Through Canadian Eyes
Almighty Dollar" Policy Deprecat-
eel, With a Word Of Good VIII

10 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: ! noticed on the bulletin board
OF The Toronto Star as I passed along
hing Street to-day that correspondent
had written your paper suggesting
that Great Britain might relieve her
financial obligation by selling Canada
TO the United States, and also express
ing his belief that this would NEE,
with favor by Canadians generally.
Had this man been privileged to note
the effect of such a suggestion on a
crowd of Canadian men as | did today
he would not long hold such an opin-
ion. 1t created quite laugh, and one
man remarked, Hello another Am
erican has had pipe dream"
Last Thursday / listened to Profes-
sor Schur-nan. ex-president of Cornell
University. before the Empire Club of
Canada and heard him say that the
matter of most vital Importance for
consideration in the world to-day was
economics" When he went on to ex-
plain the United States viewpoint with
regard to the League of Nations ! felt.
as did nearly every man present, that
ne certainly did represent the thought
and desire of the American Republic.
which seems TO be "Get all of the al
mighty dollars you can when the get
ting is good" Now, sir, how do you
think Canadians could link up with
such a policy, having passed through
such hardships and suffering during
the late war?
Since the beginning of the war we
have learned two great lessons-first,
that the cnly way in which this old
world can be righted Is by the nations
putting into practice the principles of
brotherhood as exemplified in the
teachings Of the MAN OF Nazareth, ,''
and secondly, it has taught US that
John Bull is no longer to be looked
upon in the light of "stepfather" or
guardian" He is a real father
whom we will henceforth delight to
"companioa with"
We have desired (and still desire !
the frieni iship of the American people.
We waited long while for your valued
help in the war and we feel that your
entrance into some kind of pact with
the other nations for the peace of the
world Is real necessity. Surely your
great leaders will soon lend their aid 70
the great European leaders who are
making an honest effort to make the
world safe for democracy,
We as Canadians appreciate the fair
minded attitude that you have ex-
pressed from time to time with regard
to the British Empire in your valued
paper FREDERICK RAYMOND.

Elizabeth MiIbank Anderson

A singularly clear and open mind
was united with a warm and gen.
erous heart in the person of Eliza
beth ,Milbank Anderson. She was
seventy-one at her death, yet to the
end preserved a freshness of outlook
and a considerate fairness toward
new ideas and proposals which made
her vital, personal force for
progress.
She is to be counted among the
leaders in the woman's movement of
the last twenty-five years. Her
feminism was typical of that sane
resolve for orderly development
which has characterized the rise Of
women to their new economic and
political position in America. The
higher education of women was long
especially close to her heart. In her
service to Barnard College, as donor
and as trustee, she contributed an
intelligence and discrimination
which only mind of unusual ability
and power make possible
Her fitting monument stands at
Barnard College, in brick and stone,
dedicated to the training of that
woman of tomorrow whom she con-
celved as latent in the woman of
many years ago and of whom she
was so loyal and splendid fore
runner

The Belgian Disclosure

In the matter of the secret memo
randum signed by him in Paris on
June 16, 1919, touching Belgian in
dcmnity, President Wilson com
mitted a blunder sadly character
istic of his diplomatic Methods
blunder calculated to defeat the very
end he had in view.
He did business concerning an inn
portant matter without reporting to
the American people. 1t is not clear
that he consulted even the other
members of the peace delegation.
He signed a document which he
knew would be construed elsewhere
as committing our government and
then locked it up in his portfolio for
twenty months. Before he went
abroad he promised a complete re-
port, and on his return staged a
frank conference with the Congress
sional leaders. But so far as is re-
vealed he never told any one that
which he had done.
The agreement is that taking note
of the special claims of Belgium to
be reimbursed not only for the dam
age done to her but for her war ex-
penditures; that France, Great Brit
ain and the United States should
cancel their claims for money they
severally advanced to Belgium, in
return for a special issue of Ger
man bonds to the same amounts.
Translated into dollars, this means
that the United States is not to hold
Belgium for the $171, ,780, 900, lent to
her, but is to look to Germany to
iquidate the sum. This transfer the
President agreed to urge on Con-
gress to authorize. 49,,
In form the agreement was merely
to recommend action, but under the
circumstances the negotiation is not
eXplicable except on the theory that
Belgium and France and Great Brit
ain believed this country was COM
mltted to the transaction.
Even in the limited, sense the
President did not carry out his part
OF the agreement. Up to Tuesday
ne made no recommendation, but
kept the business dark, to the preju-
dice Of calculating the agreement.
For 1t was. easier to get the neces-
sary bill through Congress year
and a half ago than it is now. Can
1t be the President kept the matter
back through fear that to tell the
truth would injure the chances of
his party in the election? Or was
1t because his physical condition was
not such as to permit him to attend
to pressing public business?
But whatever were the reasons
for the concealment, the truth is at
last out. And in view Of the fact
that the Presiden. did as he did and
Of the other claims Belgium has or
our consideration, it will be very en-
barrassing for the Harding Admin
lstration and the new Congress if
they fail to make the exchange OF
Belgian notes for German bonds. If
this is not done the charge of breach
OF faith may be expected from those
who do not understand the. intricacies
OF our governmental system.

TO the Editor Of, The Tribune
Sir: I should like to add one para
graph to your editorial of February %
concerning impeachment proceedings
against Judge Lands. II seems to me
If our representatives in Congre7s
would devote their surplus energies to
the passage of such legislation as will
enable the United States government
to keep good faith with its disabled
soldiers and sailors it would be a
much more useful service than endeav-
oring to gain notoriety by "lambast-
ing" judge for whom every one has
the highest respect.
There are bills pending before Con-
gress now which ain, to accomplish the
consolidation Of the different govern
mental bureaus dealing with disabled
| soldiers, and considerable apprehen-
sion is felt that these bills will not
be reached during the present session.
The manner in which the government
fas failed to make good its promises
t. the men who served in the war Is
an example OF about as bad breach
of faith as the United States ever has
been guilty OF. If any one doubts this
, let him read the results of investiga-
tions made by The American Legion
Weekly
Since July, 1920, have been endeav-
oring to obtain compensation for q SOL
oicr who was one Of the survivors of
the Tuscania. He has received no sat-
isfaction whatever beyond having his
claim buffeted about from one bureau
to another, with continual demands for
afdavits, etc, containing information.
nearly all of which should bo ut once
apparent if the government consulted
the soldiers records, which it must
have on file. This is only one case.

these men are in privstion and in
