WHO GETS THE MONEY

1t is proper and timely to inquire
who is going to get this S25,000,00O
that the United States is asked by
the Administration TO appropriate
as a balm to the wounded feelings
Of Colombia. Generally speaking,
nations don't make settlements of
this kind until after a good mary
wires have been pulled and a good
oeal of influence has been brought
into play. Commonly, too, in a big
pot Of swag like this there is a
large percentage that must go to
pay for The grease that has been
used on the wheels of influence.
II is much better that this whole
affair be fully understood before
the appropriation is made, than
afterward. If there are any million
dollar fees to be paid to interna-
tional lawyers or lobbyists, let's
know them and see the schedule.
Let's know what they did to earn
the money. 1t would be interesting
at least to know with whom a Dip
lomatic lobbyist can have a million
dollars worth of influence. If it is
true, as persistently reported, that
the Colombian government is await
ing these rich pickings with keen
est anticipation of a melon cutting.
that would be worth knowing, too,
Il needs no overreachings of the
imagination to picture condition
in such a country as Colombia, In
which the very government Itself
might be overthrown in the contests
over control of such a treasure as
this. The United States largess
may easily enough prove an apple
of discord instead of a balm of
Gilead. If there are to be any scan
dals, any exposures, or any revolu-
tons as result Of this remarkable

AGAIN, THE "CONCERT.

Germany and France have agreed
according to the European dis
patches, on a program whereby they
ere going to prevent a war in the
Balkan peninsula. They just natural
ly aren't going to permit Greece and
Turkey to have another war, and
there's the end of it.
Certainly not. They shouldn't per-
nit war, by any manner of means.
1t is as clear as mud that France
and Germany are in substantial ac-
cord about practically everything.
They are drawn and held together
as by band of steel, in a sweet and
beautiful harmony that renders quite
impossible the thought that any
sordid consideration would be per-
mitted to come between them and
the enforcement of the noble, al
trustic purpose, to which they are
devoted. They are just the combi-
nation to assume the responsibility
Of maintaining the worlds peace:
each Of them being at the moment
loaded to the last ounce of carrying
capacity with armaments intended
for the destruction of each other!
Reading of the firm purpose of
the "powers" to permit no more
fighting in Bahama, there is temp
tation to excessive hilarity. The
powers growled about the first Bal
kan war, and insisted that they
would never permit it; and while
they growled, the war was fought.
Then the powers protested that any
how there mustn't and couldn't be
any second war; and while they pro-
tested, that wicked and excuseless
contest was staged and most of the
good that had been achieved by the
first contest was undone. The
powers are a derision and a joke
in the near east, and not much
better in the far east. The only
thing on which they can agree is
that their aims and purposes are
selfish and their chief actuating
motive is jealousy and fear of one
another. At the business of world
policing, they are utterly incapable.
They make some pretense to taking
themselves seriously, and thereby
muddle affairs in fashions that could
be avoided if they would attend en-
tirely to their own business.
II Greece and Turkey want to
right, they will night, and nobody
will say them nay. Germany will
sell most of the munitions to Turkey
md France will probably take the |
contracts in behalf of Greece. Thus |
civilization will get its rake-off, the |
great industrial powers will be
with the contracts, the
london fnanciers will handle the |
ssues of bonds that will have to be |
,old to pay the bills. and "civil;za-
ion" and the Concert of powers"
will 5e entirely happy
A great institution, this so-called |
wentieth century civilization.

only 3S.167.33s persons. or 5s.3 per
cent of the population ten years of
age and over. were employed at gain

working population showed a big IN
