SENATOR LODGE AND SHANTUNG
Copyright by George Matthew Adams


REPUBLICAN strong men" in the Senate and
particularly Senator Lodge, long noted for his IA
miaiarty with the interest in foreign affairs are
moved to tears over the "crime of Shantung." Be-
cause of Japans acquisition of the territory that
Germany grabbed from China, Senator Lodge and
others would reject the peace treaty and throw the
League OF Nations covenant into the boneyard
1t is more than passing strange that Senator
Lodge should suddenly develop so deep an interest
In Chinas territorial integrity after the lapse of
twenty-one years during which he was silent and
stone cold on that subject
1t was in 1898 that the international robbery
was committed and Shantung passed to the posses
sion OF Germany. Senator Lodge was then in the
Senate, President Mckinley was in the White
House. the Republicans were in control every
where Senator Teller and some leaders of the op-
position party denounced the dismemberment of
China and declared it be Americas duty to "jon
with Great Britain in notice to Russia and Ger
many that dsmemberment will not be permitted"
Did Senator Lodge define a similar attitude for
himself? Not until the lapse of twenty-one years,
then suddenly to burst into tears to be moved to in
tense indignation by the transfer of bit of terri
tory from one international robber to another
strong-arm nation whose title is at least no worse
than was that of the mperialistic country Senator
Lodge saw commit the original robbery without so
much as lifting his voice in protest Verify, the
years have sOftened the Massachusetts Senator's
heart but have failed to make consistency his Jewell

of dollars will accordinly have been effected

PAY YOUR DEBTS.

Every progressive bank in the ma
tion is constantly urging the public
to get in the habit of saving and
paying off its debts. Contrary to the
opinion of many, banker is not in
terested in having a customer loaded
down with debts.
Owing debts, and being a borrower
at bank are two different things.
A banker extends credit to enable
business to be carried on. In one
way this is a debt, but it is a vastly
different debt from the kind owed by
a man who simply fails to meet his
obligations for lack of systematic saw
ing.
A bank must loan money to live,
but it wants to loan to people who
save. The day of the Shylock is
passed as the modern bank must live
from prosperous and not bankrupt
communities.
Geo. Il. Roberts, vice president of
the National City Bank. says: "The
banker can render no better serv-
ice 10 the farmer than advising him
to use the proceeds of present high
prices to pay off his debts. 1t is a
fact that people commonly go
into debt in gooc times and pay their
debts under pressure in bad times.

OBSTACLES TO BUILDING

Building operations are increasing
in large cities and in the farming sec
tions.
The Wichita Beacon says:
While there is a feeling of uncer-
tainty among builders concerning the
continuance Of building operations in
Wichita, because OF high priced ma
terial and scarcity and uncertainty
of labor, there has been, nevertheless,
considerable activity manifested in
building lines.
In smaller cities and town the
volume of building is still low The
masses of the people, are nine fam
lilies out of ten are not able or willing
to pay war wages.
But conditions for the lumber
trade are improving as lumber is still
the cheapest building material and
coupled with the increased domestic
demand. export trade is active.
