Seattle— onthe, $9.78) year, $00 per month, ¢ Seattle next month is up against the biggest community undertaking of the year. _ Seattle next month, The Star believes, will successfully accomplish its great job. | _We refer to the Community Chest. Forty-three organizations engaged in charitable, amanitarian and better-citizenship endeavors have for the first time been brought into complete team work. They are submitting budgets to a central committee and ‘their work is being co-ordinated. - A community program is being mapped out. Get that idea—a COMMUNITY PRO- |. That means an end to overlapping, duplicated charity; an end to excessive or- ation and excessive overhead expense; an end to the mistake of too much work | devoted to some lines while other lines are neglected. ‘And it means economy. The total budget rans up to $750,000, Three-quarters of a Sounds like a lot of money, but when you stop to think that you are caring Bi 4 43 Seattle organizations (there are only 45 in the city), and that in giving the one i. you are saving yourself from 42 later appeals, the sum shrinks. over at one time. That means economy of effort and nerve force. Furthermore, it isn’t as if we were asked to give $750,000 cash. The payments are be scattered over the year. What is asked is pledges of regular, stated amounts. is a great task that lies ahead—the insuring of the success of this first commaun- ‘chest. Later ones will care for themselves, The value of the innovation will ly make itself apparent upon trial. TTERS TO EDITOR A Letter From Avridge Mann Kditor The Star; Dear Sir: T think you ought to bar the novel, “Main Street,” from The Star: the book is bunk, as you can see, by walking down Main et. with me, for everything that moets the eye procfaima the book a whopping lie Main at. you'll find, ty crowded thick with stores and houses built of brick; for many blocks it's bare of trees, and han a lot of Japanese; and does the book describe it #07 Most unequivocally, no! You'll find its pages very blank of “Japanese Commercial bank,” or “Moler’s Barber college,” or—for instance--Okasawa's store; nor has it anything to say about the Mandarin cafe Nor does tt mention anywhere the fire department building there; nor all the places you can go to hock your watch to get some dough; nor talk about a single place where “picture brider” will shave your face For all the novel has to say, you'd think Seattle awful jay, and rurally provincial, too, which I maintain is far from true, and such a bobk 1 would condemn, if it was up to me— A.

The allies must decide whether it is cheaper to accept German goods and keep their own workingmen unem- ployed or to postpone indefinitely the greater part of the indemnity and hold their home markets for the products of their own labey. Germany can pay the indemnity with her manufacturers if the allies will allow her to do so. Bat the allies already have se rious unemployment troubles and do not want to add to them. The allies might approve of Germany sending her manufactures to the United States, and thus creating eredits here for the allied indem- nity account. But unemployment in America would be increased by this arrangement, and the Ger- mans know the United States will not cooperate in any such inter- national philanthropy. The American experts at the peace conference opposed a heavy | indemnity on the ground that it couldn't be collected. The allies’ | own economic advisers took the same view. Their “statesmen” did not. The time has now come when the crisis must be met, In the end, the best the allies probably will be able to do for themselves will be to postpone payments and to accept long-term German bonds, hoping something will turn up in the distant future to make the bonds good.
