succeed in convincing some people that
really he Is what he says he is.

An international Boycott

bear DO uIIl lhft after the war
comes peace; that the most ruth
less enemies Of today must con-
t.n9e to live in the same world
and, when the quarrel is over, be
friends again, The participants
in the present war, however,
are showing no such wisdom.
The governments Of the Central
powers have been teaching their
people to hate their enemies.
They plan to humiliate their foes
as well as greatly extend their
control over them. Now the
Entente Allies, too, have made
an agreement that means that
war Of a kind will be continued
after the hostile cannon have
ceased to roar. In effect it is an
agreement that they will never
again have with their present
enemies any dealings that they
can possibly avoid.
SO far it is merely the general
outline of a trade policy to be
worked out in detail later, and to
be embodied in the laws of each
of the governments concerned;
but the principles agreed upon
by the representatives Of the AL
led powers at the economic con-
terence in Paris in June are
definite. They apply to three
distinct periods: O. to the
period Of the war; l2) to a
period after the war, the limit of
which they have no. yet deter
mined, and CD to all succeeding
time.
Naturally, during the continu
ance Of active hostiIities, the Al
lies will permit nc trade with
enemy countries, During the
intermediate period they will re-
fuse to renew the commercial
treaties that - like all other
treaties have been abrOgated by
the war. That means that even
alter the war they will not grant
to their present enemies the
trade concessions that they
made to lhe most favored ma
tom Moreover, they will pre-
serve for the Allied countries, in
preference to all others, their
natural resources" and will fix
a period of time during which
the commerce OF enemy powers
shall be subjected either to pro-
hibition or to a 81 ecial system
which shall be etfcacious."
They further agree that after
the expiration of the second
period they will encourage and
help one another by a sys-
tenn Of subsidies, and discourage
all other countries by tariffs OF
prohibitions. Thus they hope to
make themselves independent
OF other nations, and particularly
of their present enemies, AS re-
CARDS raw materials and manu-
featured articles WAich are es-
sentIal to the normal develop
ment Of heIrecouomic activity, y
1t is a startling plan, Should
it be carried out, Great Britain,
the apostle of free trade, will be
found maintaining preferential
tariffs and prohibitions, granting
protective subsidies, and violat-
ing on a grand scale lis maxim
that it is the highest wisdom tC
buy in the cheapest market.
What is proposed is really a per
petual trade war combined with
an international boycott, Like
i, the boycott Of an individual, it Is
a product Of hatred, and in the
, years to come can produce moth
ing except bitterness and a de
= sire for revenge on the part OF

THE "PAY-UP WEEK"
MOVE MENT is IN

There was a well attended meeting of
the Waterville Chamber of CONNER; g
Thursday evening to consider the enter
of National Pay Up week. The matter
was presented to c. +. 3. Walker, who
received the matter from the concern in
the West which is promoting it. md also
from Bangor. where they have gone into
the thing TO a great extent The whole
idea was explained and those prcsen.
asked what questions they wished and
then it was voted to adopt the plan. AS
only part OF the merchants and few
of the professional men were present,
and as it is hoped that everyone in the
city will take part in it. President Pat
terson called for volunteers to canvass
the city on Friday, and get everyone
possible interested and willing to go in %
do everything to make it success. The
volunteers responded in good shape ana
plans were made for covering the city
thoroughly on Friday morning so that
the orders for the necessary material
could be sent out on Friday. The PLAZA
as explained by Mr. Walker looked like
an exceedingly good one to those present
and they regretted that there were not
more of the merchants and professional
men of the city present to hear it as ex-
planned by him. A number of the mem
bers of the Fairfield Board of Trade
were present and they will probably take
up the matter in that town Immediately.

Indoor activities at Colby are now well
under way and, thanks to the interest

and the corridors. There has been
near panic in the Opera house couple
of times owing to the lights going out
and some fool starting the cry OF fire.
and it is planned to have the gas so
that if the electric light should fail
the gas would still keep the building
light enough so that the chances OF
a panic would be greatly lessened. The
Opera house is considered by experts
as being a thoroughly safe place with
the various exits and the wide doors
and corridors and it would only be in
case of a panic that there would be
any danger of anyone getting injured
because Of fire.
