So Say They All.

ENERAL THOMPSON of the
| = British army has just return
- ed to London from a tour of
investigation in Russia. He says:
II knew Russia well under
the old regime, and I have no
hesitation in saying that the
population as a rule is happier
under the present government.
In the old days, 30 per cent of
the population lived at the ex-
pense of the remaining 70 per
cent. .. ...
"The need of Europe is
strong Russia, sympathetically
inclined toward the western
nations. At present, the tend
ency is to drive her into an
alliance with Turkey. That
should be prevented as most
serious menace to the peace of
Europe" ,r..
1t may be said that General
Thompson's observations concern
ing Russia are the observations of
nearly every intelligent, disinterest-
ed man capable of observing, who
has had an opportunity to observe,
and dares to tell the truth.
In the years to come, the world
will be amazed when it sees the
record and the success of the lying
propaganda which has been poured
forth into the ears Of credulous
humanity concerning the Russian
people and the Russian Government
during tho last four years.

sentimental gush is given so much promi-

in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer of October
8, the tale of woe of thief who stole to
give his wife and child pleasure Truly a
noble and dignified purpose-one that, in
your estimation, justifies any action.
A man, whose first duty toward his child
is to instil principles of honor truth, cour-

inability to give them what other children
have-or his wife the foolish trappings that
all snobs desire and will sell their souls for,

weak, sloppy plea that he could not give

BOttLed-U Up
Memories
7 a recent meeting of scientists
in Edinburgh, much interest

was aroused by the discus
sion on the practical uses of psy-
chology in the cure of disease.
This is not revival of the old
superstitions in which wizards were
supposed to control matter by magic
means, nor is it any sort of fad. On
the contrary, the use Of mind for
the prevention and cure of disease
rests upon the facts OF experience
and of proof, quite as solid as the
use of drugs.
One of the scientists referred to
what he called "bottled-up mem
ories or emotions" some Of which,
he suggested, might date from days
before the child speaks.
The theory he presented was that
when a person is engaged in a
mental conflict the mind is weaken
ed and all sorts of weakening sug
gestions rise up from the subcon-
sciousness and these bad auto-sug-
gestions result in very marked
symptoms.
One case was reported of girl
of nineteen who had lost the use of
her legs for no apparent reason. The
doctor asked the girl whether she
was engaged. She wept and told
him she had been forced by the
man s unworthiness to break off the
engagement, but she could not re-
strain her own affectionate thoughts
of him.
This was the first time she had
told of her affair and the very tell
ing of it brought about an almost
immediate cure Of several severe
physical symptoms. One Of the best
remedies for many suffering people
is confession. That is to say, the
frank and full telling Of all their
repressed emotions and desires to
some sympathetic person.
One physician went so far as to
say that many paralyzed people
would be walking about II they had
told their troubles earlier.
One of the chief tasks of the in
telligent and scientific psychic heal
er is to help the patient to review
the past; perhaps some forgotten
hate, or perverse love toward faith
er, mother, or other individual, and
to help him fix his mind upon it,
and, so to speak, bring it out into
the light and air.
Much of the value Of psyche
which we must grasp by, our intelli-
lectualize the mind of the patient.
That is to say, many of our morbid
conditions are due to the dominance
of bottled-up memories and desires
which we must grasp by our intelli-
gence and subject to reason.

The March
of EUentS
THE Italians do not like the
French, to put it very mildly,


their sentiment when anything
French is seen in Italy. The French
military mission, sent to join the
ceremonies in honor of Italy's dead
soldiers, was hooted and jeered in
Venice and had to be protected by
police and soldiers. Everything
French is anathema all over Italy,
at present.
Naturally, this has aroused the
French, and now they are clamoring
in Paris for boycott OF everything
Italian, beginning with italian
banks and businesses and including
Italians employed by French houses.
The growing bitterness between
the two principal Latin people does
not cheer those who still hope that
Europe will have long period Of
peace.
Practically no news comes from
Anatolia, from which it may be sur
missed that the Powers are exerting
persuasion and threats to bring
about an end of the war. 1t cannot
come too soon, for the Turks have
undoubtedly had the best of it, and
further Turkish victories would
start another Balkan war, if the
victors pressed their advantage too
far.
The war in Anatolia was one of
King Constantine bad inheritances
and was practically certain to be a
failure from the beginning. Whether
the Greek King can retain his pop
ularity after this costly failure re-
mains to be seen.
The French Communists will GER
tainly not aid Sacco and Vanzetti
by murderously attacking our Am
bassador and consuls.
An examination Of their trials
and the sources and character of the
ievidence leaves an impartial mind
iopen to grave doubt of these two
convicted mems guilt, and number
of Americans have been exerting
themselves to obtain pardons for
lboth.
But these efforts are found to be
lfruitless if the French Communists
keep up their senseless attempts
ITO kill American representatives
abroad.
That is the surest way in the
world to seal the fates of Sacco and
Vanzetti, whether they are guilty or
mot.
Strenuous efforts are being made
to have the two hostile. Chinese
Governments present a united front
at the Washington conference.
The Pekin Government is merely
tool of Japan. The Canton Gov
ernment represents what is left of
the Chinese Republican Congress.
The Pekin Government is anti
American. The Canton Govern
ment is pro-American. For some
reason not apparent to plain Amer
ican minds, the anti-American and
.Japanese-owned Government at
Pekin has been invited to attend
the Washington conference, while
the pro-American and anti-Japanese
Government at Canton has been left
to cool its heels outside the door.
The American Relief Commission
in Russia is rapidly undoing much
of the mischief wrought by the
sorry policies which cut off COM
munication between Russia and the
United States for so long time.
