IP TO FRANCE
Chaos must reign in Europe for an
other period of time.
The international bankers of the
world, with J. P. Morgan at their
head, have ruled against extending a
loan to Germany without first having
the w'ar reparations placed at a figure
which the Germans will be able to
meet without completely wrecking
their industries and reducing the pop
ulation to absolute poverty and slav
ery.
Every nation concerned agreed to
and advocated a revision of the repai’a
tions figures except France. She re
fused and by her refusal the loan was
blocked.
In demanding her pound of flesh
to the last ounce, when a reasonable j
concession would have meant the re
habilitation of stricken Europe, her
self included, France has made the
mistake of her life, one which will cost
her dearly in the end.
Had she agreed to a revision of the j
reparations the situation
would have been rapidly cleared up
through the action of the bankers in
financing a readjustment and the con
sequent return to industrial and com
mercial prosperity.
This improvement would have ex
tended to America and every other dis
tant country. The whole world would
have shared in the beneficial results.
France, it w r ould seem, is scr blind
ed with passion she can not see the
handwriting on the wall, although it
is plain to every other nation under
the sun.
If she persists in her present course
to the detriment of the entire world,
the day may come when she will have
to fight Germany again, but she will
fight alone. There will be no foreign
armies sent to her relief, as was done
in the last war. Other nations will
not care to sacrifice their sons to aid
a nation that is too stubborn to aid
itself.
In three months the international
bankers wall meet again. The French
have yet time in which to redeem
themselves—if they will.

Government chemists are now work
ing out a means of producing a cheap
fuel for motor cars from corn cobs,
and are said to be meeting with grati
fying success.
It is doubtful, however, if it will
ever be placed on the market where
the users of motor cars can take ad
vantage of it at reduced cost. The
oil and gasoline interests are too rich
and powerful to ever allow such dis
astrous competition with their indus
try to exist.
Periodically we hear such reports,
and motorists become enthused over
the possibility of cheaper fuel for their
engines.
Then the project goes the way of its
predecessors—possibly through stran
gulation—and the public continues to
line the pockets of the oil barons.
The great American throat is not
so parched as it was. It is becoming
wetter every day.
Statistics from Washington state
that in 1921 every man, woman and
child in the United States consumed
an average of forty-nine gallons of
milk, or nearly a gallon a week per
capita.
That is encouraging. It is also dis
heartening—to those who would abol
ish prohibition.
A nation that consumes a gallon of
milk a week per person will surely
not suffer to any great extent as a re
sult of that “terrible thirst.”
In time it may become corpulent—
even fat.
The flapper has had a great run for
her money.
She has been the observed of all
observers, the admired of all admirers
and the cussed of all cmsers.
She flapped herself into fame and
now she is on the verge of flapping
herself into oblivion.
But there’s a reason.
Americans like sensations —those
that are spicy, but brief. We haven’t
the time to pursuie any one sensation
to a great length. There are too
many others waiting to edge in.
The flapper was a sensation—for a
time. But she flapped so strenuously,
in season and out, that she became
wearisome to the public, and now she
is about to become a nuisance. Scon
she will be flapping only for her own
admiration.
But she was quite worth while. She
furnished us a few thrills, and was
the object of many now jests—all of
which is necessary in the average A
merican day.
We will bid her adieu without re
gret.
But, Loi’d What will we get next ?
Laws are made for the protection
of the people who live under them.
If a law is a good one it should be
enforced. No favor should be shown

powerful or to the insignifica.it. If it
is not a good law it should be repealed. :
We have too many laws that are
dead letters. They are only resurrect
ed when some crusty cuss wants to
satisfy a grudge, or some prosecutor
wants to make a safe splurge. At
other times they are disregarded with
impunity.
This condition is well known to the
public, and even to the younger gen
eration ust merging into manhood. It
is not conducive to respect for either
) law or order. It is a breeder ox eva
] sion and is the father of contempt.

A well known labor leader advocates
the elimination of strikes and strong
arm tactics in the settlement of dis
putes with employers. He remarks,
justly, that the public is tired of them,
and that when an organization gets in
Dutch with the people it is in a bad
way.
The laborer is worthy of a just hire
—no more, and no less.
Neither side has a right to assume
a “dog in the manger” attitude nor
have they the right to rcb the buying
public to fatten themselves.
The only effective remedy for this
condition of affairs lies in the bands
of congress and the government.
There are too many swollen incomes
in this country. This condition is
made possible by combinations in re
straint of trade and by profiteering in
the form of extravagant price boost
ing.
These matters should be regulated
by law, and the penalty for violations
should not be in the form of fines. The
guilty should be sent to jail.
And in order that punishment may
be swift and sure, the public official
who fails to prosecute should himself
be sent to jail for shirking his sworn
duty.
These may seem like harsh meas
ures, but they are the only ones that
will prevail.
Labor leaders will continue to order
strikes as long as employers continue
to gouge the public and put all of the
spoils in their own pocket.
Eliminate gouging and strike a fifty
fifty basis of settlement and strikes
will be a thing of the past.
WILL SURELY HELP OTHERS
Rheumatic pains, swollen, aching,
stiff joints and muscles, dizziness and
blurred vision are symptoms of kid
ney trouble, Mrs. A. Lechner, 1129
Main Ave., Clifton, N. J., writes: “Fo

ly give permission to use this as a
