-00 of the Air.W a of Circulation BEER AT BVKNOS AIRES i i a i i of a a Buenos Aires the other evening saw an incident which proves, if any proof were needed, that whereas soldiers fight the wars they often have little real interest in them. Sailors from the British Achilles were in port, on a brief permit from the Argentine government, rnd there they encountered a bunch of sailors from the late German pocket battleship Graf Spec. Only a few weeks ago those group's of sailors were pouring volleys of explosive steel at each But when they met on neutral soil they showed no evidence of anger or hatred. Instead, they drank a round of beers together and raised their glasses in a mutual toast. The British soldier has nothing against the German soldier, the Russian soldier has nothing against the Finnish soldier.

They go where they are ordered, they clo what they are told, and they pour out their lives by the thousands because three or four men, who happen to be rulers, aren't able to get along among themselves. If those young men at Buenos Aires were their own masters they wouldn't be i i each other. Does anyone need any testimonial to the value of democracy and the necessity for maintaining it in our own country?

In its annual report to Congress, the ICC said that "remedial legislation such as it is possible" to evolve from the pending omnibus transportation bill "is desirable and should produce good results." It added: "Too much should not, however, be expected from it. The most important things it would do are these: (1) It would bring water carriers engaged in domestic trades within the commission's jurisdiction "and subject them to much the same' sort of regulation as is now provided for the railroads and motor carriers; and (2) it would create a new and temporary agency to study and report upon the relative economy and fitness of rail, water and motor carriers for transportation service with a view to promoting their coordinated use and avoiding wasteful and destructive competition, and upon the extent to which each of the throe types of carriers are in effect subsidized by the govern-.

me nt. "These are steps which we favor. Yet they reflect the dominant idea of the railroad com- 'mittee that the prime trouble with the railroads, apart from business conditions, lies in the fact that they are meeting with subsidized and inadequately regulated competition. "We venture the guess that even if this dominant thought is pursued in legislation and its subsequent administration to the full extent which the facts justify the railroads will continue to be faced with steadily increasing participation by other types of carriers in the transportation of this Anti-Lynch Bill Fight Started (Continued From Page 1) vey that only three lynchings took place in the United States last year, Sumners told reporters: "In the face of statistics that prove the states have solved this problem proponents of this bill are saying to the world that democracy has failed and that a federal law is necessary to do the -job." May Contain "Joker" Foes of the bill, constituting i a all the and a few Northern members, argued that it contains a "joker" a priviso designed to exclude from its penalties, "violence occurring during the course of picketing or boycotting or incident in connection with any 'labor dispute'." Behind the scenes in the snow- covered capitol, the battle over extending the reciprocal trade program was gathering momen. turn.

The American Federation of Labor announced its opposition to renewing the trade law when it expires June 12, and advocated that the present treaties be scrapped. Approval of the regular appropriation 1 bills might be post- poned for some time if Senator- Harrison's resolution for a by a special budgetary committee should be enacted. Senator Bankhpad (D-AIa), a brother of the speaker of the House, said he would "object to holding up the business of Congress by needless delay." Similar comments came from Senators Mead (D-NY) and Smathers (D-NJ). Senator Austin on the other hand, told reporters that a complete survey of national defense outlays should be included.

J. E. Cairo Farmer Sues City of Moberly; $50,000 Asked of Wabash'by Sturgeon Man A damag-e suit for $2,350 against the City of Moberly, and one for $50,000 against the Wabash railroad were filed in circuit court here Saturday, T. M. Boyer, farmer near Cairo, is plaintiff in the action against the city, while Lambert A.

Meyers, Sturgeon garage -mechanic, is plaintiff in the action against the C. M. Hulen, local attorney, represents both plaintiffs. Mr. Boyer, in his petition, alleges that raising of the dam at the city's Sugar Creek reservoir had Damaged his 100-acre farm near Cairo.

Two creeks run through 60 acres of his farm, the petition sets out, and as a result of raising the reservoir dam in 1938 the natural drainage course on his land has been stopped. As a result of overflows and deposits of sand left 15 acres of the land lias been made wholly unfit for use, Mr. Boyer alleges. As a result he asks damages of $100 per acre for that acres, asserting that before the overflows it was highly -pro- duccive land. The other 85 acres is listed as useable only for pasture and he asks damages of S10 per acre for that, to bring the total judgment, sought to $2,350.

Mr. Meyers' suit is the outgrowth of a grade crossing accident at Sturgeon November 3, of last year. He was riding in a car driven by Roy Barnes, of Sturgeon, which was struck by a Wabash train at a Sturgeon crossing. The plaintiff cites an ordinance of the town of Sturgeon fixing the speed limit of trains through the Sturgeon city limits at 6 miles per hour, and alleges excessive speed and negligence on the part of em- ploye's of the railroad. Alleging that he was badly as a result of the accident, and that the injuries are permanent, and that he has been forced to expend large sums for hospital treatment, Mr.

'Meyers' asks judgment for $50,000 damages. Both of the suits are docketed for hearing at the February term of court, which opens here February 5.
