All through the war Serbia had to

of wheat are so great that she could
return her wartime favors by feeding

been among her greatest. A pound
loaf of bread in any part of the king

bread that during the war-trying
years held the nation together. is now
only a memory. White bread and

poorest.
The little Slav state has made a
truly remarkable recovery from the
war. Everywhere one sees great
abundance in all the necessaries of

people and d definite effort at recon-
structing the country.
The country's marvellous rehabilita-
tion may be set down as due princi-
pally to the industry, common sense
and determination of her thrifty men
and women; secondly, to the absence
of bolshevism: thirdly, to the immense
moral impetus given the population
by America and other generous
neighborS in the days when the coun-
try was destitute and tottering.
The aid given by such organizations
as the American Relief Commission
was especially timely and effective.

War for Self-Interresstt r /
he Editor of The Tribune

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Is it not amazing that any man
or any newspaper can deny Ambassad or
harvey's statement that this country
went to war for self-interest? On what
ground could the government say to
citizen: "You must leave your busi-
ness, your wife and children, and 90
across the sea and risk limbs and life"
in Il great conflict except that the de-
fease of the nation and of our free in
ssitutions demanded it?
Taxes are levied and must be paid
that resources may be available for
public benefits which all share, but
contributions to the Red Cross or to the
Salvation Army are matter of liber-
ality, not of compulsion. For idealism
or altruism one might volunteer mis-
services and sympatheticA country
might bid him Godspeed, but American
liberty forbids compulsion with all at
tendant perils unless the welfare Of
the nation is at stake. And it might be
added, on what ground could the nation
be saddled with a debt of twenty bill
lions or more but for national interest,
necessity? JOHN K. JONES.
iMetuchen, N. j., June 8, 1921.

Foundation Of World Peace

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Mr.. McAdoo in his Memorial
Day speech is in error in stating that
the overshadowing problem of to-day
is world peace and Mr.. Harvey is
equally in error in stating that it will
be grounded on patriotism.
There will be no world peace that is
grounded on any other thing than
world righteousness, and no other per-
manent peace than that which flows
out of such condition.
There has of late been considerable
talk Of "beating swords into plow-
shares and spears into pruning hooks"
by persons who seem to ignore the
