America Will Help Europe II
She Helps Herself, Is View
of Harris.
BY II. WILSON HARRIS.
Correspondent Of the Londe.
Daily News.

: Copyright, 1921. BY the International
News Service.)
One phrase in President Harding's
message to Congress seems. If Brit
ish observer may express the opinion.
to sum up the whole American atti-
tude toward Europe.
The people Of the world, the Presi-
dent asserted. must themselves turn
to the heroic remedies for the
menacing conditions under which
they are struggling; then we can
help and we mean to help" Europe
has no particular reason to COM
plain Of that declaration.
That is fair enough. but unfortu-
nately certain European writer's and
speakers have made the mistake of
painting Europe's condition in the
darkest colors in the hops Of appeal
ing to Americas charity rather than
her business instincts. That kind of
appeal has failed. and It deserves to
fail. Moreover, It is not even based
on fact. Europe is In a bad way.
but she is not slipping down the
hill. She is climbing up 1t.
Currencies are in a hopeless state.
but money is after all only a SYM
boil of value. Europe is gradually
pulling herself together. Poland. for
example, had this year O. harvest
more than sufficient for her needs.
So had Rumania. So had Bulgaria.
So had Hungary. So, think, had
France. Italy is steadily getting on
her feet. Germany Is in difficulties
with her finance and her reparation
payments, but her factories are hard
at work. and there is hardly any un.
employment.
Moreover animosities are dying
down. M. Brands picture of re-
vengeful Germany waiting to fall on
an Isolated France would be rejected
by most Britons and many French.
Altogether. Europe is doing quite
lot to help herself, and the kind
of counsel given by Mr.. Harding In
well calculated to encourage her to
keep on doing 1t.

or President Harding, who, in letter to
Senator Jones asking Congress to come to
the relief OF the Shipping Board says
There have been unspeakable losses and
nnItterable wastes These things must be
charged to the great war emergency and
the feverishness to build in period OF great
anxiety and to then establish n merchant
marine on the basis of the abnormal condi-
tons which prevailed during the war emer-
sehcy. But III Justifying his plea for fur
ther FUNDS for the board, after this frank
confession of the waste of the taxpayers
money, the President felt constrained to
give the assurance that capable hands have
now undertaken the work and "thc waste
can be halted almos; instantly"
Tho Senators do no, view the outlook so
sanguinc!y. They want further proof AS 10
the soundrcss OF the latter statement.
Among those who implied doubts as to the
capable hands" in charge OF the
boards affairs was Senator Borah. who de-
ciared he would not vote in favor Of a2pro-
priating another cent for the board uStii
It's affairs had been Strengthened out and lis
policies made known. This doubling ntti-
tude on the part of the Senators would seem
To be amply justified from the ilusory fig
nrcs submitted at different times by Chair
man lasker as TO the condition of the
BOARD affairs and its immediate actual
needs OF money to enable the putting of its
assets INTO tangible shape for intelligent
study as to their value. He started off by
saying that the board needed $500 900 900.
After he had conferred with the President
he asked for S125.OO0.00O Subsequently.
with the active assistance OF the President.
he succeeded in getting the House to vote
an appropriation OF 4S,500,000. The SEN
ate now has under consideration the APP

cccds further in authorizing the amount ii
wants to be shown to the wisdom of
tho proposed expenditure and as to whether
