the whole story Z the Pacific
Ocean.
William j. Bryan, looking at the
White House and its new occupant,
not exactly like Lucifer looking
up after the fall, but something
like an angry wren, watching the
cuckoo offspring grow big in her
nest, resumes his discussion, IF !
Were Harding"
He tells Mr.. Harding that his
big problem will be profiteering by
I respectable Republicans. That is
true. When one little branch of
one big company with many
branches can make eighty or
million dollars a year, somebody
is getting too much out of some
body else.
Bryan quotes Senator Calders
statement that the coal men alone
in one year stole fifteen hundred
millions from the people, and he
quotes also the coal mems indig-
nant reply that the amount was
only six hundred million.
Next to the profiteers stealing
in big humps, the danger, accord
ing to Bryan, is strikes, lock-outs,
and general industrial fighting on
the chest of the public. In the
coal strike one million men, all
told, we're interested miners and
owners; with their families, five
millions. They disturb a hundred
millions not interested in the
fight. That is one of Mr.. Hard
ing's problems.
From across the ocean, Maximil-
ian Harden, most powerful edi-
torial writer in Europe, who de-
fed the Kaiser throughout the
war, also contributes his "If !
were Harding"
Every business man who thinks
should read Harden's article. He
deals especially with Russia, her
gigantic territories offering incon-
ceivable treasures-"grain, man
ganese, coal, precious metals. oil
wells, enormous nitrate beds,
hemp, leather, fur, wood, cattle,
game, cotton, and WOOL" And
with those treasures q hundred
and fifty millions of white popu-
lation eager for work.
There, as Harden truly says. this
country can help the world, max
ing the white race dominant,
by enabling the tchite race to h0e
and thrive. The whites should
stop choking and starving each
other.
Among the writer's for tomor-
rows one issue of a Sunday news
paper is also Francesca Nitti, re
Gently prime minister of Italy.
He, too, writes Of Russia, most
important spot in the world. to-
day. Harden says Russia must be
helped, that Bolshevism must be
destroyed. 1t would have been de-
stroyed but for England, says
Nitti.
Harden, deploring Russian con-
ditions, realized that the most sim
lister Mongolian khanate and a de-
caying Byzantine emperorship
could not be put to death by drown
ing it in lemonade The thing had
to be done unfortunately in blood,
as such things always have been
done.
Nitti points out that the road
to Moscow is through Berlin. A
better road is through common
sense, letting the Russians arrange
their government, the outside
world confining itself to helping
PROFITABLY, the Russian peo-
pie.
Five million British workers in

Next in the Sunday Americans
bill OF fare comes a refreshingly
light touch, from Marcel Provost,
