brisbaneI THIS WEEK War Financing France Pays Piper Lottery Millions Ability to Endure One hundred and fifty-three leading British economists, mapping out a new plan to may be very easArthor BrUbane ?y overestimated. If those gentlemen cannot abstain from cutting each other's throats without the assistance and money of the United States, why, then let them cut each other's throats. France is learning that the people always pay the piper, whoever the piper may be?a great conqueror leading them to war, or a clever politician loading them with tax?s. In France, sugar has gone up in price, bread and veal have both gone up; two sous a kilogram for bread, two sous a pound for veal, and the government is held directly responsible by the housewife as regards the bread, for the French government fixes the price of bread as ours fixes the price of postage stamps. Trailing behind England and the United States the French, with less than 20 per cent of American unemployment, are discussing great public works to absorb the idle. Billions are spoken of, but the "millard," French word for "billion," means only one billion fourcent pieces, the franc having been reduced by government fiat to that price. If a billion meant here 25,000 francs, equivalent to the American billion when the dollar was good, the French might well faint away, although they are fundamentally a rich people. When B;smarck laid on France an Indemnity equivalent to $1,000,000,000, after 1870, he thought he had asked for about all France could raise after a hard war. The French government offered bonds to pay Bismarck, and the French people subscribed to the loan 14 times over. Bismarck had guessed badly. France is far richer now than It was then. ! ?? French labor demands the 40hour week and the government agrees; it also demands wage increases from 12 to 17 per cent, and that makes the country a little thoughtful. With a shorter week, diminished production and higher wages, bread, sugar, veal and many other things mu6t go up in price. Possibly the French worker, who really works, while he is at it, will manage to produce as much in 40 hours as he has done hitherto in 48 or more; even then increased wages will be added to the price of living and even the worker, who must pay, will growl. 4 How long will America continue pouring thousands of millions of dollars into gambling, lottery sweepstakes and other foreign enterprises? It is interesting to read that in the banks of Dublin there are 25 millions of dollars undistributed from the so-called "Hospitals Sweepstakes." Hospitals did not get it?yet. It might also enlighte:. this government to know that under the law no mention can be made of the sweepstakes gambling in England. The English are too wise to let their money be drained off in any kind of gambling enterprise, if it is not ENGLISH. You cannot even send a telegram about sweepstakes over the English telegraph wires, to be published in countries outside of England. All telegraphing about the sweepstakes gambling game must go around England, her government-owned wire system will not handle it. Under its Constitution, the United States cannot forbid newspapers to print lottery news that breeds more gambling and heavier losses. But the government might forbid transmission of such information through the postoffice. That would cut down the "graft." School teachers, business heads, chambers of commerce, even clergymen, might find a good text in Mr. Son, the young Japanese with the determined face who won the long marathon race at the recent Olympic games in Berlin. Not only could that marvelous Japanese runner go. and keep going, but there seemed no end to his endurance. Everybody can run, more or less, bux that by itself never wins a marathon. - The race for success in life is a marathon race, and real success depends more than anything else on your ability to KEEP GOING. e King Features Syndicate, Inc.

The Associated ta Press carried a dispatch from Mos- cs cow a few days tr 'Social Defense' ^0 that had fic in Russia more in " than ar just the an- sii nouncement that certain opposition- pc ists among the Soviet 'eaders were wi to be executed. The dispatch re- in ported that 16 confessed conspira- di tors against the Soviet state were ar sentenced to death by the firing ti< squad as the "highest measure of social defense" of a government. ^ It reported a new stage in the so- js called progress of Communism in ou the Russian state. For the first yj time since the Bolsheviks came into y, power they ordered the death penal- ou ty for some of the leaders who yc marched in the Revolution of Octo- y,( ber, 1917. So we have a clean sweep now of we the men who sat next to the dicta- pr tor, Lenin; the men who were his of closest advisors in council are out tir of the way, and in their place re- St; mains the extensively practical and be strong-willed executive, Stalin, who er; has in this instance declined to al- th; low theory to interfere with a condi- tic lion. sa Here is the picture. Leon Trotsky Ar in exile and under sentence of death th< if he returns into Russia. Zinoviev re. shot to death. Kamenev also exe- at cuted by a firing squad (he will be , remembered as an outstanding pil- thi lar of Bolshevism). Tomsky, a sui- js cide. Rykov, Bukahrin and Rodek ha under investigation by the dreadful ye Ogpu. A hated secret service is in looking into the records of Sokokni- jy, kov and Pyotakov. The latter two ca have been important advisors to Stal- ye in. But what is all of this about? we The answer is simple. While these men were charged with plotting the murder of Stalin, with conspiracy, ? beneath it all lies the thirst of men for power. Through all of this since vlr the fall'of the Russian empire and ln the execution of Czar Nicholas. ?u the Communists have pushed for- ??. ward. The strongest of them have , traveled. That is the why of Stalin. .? Yet as most always happens under ^ any circumstance where the will of ne a few men runs free, they have inflicted to the last degree the power re that they have gathered unto them- J'6 selves. In so doing they have not e failed to reserve unto themselves an such considerations as they thought m necessary?a perfectly human trait ?f' of character answerable only where a whim becomes a will and there is power to carry it out Between Stalin, who was able to ' enforce his will, and Trotsky, who 001 dwelt in the starry heavens of the- ^ ories and dreams, there is only a lnl theoretical difference. Each want- cai ed Communism. Trotsky consid- i?r ered the problem in the terms of wh world revolution; Stalin thought of > it as the Russian state and recog- cai nized his capacity to carry his plans at through in that jurisdiction. So the Fr Stalin-Trotsky feud, as it has turned at out to be, has become ferocious and po; any one who has gone contrary wj] to the will of the migh y Stalin? tor committed a sin against the state. pa And a sin against the Russian state is i under Stalin means to disappear. the ? t su< It seems to me there is an important lesson for the /.merican people in that situLesson for ation. Stalin, Americans along with Hitler ? and Mussolini, is ga always right. It matters not what the people may desire, what their philosophy of life and living may be, i how they propose to encourage or accept responsibility for self-gov- the ernment, the dictatorship continues, wo Many times in these columns I Mi nave criticized bureaucracy in the set federal government. There are so he many bureaucrats in Washington is; now that some one has bitterly de- ve scribed them as locusts. It may the seem quite a jump from bureauc- pu racy to dictatorship but the differ- < ence actually is very small. When erj the people of the United States concede to the federal government such pe rights as the federal government .. attempted to exercise in NRA and . VIC even to a greater extent in the AAA, . they are taking the first step to lm grant to a centralized government ac the authority that leads to absolute no control of the person and every- m' thing that person does. n?' sti There are conditions undoubtedly that need to be remedied before our form of government is anything like perfect. There is always to be con- re sidered changing conditions and tic the changing whims of people themselves. But I entertain the conviction that so long as the Ameri- is can people are unwilling to accord t" increasing powers to the federal th government, the nation as a whole cu will eo forward, civilization mill ca progress and we will enjoy having ca a government. in * * e\ The transfer of William C.

He will STATE PORT PILOT, SOI ke up the job as the chief Ameriin diplomat at Paris in most oublesome times, the most dif:ult, perhaps, that have confronted i American diplomat anywhere nee the days of 1914 to 1916. Apuntment of Mr. Bullitt then, it auld appear, is a move that calls to consideration not only the contions which he will meet as our nbassador but also his qualifica>ns for the job. It is to be remembered, first, at the post of ambassador to Paris the second highest in rank among 1 r foreign diplomats. It is a posf at always has called for about e best that our nation can turn t in the way of tactful representain even though we always count e assignment to London as the No. ranking post. The reason is that i seldom, if ever, have had the oblems to deal with in the case the London government that con mously arise between the United ates and France. We always have en friendly with France in modn times, but it can not be denied i at there has been constant fricm between the two peoples. The me has not been true concerning ) iglo-American relations. Hence, i 5 job at Paris has always been i garded as more difficult than that ] London. 1 \s for Mr. Bullitt's capacity, 1 ;re is a general feeling that ho ' not an outstanding diplomat. He s achieved success in some lines, t I believe the consensus is that so far as his recent service at jscow is concerned, the Russians n claim much greater success in aling with the United States than i can in dealing with the Soviet. rhose of us who were present as servers in Washington during the ys when Foreign Commissar Litiov met with President Roosevelt the series of conferences that reltfcd in recognition of the Union of viet Socialistic Republics can not .1 to recall how Mr. Bullitt lared to accomplish that recognin. It will be recalled as well that r. Bullitt insisted throughout these gotiations how trade would follow cognition. He urged that the 13ar old policy of non-recognition, Id by Wilson, Harding, Coolidge d~ Hoover, should be cast aside the interest of trade, predicting a sat flow of commerce between : nations. President Roosevelt entually made that the real basis granting recognition. tfone of the predicted trade has me about. None will be possible til the Soviet finds means of pay- ' ? for American goods. Amerin business men are a bit old fash- a led. They want to be paid for s tat they sell. r \fter what some critics have 3 lied Mr. Bullitt's "dismal failure" 3 Moscow, he is promoted to the g ench post. The selection comes 3 a time when French internal litics are boiling. It comes like ( 3 se at a time when the Washing- c i government is striving to ex- g nd American exports and when it e hoped that there will not be a fur:r decline in outbound shipments :h as official figures of the Dertment of Commerce show has ten place in trade with Russia. * * Senator James Couzens of Michin who is up for re-election this fall has sort of up- < Upsets set the apple cart \pple Cart for the Republi v cans, although c :y profess not to be particularly j rried.

Senator Couzens has been a pow- c Eul man politically in Michigan in ars past He has served his city, 1 itroit, and his state and the na- ' n in a distinguishes way. Ob- 1 lusly, such service builds up an portant political following but 1 cording to superficial indication, 1 one knows exactly how much re- < lins of that following. This state- ' ent assumes that the senator's ' ength is not as great as it used to and all current information sup- 1 rts that view. Yet, in politics, ? thing is certain and that is the ason why Senator Couzens's acin has proved disturbing. Former Gov. Wilbur M.
