Americas S Duty to Europe

There is probably for saying that the
United States nation has done all it ought to
have done for the restoration ravaged nations
of Europe.
The record of individual charity has been one Of
which every American has reason to be proud and that
charity has been extended former enemies and neuras
well those that allies But the people
of the United States have been very cautious approx
ing official acts by congress which designed to give
political support financial relief to European govern
ments or nations
One for this is that extravagant demands
have been made, and in certain the manifest pur
pose has been, not much the benefit of Europeans as
the financial advantage of Americans.
Three illustrations of this readily to mind
The American people would have been willing cooper
ate with foreign nations to maintain secure the re-
suits of the World but instead of timely acts of CO.
operation they asked to sanction farreaching and
comprehensive scheme for League of Nations.
In arranging the schedules of permanent tariff
law would have been reasonable consider changed
conditions, under which the United States is now
creditor and no longer debtor nation and also the
manifest needs of certain countries market for their
surplus products Instead of fair and reasonable pre-
sentaion of facts, congress has been bombarded by
vociferous demands of American Importers and news
paper offices have been flooded with propaganda along
similar lines from the sources.
The question of the debts of European governments
to the of the United States one that should
be discussed in fairness all but with broad charity
But the mind of America has been prejudced against
reasonable concessions because the insisence of some
that the debts should be cancelled altogether
and in this American taxpayers should be called
on to instead of European taxpayers because such
substitution would be for the benefit of certain busi
ness interests in the United States.
The sufficient to all these claims for special
favors is that the first duty of the government of the
United States is to its own people 1t should the
interests of foreign nation only when by doing is
serving the interests of the United States It for the
people individuals and not for tho government to
dispense charity.
Far from blaming congress for what it has not DONE
it should be censured at all because it has gone beyond
the limit of its proper powers in using the money of
American taxpayers, in incurrng debts that must
be paid by Americans, to do things that within
the legitimate range of its constitutional actions.

lihood be fought to a large extent with
chemicals. Tho amazing development
OF this form of warfare in the. late
world struggle coupled with the fact
that peace-timo commercial chemical
plants can be transformed Immediate
ly into formidable munition plants, is
sufficient to guarantee this.
Contrary to general popular opinion.
fighting with gases is said to be far
moro humane than other forms of war
fare Tho measure of humanity In war
Is the number OF deaths and perma-
nently injured in relation to the total
number injured. Tho Surgeon Gen
eral OF tho Army in his latest annual
report. published interesting figures to
prove that chemical warfare IL more
humane than conflict with bullets and
high explosives.
Tho blame for every conceivable sort
