Compromise Conference
Nert

What Europe needs first Of all is confer
ence to hasten the process Of compromise which
alone can save the continent from general bank
ruptcy and disorder Such a conference would
no doubt be called to discuss economic and f.
nancial questions, but it would promptly appear
that such discussion would amount to nothing
until the major political issues had been cleared
away. 3ple of America in the political dis
cussionsNnuM necessarily be little more than that
Of spectator, INST as the role OF France in the Pa
oifc confidence has been that Of spectator.
Aftef 4 workable political compromise has
been cAefed ! compromise which checks the
drain tliaEau mperialjstic naval competition
would entail and which eliminates the disorders
produced by indcmnities that cannot be paid
America could afofd to take an active part in the
Capitalization Of European peace and prosperity
In % fsf IS American claims upon the allied gov
ernments represent crushing burden upon the
allied peoples America might properly be ex-
pected to entertain proposals for their remission
In the meantime it is just as well that congress
refuses to entertain such proposals There is no
advantage in taking the attitude of lenient
creditor towards nations whose policies, national
and international, are carrying them remorseless-
ly toward bankruptcy. Europe will have to try
in good faith to put her own house in order if
she wishes her difficulties to receive sympathetic
attention from the United States-Ncw Republic.

Economic Conference for America.

II is proposed by N. Stanwood Mencken,
president OF the National Security League, that
conference be assembled at Washington with
out delay to consider certain economic matters
that vitality interest the American people. In his
tentative agenda Mr.. Mencken lays especial en-
phass on the relations between this country and
Europe. He would have definite notice served
on Europeans that they must set their house into
order, disband their armies, give over plans for
increasing ornaments, debate their currency,
cease to speculate in exchange, and generally to
put their business on business basis. The al
ternative for this will be the Withholding of
credit or other assistance from the United States
Involved in the situation is the future of
American foreign commerce. on which SO much
emphasis has been placed. Our exporters are
now and will for all time be required to meet
European competition. Only as this can be sue
cessfully overcome will it be possible to keep up
any considerable volume Of export in manu-
factured gooda Our home market can be kept
by the application of protective tariff, but in
the open trade Of the world the advantage will
be, a. It has been, in favor Of those lands where
wages are lowest The monetary disturbances
in Europe now give to the nations there wage
rate far below that of America. Until condi-
tions have changed, and something nearer bal
=nce is restored, sale Of our goods abroad is
under handicap.
y What Mr. Mencken overlooks is that sue
ccssion Of such conferences as he proposes has
been going on ever since the armistice was
signed, with no noticeable result. One reason
for the failure is that our people, thoughtlessly
or willfully, decline to accept the plain facts.
Europe can not buy our goods, because, the con-
sumcrs over there have no money wherewith to
pay. For the most part they are bankrupt. In
stead Of the expected effort to remedy the bad
state OF affairs that existed at the close OF the
war, Germany has made matters worse by put
ting out such food of money" as its states
men know can never be redeemed. France has
INDUCED in somewhat similar orgy relying on
payment by Germany of reparation funds for
gold wherewith to redeem the billions Of paper
francs Poland, Austria, Czecho-Slovakia, Rus
sia, all are mixed in the mess Some time the
settlement day will arrive; then by process Of
elimination, like factoring in the schoolboy's
arithmetic example, all this huge volume Of
money will be wiped out With it will disappear
most Of the governmental internal obligations in
each country, and not few think that much if
not all Of the external obligations will disappear
as we'll
The United States Of America has $l0000,-
900 at stake in the form Of loans made to
Europe. It has the $7s,000,0O00O0 trade Of the
home market also at stake. Either of these is Of
more importance than billion or two Of foreign
trade. Little if anything will be lost by waiting
little to see what is done at Cannes.

Just Sticking to Facts.

One is interested to read in the esteemed
Kansas City Star that the sobriquet Heart Of
America has been bestowed upon that very en-
saging community by one OF its attorneys, and
that the title will stick. Why notl Kansas City
ought to be the heart of something, and it might
as well be America However, it does seem
absurd that an effort would be made to bolster
up the claim by asserting that Kawtown is
within short distance of the geographical center
OF the United States, and so is warranted in its
assumption BY reason of its being the only large
center OF population so near the spot.
As matter Of cold, clammy, scientific meas
urement. the geographical center of the United
States is very short distance outside the limits
OF the thriving little city of Kearney, Neb, fact
that has been known for years, familiar to hun
dreds OF thousands who have travelled on the
Union Pacific and observed the marker that de-
notes the place. Kearney has been commonly
called the Midway City" for many years, and
may not willingly relinquish the distinction, even
to feed the vanity OF "The Heart of America"
While on this theme, it may not be out of
place to note that the Los Angeles Times re-
Gently removed the Union Pacific headquarters

it is quite within the proprieties for Los Angeles

Andy" Pattullo: Policeman.

Andrew Pattullos long and honorable service
as member OF the Omaha police force was
ended suddenly, when death came in the form
OF heart failure. His great heart simply stopped
beating, having reached the end of its allotted
task overwork undoubtedly contributed to the
cause, for Inspector Pattullo was far from being
an old man, yet he had lived more than the al
lotted span in active, energetic, useful work. In
all the grades OF the police service he had been
tried and found faithful and efficient. AS pa
trolman walking beat; as detective, pursuing
and ferreting out evildoers; as sergeant, CAP
tain, and inspector, directing and managing the
men under his command, he was capable and
efficient. Several times during his career he was
under fire in combat with desperate criminals,
and in other ways his sterling manhood was
tested and proven. Those who knew him we'll
admired him more for the deep vein of human
sympathy that was under all his actions. Stern
and rigid in duty and as disciplinarian, candy"
Pattullo was well loved by all his comrades. be-
cause they knew how kindly the nature of the
man, how swift he was to help when help was
needed, and how firm he could be when once con-
vnced he was in the right His friends were
not confined to the uniformed police. for he had
wide acquaintance among the business and
professional men Of the city, who uniformly ac-
corded him the respect due citizen of use and
influence. And Omaha lost such man when
