But we land Franos Sad England a =aM=on dollars a day. - There is not enough money in this jcouiltry to start new enterprises or even to maintain some old ones. But there.is. enough poney in Prance to maintain the biggest army Franoe ever had, and enoughmoney in Eng land to maintain the biggest navy England ever had. And still we lend France and Eng land a miift dollars a day. The war is over and Germany is disarmed and helpless. Yet France aind England are spending hundreds of millions to finance warlike enter prises in Poland, in Anatolia, - in Cilicia, in Silesia, and in Ireland, and are maintaining, under arms, military and naval forces that are far greater than those which Ger many maintained. They can find the money for this huge waste upon purely imperialistic and military en terprises, and cannot find the money Hotel Rates. T HE National Wholesale Dry goods Association, whose men beri employ several thousand Iraveling men, has begun an or ganized movement to reduce hotel rates throughout the country. Some of these rates are exorbi tant. One of the newest large hotels in New York, recently opened, has adopted eight dollars a day as the minimum charge for a single room. The Wholesale Drygoods Assosla tion is collecting exhibits giving c,.omparisons of eest of some thing. that the hotel mien have to buy. It finds that last year the labor of a cleaner cest five dollars a day 2and was hard to get at that. Now there are two applicants for every place-at 43.50 to $4 a day. -' One year aps one jinded' pounds of granulated sogar cooit thirty dol lars. Now thirty dollars buys 100 pounds of sugar, 100 pounds of flour, 25 pounds of oatmeal, 12 pound. of viee, 12 pounds of beans, 12 canis . of peaches, 12 cans of hominy, 12 cans of pork an<L beans; 4 pounds of ooffee, 12 cans of tomatoes, 12 cans of corn. one box of ersekers. - A wholesae grocer to whom this* list was submitted for verffmlao replied that the thirty delhr .Wd net only buy the ites amtimd. -btwesid aw buy the 9ery .beet Ia e j s M .s on or any and day.

NI5ody; is menacing Eiande with attack. Nobody is threatening England with attack. All either one of them has to do is to behave itself and treat other peoples fairly and decently, and - other peoples will let it alone. The peace of the world was never so precarious as it is now, as a re sult of the militarism, navalism and imperialism of England and France, and the political and military en terprises upon which they are spending the billions they owe us. And stil we lend them a million dollars a day. We keep right on financing their militarism and navalism and im perialism while our own peaceful industries languish for want of money. There is only one sensible thing to do, and that is to stop this drain -to say to these debtors, "Pay us!" It is an inexcusable crime against our own welfare to continue to loan these foreign governments the money that our own people need for American use. Stop it! We need that million dollars a day IN AMERICA-and we need it NOW. Pooh! Pou - wU re plybg politiosthats 9a. , You niy na8 down the German vote, but you can't nail down the American vote-thank God!" It was in these noble, ringing words that Representative Pon of North Carolina attacked the resoluz tion in Congress declaring the war it an end. - Let us hope that Repre sentative Pou 's sentiments will be graven upon the tablets of history'. The thought that brings tears to our eyes, however, is that he gets paid for it. We had, no idea that a German vote or an 'American vote or a COeeo-Slovakian vote could be nailed down or up or sideways or against. 'If Congress has it in mind to do any ailing, we would suggest nail ing boards across some of the holes through which so many thousands of millions of dollars leaked during the -liSt Administration. ft is the Congressman who talks al t votes who is playing politics. Mosing his fellow Congressmen of doing what he is doing himself is the usual trick.. If Congress ~vr intends to get down to businei instead of wasting its own and the publie's time with such speeches as the above, it will have to pooh-pooh its Pons when they thvow the elnskohits evrtheir psltie'and . wt.
