LIVIA, Minn., is a little town which might easily have recognized itself as the original | of Sinclair Lewis's Gopher Prairie. | » Michael J. Dowling was the Olivia banker. He 4tied Monday, and his death is a national loss. _ When fourteen years of age the Dowling boy was caught in one of the terrible blizzards of the | Northwest. He was frozen almost to death. As a | result of his experience, both legs, his left arm and most of his right hand had to be amputated. Soon after he was left an orphan and a public charge. Surely here was a prospect as dark as could well be imagined. But Gopher Prairie and young Michael Dowling combined forces. The materialistic Main Streeters decided that Michael deserved help. They fixed him up with artificial limbs and sent him to college. Gopher Prairie taxation paid the bill. Plucky young Mike did well in his college work in-spite of, his physical handicaps. He developed ness acumen. He worked up in the business world of Main Street and became a banker. He ‘triumphed over his infirmities, He developed ability of penalties is discontinued forthwith. Which means, if it means anything, that the Treaty of Versailles is to be regarded as already out of date ami that Germany’s obligations are to be treated as something quite different from the obliga- tions of a defeated power responsible for the war and compelled by direct and continuing pressure to make reparation. The German Government sharply corrected on this point. On the other band, it has become increasingly apparent that the French Government would be disappointed by any reparations settlement that did not leave a pretext for occupying the Ruhr and— economically speaking—getting heavily and perma- nently astride the German neck. The crux of the whole reparations question has been the difficulty of finding an arrangement that will permit Germany to pay in the only way she will have to be can pay, without at the same time building up Ger- man industry and preparing the way for future German prosperity. . Gradually the truth has become clearer: Heap- ing retribution and ruin upon Germany beyond a certain point is not compatible with the restoration oi the rest of Europe. It is only natural that France should be the slowest to admit this truth and French politicians have certainly not hurried its recognition. Lloyd George is much nearer to accepting it than Briand. But the British tendency has been to back up France. a be say much in a few words, Wheat kind of a letter do you find most readable? that gives you the worth of a thousand words in u couple of hundred?
