Another Little Revolution
And Some Other Things.

Another little revolution in Germany, this time in
Munich The seizure of German cities by the French prob
ably stimulated this outbreak II is probable that
will be attended to by the German Republic as was the
recent effort Berlin German wormen having had forty
wears of consecutive consistent thinking forced upon
them by the Social Democratic party are not taken by sur
prise others might be.
This new invasion of Germany and seizure Of her most
important cities outside of Berlin by the French interests
this country had gone into the League OF Nations
might be called upon conscpt men, money ana seno tne
abroad to share id war.
Without pretending to Judge the wisdom OF France In
this case fordding Germany to exercise police powers on
German SOIL it is probable that majority OF Americans are
not ready another another conscpton just yet
The French say that Germany has than sixty mil
lions population, rapidly growing which is true. And
France fewer than forty millions not rapidly growing
also true unfortunately
The idea is that the smaller French nation does not
while is able hold down and control the bigger German
nation it will be swept off into the Atlantic Ocean
It all bad business this distance cannot and
should Judge hastily long not dragged into
it except by of Congress- sanctioned by the people
Three thousand miles away, it seems to US that not
much to be gained by storing up hatred and such
Bismarck fooshy accumulated when he took Asace and
Lorraine and five thousand millions of francs
The French also have to consider not merely the sixty
millions in Germany but the two hundred and fifty millions
back of Germany in Russia Germany be made part OF
great Russian Asatc food from the East to sweep over
Western Europe Or Germany if strong republic prevails
from Eastern Europe and Asia Germany naturally sides
with Western Europe, whose civilization is her civilization
Better leave it so.
However, it is not our business We have two good
fences the Atlantic Ocean apd the Pacific Ocean, and should
take stay inside of them until majority of the
American people decide to go outside.
sAn of South and Central America in the League
of Nations" That being true, this is the question:
"what effect will this League of Nations have on the
Monroe Doctrine?
This country has said that no foreign nation must
its holdings physical holdings of couse) this
continent.
A few foreign nations controlling the League of Ma
tons have now increased their MORAL hold this con-
tnent putting all of South and Central America in league
which least SUPPOSED carry out the orders of the
big governing nations.
Uncle Sam might wake up morning to find all his
little nephews in the south and his big British cousin the
north ordered by the League to march against him It's
an interesting possibility with all the of the two Amer
continents united in agreement that does NOT
include the United States and MIGHT include the
United States.
The New York Post owned by partner of J. Pierpont
Morgan weeps bitterly in its leading editorial the
suggestion that bonus be paid to soldiers 1t says "The
American people disposed to be than generous to
the soldiers" That's the beginning The last words
1--WE talk of the moral slump since the armstce There is
striking sign of it than this sudden demand for
bonus-this cashing in of duty done"
That comes nicely from the firm of Perpont Morgan
that made its Millions at every stage of the the firm
that had its huge cash profit wherever put its fingers
It high patriotism for the Morgan gentlemen to
grab every dollar they could ge pilng millions upon mil
lions in profits But it is moral slump for the
who went to Europe and rsked his life to accept
small payment, fraction of the ACTUAL CASH that he
sacrificed by giving up his job and going away.
Morgan Company worry about the bonus to the sol
diers because that firm will be compelled in income tax
pay part Of its gigantic war profit toward the soldiers
bonus.
You understand that Morgan & Company should
feel they do about giving soldiers few dollars But you
would think somebody in the firm would have brains enough
