Their Selfishness and Greed Recently it was testified to in an English court by Captain Harold Spencer, former mem- ber of the British admiralty, that, in answer to his criticism of Winston Spencer Churchill for joining in an inaccurate report of the Battle of Jutland, the latter said: “What do you care? We did it to get the money out of the Yanks.” If there is anything that is to be admired it is candor. True, Mr. Churchill did not display candor in his false and misleading report of the battle, if it was false and misleading, as claimed, but he was at least candid in explaining his rea- sons therefore. It would be a good thing if other European statesmen would be candid to the ex tent of explaining their reason for wishing the United States to do certain things. For instance, it would be illuminating if they would explain why they were so anxious to have us join the League of Nations. It would be quite as much so if they would confess their reasons for wishing us to unite in maintaining the World Court. The reason, at least the main one, in each case is the same, and it is the same reason which was avowed by Winston Churchill—“to get the money out of the Yanks.” The “Yanks” come in handy once in a while. They camo in handy when they advanced some eleven or twelve billion dollars to the Allies dur: ing the war. They came in handy when they de- clared war against Germany and aligned them- selves with the Allies. They came in handy when their soldiers turned the scale and gave victory to the Allies and doomed the Germans to defeat. The “Yanks” do not claim that they won the war, but without them the war would not have been won by the Allies. There is nothing which ever happened on this earth more certain than that fact. Yes, the “Yanks” have been rather useful to the British and to the other Allies, in the way of money, supplies and soldiers, and we are glad that we supplied them all at the time of Europe's seoon | ate greatest need. We have no rancor against the; Allies, but, at the same time, we cannot help no- ticing their selfishness and greed as they are sometimes displayed. We also believe that they are “grateful” to the United States, always keep- ing in mind that most accurate definition: “Gratitude is a lively sense of favors to come.” We might overlook the statement attributed to Mr. Churchill but for the fact that it explains the attitude of so many English statesmen and financiers, as well as those of continental Eur- ope. They are still using every possible means of securing the entry of the United States into the League of Nations one of the chief means now being used is to urge our support of the World Court. They are not like so many Ameri- cans who favor the World Court, in that they do not claim, like the latter, that our adhesion to the court would not be a step toward our entering the League of Nations. In fact they openly say that the one step would inevitably lead to the other. Back of all their enxiety in these matters is the one all-important reason voiced by Mr. Churchill—they want “to get the money out of) —__—$—$— $$$ — — Register complaints | ‘i ‘ularly distressing at the present time, with the jcome a leader in the direction of religious and !ance today in Ireland than there is in the all When one considers that the Gospel of Good The Ancient Scandal Our 31¢ friend Free Seeds ts with Will to Men is at the base of all the “warring | us again.

We, in America, have thought that, under the constitution, we oretically we did so, but practically there are amny intolerant groups in the country today. Doubtless, it is the same with a church. The constitution of every church is the doctrine of Good Will to Men. But there are many in every church by whom intolerance is still looked upon as a virtue. ° Would it not be a strange turn and twist of history, should the Irish Free State tend to be political tolerance? Yet stranger paradoxes seedmen. At each session of congress for many years an image-breaking member or a group of congressional iconoclasts, intent on making a gesture of economy, have introduced and supported measures which would do away with free seeds. Successively such measures have been voted down. But last year the anti-free seeds advocates won. At the opening of this present congress Representative Langley of | Kentucky introduced his bill on which a tie vote was taken by the committee on agriculture last year to make the free-seed appropriation permanent law. The custom is not an evil one. Perhaps if the good it have been noted. Intolerance had gone so far in Ireland that it could not go further without ac- tual civil and guerilla warfare.

An error, carried to its limit, often tends | gown—Wwashington Star. ——>—_—_ to break under its own weight and so to allow the revivifying and refreshing reverse of itself, the truth of things, again to function. Every well-wisher of the new Irish Free State hopes that the present happy situation is there to con- tinue and to become a sadly needed example to the rest of the world. The situation in the United States is partic- heated wrangles now being carried on among high churchmen, and the attitude of antagonism of the several denominations one toward an- other. The people of the United States, and espe- cially the church people, without respect to de- nomination or creed, may, with profit learn a lesson from the people of Ireland on this most {important of all true Christian virtues, toler- | ance. It is time for us here in the United States, to inspect our cornerstones,.upon which we have} builded our civil, political and religious liberties and find if they are crumbling. Poetic Justice It may be recalled by observers of public mat- ters that manufacturers of shoes made a stren- uous fight to have cattle hides placed on the free list in the tariff acts of 1909 and 1922. In the act of 1909 they succeeded in having hides placed on the free list and boots and shoes on the dutiable list. In the act of 1922 not only hides but shoes wholly or in chief value of leather were placed on the free list. It was urged that the price of shoes to the consumer would be low- ered considerably if hides were duty free. That claim, however, was soon proven false. Under the tariff of 1909 the prices of shoes were advanced instead of being lowered as was promised. And now the manufacturers of shoes are making a plea for tariff protection. Brazil and Switzer- land threaten to flood our markets with lower cost shoes and manufacturers are alarmed. It is true the wearers of shoes will not be benefited by these lower prices, because the difference in costs will be absorbed by the importers and deal- ers in the way of increased profits. But the American manufacturers will lose a large part of their business and some of their workmen will be discharged because we will be hiring Bra- zilians and Swiss to make our shoes for us in- stead of patronizing home industry. Nor are shoes alone affected. Large quantities of cheap leather are being imported from Eng- land, France and Germany, and the American tanners who joined with the shoemakers in de- manding free hides, are suffering from this com- petition. The sole explanation in both cases, shoes and Jeather, is lower foreign costs of pro- duction. Of course, we do not like to see American in- dustry lose out in competition with foreign in- dustry, but in these two cases it will be simply “poetic justice” if they do lose. It will be, in each case, an illustration of the biter bitten. The Scouts and Christmas If the Boy Scouts of the Great American re- public were not made of pretty stern stuff they would be in danger from the praise that has been bestowed upon them from all parts of the coun- try. The organization deserves praise the year round for the many unselfish things they do for the good of the community in which they live. It is fine to know that they are active all over the land. Engaged in efforts neglected by their elders and teaching every day valuable lessions, in humanity, in unselfish service, in courtesy, and what their creed calls “good turns.” As an example of the high regard in which the public has come to measure the Boy Scouts the does could be weighed against its cost {t would be found to be an excellent custom. At any rate the matter is coming again before con- gress.

A Christmas Commentary Not the least unfortunate aspect of the controversies now raging in fact that they make a sorry con- tribution to the observance of the Christmas season, whcn all of Christendom should be making an effort to spread the uncontroverted doctrine of good will toward all men. Good will is lacking when leaders and laymen so far forget the true aim of Christianity as to turn from it to engage in contro- versies that lead to bitterness. The present issues are as old as Christianity Itself. But the need for tolerance {s much older. For two thousand years it has been the chief function of the Christian re ligion to foster tolerance, which 1s the basis of good will.
