six whites and fourteen negroes being tried as the result of stealing. Three white people and one negro were tried for giving bad checks. Negrces and whites were equally guilty of non-support, there being bills of indictments drawn against two of each race. Reckless driving was the count on which four negroes were tried. No white men were tried for this offense. One white man was tried for skinninff hrvnrrf hill ond r?np nnurn was tried for abandoment of infant. , Trespass was responsible for four of the cases, two of them among members of the white race and two among negroes. Three negrces were tried for carrying concealed weapons. There were no white cases of this nature. Fornication and adultry were the charges on which four negroes were tried. One white man was tried for leaving crop. Negroes escaped this charge. Of the 108 cases tried, negroes were responsible for 76 and whites fcr 32. Convictions were obtained in 87 of the 108 cases. Of the 32 whites tried, eight were found not guilty, and of the 76 negroes tried, thirteen were found not guilty. New Air Line Wants Data On Weather Showing one of the different ways in which aviation is being developed, a new express and freight air transport is asking the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture to provide special reports on weather conditions, to coincide with their schedule between New York and Jacksonville, E. A. Skillman, local weather forecaster for the Eastern Air Transport, Inc., announced this week. Mr. Skillman said they are at present delivering nothern products to the holiday trade in Florida and on return schedule are delivering choice perishable Florida delicacies to the caterers to New York society for delivery the same night. This new line is not connected with the Eastern Air Transport, Inc., which handles passengers and mail, it was said. Governor Blackwood Loses His Shirt Tail COLUMBIA, S. C., Dec. 21.?GOV. Ira C.

KILLS LARGE HOG Joe King of Wise knows how to pack flesh on a pig, according to information furnished this week by C. R. Perkinson.
