REVIVING AN OLD FALSEHOOD
A falsehood that has been systematically exploited for more
than a year is revived in a Paris despatch to the New York Tribune:
France holds England and America greatly to blame for what she
considers a bungling of the peace. In the first place, France was op
posed to what she regarded as a premature armistice, as she wanted
to push right on to Berlin. In the second place, sire favored complete
disarmament of the enemy.
France was not opposed to the .armistice. On the contrary, the
French were eager for the armistice, and Marshal Fosh compelled
the British to modify the original naval terms lest the armistice as
a whole should be so severe that the Germans would reject it.
Nor did the FreneKduring the armstice negotiations ever make
a demand for the "complete disarmament of the enemy." On the
contrary, they framed the military terms themselves and could have
made them still more drastic if they had wished, in compliance with
President Wilson's provision that the terms of the armistice should
be sucli as to make a resumption of war impossible.
After the armistice was signed and it was discovered that Ltfd
tndorff had cleverly masked the military collapse of Germany, an
anti-Wilson propaganda was established in Paris to make it appear
that the president was responsible for having forced an unfavorable
armistice upon the reluctant British and French. New York World.

COMING INCREASED ILLITERACY
The commissioners of educations of nine states recently met in
New York City for a solemn conclave. All agreed that the teaching
profession is in peril. Teachers continue to resign, normal school
attendance declines. Pupils in increasing numbers are ceasing to
be taught, or if taught, then on half-time. Thus in New York state
the shortage of teachers is more than 5,000, and between. January
28 and February 17, 23,000 pupils in New York City were sent home
owing to lack of teachers and jualified substitutes. The logic of this
record, and it is smybolical of the country, is plain. Unless the citi
zens who pay taxes act, then illiteracy, inadequate mental and moral
training, and unintelligent political action are to increase. If so, then
look out for the deluge.
The "acid test" of a real American patriot today is not what
he thinks about the Russian situation, or about industrial democracy,
or about the League of Nations. It is, whether he wants an educated
electorate in the republic of tomorrow, and children and yotith in
his home who have informed and trained minds. The only way he
can prove his desire for an educated democracy is by paying more
taxes and then seeing to it that he gets what he pays for. Even
the extra taxation may become nominal if superfluities and excres
cences in family life and school administration are inhibited and
prohibited. ) '

We Are Offering
As we get it, Mr. Hoover has been a Republican, but is trying
to live it down. Little Rock Arkansas Gazette.
John Barton Pavne, chairman of the U. S. shipping board says
"The question of the sale of the ex-German passenger ships
really involves government ownership or private ownership.
"My conviction is that the government ought not to operate
passenger ships, that they should be operated by private persons
under the American ilag, that we never can get more tor these ex
German. ships than now. As rates go down ana snips increase
prices will drop.
"The government should not be required to spend $75,000,000
to re-condition these ships, because: (a) The ships will not be
worth it to the government, and (b) They cannot be operated by
the government without serious loss, and after they are operated
for a time the country will grow tired of paying the expense, and
the merchant marine will be discredited.
In my view, the question or national policy should be re
solved in favor of placing these ships under private ownership
from the beginning. This is the only way to make a merchant
' marine possible.".
QO
FIXING UP MINING TAXES
For weeks conferences between the internal revenue depart
ment and large copper' companies have been taking place in Wash
ington relative to tax matters, and there will eventually be deter
mined a basis upon which the copper companies may figure their
income taxes.
Just .what should be allowed in determining depletion charges
has been the principal bone of contention.
This much appears certain: Practically all of the copper com
panics will be called upon to pav to the government additiona
amounts in taxes.
This taxation problem as it relates to industry is a whole lot
like the story of the goose that laid the golden eggs in the effort
to collect all the business can bar industry may be brought to the
non-productive stage. The metal mining industry of the west is
dangerously close to this point today.
MEXICO'S TRADE
As an example of the trade that America and Mexico have had
with each other, and the comparisons thn figures here given reveal
statistics for the year of 1910, the last year that can be called norma
in Mexican trade because of the internal difficulties the country'ha
experienced since that time, are as follows:
Mexico imported from:
