FROM BISHOP ANDERSON

1t must be apparent to every
thoughtful person that much
work remains yet to be done to
make the Eighteenth Amend
ment effective. A law becomes
effective not when it is placed
upon statute books, but when it
is put into actual practice among
the people. This remains vet
to be done. 1t is chaotic time
for the cause of temperance.
All the friends of the reform
should hold steady and go for
ward for real enforcement.
William F. Anderson,
Bishop of the Methodist
Episcopal Church.

Alcohol in the form of whisky
is no longer officially recognized
as medicine. The majority of
reputable, physicians do not
prescribe whisky, though some
eminent" ones are glad to pre-
scribe it freely if you have the
price of the prescription.
There are something like 10000
physicians in the United States,
i believe. 1t would be pretty
hard to get quorum together.

whisky and beer are given

Almost a billion dollars Of unpaid
interest on foreign debt was one of
the legacies bequeathed to the Hard
ing administration by the retiring
Democrats. Plans for the payment
OF that huge sum must be worked
out together with an effective policy
toward the principal of the debt,
amounting to over $4,000. 900.
Secretary Mallon says that inquiries
have been received from several of
the debtor countries regarding the
attitude OF the United States toward
the interest payments. and that he
has told all OF them that they must
pay up Republicans of Congress
and the executive branch are deter
mined that interest payments shall
be kept up to date IN the near future
and that the principal shall be re-
funded in such a way as to make
certain OF its eventual repayment to
the United States while at the same
time showing all proper considera-
ton to the financial situation in each
of the debtor nations.

Mr.. Hamilton Holt is heading a
party OF pro-leaguers who refuse to
accept the dictum of the American
voters last November, and are >rg-
ing President Harding to
his plan for an association of nations
so hat they can study and criticize
it.. If Mr.. Holt and his followers will
acquaint themselves with current
events at Washington and take their
eyes off of Europe for a time they
will see that President Harding and
his administration are bending every
effort toward putting the American
house in order. 1t is true that Mr..
Harding favors an association Of ma
lions in the interests of world peace.
and he said so in the campaign, but
the dominant note of his speeches be-
fore the election was america

America first. Holt and his crowd
would have the United States wallow
awhile longer in the aftermath OF

sacrifices in the interests OF Euro

ing's thoughts are centered on the
welfare Of the United States. and the
