SURPRISING RADICALS Often it that when found to be the case radicals in is dally life are forced by circumstances to meet con- | servatives in order that mutual com- promises may he made, the radicals are surprised to find that the con- servatives have some sense after all, and the discover that the bark of the radicals is worse than their bite. Some such discoveries will be made at Genoa. Certainly the circumstances fn Europe have forced Russia, sure Iy radical, and the allies together, the latter realizing the necessity of con- servatism and calmness in dealing with the problems to be faced. Russia's first words were loud. I'rance's were scarcely less distinct, but Irance had the advantage of knowing from re- cent intimate with Fng; Jand in diplomacy, that her foreeful remarks would be discounted. Lioyd George, while far from being a con- servative according to English stan- dards, certainly conservative as compared with the delegates of Rus- sia. Russian radicals will be surprised at the understanding with which their position is seen. It is reported that Russia, while ob- jecting to the report of the allied ex- perts on the matter of the public debt and the judiciary provisions, has al- ready shown surprise and something of good nature following the manner of the reception of its request for more time to consider the report, and in the report itself. The fundamental idea of the experts is the basically correct one that nothing can be done toward the stabilization of Europe un- til the nations find where they stand financially and until the unlimited is- sue of ‘“‘money” is curtailed as a re- sult of the acceptance of the gold standard upon which, thereafter, the issue of money would be based. There is seen in the first idea that comes from the conference the desire to bring about standardization of finances as there was a standardization of naval armaments in the 5-5-3 naval treaty conceived at Washington. There, a general recognition of the ton and its application to the naval forces of the nation——the “ton™ being accepted as a matter of course—made discussion of the laws which should apply to each nation a comparatively simple matter. If gold is recognized as thgyonly basis upon which money might be issued there would come a greater simplicity to the discussion of the financial matters of the nations. The American idea that the huge mams being spent in Europe for main- fenance of armies and navies is at the bottom of the economic trouble in Eugope, pervades the conference, no matter how determinedly the discus- sion of is put down. France will have none of it. Strangely conservatives assoclation is disarmament enough Russia, considered dangerous because maintaining a large army, would have ft discussed and, apparently, military expenses reduced.

But back at home they should be and probably are making a point just now of taking care of the ex-service men belong there, Any great problem of this sort is more easily handled by team work, and such co- operation must come by a division among communities of the labor of finding work for the ex-service men. | Naturally, if ecach community will take care of its own, and the men will give their own localities a chance to aid them, there would be no un- employment among former fighters. There s, however, as every man who has found himself *up against it’” knows, the practical difficulty of getting home if one is far away. Often a man to whom appeal is made for work says to the applicant: “Go get cleaned up and I will put you o work.” This is all very well, but the trouble is the applicant has no place in which to clean up and nothing to clean up with, Often, too, a man can not work because he is hungry. FFew people take this into consideration when they complain that a man to whom they have given the chance to work does not do it well. Thus, to supplement Commander MacNider's advice he should add the admonition to the various posts throughout the country that they should see if they can not help men get back to their home where, as he says, it is quite likely a job will be found for them. Nor should this advice be strued to mean that no man should seek to better himself. Often it is ad- mirable to see a man break away from home ties which handicap him, perhaps, and seek his fortune some- where The advice is meant to apply to the present moment, when the unemployed service men are s0 numerous. When better times come and when these men have earned enough to take care of themselves then will be the time for them to make a change unless by fhat time, as would be quite apt to prove to be the case, they have establish them- selves “at home” so advantageously that the change is not desired. who con- else.
