Perhaps there will be those who feel that it is ostentatious charity of a rich nation; others will wonder that a former enemy should lend a help- ing hand so soon after the war. But the gift will carry with it a message of good will, a new token of America’s ever. ready response to the appeal of human suffering, a new firmation of her friendship for all the peoples of the globe. While Soviet Leaders of Russia may rant at the govern- ment of the United States for having refused to recogniz2 @ government founded on assassination, the peasants will remember that the American Relief Association saved millions from starvation. While spokesmen in Austria and other nations to the east of Germany may cgst envious eyes at the United States, their people must feel the spirit of altruism which has marked the international relations of this nation. Although the rich United States is assailed for standing aloof in international affairs, the people abroad may yet feel the community of interest which is felt in this nation and perhaps on reflection appreciate the spirit for isolation which e: ' Nearly every international difficulty and war in Europe for centuries has had its origin in long-standing jealousy, blind. racial prejudice and selfish diplomacy. There are many who may feel that the nation is too quick to reach a helping hand abroad and too slow to render aid here, yet none need starve on this side of the Atlantic. The aid to Russia. to Germany, to other European countries is Amer- ica’s vow of good will toward all nations and a desire for peace. It bridges narrow nationalism and expresses a high patriotism. It will accomplish more thin scores of gather ings «round the conference table. s LIFE NOW LIKE JUNGLE WAR The law of the jungle is “the survival of the fittest.” This is the process of elimination by which nature kills off the weak and preserves the strong. The strong survivors breed, have strong offspring, and the race is gradually improved. The constant struggle between strong and weak strength- ens both. It especially strengthéns the weak. Cornered, fighting to survive, they develop cunning and intelligence’ to counterbalance their weakness. Primitive man, unable to conquer savage beasts with his hare hands, invented the war club and spear. “ To preserve themselves against the more ferocious beasts and Teptiles, primitive men had to unite—band together. So began civilization. Men have conquered the wild beasts, almost exterminated them. Behold, later, nature shifting hey tactics—bringing “survival of the fittest” into action another way. The com- mon enemies vanquished, men began fighting among them- selves, the strong dissatisfied with a fair portion, greedy to acquire also the share properly belonging to the weak. A great natural resource, oil, is developed. Part of it is set aside, reserved for the common good, for the whole people. Strong corporations gather about, licking their chops. The battle starts. Survival of the fittest, y And the final outcome will show that the whole public is stronger, more fit, than any individual of groups of individuals. Plenty of oil for all, the same as a fallen mastodon coull furnish meat to satisfy the hunger of every wolf in the pack. But the greedy wolves turned on each other, fought to the death, destroyed their weaker brothers, Oil is just one isolated instance typical of daily life — the strong battling the weak, winning when the weak are not united, and the victors later fighting among themselves ~:for the plunder. ‘Drop $100,000 in gold from an airplane, announce “finders keepers.” Let 10 men see the prize simultaneously.

THE PRESIDE) MIND ON THE NORTH T President Coolidge is not dis- posed to take the Senate “No” on the 'Norbeck-Burtness livestock loan bill as a final answer to the farm- ers of the Northwest in facilitating the movement to diversified farm- ing. At his behest the Cabinet has decided to ask the Agricultural Credit corporation, organized with private capital of 10 million dol- the activities which would have been undertaken under governmen- tal auspices if the Norbeck-Burt- | ne bill had passed, as the Pres- ident desired. It is proposed that the War Fi- ance conporation shall ment the 10 millions of private capital with a loan of 20 millions jto 30 millions of dollars with the object of direct help to farmers in diversification. This would not jbe a full substitution for the Nor- beck-Burtness livestock loan plan, but it probably would be the n est possible approach to it, con- sidering the temper of the Senate as exemplified in the vote on the loan measure. It seems that this phase of the farm emergency in the spring wheat country, needing immediate attention as it does, must be met, if at all, through pri- vate effort in co-operation with governmental agencies already in jexistence and functioning. It is disclosed once more in this suggestion of a modified program \for the Agricultural Credit corpor- ation that President Coolidge does not let the situation in the North- west go out of his mind in the p jof other matters occupying his |tention. He ig determined to be of structive helpfulness to the wheat farmers who were caught in ithe economic jam following the war, and his thought is on a quick- ened pace to diversification as a sound remedial expedient which shall work a good in this crop year and permanently thereafter. What- ever else may ‘be thought of arbi- . trary price-fixing, or legal devices to keep prices of farm products on satisfactory levels, these would be of little or no use to the farmers of the Northwest until after the ‘next crop harvests. For the most part farm products have moved off jthe farm and out of the farmer's control. On the other hand, a fly- ing start on diversified ¢farming, although only in a small way, would benefit thousands of farm- ers from the outset in some meas- ure. It would put them in the way of acquiring some income from the farm plant through the coming spring and summer. In the ’aggre- gate that would be a great help. Advices have come to the Pres- ident ‘and his official family that there has been a considerable bet- terment of the ‘rural banking situ- _keeps business going, making new articles.

A senator's wife sat burning the midnight oil. “That oilean promised to be home oily tonight," she mused as she rubbed her hands with almond oil, or cocoanut oil, or olive oil, or cottonseed oil, or oil of peppermint. Then she rubbed her head with hair oil. To do this she used elbow | grease. | “Hello,” said an oily tongue as the! ‘senator advanced across the well- loiled floor. She knew he had re- jturned from the oil probe well oiled because she smelled oil of cloves on his breath. “Oily to bed and oily to rise,” she sobbed, falling back and overturning }some cans of linseed oil, castor oil, whale oil, engine oil, peanut oi! and oil of cedar. The senator reached for the oil of camphor, but grabbed the oil of mustard instead. So his wife never recovered. MUSIC NOTES It's easy to sing when life goes along like a smile.
