American Money
Will Help Develop
Guatemala

Guatemala, April 25-(The Asso-
ciated Press)-A cattle. company fl
nanced by United States investors, is
negotiating with the Guatemalan
government for the purchase of H.,
900 acres of coast land three miles
from Puerto Barrios, on the East
coast of Guatemala. The land is
covered with dense tropical forest.
1t is the purpose of the company
to first exploit the forest for its val
liable timber, chiefly mahogany, after
which the land will be cleared for the
purpose of raising cattle.
Cattle raising is said to be the most
profitable investment that can be
made in this country. Formerly cat
tie were imported here from Honduras
and Mexico, but now trainloads of
cattle are being shipped from the
ranches along the southern coast into
Mexico daily and sold at good prices
Some of the newspapers urge the
raising of more cattle, pointing out
that Guatemala not only has the land
adaptable for that purpose but has a
stable government and an industri-
GUS population not given to revolu-

Careless Charges Of Desertion.
New York TimeS)

Publication of the lists of draft
evaders given out by the War De-
partment, has already raised serious
questions No one wants to spare
.'slackers" their deserved ignominy
and punishment. All newspapers
would be glad to print their names,
and would consider 1t doing public
service, provided there was any GER
tainty that only the guilty were in
cluded. But this is lacking. The
lists have not been searched and
sifted as they should have been by
the Government Officials. In several
instances gross injustice has been
done Men have been posted as hav-
ing lodged the army draft who ac-
tually did military service. or were
killed in battle. Some of them went
into the navy, vet are branded as
slackers One lieutenant command
err in the Naval Reserves has suf-
fered that wrong. Colonel Galbraith
of The American Legion declares
that the inclusion in the first list of
draft deserters of many who SERVED
their country faithfully" was only
what was feared, by chose who have
studied the situation in advance"
This is bad work by the War De-
partment. which is asking the press
to- shoulder a burden that should not
be put upon it. That the plan Of
publishing the lists, as they come
from Washington. would involve
danger of libel suits is obvious. A
dill is before Congress for the relief
Of newspapers from that risk, put
ting the liability on the government.
But that is only small part of the
mischief. 1t is not So much the fear
of being cast in damages, in case Of
a mistake, as that of doing
erievous injustice which actuates
those newspapers that are declining,
to print the government lists. They
would not do it, even if guaranteed
immunity. SO long as they might

thereby do irrerarable injury. 1t is
no public service to publish the
name of a man falsely charged with
having violated the draft law and OF
having been disloyal to his country.
A few names of innocent men on the
list are enough to vitiate the whole,
in the eyes of those careful of their
duty in such matters.
The fault of the War Department
is in asking the public to do de-
tective work which the military au-
thorities and the Department of JUS
tice should do for themselves. In
stead of issuing unverified lists OF
draft evaders, let them run down and
indict and prosecute the actual Of
tenders. Then there will be no dill
Guilty in getting the widest publica-
ton Of the names of the guilty. The
press would use as big and black
type as might be necessary to insure
to these unworthy citizens their full
due of public scorn. But what has
so far been done under the authority
of Secretary Weeks is pretty COM
plete justification of the refusal of
Secretary Baker to make public lists
of slackers which he could not be
sure were accurate.

OLD AGE PENSIONS

Pensions for the aged is something
that has been in vogue for many
Years in some countries and has off
and on been brought to public notice
in the United States, although no
definite action was ever secured.
Representative John /. Nolan of CAL
ifornia, Republican chairman of the
committee on labor, now brings up
the matter in the shape of bill that
is intended to eventually abolish pow
crty among the aged of this country.
Nolan, who is the author of the SO
per day minimum wage bill, which
passed the House last year, would
have the government grant a pension
TO every person above the age of 65
years. without other income from any
other source, who has for the 20 years
preceding the attainment of that age
been a citizen. Paupers, lunatics
and criminals are excepted. The
amount to be paid any individual
would not exceed 80 per week and
would range from that down to Sc
per week. The machinery for putting
the act into effect is placed in the
Department of the Interior, in which
the Pension Bureau is now located.
It is further provided in the Nolan
bin that any person who would come
under its provisions must not have
had any income from any source dur
ing the II months preceding his ap-
plication averaging as much as 50
per week.

GERMANY AGAIN SURRENDERS

Germany has again surrendered to
the Allies, accepting Internationally
the latter's ultimatum on reparation
tcrms-just as was known she must
do, but which she foolishly battled
with a view of making an impress
sion with certain internal groups and
some other European countries. She
also understands without further ar
gument or equivocation that this &C
ceptance means prompt payment-no
more dilly -dallying-that she has
played her last and best trump for
this game and has again been de-
feated.
A Paris dispatch says that Ger
many has yielded only to force at
this time and fears that she will yet
evade fulfillment Ii force has &C
complished so much for the present
then keep up the pressure until
satisfaction has been secured.

BERcULOSIS-ERADlcATION
WORK

SO important has grown the
tuberculosis eradication work among
livestock that Secretary of Agricul-
ture Wallace asks Congress to give
his department $405,00O for an
emergency fund for payment for cat
tie destroyed on account of being
afflicted with that disease. The sum
of 100000 for operating expenses
and $6S0.440 for indemnities for
tuberculosis cattle slaughtered was
the appropriation for the present
large number of reacting cattle
found, the indemnities fund is practi-
cally exhausted.
The first eight months of this fiscal
year found 32,424 tuberculous cattle,
against 1928 for the previous year.
This is not an indication that the
disease is increasing, for between
July l, 1920 to Feb. IS, 1921, there
were tested 792,39S cattle, with Al
per cent. OF TedctOfS, whereas our
ing the previous year for the same
months there were tested 419.376 cat
tie, with 4.3 per cent OF reactors.
The government now pays not eX-
ceeding one-.third of the difference
between the appraised value and the
salvage obtained thcrefrom, the
maximum being for a grade COW SIS
and for Il purebred $50. The re-
nlainder of the value of the animal
is paid according to the law of the
state in which the case occurs.
That the states are realizing the
Importance of the work is shown by
the fact that SO of them have this
Year appropriated nearly $4.o00,O00
for this work and nearly S7Io,000 as
emergency appropriations.

AT EASE-ThE GUARDS AWAKE

Secretary of State Hughes is not
only vigilant in looking after Ameri-
can interests abroad, but he is clear,
forceful. and convincing in the Ian
guage he uses to state the American
claims. Relative to participation of
American concerns in the develop
ment of oil resources in the Dutch
East Indies, he says very directly
that the United States has given for
cign capital equal opportunity in this
country, that the people of other ma
tons are permitted to develop oil
properties in the Dutch East Indies,
and that the United States expects
that the same privileges will be cX-
tended to the people of this coun-
try. 1t is encouraging to find an
American spoke sran talking for
America--not sclfishly. but in a dig
nified and self-respecting manner
We ask no special favors or privi-
legcs. We do ask and expect equal
opportunity.

WORLD WAR MEN IN NATIONAL
HOME

The wonderful work done in the
past and still in progress by the Ma
tional Home for Disabled Volunteer
Soldiers has been and is appreciated
by thousands of brave men who have
worn Uncle Sans uniform. 1t is
known the world over. Its ten
branches, from Maine to California,
have sheltered, cared for and fur
nished all the necessities and some of
the luxuries Of life, which the men
themselves were unable to provide
That it is continuing it's work with
the World War disabled men was to
be expected and that it will do it we'll
goes without saying.
What is not so we'll known, how
ever. is the fact that Congress au-
thorized the Bureau of War Risk In
surance to allot s4,570,0oO for altera-
tions and improvements in the
branches for the express comfort and
welfare of the World War soldiers
and that these improvements and ad-
ditions will be complete by June 80
next. Also that over $500 disabled
World War men have already been
admitted and cared for in the Home
branches.
One thing that is difficult to under
stand is the cause for the following
para graph in the report of the Board
of Managers, regarding the altera-
tons and Improvements, when it re-
fers to the Eastern Branch at Togus,

liar situation at the Eastern Branch

ance, the fact that we have space to
losis and general patients, but ad-
vantage has not been taken of this
space.
With the wonderful health giving
qualities of the Maine atmosphere,
it would seem that many cases might
be found among the sick and disabled
for whom this location would be es-
pecially beneficial

Keep America American.
(Erom IIcslie's)

Americans have become so accus-
toned to the orderly working of their
political institutions that they take
everything as a matter of course
Indeed. to judge from the behavior
of many citizens. it might be said
with fairness that familiarity breeds
contempt" We talk slibly about our
blessings, but we do not seem to ap-
preciate them over much.
Take for example, the recent
change in administration of our ma
tional government. After eight
years of power one group moved out
and another group moved in. There
was no display of force, no fear Of
violence. no uncovering of plots. Of
ficers of the retiring government met
their successors with every possible
courtesy and help in getting a fair
start. Cheers and good wishes from
people of Ill parties followed the out
going leaders and greeted the new
corners. It was good deal like
changing the watch on ship at sea.
And all this was simply a symbol
of something greater in the nation it
self The reason for the change in
personnel of government was not
personal ambition, or political
scheming, or armed force. The peo-
PIE of the country by their votes on
election day registered a decision.
That decision was final. It was made
after full and free discussion without
any element of coercion. Alterna-
tive policies and leadership were pre-
scented to the electors and they made
their choice. Under fixed constitu-
tional forms this choice automati-
cally established itself on March 4.
The old government went out; the
new government went in. with no in
terruption to the business of the
country.
Compare this with Russia or Ger
many. Russia got rid of its ruler by
numbering him and his family and
by usurpation of a proletarian dicta-
tor who achieved and retained his
power by bloodshed. terrorism, con-
flscation. Germany exiled her ruler
and scrapped his constitution. And
both countries sit upon a shoulder
ing volcano which at any moment
may blow them to pieces.

courses OF study, methods of instruc-
ton, and policies of school control.
This education bill, Oh. r. y, in
troduced in the House of Represent
atives by Mr. TownCr in the present
Congress, provides specifically that:
"All funds apportioned to a State
for shall be distributed and

authorities for the same purpose,
and the state and local educational
authorities Of said State shall deter
mine the courses of study, plans and
methods for carrying out the pur-
poses of this section within said
State in accordance with the laws
thereof"
This provision is to be found in
each section of the bill. making pro-
vision for Federal aid for any specific
purpose.
There is also a general provision
appearing in section 10 of the bill
Oine 19) as follows:
THAT all the educational facilities
encouraged by the provisions Of this
Act and accepted by a State shall
be organized, supervised, and admin
istered exclusively by the legally
constituted State and local educa-
tional authorities of said State. and
the Secretary of Education shall ex-
ercse no authority in relation
thereto: and this Act shall not be
construed to imply Federal control
Of education within the States nor to
impair the freedom of the States in
the conduct and MANAGEMENT of their
respective school systems"

The idealism of Harding.


Some people imagine that we have
changed from a government of ideal
ism without practically to one that
is practical without idealiSm. Presi-
dent Harding is showing that there
has been no such reversion. AL
though, happily, lie is a practical
man, he is, fortunately, not lacking
in idealism. The change has been
from Il government in which too Of
ten the ideal subordinates the prac-
teal, in which too often the practical
became lost in sort of cosmic ideal
ism, to one in which the practical
and the ideal are fairly we'll bal
anced, each giving support to the
other Mr. Harding has had few OPP
portunities to give expression to the
idealism that is within him. The
circumstances of his campaign and
the condition of the country made 1t
essential that he address himself to
the practical solution of practical
problems, and to combat in a way
that expression of idealism which he
believed to be not only impractical
hut dangerous. Therefore the prac-
teal side of the man so largely pre-
dominated in his utteranceS that the
ideal was submerged. This was no
less true of his inaugural address ana
his first message to Congress. ne
was discussing material things al
most exclusively. practical issues. in
the main. that called for practical
consideration.
But on the 5th Of last December
he delivered an F,lks' memorial ad-
dress at Bedford Va. which was lit
tie noticed ut the time but which re-
vealed the inner depths Of the man.
