IMAGINE the entrance to our
Great Lakes a natural passage
i way, like the Dardanelles, both
shores, let US say, Mexican terri
tory.
Imagine the littoral of those
lakes held by a number of small
nations, having no other outlet,
and one great nation with no other
outlet open the year throughout.
Then imagine a group of distant
nations proposing by major force
to demilitarize the straits, and by
virtue of their superior sea power
to police the lakes at their pleas
ure, even to the point of blockad-
ing the great nation because its
government is not to their liking.
Can you think of the United
States, supposing it were the great
nation in danger of the blockade,
agreeing to such a programmed
For the Great Lakes, substitute
the Black Sea; for the United
States, substitute Soviet Russia,
and you get an insight into
Tchitcherin' action at Lausanne.
The time is evidently not far
distant when the effort to admin
lister the affairs of Europe, with
out considering the interests of
Europe's largest and potentially
most powerful nation, will be found
to be not only futile, but an absurd
waste of energy.

His Moneys Worth

~ ONE time ago the news columns
contained the statement of
~ gentleman in Mt. Holly, VT,
who lost his temper when he could
not get central on the telephone.
He ripped the instrument from
the wall of his home, dumped it into
his automobile, and then drove two
miles to the house of the telephone
operator and threw the fixtures
through the plate glass window in
the front door.
He was promptly arrested and
fined $25, which he paid, and agreed
to repair the door.
We should not be too hasty in
rondemning this brother. After all,
he probably got his moneys worth.
He may have come nearer getting
satisfaction out of $25 and costs
than the average telephone subscrib-
er gets out of the bill for $25
which he pays at the end of the
month.
Far be it from us to encourage
violence or lawlessness. We are
law-abiding citizens, and distinctly
frown upon anybody who breaks
loose. But just the same, we are
sometimes like the prim old lady
who listened to a roughneck pour
forth a stream of profanity when
the street car would not stop, and
went up to him and said pleasantly ::
Il thank you."'

What's the Matter
With Our Ships?

A TWENTY-YEAR contract for
"a bringing Chilean ore through
n the Panama Canal to the
Bethlehem Steel Company's docks
has just been awarded to a Swedish
company.
They were the lowest bidders.
The Bethlehem Steel Company s
own ships couldn't compete.
And that isn't all.
The Swedish company is having
built expressly for this work the
two largest mOtor-driven ships ever
constructed.
Do you think the Bethlehem Steel
Company is building them in its
great yards?
If you do, you re wrong. A Ger
man shipbuilding company got that
contract.
What S the matter with our ships
and with our shipbuilders?
Nothing serious, probably. In
this particular instance merely We
cannot meet the differential in
wages. Which illustrates once more
the American higher standard of
living.

Trend TOuard
Progress Sure
THE last election indicates the

"HE last election indicates the
direction in which the peo-
i pie want the laws to make
their way. No reactionary was
elected except when opposed by
another reactionary. No reaction
ary was vindicated.
All the great triumphs, all the
victories went to those who looked
. forward, and who recognized
publicly the principle that new
occasions teach new duties, and
that governments, like all things
in nature, cannot stand still, but
must move on or fall back.
Probably never in the history Of
the country have the men who
stood out like Senator La Toilette,
as great champions of progress
received such triumphant en-
dorsements as were given to them
this year by their constituents.
This is the direction in which
the great force of public opinion
is moving-slowly at first, but
with gathering headway. If we
can only harness it,, and direct it
intelligently, we can put the ma
ton on the high road of progress.
All over the country, men of
progressive leanings ought to be
organizing, without respect to
party, in anticipation of contin-
gencies which may arise two years
from now, when candidates are to
be selected and principles enun-
ciated by the great parties for the
national election.
If, in the meantime, there is a
powerful body of common people
organized throughout the coun-
try the old politicians will either
behave, or failing, there will be a
great Independent movement.

For instance, as everyone knows,
a newspaper is nothing but wood.
1t is made out of the tree as really

use the saw and plane, in making
the newspaper you reduce the wood
to pulp, roll it out into a thin sheet,
and bleach it.
The other day in Germany an
experiment was tried to see how
quickly the tree could become a
newspaper.
Three trees with birds singing in
the branches were cut down at
Z :35 A. NJ. The trunks were taken
to the factory and in less than two
hours transformed into pulp and
paper. At $50 A. M. the roll of
paper was delivered to the news
paper office. At II o'clock copies
of the newspaper, printed on the
paper which three hours and
twenty-five minutes earlier was a
live tree, were on sale in the streets.
