What Does Dignity Cost?

rROM time to time complaints
are made that our ambassadors
in foreign lands are not housed
as magnificently as the representa-
tives of other countries.
1t is now reported that Ambassa-
dor Herrick is compelled to receive
the ceremonial visits of the Italians,
the japanese and the Belgian am
bassadors in his work room at the
Paris Chancellery.
Let us hope that Mr.. Herrick,
who is an able workman, has the
good sense not to be embarrassed.
The Paris embassies of Belgium
and Italy and England and many
other countries are gorgeous palaces
supported by the people of those
countries. Most of those countries
are hard pressed for money, and the
maintenance of these gilded head
quarters is an added burden to their
taxpayers. In spite of the millions
that were expended in housing all
these ambassadors in luxury for
many years, those same ambassa-
doris failed to prevent the World
War.
If our ambassadors in Europe
keep us out of trouble very few of
our 1O5,00O,0OO Americans will care
whether they transact their business
in a palace or at corner grocery
store.
An able man does not need
golden chandelier or tapestried
wall to give him dignity.
Benjamin Franklin, ablest of
early American ambassadors, wore
shabby clothes.
As for European countries that
cannot pay US what they owe, hous-
ing their ambassadors in palatial
splendor and paying them 100000
year to give them dignity-it
makes us smile.

whether this steadily increasing debt shall in the
end be paid by the United States whether it shall ut
matey be met by Germany addition to her otherwise
crushing Indebtedness it is folly to let it go
lang
1t is quite true that the berth is considered peculiarly
soft by American officers and that the War Depart
ment is overwhelmed with applications for this foreign
service.
1t is true Also that the demeanor, and incidentally the
expenditures of soldiers at Cobenz make them very
popular with the inhabitants.
But neither of these facts uses the continued ree-
ton of troops in field where there is no war nor
danger of renewed hostilities.

No Money,
No Buying
THE other day man took a
yary ,por;torions pronosition to.

very meritorious proposition to-
banking and brokerage firm.
He wanted hundred thousand dol
lars to finance the enterprise, which
would earn good dividends on twice
that amount. The banker said:
under any normal conditions it
would be easy to find the money.
But tho surtaxes and excess taxes
have so discouraged tho mon who
used to put money into building
up new enterprises that they are
now putting all their money into
tax-exempt securities and haven't
q dollar to help new industries get
going"
The banker told the truth, and
in telling it he told the real rea-
son why so many persons are out
of work and why business is so
dull generally.
No money to finance industries
means no money to buy the ma
terials and pay wages, and that
means no money to buy retail goods.
Tax-exempt securities are State
and municipal and county bonds,
mostly, and the money put in them
doesn't start anything or add to
production and labor
Now, then, if these destructive
taxes, which drive money to hide
itself in non-producing tax-exempt
securities, were replaced in part or
in whole with direct sales taxes,
there would be plenty of money for
development of production and
trade.
Men would be going back to
work; then they would have money
to buy goods; then the retail stores
would do better business; then
the wholesalers and manufacturers
would follow suit-and good times
would be back home again.
Talk about the sales tax decreas-
ing buying!
The sales tax would increase buy
ing so fast that the country would
be over its financial difficulty
quicker than a wink.

home; that they are as friendly
with the Germans as two bugs in a
rug; that officers and men are
counting and marrying German
girls; that they find the German
people hospitable, kindly and full OF
good qualities.
The odd thing is that the papers
which are printing the encomiums
of Germans as RESPONSIBILITY our
troops should be kept over there are
the same papers which printed the
most falsehoods about German
cruelty, hatefulness and innate de-
pravity in order to stir up war fever
among Americans.
When the object was to have
American troops sent over the Ger
mans were Huns, barbarians, child
killers and abominable savages
without single good quality and
with all the bad qualities.
When the object is to have Ameri-
can troops kept over there the Ger
mans are suddenly converted into
the most amiable and delightful
people imaginable.
Speaking of "Huns" and their
atrocities, it is strange that nobody
has produced any photographs or
attestations of the awful tortures
and mutilations we heard so much
about while Belgium was occupied
by Germans instead of by the
victors.
As some Americans were unpatri-
otto enough not to believe the
stories of these atrocities, their dis
belief and disloyalty ought to be
put to shame by producing proofs
of the atrocities. Belgium is open
to all the world now, and if only
part of the horrifying tales told
were true there should be dozens
Of handless children and mutilated
women to be photographed.
1t is one Of the mysteries Of the
war that all talk about the devasta-
ton of Belgium and the horrible
tortures inflicted upon the Belgians
ceased the moment correspondents
and others were free to travel all
over Belgium and see what had oc-
Cured during the occupation of the
little country by the uncivilized
,hordes from the savage wilds of
Germany.
A silence so sudden and so unani-
nous is little short of being won
derful.
The New York Globe says that
what the world needs in dealing
with Russia "is not more lies or
more wars, but more humanitarian
ISM"
What most American papers need
is more accurate information. The
trouble with most of them is that
they know so much about Russia
which is NOT so.
No wonder that one Russian
Soviet official-a man of remarkable
MISUNDERSTANDING asked an
American acquaintance if American
editors were forbidden to study his
