" V- Friday, February 5, 1932 Curfew Law Needed The town of Boone, North Carolina, has taken a step that will do the young folks of that town much good. Children under 14 years of age will have to be at home by 9 o'clock at night, unless accompanied by an adult. If thsi town should do the same thing, people would be able to sleep We would have fewer fail ures at school. Children would not be so hard to get up mornings, and mothers and fathers would not suffer so much uneasiness if the children would come home, get their lessons and go to bed, as they now do. Children from about 10 to 16 in this town are heard on the streets yelling and skating until a late hour nearly every night in the week. It would be a fine thing for the town, and especi ally for the children themselves, if they could be run in at the proper hour every night. If the parents do not understand the need for it, then the town should look afer it. For it will help our educational system and probably save some prison sentences in the future. » 1 Need of More Spankings • - We read that four youths, all of them under 20 years of age, held up an Ohio bank and looted its coffers of $4,000 in cash, making their escape in an automobile. All four of the robbers were wearing overalls and the only description the 12 persons who watched the robbery could give police was that the bandits were between 12 and 20 years old. More and more is youth being involved in the major crimes which frequently stir some community into a frenzied man hunt and shock the nation with their daring, and, in some cases, brutality. Home training and discipline must have been lack ing in the lives of the four Ohio bank robbers. Then natural tendencies toward adventure and impetuosity, their temper and their choice of companionships have probably gone unchecked by indifferent |>arents. It's a funny thing, but some parents never realize tbis until the regrettable and unforgivable has hap penied, 'and it is to late. Those Ohio kids should have had more spankings during their young lives.Mew ton Daily News. .'' '• Unnecessary Speed Trying to go too has done more to wreck our business than anything else. Hundreds of thousands have been killed by trying to travel too fast* Millions have bankrupted them selves by trying to get rich too fast. And, in fact, being too fast is dangerous to our morals and char acter. Still we rush. Our government listens to the whims of the people for more speed. In former days, a month from Maine to a week from Raleigh to Washington was quite satisfactory. Then we got to speeding up and are now linking the Great Lakes and the Gtflf by palatial trains in 24 hours. But we are crying for more. We want instantan eous service. We are crying for the quickest air mail possible. Congress listens to the whims of foolish people, combined with the greediness of airplane and motor manufacturers, for quick service, and rushes on with a service that costs more than the government or the users are able to bear. No wonder the government has a deficit and the N people go bankrupt. They are getting and demand ing more than is reasonable. It is foolish feqd there is no reason for rushing things faster other than tsplease a fickle mind and satisfy a morbid appetite for more speed. We can see no good reason for the government ■pending large sums of mony to speed up the mails j a few hours, when everybody would be as well off if they are carried by the regular method, which is already fast and cheap. * . The Borrowing Season Folks are beginning to talk about borrowing money. They had better be talking about paying back what they have already borrowed. It is the only way for a fellow to stiffen up his credit. Of course, it is all right for a person to borrow money so he can live. But it is a dangerous thing to borrow money to make money. Ftople who want to borrow and can't at least have one consolation—They will not haveto pay it back, ■ft** _ - •* publish so avmiv Speaks for Itself News and Observer. Innocent American investors who bought certain foreign securities in the belief that they were M good as gold already know the sad story. Even casual newspaper readers may have gathered a smattering of the ways of imperialistic finance as revealed before recent committee hearings In Wasb ' ington. The Nation has compiled a summary of the most important loans made to Latin American gov ernmerfts in the last few years with enlightening ref erences to immensely valuable concessions to Ameri can big business which followed the loans almost without exception. The summary speaks for itself: BOLIVIA I In 1924 the Equitable Trust Company, a Rocke ' feller controlled institution® floated Bolivian bonds to I tht extent of $29,000,000 on the American market. The loan is now in default. A few weeks later, the Standard Oil Company of j New Jersey, also controlled by Rockefeller, secured ! a roncession for 1,000,000 hectares of petroleum lands in Bolivia. In 1928, Dillon, Rean, and Company floated a $22,000,000 bond issue in the United States. These bonds are now in default. Out of this amount, $5,060,000 went to Vickers, Ltd., as payment for arms and ammunition, while $1,500,000 went for the building of military roads near the Paragdayan border. BRAZIL In 1929 the National City Company sold to the American investing public $8,500,000 of bonds for the State of Minas Geraes, Brazil. In the same year the American and Foreign Power Company, subsidiary of the Electric Bond and Share Company, acquired the electric power, light, and street railway properties serving Bello Horizonette, capital of Minas Geraes. COI/Olf BIA In 1931 the Tropical Oil Company and the Andean Pipe Line Company, l>oth controlled by Standard Oil I of New Jersey, advanced $1,000,000 each to the Co lombian government. During the same year a suit against them.in the Supreme Court of Colombia was dropj)ed. . In 1930 the National City Bank arranged a S2O,- ' 000,000 credit with the president-elect of Colombia. The American minister to Colombia, Jefferson Caffrey, participated in the deal. Colombia in return was to : pass certain legislaton required by the bankers. A year later—June, 1931—the National City Bank withheld the last $4,000,000 installment of the $20,- 000,000 credit until after the Barco concession, a rich oil field, owned by the Mellon Gulf interests, was ap- I proved by the Colombian Congress. During this per- J iod of delay President Olaya sent telegrams to the J State Department reminding it that he was fulfilling his part of the deal by settling the Barco concession. CUBA ° Gerardo Machado, prior the presidency, represented the Electric Bond and Share Securities Company as its agent in negotiating concessions in Cuba. After President Machado's inauguration he caused to be introduced in the Cuban Congress a bill giving the Havana Electric and Railways a lease, in per |)etuity, on the Havana power system and its street railways. Another bill sponsored by him remitted a bout $1,000,000 in taxes to the company. The Chase National Bank, operating through the son-in-law of President Machado, floated a $100,000,- 000 loan for Cuba in 1929. A large part of the proceeds of the loan was paid to Warren Brothers for the construction of the Cuban National Highway. CHILE The National Cit, Company in 1929 sold a bond issue of $32,000,000 to the American public for the Lautaro Nitrate Company, Ltd. In 1929 Guggenheim Brothers secured control of the Lautaro Company. In 1929 the American and Foreign Power Com- I pany negotiated what amounted to a monopoly power concession for a large number of Chilean municipali ties. When the contract came before President Ibanez for approval, he denounced it publicly as unfair and discriminatory and canceled the contract. Julius G. Lay, counselor of the American Embassy, then conferred with the representatives of the National City Bank regarding the restriction of Chilean credit, and safesequently both Lay and Ambassador Culbert son suggested to the Chilean government that can cellation of the contract would cut off Chilean loans. The contract was then approved. ' I PERU Seligman and Company, together with the National City Company, floated a $15,000,000 bond issue for Peru in 1927, secured by the Peruvian tobacco mo nopoly. The American Tobacco Company got a contract to operate the monopoly. In 1928 Seligman and Company, together with the j National City Company, floated an $85,000,000 loan to Peru. According to testimony before the Senate committee, a son of President Leguia was paid a "com mission" of $415,000 in connection with this trans action. The Foundation Company of New York got con tracts for certain street-paving and other public works. Seligman and Company floated a $1,500,000 loan for the city of Callao, Peru, in 1928. Frederick Snare and Company received a contract for the construction of new port works at Callao. By supplemental contract Snare and Company undertook the management of the government's port works at Callao in the capacity of agents for the Peruvian gov- ! ernment.
