LLOYD GEORGE IN A NAPOLEONIC
ROLE.

History keeps repeating itself. About
III years ago Napoleon returned to
Paris from his campaign in Egypt.
He found the French people in con-
fused state of mind, caused largely
by the defeats of their armies. Condi-
tons were ripe for change, and Ma
poleon harvested the crop. He seiz-
ed the government 81 France without
much Opposition. AS First Consul
he was given, or rather took, the
power Of appointing All public of
ficers. Of proposing all measures of
peace or war and Of all administra-
tive affairs civil and military. In a
word, he became the ruler of France.
Great Britain at the present time
is in a condition somewhat similar
to that OF France at the time when
Napoleon became First Consul, and
Lloyd George has practically dupli-
Gated the conduct of Napoleon by be-
coming the absolute ruler of the
British Empire. Can 'the Little
Welshman' as he is frequently called,
duplicate the record of "the Little
Corsican?" No royal blood flows
through the veins of Lloyd-GeoIge.
Like Napoleon his forbears were poor
working people. Both of these men
rose to the top through the whirling
fortunes Of war. How will Lloyd
George complete the smile?

THE AMERICAN IDEAL
(By E. B. Porter of Delhi.)

Most nations that have become
great have had ideals, generally pow
er in some form. R0me's ideal was
to rule the world through her le-
gions; England's ideal was to be
mistress of the seas and control
foreign colonies; Russia, the expan-
sion of her boundaries, especially to
Constantinople; = France to lead thru
financial thrift, art and polish; Ger
many to spread her culture, COM
merce and people over the world and
put them in power by military force
The United States, like a growing
boy, is only awakening to her ideal
Our forefathers had ideals but their
United States was not the United
States Of today in thought or racial
characteristics. The true ideal Of
today is to dominate the world, not
through armies, layies money or the
soft attractions of art and luxury,
out through the kindly influence OF
ennobling example in commerce.
morals and especially in social and
economic conditions, to be the domi-
mating member in the worlds league
FOR peace. We will make machinery
so cheap and so good that the China
nan will gladly give more of his
FOODS in order to live in his native
and under the improved conditions.
South America will furnish us the
untold riches Of her mines and trop-
ical forests that she may ride in
automobiles and aeroplanes. We will
send food to Europe in such quanti-
ties in exchange for her products
that her laborers will be glad to re-
main at home and rebuild her ruined
cities without the crushing load
of militarism upon them. American
art, literature and science will make

WHY PRICES ARE HIGH.

Strictly speaking, prices are not
high, but money Is more plentiful.
The present change to higher pric-
60 10 largely caused by the increase in
the country's money supply.
In 1896 the change to lower prices
\ was largely caused by the shrinkage
in the country's circulating medium.
Then, as now, the masses seemed
unable to understand the cause re-
sponsible for the change They CROP
[ ed around like blindfolded children.
In 1896 the money in circulation
was little il any more than SIS per
capita Now it is believed to be about
$45 per capita.
According to the cumulative theory
of money the prices of all commodi-
ties should now be three times as
much as they were in 1896, because
our money measure is now three
times as long.
During the closing years of the last
a5SCAtWAy tAC uAOAOy pO"OA, w oIOoAIAy,
tricky legislation, and other schemes,
reMlced the volume of money circu-
lating in this country far below the
normal standard AS an inevitable re-
suit every producing industry of the
country suffered on account of the
scarcity of money, and the Wall Street,
Shylocks vastly increased their gains.
Many of them became millionaires and
some OF them even billionaires.
Now the European war and just
legislation has caused the scale to
tip in the opposite direction. An
abnormal demand for American pro-
ducts in Europe has brought flood
OF gold to our shores and the price
of commodities has become relative
41y dear and the price OF money meas
sured by commodities has become
cheap. That is why Wall Street is
squealing and asking for an embargo
on the export of farm products.
