TWO BIC EVENTS FOR HARVEST

haven't lost one bit of our admiration
for the French. We are blood brothers
with them now, but let's drop this
talk about our "debt." Any debts we
ever owed France have been paid in
full.
The French treaty should be turned
down promptly, decisively and une-
quivocally. 1t is wholly indefensible.
1t gives France blanket guarantee
of our protection with absolutely no.
thing offered in return. Probably we
would go to the aid Of France if she
were threatened again, but why bind
ourselves in advance to do so? Why
anticipate a decision on such a mo.
mentous question as war? Why pledge
this country to enter another great
war before it even knows the condi-
tions?
Idealism in men or nations is wholly
praiseworthy but the idealist who ne
elects his duties as family provider
to chase rainbows ceases to be admir-
able. Uncle Sam has about reached
the stage where he should prove him.
