out of five are showing American films. There is very little spoken criticism of Am erica as the British not people of easy and fluent speech. There is far greater re- spect for Americans than there was before the war-of that there can be question.
 The man in the street is not likely to forget that the American army was a help in time of need-in the sorest time of need that this war-bitten old land ever knew. In his heart, the average Britisher thinks that America did we'll out of the war. He remembers that America came into the war three years late-that she has secured nearly all the gold, and that she shared the glory of the victory with smaller death-roll than Canada.
 Also, he does not think that America should have dashed back home quickly after the armistice. She could have borne her share of the worry and expense of clear ing up the mess, he thinks. She ought to have played the game to the end, he believes; and taken her mandates for Turkey and Armenia. But at the same time the average Britisher knows that America is not a Brit ish country and not accustomed to and world matters. He believes that ''ac- tions speak louder than words, and he now has good reason to think that if a second crisis arose, America would be found at the last moment on the right side
 As to all the tail-twisting that is now
 
 nothing about it. He is used to being abused. He takes it an indirect form of fattery. It does not arouse any spirit of resentment.
 AS to the deplorabe happenings in Ire- land, the average Britisher says nothing. He feels about reprisals as the average Southerner feels about the lynchings of negroes. It is a matter that springs out of peculiar situation, for which no one is to blame.
 As to the payment in full of Brtains debt to America, that has not been ques- tioned by any responsible Britisher The general opinion is-"Of course we'll pay America, but they'll have to wait bit'' Many Engishmen do not forget that several of the Southern States still Britain $200,000,0 ,000 and have refused payment; and it would be regarded as a very gracious and timely act, if this old debt were now remembered and set down to the credit of Great Britain.
 So, in general, the British feeling towards America is one of friendliness and respect tempered by a wish that America would take her full share of what the Britisher calls the white mans burden"

THE DISMISSAL OF MIR. MIG PHERSON.

The dismissal by the Seattle Chamber of Con- merce of j. L. McPherson manager of the Alaska Bureau of that organization about the worst thing that could have been done if Alaskas friend ship is regarded valuable by Seattle Mir McPherson is old Alaskan. He possesses enclyclopediac in formation Alaska and Alaskan affairs and prob lems He is devoted to the Territory and it's devel- opment He has given years of very and very effective work in its interest He has been the Alaska Bureau of the Seattle Chamber Commerce since it's establishment, and that organization has done than any other agency to alay the feel ing that previously prevailed in Alaska against Seattle.
 If the Seattle Chamber of Commerce would do it's best to hold the friendship of Alaska for Seattle it would rescnd it's action and retain the services of Alaskas good friend at the head of the very efficient Alaska Bureau.

 The original stenographer did not wear ear puffs and did not chew gum. He wore a toga and sandals, md he did his work with papyrus md stylus in the year 200 B. C.. 5tenography is one of the most an cient of the professions, St. Luke 'eported the Sermon on the Mount n shorthand. Julius Caesar was proud of the fact that he could write shorthand. So was Augustus, the irst of the Roman Emperors. The 'amous oration of Cicero was report. d in shorthand in the Roman Sen lte in 63 B. c. There were no less han 40 official shorthand reporters n the Roman Senate. Horace, Livy, Ovid and Plinty were all shorthand experts. Roger Williams, the foun- der of Rhode Island, was a stenog- rapher. So was the son of the first Governor of Massachusetts. And be it remembered that Julius Caesar. who did most to develop stenogra- phy, was himself stabbed to death with styli, the instruments used for shorthand writing in those days.

HAYNES A GENUINE ''DRY."

Major Roy Haynes, recently appointed National Prohibition Commissioner is credited with being one of the 'dryest of the drys" His appointment is hailed by the Drys a distinct victory over the Vets and near-Wets. The Commission, who probably will function Department of Jus tice is the editor of the Hillsboro (Ohio Despatch He endorsed by the Anti Saloon League and other dry agencies for the position.
 Major Haynes was backed for the position by Senator Willis, of Ohio and had for his only prom inent opponent, Newton Fairbanks brother of the former Vice-President. Mr. Fairbanks was supposed to have the endorsement of Attorney Daugh- erty. The appointment of Major Haynes is said to be the first important bit of patronage to be secured by Senator Willis.
 Hillsboro. the new Commissioners home town is the scene of Ohios first anti-liquor crusade Major Haynes has been prominently connected with the work of the Anti-Saoon League for years Wash ington observers say that his appointment may be taken to indicate that the Harding Administration has given notice of it's recognition that national pro hibition, as now written the statute books must be enforced.

AVERAGE BRITON,S VIEW.

Recently noted New York banker and fnancer Otto Kahn, in a remarkable letter to the London Times set forth the attitude he found it of the average American towards Great Britain. The letter attracted considerable notice both this country and In England MT. Kahn suggested that it would be of great value if the views of the man in the street in Britain, were explained to the American people as number of misundersandings have arisen the mat ter of the Allied debts to America
 In communication from Herbert c. Casson writ ten from London, appearing in Eastern financial publication, the average British view is set forth Interestingly.
 To begin with he comments the main fact is that there has been no an-American propaganda in Great Britain. Tn the past years have seen only one anti-Amercan outburst in the daily press and that was an interview with a newly elected councilman in Croydon"
 Commenting at length, MT. Casson said
 Only publication in the whole of
 Great Britain is aggressively anti-Ameri-

Japan and the Monroe Doctrine.
(San Francisco Chronicle ]

(San francisco ChrOnlce.)
 Japanese statesmen have frequently alleged that il the United States properly have and enforce Monroe doctrine for the Americas Japan can, with equal propriety set and enforce Monroe doctrine for Asia.
 Nothing would please the American people better The Monroe Doctrine is that should consider it unfriendly act for any American country to at tempt by force to occupy any territory within the boundaries of any established American It is protective doctrine We make charge for it, and claim and get no compensation whatever. We ask for no concessions of any kind Trade equal terms is open, so far concerned to all the world If in pursuance of treaty rights interfere to main tain internal order, we leave order is re- stored. We control ports" We let the peoples build their own railroads go without them. If our citizens to those countries invest money in them, they subject to local law
 If Japan would set up that kind of doctrine for Asia, beginning with the abandonment of its own special claims of kind, leaving in particular the Chinese to do precisely what they please with their own country the people of the rest of the world would most heartily rejoice
