The discussion over M. Tardieu, member ing American and bring out very clearly America reaped wealth out of the built on fallacy. M. Tardien made the charge, but the refu- tation is so overwhelming that it must soon be appre- clated everywhere that the United States lost through the war, though, of course, not so severely as did the European combatants The with the reasoning of many pean critics of America is that they seem that in the rush of trade incident to the war was the sum of possible the United States| got that. In figure, upparently, that there ws United States ate the countries, when they dropped well her own sha They war the would have would have carried been sustained and gales would have this country was gorged The sales were immense But when the conflict payments were received was all the book recently of the French French relations, that the written Cabinet, has regard- served to contention that war is trouble Euro- to assume trade profits, and they and other just the words, one pie the share it of Juropean to e in warfare, as as seem to forget that would h for it have all speed there had continued. The foreign that could have for this country’s good money. As it was with trade for few years. the paper profi ended it was discove slow and much of the consideration but valueless. But the worst of it was that our customers broke and could not only not make their paper good but had little legal tender to exchange for further trade. The National Bank writing in the Commerce truly says that “the great asset in building up a prosperous American foreign business will be the growth of wealth everywhere.,” No country can get wealthy on foreign trade unless the foreign coun- tries are sufficiently prosperous to pay in good money for what they purchage. In fact, there must be profits at both ends of the trade to make it of last- ing benefit. The foreign writers prosperity the fact that, Reserve Banking System, the United States was able to make the gains of half century available for credit purposes, and thereby absorb the shock of war. This country had so much in reserve at the begin- ning of the war that she was able to carry the de- preciated paper that she received, to charge off com- pletely the wastage of much of the receipts from the war saturnalia, and to lend money to foreign coun- " tries. How much we shall lose on account of the r will not be known until we shall discover how of the debts contracted by Europe for goods by this country must be charged off as un- ectable.

A nation which responded generously to the first appeal for funds for relief work in tHé Mississippi Valley will not shirk the new responsibility which| the President asks it to accept. Mr. Coolidge ]Imnlnl out that, as fresh breaks in the levees inundate new| country daily the number of sufferers has been doubied since the first appeal for funds and it is| necessary, therefore, to double the $5,000,000 desired There has never been a Mississippi flood |like this one. It is a time for prompt and generous response to a pitiable appeal. It time, too, for prompt action by the one organization which can really deal adequately with the problem: the Congress of the United States. In these great flooded regions we have a situation com- parable with the devastated areas behind the battle| lines of war. Private charity can alleviate misery.| But private charity cannot cope with the preblem of reconstructing a whole countryside laid waste, Private charity cannot rehabilitate the thousands of employed who will find themselves as utterly with-| out means of earning a livelihood as if a series n{’ invading armies had destroyed thelr homes, Now is the time to call a special session: now, when the misery of these sufferers is plain in tne Nation's eye! now, when it is not too late to plan | rehabilitation wisely and with foresight; flow, when aid given promptly is ald given twice. The Flood. (Mining and Engineering Journal.) | The flood—not that of Noah's time but of our time perhaps not so overwhelming, but equally; disastrous to the flooded areas. On page 762 there is published an article just released by the Govern- ment which points out that flood warnings were is- sued by Federal agencies well in advance of the present catastrophe. In fact, it is stated that the! Department of Agriculture issued flood warnings con- stantly from October on through the winter in var- jous localities, based on observations of rainfall and river stages, as one river system after another became’ affected by the long-continued rains. The present | great Mississippi flood was not unheralded—there is {not the least doubt of that. Many have taken advan- ’lu):(‘ of the warnings, others have not; certainly j"‘"'U municipalities have not, and perhaps the Fed- eral Government may be placed to a certain extent in the same category. Millions of dollars gre now| being raised to aid the sufferers in the inundated | distric millions also will be spent in engineering | measures to control the physical features of the situation. Mining, along with other ' industries in the areas involved, is sustaining heavy losses due to enforced curtallment of operations and property dam- age. What portion of these losses in humafi life property, and national wealth would have been saved if proper and adequate precautionary tneasures had been taken to cope with the flood conditions?

His prosecution is for phying a little negro boy called “Snowball” $100 per week for playing a banjo in his orchestra. Agents of the Children’s Society dis-| covered the child while sleuthing around the musical( comedies. “Snowball” wept in Court when the news was broken to him that he had to give up his $100 a week and his happy life and go back to his home in St. Louis. An odd element “Snowball's” father his occupation. “I'm the guardian of my son,” the father replied, no more pleased than his son to see the family liv- ing cut off by the interfering agents of the Chil- dren's Society who succeeded in cutting off the child’s stage career and sending him back to the alleys and the garbage cans from which the little chap had emerged. Some reformer-for-profit will be able to tell at the next annual meeting of the Children's Society of the way he saved this little chap for society. is (. is Paul He has that asked in was the prosecution was in Court.
