ESCH RENAMED -.
President Harding has renamed ex-
Congressman Esch Of Wisconsin to
the interstate commerce commission
under what is known as a recess ap-
pointment.
Senator La Toilette succeeded in
preventing the confirmation of the ap-
pointment Of Esch in the recent ses-
sion and he is expected to make
another fight when the new session
opens.
Esch undoubtedly had assurances
from the Republican machine that he
would be taken care of or he would
not have misrepresented his progress
sive constituency by helping to frame
the notorious Esch- Cummins act.
EXTRA SESSION ON APRIL II
April IL is the date on which the ex-
pected extra session of congress is to
start.
There is much debating evidently
among Republican leaders as to
whether higher tariffs or more taxes
should be the first thing to be consid-
cred by the new congress. And this
issue is good indication of about how
seriously the new congress will con-
slider the great problems confronting
our plain people.
It will act on the avowed theory
that nothing new should be done, and
we can hardly expect it to act con-
trary to it's belief and inclinations.
The great majority of congress rep
resents the class which is we'll pleased
with the world just as it is, except that
farmers are becoming too radical and
labor is getting too high wages. The
world is far better, in fact, than it was
before the war because their profits
are larger.

THE SLLESIAN PLEBISCITE

The province of Silesia has just
been through the devastating expert
ence of deciding by popular vote
whether it would be Polish or German.
If one could imagine our New England
states made up about equally of Cana
dams and citizens of the United States
and the excitement that would take
place in the event that they were to
vote as to whether they should belong
to Canada or the United States, he can
get some idea of what Silesia has just
been through.
And now after it has endured these
things and has a heritage of awakened
race feeling for years to come, we
learn that the popular vote will not
amount to much. We learn that the
allies have decided to divide up .the
province and give the Poles such parts
Of it as contain the great iron ore and
coal deposits. It would appear that
Silesia could have been spared farm
ed'' peace for the last year if this
policy had been announced from the
beginning.

OILY DIPLOMACY

"A new angle to the settlement of
our dispute with Colombia has ap-
peared. Two or three oil exploration
companies, in at least one of which
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon is
heavily interested, are trying to- get
concessions on oil territory in Colon
bia.
It seems that they already have the
concessions, provided that Colombia
gets the $25 100000 she has been ask
ing for to compensate for the loss of
Panama. Many Americans have felt
that this payment ought to be made
to ease our conscience on the methods
we used to get the isthmus and pro-
duce better feeling toward US in Span
ish America.
Politicians who never like to admit
that wrong has been done fought the
payment It was also opposed on the
ground that it reflected on Theodore
Roosevelt. But since Colombia offers
oil concessions she had a splendid
chance of getting the money.
On the other hand, we have the ad-
vantage of Mexico in that we will not
recognize her government until ou1
oil interests get what they want.

Tho United States and South Amcri-
can Republic.

Montcvcdio, Jan. 2G~-Thc United
States should not only be right in its
conduct toward South and Central
American republics but should seem,
to be right. DR.. Juan A. Buero, foreign
Minister of Uruguay. told North AM
eriean correspondents IN an interview
the other day. v. f
DIR. BuerO made hits statement
when asked by the. correspondents
concerning the prejudice reported to
exist in South America against the
United States because OF actions tan
en- at various times in regulating the
Affairs OF some OF the less stable re-
publics In the tropic zone.
Uruguay" he replied, thoroughly
understands the United States and
the reasons for its actions How
ever, some OF the nations that have
had difficulties with the United States
may not understand the North Amer-
lean position. Furthermore, there
are number Of agitators throughout
South America willing to play upon
the minds Of the people to influence
them against North America and
make them believe that the great
northern republic Us actuated by "a
spirit Of aggression.
Therefore permit me to suggest
i'm the interests OF American solid I.
arity and universal good will among
American republics that the United
States not only be but seem right in
It's dealings with South and Central
American republics. The fact and the
| Appearances should coincide.'

DR.. Buero declared that without
| North America It could not be sue
cess. 1t could not do without the
physical. moral and financial support
| OF that nation, he said.
| DIR. BuerO was asked whether he
believed that Pan-American League
proposed by President Brum OF Uru-
quay was incompatible with the
League OF Nations.
| Most certainly do not" he re-
piled. 1.-The Americas, if they wish
TO retain tho world influence that Is
coming to them must have an Amer
lean solidarity. Before meeting OF
the League at Geneva the Americans
! should hold a meeting OF their own
| to determine the policies that the
Americas desire and by presenting q
solid front mako their influence felt
much more powerfully"
There is, however" continued tn,
Foreign Minister. one great draw
back to this much desired solidarity
OF the American peoples. 1t Is the
barrier of lar yuage. For economic
and politicd reasons the public
schools in both the United States and

KEEP YOUR
MONEY WORKING

A tremendous impetus would be
given to business right now if every
man who has ten dollars in his pock-
ct would go Immediately and pay it
to somebody he owes il to.
A few years ago in Canada there
was wide spread movement to
pay up" and the wonders it worked
in business were almost unthinkable.
Retail merchants especially felt the
magical effects which were produced
In two, or three weeks.
1t is simple enough. There is
given amount OF money in circulation
and its function is to circulate. If it
Isn't doing that it is not doing it's
work. 1t IS like q man trying to
work without his hands. A ten, dol
lar bill in your pocket is, while il re-
mains there, just the same as any
other piece Of paper---it is only when
it is put TO its special use that il dis
closes its special value. If one man
keeps ten dollars in his pocket all the
week and pays 1t out Saturday night,
and another instead Of waiting, makes
his payment on Monday, one OF these
| bills lies idle for q whole week, but
the other is in rapid circulation
solving, settling, closing up, five hun
dred or a thousand dollars worth of
business. When one may pays his
! bill another Is enabled to pay his i'm
mediately. And SO it goes But if
everybody holds back, business slows
down and people all say why, and
times are hard. While there may be
plenty Of currency, It is not current
enough, 1t Is hugged, held. retarded
In hundred thousand hands and
business can no more thrive than q
mans body without blood. There is
then withheld from circulation the
currency without which business cam
not, simply cannot, move quickly, If
at all.
