GABNEB MAKES A BID. Speaker Garner's unequivocal es pousal of movement for repeal of pro hibition is his bid for the presidential nomination at the Democratic Na tional Convention next week. Hs has been foxy enough to sense the reac tion of the wets to the Republican platform, and he thinks he is taking ths side where a majority of the American people stand. Moreover, he doubtless thinks he is going a step further than any other prospective candidate for The Democratic nomina tion has thus far swung, unless it be Governor Ritchie of Maryland. No longer is there a likelihood that the Democratic declaration on pro hibition will be as mild or, as some aay. as ambtgious. as that adopted last week by the Republicans. Speak er Garner's declaration, therefore. Is at one and the same time intended as an encouragement for a dripping wet plank in the Democratic plat form and an unequivocal bid for the presidential nomination for himself. H* is letting It be known that he is ready to run on whatever proposition, however wet it may be, the party may adopt. This statement by the speaker may have the effect of forcing the hand of other candidates for the nomina tion. They have advanced slowly and cautiously toward the brink, but will now move with a trifle less fear and a bU more speed lest a competitor beat them to the coveted goal. The Garner declaration serves to prepare the country for what is to come, and It need not be surprised at any length to which the platform builders may ,go In courting the favor us the peo- P* of the country. There is at that A however, of over-stepping pthg mark. '* \ WE MITBT COME TO IT. Developments at Lausanne, where soma of the greatest statesmen of Europe are gathered discussing finan cial problems in general and inter national debts in particular, are mov ing as straight as an arrow toward the point to which this newspaper has been maintaining for month*'the world must eventually and inevitably come, namely, the cancellation dt, in ternational debts and reparations. That Is as certain aa anything In the future can be, and the world is hot going to get back on an even.keel until it is done. And the sooner R is over with tae batter off everybody is going to be aad the more quickly will the recovery from the depression set In. Gentlemen in Washington, including those in Congress, know this to be a fact. But they are not so bold in their statements because they know it is not safe politically for them tj> be go open. Sooner or later, and pro bably sooner than they think now, the American people themselves are go ing to come around to that con clusion. It is hard to think of foiy giving a debt of such magnitude as J£ujK>pe owes here now. When the dla cgßoion comes up, one hears it said sometimes that Europe's argument is that they fought the war and it is up bo America to pay for it, and they are going to see to it that we do pry the bill. Whatever may be Eu> rope’s desire in he matter, this thing has come now far beyond the stag* o t desires, or of good will or ill will. It is a question, and an imperative 9»s, of tha definita establishment, ot g pew efooomld and financial struc ture. or the only ether remaining al ternative of coßppse for virtually the entirr world. Already Germany has reached the end ot her rape. She cannot peg more. according to the best authorities, and that is not a question either of deli berate default. The burdens imposed upon that nation by the treaty of Versailles in the way of reparations would be so staggering, even to America, as big and as rich as this country is, that we have never been called updn to shoulder any obliga tions even remotely comparable with them, to say nothing of what It means to a people only half as great as ours, in population, and probably less than half as rich. When Germany defaults, it means that the Allied nations, which have been paying their debt to us largely with money they have col lected from Germany, will default here. We shall then be left with the bag to hold, with nothing in the bag and no prospect of anything being in it. In other words, whsther we ean cet our debts or not, they are. in the main, practically cancelled already be cause our debtors are unable to pay. To extend the moratorium would not Jhelp matters appreciably. The ghost of the debt would still be lurk ing in the dark to frighten and to startle. It is not the popular thing to talk or to suggest, but a fact never theless. that economic recovery de pends largely on debt cancellation. The program thie newspaper favors and which it long has advocated is three-fold. Let Europe disarm, in fact and in reality, and not merely on paper; let all the nations pull down their high tariff walls, not free trade, but back to reason; then cancel in ternational debts and reparations. If that were done, prosperity would re turn to the world almost overnight. Whether the idea is popular or not. the world must come to it, and the sooner it is done and over with, the better off every one is going to be and the more quickly we shall return to normal conditions. It would start a revival in international trade, gov ernment budgets would balance, jobs would be more plentiful, and many of our problems would vanish.

FORESTRY SCHOOL GROWING RAPIDLY ■" 1 b Raleigh, June 2s.—The most re markable record of growth of any department at State College in recent years has been made, according to Dr. E. C.

C.J DAILY DESPATCH’ WEDNESDAY, JUNE 22, 1932 By Central Pram Baris. June 2S—life around tha Dome and tfie Coupole is as various apd as exotic as ever. These faintly Bohemian, fhtntiy chic restaurants are . the rendezvous and. very I the Waterloo, of I hundred of young I Americans seek -1 lng Art and Life. I The otiher eve- I niog, sitting, ra ther fidgety, Jn aa uncomfortable —I chair before a table slightly larger than a serving dish, the quiet of the street—rather aay the tranquil bum — was broken by the arrival, in squads and platoons end huge buses, of some 500 gendarmes. An unemployed riot had broken out near the Coupole, and the police quelled the protestations of several dozen pink demonstrators by the process of smother&tion. Paris police don't believe in half measures. For a disturbance which in Manhattan would summon the of fices of not more than a dozen of ohe riot squad, the French constabulary turns out in hundreds. This, and London, are probably the beet policed cities i« the world; few human foibles in Paris are under the ban but those •that are promptly and severely get squelched. PARIS BY NIGHT The dark-to-da-wn carryings-on of Baris are still to be encountered, but they are no longer a prairie fire through a town overrun with rich Americans, South Americans, British and French Colonials. The whoopee is concentrated in a few favored spots. Montmartre, to m the most roman tic and the most engaging of Parisian neighborhoods, despite the removal of the American hoity-toity set to Mon par nasse. is almost as deserted as Broadway at 5 o’clock in the morning Time was when at that h -ur the dis trict was lively as a county fair. I talked to Joe Zelli last night. His newly decorated hotcha emporium is tomb-like. Scarcely a customer breaks the repose of a spot which has re sounded to the whoops of ten thou sand college boys on vacation. The collegiates. U may be told, are notice able absent from Paris this year. THEY STILL ARE HERE Yet it must not be supposed that the town is by any means deserted. Harry’s New York Bar is still lined several deep at the aperkif hour. I saw Sam Heßman there, and Lou | Holtz, and Earl Carroll, Elmer Rice and a dozen others equally well known, Carroll and Holtz were also to be seen at the Montmartre, the one big business cabaret of the district. Here in a room which is an exact replica of one of the most picturesque squares of the Coeur sector, laid out with identic hare, bastros and even the trees, the smart crowds gather nightly. The Americans visiting Paris this year seem to be of a slightly more re strained and dignified cast than those of last summer. They have their fun. but they do it with the dignity of those long accustomed to doing pretty much as they please. The fact is that the cabin boats are crowded—with those who in past years arrived via de luxe suites on the lie de France, the Bremen and the Mauretania. Now. having contracted tih* habit, they must come to Paris as U£l>al—and if they have less money to spend, they spend it with the new found gayety. It is difficult in this opinion, at least, to be truly gay in 10 rooms at th* Ritz. THE BHOWSHOPS More about Paris shows in another column, but the other evening I went 1 o the Casino de Paris and was lad to wonder how many Americans could sit through of these presentations on no more than a bottle of viohy wa ter. That being my ammunition for the evening. I found royseir squirming with sheer boredom. For the Casino this year has aband oned nudity, offering a show as proper as any to be seen in New York, and much more deconiß than most. One Marie Dubas is th e star of the piece, and while her attempts at comedy »ad the projection of personality are met with loud guffaws from the b*l eony and ths standees at the rear, I submit that Abe least distinguished of M Zlegfeld’s show ladies Would make La Dubas look as feeble as dhe Is. Don’t let me givgjtbe impression that I am piqued by the propriety. I have often wondered what a Parts re vue would be like if it didn’t rely mainly upon mere acreage of ex posed anatomy for Its box office draw Now I know. It’s terrible.

Thus the throe methods by which these local taxes, either county, dis trict or town, can be reduced this coaxing year, are as follows: 1. By reducing or eliminating the supplementary budgets for the six months school term. 2. By reducing the supplementary budgets for the extended term. 3. By holding the district tax levies down to the minimum needed to sup port the exetended term on the State standard. Last year it was not possible to do anything much about these supple mental or extended term taxes, since the Board of Equalisation did not get the Tax Reduction und of $1,500,000, used to help the extended term schools allocated until September, after the various county budgets had been made up. But this fund will be al located this year within the next 80 days, so that every county and every district will know just how much money it will get from this fund and hence know the exact amount of tax that will have to be levied to meet the cost of the extended term. So when the boards of county commis sioners meet the first Monday in Au gust to make up their budgets and levies for the coming year, there need be no guesswork. The average tax rate for the ex tended term last year in the various special districts was about 25 cents and many districts this year had a surplus as a result. It has also been true that in the past many schools have supplemented the six months term, either by providing extra teach ers or higher salaries, from funds se cured from this extended term levy. It is estimated here that an average district tax of 18 cents instead of 25 cents would be sufficient to provide the extended term in ail the districts if the State standards used in the six months term are used in the ad ditional two months extended term. It is also maintained that there is no valid reason for any local county tax to supplement the six months school term. This past year quite a number of counties supplemented the State supported six months term, one or two as much as 50 per cent. Meck lenburg and Guilford counties last year supplemented their six months school budgets, while Mecklenburg paid its teachers 10 percent more than the Skate salary schedule, or the same they had received before the 10 per cent salary reduction put into effect by the I*3l general assembly. It is understood that neither Mecklenburg nor Guilford counties will supplement the six months school term this year.

ARMS CONFERENCE HEARS IN BREATHLESS SILENCE Geneva. Switzerland, June 22.

The White House let it be known long before the bonus bill was voted on that President Hoover would veto it. even if it passed both house of con gress. It was hoped that this would discourage the threatened concentra tion of workless veterans, to lobby for its adoption. The veterans are bere, nevertheless, in ominous strength. The ‘ hting now is to prevent them, if possible; from capitalizing their presence by national publicity. The fact is, if the B. E. F. can stick it out on the barks of thePotomae a little longer, it will get, more or less, what it is after. It probably will not get the bonus. I have doubts of my own that that proposition is economically a very sound one. But basically the bonus is not what the veterans are here for. Their real demand is for jobs. Only that they are idle they would not be assembled almost in the shadow of the presidential mansion, clamoring for payment of their bonus certifi cates. They realize perfectly that the smallish sum each one would receive from his certificate would not lasi them long. Permanent employment la what they want.

Chief of Police Glassford talks con stantly of “evacuating” the demon strators "within 48 hours.” But how? He can hardly bring troops from Fort Meyer to disperse them forcibly. It would be flying in the face of over whelming public opinion. He can scarcely arrest 20,000 veterans as va grants.
