American Obligations to Europe.

X Loucheur, formerly minister of munitions,
N IN debate few days ago in the French
chamber of deputies accused America
ahd England of responsibility for the present econo-
nemc situation of the world through their failure
TO extend Treasury credits after the war to various
nations for the purpose of rehabilitation.
Mr.. Loucheur indeed is merely re-echoing the
repeated demands of himself and the French officials
made during the Peace Conference that the United
States should continue the taxation of its people
Tor the purpose of arranging commercial credits to
merchants and individuals in France with which
to reconstruct and build up their business
In his haste to place the responsibility for the
present distressing situation Mr.. Loucheur omits
ehtirely to mention that the storms upon the eco
nomc horizon which initiate against rehabilitation
were raised by French officials. Among the things
which Mr.. Loucheur overlooked are these:
Fnst-The failure of the French people to agree
to hxed indemnity for Germany. This failure has
kept the Germans from re-establishing their former
Productivity. 1t has kept Europe face to face with
the imminent danger of chaos through the bank
ruptcy OF Germany. 1t has so endangered all
monetary investment to prevent the more
eficient process OF doing business
. Second-The French insstence on the political
ispation OF Austria, which has created another cess
pool OF danger to the whole OF Europe and has
turther blocked the flow of capital toward Europe
Third-The backing given by the French to
imperialism in Poland, which has diverted the
energies OF the Poles from rehabilitation and has
created another menace to European peace
. Fourth-The constant effort OF French diplomacy
to erect among the states OF Eastern Europe all-
anees which like all military alliances lead ultimately
TO war-a consideration which does not encourage
the investment of capital.
Fhth-The support given by the French to mil
itary adventures against Soviet Russia which have
resulted only in fixing more firmly on that country
the lamentable travesty OF government that op-
presses it.
SHth-Ihe increase by France itself in the issue
or paper money from some 35,oooooo,ooo at the
time of the armistice is nearly $4,000 900 now.
which makes any notion of supporting the relative
value OF the franc and the dollar a joke.
One could enumerate other elements in the situa.
tlon which Mr.. Loucheur has overlooked but these
may be sufficient to indicate why the American tax
payer is not inclined to give to Europe a blank
check on the American Treasury
AS matter of fact, when all is said and done if
the politicians will give them a chance, the pro-
cesses OF business will effect the rehabilitation of
Europe; but if this chance is denied all the treas
uries on earth will never accomplish this result

Liaison Agencies.

Mr.. Harding has confirmed his campaign
pledge to make the Vice President a member of
his Cabinet. He and Mr.. Coolidge have reached
working agreement to this and a mutual under
standing of the details
1t will be a marked innovation and. most de-
sirable. 1t will give the personal contact of the
President and Senate which is not provided by the
Constitution. The lack of it has often led to mis-
understanding and even hostility.
The President cannot go to the Senate He
can meet Senators individually in groups as COM
mittees But he has direct means of contact
with them as body, and adequate means of
making himself understood or to smooth an
tagonsms.
This has been of the weaknesses of our
form OF irresponsible, responsible government In
other countries the Chief Executive is either in
nocuous, or reaches the legislative branch directly
through responsible ministry.
The Vice President as member OF the Cabinet
will not wholly fill the breech but will help Some
what of. the liaison will be formed between
the President and the House through the budget
laws permanent organization and the Committee
on Appropriations
These two agencies will do much to change the
present isolation OF the President to break the
barriers between him and Congress and so add to
harmony of action and good under standing as to
facilitate legislation

Americans will also remember the tales Of ont

cannot be done with sweetness and light. Until
alter these people understand authority and appre

But the Marines should not rest upon 4 mere
statement OF the court of inquiry giving them 4
clean BILL The charge made by general Off
Ger OF the army. 1t was not made by civilian
nor by Haytian.
1t will not be convincing to have charge met
by statement, let alone by an attack upon the off;
Ger who made the charge, and was in position to
know the facts. The Marines should make public
all the testimony, just what was done and why.
They are not before harsh Judges They can
depend on the sympathetic attitude of the American
people, They can afford to trust to that Judgment
they can not afford any appearance of concealine
evidence.

Mr.. Wilson a Wa.hingtonian.


Washington is very much gratihed that ,Presi-

That was we'll enough during the war; But it
Is impossible now when balance of trade has
reached enormous proportions, and Europe has
nothing with which to pay this balance except
with her printing presses.
1t is essential now, as Mr. Hoover saws,
that the United States should turn to investment

Europe did to this country in our earlier years
when our trade balance was adverse and ND to

Neptune is an aspect that is held

Mercury seems to presage a brief
period of slackening in publishing
and indifference to authors, but this
is not serious, the seers declare.
Again theaters are subject to the
most profitable direction of the
stars. Growth of public interest in
plays will be very great in the COM

While there will be something
like a return to the theater as the
principal amusement interest, there
will be no diminution of patronage

Again new managers and many
changes in the business direction of
