A GENTLEMAN'S OBLIGATION
smlTERE can be little doubt that our claim against the allied repa
ration commission for $241,000,000, in payment of the costs of
onr occupation army on the Rhine, will be met; the debated questions
seem to be when and how, the San Francisco Journal believes.
On a purely technical ground, our refusal to sign the Versailles
treaty, which is regarded by the allied ministers as a kind of first
mortgage, would seem technically to forfeit to us the right of collec
tion under that treaty. The fact that our claims are guaranteed
under a separate agreement with Germany the Berlin treaty which
the allies did not sign can be interpreted as implying that we should
collect our costs from Germany direct. It is further true that we
have never seen fit to negotiate with the other allies to establish the
validity of our agreement with Germany, and this puts us in the light
of demanding that they collect costs for us without agreement to
that trffect.
Critics of the Republican administration will not be slow to point
out that this is another instance of the confusion in America's posi
tion caused by our refusal to accept the League of Nations program.
The proverb about having one's cake and eating it, the fable of the
monkey and the chestnuts, and of the cat who wanted to land the
fish without wetting its paws, will all be quoted to .advantage. We
shall be charged with wishing to have things going and coming; with
opposing the Versailles treaty when convenient, and demanding rights
under it when profitable in short with claiming its privileges and
refusing its obligations.
'There is another light, however, from which the matter can be re
garded. We made our contribution to the occupation of the Rhine
at the invitation of Europe, and with no prospect of profit to our
selves. Morally, therefore, and as a gentleman's proposition, we are
entitled to share in the sums collected to defray the general costs of
occupation. Our omission to have this right guaranteed on paper
by the other allies may have been bad business, but as the nations
have signified their intentionher eafter of living up to the spirit a's
well as the letter of theirundertakiirgsit is reasonable to e"xpect that
our European allies will decline now to quibble over a technic.il point
in the law of contracts. And even leaving ethical standards aside,
good "will in business, among individuals or nations, demands a larger
and more equitable policy.
It is to be hoped, and in fact it is very probable that the European
allies will accede to the American demand, before this country re-
rorts to its privileges as a creditor, to force its claims.
CAPITOL- POST
So enthusiastic were members of the
Greater Carson Club in endorsing the
movement of Capitol Post to secure the
annual convention of the state posts
for this city that the post committee ap
pointed to put in the bid for the meet
ing believes that Carson may be des
ignated if backing counts for anything.
The committee appeared before the
board of directors of the club Mon
day night and was promised the solid
backing of the club in the efforts to
secure the convention and lor enter
tainment and general welfare of dele
gates who would come to this city.
Further steps will be taken by the
committee before- the state executive
committee meets to designate the con
vention city.

A COMPARISON
gW AN FRANCISCANS who may be uneasy about the growth of
Los Angeles may find some solace in comparative crime records,
San Francisco Jias bemoaned the fact that it is not as well advertised
as Jjos Angeles, yet it is that same advertising that seems to have
drawn the criminal element that Jias been performing there. Some of
the statistics are eloquent of the situation. In 1921 there were fifty
five murders, three of the victims being policemen, and 101,390 other
crimes. But it -was in highway robberies and hold-ups that that ciiy
achieved the record. There were 1042 in the twelve months, or an
average oi almost three for every day in the year.
The scattered population cannot be accepted as an excuse for this
showing, as comparison would disclose that Oakland is compartively
Tree Jrom crime, although covering a very large territory. The po
lice protection outside of the business district of Los Angeles is said
to be wholly inadequate. Indeed, it is pointed out that if that city
were willing to do with the same number of police officers as its
southern neighbor, -the difference in police maintenance would more
than take .care of advertising San Francisco around the world in a
way that Los Angeles has never approached.
Although the latter has more than one hundred thousand more
people than San Francisco, there are two hundred fewer patrolmen
and the territory to be covered is many times that within the cor
porate limits of San Francisco.
- WATCHING THE MOVIES
MOMEN of San Francisco :are trying to devise ways and means
to offset what they term "the effect of a certain vicious kind
of motion picture, shown to children. ' ' Mrs. Melville Silverberg,"
chairman of the Mental JJygiene Committee of the-California Wo
men's League, says it is the purpose of her committee to start a
movement to bring the children out to Golden Gate Park on Satur
day afternoons and on holidays, in order to teach them a love and
understanding of beautiful nature. Also the women are striving for
the te-establishment of the story-telling hours in the public libraries.
'These women make it plain that they are not opposed to motion pic
tures. On the contrary, they are convinced of the great educational
value oi the screen, properly applied. But they are setting their i
jaces against the suggestive type of picture which hints at things in
a roundabout way.

PETITION TO PRESIDENT
FROM MARION, O., POST
President Harding has received copies
of a resolution adopted by the Bird
McGir.nis Post, American Legion, of
Marion, Ohio, the President's home
town, favoring the passage of the ad
justed compensation bill 'now before
the senate. The resolution asserts the
bill is being opposed by certain manu
facturers' and jobbers' associations,
which have seized upon 1he difficulties
congress is experiencing in financing it.
An appeal is made to the President
and the congress in behalf of the bill,
claiming that the efforts against it pro
ceed from those who profited by -the
country's extremities in -war and not
from those who fought to protect its
national existence. The Chamber of
Commerce of Marion indorsed federal
adjusted compensation February 8 last.
The national executive committee, on
January 20, 1922, passed the following
resolution :
"Whereas, Numerous requests are re
ceived at national headquarters request
ing endorsement of divers and sundry
publications, and
"Whereas, The country is filled at the
present time with various enterprises
which attempt to impose upon the pa
triotic generosity of the American peo
ple, now, therefore, be it
"Resolved, That the policy of the
American Legion toward such requests
is that no endorsement be given , and
the public generally be advised to in
vestigate all claims purporting to be
in the interests of veteran with the
utmost care and thoroughness before
subscribing or donating any amount
whatsoever, using for the purpose of
investigation, chambers of commerce,
local financial institutions and other
regularly established agencies existing
in their respective communities, and
withhold all support until and unless
they receive favorable endorsement
through such agencies."
