Talt, of Polo, sponsored by the literary department and presented by, Mrs. N. 0. Phillips. Mrs.

Talt has been for years a student of Robert Burns, his poetry and his life, She Interested her audience from the beginning in facts, drawn from many sources in quotations from critics of authority and in her own shrewd comments and conclusions Beginning her talk with Robert Ingersoll's tribute to Burns that "A true poet is the most precious gift that can be bestowed on the generation'," she put this question: "What is the Influence of poet's work on his time?" and proceeded to answer it by building up an excellent case for Burns, based on his sincerity and his universality of appeal, his patriotism, sympathy, manly Independence and his genius as a lyric poet. Mrs. Tait reads Scotch acceptably and gave many of Burns's two hUn- dred and fifty-three "lyrics; also excerpts from the longer poems, to the satisfaction of her audience. Her selections included In full or In part: "Address to Diel" (with a clever reply by a Nova Scotia woman), "Tarn Shanter," (Shanter being the name of Thomas Graham's farm and the poem being written in one day); "John Anderson My Jo," "Flow Gently, Sweet Afton," "To a "To Mary in "Ye Banks and Braes o' Bonny Doon." "Scots Who Ha'e Wi, Wallace Bled!" "Holy Willie's Prayer;" "To the Unco Quid" and "The Cotter's Saturday Night" scenes like these old Scotia's grandeur Mrs. Tait touched lightly upon Burns's love' for Jean Armour.

The social hour was taken care of by Mrs. Normen C. Sleezer and Mrs. Glenn E. Gates.

H. P. Ousley, drama department, announced the speaker for March 4. This will be Harold A. Ehrensperger, widely-known authority on the modern drama.

COMMUNITY RESPONDS GENEROUSLY IN FOOD DONATIONS FOR NEEDY Large Quantity Of Provisions Are Gathered In "Food Bag" Campaign Demonstrating the usual generosity toward those in need of help, more than half the families in the city combined Saturday to contribute a greater quantity of food the second "Friendly Food Bag" campaign than in the first, held in October. The great mounds of food sacks gathered in the campaign sponsored by the boy scout council are being sorted at the W. T. Rawleigh building on East Stephenson street, in preparation for turning the goods over to the Community Service bureau for relief distribution. Those in charge estimated that 3,000 or more filled bags had been returned, and that although thirty or more boys and men spent most of Saturday in sorting, It would still take all of today and -a part of Tuesday to get the food ready for redistribution.

During all of Saturday morning 150 scouts and leaders were work- Ing throughout the city in the sections previously assigned to them, gathering up the sacks and loading them into trucks and into passenger cars to be taken to the central headquarters. A large crew was still working in the afternoon. The boy scouts were engaged in this entirely as a community good turn, The Rawleigh building this morning resembles a well-stocked store, Planks raised on oil barrels formed tables upon which were piled great heaps of rolled oats, macaroni, pancake flour and other package goods. Thousands of cans of tin goods lined the tables on one side of the room, Rice and beans are sorted into large packing case bins and several tons of potatoes are piled in large temporary bins at the back of the room. People who have given to the collection are invited to stop in at the collection center to see what cooperative effort has made possible.

The impression one gets there is that the people have again by their generosity lent a helping hand to their less fortunate neighbors and to the relief organizations, and that the boy scout organization has performed a valuable service to the community by proposing and sponsoring the Friendly Food Bag collections.

Hardle. Every state in the Union has a Quajr4 qr its WAR DEBTS WITH INTERNATIONAL TRADE IS SttOWK This noon the Rotary club listened to a talk on the war debts due the United States by Donald L. Breed, editor of The Journal-Standard. The settlement of the war debt controversy was described as one of the biggest problems which confronts the incoming Roosevelt, admlnistra- tlon. On the one the experts, the bankers, the economists and all of those who have studied the situation carefully have finally decided that drastic action is scale down or even cancel the debts.

On the other hand, the great American public, encouraged by the promises of many of those for, whom they voted at last November's election, are standing pat for payment to the last dot. To reconcile two points of view will call for considerably more legislative Intelligence than was required, for example, to submit the prohibition question to the states. The speaker began with a summary of the way the war debts came into being, and showed how hastily and heedlessly credit was given In the midst of the inspiration and enthusiasm of war. Winning the war was the pressing need, and paying the cost'of war was. unimportant.

The war must be won at all costs. It was won, and the fourteen years which have gone by have seen very little progress in retirement of the credits which made possible purchase of war material and supplies. The idea that the victors might collect all the costs of war from the vanquished has been seen to be impossible. There remains necessary adjustment of war costs between the victors themselves. Talks on Modes of Collection After sketching briefly the psychology of debtor and creditor, especially over a long period of years, the speaker went on to show the way in which collection international debts affects international trade.

The deb'ts, he said, are payable in gold and are only payable in two ways: first, by capital payments, or, second, by regular Instalments. The first Is out of the question, for there are no sufficient stocks of monetary gold available. The second, which was the method decided on in the debt funding agreement, is now revealing itself as a serious hindrance to the trade revival which Is so necessary if the economic Ills of the world are to be handled. The Instalments on debt payments, Mr. Breed said, can only be made out of the annual earnings of the debtor countries, in their International trade.

To pay instalments, a debtor nation must have, a surplus; that is, it must export more than it imports. But the United States also wishes to have an export surplus, and has, in fact, had such a surplus during most of the time since the armistice. If we are to receive regular payments on the debts, those payments must be made out of trade profits gained in competition with our own exporters. The notion that export trade is unimportant to us and can be given up was also discussed, and our dependency on that trade shown. With the aid of a chart, the different elements entering into our international trade were made clear, both the exports and the imports.

We were shown to be making every effort, with the aid of tariffs and all sorts of trade promotion, to Increase our exports and decrease our imports. This requires that the deficiency of imports be made up in one of three ways: (1) by gold imports, (2) by commodity imports, or (3) by extending further credits. Gold imports are possible only to a limited extent, since only small quantities of gold' can be moved outward by the debtor nations without endangering and depreciating their own currencies. Even the small amount that has been moved has thrown most of the nations of the world off the gold standard. Commodity imports are comparatively restricted, only the non-competitive kind being welcomed.

There remains the giving of credit, which has kept alive our export trade for a decade, but has built up for us net private obligations of four and one- third billions, in addition to the public and private debts previously owed us. Obviously, it cannot go on. Possibilities of Payment Viewed Finally, the speaker dealt with what he described the politics of the war debt problem, and mentioned the various means by which suitable arrangements could be made with the debtor nations. He said that he thought the negotiations would probably be long and strenuous, but would eventually, in the course of time, lead to some kind pf moratorium that would preserve the self- respect of both creditor and debtor nations without placing -further serious handicaps on the revival of trade which Is now so eagerly sought by all the industrial countries of the world.

McGuire, one of his codefendants, withdrew his previous plea and confessed guilt in the case. McGuire's new plea, entered before United States District Judge Alfred C.
