$50 far as Great Britain is concerned, any at
tempt to transfer further British troops to Russia
will be resented fercely by our people We have
had more than four and one-half years of war, and
our soldiers did not enlist for the purpose of polio
= ing Russia
If that is how England feels with Russia and Bolshe-
vsm near how do Senators suppose the people of the
United States feel especially mothers and fathers of SOL
diers that are kept in Russia?
Northclie says the English did not enlist to police
Russia Americans did not enter the army to police Rus
sa either But as Lord Northce has truly said Amer
leans very docle people" e.
Mr. Fess who speaks with authority in Congress- says
that the money lent the allies in turn put out at
interest by them and they received higher rate of inter
est than this country charged them they made little
profit when they hard up nobody will grudge it.
But perhaps is time for somebody in the United States
TO realize that the hundreds of millions and thousands of
millions eeten up by proteerng grafters distributed to
anybody that wanted to borrow have got to be taken out
of the people of the United States in and in bond
loans in the end
To pay little attention United States billions would
seem wise, that member of the Ways and Means
Committee tells Congressman Smell Of New York that with
all heavy taxes the country this year will fall ten bill
lions short of what it needs
There must be SOME limit even to United States
sources and good nature
The President has asked Congress for hundred mil
lions to feed the hungry in Europe and the nation appauds
We afford that at least It is something in the his
tory of nations First lend thousands of millions help
our friends win their fight then discuss the advsaby
refusing accept repayment those huge loans then send
hundred millions present to feed the starving, in
cuding our enemies It sounds like the millennium.

the bucket regards taxation here which is the
billion scale The million has become small change
And that sum will be drop in the bucket also as
regards feeding the hungry in Europe There at least
two hundred millions in need of food and they could
day the hundred millions that send them and not be
overfed, at prices.
The question is How they to eat, when little
gift and any other sums contributed are gone?
To realize how the people of the world must depend
their effort reflect that hundred millions day would
not begin to feed the needy Of Europe east of France
Italy and England. And this country could hardly
supply hundred millions day-which would be thirty six
billions year.
England has resolved it is reported to suppress the
snn Fein by violence necessary An interesting resou
on for according to the recent election would mean
uppressng seventyfve per cent of the people Ireland
If is impossible to indict whole people it should
be difficult to suppress sevenyfve per cent of people
especially when the people live close to you.
= At distance you can do such things, public opinion
doesn't know much about it. Close at home it is more
painful
Lloyd George, the wise Celt will probably find some
way of celebrating peace and the armistice better than
starting new little war in Ireland.
And it might not be such LITTLE war.
The Duchess of Luxembourg girl of twenty was
called upon to rule hard working and women edu
Gated teachers the whole people of her duchy republican
movement put her of her throne The republican move
dies out and she back the throne again for the
moment
Could anything be more preposterous than girl of
twenty through accident of brth-or boy of twenty
for that matter-being made ruler of people in this
eountry?s
= Yes something more preposterous COULD be imag-
