RUSSIA’S ANSWER TO AMERICA
That there may be something to tile answer of Russia in
• stating she has no connection officially with the Communist
Internationale, is ns probably true as that the official govern-
ment of this country has no connection with, nor does it as-
sume any responsibility for the doctrines, nor the deliberations
and activities of any labor organization, clnireh, lodge, or po-
litical group.
If we were led to sign with Russia an agreement which
bound Russia officially not to interfere with our standards of.
aocial or political life, as it is*
claimed, then it may be that
we did not look into this fea-
ture-which would absovo offici-
al Russia as such from those
activities claimed by Ambassa-
dor Bullitt as being noted in a
meeting of the Communist In-
ternationale in Moscow' recent-
ly. Maybe we are asking too
much of Russia under the cir-
vcumstanccs in connection with
^the meeting, and maybe their
stand is right under the cir-
cumstances just as this Nation
would Be right in refusing to
be responsible for the deliber-
ations of any meetings and
doctrines of any of the organi-
sations indicated that are to be
found within our borders.

YEARS AGO
How'ever, it remains true,
that when wc invited Russia
to enter our doors diplomati-
cally, we also took the hazards
of getting the very thing wo
now protest, ft We don’t like
those Ihings, there is but one
way out and that is to again
close the bars and call our am-
bassador home.
However, with the large
volume of trade thrown open
lo America by virtue of having
diplomatic relations with Rus-
sia business pressure will go a
long wny, and our patience
will stand a lot of straining be-
fore such an eventuality is
likely to take place.
JAPAN TO FURNISH ARMS
The story that Japan is to
furnish arms for Ethiopia for
a period of months is ample
quantity and considerable va-
riety, will come as an interest-
ing, if not suggestive bit of
news. With Japan casting
about for a foothold in those
waters and in that part of the
Bl , -s^orld, and with her imperial-
istie. ideas and determination
to find larger territory for her
population, it will not be hard
vo see that there must be some
motive back of her proffer to
Ethiopia.
Japan and Germany are mak-
ing eyes at each other, and
should Italy get too busy with
affairs in far-away Ethiopia,
should Germany and Japan
unite to cash iu on the trouble
between Italy and Ethiopia, if
would be too bad for Italy, and
Japan could get what she then
wants readily granted from
Ethiopia.
Mussolini, like all other pow-
cr-viftssed men, can not see
Wisely what he faces becaurse
of his warped viewpoint. The
men of all times who have
'dreamed of domineering oilier
nations and overriding the ad-
vice of sober people have come
to naught in their mad efforts
for establishing themselves ov

tions.

Denison To Sue
Delinquent Tax
Payers In City
City Attorney Inatructed to
Inatitute Suita After Le-
brecht Report.
Law suits against delinquent tax
payers in Denison will be institut-
ed in the next few days by the
city administration, it was an-
nounced from the city hall today,
following a meeting of the city-
council Wednesday night.
The council said that Denison
has more delinquent taxes than
the rest of the entire county com-
bined. The suit* will include per-
sonal, street and paving taxes.
Ross Stoddard, city attorney,
was instructed by the city council
to start the suits as soon as Walter
Lebrecht, city tax assessor, has
completed his list of delinquent
taxpayers. If the taxpayers lose
the suits, they are liable to pay
court costs, attorney fees and
other costs, city officials pointed
out.
T. B. Murphy, tax collector, will
immediately begin a compaign to
collect delinquent personal taxes
before suits are instituted. He
has been street tax collector here-

CHICAGO—The long search for
the whereabouts of Dillinger’s
right hand man and gunner, John
Hamilton, came to an end Wed-
nesday when his body,
with lye and buried in a gravel
pit near Chicago, was located.
Hamilton, who was declared to
be one of the most heartless kill-
ers of all times, has been the ob-
ject of a determined hunt since
he, with Dillinger and others, shot
their way out of trap set for them
in a road house in Wisconsin in
April of 1934.
Evidence indicated that the
body had been first stripped of
clothing to eliminate identifica-
tion, a shallow grave dug into
which the body was carelessly
thrown and lye thrown over it to
aid decomposition. It is thought
he was dragged from the auto in
which he fled from Wisconsin af-
ter his fatal injuries being re-
covered ceived in the battle with Federal
officers. His identity was estab-
lished by certain characteristics of
the teeth.
Hamilton was the ninth of the
late Dillinger gang to meet his
death. Although his whereabout
has been uncertain nutil now, it
was confidently believed he was
dead. All the others left and who
escaped at the time Hamilton re-
ceived his fatal shots, have also
been captured and the discovery of
his body completely winds up the
Dillinger mob, according to re-
ports of Federal men.

Means Talx Payment
The council said that it would
mean the prompt payment of taxes
by local citizens if they vote the
bonds, as the city has a large
amount of bonds at the present
time and the new ones can only
be handled through taxes. At the
present time, more than $27,000
of 1934 taxes are delinquent with
at lea-t $130,000 due from prev-
ious years.
A move is on hand at the pres-
ent time to start suits on delin-
quent taxpayers here.
Seeks Cooperation
The council said that Denison
could maintain the present bonds
and the new ones and the city
expenses only through the cooper-
ation of citizns in the prompt pay-
ment of their taxes. The new
bonds would not increase the tax
rate.
This will moan that there will
be no more tax reductions here,
ami the council said that it would,
be useless for property owners to
ask for such. They did say that
there would be some evaluation
