Not At Us—_ ; Chance for Mistake ‘The negro hiisky reported for work to his new foreman. | “What is your name?” asked the| foreman: & y | “Simpson,” replied the negro. | “Very well, then, go over and load those logs énto that car.” 3 The negro workman struggled with the logs for a long time and then left in disgust. He sought out the foreman and voiced his feelings. “Say boss! You must have made a mistake. I said Simpson, not Samp- son.” We know this is an old one, but this is a dull day. —Better Than Nothing— Perhaps Perhaps some one has heard the sad fate of the editor who was so busy telling peopld to get out and do their Christmas shopping early that he didn’t get around to do his :own until the rush was on. ~Do Your Xmas Hunting Early— Suggestions for Christmas For father—Box of cigars, necktie or similar article to help brighten up the house.

So you might ns‘ well come and have a smoke with us.” —7You Know the Rest— From Low to High When your vitality runs iow, eat a box of raisins.

The Soviet government In the eyes of the French bondholders any deal- ings with the Soviets, especially trade relations, serves to strengthen the Bolshevik regime and lessen just that much the chances of their bonds ever being paid. Until the Bolsheviks agree to pay Russia’s debts, France can never equinamity any nation resuming re- lations of any kind with them—least of all her former allies. France recognized and backed Wrangel because he promised to erect a stable government upon democrqtic principles and recognize the Russian debt. England chose not to deal with Wrangel. France cannot see where it was any crime to act as she did. Lloyd George's attitude upon the Upper Silesian problem touched an even more vital spot—that of national security. The coal and iron mines of the Silesian basin constitute a veri- table potential arsenal, comprising all the basic materials for making war. Naturally, France was vitally inter- ested in sceing that Germany got as little of the industrial basis as was consistent with the plebiscite results. She frankly feared that some way Germany might use this “arsenal” in another war against her. Also natu- rally France preferred to see her ally Poland get the lion’s share. The plebiscite results were so scrambled, owing to the mixture of races, that the exact partition line was a debateable question. England promptly took sides against Poland— which, in.the French view, virtually meant supporting Germany. England claimed the major portion should go to Germany. France claimed it should go to Poland. French public opin- jon cannot grasp the reasons for England’s attitude. The knotty prob- lem was handed to the League of Na- tions. But ‘Frenchmen cannot but think that they were treated unjustly by their former ally. Perhaps the thing that smarts most is England’s position regarding repa- rations. - It is charged that England has consistently tried to make mat- ters as easy many, usuailly at the expense of France. It is emphasized that Eng- land will worry little if she never gets complished the ruin of the competing German merchant marine and the German navy is at the bottom of the sea, Her homeland is untouched by But for France with millions of acres of her richest provinces and, towns laid waste, the question of rep- death, She has already advanced ove: six billions of francs to her country-} men .on Germany’s account for rep-; arations. It is widely charged: that both in! fiing the amount of reparations and’ in executing the collections, England has held back. And France is the main sufferer. As far as Frenchmen can perceive England’s policy toward Germany and Russia is not animated by any love of these countries; but in the in- terests of her foreign trade. She wants these countries rehabilitated so 'she can sell them goods. But every cent of profit under such circum- | stances comes right out.of the pocket~ ;hook of France, the French claim. i The Weisbaden agreement was merely an effort by France to get some of her money while the getting was good. Germany could and would furnish material for reparation. This would avoid the interminable waiting for money payments. . England did not object.” It was only after the Tranco-Kemalist accord that England developed acute objections, but only to the method &nd " not ‘the fact. Frenchmen cannot understand why. The most recent divergence was over the Franco-Kemalist accord. No- body. was more surprised than the French foreign office “when England objected.
