for the executive signature.
In this bill provision is made to in
crease the war debt to twenty billions
Of dollars. That is an increase Of eight
billions, twelve billions having been
taken in previous loans. 1t will be,
as said, the fourth loan since entering
the war and probably the last loan to
addition to the thrift stamp and war
savings stamp campaigns.
In this bill there is also provision
to extend our credits to the allies At
present there have been loaned the
allies $500, 0OO, 900 and this bill ex-
tends that by 5OO,O00,OO0, making
our loans to them $1,000, 900 900 all
told. That is to say, that out of the
total of $4,000, 100000 authorized, ST.
900 100000 are for the allies in the
form of loans to be repaid with inter-
est and $4,000, 100000 cover our own
Indebtedness. Thus instead of a total
of $4,000 ,000, 900 of war debt, there is
a net total of $4,000 100000. Practi-
cally all of the $500, 100000 loaned
the allies, and of the 81, 500, 600, 900
still to be loaned them, has and will
be spent in this country, the money
returning to our circulation and pay
ing for American products, both ma
terial and labor.
War always is an expensive PROPOSE
ton and always will be. Many times
in the past nations have been whipped
and even destroyed through the money
cost rather than through the military
defeats. Nation after nation has lost
a war because of it's inability to pay
rather than its inability to fight. Only
as recently as the Jap-Russo war the
Japanese were victorious in every fight
and yet were down and out solely on
account of resources, which in the
final analysis means money
But despite the huge sums being
spent for war and by this country, the
strength of the nation is we'll shown
by the steady increase Of bank saw
ings, of investments in homes, and in
industrial expansion, and by the man
ner in which every loan is absorbed
and every call for large gifts like the
Red Cross is met and passed. Billions
are asked for war but more billions

cal organization as the league to lead
the fight against the milk fed office
holders and Office seekers who, In
many parts Of the country are cater

tons here and, without its motives be-
Ing questioned, can expose the rank
pacifism which has featured their Do

support that pledge by electing men

WISE AND AUDACIOUs BIRD

Travellers In the Orient have much to

COrvus splendens-thus have orni-
biologists labelled him; but a famous
naturalist who knows the breed at first

tnese impish creatures their due, how
ever, 1t should be said that life In
India Is not little enlivened by their
presence. Here is characteristic
tale OF their doings:
A small hawk had seized little bird
and perched on a leafless branch to
devour his prey. The spectacle drew
TWO crows to the spot. They hoped

 Tt grows clearer day by day. the sta tement continued, that the feeble op- position to democracy's aims proclaimed by those who while protesting faith in democracy, have sought to undermine democracy's strength by continuously i misrepresenting the purposes of our democracy, must grow still more feeble ana become finally impotent.
 We can realize to the full the possi- bilities of the future only when the world, by conduct in deeds. and not alone by the protestations of statesmen, accepts the standards of democracy and lives 1 from day to day according to them. Tt l that end there can be no compromise with autocracy, no bandying of words with autocrats, no negotiated peace nothing but compete triumph for demo- lcratic principles written into the world ( | history by the deeds of all the world | peoples in common concert.
