News Review of Current
Events the World Over
Congress Votes Independence for the Philippines Over
Hoover's Veto?President Again Calls for
Balancing of the National Budget.
By EDWARD W. PICKARD
SOMETIME between 1043 and 104(1 I
the American flag will be lowered
In the Philippine Islands and the nn
tlves of the archipelago whom we have
. fostered and protect
ed since 1S0S tvili be
left to their own re
sources. The United
States senate, follow
ing the example of
the house of repre
sentatives, overrode
President Hoover's
veto of the Independ
ence bill by a vote of
06 to 20. The argu
ments against the
8en. J. H. measure, presented by
Lewis the Chief Executive
and based on the
opinions of Secretaries Stimson, llur
ley. Chnpln and Hyde, were rejected
Therefore the act will go Into effect,
provided the Philippines legislature
accepts It within one year. Dispatches
from Manila Indicate that It may be
accepted, although It Is far from be
Ing what the lenders there desired.
They assert that In passing It con
gress Is actuated by selfish motives,
and In a way this was borne out by
the argument of Senator James Ham
ilton Lewis of Illinois In his argument
in favor of the measure.
"The United States occupies the
place of danger today," he said. "It
Is the most Imperiled of any nation In
the world."
He reviewed the grievances held
agnlnst the United States by Russia,
China, and Japan. He predicted that
Krltish Interests In the Orient and the
French possession of Indo Chinese ter
ritory would make them cold to any
plea for help should this country be
come Involved In a trans-Pacific con
flict. He claimed to sec the forma
tion of an Asiatic Monroe doctrine.
'They will not come to America,"
said the Ill'nols senator. "We did not
By iv oihihi. tie oriwu v^uua nuu me
rhlllpplnes and told Spnln to come and
get them. While we hold the Phil
ippines. these notions may seize them
at any time and say to us. 'Come and
get them."
"I plnce my defense of this mens
ure.M the senator concluded, "square
ly upon the defense of America."
Senators Borah and Cutting, who
with eighteen other ltepubllcans
helped the Democrats to override the
veto, argued that the United States
should redeem Its promise of Inde
pendence for the Islands. Privately,
some of these Republicans had said
they would vote for the measure be
cause a worse one might be passed
by the next congress?though this
seems almost Impossible. Only one
Democrat. Copelnnd of New York, vot
ed to sustain the veto, holding that
congress has no constitutional right
to alienate I territory once acquired.
\lflIAT the nation thinks of the
* v failure of congress to balnnce
the budget was expressed forcibly
though politely by President Hoover
In a special message which chlded the
legislators and urged them to bring
about economies In government and
to adopt a low general sales tax. lie
warned them thai Insolvency will fol
low If the budget continues Indefinitely
OUt Of balance, for It Is n nnostlnn hnw
touch longer the bunks will or can car
17 the government by purchasing Its
treasury obligations.
The President proposed that the
sales tax blanket all commodities ex
cept food and cheap clothing. He
said there probably would be a deficit
between *300,000,000 and *700,000.000
for the next flscnl year, even with re
duced appropriations, unless new rev
enues are obtained.
Since the President's criticisms
concerning appropriations were aimed
chiefly at the Democrat-controlled low
er house. Chairman Joseph W. Byrns
of the appropriations committee felt
called upon to reply.
"Was there anything more nmar.
lag." said Mr. Byrns, "than that the
frc-iident who has been urging econ
omies since the Democrats came Into
control, should complain that maxl
taam appropriations and economies
have not been adhered to? Do we un
derstand that he Is tut in the position
of saying that congress should not
'ttempt to reduce the estimates he
h?s sent np here? That Is what the
menage means; It can't be construed
in any other way.
I "Vou have been President nearly
I ,our years and secretary of commerce
I Tears before that," Mr. Byrns shout
I ed in an Imaginary address to the
I "*sldent. "But for more than three
and one-half years you have sat In the
White House totally oblivious to the
necessity of consolidation of govern
ment agencies for the purpose of econ
omy."
Representative Mopes of Michigan
answered this by Insisting that, as
secretary of commerce and repeated
ly is President, Mr. Hoover has urged
consolidation of agencies and has sub
mitted "a dozen messages" along that
line, but has been opposed by leading
members of the Democratic party.
There Is no Indication that Mr.
Hoover's message would spur this ses
sion to any commendable action.
HAVING re-wrltten the Collier beer
bill so that it would allow the
manufacture and sale of beer, porter,
wine and fruit Juices with alcoholic
contents of not to exceed 3.05 per
cent, the senate Judiciary committee
delayed nctlon on It for one week. Al
though the backers of the senate
omended bill expressed confidence It
would be reported out In time for pas
sage at this session, house wets ex
pressed apprehension that the bottling
up of the measure In the Judiciary
committee might snbject It to a fili
buster by the drya.
Monday, January 10, was the thir
teenth anniversary of national prohi
bition, and Senator Morris Slieppard
of Texas, author of the Eighteenth
amendment, succeeded In breaking
through the Long Oil buster long
enough to deliver his annual speech
on prohibition.
A NE Democratic senator at least
Is thoroughly disgusted with the
tactics of some of his colleagues of
the same party. This Is Millard Tyd
Ings of Maryland,
who declared that If
the Huey l.ong Qli
liuster In the senate
were tolerated much
longer, and If his res
olution to cut more
than a billion dollars
from the costs of the
government were not
acted on, he would re
sign for the remain
der of the session as
Sen. Tydlngt a protest. He would
begin his new term
on March 4, having been re-elected.
"I don't want my constituents." he
said, "to assume that I condone or
even passively accept what Is going
on here, that 1 am indifferent to the
crying needs of this nation. f.et some
one else from Maryland come here to
look on If he wants to."
The Louisiana "Kingflsh" and his
radical associates suspended their fill,
buster only long enough for the sen
ate to vote on the Philippines bill.
Then they resumed their obstructive
tactics aimed at the Glass banking bill.
The Democratic leaders, however, took
the extreme step of filing a petition
for cloture. It was signed by 22 Dem
ocratic senators. They also filed
three amendments to the rules de
signed to prevent a recurrence of the
Long performance in debate on other
measures.
Senator Glass opened the vials of his
sarcasm and told the"Kingflsh"what he
thought of him. Taking exception to
remarks by Long Implicating that
the Glass measure had been railroad
ed onto the senate floor, the Virginia
senator asserted the implication was
"as false as any ever uttered by any
human lips" He followed this with
asserting that Long's attack on the
bill was made up of "oratorical rule
bish and misrepresentations"
PRESIDENTELECT ROOSEVELT,
having had a long talk with Sec
retary of State Stimson on Interna
tional policies paid another visit to
President Hoover Friday at the White
House, and while the subject of dr*
Icusslon was not announced In ad
vnnce. It was taken for granted that
tbev would aitaln study the world sit
uutlnn anil perhaps Rive special alien
tlon to the war deb! problem. Mr.
lioosevelt also met the leaders of his
party In congress, and then was to
proceed to Muscle Shoals with Sena
tors Norrls. Black and McKellar to
Inspect that huge project
FOLLOWING his Intensive prepar
ation for assuming his office. Mr.
Koosevelt made the interesting an
nouncement that he would stand by
the American policy of the sanctity
of International agreements In Wash
ington and the other world capitals
this was taken as meaning that the
United States, under his sdmlnlstra
Hon, would continue to refute recog
nition of the terrltortul gains made by
Japan in aggression against Chins.
Tokyo was neither surprised nor agi
tated by this dcclnrntlor of policy. A
foreign office spokesman said: "We
are bopeful, however, that, while the
substance of the American policy will
be unchanged, the nmnner ot Its pres
entation will he altered tinder Mr.
itoosevelt and that Irritations growing
out of Washington's 'spur ot the mo
ment' Judgments will be removed. That
will count for a great deal."
Japanese statesmen were bopeful
that the Manchurlan Issue would be
amicably settled In Genevn, but nel
ther their forces In the Held nor the
Chinese armies were helping toward
that end. Japanese military planes
bombed a concentration of Chinese sol
diers at Kalluhsen, near the northern
border of Jeltol province, killing an
uiiestlmntcd number and doing heavy
damage lo the town. Japanese mili
tary headquarters In Mukden claimed
that the bombardment was ordered
after It had been learned Chinese
troops stationed at Kalluhsien were
planning to attack the town of Tun
gllno, which Is ucrosa the border In
Manchuria.
PENDING congressional action on
the recommendation that G3 per
cent of the disability allowances now
received by veterans for nonservlce
cwnuecira injuries oe
discontinued, admin
Istrntive steps have
been taken to carry
out that plan.
Brig. (Jen. Prank T.
Hines, head of the
veterans' bureau, re
cently ordered a com
plete review of all
disability allowance
claims, with the state
ment that It was a
purely ?'routine" Gen. Hlnee
move. The review or
der, It was revealed, however, fol
lowed the adoption of changes In the
disability allowance regulations, under
which veterans whose claims have
been allowed heretofore, no longer
will be eligible for the federal benelits.
Cnder the old regulations disabil
ity allowance has been paid to vet
erans who could prove permanent dis
ability of 23 per cent or more, and
they were permitted to add up their
disabilities to make the minimum.
Now they must prove a single disabil
ity of 20 per cent, though the mini
mum remains at 25 per cent General
HInes has recommended that the mini
mum be raised to 50 per cent disabil
ity, stating that such a move would
eliminate 63 per cent of the veterans
now receiving benefits for disability
In no way connected with military
service, and would save more than
$51,000,000 a year.
MA NT Republican politicians ex
pect that President Hoover will
attempt a comeback and vindication
In 1030 and consequently believe that
he seeks to retain control of the
party. The "old line* element In the
party Intends to stop this If possible,
and hence schemed to prevent a plan
to hold a meeting of the national
committee before March 4, feeling
that after Mr. Hoover has left olflee
he will not so easily dominate that
body. More than a majority of the
comndttee were said to have gone
on record against a meeting before
the close of the administration. In
Washington It was said that the na
tional and congressional committees
would be reorganized and that prnb
ably National Chairman Everett
Sanders would be forced out or re
sign.

OUR CHILDREN'S STORY
By THORNTON W. BURGESS
THE BREEZES DECIDE TO
HELP STRIPED CHIPMUNK
Happy jack squirrel and his
cousin, Chatterer the Red Squir
rel, stared at each other, and for a
few minutes neither could find a word
to say. What had become of all those
brown nuts which the Merry Little
Breezes had shaken down from the top
of the ta'.l chestnut tree, and over
which they had quarreled and fought
so bitterly? Not one was to be found.
It was Just as if there never had been
any. The Merry Little Breezes knew
what had become of them, and they
chuckled. Sammy Jay knew what had
become of them, and he chuckled the
most of all. In fact. Striped Chip
munk was at that very minute tucking
away the very last of those brown
nuts In his secret storehouse. No
wonder he chuckled.
Of coarse, Happy Jack and Chat
terer soon guessed that while they had
been so foolishly quarreling, some one
else had found those brown nuts and
taken them away, but who that some
one was they didn't know. What do
you think they did after staring at
each other for a few minutes? It
sounds too foolish to tell, but they be
gan to quarrel again. Yes, sir, Happy
Jack and Chatterer began to quarrel
again.
And then they went at It agnln,
quarreling as bitterly as before and
quite forgetting that there were more
nuts In the trees waiting to be gath
ered. The Merry Little Breezes had
been shocked at first, and now they
were disgusted, very much disgusted.
"And I thought we were going to
help!" exclaimed the Merry Little
Breeze who had first suggested shak
ing down the brown nuts that Happy
Jack and Chatterer might be saved
the troable of climbing the trees for
them. "I'll never shake down anoth
er nut for those fellows If I know It!"
"But we did help!" cried another
Merry Little Breeze. "We helped
Striped Chipmunk. Wasn't It funny
to see him get all those nuts while his
cousins were quarreling about them?
I tell you what, let's go hunt up
Striped Chipmunk and help him and
leave those two bad-tempered fellows
to set their nuts any way they can."
No sooner was It proposed thnn off
rushed the Merry I.lttle lireeies to
look for Striped Chipmunk. They
found him running along the edge of
the Green Forest looking for more
nuts.
"Hello. Striped Chipmunk I Come
play with us!" shouted one of them,
mischievously, knowing just what
Striped Chlpumnnk's answer would be.

"Can't I I'm too busy," replied
Striped Chipmunk, snapping bis bright
?yes at them.
"Will you play with as after your
-vork Is done If we will help you do
tT" asked one of the Merry Little
Breezes.
Striped Chipmunk paused to sit up
tnd chuckle, as only be can chuckle.
'I'd like to know how you can help
ne?" said he.
"Bow do you think all those brown
outs happened to be on the ground,
the ones you hare Just hidden away
while your cousins were quarreling?"
demanded a Merry Little Breeze.
"Why, I suppose they Just dropped
down," replied Striped Chipmunk won
derlngly.
"You're wrong!" shouted the Merry
Little Breezes. "We shook them down
for your cousins. But we wouldn't
have done It it we had known that
they would quarrel over them. Now
they may climb the trees and gather
the nuts for themselves for all we
care."
"That Is something I can't do very
well," said Striped Chipmunk. "You
know I am not much of a climber. I
have to depend on what I find on the
ground, and sometimes It Is pretty
hard work to find enough. I didn't
Bbow you shook those down, but I'm
glad you did. Now I must get busy.
When my work Is done I'll play with
you." Striped Chipmunk started to
hurry on.
"Wait a minute," cried the Merry
Little Breezes. "We are going to help
you. You follow us and we'll shake
down the nuts for you, but we must
go where Happy Jack and Chatterer
will not Bee what we are doing. What
do you say to that?"
"Splendid 1" cried Striped Chipmunk,
chasing bis tnil from pure happiness.
"Do you really mean It?"
"We certainly do!" cried the Merry
Little Breezes. "Come on!"

THE WAY WE
FIGURE
By DOUGLAS MALLOCH
PUT down two and carry one.
So arithmetic was done
In a schoolhouse ten by twenty.
When some simple rule was plenty.
Now the schoolhouse is as wide
As the world where men abide.
And I And, with problems bigger,
That ain't now the way we figger.
Harder problem, harder school.
And it takes a harder rule.
Seems today, with all our troubles,
What's divided always doubles.
Here Is what we seem to do:
Put down one and carry two.
Though the rules are simply stated.
Life Is much more complicated.
Soon it's two in place of one.
So our troubles are begun.
For there aren't very many
Folks who never carry any.
In life's school one rule Is taught.
That you never carry naught
Vet perhaps what makes 'em bigger
Mostly Is the way we flgger.
