able power compression Is that of
the flying engine, which compresses
the power of a l.iXHKpound horse
into less than throe ixtunds of metal.
The government offered for sale
six hundred millions of per rent
bonds, four hunilreil millions of 1%
per cent notes. The whole Issue Is
oversubscribed.
It Is it comfort fur those that
have.money ami want no risk to
Invest even at low Interest rates,
free of income tux payments.
Such an Investment Is much sim-
pler than running the risk of n
business enterprise with pay rolls
and jobs attached.
To tax heavily the man who uses

In others, ami free from taxation

New French Premier Helps
Labor Win All Demands
STRIKING workers whu paralysed
the industrial life of France at
the moment when the "popular
front" socialist majority was taklug
ovor the reins of the government,
won complete victory with tIt -' aid
of l.eon Ilium, new premier. As the
general strike was settled, a dis-
quieting note was added by a walk-
out of I.'i.ihH) coal miners and tex
tile workers in northern France.
Labor wi>n tiie following five de-
mands ;
1. Wage Increases from 7 t 1"
per cent.
ÍÍ, Itecognltlon of workers' rights
to organize In uuloiis.
. A forty hour work week.
•). Vacations with pay.
5. Collective bargaining contracts.
Settling .of the strike marked a
significant victory for the new gov-
ernment which as-
sumed extraordina-
ry powers to de-
vise measures to
bolster France's
fiinincliil system
and revitalise na-
t I o n a I defenses.
"White c olla r"
workers were the
only group exclud-
ed from the gener-
al agreement which
was signed by em-
ployers at the behest of the govern-
ment, but the premier promised re-
lief for them. Premier Plum
gained support from conservative
forces with Ills announcement that
"The People's Front Is and will re
main hostile to devaluation of the
currency." The end of the strike
restored a measure of contiilence to
a panlc-strleken nation faced with
possible famine duo to the tie-up of
Its transportation, processlna and
distribution systems by l,UOO,(K)ti
striking workers.

President Itoosevelt in a state
mout from the White House ox
pressed well the high esteem In
which Mr. Burns was held. Ho said:
"Fearless, incorruptible, unsellish.
with a high sense of Justice, wise In
counsel, broad of vision, calm In ad
versify, and modest In victory, he
served his state and the nation with
fidelity, honor, ami great usefulness.

a steadfast friend of many years."
