The secretary points with goad purpose to the aid that has been ex- tendeq even since the fighting stopped mnd in the proper spirit he sets forth that Europe must realize the neces- @ity of ending its borrowing and get- ting down to work. We have loaned heavily. It will be some time before we even realize the interest on the loans we have made, and it cannot fail to be appreciated that if we are found inclined to pour more of our money into Furope we will be asked to do so without limit, regardiess ‘of the outlogk or outcome, There is a bit of good advice in the paragraph where the secretary says. “1f the people and governments of Rurope live within their inecomes, in- erease their production as much as pessible and limit their imports te mieual necessities, foreign credits to eover adverse balances most prohably would be supplied by private investr ors and the demand to resort to such impracticablie metheds as gevernment leans and bank credits would cease.” There can he little question but what he is likdwise right in the as- sumption that the American people would not respond to the demands tha: they finanee the requirements - Purope. The vecple of this country are still under heavy taxation and they look for a decided lowering of that rather than an in- crease for the purpose of gending meore money to Europe, except for huy- manitarian purposes. A CHANCE FOR THE LEAGUE. The idea of having the league of nations decide the situation in South America where Bolivia is desitous of an outlet to the sea and where Chile and Peru have for years been at swords’' peints over boundaries is by no means new. It was desired that it should be taken up by the peace con- ference during the early days of its session, and it has from time to time been timated that this country would be calieg in to hear the matter and endeavor to settle the trouble. This country has shown its willing- ness to act the part of a peace- maker but there has never bheen an agreement on' the part of the interest- ed countries to bring about such a soiution. — Xo one will envy the league in be- ing asked to settle the dispute. There is no question but what it ought to be adjusted. It is unforfunate that Bolivia which once had a seaport is now deprived of an outlet tp the ocean anqd is ‘herefore dependent up- on others for b.siness with the rest of the world, and it is equally plain that Peru and Chile should come to a set- tlement regarding their own boundry lines in such a way as to give cop- sideration to the position in which Belivia has been put and at the same time lay the foundation for better re- lations along the west coast of*South America in the years to come. It will of course depend upon the attitude that is taken by the respec- tive South American countries as to What the omntcome, of the dispute will be. They have shown little inclination to compromise the situation and yet if that is not done it is quite evidemt that no matter what the lgague of na- tions may sy should be done there will be the same ill feeling following any adjustment it may make as there is now. If, however, they are willing to put the cards on the table and let | the league decide in aceord with the facts, or on the grounds of proper treatment for all the league will haye & chance to render a real service. THE VIRGIN ISLANDS. It may prove a delightful outing on which they have embarked but cannot help béing felt that it is no easy job that is assigned to the con- gressiona] committée that has sailed ".n the Virgin islands. It will haye little trouble in finding out about the conditions existing in the islands, the inclinatiens of the people ang the possibilities for the future, but i real struggle will come in determin- Ing just what measures are the most advisable for meeting the situation. We acquired the isiands for stra- tegic reasons and as was te be ex- pected there was and still continu 10 be 2 strong attachment to Panish waye. There has been no disposition ts give up old habits just because the ownership of the islands changed, and there are evidences that much the same difficulties are being experi- enced in those islands that has taken place in others in that part of the werld. It is not to be expecteq that condi- tions will be found tight there for self government, however much that may be deésired. The spirit of unrest bas gained quite a following there but it is not anticipated that a radical change in the present administration of affairg there will be advecated. With an admiral of the navy directing affaivs it is probable that the situa- tion there is being well handled] but “that is for the commitiee to find out. they burden of | it| lidd. o o, e e 0 5 go important developments. Thé pop- ulation is not especially given to in- creasing activities or g new undertakings, but with American eon- ital and metheds put into operation there a néw day should dawn for those possessions, and there can be little question but what Ameticaniza- tion efforts would have good results there. — e STREET COASTING. Many are the reports that ceme at this time of the yéar regarding the déaths, injuries or narrow s of those whe witile sliding beeome in- volved with electric cams, aytos of other vehicles. Such a condition is bound to exist where ceasting is per- mitted at dangerous points without restriction especially when the street on which' the sliding is dome inter- sects another baving a carline and much trafic. Fer the cars or drivers of vehicles to' get or keep out of the way of coasters, or for those guiding the sleds or rippers to prevent collis- iens where there is little or no chance for warning is perfeetly apparent. In view of the conditions attending the sliding at dangerous points, ap- proval cannot fail to be given to the plan that h been in many cities of restricting the sliding to hills where there are no cross streets or where travel on them is extremely light and diverting vehieular trafiic to other streets during coasting hours. That keeps the children off of the hills where traffic cannot reason- ably be interfered with and where the chances for accidents are the best. There is no meore delightful exer- cise than sliding. and there is neme that causes fewer serions accidents if proper care is exercised and “safe” hills are usad. When city authorities step the sport on certain hills there is invariably justification for it. The protection of life is far more impor- tant then the pleasure and exercise involved in sliding when it is being done at unreasonable risk. But when reports bring information to the ef- fect that people gasped in horror as a boy on his sled dashed ynder a swift- ly moving stfeet car in one state and a trolley car in another had to be jacked up to remove the bedy of a girl slider it becomes plain that there is need for the restrictiens that are not applied, GET IT STARTED. It we are te judge by the indicated pian to favor the extemsion of a loan of 850,000,000 to relieve the deplorable conditions regarding feed supplies im Poland, Armenia and Austria, it is the ea of tHe congressienal committee not to deny assistance to meet star- vation conditions but t6 make sure that our treasury ish't going to be opened for mare than is needed. No one can quarrel with the idea of | making sure that the idea is right be- fore going ahegd. That is a wise course provided that during the delay in furnishing part of what is asked a large ineregse in the death list is not caused. If we are geing to extend help we should get it there before it is toe lgte. That. doesn't ean, that we should needlessly throw away our food or our meney, but that we sheuld hasten our decision as ta what we afe going to do whether it is a half, a third or a sixth of what was asked, and get the feod started. If the situation is such that help is actudlly needed, and all these who have adviged in regard to the appro- priation give the impressign that it is, we are only aggravating the sufferers by indieating that we arp going to do sompthing but cannot daeide what it will be. It is far hettér tp authorize the loan of the fifty million dollars and get the good Wwork started so that it can check the gtarvatipn at theear-| liest- possible moment than te wait until it is ‘top late in the hopes of getting a larger amount. . What is needed is rekief. That would be pro- vided) by most auy of the sums that have been mentioned and if it is later found advisgble to increase the amount that can be dome with far better grace when the time comes than by mgking unnecepsary delays! now. It should he remembered in this as well as in other connestions that he who lehds quickly renders . a double service. ————e EDITORIAL NOTES, January certainly did its hest send the househoider plumb te bottom of his eeal bin. to the Not all-the target praétice in the navy depapiment is being egrried on at Guantangmo this winter.
