DEBTS AND EXPORTS.

The one thing sure about German
reparation Is that Germany cannot
pay an indemnity to the allies unless
she pays II. directly or Indirectly, in
goods. That In to say. she cannot
pay unless she can develop a prof.
table export trade. selling more than
she buys. And the allies are in the
absurd position OF trying to keep out
her goods-through a heavy tax on
her exports-and collect billions from
der at the same time.
The one thing sure about repay
ment OF the $4,000. 000. 900 the allies
owe our government and the several
billions more they owe our private
business interests Is that they, like
wise cannot pay US unless they pay
mainly In goods. Their debts were
incurred through buying from us
vastly more than they sold to us. We
have most OF the gold in the world,

AMERICA KICKS
OVER YAP
United States Government With.
holds Consent That Japan In

Paris, Feb. 23.-Thc American note
respecting mandates occupied the
council Of the league Of nations
throughout the day. The note was dis
cusscd in IT,. strictest privacy and the
council decided this evening to issue
only brief summary for publication
The note deals specifically with the
mandate attributed to che emperor Of
Japan over all former German islands
in the Pacific north Of the equator.
and calls attention to the fact that
the United States government has
never given it's consent that the
island Of zap be included in the ter
ritory under Japanese mandate. The
reservation is taken on the ground
that zap has very important bear
ing in the matter Of cable commune
cations and that no power can limit
or control it's USE
The United States declares itself
not bound by the terms Of the man
date and asks that the question be
submitted to a new investigation.
Members Of the council consider it
necessary to confer with their govern
ments regarding the American note

LOANS FOR FARMERS.

Another move to extend financial
aid to farmers was made when the
senate passed an appropriation rider
authorizing the secretary of the treas
ury to purchase 800. 900, 900 of Fed
eral Farm Loan bonds to provide
credit for farmers pending the de-
cision Of the supreme court as to the
constitutionality OF the farm loan
law. IL the house approves the
measure this should provide prompt
relief In the farm situation.
Opponents OF the bill in the senate
point to an already overstrained
treasury. but there are perhaps other
drains upon that famous institution
less worthy and sound than farm
loans. The measure is said to be ap-
proved by the Farm Loan Board.
Senator Glass OF Virginia, one of
the sponsors OF the measure, critics.
ed the Supreme Court for holding de-
cision in the farm loan case over for
fourteen months. He said that the
Farm Loan Board had approved loans
amounting to $4,000. 900 which il
could not make because of the un-
settled litigation. Had the validity of
the law been established. this sum
would have gone far toward pre-.
venting the present agricultural cri-
sis.
The history of the farm loan under
the disputed law was interesting and
indicative OF the thrift and integrity
Of the American farmer. The loans
In every section were paid promptly
and even In advance. putting the farm

cial propositions and the farmer high

A YEAR OF THE LEAGUE.

In this season of anniversaries it
may not be amiss to pause and note
that the League Of Nations has re-
Gently passed its first anniversary.
Without indulging in any prophecy
as to it's future vitality and possible
longevity, IL Is possible to look with
interest upon its brief history of
year.
1t now has an established home at
Geneva. Switzerland. and a perma-
nent secretariat. It's council has met
and plans to meet every six weeks
Forty-seven nations are represented
In its assembly. There. is a budget
for the coming year of 21,25O,OOO gold
francs.
a court Of international justice and
an international credit commission
have been established by the League.
Its financial experts have formulated
economic and financial policies which
have been helpful in aiding recon-
struction work in some of the war;
ravaged countries. 1t is seeking.
through authorized military, naval,
air and civilian experts. for the sanest
and speodiest way toward reduction
OF armaments. Its ~ mem Der nations
have been asked to refrain voluntar-
lily from exceeding their current mil
itary budgets within the next two
years.
The League has settled two inter-
national disputes and arranged for
plebiscites in territory claimed by con-
dieting powers. 1t has put into op-
Grafton few mandates and is seek
Ing the right way to handle others.
Possibly the humanitarian work
or the League of Nations would be
more impressive to persons who are
skeptica( OF the possibility of it's ever
meeting successfully economic and
governmental problems. Over 100 600
prisoners of war were repatriated
through the Leagues efforts. and SUI
pervision of the suppression of the
opium traffic in China has been taken
| over BY it from the Netherlands gov
crnment. Many other activities could
be cited to show the wide and bene-
! fetal scope of the WORK such an or
ganiZation may accomplish.
There is much hope to be derived
from contemplation of this record
1t matters little. perhaps, whether the
League continues with it's present or
ganization or whether il serves as tn,
basis for the development, OF a bet
ter association. The power for good
or a union of all the nations of the
world seeking justice for all and the
elimination Of distrust and grudges
and warfare, has been sufficiently
demonstrated to guarantee that the
progress made by the existing League
shall not be permanently lost.

WAS ONLY COMIC OPERA WAR
Americans Experienced Odd Pro-
visions When Joining Spanish
A.. Legion Against Moors. -.

II was just comic opern war any
how, according to 50 Young Americans
who have returned to New York from
whence they sailed two months ago
to join the Spanish Foreign Legion
for service against the Moors. The
would-be Foreign Lcgionnaires were
represented In numbers among ex-serv-
ice men applying to the American Le-
gion employment bureau for ANY kind
of work. 10y
After enlistment in New York, the
recruits, almost all of whom had
served overseas with the American
army, were sent to Ceuta, Africa.
There they were informed for the first
time that out Of their pay Of Ala
pesetas a day (about 50 ceiits) they
must buy their own uniform, food,
even arms and ammunition.
ut was the funniest war you ever
saw" declared George Dimond OF
Brooklyn, who explained that the hard
er you fought the more it would cost
you for ammunition. If a man fought
very hard liz. would soon be deeply in
debt TO the Spanish government. If,
on the other hand, he conserved am
munition and tried TO save money, he
stood excellent chances Of being
picked Off by Moor. Besides all
that, the Americans, who thought they
were to be officers. were assured that
they were welcomed only as privates.
