In short, EDITORIAL REVIEW ee this Comments reproduced in column may or may. the op not express ot The Tribune. They ed here in order that nid. ay have both sides of important, issues which are being discussed in the press of the day. _————— Early in November the Monitor announced in a front page dispatch from Stockholm that the Swedish Minister of Foreign Affairs, Carl | Hederstjerna, had announced himself favorable to an alliance with Fin- | land—a striking piece of news. Since } the most probable threat to Sweden, he had said, was still to be feared from Russia, he felt it would be easier to defend the country along the Finnish border than on the Swed- ish territory. In other words, Swe- den would undertake to back up fu- ture Finnish independence as a bul- wark for itself against Russia. This bold declaration has caused such a storm of criticism and such sharp newspaper attacks that recently Min- ister Hederstjerna offered his resig- nation to the King upon the latter's return from his son's wedding in London. The new Minister of For- eign Affairs is Baron EF. T. Marks von Wurtemburg, rurmer chief judge of the supreme court and once the | country’s represefitative in the | League of Nations. The appointment | of such a high functionary, a special- This retirement should not be un- j derstood as an expression of Swedish hostility to Finland, The relations of the two countries are extremely ; cordial.

Surely we should be made thoughtful and appreciatively humble as we ponder how much more we have to be thankful for than the Pilgrims. STRANGE HOBBY The world’s greatest collection of fleas is presented to the British Museum, whose officials register exquisite delight. ‘ These fleas were collected by the late Nathaniel Roths- child, head of the famous London banking family. ; Rothschild took great pride in his fleas. He ransacked the world for them. Expense was no object. He even sent 2 costly expedition into the Far North to get a specimen of the flea that annoys a certain kind of Arctic seal. Strange things happen in World Vaudeville, but rarely anything stranger than this hobby of the rich banker. Up speaks Arthur F, Samme, Englishman, calling atten- tion to his own peculiar collection—match boxes. He has 476 different specimens, and he boasts that it took 14 years to acquire them. Samme claims, world’s greatest authority on match boxes. In two ways, it’s a striking hobby. with dignity and confidence, that he is the No doubt. Man’s instinct for accumulation is, in its simpler form, *: the quality or virtue known as thrift. Carried to extremes, to its logical conclusion, it is responsible for some people ‘ being too rich at the expense of others who remain too poor. ‘ Many a millionaire will smile at Mr. Samme collecting 1} match boxes or Mr. Rothschild collecting rare fleas. But the i match boxes and fleas have benefited their owners about as ive possession of dollars benefits the extreme- : much as ex » , ly rich. } A queer animal, at times, is man. In justice to Rothschild, it must be admitted that his hobby did the world a little good, since fleas spread diseases and a knowledge of them is obviously valuable. Which is more than can be said of some collections of dollars. FLOODED MARKET Germany has printed marks totaling into hundreds of quadrillions. The whole batch of them are worth abo $100,000 in American money, and this includes every mark in the world. i In flooding the market with this phoney money, Germany | has collected a fabulous sum from the people who bought | the marks, hoping they’d ‘come back.” Some Wall Street bankers estimate that Americans alone have lost (and Ger- many won)about three and a half billion dollars. The people | who bought marks are going to pay a large part of the Ger-/ e man indemnity, yes? | teeweenmen y PROLONGED LIFE | i ’- ‘The monkey gland treatment for old men is discussed at; Fi the Royal College of Physicians in England. The leading ¢ speaker, Professor E. H. Starling, says the only way to} 1 lengthen life materially is by eugenics —by breeding from c long-lived individuals.

The prohibition agent, Dismuke by name, adds that there seems to be less drinking among the students than among the discard. This is significant, for the success or failure of compulsory prohibitiori depends-on whether or not prohi- bition can prevent the rising generation, from getting the liquor habit. d Z INCREASE OF CARS- Railroads in the last 10 months put into service more new freight cars and locomotives than in any corresponding of the last 10 years.

Conservatives, the Liberals, and the , hermoe, Sweden has been by tradition as disinclined to foreign alliances as the United States. Since the dissolution of the century union with Norway in 1905, the coun- | try has pursued its own way. Dur- ing the war it made some approaches to both Norway and Denmark for mutual protection, but since the armistice this contact has not been kept up. Even wien Finland asked for aid to recover its independence from Russia, the Liberal and Social- ist government in Sweden turned an unhearing ear. The “activist” Con- must be adopted by the country all parties realize. An extra session of the Riksdag is to deal this fall with the problem of army reorganization The Socialists’ have,proposed radica cuts in the army; the Liberals go less far, andthe Conservatives, in conjunction with the army stan, op- pose any serious reduction. Before this question can be settled, a de- cision must be reached as to general orientation in foreign relations. The parties of the Left have led the coun- try with’ eagerness into the League of Nations, hoping for a general peace policy, while the Conseratives, skeptical of the League, still favor the old system of particular alliances, If Sweden were to decide to defend Finland against Russia, it wouis have to arm more heavi should continue to place is faith in the League.

LESLIE PRESCOTT, CARE OF THE SECRET DRAWER I am go glad, little Marquise, that I have taken your implied advice, particularly in writing to-you all my discontent and sorrows, when I have any. ¢ I believe that this. is one of the reasons why two people. who are married are ofttimes so unhappy. (Say what you will, everyone has to ‘get his anger, his grief, his jealousy and annoyance out of his system some way. Generally we pour it out to the one who is nearest us and the husband or wife is the scape- goat, It is very human to grow cured of being annoyed and unhappy. So the quarrels begin. If every wife had a little secret | drawer, like yours and mine, it might solve many of the problems of her married life. Almost always when-a woman speaks angry, contemptuous or cutting words to her husband, she is sorry for it, howe®er much they are deserved and of course doubly sorry if she finds that it is all a mis- take. I am not quite ‘sure—oh, why do I say that?—I am almost sure, in my heart I must confess I am really sure, that I have /a right to be very unhappy. So unhappy and miserable that I do not know where to begin. Perhaps as good a place as any to start is with Ruth's return from New York. She had been home three days be- fore she came to see me, I thought this rather strange, although I knew she was very busy and, if I had not gotten Jack to telephone that I was not able to get out-of the house, I really would have gone to see her and thought nothing about it. —_—$—$—$—_— THE TW SYMPOSIUM OF VIEWS OF CELEBRATED AMERICANS CONCERNING THANKSGIVING BY WILL ROGERS I suppose I ought to have a lot of servatists then clamored for action, | things to be thankful for besides as they had earlier in favor of Ger- ; turkey with the wife and kids, but many. |I ain't satisfied. ’ | dissa That some definite foreign policy} Of course I'm having a lot of fun comedies, but. | 1 aii t got su bad figger— nightgown dram That's what I'd like al for! to be thank BY BABE RUTH Beat Harry Heilmann for batting : That would have been BY One more chance es @} at the old pill in hth inning, with Say, I'd pase ? 6 Rut if 1 only *had somebody, up| ‘s There on this farm, to get out and BY MARY PICKFORD First, | should like to be thankful indisputably work of; Second, for having freed myself of keeping things for BY GEORGE J Co-Editor with H.
