VERY UNFAIR

mLTHOUGH Pendleton il

record surprising the records
of other larger places such as
Salem and Walla Walla we are
not credited by the state OF by
the federal reserve district peo-
pie while the other towns men,
toned are given posts of hon.
or in their publicity work.
The explanation made is
that the roll is confined to
towns that were listed with
more than 5000 people in 1910.
If that is a true explanation.
which this paper cannot be-
lieve, it is an absurd one.
Such a rule would mean that
a small city responding vigor-
onsly and heavily to war duties
is to be penalized while places
listed with larger populations
are given patriotic honors they
do not earn Pendleton with
75eD people subscribed for ST.
100000 in fourth loan bonds.
We are told that our subscrip-
tions cannot be counted on the
honor roll because our popula-
ton is small. If we had $4,000
people and they had taken the
$1,40O,000 in bonds then all
would be well, presumably.
though all know that such
showing would have been just
one half as good as the show
ing the city did make.
In awarding honors for the
fourth loan subscriptions Pen
dleton has been treated with
gross unfairness. An explana-
ton should be demanded.

CANNOT BLAME THEM

TF, as reported from Paris,
the Belgian delegates to
the peace conference feel
aggrieved because the allot-
ment of commissioners at the
table is no larger than that of
Brazil, we cannot blame them
for their dissatisfaction.
In the matter of the war, at
least, Belgium was one of the
first powers in the world. Her
heroic resistance to the crush
ing tide of the Germans, when
she might, by yielding her in
tegrity, have suffered no dam
age and have been paid into
the bargain, unquestionably
saved the civilized world by
giving France and England a
chance to gether themselves to-
gether.
Brazil very honorably came
into the war and rendered
some aid to the allies, but moth
ing at all in comparison with
Belgium's immortal service.
That she should have as hume
rous a voice in the making OF
peace as do the people of King
Albert seems hardly fair.
And what is said of Belgium
is true to a certain extent o1

the ground that he bossed con-

planning that he should return
