ONE POSSIBLE PUNISHMENT

There are rumors that Grover Cleveland Bergdoll, draft dodger. Is
 on his way to this country; there arc
 rumors that he has been in Seattle.
 So far this man who escaped from
 prison and was reported to have fled t- Germany where 1t is said he was treated as something of hero, has received no punishment from this government. Possibly even his own consciousness has not punished him; possibly he may have had just a "corking good time' according to his own standards. Certainly he had had times of enjoying a good laugh at the expense of the government of the United States, and 1t would not seem foreign to his nature to make the most of those laughs.
 But his return to this country, if in fact he is returning or has return ed, would indicate that he did not find all that he sought across the ocean. A man does not return to face almost inevitable discovery and Imprisonment unless some impelling motive urges him. This country must have some thing he wants-something tangible or intangible. He is coming after it. The most simple explanation is that he likes to live here.
 Much is said about Christian for giveness." There is just as much time and place" for such forgive ness as there is for everything else. Such time, in regard to Bergdoll, is not now; such place is not the United States of America. The draft dodger will be punished when he is caught But in the meantime there is one form of punishment that may be inflicted upon him, cumulative as the days and weeks and months pass. That punish ment is that no one forgets him and HE D"0C dCtiouS ht LHc LlIne when splendid men and women of this coun- try were fighting the enemy. The effect of this punishment will follow him always, for he will have knowledge of 1t, until the day he is caught. Then more practical punishment, the result of our remembering, will come behind prison bars.

WHAT'S GOING ON
 N THE WORLD
Events of the Week Briefly Told
EUROPEAN FINANCIAL
 TANGLE

Europe may leave 1t to the United States to decide how much Germany must pay In war damages to the allies.
 The peace treaty fixed an amount but the agreement hasn't been kept
 Germany insists 1t is absolutely im- possible. France says 1t isn't. Eng land Isn't sure,
 This uncertainty is the worlds prin- cipal ailment today
 The interested countries could make up their minds what to do about a definite sum. The Germans would know where they stood--how much they must turn over to the allies and how much they could keep for them selves. The allies would know what to count on.
 But as 1t Is. no country can do any thing that calls for money or credit, because none of them has the least idea how much it's got, or can get. or keep. =
 So, naturally, business stands still.
 If the United States, as a disinter- ested outsider, could settle this diff culty, 1t would be the salvation of all parties concerned. However, it's Q very ticklish situation to mix into.

WILSON'S BIRTHDAY.

Former President Woodrow Wilson is sixty-six years old today. There was time few years ago, when reference to his birthday would have been deemed giving undue inpor- tance to a comparatively unimpor- tant event. Much of the ill-will that was felt toward MT. Wilson has been forgotten. Some men are just as positive, perhaps, that he made many mistakes; that his egotism, develop ing as the years passed, prevented his accomplishing much that he would have been able to do were it not for that fault; that he sought to make a practical dictatorship out of the Presidency These and many other criticisms were made of him. His admirers are still his admirers, how ever. To them noting of the ami versary of his birth would have been proper at any time.
 But today many of those who were critics of President Wilson when he was in office, and critics of all he did because he did it, have come to see that, above all else, he made con- crete the ideal of a league of nations demanded by the changed conditions of the world. They still insist. pos sibly, that the wilson League was an impossible affair, that this country
New Britain herald., 1922-12-28

might have entered an association looking 10 closer relationship among nations had he been willing to conn promise. But they do sec now, as President Harding sees, 1t is believed, as men Of all classes and pursuits in this country see and even as Senator Borah, that powerful opponent Of all league" ideals sees. that the thought in former President Wilson's mind has prevailed. If for no other req son than this the anniversary of his birth should be remembered.

 I have a clipping from your paper of recent date, based upon statements of Rev. Walters, respecting the work of the Baptists (colored) of New Britain. Of course, MT. Walters is a very old man and we are charitable enough to overlook some things. but we do not feel however hard pressed he might be for money, that he should dabble in the affairs of the Baptists in his desperate charge for money.

SEEKS TO END BLOC RULE

Benito Mussolini, the new premier of Italy, has caused a sensation among statesmen by proposing action to abolish bloc government" in his country.
 The idea is this:
 Most European countries have so many political parties that. after an election. their various parliaments generally include lot of little groups no one of which is stronger than all the others put together. This means that nobody has a parliamentary ma jority, and the only. way the adminis- tration can do anything is to com bine it's strength with the strength of some other group. Naturally these combinations are always in danger of going to pieces and the administra- tion consequently never feels safe for minute.
 Mussolini's plan is to give the gov- ernment, or administration, party three-fifths of the parliamentary votes whether it has that many elected members or not.
 The proposal verges on the revolu- tionary. It has che advantage of making for strong government" hut certainly is In disregard of the rights of big groups of voters.

 Borah says these preparations are going right ahead and he declares he's afraid of them, as he considers that they lead toward wars.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK GOOD

As 1922 draws to a close, men prominent in American trade affairs naturally are talking good deal about prospects for next year. AL
 most without exception they speak livery hopefully. They do not look for a business boom" and it's just as well
 that they don't, because "booms'
 have tendency to burst and care- full flnanciers, manufacturers and merchants, though they may make the most of them while they last don't like them. But they do look for a steady, safe development of the |country's prosperity.
 The holiday business Is reported in many leading cities as having been the largest in years. This is a clear sign that people have plenty of money and are confident of good times to come.
 There always is period of dull- ness just after Christmas. It's ex- pected this season, as usual, and will worry nobody All business men are sure that it won't last too long, and all indications are that it won't hap pen.

QUESTION OF LOAN TO
 GERMANY

The next thing would be for Ger many to raise a loan, to begin paying off the money.
 As high a financial authority as J.. P. Morgan has said the first thing to do is to reach such an agreement. He didn't say the loan would follow, but he did say that no loan could be managed otherwise.
 There's no doubt that the Germans and the allies both are hopeful the loan would come next. So, for that matter, are American business men, because Europe's troubles cannot but have an effect on this side of the ocean, as well as in the Old World, and whatever helped the latter would help this country too.
