France has a population approzi-

When our industries wanted money

safety we could depend on and which
would pay US a good rate Of interest.
Why do we not ali get busy and do

You know that all of us have been
spending our money very freely
thinking, IN true American style, that
nothing is too good for us and that
something good will always turn up,
even il we do strike a snag In
business.
Down deep in our boots We know
now that we have been very foolish
in not laying by some Of the money

things get going again, will start to

FRENCH PEOPLE, IN
SPITE OF WARS HAVOC.
HAVE MONEY TO INVEST.

Daniel T. Pierce, 81 Broadway,
special adviser to business institutions
wrote to me March 8 calling my at
tention to the extent the French peO-
pie are investors.
He cites in his letter these remark
able factsi
Between 1918 and l91S-that il,
while France was fighting for OK,

government, departmental and city
loans and 60 private business enter
Prises more than 100 billion francs.
(This 10 equal in our money, based
on the normal exchange Of $O.I93 per
franc, to the sum of 10 billion 500
million dollArS-)
Last year, after the exhaustion Of
the war, France put Sc billion francs
into investments.
Every French family, however
poor, has something invested in
bond, and moreover, il stage
invested.
THE Frenehman does no4 save 10

thing. he keeps it in reserve"
You will agree that Henry L.
Doherty & Co., 90 Wall St., are
broad-Visioned and patriotic in urging
us to be thrifty and to become in
vestors in the country's best securi-
ties. They predicted long ago that
this country will never be in as good
a position as it should be until all
workers learn to hold on to some of
their money and TO invest il.
They would like to see every
worker become an investor In safe
securities and to hold on to the Sc
curities after getting them. They do
not want workers to speculate; they
want them TO put their money where
both principal and interest will be
protected.
If you will write 10 or call on
this house you viii be honestly adj
vised as TO safe investments and
you will be given a chance to buy
good securities in denominations Of
$40 and upwards. This permits all
workers, no matter how little or how
much they can lay by, to own bonds
or other securities-as the French
people do. Sincerely yours,

IRISH DIVISION.

The chief enemy Of Ireland, af-
ter all, is Ireland. Ireland can get
from Great Britain virtually what
it wants, if it can only agree as to
what it wants. 1t seems as far
from agreement as ever.
Ulster threatens civil war if set
tlement with Sim Fein Ireland
leads to any diminution Of the
rights and privileges of the newly
established parliamentary govern
ment in Ulster, Sim Fein threatens
war with Great Britain if it's terms
are not met in, the present negotia-
tions, and that would mean civil
war in Ireland.
There ought to have been two
islands, and two Irelands. AS mat
ters stand, there are two Irelands
spiritually. but one geographically
and economically. Though they
We're cut in two by cataclysm of
nature or the building of great
wall or canal, each would remain
indust-ially and commercially in
complete without the other. Ulster,
the greater center of business and
industry, needs the materials and
markets Of South Ireland. South
ireland needs Ulster, its business
capital. Yet the two are still pull
ing apart, at time when, more
than ever before in history, the sit
uation demands their pulling to-
gether.
How can the Irish problem be
solved until Irishmen learn COM
promise and tolerance, for mutual
benefit if not from a spirit Of fra
ternalism?

RUSSIAN SECRECY.

The refusal of Lenine to allow
the allied official committee to in
vestigate conditions in Russia pre-
liminary to famine relief has acted
as a serious check upon European
efforts, just as had been. feared.
When Lenine refused to allow
this commission to enter Russia he
balanced food for the starving
against his own vainglory, and de-
liberately chose the: latter. 1t
should leave 40 doubt in any sane
mind that the man is a lover Of
power and not of his fellow-men.
If his scheme of government is
practical, he need have no fear Of
any Investigation even by, hostile
agencies. If it is not, and still he
is the champion Of the poor and
oppressed that he has posed as be-
ing. he would surrender any per-
ssonal ambition 4in order THAT his
people might be fed.
On the, other hand, the allied
governments: might better have
gone ahead on "a non-political ba-
sis, like the American relief COM
mission, and given aid promptly
just because it was so desperately
needed, trusting to time and con-
tact to reveal the truth.
AS matter of-fact, Lerine's ef-
forts at eoncealments are futile. The
truth is beginning to sift out as re-
lief sits in, and the straits to
which Lenine and his associates
have reduced Russia are becoming
glaringly apparent.4As time reveals
these conditions more fully, so
time. Will provide, the remedy, not
only for the famine-stricken prov
.inees but for the governmental fall
}acies. The pity is that many an
innocent Russian must. die of hung
.er before the truth has made all
Russia free. -.

LOCAL GOVERNMENT.

Writing to the conference Of
town and county administration at
o4ha University Of North Carolina,
Harding remarks:
There has been an inevitable

sywhelmingly important work which

ment. to rely unduly upon it for
the performance of many func-
stions which can only be discharged
spreperly by local administrative
entities
The tendency has long been not
.ed, and has grown rather than di-
Hadisshed with the increasing bur-
.dens OF the federal government.
sThe very fact that the work at
Washington has become so cover
: &helmingly important" in these
war and reconstruction years is
stronger reason than ever why
scities and states should do their
best to take care Of their own af-
fairs, instead of trying to pass the
luck. to Uncle Sam.
80, It may be observed, too, that To-
cal communities are usually better
able to handle their problems than
the national government is to do
it fer them, in spite of the fact
that Washington has great re-
sources OF money and talent to
draw upon, and federal efficiency
at its best is very high. Local in
,terest, local knowledge and local
talent are usually capable Of meet
ing local situations, if the citizens
only think so. And by facing local
sdiGieuities and overcoming them,
: local citizenship-which is really
the, only citizenship there is-grows
and strengthens.
Local government IS the strong
hold of democracy. Federal gov
eminent itself would break down
eventually if it were not fed con-
ffSnally from a thousand local
springs of good citizenship and ad-
administrative efficiency.

.Shantung, as she has promised to
do, but China meticulous1y refuses
to accept the4province at her hands,
insisting that Japan has no legiti-
mate title.
The Chinese position is under
standable and eXcusable, but none
the less unfortunate Germany had
a legal title to Shantung, regardless
of the co-ercive methods by which
she obtained it. That title passed
to Japan by conquest and the
authority Of the Versailles peace
conference, with Germany's con-
sent. Japan's title, therefore
seems technically legal, whatever
the moral aspect Of it may be.
The obvious thing to do, from
the American standpoint, is for
China to swallow her pride and
make the best of the situation,
merely driving the best bargain she
can in the negotiations leading to
Standings restoration. The Wash
ington administration will doubt
less support her claims as far as
possible, if she agrees to this rea-
sonable procedure.
China should understand that
she is not likely to get Shantung
back at all by any other course,
now or in the near future. The
Washington conference, into which
she wants to precipitate the dis
,pute, will have no authority to dis
pose of it. Eventually the League
of Nations may take up the case,
but China has more to expect from
prompt and direct settlement with
Japan.
