Answering Foreign Propaganda

"The American Legion mass meeting at
Madison Square garden was complete answer
to Won Mach, Viereck, and their crews" says the
Weekly Review. ut was no doubt a wise plan
to confront dsloyalty directly with it's opposite,
for by this experience imagination at dark de-
signs was transformed into something positive:
It emerged as an exalted passion for country, and
patriotism is wholesome catharsis when REIN
forced by the conviction that ones country
stands squarely for truth and right. The pity is
that such meeting should have been necessary
so soon after our tremendous experience in the
war For though it is to be expected that
America, with her diverse population, will con-
tinue to take sides on world issues, even
when an issue appears to have but one worthy
side, it was not expected that Won Mach would
thus early reappear with his pack of lies. 1t is
the tradition of America to react with moral di-
rectness to world situations involving the issue
of humanity. May she long continue to do So,
even if groups of her population mistakenly place
their sympathies The distressing thing today
land we must lay it in some measure at the door
of that policy of neutrality in thought which
tended to make a brutal cause half respectfully
is that Won Mach who should long ago have been
wholly dscredited, is still able to command a
hearing. Lying propaganda must not be allowed

taken, discussion.

sentatives. .a%
After the government gives the am
bassador SIT, 500 year, he can attend
to all the details himself. He can live
where, when and how he pleases and,
after he has spent 100000 year en-

Ambassing- for this country is a
strenuous job. Other countries furnish
their ambassadors with homes, but or

travelled in the stricken districts say that condi-
tions in China are far worse than those that
prevailed in some European countries after the
war had left its marks of pestilence, privation
and starvation.
The great heart of America responded to the
call of affliction 1t is re-assuring to learn that
China did not ask for aid until she had exhausted
her own resources. America respects honorable
dealings and is glad to know that China herself
is breaking all records in answering the cry of
her starving millions.

SMITH POINTS OUT
GUARD UNIT BENEFITS

Adjutant General Smith, in letter
to Clarence Gennett, expressed the
hope that Richmond will organize a
company of the national guard by
April Is, the date on which the enlist
ment period closes.
Richmond should be one of the best
cities in the state for the organization
of the national guard because it brings
to the city advertising and at the same
time would add an income of about
IS 900 per year to the city and with
out any investment whatever" says
Mr.. Smith
The training of the young men
would make them better citizens in
every way, and they would be better
both physically and mentally for the
training which they would receive
from the organization"
The formation of the company here
will be held open until April Is, land
if the business men and civic societies
do not put the organization across by
that time your city will not be consid-
cred in the location of unit of the
Indiana national guard.

China is Doing Its Part

Those who have contributed to the relief of
the starving people of China may wonder if the
inhabitants of that country are helping the
amine-stricken districts.
To the credit of the Chinese, it may be re-
corded that never have the people of that coun-
try exerted themselves more zealously to meet
the dire effects of calamity than they are doing
now.
An Associated Press dispatch from Picking
tells of the munificent gifts which rich mer-
chants and officials, students and civil employees
have made to alleviate the suffering of their fell
low countrynen. President Hsu Shih-C Chang has
given $4,000 for national relief. Chinese
banks have floated a loan of 100000. Shang-
hal merchants raised nearly 100000. One
rich. merchant gave 81 100000 and the Sheng
family Of Shanghai donated 100000.
Besides these gifts, the dispatch enumerates
many examples of sacrifice which persons in
humble circumstances of life are making Young
girls are denying themselves food in order that
the surplus may benefit the starving. Chinese
students are making denials. Ground in the fer
tile provinces that formerly was devoted to the
cultivation of flowers is now planted to vege-
tables and cotton. -.
8 These reports will convince American donors
that they have participated in worthy cause.
China is not looking to other countries to feed
her starving millions, but is doing her part val

cause of her own people. Investigators who have
