Inc. copyright and all other On Thanksgiving Day, New York Is rather lonely. The streets are bare; you can see 'five or six blocks Bhead of you. All that can go have taken their automobiles into the country. It is a warm day.

There are ghosts along Fifth ave HUB of those that once drove up nnd down slowly, pulled by horses- fine ladles with purple parsols, in their open victorias, noses tilted slightly upward, old-fashioned gentlemen with whiskers on the sides of their faces, -white waistcoats in the daytime, proud of small feet. Perhaps the short old man play- Ing a small hand-organ, and looking up windows where servants live, sees some of those ghosts. He is an old New Yorker, still speaks German better than English, remembers people and things as he grinds out the Marseillaise, with extra emphasis on aliens les oitoyens, formez vox batalllons. That tune, the old man explains, is a song that Frenchmen and Socialists, too, but it is old, and nobody knows what it is any more. That would' surprise Roget ds Lisle, head was left on his shoulders by the revolutionary tribunal because, when asked If he had, any reason to offer why he should not be guillotined, he remarked that 'he had written the Marseillaise.

This is for President I.Roosevelt himself, no understudy: 11 you issue bonds for that money, Mr. President, the will pay sixteen or eighteen billions before the debt of eight or nine billions Is canceled.

They mean that YOU, Mr. President, will inflate. And they mean, in plain English, that they cannot trust YOU not to inflate.

You are the only one that could allow the country to start reckless, dangerous inflation. It could be done only with your consent. Anybody with an ounce of intelligence knows that you would NEVER consent. that do not trust do not believe you would have the strength to say, "No, we shall spend so much, and no on your borrowing at Interest, compelling the country to pay double the amount it borrows, because they think you would not have strength to stick, to a good resolution, They know that you could prevent wild inflation, if Congress were to attempt it, and they pay you a poor compliment wjien they insist on interest-bearing bonds, that you may hold down expenditures and money printing by fear of an interest, device doubling the sum total of your expenditure. You, the President, may decide what the country shall spend.

Why, not print that much money, spend it, then stop?

Shell Quietly Enlarging It; RoxanaPlant Work on Asphalt, Wax Units Visible From Highway Cut Up Old Cracker Make Way for New Silent dn Construction The new construction program which was quietly launched by the Shell Petroleum Corp.

at Its Wood River plant has developed into an effort in at least one unit to get work advanced far enough so, closing in a building will make it possible to continue work even -when the weather does become very cold. The unit where work is looming so that it can be seen from a distant highway, is on a building intended, it is said, for a de-waxing and a de-asphalting plant, part of a great lubricating plant said'to be a unit In the ambitious construction program about which the Shell corporation has been so modestly keeping utter silence. is the rising of the skeleton iron work near the center 'of the grounds to a degree of-high-visibility from the distant highway, that has been attracting attention. Work is being pressed-on this steer frame work so that the roof can be put on and the sides closed in to protect workers against winter weather while they carry on interior construction work, and install equipment. Dismantle Dubbs Units.

At the same time several of the old Dubbs units are being dismantled to make room, it is said, for a new Dubbs cracking plant. To remove these old Dubbs units it is necessary to cut them apart by the use of torches, as they were put together very substantially years ago, and age has not diminished the difficulty of taking them The pipe work is being unscrewed so that much of it can be used again but heavy parts have to be burned with torches to get. them down. It is said that on the ground where these units are being dismantled a new cracking plant will be erected which, when completed, will take the place of some of the old Dubbs units, now obsolete. This project is said to be separate afcatt-fromHhe broking olthe.

One report has it that many additional new tanks are' to be constructed later, the story being that it may run as high as 60 before the construction program is completed. No announcement has ever been given and no explanation has ever been made of -the secrecy maintained in this construction work at the Shell plant. Reports, which are neither authoritatively denied or affirmed, have it that the -cost of the work will run into a very large sum and that when it Is completed the Shell plant here will be far advanced in importance as a production unit of the Shell Petroleum Corp. system of refineries.

"It is according to this principle," Hirota said in a long-awaited speech, "that Japan proposes abolition of the ratio principle hitherto In force and establishment of a tDrnmon upper limit for the powers concerned (Japan, the United States States and Great Britain)." In insisting upon abolition of the ratio principle in naval disarmament, 'Hirota declared the country is actuated by "the spirit of disarmament." "In consonance with the spirit of disarmament we desire to bring about thorough and drastic naval reduction and to lighten thereby the tax burden of nations in the future," he said. "To that end we desire to bring down this common upper limit to the'lowest level possible and at the same time through drastic reduction and limitation of offensive arms and proper adjustment in defensive arms, to render it difficult for any power to attack another but easy to defend itself." In his report Hirota did not include Japan's preparations to denounce the Washington naval treaty. "Our delegates are continuing their efforts toward realization of our plan based on the above policy and at the same time toward conclusion of a new and reasonable treaty," he asserted.

"It is to be hoped that Great Britain, the United States and other powers concerned will see the equity and justice of our claim and a new naval pact will be brought into being to Insure and promote world peace." as Autos Collide At Godfrey Teachers of Carlinville And Roodhouse Schools In Hospital Cars Hit Head-On Family of Fornier State Representative Victims in Accident Monroe Ready to Call Senate Revenue Group 8P.RINapIBLD, 111., Nov. 30 3enator James Monroe of Col- Insvllle today suggested mem- of the Senate revenue commlt- ae, of which he Is chairman, that meet next week to discuss leg- slative plans for raising $36,000,000 relief funds for next year, Monroe said that If a majority of qommlttoemen ngree he will call into session next Friday and Saturday.
