THE ISSUE IN ASIA MINOR.

1t Is difficult to withhold sympathy
from the Greeks. who are now being
made to suffer for the Allies mis-
handling Of the Near Eastern ques-
ton. The terms of the Treaty of
Sevres were the outcome of an ex-
ceedingly clever piece of special plead
ing on the part Of Greece. and having
gained her point. she naturally holds
that she is entitled to keep what has
been given her. NJ. Venizelos' one
mistake was the premature occupa-
tion of Smyrna. II was departure
from the realm of argument. in which
he had carried all before him, TO the
unknown and problematical sphere of
force. and it brought the whole ques-
ton. and the Allies as well. up against
hard and definite facts.
These facts the present Greek gov
ernment is unwilling to face. 1t will.
however, have TO face them sooner or
later. and. as the Allied Powers hold
back. il is the duty of Greece's friends
TO urge her 10 face them before 1t is
too late. The Greek settlement en-
bodied in the Treaty of Sevres would
never have brought peace TO the Near
OF Turkey and made no attempt to
look beyond Asia Minor. In regard
to both points the Allies were equally
at fault; but now they, particularly
Great Britain, have had to realize
that the Turkish problem is linked up
with the future of the Middle East
and OF Central Asia and with the
whole world OF Islam.
The real issue, therefore, today is
that whatever victories she may gain
in the field over the Turks, Greece
cannot be allowed by the Allies to
keep practically the whole of Asia in
a ferment of unrest. If without fur
ther delay she can appreciate this
point. she must realize that by plac-
ing her cause unreseryedly in the Al
lies hands she stands to obtain bet
ter terms than If she antagonizes
them by adding to their already. seri-

PUBLICITY AND SERVICE.

Very often those elements that are
of the greatest service to humanity
are overlooked or disregarded in the
hurly-burly of events which demand
public attention. Our sympathies are
aroused by hunger cry from China
or a disaster nearer home, like that
which recently overwhelped Pueblo,
and we hasten to help the sufferers,
but we rarely stop to estimate the
value of the agency that brought the
needs of the afflicted so speedily TO
our attention.
In this connection the alert and
ll-comprehending service of the As
sociated Press, whose far-reaching
influence is worldwide. may be
classed as FIRST aid in focusing at
tention on the scene of suffering. It
flashes the news throughout civiliza-
ton. and the people. through the
newspapers, like the Republicans. that
are served by this agency, im1nedi-
ately become acquainted with the
conditions which call for assistance.
IN this way publicity acts like that
one touch of nature that makes all
the world kin" and WHITES the inn
pulses of helpfnlness 70 bring speedy
relief to those who are in distress.
This, however. is but one phase Of
the great service rendered by the
press in gathering the news Of the
world and presenting II to the read
ing public. 1t is form OF publicity
that Is helpful to humanity. bus =

Always seeing the funny side.
That's the glorious way OF him.
Rollin hts head. with his mouth
stretched wide,
As quick to laugh as a duck TO

Whatever YOU say or whatever YOU do,
He'll answer you back with a chucke

seems,
Just chock fun of the gift o. fun.
An the angels send him their comic

Sos he can grin for EN- every one.
An his grandma says when he laughs
her down.
He's the disrespectfullest boy in town,
Laughed at the prayer that the
preacher spoke
The night Ma asked him to come for
tea.
Seemed TO think il was all joke.
An he actually winked his eye
at me.

An his grin is ready for every trick.

uNRULY .Go0D CITIZEN

John + Kramer. the retiring Pro-
hibition commissioner. speaks TO the
point when he says the problem Of en-
forcement is complicated by the good
citizen who constantly evades and
condones the evasion of the Nolstead
act and its variants. In New York
City the Prohibition laws are re-
spected by a few. the majority re-
gard them as a nuisance which must
be somehow avoided IL by the good
citizen Mr.. Kramer means the solid
citizen, the man who owns property
and pays all income tax, he is even
more definitely correct. Alcoholic
beverages are luxuries. as things
stand, and only the well-to-do can af-
ford them. Those who break the Vol
stead law are those Who uphold every
other law on the statute books.
The jury which lately informed
Judge Cooper that it would not convict
in any case brought under the Vol
stead law represented New York City
with fair accuracy. 4 don't think we
should be permitted 10 pass judgment
on such cases. said enc member, "as
most of US by taking a drink are just
as guilty as the defendants may be-"
The result of this deadlock between
popular opinion and the law may be
found in the records of $500 arrests
with arrests still continuing at the
rate of seventy-five a day-and one
conviction.
Decidedly the good citizen is not
supporting Prohibition.-New York

lAININ COOLIDGE.

Vice President Coolidge has sent
word that he will open wilmington's
Glazed Kid shoe Week if ne can side
track several other engagements. If
not-then we will have to have our
celebration without him.
Now. it isn't necessary to have Mr..
Coolidge, or anyone else here to give
Glazed Kid shoe Week an impetus.
The movement is growing like n roll
ing snowfall. But the truth is that
about 100 per cent OF the residents OF
this city want TO have the pleasure
Of welcoming Mr.. Coolidge.
In the past the average vice-Presi-
dent has been little more than a fig
urchead. Mr. Coolidge is something
different. lie is a virile. outstanding
American citizen who combines many
~ the qualities which we best admire
ia our men who enter public ufe. In
addition. he has a ramrod backbone
which does credit 70 his sturdy an
cestors. Calvin Coolidge has had sew
eral opportunities TO play to the mob
since being a public officer, ana each
time he has refused. doing instead
the thing which he knew 10 be right
in the long run.
Wilmington wants the pleasure OF
entertaining this man, who is every
bit as big as the Office he occupies
and a little more, too. Because OF
his own native ability he is one of the
foremost citizens Of America today
Can't we induce him to come and
spend a few hours with us?

FIRST DUTY TO HOME.

The obvious duty of American
bankers is to keep in close touch with
the United States government. TO ad-
wise it of all proposed financing by
foreigners in the American money
market. and to obtain from the gov
ernment fun information regarding
foreign governmental backing of oil
companies, steamship companies. de-
velopment companies. and other en-
terprises which are in competition
with Americans.
Whenever possible. American re-
sources should be generously lent to
Europe on terms which do not con-
stitute injury or discrimination
against Americans at home or abroad.
But Americans owe il to themselves
TO employ their resources wisely and
justly, in such manner as to keep
the United States strong and grow-
ing. in order that it may be able TO
befriend other nations.-Washingt
