G. Publish 3 Thursday, October 22, 1931 PREMIER LAVAL'S VISIT PIERRE LAVAL will soon be the guest of President Hoover in Washington. His visit is of highest importance to the and will play an important part in bringing about the restoration of world confidence. The visit has been compared with those memorable dates such as the signing of the alliance of 1778, the coming of Lafayette, the surrender of Cornwallis, the -reading of President Wilson's war message and Pershing's arrival on French soil. There lias been much speculation as to the purpose of Premier Laval's visit.

Some say that he will urge reciprocal action toward removing trade barriers. Others that he will propose 25 per cent reductions of military budgets, accompanied by reductions of war debts, and it even is hinted that he is interested in the chances for light wires to be approved by the United States. More than likely the premier is interested in all the questions affecting the two countries but most of all the matter of debts and of money standards. The United States and France between them, according to Charles Merz in the New York Times Sunday magazine, control three-fourths of the world supply of monetary gold. With nations of Europe the gold standard and the British 'pound fluctuating, the value of currency and credit in these two countries remains unimpaired.

For this reason the United States and France are far better able than other countries actually to do something to meet the situation. France further has the largest "army in the world and the United States has now the largest expenditure for military and naval purposes. Though both have recognized the importance of the limitation of armaments they have disagreed as to methods. Premier Laval will be in Washington less than four days. However, all preliminary work will have been done before the heads of the American government and the French republic meet to discuss what can be done.

POLITICAL POSTMASTERS HEN Postmaster' General Brown advised postmasters of the first three classes that they legally can and morally should support the administration in the next presidential campaign, and when opposition leaders criticized the postmaster general for his remarks, did any. of them imagine for 1 BUILDING AND LOAN ORGANIZATIONS FACT that building and loan concerns are among the most sound in the country was broight out at the recent annual convention of the Massachusetts Co-operative Bank League. The tides of liquidation charac- teritic of periods of depression have made no disturbing inroads on the soundness of these concerns. Total ass ts of building and loan societies of the country rose per cent last yea; 1 and now exceed $9,000,000,000, showing that investors are increasingly putting their money and confidence in building and loan institutions. However, due to adverse business conditions in the country as whole, a number of home buyers have been unable to keep up their monthly payments.

Yet no alarm is felt, since the percentage of foreclosures to the total is less than per cent. Ir eight states per capita building and loan assets increased $5.00 or more in comparison with estimates mac a year ago on a basis of the 193C census and U. S. building and loar statistics. Nevada is well in the 22, 11931 a per capita gain of leac with $13.30.

A a result of these increases it is apparent that financial backing for the substantial increase in the nations home owners is centered chiefly in building and loan associations, which lend the savings of their members only on residential real estate.

T. What's What in Washington again. If you did you would find that the pound was back. The pound of an overweight is much more likely to come back than the British pound sterling. (That wasn't so good, but it will do as a period of depression joke, and as far as I can see it's just as good as most of the depression jokes nowadays.) As a matter oi' fact, bathing of any kind does absolutely nothing to reduce weight.

The physiology of the situation is all against it. If the bath did not call out any perspiration there might be a chance of its accomplishing some reduction, I but when the perspiration comes out weight redustion possibilities fade. This is because there are only three ways weigh; can be lost. One is by reducing the intake of food; the second is by using up more body tissue by exercise, and the third is by increasing the internal combustion and heat of the body. The bath is obviously directed toward the third of these methods.

So long as no dispute arises between any two or more of the signatories of such a document as the Kellogg treaty, for example, the covenant presents a very attractive appearance on paper. However, let one member of the group launch a military campaign against a fellow member, as Japan -)ta Kellogg pact adherent) recently did against China (a second adherent) and an exceedingly embarrassing situation immeditaely confronts the bargain's bystander adherents, bound as they are by their mutual understanding to intervene pacifically in the quarrel, yet quite aware the country which launched Gilmartm, James H.

When he said there is nothing in fa the law to prevent campaigning for the president he meant that they must let nothing keep them from it. But why all the furore over the words of a postmaster general? Every postmaster general since the beginning of the spoils system has been repeating them every four years or of tener and every politician and voter expect them to.

Postmaster General Brown erred not in his partisanship but in his inconsistency. After telling the post- masters to give part of their time to playing politics and securing their Jobs for another four years he urged them to maintain efficiency and bring down operating costs. Judging from the size of the ptfstoffice department's postmaster deficit every year the general and his postmasters have no leisure for playing politics. "THE HAPPY MORON" NOMAD," who has a corner all to himself in The Boston Transcript, remarks that by this time Prof Shaw probably is sorry that he Said whistlers were morons, "unless'pub- licity was his object when he said it." "The Nomad" continues: He has the publicity all right. The whistlers have responded; they are a mighty, army comprising a majority of the male inhabitants of America and a considerable proportion of the females.

Anqually mighty army are the morons; yet though the whistlers are as the sands of the sea, they do not all answer to the title of morons, though they need not be ashamed of that if they were. God must have loved morons--he made so many of them. See the happy moron He doesn't give a damn. I wish I were a moron. My God Terhaps I ami Martin Van Buren was the first exploded.

This doesn't mean that the people of Chile have gone pacifist. They are ot foolish.

Perhaps then- example is not altogether to be emulated, for Chile has special geographic and political conditions to justify such a sudden radical and even emotional change in the general defense policy. But theii example is something to be cons: dered and studied.

Even though the personnel of the rebellious fleet was it the moral disadvantage from mutineers generally suffer, its helplessness under the shadow of a few planes with bombs ready to drop is highly suggestive of approaching obsoleteness. Detroit Free Press. Leota Maestretti. Mr, C. L.

Stimson upon the outbreak of hostilities (perhaps not actual warfare, but sure-enough fighting), between Japan and China in Manchuria last September. China, indeed, being hopelessly outclassed by Japan except in point of undisciplined, ill-armed numbers, far from objecting to outside intervention, has clamored loudly for it-under the Kellogg treaty, by the league of nations or from any other source--but Tokyo has given the world plainly to understand that the i Of course, the United States, Japan and China are not the only countries included in the Kellogg agreement; there are many others. For all that, it essentially is an American treaty.

It was the brainchild of an American secretary of state--Frank B. Kellogg, Secretary Stimson's predecessor. It was through American diplomatic efforts that Japan, China and all the remainder were induced to sign it. American statesmanship always has claimed credit for it.

the temperature of the body at tho proper level the fact that there is profuse perspiraion after a hot bath keeps down any weight loss by internal heat. The bath docs not increase internal combustion perceptibly whatever. Medicated baths sire equally futile. The ingredients of most of tho bath salts designed for reducing are simply borax or epsom salts or a combination of similar simple materials. Their action, if any, is to open the pores and relax the skin.

Mostly their action is nil. Part of the psychology of the reduction bath is the feeling of light- ness one has after tho bath. Thia is duo to the relaxation of the cir- latory system, the reduction in blood pressure, and especially the reduction in blood pressure in the blood vessels of the brain. Awl thore is an element of danger in this. I was not long ago called in on an emergency call at a neighbor's.

One of the members of the household had taken a medicated bath for reduction purposes and had fainted afterward. For nearly an hour she was in a distinct state of shock. SUITS FILED Muriel N. Johnson vs. Stephen N.

Thus, had Secretary Stimson seen fit to make representations to Tokyo Nanking under the terms of the Kellogg pact they would have been conspicuously American, rather than international, representations, and Washington would have had to accept responsibility for them: On the opposite hand, America takes no direct responsibility whatever for the league of representations, not being a member of the league. True, the Washington administration has announced itself as heartily in support of the league's peace efforts in Manchuria, but supporting the league's efforts in decidedly less dubious a proposition than initiating its own. terference, no'matter from what quarter. Possibly there is no better reason why the United States should interfere, by virtue of the Kellogg pact, In the Chino-Japanese difficulty, than why the league of nations should Interfere in it, on general principles--but certainly there is as good reason for the one to Interfere as for the other to do so. Nevertheless, it evidently seemed judicious to Secretary Stimson to yield precedence to the league of nations.

That was the course he pursued, anyhow. No one questions the wisdom of his policy; Some folk refer to it as a case of buck passing, but all concede that the buck was red hot, and that it was sound judgment, if not the highest quality of nerve, to get rid of it in a hurry.
