There is no one in Casper, acquainted with Postmaster Sproul and Assistant Postmaster Park- er, but regrets that they have become enmeshed in government red tape. The assigned cause of their suspension is an apparent shortage in . the funds of the office. The inclination of everybody is to withhold judgment, retain faith in the integ- rity of these gentlemen and remain their friends. The hope is that the difficulty confronting the postmaster and his assistant is at worst a balled-up condition of accounts, due wholly to the inability of the officials to handle the volume of business that has increased from day to day and week to week until it is enormous. Coupled with this sit- uation is the fact that competent and efficient help has been an impossibility at the salaries allowed hy the government. It is well known that the policy of the post of- fice department under Postmaster General Burle- son, has been to create a profit and in his ambition to do this he has practically destroyed the serv- ice to the people. The condition at Casper, which may be said to be woeful, is the like situation the country over. The great post office department, previous to the Burleson administration, a model in efficiency, accuracy and promptness and relia- bility in delivery of mails, has become a joke. The delivery of mail js one of the’ most im- portant services the government has undertaken. It is one in which the entire people are vitally in-, terested, it is less important thathe. service: pays a profit than it is that the people’ have prompt and reliable delivery of their mail. With a force everywherd unequal to-the task and for a great part unqualified to perform the duties, it is a wonder that the department functions at all. That is does is due solely to the old faithful and loyal employes who have known the service in better days and strive to maintain it in some- thing of its former glory. ‘ It is to be hoped that Postmaster Sproul and Assistant Parker will come through the present or- deal completely exonerated from blame. And whatever their official shortcomings may prove to be, most people will believe are due in large measure to the absolutely hopeless, helpless and niggardly administration of Mr. Burleson. Tt may and may not be interesting to know that there are 22,000,000 widows in India, one- third of whom are under 15 years of age. i NO OLIGARCHY. If we knew the exact location and depth of the snow-drift that buried James Cox and Frank- lin Roosevelt on November 2, we should like to dig them out and whisper in their long, furry ears this message of cheer: “The senate oligarchy was a myth, it never existed and does not exist now.” Then if their numbed senses could grasp the meaning we should like to hand each of the late Demoeratic candidates, these words of statesmanly wisdom uttered by Senator Harding on the floor of the senate chamber on the occasion of his appear- ance there a few days ago: When my responsibilities begin in the exe- ' cutive éapacity I shall be as mindful of the senate’s responsibilities as I have been jealous of them as a member, but I mean at the same time to be just as insistent about the responsi- hilities of the executive. Our governmental good fortune does not lie in any surrender at either end of the avenue, but in the co-ordina- tion and co-operation which becomes the two in a great and truly representative popular gevernment. \ I like the freedom, the association, the patriotic sense of responsibility which abides here. Iam conscious of the great place which congress holds under our constitution, and particularly sensible to the obligations of the senate. ‘I desire this body to become a-coileague to have its full confidence and co-operation in the four years which begin next March 4. I am sure that the necessity of wise solu- tion wil] inspire us to work together, to take common counsel, to be tolerant.of one another advanced to other nations. stance repudiation of Britain’s share of allied in- debtedness to the United States. Regardless of the contributions of America to- ward winning the war, debtor nations are morally bound to live up to their obligations. Previous to the time’the Germans acknowledged their defeat and asked for pace, our assistance could be regard- ed as enormous. Since that time our contributions ly understood, both in this country and abroad. From a statement on the subject of American ad- vances to Europe subsequent to the armistice the following is presented: Advances to allies and accrued in- tebest tei oe Ge Fee Foreign foans floated including government, state and munici- pal issues and loans to private corporations --. 700,000,000 Advances for relief, supplies by Red Cross, credit sales of army supplies __-____.___ 700,000,000 Unfunded commeycial credits by American interests to Euro- pean interests 1-22. 3,350,000,000 ie 53 Pokal ys fone a legate $7,750,000,000 of loans to allied governments, and about $1,000.- ‘909,000 of accrued interest di ‘their ‘total. The ‘seSond item.includes. Norwegian, Dutch.and French bonds ‘floated in this ‘country’ ‘since the’ armistice. The third: item ‘includes $400,000,000 worth of army sunnlies turned over to the French govern- ‘ment. The fourth item is an estimate of the amounts owed by private interests abroad to pri- yate interests here for merchandise and other pur- chases—an item that is constantly increasing. This computation of allied indebtedness is in the United States treasury., Thése loans of $10,- 000,000,000, less the $2,000,000,000 included in the first item of the above table, plus the total as above, make an aggregate allied public and pri- ple of close to $16,000,000,000. It would not be an unfair statement to say that European. reconstruction would not have reached and economic affairs resulted through inability to secure external aid, had not America extended the liberal credits here mentioned. If these international financial matters not widely advertised, they are not secret matters, and they should in justice to the United States be known throughout the world. ; An understanding of them would go far to dispel the erroneous idea in certain quarters that we failed to bear our full part in the war.
