NOT ASKING
 FOR CHARITY, SAYS
 PREMIER MIL.LE:RAND
Asks That U. $. Consider the Service She Has Per-
 formed

Paris, March 15- Premier Mile rand today put aside the German crisis long enough to discuss the re- latons between France and the United States and the condition of international credit.
 He said to the representative of the Associated Press:
 France and the United States must continue the close friendship which always has been maintained between the two countries. No fleet ing misunderstanding must be all lowed to trouble their relations. To that end the sooner misconceptions are dissipated the better
 'Without going into the purely political question, it appears to me an opportune time to recall now to our friend, the United States, that France is not asking for charity. The greater part of money France bor- rowed abroad was spent in the com mon interest of all the civilized | countries a fact which might form the basis of claim for special consideration, but such is not our intention.
 "We don't request cancellation of our debts. We only ask time to | breathe and to recover our strength after four and half years of eXhausting war. Our propositions are those which any debtor would feel right in making in the interest of both himself and his creditor"
 The premier referred to the ruin
 ous fluctuations in the rate of ex- change, which he held would be ag- gravated rather than palliated through measures proposed to France by those not taking sufficient ac- count of interior conditions.
 Cant Pay Rate Now.
 eff France is obliged to meet her obligations abroad at present rates of exchange she would be forced to pay two and half times what she owes," continued the premier, "Thus, after spending for the common good 30 billion francs borrowed from her friends, she would have to pay AS billion francs as Frances premium to these same friends. Of course, l that is not what they mean to re- Guire from us.
 "We have given our blood, we have given our money. To ask us now to give more than double our debt is an anomaly that cannot fail to strike the most impartial judges"
 After mentioning the suggestions made by the United States that France could raise value of the franc by increasing importations, Premier Millerand said that the ques ton appeared to be imperfectly understood by the American people
 "We ask nothing better than in- creased exports. We must first, however, manufacture and we can't make the things for foreign trade until we have factories in which to manufacture them. Do our Ameri- can friends lose sight of the extent of the devastation of the richest part of our territory; do they for get that we are still partly paralyzed and that it will require years to re- cuperate our wasted man power and restore the former flourishing manu- featuring centers.
 "The war cost us 100000 industrial workers, 60O,00O of our buildings were destroyed, regions were entire ly ruined which in 1913 gave us 94 per cent of our wool, 90 per cent o1 linen thread, 90 per cent of oul minerals, 83 per cent of our pig iron, 70 per cent of our sugar ant 4 53 per cent of our coal."s

Luke McLuke Says

LUNG uCGuhC SoJS
 Some things are too good to keep. But that isn't the reason why a woman wants to get rid of her hus- band
 A husband is the last one to want to go home when he is out with some other woman and the first one to want to go home when he is out with his wife.
 The man who is waiting to marry woman who is easily pleased is go- ing to die an old batchelor.
 When woman is wearing a wrap per that covers everything, she is "undressed." But when she is wear ing gown that leaves her torso naked, she is dressed"
 The only reason why a girl is glad that she isn't a man is because if she were man she would be fooled by some other girl.
 If man by chance happens to read one paragraph of the Constitu- tion he feels that it is up to him to argue about the whole document HCiC Wdo q tllllc WIlti every tlIllt you saw red-headed girl, you would see a white horse. But nowadays , every time you see a red-headed girl you see nine fiivvers. ! One nice thing about kissing a girl in the dark is that you do not have to take careful aim. She won't let i you miss the target A woman can sit down and worry over lot of worries she might have l had and didn't.
 There would not be many divoffes if man was as thoughtful of his | wife as he is of his wife's husband You can tell a strong-minded wOln- an by the way it makes her. look and act like man. A woman would rather hire scr. wants and be slave than do her own housework and be her own boss.

THERE IS ONLY ONE SIDE

In another column The Empire contains con- munication from r. w. Harris, crticising "riter in the Popular Mechanics for saying that piratee" have been a menace to fish traps for years MT Harris that there must surely be another sue to this stoy" and then he proceeds to attack the system which permits so many traps ana accuses the trap owners of permitting the traps to operate on Sundays.
 Mr Harris does not present "another side to the story of fish piracy There is absolutely no connec ton between crimes committed by fish pirates ana the status of the relating to fish traps or the question as to whether not, cannerymen violate the law Let us assume that the law is wrong, and that cannerymen guilty of violating the law ana regulations That does justify offer excuse for fish piracy There people who think the law should not allow charging of interest, and there may be people who charge usurious interest. Would any one contend that would justify any one for rob ping bank? Some might think store is prof iteering Would that justify him for breaking into that store and robbng it?
 Most of the experts think the law which requires the traps to close Sundays does not operate to conserve the salmon. Would that justify cannery- men for breaking the law? Of course not.
 If any one knows of any canneryman who is vio- lating law he should with his information to the grand jury the District Attorney, and if a eanneryman is convicted of wilfully breaking the law the punishment should be that the law. breaker would take the pains necessary to see that 1t does again, The cannerymen should be forced to obey the law. The cannerymen cannot dispute this, and The Empire believes that most of them try and do comply with the law. But that is all aside from the question raised by MT. Harris
 There is absolutely no connection between this proposition and that of armed cruising about the robbng fish traps, any other sort of robbery. So far piracy robbery is concerned there is and be only side
