Lloyd George Confirms

T LLOYD GEORGE HIMSELF has given the complete
Hand final answer to those internationalists who SO
keenly insisted upon our having a representative at
Genoa. In an address to the conference LLOYD George
drew a very gloomy and alarming picture of the
European situation, declaring that storms were brew
no other country could command, and that, cher very
aloofness gives her the right to speak"
Thus we have the confirmation from LLOYD George
in addition to all other evidence of proof of wisdom
in declining to be officially represented at the Genoa
gathering. The quarrels that now exist are purely
European. There is no contention by any one that
any of the European nations are engaged in contro-
versies with any of the nations of the western hemi-
sphere or with Asia. The quarrels are political. ex-
actly as stated by President Harding in declining to
send a representative to the conference. Notwith-
standing those factg, the internationaIists objected to
the United States holding aloof but wished this coun-
try to become a meddler in European affairs. thus
making itself a party to the brawls and depriving it of
that aloofness which might eventually give It tho right
ard the power to speak.
1t is a mere commonplace to assert that a party "a
a controversy cannot possibly be a peace maker. AL
though Lloyd George desired the United States to he
n participant in the conference. and put forth his hes,
efforts to that end. it is apparent that he now realizes
his mistake as indicated by his statement that America
could exercise an influence no other country could
command. This influence would be utterly gone Il
the United States were one Of the nations now en-.
gagged in the bitter controversy going on.
If Lloyd George intended to convey the irnnras.;o,
that the ~aloofness of the United States gives her :
right to speak today, he is manifestly in error ms,
ms he was when he insisted that it was the duty of thf
United States to enter the conference in the beoi,.
nlng. Anything that the United States might saw q,

with no likelihood whatever of good. 1t is not CERTAIN

The Mills Bond Issue

Following Is n discussion OF the
bond issue proposed by the town oil
Mills, presented by W. r. Hunt at n
meeting of citizens held Wednesday
evening:
I'VE are here to discuss and consid-
or h proposed bond issue for the pur-
pose Of installing an up-to-date water
system in the town of Mills. In Sat
urday'3 Tribune a humorous article
appeared regarding the Views of some
of citizens On the cost and nee
essity OF a water system In our town.
There was good a for the article
being written In q humorous vein. uhe
newspaper people having experienced
in their everyday routine of business
with practical business problems were
amused at some Of the statements
made by the opponents of the water
system. The statements, no doubt,
were intended to convince the voters
of Mills that the water system would
cost such n fabulous sum tina the
town of Mills could hope to Jay
for it. That the water system should
cost each person $500 struck these
men Of practical business experience
as decidedly funny. and they couldn't
resist the temptation to kid US a lit
tie regarding our hazy ideas on prac-
teal business problems.
The article serves only to make
the opposition appear ridiculous in the
eyes of h public Is 1t any wonder
when such statements are made that
they refer to u town as a hamlet?
And look upon people who make such
statements as qualified only 70 hold
office in a hamlet? We should be loyal
to u town. We should be proud of
our town. Mills is only three years
old. yet we have gained the conf
dence and respect Of such men as
those VINO are willing to accept our
bonds for SIC, 10000 % il we should need
so great a sum. for civic improve
ments-
Mills enjoys natural advantages
surpassed by no other city or town
in the state We have easy access to
an abundant supply OF pure water as
our town borders the Plato river. We
have easy access to the Burlington
n Northwestern railroads. The town
site joins one of the largest refineries
IN the world, which at present can
handle only a small portion OF the
production of a field, the resources
or which are almost unlimited. We
nave an abundance OF natural gas for
tho use of manufacturers at a min
imum Of cost, which is almost certain
