World was dcmoralized by the war. Great
debts were incurred TO provide the armies
with food, clothing and munitions. Burden
some taxes are now levied TO pay the interest
on these debts.
1t is as silly to charge the Republicans
with responsibility for the financial troubles
Of the French Government as it would be to
hold Mr.. Wilson responsible for the disorder
In Ireland which preceded agreement on the
plan to set up the Irish Free State.
No matter what international agreements
may be made, the world will feel the effects
of the war for fifty years or more. And the
United States will suffer along with the
European countries. 1t is waste Of energy
to denounce the Republicans or the Demo-
Gratis for present conditions. II would be
better IL men Of oil parties would unite to
do all that is possible to bring back normal
conditions in industry. But, unfortunately,
1t is too much to expect such political dis
