Las predicciones
del senior Keynes

en- seis 7,S50.000 900, a1n no Sc sabe
con certeza, pues esta di.erencia depende
de que Sc excluya incluya la suma de
un billion pagaderos, segtn ell Tratado,
antes del prinero de mayo.
Cuando el Tratado sehaIaba ell impor
te de las entregas en- especie, que debfa
verifcar Alemania antes de esa fecha.
en- un billion de Hbras, el sefior Keynes
manifesto la imposibilidad ecin6mica
en- que Sc hallaba Alemania de hacerlo.
g indic6 la de 330.00OOO0 a 100000. 900
como maximum de su capacidad La Co
mission de Reparaciones viene ahora,
despu6s de hecho el balance, demostrar
que Alemania solo ha pagado por valor
de cuatrocientos millones.
En- mil novecientos diez nueve, afr
maba Ell sefior Keynes que La produc-
ci6n alemana de carbon brute, con ex-
clusi6n de la Alta Silesia del consume
de las minas, bajaria, por 10 menos, en-
las condolences presentes, a Glen milo
mes de toneladas. Las cifras correspon-
dientes de mil novecientos veinte le
han dado tambien, exactamente, la ra-
z6n.
Respecto al plebiscito de Alta Silesia,
ell senior Keynes no Sc aventuraba a pre-
decir el resultado, "cosa que requeri-
ria grandes conocimientos locales, pc
70 apuntaba las desastrosas consecuen-
cias que podria tener 81 Sc resolvia en-
contra de Alemania, y afiadfa que las
autoridades alemanas afirmaban, no sin
contradiction, que un. tercio de la pobla-
ci6n estaba con Polonia y los otros dos
con Alemania'' Como Sc ha podido yer,
estas autoridades estaban en- 10 cierto,
y la cita, muy disputada entonces, del
sefior Keynes era absolutamente correc-
ia.
Las demas predicciones del sefor
Keynes yacer todavia en- Ell future, pero
es ctirioso que la Ultima cifra hasta aho
ra de pago annual ofrecida por los ale-
names, rechazada pcr los aliados, para
amortiEar la indemnizaci6n sea oe Glen
.1illones de libras, concordando asi con
Ia que el senior Keynes fijaba COMO cs-
fuerzo maximo que podria hacer Ale M.
MIA, ''esfuerzo que no seria politico de
nuestra parte exigir" Y hacienda notar
las circumstances de amenaza v ie vic
lencia en- que esta oferta Sc hace, y CO.
NJ una gran parte dc Alemanis la ju7ga
excesiva, intiere Ell sefor Keynes 81 sin
ceridad, y afiade: {. NO me aventuraria
a 9rofetizar que lel Gobicrno alcn.an. Ell
ctro momento do panico Y dcsecncierto
ITO firmar&, como hizo en- Versailles, 10
que no puede cumplir. Pero predigo que
GFa vendra en- que todos reconozcan r.ue.
la suma citada es Ell m3ximo que podemos
csperar recibir, que perturbar la psz de
EUROPA, en- la csperanza de obtener L..
luna, fu6 un acto Dc psrvcrsidad y de
locrra.''
Y Ell senior Keynes cierra su carta al
director del 7''Times'' con un .i'timo
vaticinio ssLa afirmaci6n hecha Ell vier
nes er las columnas de su peri6dico de
que la ocupaci6n del Ruhr produciria u,
minimum de cien millones de libras
anuales NO ES JUICIosA".
81 las cosas llevan Ell paso belicoso
de ahora, ell afio pr6ximo, por JUNO 0
julio, vereinos 81 tambi6n en- esta Ultima
profecia fa accrtado el sefor Keynes,
81, al fin, Ell fairy gold empieza a
hinchar las areas aliadas. "Ainsi SOFT

THE GRANGE ROAD POLICY

II Is evident that The Herald's fire.
quent inJunctions 10 go slow" before
committing the state on hard surface
road policy are founded on something
more than mere opinion. Not only i
there very general expression OF pro
test against ths states running in
debt, tut the state grange goes en-
phatically on record against IL.
10 master Of the grange said il
seemed advisable, FOR the present, TO
continue our gravel road policy, with
increased and more efficient patrol
system; a little less leaning on the hoe
system; a pay-as-you system that
will not leave the next generation a
heritage Of debt"
This is just "old farmer" common
sense, perhaps, and il was embodied
somewhat definitely in the following
from the good-roads committee Of the
grange:
"A pay-as-you-go policy in building
'Ns' ''''NttN hih ~ PVnAiuiti hHUft SEC
tons Of hard surface road In different
parts Of the state where there is
heavy traffic to determine what kind
Of hard surface road we want. II any,"
Readers Of The Herald will find no
in squaring such proposals
With its frequent editorial utterances
IN the subject Of hard-surfaced roads,
etc. There is nothing TO be
scared Of in borrowing money IL we
tnow we are buying something that
will last and serve us efficiently, but
ne do not propose to get into a posi-
ion where we shall have lot Of
gorn-out, worthless roads to hand on
o the next generation, in addition to
debt of--say $50 a head-which is
he case with a neighboring state
whose legislatures rushed too swiftly
nto bonding for a certain type Of
Dad, which has not proved satisfac-
DRY or efficient.
The injunction Of the grange to go
low is good advice.-Rutland Her
Id.

| opened my eyes and stared into
the darkness.
How real had been the vision before
my eyes. And as ! thought OF it !
heartily wished-it mifilt come true.
The vision was flashed before me
and ! saw plainly many individuals
representing the different nations as
had often seen them in cartoons.
But 10! Between each nation was a
great bar wrought into word, such
as war, dispute, or Misunderstanding,
etc. | could see some big fellows
representing large nations, looking
down on little fellows representing
smaller nations, with a contemptuous
smile, and Uncle Sam stood apart
from them all, looking scornfully on,
as a society leader might look on her
interiors who were arguing over
question which she considered Of little
Importance. Suddenly my attention
was attracted by the building before
which they stood. Over the door, in
big letters were the words, arms
Conference" Now ! understood that
these people were the guests Of Uncle
Sam and had come 20 Washington 20
attend the Arms Conference, the re-
suit OF which meant either war or
peace.
Then the door opened and they all
marched into the building. No sooner
had that vision disappeared than an
other flashed into view before fe.
This time ! saw far in the horizon
the rising sun Of the dawn Of Christ
mas Day. 1t Travelled slowly across
the sky until II reached a point direct
ly above the building into which had
seen Uncle Sam and his guests enter
short time before. Here Il seemed 70
stop.
As ! watched ] saw the door Of the
building open and Uncle Sam and his
guests left the building.
But lol and behold the dull colored
iron bars that had formed the cruel
words war, dispute, Misunderstanding,
etc., were now changed into bar that
shone brighter than any gold. This
par was one great round circle and one
half Of Il formed the word Love"
While the other half formed the word
Peace" In the center stood the rep
Of the different nations.
They were all crowded around their
lost, Uncle Sam, laughing and talking
ogether, while Uncle Sam looked on
nd smiled, smiled as a mother smiles
n her brood a. she watches them az
er she has helped them 10 settle a
igpute and they gather around her
sughing al the foolishness Of their
uarrels.
Then, gradually the vision faded
rom my sight How real il had all
cen. How ! wished that this Christ
ias would find that the vision bad
onne true. That would be what
-ould can a truly nationally or rather
Universally celebrated Christmas.

poINsFTT AND PoINsETTIa


Today our Poinsettas are bursting
into glory in greater profusion thar
for many years. The prolonged sum
mer. with just the proper amount Of
rainfall and the absence Of violent
winds to whip the tender foliage. has
brought US the blossoms without loss
Of the yellow green foliege. There Is
scarcely a garden along upper St
Charles avenue and others Of our es-
pecially floral streets that does not
CLEAN with splashes Of botanical
fame. What a marvellous monument
10 z. man those flowers are! And yet
how few now recall the truly remark
able man, statesman, scientist, orator,
advcnturer, botanist, writer, whom
North America must thank for the in
PRODUCTION of the flower that wears =
modification Of his name We refer,
Of course, to Joel Roberts Poinsett Of
South Carolina.
Just for poetic justice of the thing,
may we not assume that the flowers
themselves, by their unusual profu-
sion, wish to celebrate a double ami
versary Seventy years ago, on De
cember IL, Poinsett died full Of age
and honors, but thirty years before
that time Joel Poinset, aged AZ, was n
in Congress from his
state and during the winter Of 1921
%, because of his familiarity with for
eign peoples gained by years Of world
was sent on a special mis-
sion to Mexico Then as today and,
we may say, as during most OF the in
term, we were on uncertain terms
with our Southern neighbor. The
Poinsett mission was successful; at the
conclusion of his congressional term 1
he young statesman was made minis /
er to Mexico and there negotiated
commercial treaty Of unusual wisdom
md breadth Of view.
But we hasten too rapidly. 1t was
Turing the winter Of 1922 just men
toned that Poinsett, a botanist OF
alent and enthusiasm, made the
in the Mexican wilds OF
he then "Flor de P; rque," member
I the euphorbia family Of unrivaled
ize and beauty. We might explain
ight here, for fear Of arousing the
