troll competition along certain lines.
While the rest are jockeying for COM
mercial position, through this commits
sion, we are mere onlookers without
first class rider, and without even a
paddock tag" says Mr.. Kiplinger in
his best Rush county horse language.
Unless We get in the game" he adds,
I'VE are apt to find the markets of
Europe closed to us and American
capital put to a distinct disadvantage"
Mr.. Kiplinger states the policy sug-
gested by q section of the present
delegation on the Reparation Commis-
sion was for the United States to can
eel all Indebtedness owed to it by
England, France and the other allied
powers, and in return for such action
the United States to receive assign
ment of the uneXecuted obligations of
Germany, as stipulated by the peace
treaty.
This would mean," he states, "the
United States assuming the entire en-
forcement of the remaining treaty OBJ
legations, as we'll as assuming the bur-
dens directly and indirectly connected
Herewith. Personally l am unable to
see where there would be any assets
as, from my knowledge of the situa-
tion, all available assets have at the
present time been gobbled up by our
former allies, while our chaps stood
by and permitted it to be done. Those
who are advocating this procedure
were also strongly in favor of our
swallowing the league of nations
l think it would be the biggest crime
that was ever committed against our
country"

TRUSTEES OF WAYNE
MAY BORROW MONEY
BECAUSE OF TAX CUT

Temporary loans to several trus-
tees in Wayne county seem probable
as a result of the work of the state
tax board in cutting the levy made
by the township trustees in 1919 for
the special school taxes. Several
townships are now in difficulty and
the City of Richmond board has al
ready been forced to call for spe-
cial loan. 80

ience until they receive their appor-
tionment

WASHINGTON, March Sin a let
ter to an Indiana member of congress
written at Wiesbaden, Germany, John
H. Kiplinger, one of the five members
of the inter-allied commission super
vising restitution by the German gov
eminent under the terms of the treaty
of peace, expresses the hope that the
foreign policy of the new administra-
tion will not involve a complete with
drawal on the part of the United
States from the various organizations
created "as direct or indirect result
of the treaty except, of course, insofar
as regards the league of nations"
Mr.. Kiplinger is resident of Rush
vile, Ind, where he practiced law for
a number of years. He was captain of
the national guard company in that
city and served with that organiza.
ton in France. He remained in Eur
ope following the armistice. Mr.. Kip
linger is we'll known throughout east
ern Indiana.
Urges Continuance.
Mr.. Kiplinger expresses the opinion
that the United States can do more for
itself and more for Europe, as a whole
by continuing its representation on
the various commissions created to
carry out the provisions of the treaty
of peace, and to insist upon the es
tablishment and the carrying out of a
definite business policy, which, he
says, is lacking at the present time.
at is undoubtedly necessary that we
continue to render assistance and aid
to Europe and European industries,
writes Mr.. Kiplinger, but in doing
this the work should be along purely
business and practical lines, and not
in the indiscriminate way it has beer
done in the past. In doing this we
must be in position to know just
what is going on SO as to protect our
selves"

Why Ric h m is the
Best Place in Which
to Live

Each day Palladium reporter
will interview persons at random
10 find out why they like TO live
here.
Il like Richmond because she
is not a country town, nor a
large city. One can live within
her boundaries and not be
stranger to the ways Of a good
sized city, and at the same time
experience the neighborliness
and nearness that comes with
know ing scores of local
citizens.'
That is the way a young man
explained his liking for Rich
mond when questioned. Satur-
day. He has been a resident Of
this city all of his life.
In Richmond one can buy
practically anything one wants.
and always everything one
needs. If there are things one
can't buy here. it isn't import
Fnt enough to cause him to
change his home. Any person
can receive various degrees of
education up 20 and including
a college course. Those desiring
a healthful church life have hut
to seek for tit is here. Rich
mond has opportunity; the fine
old men that attended the Ro-
tarv meeting the first of this
week, are living proofs Of it.
I'VE are plain, but we aren't
green; we are smart without
the 'alecks:' we are happy be-
cause we can jam in a Saturday

says the Manchester Guardian in COM
menting on the inaugural address of
the new American PRESIDENT The

called upon to bridge a difficult pas
sage in Americas relations with the
rest of the world.
"The political exigency." it con-
tinues, dictated that the whole plan
of the league of nations which Mr..
Wilson helped to inspire must be
stultified in America, even before it
could properly be understood, The
march of world events and Of world
aspirations makes it clear that some
form of d league must and will COM

is to be the now American govern

hope. Through the whole address
runs 4 forceful current of that deter
mipation to help to make future wars

The Guardian is of the opinion that
while Harding diStrusts the league a ;
being in fact an alliance of victors
which proposed to do what it likes
with the vanauished, he is willing to
consult with it but will not commit
Americans to any of its plans without

lied that if it is TO fulfill its purpose
it must at the earliest moment wider
