Tt is well to again call the attention of those who would contribute to the friendly feeling between the United States and Great Britain that they will do their eause no gocd by attempting to belittle the exploits of our revolutionary heroes or seek to minimize that| struggle or the War of 1812 in the public mind, or, even to hold out the vain hope that this country will ever be reunited with Great Britain. The American people are grateful for what Britain did in the world war, and there is every reason why the close associa- tion of that period should develop into mutual under- standings in the future for the good of the two nations and the world. But the realization of that desire is not dependent in any way upon the rewriting of the early American history of the United States or of ex- punging from the record the brilliant stories of Amer-' ican achievement with which that period is replete. Unfortunately there have been and still are certain influences at work in England that seek to make pub- lie opinion in this country receptive to the suggestion that the two nations should eventually constitute a “British-American Union.” The biographer of the late Cecil Rhodes states that the first draft of Rhodes’ ‘will directed the endowment of a secret society hav- ing for its object, among other things, “the ultimate recovery of the United States of America as an in-| tegral part of the British empire.” That original idea} of Rhodes was never carried out, but we have instead the Rhodes Scholarship Fund under which American - young men are given instruction in Oxford uni. =r- sity. It is doubtful if four years of teaching under such influences gives the student any better education than he would have received in our own universities, but the effect of a course under those auspices is not calculated to increase the fervor of his American pa- triotism. The late Andrew Carnegie once uttered the following: “I say that as sure as the sun in the heav- en once shone upon Britons and Americans united, so surely is it one morning to rise, shine upon, and greet again the re-United States, the British-American Union.” Lord Northcliffe does not openly preach the re- umion of the two nations, but he urges the spread of thé British-American gospel to such extent that if his ideas were followed they would inevitably lead to the extinction of American independence. In an “Amer- iean Issue” of the London Times of July 4, 1919, this eminent British editor suggested the following meth- ods for application to our country: “To mobilize the press, the church, the stage and the cinema; press into active service the whole educational systems, and root the spirit of good will in the homes, the universities, public and high schools, and primary schools. It should also provide for subsidizing the best men to write books and articles on special subjects, to be pub- lished in cheap editions or distributed free. New books should be added particularly in the private schools. Histories and textbooks should be revised— the end in view being that the public (in the United States) may subconsciously absorb the fundamentals of a complete mutual understanding.” Powerful influences of that sort have had the desired effect. There is a well-defined mcvement in the United States to introduce textbooks, especially his- tories into our schools that will give the rising gen- eration an entirely new idea of the circumstances sur- rounding the birth of the republic. It is openly as- serted by the authors of some present-day American histories that the stirring incidents of the Revolution which we have been accustomed to read would better: be omitted, and the whole story of that period has Been so changed as to be hardly recognizable. For-| tunately school officials are awaking to the dangers that threaten, and are taking measures to expunge such books from their curriculums. nm.

To maintcin that advant- age, and to increase it, is # task which Republicans have confidence of performing, and which Republican policies applied to the tariff and the merchant marine will assure. The following table shows our trade for 1913-14 and for 1921, by grand divisions, and the 1921 per lcent of 1913-14. The figures are expremed in ai | lions of dollarse (000 omitted): | Exports to 1913-14, 1921. % 1913-14. | Burope —____-$14s65 —$: 2 159 214 South 220 nM AEDES 429 Oceania 191 261 190 35 m7 133 197 208 21 $2,509.0 182 The balauce of trade in 1921 in our favor was a | httle short of $2,000,000,000, while in 1913-14 it was $471,000,000,, which, by the way was $182,000,000/ last year under the Republican protective policy.

No movement for a permanent American merchant marine can succeed unless the people of the nation are behind it. And on the other hand {t will suceeed if| shippers and overseas tourists recognize their pa- triotic duty and patronize American ships. Government officials are already intimating to sub- ordinates that our merchant marine should be given the preference in booking passage and in making ship- ment of goods. This, coupled with the publicity cam- paign put on by the shipping board, ought to bring results. It is well to remember in this connection that the sole reason for the traditional British supremacy in maritime commerce is the fact that the British people have been behind their shipping men and their gov- ernment in their determination to maintain their mer- chant marine second to*none. It is bred in the bone of the Britisher that the safety of the empire depends as much on @ successful commercial flect as it does on an adequate navy. School children are taught the advantages to their country in lending encouragement to British shipping, and are given study courses in foreign commerce that make them familiar with the principal ports of the world, ocean trade routes, and the products and needs of the various countries, Their interest in maritime commerce is thus aroused at an early age, and it remains with them through life. Gov- ernment aid in the shape of loans and subsidies to ship buliders and operators is taken as a matter of course in Great Britain. In the United States there is quite as much atten- tion to problems of national defense as elsewhere, but the minds of the people have not, up to this time, been sufficiently aroused to the importance of a mer- chant marine as a guaranty of safety. The recent treaty for the limitation of naval armaments has brought renewed emphasis to the subject. With the capital ships of big navies held down in tonnage and gun power by arbitrary rules, as they will be for at least ten years to come, that nation will have the pre- ponderant power that has at its command a big mer- chant fleet capable of prompt conversion into aux- iliary cru&ers or transports. Had it not been for the huge British commercial fleet, the German U-boat cam- paign would have brought the speedy surrender of Great Britain. More than half of the American army was transported to the front in British vessels. If they had not been avilable there might have been a different ending to the war. How much more signifi- cant are those facts now that the strength of navies is to be restricted. Then too often in *he past the discussion of our merchant marine has taken on sectional aspects. Citi- zens of the middle western states have been inclined to look upon shipping as an industry of those states in proximity to either coast, ‘but of no special inter- est to them. The observation has frequently been made that if foreign ships can do our ocean carrying cheaper than our own it is better to give the business to them. Of course such a viewpoint takes no note of the commercial independence and national security that a merchant marine under our own flag gives. Those factors are of as much concern to one section of the United States as to another. Their proper ap- preciation by the people generally is all that is needed to insure our future upon the seas, << TIMELY WARNING. “Whether hell is a real place or not,” remarks the Philadelphia Ledger, “continues to be debated among theologians, but a prominent Baptist pastor of Balti- more is suro that the devil still lives, in a pleasing shape adapted to his twentieth- -century clientele, “This up-to-date devil has discarded the Mephisto apparatus of horns and cloven hoofs, forked tail and Turkey-red apparel. He is debonair in a dress ‘suit; he is the glass of fashion; he is an adept in parlor| tric! He is scholar as ‘well as gentleman, and his flawless courtesy and finished eloquence misguide im- nae minds away from religious tenets and pristine piety. “Tt is not strange that. the devil should hare changed his make-up. Any other villain whose tig has become too familiar to the traveling public does the same thing. He should have done it long ago. But he is still in time for the Lenten season. Look out for him. Don’t let him turn you into an infidel or a vol- | uptuary just because of his change of front.

It is an old saying that the public knows much more about how a news- paper should be run than the editor of the paper does; and just here we might amplify this adage—the public imows more about how the money should be raised to pay off the sol- diers’ bonus than the congress does. Now, if the editor and his many read. ers will pardon me for being one of this group of “know-alls” I will re- late what the average laborer, includ- ing manual and commercial lines, think about thts perplexing question. We have read Mr. Heflin’s solution of the proposition and think it con- tas more merit than any other we have read. Our way of looking at this solution, {. ¢,, of paying off the bonds that might be floated to pay off the bonus debt is to use accrued interest on the money due the United States from foreign governments. Now England, France and all the other countries indebted to us will, of course, set aside a sinking fund with which, in the course of many years, liquidate the principle of these bonds, and while they are doing this they will have paid to this government ™many millions of dollars. Wo seo no reason why this interest return can- not be applied to paying off 4 per cent bonds issued by our government for settling the soldier bonus ques tion. Wo are at a loss to see how this could seriously affect any of the lines of business of the American peo- have been turn to the United States from the foreign debtor nations could be used in any other manner that congress might decide, but to Hflustrate: If I for any length of time and Smith re- and myself are affected.

So, we think the method advocated by many of our congressmen and hundreds of others throtighout the county—that of pay- ing off the soldiers’ bonus with the interest of our foreign debtors is the most feasible and least hurtful way advocated. Now the sales tax idea as advocated by certain congressmen fs, in our opinion, the most hurtful of all the vlans suggested, for fully 90 per cent of our population are laboring peo- ple; and, as this class of our citizen- ship would buy 75 per cent of the goods upon which this tax was im- posed, it would be saddling the tax on that class of our people least able to pay it.

The Excess Gold Within ten years we have more than doubled our stock of gold, and yet the times are not so good as would have been expected from such an excess of domestic banking capac- ity. The reason is that gold has been degraded from its naturel and best use as a means of settling normal balances between nations trading to- gether. Before the war mere scores of millions would settle accounts to- taling billions on both sides. the world’s debts to us alone run into billions, and gold is called upon for use in payments of debts to a total exceeding the total gold in existence. Under such conditions a gold dollar or pound counts for a dollar or a pound, and not as a basis of accept- able banking credit of several times its monetary value, i Experience has taught the most) stubborn economic illiterates that ex- cessive balances of trade are undesir- able.
