RETURNING THE CALL

Nearly three hundred years ago a
small band of Puritans gathered at
Plymouth and set out for America, the
land of freedom. They came in the
Mayflower and landed in Massachu-
setts at a place they named Plymouth
Rock
Today young America has answered
the call of her ancestors and returned
to Plymouth Rock, England. But the
return trip on the fast seaplane NC-4
was quite different from the trip of
the Mayfower in 1920. Each. how
ever. seemed to the people of its time
a wonderful feat
The landing of the Mayflower saw
the dawn of a day of new and better
things. The landing of the NC-4, a
feat of peaceful times, may also usher
in a new day of achievements and
progress.

navy be abandoned, there is carried
the inference or belief that the League
of Nations is certain of ratification by
the United States Senate.
The abandonment of this program
will mean a net saving of $500, ,O00, 900
to the United States. To continue
with the ship building will place the
armament of the United States above
the limit provided for in the covenant
of the League of Nations. The war
has taught US that a ship built now
may become out of date and wholly
unfit to combat with an enemy ship
built a few years later in an i'm
proved style.
The wiset thing Congress can do
now is to abandon the building pro-
gram or at least mark time until the
fate of the League of Nations is de-
termined.
The navy, often called the first line
of defense, will never be entirely dis
pensed with. Even with the League
in effect, the United States is likely
to maintain as large a navy as will be
allowed under the provisions of the
League. Public sentiment will de-
mand that and those who lack conf
dence in the League will be better
satisfied.
Let us cease all preparations for fu-
ture wars until we learn the late of
the League of Nations.

THE GERMAN REPLY

The keynote of the German answer
to the peace terms is Germany's in
ability to meet the requirements ex-
cept by the practical enslavement of
her peoples. The treaty, the Germans
say, is one of victorious violence" /"
and they continue with the statement
that "the more deeply we penetrate
into the spirit of this treaty, the more
convinced We are of the impossibility
of carrying it out. The executions of
this treaty are more than the German
people can bear"
The territorial settlements provided
in the treaty for the freeing of Pohnd
and the surrender of Upper Silesia
and the Saar Valley are criticized by
the Germans, who say that the peO-
pies of these regions are of German
sympathy and do not favor separation
from the old empire
The reparations section of the
treaty is vigorously condemned by the
Germans, who see in its elasticity an
opportunity for the Allies to enslave
the German people The limit of the
burdens that may be imposed upon
the German laborer, the Germans say,
is fixed only by his ability.
Germany offers to give up even the
warships which the Allies have left
in her hands as a premium for admis-
sion into the League of Nations
Germany also offers a number of
minor concessions with regard to
damages done to the commerce and in
dustries of the Allies.
Germany comedies the freedom of
Alsace-LOrraine, the clearly Danish |
portions of Schleswig- -Holstein, and |
some other portions of her territory,
bot asks that their future sovereignty
by fixed by plebiscites instead of by
the Allies.

june!

June" someone says, and how the
mind jumps to a thousand things:
June bugs, June brides, June roses
the old swimming hole, and the cool
place under the willows where one
sits for hours waiting with the proven
bial patience of Job for a nibble.
June means picnics out in the deep
shade of the woods, where the chill
dren can take off their shoes and wade
in the cold clear little stream and
mother and father grow ten years
younger just resting and watching
them.
1t is the month of barefoot boys,
mosquitoes and witch-hazel and. oh,
what scads of scraps from doll dress
making and paper dolls for mother
to clean up More than once she has
sighed and said to herself that she
will be relieved when school begins
again.
June is the month of organdy dress
es and big fioppy hats, and before the
end of the month, perhaps in a spirit
of rivalry. out blossom palm beaches
and gay eolOred ties.
Who but blind man could be bored
in the month of June, with its millions
of flowers and bugs, its sunshine and
its shade? And even he who cannot
see must feel and gain new hope from
the air vibrant with life.

OUR "FRIRNDr CARRANZA

The United States has never been
able to win the friendship of Carranza.
Though We recognized his govern
ment at a time when that meant vic
tory for him and his followers, Car
rama has never warmed up to the
United States. He has seemed to car
~ chip on his shoulder all the while.
True, he has kept fairly good order
in Mexico for several years after a
period of much blOOdshed and revolu-
ton. That was accomplished by the
aid of the United States in placing an
over the border That embargo has
been pretty strictly enforced. and
without firearms and ammunition a
revolution cannot gather enough mo-
mentum to take on a threatening as
pect.
The United States has done more
for Carranza than Carranza ever ex-
poets to do for the United States.
The gathering clouds of revolution
in Mexican skies are again appearing.
Carranza has had ample time to make
up to Mexico's big sister nation on
tn, north. and he has no. made IGuch
attempt to establish friendly relations.
If another revolution were to threaten
the Carranza rule. the United States
could hardly be expected to 90 more
for Carranza than to keep hands off.
