...Washington. ¶ Since the World War, U. S. Presidents have grown accustomed to dunning other nations to pay their debts. President Roosevelt last week had a taste of being dunned. Dr. Ricardo J. Alfaro, Minister of Panama, demanded once more that the U. S. pay its canal debt to Panama in gold as specified by treaty, not in devalued dollars. Twice Panama has turned back interest checks for $250,000 in 59? dollars, demanding the 100? gold dollars which the U. S. solemnly covenanted to pay.

...fees not only to the Benevolent Association but also to the city, under a new ordinance. Editor Jee, who had taken a degree in Political Science at Haverford College, Pa., exhorted the laundrymen to Organize. They did, and soon ran afoul of the Benevolent Association. In his little Canal Street print shop, crusading Editor Jee's ink-brush splashed out pages of copy flaying the Association for "corrupt practices." Frightened advertisers pulled out of the Journal while Editor Jee raged at the Association for "sucking the blood and sweat out of the Chinese...
