THE BRAND POLICY.

Aristide BRAND. the new premier of
France. unquestionably represents the
dominant sentiment of his country. His
stand is firm. but just and reasonable,
and contains nothing to warrant the an
xiety which was manifested in some
quarters lest the new cabinet turn to OK
IRENE measures. He insists on the fol-
lowing points:
Germany must disarm and pay the rep
a~rations agreed on.
France has sufficient force to compel
such action if necessary, but will rather
bend every effort to peaceful adjust
ment.
Effective peace with Turkey is neces-
sary because of conditions in the East.
This stand is undoubtedly Influenced by
the accession of Constantine to the Greek
throne.
France will not interfere with Russian
internal affairs, but will not countenance
the crossing of Russian boundaries by
Soviet armies for attack upon the allies
of France.
In the matter Sof Germany. BRAND
points out that she is devastated neither
industrially nor territorially as France
has been by her aggression. and if she
will but get to work she can pay the
debts to which she must be held. He is
cminently right in this stand. His posi-
ton in regard to eastern affairs, both
Greek and Russian. is no less sound. In
the fulflment of his program lies the
hope of the French PREPARATION and of
peace with justice for Europe. He should
not lack the support he needs.

BIG LATIN CITIES.

The latest Brazilian census gives the
population of Rio de Janeiro as LEI
.S73. Buenos Aires. capital of Argen-
An estimate made six years ago credited
the city with 1,575,OO0 people. 1t may
have as many as 100000 now.
Inasmuch as Americans nave much res
pect for numbers. and particularly for
numerical size of cities, these figures tend
to impress our nation with the growing
Importance of South America. Only
three of our cities. New York, Chicago
and Philadelphia, are ahead of them.
Indeed, our southern continent makes
a very respectable showing in this respect
in a world list. Only three cities of Eu-
rope today are larger than Buenos Aires
London, Paris and Berlin. Petrograd.
Vienna and Moscow might be larger than
Rio if the blight of war and Bolshevism
had not shrunk them. As matters stand.
only the previous three, with the possible
addition of Constantinople, surpass even
Rio. Teeming Asia has only one city.
Toxic, larger than BuenOs Aires. and the
W next IN size, Canton and Osaka. are
but little larger than Rio.
The Brazilian and Argentine capitals
in many ways rival New York.
Yet millions of Americans who do not
happen to see these figures will continue
to think of L~atin-America as small in
numbers and insignificant in business.
politics and culture.

local fishermen stand on the proposed clos
ing Of the trout streams Aug. l. They
are ''fernist". The reason for this Is
chiefly because the fishing in April is al
most invariably poor and Summer people
who come here in August set consider
able store by fly fishing. which is often
good at that time.
The movement for the closing the
streams August LIST is supposed to be die
tated by the consideration that it would
protect many spawning females. If that
Is so. why not cOntine the restrictions to
headwaters and sources and leave the low
er-down streams, ponds and lakes open?
Bennington and Wmdham counties are
supposed to be behind the movement, but
the Bennington Banner would be satisfied
with the closing of h~eadwaters. 1t seems
as though the difficulty could be adjusted
without changing the law, merely giving
the commissioner power to close or release
certain streams and headwaters in his
discretion.
There is altogether too much la~wmaking
about fish and game. We have a pretty
good, working department; why not leave
a little more to good judgment and dis
cretion?

the need of the return of the two-cent

quite sensible. He says: There should
be another small coin but it should be
two and one-half cents. Such a coin
would obyiate the deliberate fixing of
many retail prices at an odd amount
with the design of mulcting the customer
of the half cent" Such a coin wonld
