The Democrats of the senate find themselves in an anomalots position in their opposition to the foreign debt refunding bill reported by the Republican finance committee, It was their party which made the loans, and that party is responsible for the condition they are now in. The Democrats stopped at nothing in their eagerness to permit Europe to spend the re- sources of the United States. The Democratic presi- dent went to the extreme length of offering the wealth inail accepted for iess period than| MR al lr RSPR * SHA A PERN il or * 0 Cbe Casper Daily Cribune pre | native of either yielding the election without a contest Manager| amount as might giv. them some hope of winning. 99/ issue.

Now the Democrats seek to amend the refunding! bill so as to prevent the refunding commission from making such liberal terms with the debtor nation as the/| financial and economic status inthe various countries} may necessitate. They would have the commission de-| mand what may very well turn out to be the impos- sible, thereby not only denying reasonable ‘considera- tion to the countries that owe us money, but greatly decreasing the chances of ultimate collections of the debts. The Republicans of the finance committee re- fused to include in the bill provisions for semi-annual| payment of interest and for an interest rate of 5 per cent. There is no just reason why the foreign debt- ors should pay any higher rate of interest than that! paid by our own Liberty bonds, through the sale of! which the money was raised to make the foreign loans. Neither is it wise to write intc the law an arbitrary demand for the payment of interest six months after the refunding has been arranged, and semi-annually} thereafter. Such an arrangement may be quite pos-) sible with some of the debtor nations, but further ex- tensions will probably have to be granted to others. Foreign nations ought to be convinced by this time that their real friends in the country are to be found fn the Republican party. The aid extended by the Re- publicans to world reconstruction does not include any surrenders of American sovereignty, which, even if it were granted in accordance with the desires of Wil- sonism, could accomplish no permanent relief. Re- publican assistance has been through reduction of military burdens in the discussions of the Washington conference, the removal of causes that threatened the peace of the world, and the grant of supplies to the starving Russians, Further practical help will be ex- tended by Secretary of the Treasury Mellon and the other members of the debt refunding commission in reaching adjustments that will grant the most lenient terms to Europe while relinguishing none of our claims. Chairman McCumber of the finance committee ex- presses the views of his fellow Republicans when he says: “The necessity for the exercise of clemency in principal and past due interest becomes apparent the moment we survey the financial condition of the coun- tries to which we made our war advances.” Under Mr. Wilson, the altruism of the Democrats extended to absurd lengths in their attempts to guar- antee the integrity of Europe through the use of American soldiers and money. Now all that is appar-| ently forgotten in the necessities of partisan politics,) and they are going to the other extreme of denying! to Europe fair treatment in the matter of the debt,| merely because the Republicans advocate a liberal pol- fey of handling the iueign obigations. Se PATRIOTISM AND PACIFICISM. ‘The Ford-Newberry senatorial contest has now gone Into history. There is not much danger that the people the case, the amnus back of Mr. Ford’s contest and| the influences at work and the objects sought in the sttempt to defeat and humiliate Mr. Newberry. Demo- cratic politicians may forget, but the people have long- er memories than they are credited with possessing. There will be no overlooking the fact that Henry Ford was the rankest kind of a pacifist. He was for| peace at any price. He was one of those who con- tributed heavily to the 1916 presidential campaign by, means of which Woodrow Wilson was re-elected to the Mr. Ford was one of those internationalists who would cal] upon the United States to make the Two of his sons and a son-in-law were also in service cf their country.

No corruption is either charged or intimated. The real question was, therefore, whether, when a man of Mr. Ford’s wide acquaintanceship and commercial con- nections becomes a candidate for office, those who do not believe him {it for tne position must quietly accede to his demands because they were afraid to expend the funds necessary in a publisity campaign to give the voters of the state full information regarding tho of a large cum of money by Republican leaders Mr. Ford would have stabbed tha senatorship without a contest. The peo- ple of ths. ‘Jnited States have good sense enough to perceive that the success of Mr, Ford would have been @ perversion of popular government, c« enta- tior of the state of Michigan and a humiliation to the country as a whole. ., ope cemmanpeaneain THE 1922 CONTEST. Interest in this year’s congressional campaign is be- ginning to awaken. The people expected much from results have not been satisfying. It is still possible before another campaign opens in which the members go before their constituents for approval or rejection, to so improve the record as to warrant a continued confidence in a great number of the members. Those in control nave a great responsibility and they are the ones who will be held largely accountable by the Re- publican party for success or failure in the Novem- ber elections. On this matter the Washington Star says: “Tf the Republicans are uneasy at all, the feeling relates (o the next house. Although with an enor- | mous majority in the present house, they have been | stumbling along there in a surprising way, and bring- | criticism. | “If the Democrats are confident at all, the feeling | relates to the next house. ventage in the present house, they are noting with | much satisfaction the plight of the majority there, and hoping it may continue. “The next senate looks safe for the Republicans, although such a sweeping change of sentiment ar would give the house to the Democrata might throw the senate in for good measure. “A result that brought in a Democratic house, leav- ing the Republicans in control of the senate and the White House, would produce a deadlock the effect of which on the campaign of 1924 could not easily be calculated. There is urgent need now of legislation and will be at the first session of the next congress. But if one house of that body faces in one direction and the other house in the opposite direction, with both parties playing for advantage in the presidential election then opening, the chances of legislation of a “Tt is going to be a year of years—1922, Both par- ties are already busy with their plans, and neither will lack the necessary means for making a thorough can- yvass of the country. Campaigning comes high now- days, but partisanship runs, hig, and the ppople are willing to pay the price.” 0 ALCOHOL AS A MEDICINE. “An attempt has been made by the journal of the American Medical association,” says the New York Times, “to find out what value the doctors of this country place on alcohol in the treatment of diseases. Professional opinion is divided; the answers to the questionnaire sent to over 13,000 physicians in 19 states have revealed a majority of only 178 declaring tice of medicine. The verdict against beer was very much larger—over 7,000. “The figures collected are divided according to states. More would have been told, probably, if the division had been according to the age of those an- swering the questions. The history of medicine is full of instances of the refusal of elderly doctors to ac- cept new ideas and to reject old ones, and they have persecuted medical heretics with almost theological ferocity. Scandals of this sort have abounded in every age since the authority of Galen began to be ques- tioned. “If it were disclosed that it is the old doctors who cling to alcohol as a drug, and the younger ones who can and do get along without its use, that fect would be far more significant than are the majorities pre- sented by The Journal—majorities, by the way, that were almost inevitable after the action on the sub- ject taken some years ago at a convention of the ns- sociation. “There, too, the verdict was adverse to alcohol, and all efforts at subsequent conventions to have it re- versed have failed.” THREAT TO AMERICAN INDUSTRY. A member of the British parliament, C. J. Hannon, uddressing the National Union of Manufacturers at Birmingham presented a set of figures showing in terms of gold che value of hours of labor in the sey- eral principal manufacturing countries of the world. The table as presented by Mr. Hannon shows the threat to American labor and the necessity of a protective turiff, at the earliest hour congress can place it in effect. Mr. Hannon shows that one ounce of gold pur- chases: In Hours of labor. United States ~~ 17.22 Great Britain - 60.16 Japan - 95.50 France — 117.31 Germany - - 201.66 In terms of wage cost, these figures show, Amer- ican labor would have to be more than 11 times as ef- ficient as German labor in order to equalize condi- Versailles. ‘The reference to some of his ideas is sufficient to! demonstrate that he was out of touch with public sen- Nevertheless, because of his| tions.

And to another question: Vhat is it, your business." And an other question: ‘Why didn’t you say so at first.” Hundreds of other ques- tions were answered in one way or another.
