There is a promise ‘to the people arisifig out of the campaign that cannot be ig- nored. Abolition of some features and relief from burdens in others is what is expécted. How it is all to be accomplished and still secure sufficient revenue to maintain the government is the hardest nut any American congress has yet had to crack. The sources of revenue are not producing the public requirements as it is because of the present state of business and with something like six billions running expenses to meét we may well view the situation with serious- ness. Then when it is known that to successfully carry out the fiscal policy necessitates financing in the total of seventeen billions of dollars within the next two years. Where is the money all coming ftom? A change in tariff system froni a free trade basis to a protective basis with higher rates will of course aid but only in millions where billions are required. Talk, then is in endless amount. Specific plans of action there is’nore. Puss it all ‘om\to.the people in tax burdens the new with the old is in effect all that has been suggested. The form may be modified but in the end the people pay, while the people are cry- ing for relief. It will be dangerous to drive them further and the fact should be tecognized. Political tutfiovers are the easiest thing the people accomplish when aroused. The proof is of too re+ Stew occurrence to require mention. The people ex- pected relief, were promised relief and they voted for rélief. They must have it. Faith must not be broken. An elimination of indebtedness rémoves the necés- sity of heavy taxation to pay interest’ atid principal. And the first place to strike is the’ depreciated war bond issues. Upon the twenty billion‘ issued by the time the people have redeemed them they will have paid a total of fifty billions. Would it: be better to sweat out that inconceivable sum of money by labor or would it be good sense to square it off now by disposing of a shure of the pub- lie resources of coal, oil, land, water power, minerals and other valuables that will do more public good in private hands than lying dormant in public owner- ship? eRe Eanen anToes Coleen You can never tell where the next school scandal is going to break out. The Denver affair would not have occurred if fathers and mothers showed proper patental interest and exercised befitting control over their children out of school hours and co-operated with teachers to sufficient extent to know what was going forward during school sessions. If you Rave no interest in your own boys and girls don’t expect anybody else to have more concern than you show. pESVAT PEG FATS ROI A very noted educator, having served as superin- tendent of public schools at Boston and Cincinnati, says the trouble with public schools is the fact that teachers are “trying to make the children fit a stand- ardized suit of clothes, called curriculum, which can- not be done successfully.” Is the gentleman right, we wonder? SUEY Weahonss 49. N28 INTERNATIONAL AMENITIES. There are some very entertaining contributions to the gaiety of nations these days on the part of inter- national correspondents. One would assume that we had actually entered upon an era of open diplom- acy, openly arrived at, so familiarly are the hopes and fears of nations treated. We know better, how- ever, and when strifes and misunderstandings are an- nounced between France and Britain, to at least sea- son the statements with salt before accepting them. We are informed of an Anglo-French rupture threatening European reconstruction, serious we are assured, so serious, that the premiers of the respect- ive powers have gone before their parliamentary bodies to explain that the recent harmony gathering in London to discuss final touches to reparations was no harmony convention at all. It was right spirited at the close and more so after adjournment when reckoning was taken of results and the discovery made that Britain had annexed about all of the eco- nomic advantages to be derived through the confer- ence and left the illusions of military glory to France. If these boys do not know each other well enough by this time they have no business engaging in the game of diplomatic poker. It is the poorest sports- manship in the world to squack about the matter when you get the worst of it. Look what we got when friend Wilson crossed over to sit in the game. Are we beefing about the trimming he received? Weill say not. We simply decline to sit in again. The game is crooked and we don't play it that way. The con- sistent declinations we have returned to the numer- ous pressing invitations extended ought to be suf- ficient hint of what we think of European poker parties.

In so far as the agreement was put through in the guilelessness of good faith both have been taken in over their heads; but if the two parties to the agreement fully understood——as we suppose they must have understood—that the things they have covenanted to do are impossible, then néither was taken in. If that was the case, Sir Robert Horne and Mr. Krassine, of course, exchanged appropriate winks across the table. “The conditions solemnly agreed to in. thie treaty are impossible of fulfillment because the indusiries of Russia having beén destroyed under the soviet rule she has fo comméddities to exchange with the British merchants and must pay with gold for the goods she imports. It is known to all the world that Russia has very little gold except stolen gold or gold already pledged. Moreover, debts are owing to British mer- chants which they could not collect from Russia, and the representative of the soviets was unable to per- suade the British’ government that gold arriving in payment for goods to be shipped in the fiiure siie='4 be regarded as immune from seizure to pay these earlier claims. Mr. Krassine had to consent that if the gold coming from his country were seized the mat- ter would have to be left to thé decision of the Brit- ish courts, which have already adjudicated such claims in favor of British creditors.” PN EEO SEA as My, but the dames in the quiet and cultured Capi- tol Hill section of the nation’s capital are touchy.
