Why Treat $500 Different
From a Hundred Thousand

The Importance of earning interest is no different
because your checking funds may amount to
than one hundred or two hundred dollars
The Importance of interest is always present 1t
is founded upon principle cardinal to that
capital should always be employed.
Start earning while checking, balance from one
hundred dollars up Two per cent daily balances of two
hundred dollars more; two and onehaf cent on
monthly balances of one hundred dollars up.
Open a checking account with your surplus funds, or
start with dollar in savings account, and build it up to
checking account proportions.

an interview extracted from him
by Prof. G. Zeilikowitz in the
lobby of the Statler Hotel, De-
troit, the interview appearing in
the Yiddish press. Prof. Zeili
kowitz described his meeting with
Edsel as follows:
"Mr. Ford" l ventured to ask,
according to what | learned
here, also in Buffalo, you are
against your fathers attacks upon
the Jews and also the program
of his paper. Is this true?'
Mr.. Ford hesitated before he
replied.
First" he stammered out, Il
do not grant any interviews. And
second you must know, that every
man must deal with his father
as with his country. Whether
right or wrong'-people say-it
is my fatherland which | must
Defend and never be against it

"Then it means that you are
not in agreement with your faith

tried to finish his unfinished SEN
tence.
ooh, no. My father is not an
anti Semitic he interrupted me,
this is proven by the hundreds
of Jewish workers in our factor
les, he is only against certain
class of dangerous Jews"
But" I objected, this is an
old anti-Semitic song: They all
say that they are against only
certain class of Jews, and you,
Mr.. Ford, know it.
81 will not discuss this subject,
but this l assure you, that if my
fathers paper sometimes exag-
gerates statements, the fault
should be laid at his secretary's-
Mr.. E. G.. Liebold-door. He is

to send eleven agents to Europe

the least idea of the nature of it
and haven't a desire to know it.
"You shift the guilt upon Lie

your father who upheld Liebold's
every act, writing, and all his
plans"

10 impossible for bank to liqui-
. date it's assets overnight or in
haste. Yet you have demanded

the sacrifice entailed or the de-
moralization incurred.
The nation is, in certain sense,
great bank. At any rate it is
the custodian of the wealth, in be-
ing or potential, of all the people.
The store is enough for the needs Of
all. But anything that interferes
with the orderly and systematic
production and distribution of this
wealth brings trouble and disaster,
exactly as interference with the or
derby functions of the bank brings
bankruptcy.
No one can speak more bitterly
than your average banker does Of
the folly of crazed depositors who
bring down a solvent institution to
ruin by a senseless "run." Yet
this is precisely what some Of the
great financial interests have done
to our productive industries by the
rigor of their policy of deflation.
Deflation had to come and had to
be forced. 1t is probable that no
return to normal conditions could
have been effected without some
loss and disaster. But the process
Of contracting credit has been cer-
ried to point at which even con-
sentative men cry out in condemna-

The greatest menace of the situa-

justice of our existing banking laws,
and to angrily deny the good faith

The Cost of Primary
Government Functions
BY BILL PRICE.

Statesmen stand on the floor of Congress and fever
ishy, ferventy insist upon dismssas of Government
employees means of greatly reducing the yearly ex
penses of the United States Government In doing
So some of them resort to the familiar old game Of
lambasng the workers of the Government and making
it appear that they so thick in some Government
departments they fall each other
During the days of the war; when Congress lavishly
appropriated upon request, millions of dollars were
squandered by dollar-a-year and others in
rounding themselves with unnecessarily large safs Of
workers The Governments pay rolls were chock-ful
of idlers and inefficient workers Some Of the older
departments however, were not allowed all the en-
poyes needed forcing regular clerks and others to
work many hours overtime The padding was all in
the departments and bureaus presumably engaged in
activities.
The days are over. In Washington the Gov
eminent pay rolls have been reduced by thousands.
Normal conditions have virtually been reached, but
that doesn't prevent occasional slurs in Congress and
oratorical spasms regarding economies that may yet
be attained by cutting off clerks.
The late DR.. e. B. ROSA distinguished scientist and
statistcan of the Bureau of Standards compiled the
most interesting document of recent years the sub
ject of the distribution of Government appropriations
He took the fiscal year ended June 80 1920 when 5000
more Government workers being carried on the
rolls than today.
The total appropriations for that year were $685.
005,7o6 OF this huge total the appropriations for
the primary functions of the Government Salaries for
President Congress, and all civil workers, courts
penal institutions, the Governments part for the up
keep of the District of Columbia) only $1810S7
225, 80 per cent That for every $50 collected for
the of the Government the amount paid out in
penses for operating Government departments was
$1.5O
In that fiscal year the appropriations for current
military needs 42413s677 25 per cent of the
total while the Shipping Board, the railroads, pen
sions, Insurance. etc, got enormous The obliga
tons arising from the war were CTS per cent of the
total, or $685. ,482,585.
The figures amazing in showing that in the dis
tributon of appropriations the cost Of the primary
functions Of the Government (which includes the army
of civic workers) is a mere pittance.

~ his always interesting and sug-
gestive column on Finance and
Business" B. G. Forbes, the other
day, called the attention of bank
Ners to certain facts in the financial
situation for which they have been
responsible.
+ What he had to say merits the at
ltention of people wholly outside the
financial community, for it is to the
course of action which he pointed
out that the present business de-
preston is chiefly due.
Everybody knows that the United
States has been going through a
period of deflation. That is to say,
| the controllers of credit in the ma
tion-and most business is done on
credit-ndertook little more than
! a year ago to check the speculative
conditions bred of war and to bring
down high prices by curtailing cred
it. The object seemed laudable.
But while it may be laudable to
crush noxious insect on a man S
head, it is unwise to do it with a
isledge hammer. The bankers used
something heavier than a sledge
hammer with the result that the
losses in many producing interests
in one year are competently estimat-
ed as being in excess of the profits
of two or three good prior years.
We would be glad if not merely
bankers but many millions of peo-
pie not bankers would consider these
paragraphs from Mr.. Forbes ar
ticle.

"run" on your banks.

Il Fine Lesson

~ HERE has not been presented to the world many
years such example of the power of steadfastness
united with righteousness to accomplish almost tho
impossible that being presented by the Irish people
You remember President De Valeras coming to America
We gave him splendid reception But know how little
then really expected Ireland to accomplish aRanst
the great sprawling British Empire
Many Americans presumed to advise Mr. Do Valera con-
corning how much to demand for Ireland from the British
Government Most Of those who thought that the demand
should be minimum demands were honest but Mr. De
Valera knew best
You remember how he returned like fugitive to Ire
land, like a fugitive in the night
You remember how poor and depleted Irsland is with
one half the population she had hundred years ago.
without munitions, under the very nav of the
British lion and crowded with British troops and with eoe
province disoyaL
You remembered our ssvsn years struggle vhsn W
nearly onethird IN population to tho then Great
Britain and three thousand miles away with onfy the
power Of sails bridging tho gulf and with ereat stretch
of two thousand miles of territory in which to operate in
which to march and countermarch, retreat and advance
You remembered that it took years of long and
doubtful struggle to win our Independence
But President De Valera and his associates with one hun
dred times difficulties has already forced the British
Empire to solicit conference with him. and he who WINS
dragged through the streets through the British cities in
chains only little while ago goes back under the
protection of the British Government like loyal alpoa
honored guest to meet terms of equality and negotiate
for his people with the highest of Brtans representatives
There in this great lesson in the power of truth to
prevail. What strengthened the hands Of Mr. De Valera
and his associates the absolute certainty that they
right and that every intelligent and fairmnded
person in the world knew in his heart that they
right no matter how little the Tory the Anglomaniac
might be willing to acknowledge it.
Whether these negotiations bear fruit do not they
show the power of the Irish republican army and the
effectiveness of the resistance which they have been making
to British tyranny.
If the people of India show equal resolution, they too
will be free In the meantime, those who have Irish blood
in their veins must be thrilled.

WHATEVER the immediate out
wv come of the negotiations may


w come of the negotiations may
~ be, one thing is certain-the
British government has recognized
the Irish Republic as a lawful bel
Ggerent Henceforth there can be
no more propaganda denunciation
of the Irish Republican army as
''murder gangs"
The truce was signed by General
McCready, commander of the Brit
iish forces in Ireland, and by General
Michael Collins, commander-in- chief
of the Irish Republican army-and
that one act established Ireland's
status as belligerent.
The immediate cessation of hos
tilities in southern Ireland proved
clearly that President De Valera
and the Dali Eireann are the de
facto government which the, people
obey.
ALI men of sense hope that tile
negotiations at London will end in
peace and the recognition of Ire
land's freedom. But should this
hope be disappointed, the Irish Re
public will have won a great victory
in the recognition of it's belligerent
status, and the United States and
other nations would be wholly justi-
fled in extending the same reoogni-
ton that England has extended.
The French attitude toward the
conference at Washington is not re-
assuring. The French insist that
they must keep their military estab-
lishment at its present strength
which is practically the strength of
Germany's military establishment in
1914.
All Europe was armed and equip
ped to the last button during thu
years prior to July, 1914, and there
was reason for the maintenance of
great military establishment in each
country, amid the universal environ
ment of suspicion and preparedness
for sudden war.
But today neither Russia nor Ger
many nor Austria is capable of wag-
ing war against France, and no
other nation has any desire to attack
her, Therefore the French military

attitude justifies the suspicion of
the rest of the world that the Ma
poleonic idea has been revived and
that it may easily become as great
a menace to the peace and liber-
ties of Europe as was the Hohen-
zollern idea.
In his address at the tomb of
Napoleon Marshal Foch apostro-
phized the conqueror in these words:
From the very tomb you are
still working for France, Our
flags are moved by the breath of
your imperial eagle as it passes.
Your mastery lessons, your obsti-
nate labors, remain unparalleled
examples. As we study and med
itats upon them the art Of war
assumes an evergrowing gran
deur."
That is the way Won Moltke
thought and talked. That is the
way the Kaiser thought and talked.
That is the way militarism and i'm
perialism always think and talk.
And militarism and Imperialism
are just as bad and just as danger
Gus and just as much to be condemn
ed whether they think and talk in
German or think and talk in French.
One of the most striking features
of contemporary European history
is seldom mentioned. That is the
remarkable recovery of Bulgaria.
Bulgaria suffered the temporary
ills of defeated nation. She was
stripped of rightful territory, dis
armed and put at the mercy of bit
ter and INSCRIPTIONS enemies. Two
years ago she was in a bad way,
indeed.
But, unlike Serbia and Rumania
and Greece, Bulgaria drove out her
former king, abolished royalty and
aristocracy, divided the huge land
ed estates, set up a Soviet govern
ment, made labor compulsory and
Socialism the economic structure of
the State-and is now the only one
of the Balkan States which is pros
porous, free from militarism and its
burdens and practically back to pre-
war conditions of production, trade,
commerce and prosperity.
