PAGE 6 EDITORIAL— | A Sweet Mess | A reader sends us a clipping telling how the war depart- ment had contracted to send 27,000,000 pounds of sugar to France, to be sold at bargain rates, The reader asks why, and wonders if there isn’t somebody at Washington who will take as much interest in American housewives as they do in French dames, We don’t know, any more than we know why Uncle Sam sells nearly two billion dollars’ worth of supplies and equip- ment to France for one-fifth their value, and, at the same time, refuses to place on the home market these supplies, or even to allow the farmers of the country to use govern- ment excess explosives to clear land to raise more food. We are plain ignorant, and our minds fail to grasp all ‘ the delicate diplomatic dumpings of good American foods " at half price Over There, while we pay two prices here at home. ad If anybody asked us we would say that the 100,000,000 i folks here are as important as the 45,000,000 in France, and that if anybody was going to get governmental sugar the folks who footed the extensive bills of said government should get the first chance at the federal sugar bowl, But, as we said before, we are merely a plain, unimagina tive sort of person, We don’t know anything much about the league of nations. We do not know why Newt Baker can shovel out millions of pounds of sugar to France, while our-wife can’t find a grocer in town Who will sell her more than 15 cents’ worth. And we expect we never will know, because we haven't the official mind. | If we Were doing it we would see that every last sugar bowl in this country was heaped full before we let anybody abroad edge in at bargain rates, and we would feed and clothe the home folks first before we let our big, heaving heart get all excited over the aliens over yon. | But, doubtless, we lack the world perspective. We are} a Little American, and we do not understand the high and holy motives that are guiding Newt Baker and his ilk— motives that are so high and lofty that their working out _ has forced us to pay three prices for our own goods, and frequently to suffer from lack of the necessities of life, while every other nation on earth took first choice of our resources, foods and raw materials, and got them at bar- gain rates. j A gross, common sort of a person might say we were) making fools of ourselves, unloading our kindnesses on the | entire world, and going without the staple necessities, | while our beneficiaries laughed at us. And if any one here present imagines that Europe is loving us, or is admiring us, or is expecting in any way to reciprocate for our many benefactions, that person is even a denser person than the unimaginative editor, here| oe stpecine his omg materialistic mind. : le who taketh not care of his own household is worse than an infidel.” Our pious Newt might chew on that text.
