Here is one gatherec| from the testimony of a Texas Democratic congressnian—Hon, C. B. Hudspeth, be- fore a committee hearing recently relative to the tak- ing over of the wool crop by the government during the war. The wool administration, under authority ef the president commandeered the wool crop, fixed the price, determined the shrinkage due to dirt and grease, shipped the woo] by the’ most expensive method, chewing the transportation to the producers of the wool. Some of the Texas wool’ growers had organized an association which . concentrated: some 5,000,000 pounds or more of Texas woo]. The organizers were experienced ranchmen who were as good judges of woo] as any one in the country. Instead of aecept- ing or even considering the judgment of the men who produced the wool and: who had been producing wool in that section of the country for years, Boston wool buyers were selected to determine the amount of shrinkage to which the woo! should be subjected in determining the price to.be paid. |The accuracy of their judgment is Mlustrated by.onejinstance cited by Congressman Hudspeth. It seems that two brothers were in partnership in-the ownership of a flock of sheep, all of the sheep being herded together in the same pastures and all sheared ‘at the same time, After the shearing: there was a sivision of the wool and the two brothers delivered: their wool ‘separately, The Boston wool buyers fixed a price of 8 cents per pound more on one-half. of the wool)than they did on tho other, evidently not being aware .of the fact that it all came from the same flock of sheep, | As a further evidence to support their ¢ontention that the administration treated them wrongfully in estimating the amount of shrinkage the ‘producers had sozne of its scoured and the shrinkage: was 10: per cent less than what the committee had estimated. In other words, the committee employed by the adminis- tration to estimate the shrinkage of wool were depriv- ing the farmers.of 10 per cent of the price they ought to receive. It was also shown by the testimony that at the time the administration commandeered the wool it prom- ised water freight rate from Texas to New. England, but when the wool was ready for shipment, in order to expedite delivery, the wool was sent by rail, and the compensation of the growers based upon the rail- road freight instead of the ocean shipping rate. The wool producers are now endeavoring. to secure reimbursement on account of the discriminationé prac- ticed against them but are handicapped in their ef- forts by the fact that they are practically bankrupt from their last years’ operations, the price of wool having declined enormously, after they had produced it at war time costs. Many of them ar& even-unable to go to Washington, or send committees to ‘present their claims. ‘ = GOING RIGHT AHEAD, It was only a month or two ago that various “ex- perts” on national defense were regaling the country with stories of how the capital ship of the navy was a thing of the past, and that the naval wars of the future would be contests between submarines end airplanes. According to those gentiemen a britleship tould not live an hour under the combined ittack-of undersea and air vessels, and that it was a waste of money to build any more big ships. It was noticeable that some of the most pronounced opinions to that effect came from England, where a temporary sus- pension of the building program had been ordered, | and the conclusion was drawn by some skeptics on this side of the water that the anti-battleship move- ment was but a clever attempt to discourage the building of big ships by the United States while Great Britain was taking a naval holiday. Fortunately the judgment of Congress was not! swerved by the propaganda against the battleship, and| in the naval appropriation bill provision was made for continuing the 1916 building program with allot the} big ships included therein. With the policy of the| United States thus announced the object of the} Propaganda no longer exists, and even Great Britain! has determined to: build more battleships. There is every reason to believe she would have done the same! regardless of the course of the United States, but she| was quite willing to wait until the anti-battleship movement had had an opportunity to.stifle the Amer- ican naval program. —___>—_—__— REMITTING FOREIGN LOANS. Consent to remit the debts owing to this country by the nations with which we were associated in the) great war, would, as viewed by the Boston Transcript, be a tacit acknowledgment on our part that we did not take our full share in the prosecution of the war, and that we are in duty bound to supplement this fail- ure by post-war action in cancelling the indebtedness of those who bore the brunt of the conflict. This admission our country will never consent to make. Our sympathy with the Allis in their struggle against the Central Powers was shown in most practi- cal forms previous to our entry into the war, and there ten, and it must also be remembered that it was allf that was desired of us by many of the Allied leaders, who for a long time preferred to get the war to a finish without calling for the assistance of American soldiers on the fields of France. N The loans which we have made amount to the en- ormous sum of $10,000,000,000 and are-an import-|- ant part of the assets of this nation. ‘To propose that we should imperil our-own credit “by diminishing our assets to the extent that a remission of. these loans would entail is to threaten our. own financial solvency at a time when we are the only steble-element. in the international market. ~The: financial*panic in _ this country which would inevitably follow rethission would be the most cruel kindness that ‘we ‘could perpetrate upon our former associates in war, 3 Our first duty to ourselves and ta them is to pre- serve without any pogsibility of disturbance the finan-. cia] stability of our.country,;- As-long’as we remain stable, European financial conditions cannot grow worse; they must gradually improve. But if confu- sion-and chaos come to us, thezlast state of Europe will be worse than the first, .If we are to.continue to be of service to our former associates we must first of all keep our treasury in’a position. of unquestioned and unquestionable atability. = We expect and shall demand no payments from our debtors until they are able to make them without em- barrassment, but onthe other hand ‘we must insist that they shall not drive us to the wall.by requests that we shall do what in the end would. eventuate in disaster for themselves in much greater degree than for us. ———_0——_——_. .

There is a vast amount of bunk coming out of Bu- rope at this time and its meaning js plain, The pow- ers that set up to conduct the affairs of the’ world have not made a masterly success of it to date and so they desire to invelve the United States in their bick- erings and rag chewing matches, as they intimate, to get something accomplished. They even suggest that this country assume the role of arbitrator in the sit- uation that has presented itself between Germany and the allies over the question of reparations and the resultant occupation of German territory. Just why the United States should undertake so delicate a mission is not apparent from the viewpoint of her own welfare. - Whatever judgment might be rendered, a host of endmies of America would suddenly spring up. Any decision made would necessarily be a compromise-—a retreat to some extent from the demands for which the allies have steadfastly held. Allied feelings against America would be in proportion to the extent of that abandonment of the principles for which their repre- sentatives have fought. On the other hand the. cam- promise would put upon Germany obligations in ex- cess of the maximum she has indicated her ability to pay. Hence any American decision in the matter would be dennounced by both Germany and the al- lies. It is a particular fire into which we should not be so foolish as to thrust our hand, But why. is it a ‘matter for arbitration at all? There was 9 war,» Ge: was ov pega practically she surrendered tiheonc oe allies are the vict- ors. Th re ‘engaged in the, business of dictating terms of peace to the losers. The-United States has no interest'in those terma-so long as-they do not in- terfere with American rights; infact, so:far as those termg,are concerned, 'the United. States ‘is in the posi- tion of a neutral. It is a new suggestion in’ interna- tional relations that a neutral’ nation: should take any part in the preparation of peace terms resulting from a war that has been fought to a decisi Just for the sake of argument suppose a question exists, properly a matter for arbitration, ‘Where is the league of nations and all the machinery, of *the international court that we were assured months ago had been set up. If there ever was a time for ‘the league and court to assert themselves and prove their right to exist it is now. But then, it is folloy to ex- pect either one of these organizations to take tep of its own volition. They are galvanized into action only when the high board of strategy steps on’ the gas. Apparently it suits the interests of these gen- tlemen first to attempt to entangle the United States in their troubles. “Arbitration” has a very seductive sound, ‘Ordinar- | ily it connotes peace, an avoidance of conflict, and the diffusion of brotherly love among thdse ‘concérn- ed. But the part the United States is asked to play, is not arbitration. It is national suicide. simply involve us in all the European strife which we voted to avoid and from which at present we are free. President Harding said when he assumed the presi- dency: “We seek no part in directing the destinies: of the Old World. We do not mean to be entangled.” Stick to American sentiment of this kind.” Decline the insidious invitation to “arbitrate.” Stand’ Up just as straight on this proposition as did the senate in re- jecting the league of nations.

THE VANISHING VAMPIRE. The day of the vampire is waning. No more will the slithering, snaky lurer of weak, defenseless and susceptible man struct before the moving picture ma- chine, to reveal to the public to what abysmal depths of asininity man will descend when properly and ar- tistically urged. We have Theda’s word for it. Hence- forth, if she portrays the vampire character at all it will be in the role of the virtuous vamp, which will teach the opposite lesson from that which heretofore has distinguished her, She is of the opinion that the public has been taught a valuable lesson by her screen work. She has been enabled to show to down-trodden and badly treated women, who came within the sphere of in- fluence of the movies, that there was at least one of them who never permitted the lords of creation get away with anything. That upon each ‘and every oc- casion she treated the villians as.they. deserved. Upon that account her greatest’ admirers were women. They flocked to ste her pictures, where mén took but lit- tle or no interest in her work. Which by the way is all quite natural and to be expected, for while men are ready t6 admit that there are many foolish ones in the herd, they dislike to be held up to ridicule, as a sex, in Theda’s particular way. There is one thing that Theda must be held account~ able for in the lessons’ which’ she claims: to ‘have taught. She has raised up a crop of amateur vamps in this country that had much better be at home en- gaged in useful domestic duties, where they would likely reach a higher degree of success than they would in following in the footsteps of the alleged wonderful Theda. ’ Let us hope that Theda is as good as her word, and was never any doubt that if and when we cast in our lot, it would only be ‘on the side of Great Britain and France. This moral support should never be forgot- ‘ will permit the vampire character to fade from the screen, employing her talents in some character more cheerful and encouraging to the people who attend moving picture shows Editor.
