FURTHER EXTENSION. i f rom Durham Herald. > I Another note has come from across the Atlantic to Uncle Sam informing -the once very benevolent but now much worried Uncle, that the writer is sorry, but will have to pass up next month's installment on the debt owing and due next month. The latest pleading debtor is Belgium. That makes some half dozen, including Britain and France, that have asked for relief from next months payment on the war debt. It is about those things mostly that President Hoover asked Governor Roosevelt to come down to the White House at the ear liest opportunity and talk over with him. No doubt the President has map ped out what will be done—in fact it is the only thing that can be done now. But he wants to see what Roose velt thinks about it; for if the only po licy that can be adopted is put into effect, it will mean that some time next year Mr. Roosevelt will have to take up the same problem. The allied nations owe Uncle Sam a sum of something like eleven billions of dollars, if that means anything to you. They have paid a Ititle over two and a half billions, and now they say they can't pay any more until the economic situation clears up. In other words, they aic in the same fix that most of their citizens broke. When the nations, one by ofie, se cured a readjustment with the United States, it stipulated that those pay ments would be made if it were pos sible to make them. Now they say that it is not possible. One little nation 1 has even defaulted a $12,000 payment. The United States has since the debt agreements went into effect, loan ed Germany two and a half billion dollars. Germany paid that to the allies as reparations. The allies paid it to the United States on war debts on war debts. Nice little circle from Uncle Sams left hand back into his right hand, wasn't it? There are two ways whereby the allied nations can pay the United 'States, with gold or with trade. As those nations have no gold, they can't pay in that form. Our high tariff walls prevent them from paying with goods.} Therefore, they say they can't pay, and in most coses are telling the sad truth. Their immediate request is an ex tension of the moratorium, during which it is suggested that a confer ence be held for further adjustment of the debts. Os course, they hold back in their heads the thought of an even tual cancellation. For the moment, in view of the position taken by the President and by the Democratic plat form. there is little prospect for can cellation. Therefore, the allied nations seek an extension o ftime and re adjustment. In view of the whole situation, there Is no reasonable course, open to the United States except to extend the moratorium That is what the Wash ington government will do. Whether the extension is tor six months or another year is probably the only matter to be decided by Mr. Hoover. After he has conferred with Governor Roosevelt, which will probably be ear ly next week. President Hoover will outline his program for submission to Congress. Only Congress can grant an extension. After the moratorium has been ex tended, the United States will set back and hope that the depression will break so that the nations can begin to pay. while, on the other hand, the nations will probably hope that enough sentiment will develop in the United States to warrant a sug gestion for cancellation. But the nations are saying they can't pay and all that the United States can do about it is to say to them that if they can t, wait a few months and see if they can't sell a few chickens and eggs and scrape up •t least interest payments.

Baker in one of his cam paign speeches recently gave most sen sibie program for dealing wjth the debt problem- He said the United States ought to eay to the debtor na tions. forget about the debts until the economic situation improves; let’s be- HENDERSON, (N.C.,) DAILY DISPATCH SATURDAY.

WASHINGTON, D. C.— Whatever may be the ultimate fate of the Eighteenth amendment, beer of a somewhat higher alcoholic content than the present law per mits is a practical certainty of the fairly near future. Beer is assured l>ecause it van be manufactured, transported and regardless of the eighteenth amend ment. We have legal beer now. It con tains one-half of one |>ercent of alco hol. to be sure, but it is beer—of a sort. Whiskey of a low alcoholic content is impossible. Wine will not keep, under 10 or 12 percent. It will be* difficult to argue that a 10 to 12 percent drink is without intoxicating potentialities. • • • HEER IS a different proposition. Even the most ardfffit drys do not call one-half of one percent beer In toxicating and what real beer lovers refer to as “good beer"—lager beer— never did exceed 4 or 5 percent of alcohol. Now, "less than one-half of one percent", as beer’s prohibition limit, was an arbitrarily.fixed figure. In pre-prohibit ion days the revenue service hit upon one-half of one |»er cent as the point above which beer was to be considered beer, for pur poses of taxation. This percentage was adopted as prohibition's dividing line when the Volstead act was being framed. • • • FOLK WHO wish to understand gin to trade, and think nothing about the debts. Then after the world has recovered from the depression, go into conference with the debtor na tions and reach an agreement for a settlement. Mr. Baker said that in ten days after the United States made such an announcement, there would be a prompt response in world trade, and prosperity would begin its come back. After it had returned, then set tle the debts by agreement. Otherwise, he pointed out. the United States will not only not collect principal or in terest. but will also lose the more im portant commercial relations. W s’: • / r I r ' * ■ I *| jamesVswell]* Nrw York, Nov. 19. A wtather beaten but pereninaily vital problem ot all New Yorkers is the entertain ment of out-of-town guests. Over the Coffee cups many inspirations flit, and a revue of yesterday had a whole song about it, but the problem re mains, like perpetual motion, insolu ble. The chap you would expect to be excited by the slim beauty of build ings from a Staten Island ferry yearns, secretly, for the sharp rhy thms of black-stockinged night club girls, and the young matron who tip ples a bit in the home town wants to see the Rodin in the Metropolitan. You never can tell. Well, the antique problem hit me between the eyes last week. My guest was a man of whom I am really very fond, but about whom I know com paratively little. He left college to go to war as though he were eager to em brace the final disillusionment, but the future offered greater blows than shrapnel. Determined with a sort of grimness to make a great deal of money, he got into a business which for years seemed to be the end of all alchemists’ dreams The depres- sion wiped him out. ANSWER TO THE PROBLEM. Maybe I should have known, but I didn’t know, what to do with him. Orange juice, scrambled eggs and cof fee was an easy idea, after a blink ing wait at Grand Central for a tardy train, but the aftermath was one of no little worriment. My friend has a curious mind and he was very Un happy. and I wanted, more than I have wanted an infallible roulette sys tem, to amuse him. Suddenly he thrust my problem in to the background. He said he want ed to go out by himself.... When he came back I Was almost through with my second long and highly cultured book of the day, and I was abashed to learn from him these facts about New York of which I was blushfully ignorant: Southerners are supposed to be d«- voted to their How states stand on prohibition enforcement the coming wet-and-dry controversy, which will soon be raging in Wash ington, should bear In mind the dis tinction between the eighteenth amendment and the Volstead act. The eighteenth amendment is in corporated in the federal constitu tion. To submit a constitutional amendment to the states, for their approval or rejection—or to be ignored, which is equivalent to re jection until a sufficient proportion of them have indorsed it—a two thirds majority tn each house of con gress is required. Afterward, to be come effective, it must be ratified by at least tinee-fourtbs of the states. It was thus that the eighteenth'’ amendment was put Into the con ! stitution ami it Is thus that it will have to be repealed or altered, if at al!. However, the eighteenth amend ment simply prohibits intoxicating liquors. It does not define them and It provides no penalty for its own vio lation. THE VOLSTEAD law Is an act of congress. It fixes the one-half of one percent limit and penalizes prohibition-break ing. But it required no more than a majority vote Id each congressional chamber to pass it and' would have required only the president’s signa ture to make It effective. As a mat ter of fact President Vf'llson refused to sign it and It took a vote of two thirds of the senators and represen tatives to pass It over his veto. It can be repealed by bare majori- most confirmed New Yorkers are from below ason's and Dixon's line. ... .Southerners who have never been up here think palatable fried chick en is cooked no farther north thAn Charlottesville, Va., but actually it melts in your mouth all over Man hattan . . . . The Yule dream of every child who has been to the Pennsylvania Station is to own the elaborate model of the S. S. Rex on display there....Two blocks’ walk at Times Square will not reveal over three people over five and a half feet tall. .. .Tourists are really not impressed by the Chinatown bus tours. They leave the barkers faintly puzzled that the most sophisticated city’in the world should tolerate such transparency.... No doubt the city is full of tobacco shops, but the visitor finds it hard to buy cigarets. He is hurled from taxi to taxi ...The men hanging around the symphony orchestra hall seem all to need shaves- is that the depression or artistic temperament, I really don’t think my guest saw much on his solo tour of Manhattan. “DIS AN DOTTA” Strange that all presidents' wives All Aboard! Elected Thomas O’Malley Alter 40 yean with the Chicago Northwestern railroad, Conductor Thomas J. O’Malley finds himself In political life. He will tkke of fice as lieutenant governor of Wisconsin on Jan. 2, having been swept into office on the Demo cratic ticket. O’Malley is shown arriving in Chicago on his regular ties in each house of congress, after w hich, if the president signs the re pealer. it wilkbe valid —that is, unless the federal supreme court declares it unconstitutional. Obviously, then, changing a law Is far easier than amending the consti tution. • • • "GOOD BSER’S" friends maintain that to around 4 percent js plan Is ta Change the Volstead law so as toTßgaljze beer at least up |o 2.75 perettat, k»d probably more than that. < •' They op. may not get |hi« x change la the taw through congress at its session. i . ’ If th» moYa.faU,’ during the law makers* winter deliberations. It Is considered certain to pass early in the new body’s—perhaps at an extra session, called next spring for ths purpose. • • • THE DRYS, It already Is foreseen, will lose no time, after “good beer” has been legalized, in seeking a rul ing from the U. S. supreme court, setting the changed law aside, on ths ground that beer with an alcoholio content one-half of one petcent-|g&i?intoxicating.; Ths dtfffreme court already ’.hfcf ruled fine whßtyWfand is not intoxicating. Just how-fa* the court will go. In according-"rtfs privilege to the law makers, is. however, problematic. The consensus on Capitol hill Is that beer of ft g, 4 or perhaps * 5 percent alcoholic content would pass the court's.constitutional test except two in halt a century have preferred blue as a color An inti- mate of the first lady-elect tells me that Mrs. Roosevelt prefers a robin’s egg shade with a touch of purple in it ...This will probably be called Eleanor Blue in the shops and will have its traditional vogue. Mrs. Taft and Mrs. Wilson, however, doted upon pink.... In a questionnaire sent out by a real estate man it appears thjat the reason New Yorkers buy homes and move to the subtfrbs is predominantly “to get advantages for the children.” ... .And it occurs to me suddenly that although I know only two people among my friends who own their own outlying homes, I know not a single one who was reared from childhood in apartments.
