RNS AND -_ precious unlikely Nevertheless was quite an inspiration on the | part of General Chamorro, as de facto president of | Nicaragua, to complain to the league that Mexico— | they say he hinted at this counrty, too—has been | helping Nicaraguan revolutionjsts’ attempts to | everthrow the government. | Chamorro, a smooth diplomat, well known in} Washington, doubtless was as well aware as the | next man that the league would think a long time | before defying the Monroe doctrine. However, he | placed it in a position where it had to go through seme motions. Technically, from the league’s standpoint, he has | a strong e-—uassuming, of course, that he can Prove it. The league can hardly save its face with- out giving due attention to his appeal, and yet, what can it do about it? It would have to resort to force, if worst came to worst. j Imagine the league of nations landing troops in! Mexico! Imagine any world league, crazy enough to think of such a thing, in the face of the thrice blessed Monroe doctrine! “Nobody understands very clearly what it is, but that is just the trouble—it’s 50 elastic. { The league simply will sidestep. It can't do! otherwise, no matter what Chamorro proves. | As between the United States and Latin America, | the Menroe doctrine is not very popular with Latip | America. But as between Latin America and Eu-| rope, it is exceedingly popular with Latin Ameri- cans, Carried too far, Latin America might fight it—| against this country. Let Europe challenge it and | they'd be behind it to the last republic, As a neigh- | zbor, the Latin Americans are afraid of the United; States. As a protector, they know which side their bread is buttered on. General Chamorro is nobody's fool. He wanted, publicity. As a petty president—only de facto, at! that—he found difficulty in getting it. By getting ‘the United States and the league of nations into a jam, over his case, he turned the trick neatly. The United States refused to recognize his gov- ernment. He has forced it to become, in a sense, his -protector. Maybe he has been bothered by a cer- stain amount of filibustering from this country and *Mexic2. If so, he has made it so noticeable that it ycan’t well continue.

This is essentially an age of, by and for youth. Why, then, should a person, least of all a woman, brand herself with an unnecessary accumulation of years, as far as-the general public is concerned? The point at issue is only this—are you over twen- | ty-one, are you within the voting age? The vote, of a woman of seventy counts no more than that of | a woman of twenty-two. Therefore the public in- | terest would be equally as well served if the woman | of seventy said, “I am over twenty-one,” ae if she | said, “I am seventy years old.” b { Of course, to mere man, the tenderness of the ; female sensibilities as to age have always proved rather amusing and privately men have much fui, joking about it, yet most men do sympathize with women in this regard. Men are supposed to be old- | er and more rugged, but much of « woman’s charm | lies in her youth and freshness. Thus, we think, } us a matter of chivalry alone, the question asked | should be-—“Are yeu over twenty-one yeats of! age?” | EAN EY ELA aaa | The Worker Benefits | As a reflection of the fact that the common day | worker has profited as much by our present and re-| cent prosperity as has the manufacturer and specu- | lator, we may point out that the factory payrolls | in 1926 have exceeded those in 1925 in every month | since the beginning of the year.

It is not an ap- | The; aintained a high average, too, and, every working man has hag th inet oppgrtunity | The bank deposits go to prove that labor has realized its chance and has stored! up much of this increase in cash resources toward | a possible lean period.

Why This Change of Heart? | (Minneapolis Journal) 1 Why are the eastern trunk lines now opposing | grain rate justice for the northwest, when two years ago they went on record in favor of it? Why do they now scek to defeat the very plan for} reducing the differential advantage held by lake- and-rail rates over all-rail rates, which two years! ago they agreed to support? These questions are raised by the testimony sub- mitted yesterday on the first day of the Minneapolis | hearing before Interstate Commerce Cummissicner Campbell. They now oppose the six-cent reduction in the all-rail r to the seaboard which was an- nounced by the Minneapolis & St. Louis and the Soo roads, but whjch has been suspended by the com-; mission, pending 4 hearing. Two years ago they favored it, and agreed to urge its acceptance ‘before! the commission. | This change of heart should be inquired into, It cannot be due to apprehension over how this new} through rate is to be divided between the eastern and western carriers. That division, it was agrecd j at the time, would be a matter for arbitration, and} the arbitrator was named as Director Hardie of the Interstate Commission. The division can now be settled in the same manner as was then proposed. * The mystery is enhanced by the fact that, if the St. Louis-Soo pr2posal was accepted, it would mean more tonnage for the Eastern roads to haul and at a rate bound to prove remunerative.

In the first! place Clemenceau had no legitimate place in the, idisguaion whatever, It was under his regime that! much of the debt was incurred and the only explana- | ; tiog-af his intrusion in the discussion is that he is | using it as a smoke screen to cover unwise expend- Situres during his incumbency. ; ‘ Senator Capper of Kansas, former leader of the | farm bloc in the senate, says, “There will be no seal-; jine down of the foreign debt-funding agreements | ‘remaining.

States has declined 24 per cent since 1879, says the depart- ment of agriculture, and in seeking the reason it finds, for one thing, the increasing ability of the American people to have a more varied diet—Amer- icans do not live by bread alone, and they are now eating less bread than they once did. The department's figures show that in 1904 each American used 5.4 bushels of wheat, but that the!" average current consumption has shrunk to 4.3 bushels, The bare figures do not make clear that flour is now . used more efficiently, and that the quality of wheat has ‘been steadily improved, two circumstances to explain the baking of bread | with less flour than “the kind that mother used to make.” As the department puts it, other ingredi-. ents than flour may now form larger, proportions’ in the composition of the commercial wheat lef.
