America and Germany.

With Germany on the verge of
financial and economic crash which
might engulf all Europe. European
statesmen again turn to the United
States with plea for Intervention and
assistance. An Associated Press dis
patch from London says that while no
formal representations along this line
have been made. the subject has been
discussed and the hope expressed that
the United States might be induced to
lend its support to the project" The
dispatch adds that it Is pointed out
that little can be done by the allies
to restore Germany's shattered eco
romic structure without the assist
ance Of the United States
Americans are not convinced that
the allies have made any sincere effort
to restore Germanys shattered eco
nomic structure" On the contrary
the belief prevails very widely that
they have done their utmost to shatter
it. Nor is this belief confined to Amer
ica Sir George Paish, the eminent
ing in the Westminster Gazette, de-
clares that the entente allies, par
ticularly France, deliberately chose a
policy intended to prevent the re-
Covery of Germany, and that the very
success of their policy is proving their
undoing.'
, Now that they feel themselves sink
ing in the maelstrom of their own
creation they cry out to America and
beg that a golden lifeline be thrown
to them. 1t is not an appeal calculated
to arouse any emotional response on
this side Of the Atlantic. The United
States is now and always has been
ready to lend assistance toward the re-
covery of Europe. and the only reason
why it has not been forthcoming Is
because Europe has refused, or at
least failed, to make possible that it
could be lent effectively. But the
United States has not intended, and
does not intend now, that its own Sc
curity shall be put in jeopardy
through pouring its gold into the
seemingly bottomless pit that has been
dug in Europe. This talk Of Americas s
duty" to Europe is not at all con-
vincing. 1t is conceived in America
that the first duty of this country is
to remain sound and sane. primarily
for the sake of the American people
and then for the sake Of the rest Of
the world which is not involved in the
European madness.
Even more than during the perilous
days Of the war America today is the
hope and the bulwark OF civilization.
If Europe is to go down in wreck
Of its own creating. it is to the United
States the world will have to look for
stability and the essentials Of restora-
ton. Should the United States permit
itself to be caught in the European
wreck and its strength seriously i'm.
paired, then, indeed, would the plight
Of the world be desperate.

Campaign Promises.

AS the campaign for control OF the
next Congress begins, one piece of ad-
vice may appropriately be offered to
both parties. Beware of making large
promises. and particularly as respects
appropriations.
1t is to be doubted if either party
has ever found itself able to keep its
campaign promises fully in the matter
Of supporting the government. The
winner has usually achieved its vic
tory partly on a charge OF extrava-
gance against the loser. and partly on
a promise of economy If intrusted with
power.
: Then comes the awakening. The
winner, intrusted with power, is
obliged to make a thorough examina.
tion Of the needs of the government.
and discovers that Uncle Sam keeps a
big establishment. and that pride, as
we'll as duty and real economy, coun-
sells liberal provisions for its main
tenance.
The figures now are large-so much
larger than the pre-war figures they
are staggering by comparison. But
they must be met. and can be met
without the impoverishment Of the
people.
We can no more go back to pre- war
figures than to prc-war conditions.
Our rela tions to the world are in some
particulars new. and impose obliga-
tions we must recognize in our domes-
tic arrangements. 1t would not be
fair, therefore. to promise reductions
that could not be made without inn
pairing our prestige as a forward
looking nation aiming at world leader
ship in energy and productivity.

Street Slaughter of Children.

The driver Of the truck that killed a
child yesterday in a city street says
that the little fellow ran in front Of
his machine so suddenly that it was
impossible to stop in time. This may
be true, and the driver may be entire
ly innocent of blame in this fatality.
But the case serves nevertheless to
point to the constant need of care on
the part Of the owners of trucks put
into the hands of hired drivers to in
sure greater regard for the safety
rules. The chief danger in the streets
Of Washington today is from the
larger motor vehicles Of this type,
driven too rapidly and with little re-
spect for the regulations. They often
speed at rates far in excess Of the
limit, and gain such momentum that
they cannot be quickly halted when q
dangerous condition arises. Their
heavy structures are comparatively
immune from injury in collision. and
their drivers take chances that are
avoided by the drivers of lighter ma
chimes.
The peril of the children playing in
the streets is constant throughout the
day. 1t is impossible to keep the
out Of the roadways, short
of erecting fences along the curbs.
Drivers must take this fact into ac-
count, must reckon upon the posi-.
bility Of a child darting out suddenly
while at play, and 30 keep their ma
chimes under such control that they
may be halted in time. Even If this
slows up the traffic, it Is better thus
than to kill the little folks. The young
sters play in the streets that are not
badly congested, where it is always
possible for a driver to see them as he
No child will deliberately
run into danger. If the children are

they will walt until 1t has passed. It

into the hands Of each and every

his colleagues against three pecu-
liarly pernicious ways in which the

First of these comes the corrupt use
of money in campaigns, which has
been especially emphasized during
the present Congress And it makes
very little difference at which end OF a
corrupt money transaction man may
be. He Is guilty whether he gives
or receives. If man OF standing
and leadership is at one end Of the
bargain he is particularly guilty, for
he Is in a position to understand what
he Is doing. He Is not only taxing
advantage of a fellow-man and cor
rupting an individual voter. but he is
undermining the very foundation OF
our government.

"Qf a Vanished Hand"

The hired man has passed off the
stage. In the early nineties, before
apple butter and peach preserves had
become obsolete or the economists
he was an individual to be reckoned
with in every home. At the table
the family held back until the hired
man had his first helping to pie and
preserves: he went to Sunday school,
to 'literary" and to town Saturday
went to do their weekly trading.
Oftener than not be paid court to the
daughter in the home, married her
and took her to live on a farm which
he bought with his savings or else

the "hired man" received.
