DEBTS AND EXPORTS.

The one thing sure about German
reparation is that Germany cannot
pay an indemnity to the Allies I'M
less she pays for it, directly or in
directly, in goods. That is to say,
she cannot pay unless she can de-
velop a profitable export trade, sell
ing more than she buys. And the
Allies are in the absurd position of
trying to keep out her goods
through heavy tax on her exports
and collect billions from her at the
same time.
The one thing sure about repay
ment of the $4,000, 100000 the Allies
owe our government and the several
billions more they owe our private
business interests in that they, like
wise, cannot pay US unless they pay
mainly in goods. Their debts were
incurred through buying from us
vastly more than they sold to US
We have most of the gold in the
world, and they have little except
the power to produce raw materials
and manufactured goods. Yet large
numbers of American business men,
and some law makers as we'll, dis
avowing any desire to cancel those al
lied debts, are determined to prevent
any considerable influx of imports.
If the Allied debts are to be can
celled, very well. But does the ma
ton want them cancelled? There is
no sign of such desire
There is more concerned, too, than
the mere payment of war obligations
by Germany to the Allies and by the
Allies to the United States, impor
tant as that consideration undoubted
ly is. Disinterested economists in
sist that our own export trade is at
stake. We cannot continue exporting
goods indefinitely, they say, in return
for mere promises to pay. There must
be actual payment, and for a while,
until the score is made more nearly
even, a large part of that payment
must be made in goods. 1t is merely a
question of taking payment in the
kinds of goods that will interfere least
with our own industries.

pervision of Mr.. Leighton in Chautau-
qua Park last year brought nothing
but approval from the summer visi-
tors, and l am sure that the same re-
suit will follow in this case. Certainly
l would not hesitate long between the
telling of a tree and the possible
manning of child by the dropping of
decaying limb, and the whole aim
is that of conservation and construc-
ton instead of destruction.
May l also ask for time in the ap-
prisal of the management by the
Board of Foreign Missions. The work
of the Association, after more than
thirty years of effort, was not rose
garden of fragrance to either stock
holders or directors-there was many
a thorn. Thorns and roses-for there
are roses-were alike inherited by the
Board.
To launch hastily new adventures
along untried paths involving the ex-
penditure of hundreds of thousands of
dollars would discount at once the
business judgment of the men who
must account to a great church for
the wisdom of their planning for all
the continents.
You can't add a new cog to a ma
chine without adjusting all the other
parts as well, and Mountain Lake
Park is just one cog in a great world
scheme.
With bit of patience and Ameri-
can good sense, the dream of the
founders will be changed into reality.
Thanking your for your courtesy in
granting space for this explanation
due to your many readers interested
vitality in Park affairs, am,
Very sincerely yours,

THE SERVICE MANS GOOD
VALUE.

An appeal has been issued to the
newspapers of the country by Secre-
tary of War Baker, asking them to
guard against designating as EEK
service men" burglars, hold-up men
and other criminals, without proper
investigation. Mr.. Baker declares
that the expression is becoming in
creasingly common and that in many
cases investigation would show that
the criminal had never been connect
ed with the nations armed forces.
Such an appeal would not have
been issued without circumstances to
warrant it, and if carelessness has
developed this wholesale accusation
and connection of the former service
men with the class of crimes that
are being perpetrated every day, a
movement to place a check upon it
should be promptly invoked. No
greater wrong could be done to the
soldiers of this or any other country
than to create the impression that
any appreciate number of them have
drifted to violence and crime. Ger
tainly the newspapers, which have
been with and for the service man al
ways, are farthest from desiring to
throw any undeserved stigma upon
them and will further actively any
campaign to prevent any such injus-
tice.

But will you?
Certain it is when you do not feel
just right, you are not right. There
is probably something the matter with
your blood. And while you can get
around and do your work you are
leaving yourself open to any of the
diseases that are always waiting to
take possession of run down people.
When you are pale and easily tired,
when you cannot enjoy your meals,
when you lose enthusiasm, your blood
needs attention. a
Take Pepto-Mangan for awhile. It
is great tonic. 1t will build up YOU
