The alamange Gleaner VOL. LX. GRAHAM, IS, C., THURSDAY DECEMBER 6, 1934. NO. 44. News Review of Current Events the World Over i ?: Robinson Says President Plans No New Taxes?Franco German Agreement Concerning the Saar Reported? Vinson's Warning to Japan. By EDWARD W. PICKARD ?. Western Newspaper UnJon.* JOE ROBINSON of Arkansas, senate floor leader, spent four hours in conference with President Roosevelt at Warm Springs, and emerged with the welcome assurance that the New Deal program to be pre sented to congress in January does not contemplate the Im position of new taxes or the substantial in crease of existing taxes. He added that he believed expendi tures for normal gov eminent purposes Senator would be kept well Robinson within the national income. Of course, this does not mean a balanced budget, for this cannot be had while enormous sums are being spent for relief and re-employment, but the senator would not admit that the cost of these would go above the ten-billion-dollar mark. "Unemployment relief is to be pre ferred to the dole," he said. "A rea sonably conservative program should be adopted with a view to tapering off the deficit." Senator Robinson said that the bonus was discussed at some length but no conclusion was reached. Intimates of the White House have expressed the fear that a bonus program calling for expenditure of more than two bil lion dollars may be passed over a veto. Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi, chairman of the senate finance com mittee, who was also present at the conference, left for Washington to be gin a study of unemployment insur ance. Next day the President's chief caller was Secretary of Commerce Daniel C. Roper, and he told Mr. Roosevelt that business would move rapidly on the road to recovery if only It were as sured of a safe and sane federal pro gram of expenditures. To correspond ents Mr. Roper said he was greatly cheered by Senator Robinson's state ment He felt that the left wing de mand for vast sums of money for re lief of the unemployed must be checked and that there must be a fur ther shifting of relief control to com munities. TROUBLE over the Saar plebiscite may be averted after all the alarm, for It is reported unofficially that Chan cellor Hitler of Germany and Foreign Minister Pierre Laval of France have reached an accord providing that Ger many will pay for French mining prop erties in the Saar if France abandons the effort to keep the region under the jurisdiction of the League of Nations. Substance was given this report when Reichsfuehrer Hitler instructed all the Nazi propaganda forces In the Saar to cease their activities. He or dered that disturbances must be avoid ed and that the Nazis must rely largely on the press to keep the swastika fly ing in the disputed territory after the plebiscite. This would seem to insure an impartial vote on January 13. JAPAN, having given unofficial notice that she will withdraw from the Washington naval treaty, still seems to have hope that the United States and Orpnf Ttrifaln *c!ll agree to give her naval parity. But just in case, she has now invited France and Italy to join her in denouncing the pact Those nations may consent but the two great Anglo-Saxon nations are as one in . demanding that the ?r?-3 ratio be maintained. VOT, ^ -?^jucseuiauve uari _ Vinson of Georgia, who lpr^Sw" is chairman of the Carl Vinson house committee on naval affairs, has made plain the policy he will insist upon. "I sincerely hope.lt will not be nec essary to scrap the treaty," he said, "but it seems now we cannot hope very strongly for anything else. We cannot grant naval equality to Japan at any price. If the Tokyo government does insist upon wrecking the treaty I will insist that the house naval affairs com mittee and congress make enough money available to build five ships for each three laid down by Japan." A GAIN it may be said that if or ^ when another European war breaks out, it will start among the southern nations. The blaze lighted by the assassinations of King Alexan der and Louis Barthou In Marseilles Is ?till smoldering. Jugoslavia's dele gates in the League of Nations formal ly charged Hungary with complicity In the murder of the king, asserting she had harbored Balkan terrorists. Hun gary demanded immediate action by the league's council on this accusation, declaring "the peace of the world" might be affected. The Hungarian note asked that the matter be placed on the agenda of the council's session called to meet on December 3 to dis cuss the forthcoming plebiscite In the Saar, so that Hungary might "defend its honor against proceedings which have no other purpose than to compro mise the good name of the whole Hun garian nation." The document then pointed out that the council, under Article IV of the covenant of the league, may deal with any question affecting the peace of the world. It is, therefore, the duty of the coun cil to face this question as soon as possible, it asserted, "and thus guard against the grave dangers which might arise from the situation that Hungary is still bound to bring to the attention of the council." The Jugoslavian charges were sup ported by the other two states of the little entente, Czechoslovakia and Rumania. LEON ARCHIMBAUD, French re porter of the budget, declared be fore the chamber of deputies that it was undeniable that an understanding exists oetween France and Russia, ahd that the Soviet government had offered armed aid to France In case of a conflict with Germany. This caused great ex citement and the French office content ed itself with a denial that there was any military accord. The _ , , _ , Russian offer was gen Col. Jean Fabry eraIly belleved t0 have been made by Maxim Litvinov, Rus sian foreign commissar, last spring to the late Louis Barthou and again to his successor, Pierre Laval. Col. Jean Fabry, former French minister of war, gave support to Archimbaud's state ment by asserting that France's knowl edge of German rearmament, the de tails of German troops and informa tion concerning the secret manufac ture of arms and airplanes in the reich was supplied by Russia. The two men were arguing for a large war budget, and Archimbaud pictured Russia's huge military machine working with France as the only means of preserving peace in Europe. DISPATCHES from Germany tell of serious unrest in the reich, and though the government calls them "ma licious lies," it is a fact that the army and police forces are being held under emergency orders. A long smoldering feud between the reichswehr (regular army) and the schutzstaffel (black shirt picked Nazi guards) was believed responsible for the orders, which involved suspension of Christmas furloughs for soldiers and military police. Drilling of Nazi storm troops has Increased, reports said, while all mar riages of army men and police set for the Christmas holidays, popular wed ding period for Germany's military men, have been postponed.

En rique Penaranda and forced, to resign. Meantime Vice President Jose Sorzano had taken over the presidential powers by decree and Installed a new cabinet Penaranda appeared to be the virtual dictator and it seemed likely he would take steps to bring about peace with Paraguay. Gen. lazaro cardenas, who though only thirty-nine years old is a veteran of the Mexican revolu tion, was Installed as president of Mex ico on November 30. He is of Spanish and Tarasean Indian stock, a line sol dier and statesman and has held office under the revolutionary government for five years. INSPECTOR SAMUEL P. COWLEY 1 and Agent Herman E. Hollis of the bureau of Investigation, Department of Justice, engaged in a gun battle with Lester Gillis, better known as George ("Baby Face") Nelson, Public Enemy No. 1, and a companion, near Barring ton, I1L, and both the federal men were shot to death by machine guns In the 1 bands of the bandits. The killers, ac companied by a woman, escaped for the time being in the agents' car, their own being disabled. Next day Nelson's body was found miles away, In Niles Center, at the en trance to a cemetery. He had died of nine bullet wounds from the guns of the federal agents he killed and evi dently his body had been left at the roadside after his companions had failed to save his life. In the same region were found Nelson's clothing and the car the bandits had fled In after the battle. Cowley was the man who killed John Dillinger, chief of the gang to which Nelson belonged, and he also was In command of the posse that ran down and killed "Pretty Boy" Floyd In an Indiana cornfield not long ago. Thanksgiving day in america was wedding day in London for the duke of Kent, fourth son of the king and queen of England, and Princess Marina of Greece. The metropolis swarmed with royalty and nobility from many lands, and vast throngs of ordinary persons watched the parade to Westminster Abbey, where the mar riage ceremony was performed. The ancient church was filled with the for tunate ones who had been invited and the scene was glittering. The only Americans present were United States Ambassador and Mrs. Robert W. Bing ham. The ceremony in the abbey was cele brated at 11 o'cloek in the morning, and it was followed immediately by an other, the Greek Orthodox. The latter took place in the private chapel of Buckingham palace and was celebrated by Archbishop Germanos, archimand rite of the Greek church in London. Only a select company of royal wit nesses was present. D EPORTS of various business groups Indicate that "luxury spending" is becoming more noticeable and is aiding industry considerably.

Ro per by business leaders indicated that sales in some gift lines this year would be 40 per cent greater than a year ago. TAKE It from the Department of Agriculture that American farmers have these reasons to be thankful this year: Cash farm income from sales of crops and live stock, AAA benefit pay ments, and emergency drouth sales of cattle to the government totaled $736, 000,000 In October, compared with $659,000,000 in September and $620,000, 000 in October, 1933. Total farm cash Income for ten months this year was $5,045,000,000 com I pared to $4,099,000,000 for the corre sponding period last year, of which $4,614,000,000 was derived from mar ketings and $433,000,000 from benefit payments and emergency cattle sales, compared to $3,967,000,000 and $132, 000,000, respectively, in 1933. SAMUEL INSULL and his sixteen co defendants in the great mail fraud trial In Chicago were acquitted by the Jury, despite the long work of the gov ciuiucui uiiiciaia in preparing and present ing the case at an esti mated cost of $100,000. The verdict was reached on the third ballot, and the attor neys for the prosecu ( tion could say only that they had done their best. It was ap parent that the Jurors , , were nor convinced Samuel InsuM . D1 n , . , that Insull and his aides had an intent to defraud. There are other charges standing against In sull, but whether or not there will be further prosecution is undecided. There were rumors that the former magnate, if cleared of all charges, planned to re-enter La Salle street and the utilities field. THERE Is bound to be another hot Bght In the senate over the re vamped St. Lawrence waterway treaty," but It looks now as if President Roose velt were Justified in his expectation that the treaty will be ratified. Sena tor James Hamilton Lewis of Illinois, leader of the opposition that defeated the pact In the last session, said In Washington that he had heard rumors that some major provisions Involved In the controversy had been eliminated In a new treaty with Canada that is be ing negotiated. The omitted provisions, he understood, have to do with the American share of-the cost of the sea way and limitations on the diversion of water from I.ake Michigan for the Chicago drainage canal. He added ru mor also had it that the new jjnct would acknowledge complete American sov ereignty over Lake Michigan. The St. Lawrence treaty was one of the live topics discussed in the annual convention of the Mississippi Valley association In St. Louis. The association voted to continue Its opposition to the treaty unless its ob jectionable features are removed. Richmond Opens the New Robert E.

BURGESS PETER GOSSIPS WITH HONKER DETER RABBIT could hardly wait * for the coming of the Black Shad ows, and just as soon as they had crept out over the Green Meadows he started for the Big River. He knew just where to go. He knew that Honker and his friends would remain out in the middle of the Big River until the Black Shad ows had made It quite safe for them to swim in. He reached the bank of the Big River just as sweet Mistress Moon was beginning to throw her silvery light over the Great World. At this point there was a sandy bar in the Big I River and right where this sandy bar ! started out from the bank, Peter | squatted. It seemed to him that he had sat there half the night, but really it was only a snort time, before he heard a I low signal out in the Black Shadows 1 which covered the middle of the Big River. It was the voice of Honker. Then Peter saw little silvery lines mov ing on the water, and presently a dozen great shapes appeared in the moonlight. Slowly they drew near, Honker in the lead. They were a picture of perfect caution. When they reached the sandy har they remained quiet for some time, looking and listening. Then, sure thac all was safe, Honker gave a low signal, ; and at once a low, contented gabbling began as the birds relaxed their watch i fulness and came out on the sandy ! bar. "Oh, Honker!" cried Peter. "I'm so glad you're back here safe and sound." Honker gave a little start but, In stantly recognizing Peter, came close to him. As he stood there in the moon light he was truly handsome. His throat and a large patch on each side of his head were white. The remain der of his head and his long slim neck were black. His short tail was also black. His back, wings, breast, and sides were a soft grayish brown. lie was white around the base of his tail, and he also wore a white collar. "Hello, Peter!" said he. "It is good to have an old friend greet me. I car tainly am glad to be back safe and sound, for the hunters with terrible guns have been at almost every one of our resting places, and it Is hard work to get enough to eat." "Have you come far?" asked Feter. "Very far, Peter, Vbrv far," replied ifonker. "And we rtlll have far to go." "Will winter soon be here?" Peter asked eagerly. "It is only a little way behind us," replied Honker. "We shall have to hurry lest it catch us, and that would never do." T. W.
