OUR LOANS TO OUR ALLIES.

The loans made by the United States to the gov
ernments at war with Germany are arranged by
Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo and submitted
to the president and made with his approval
These loans, says the secretary in a recent official
statement essential for our own protection
not only for our protection in a military way but
for our economic protection and welfare
Very little of the money loaned to our allies. the
secretary states, goes out of the United States
Most of it is spent right here for war materials
and food stuffs. The money we are advancing is
not contribution; it is loan, on which they will
pay interest and which ultimately will be repaid
in full. Our allies are looked upon by us as sov-
ent peoples, without ready money but with per-
fecty good credit.
Their expenditures of this money in this country
are supervised by us. Their purchases are made
with the advice and assistance of our war indus
tries board. This system not only protects the
borrowing ally but prevents competitive bidding
against the other allies and the United States
ITSELF and obtains for the borrower the same
prices, the same terms and the same treatment our
own government demands in making it's own pur
chases
When one remembers that the loans made to
our allies enable them to do the fighting that
otherwise the American army would have to do at
much expense, not only of men but of money
money which would not be returned to us and
lives that could never be restored, the wisdom of
our policy in financing our allies is plain to every
one. It is not only duty to them that we are per-
forming in lending them part of our great wealth
1t is great duty we are performing to our SOL
diers and sailors and nation in making our
allies powerful and effective, thus lessening the
work and danger and suffering for our own men
and in bringing the war to an earlier close. =

SOMETHING THAT CAN WAIT.

Secretary Of War Baker foresees for this nation
an ultimate military policy conceived in spirit
which will be adequate to preserve against any
possible attack those vital principles of liberty
upon which democratic institutions are based. -
without fostering .the growth Of mere militarist
ambitions or alarming nations with whom it is
our wish to live at peace
The war department, therefore, does not now
seek legislation fixing permanent military pol
icy. That must inevitably be affected by the
terms OF peace, President Wilson has said in
various addresses A democratic peace might in
cline the nations to live in harmonious and Just
accord, " with no greater military establishments
than national and international police authority
might require. A drawn verdict or victory for
German autocracy, crushing in consequence the
aspirations of the German people for self-rule,
might mean that every man must be trained as a
soldier and kept in training during his best years
We shall not know what to do until the war is
over, and Secretary Baker is wise in refusing to
complicate situation by demanding policy Of
universal military training at this time No one
knows just what is going to happen in this world
IN the next year or two. Circumstances alter
cases, as the copy books say.

THE PEOPLES CREED.

If you failed to clip from your newspaper the
full text Of the message delivered by President
Wilson at the opening of the present session of
congress- make an effort to get copy Of it in
some form or another, and save it for future
reading. 1t is an inspiring, encouraging, aggres-
sive document, defeating us as nation to the
highest ideals. There may be days of discour-
agement ahead when you will find your own
mind clonded as to the great issues for which we
are lighting. In that hour it will be well to recall
that the president has pledged the nation ito
crush this intolerable Thing of which the masters
OF Germany have shown us the ugly face, this
menace of combined intrigue and force which we
now see so clearly the German power, a thing
without conscience or honor or capacity for cove
nanted peace" There is much more than mes
sage to congress in that document. It is writ
ten creed that the American people have accept
ed already as their articles of faith.

CALL FOR SEED IS GROWING
Several Hundred Bushel of Wheat
Wanted by Farmers EXCHANGE.

Several men visit the County Agent s
Office each day asking, "Where can
obtain seed wheat or seed potatoes?"
Most of the farmers are alive to their
responsibility of crop production. If
these farmers cannot obtain seed Ad-
olson county cannot expect big pro-
duction. There seems to be shortage
in beans, wheat and potatoes, but par
ticularly wheat and potatoes.
There is no better way of distribution
of this seed than through the Farmers
Exchange. There is already a call for
80 bushels of wheat in this county and
call for much larger amount outside
of the county. Several hundred bushel
could be sold through the Exchange at
once if it was available. There are
probably several men in the county
who have few extra bushel of seed
but do not think they have enough to
count and do not take the trouble to
sell it. Every man who has an extra
bushel of wheat or potatoes or beans
should report at once to the Farmers
Exchange, Middlebury.
