Sentiment Not Mawkish.

that veteran company returning from
France elected a cheer leader and pre-
pared to greet Mary Liberty" with
vocal barrage. But when the statue

up. and. looking around. he saw the other
men going glub-glub to keep their emo
ticns from overcoming them The story
was all right. but 1t belonged in a mo-

sentiment IN the heart of the average
soldier. and the sight of his home harbor

revised covenant Is greatly improved
over the original. That 1t is not per-
feet may well be conceded: that 1t
more apt and cogent terms need not
be debated. Nevertheless. 1t consti-
tutes a great step forward.
The republican state convention
held at Saratoga on July 10. 1918,
adopted platform which declared:
Demanded by Republicans.
I'VE favor the immediate creation
by the United States and it's allies of
a league Of nations to establish, from
time to time to modify, and to enforce
the rules Of international law and con-
duct. The purpose of this league
should be. not to displace patriotism
or devotion and loyalty to national
ideals and traditions. but rather to
give to these new opportunities of ex-
preston in cooperation with the
other nberty-loving nations of the
world. To membership IN the league
any nation might be admitted, that
possesses responsible government
which will abide by the rules OF law
and equity and by thCGe principles Of
international justice and morality
which are accepted by civilized
people"
The question before the republican
party today Is whether it shall allow
a few senators blinded by passion and
resentment at the President and his
administration to commit the party
of great national and International
ideals to the reversal of it's principles.

How Can Europe Pay Debit

How will Europe liquidate this un-
favorable trade balance. in addition to
paying $500. 00o. 900 or $500. 000. 900 in an
nual interest on her debt to US? How
can We make this market a favorable
market for Europe to buy in? There are
several possible solutions of this prob
lem. ma mely:
"a We might invest largely in pub
lic-service and industrial enterprises in
France and Belgium. either by putting
capital into new enterprises or by pur-
chasing the securities OF established
companies. Both countries will require
immense amounts of new capital until
their industries are restored. and will
probably look to the United States for
much Of it.
f2) We might increase our importa-
lions Of certain raw materials or semi
manufactured materials. Since. however
we were accustomed to importing these
commodities in large volume from Eu-
rope before the war We cannot hope to
increase their importation to any con-
siderable degree.
(3) The liquida ton. as formerly,
through London of increased bala noes
due certain Of the possessions of Great
Britain in their trade with US would
operate as offsets. And an increase in
our imports OF jute. tea. etc. from
Straits Settlements. and wool. hides.
etc. from Australia and South Africa
would. therefore. be helpful. The pro-
ceeds of the sale of these commodities
really go in large measure to British
capital and in the international excha ngea
operate as offsets In the account Of
Great Britain with us Likewise the
income from French and Belaian in
vestments abroad would operate to
bring up the items on the credit side
of those countries. The exchange situa-
ton as between Europe and the United
States would. therefore. be helped by
our increased importation Of the produce
of the overseas possessions OF Great
Britain. France and Belgium. or from
countries in which they have large in
Nestments.

has the country been backward in
meeting the just cleaims of his fun
damental industry. The farm loan
system was inaugurated for his ben
eft and has given him great advan
tages as borrower. Many millions of
dollars have been spent through the
Agricultural Department to assist the
farmer in the solution of his prob
lens. The soldier settlement bill it
self. and in precise terms. gives pref

Financial Phase Discussed.

Mr. Myrick proposes 100 per cent
loans. to be financed through the
fedora: farm loan system. supple
mented by an agricultural bank in
each state to purchase second mort
cages The soldier will purchase his
farm wherever he likes, so that there
vii. be no social or economic soldidar-
ity-no opportunity to organize CO.
operative agencies for the purchase
or supplies and distribution Of prod
ucts- There would be, of course. no
chance to create those social and in
teIlectual advantages proposed by
community settlement. and thus to
raise the standard of rural life.
Even II Mr.. Myrick's pan was sound
from financial point of view. and a
loan of 100 per cent is not considered
sound by any financial authority. it
would not meet the soldiers need.
II does not furnish one hour of en-
ployment at wages; hence. supplies
no opportunity whatever for the SOL
der without means to accumulate
money for first payments on land or
improvements. OR to purchase live
stock and equipment, or to serve as
working capital.

the soldier boy might become some

Even IL the soldier could borrow
100 per cent for the purchase of an
abandoned farm that nobody wants.
or for the purchase of a first class
paying place at the high prices now
prevailing, he could not take advan-
tage of the opportunity unless he had
money to pay for live stock and i'm

capital. In other words. Mr. Myrick' 8

Objections by National Grange.

The official representatives of the
national grange oppose the soldier
settlement bill on the ground that il
will make unfair competition with
farmers and tend TO reduce the cost
of living. and intimate that 1t could
only be justified in case the govern
ment should extend similar aid to
soldiers in every walk of life. Mr..
Myrick does not say he agrees with
this View. but since the only possible
effect of his petition could be to de-
feat the soldier settlement bill. it may
not be unfair to assume that he is
somewhat in sympathy with the
grange view.
