Peace in the Near East.

AIO fixing of political relations
IN in the. Near East can be
- permanent which gives un-
checked power to the Turks to
terrorize and slaughter Armenians
and Greeks.
Sixty. thousand Greeks fought
under the Stars and Stripes. They
and their countrymen here will
deservedly protest allied deser-
ton Of their kinsfolk in Thrace
and Asia Minor.
If the immemorial feuds be-
tween Islam and these Christian
races cannot be reconciled by rea-
son and human sympathy, civiliza-
tion will somehow have to erect
asylums of safety.
The Allied Powers, with Amer
ica's aid, ought to be able to sup
ply the necessary "moral sua
sion" which will assure to Greeks
and Armenians under Turkish
control secure peace this side
of the grave. -~.-.

POSSIBILITIES OF THE soYA BEAN.

'Manna' milk from the soya bean is now
being made In Vienna at one-sixth the cost of
fresh milk In proteid carbohydrate and fat
content and in color, II closely resembles cows
milk being, of course, free from milk-borne
diseases Butter and cheese ALSO be made
from the bean and "manna" flour, one part OF
which equals in nutritive value two parts OF
meat and one third part of wheat flour. So, at
least, Dr. Berczeller, young Hungarian scen-
tist tells us. He deslgnates the soya as an
ideal food, containing 40 per cent aIbumen

A Great Building Boom
Just BEGINNING
BY BILL PRICE.


The Times can do nothing less than express pro-
found appreciation for many kindly words Of com
mendation-written and otherwise--on recent ed
torial as to the building future of the District
"Pessimism Gets Real Knockout
Coming from real estate leaders and business men
7-some of the former having strongly disagreed
with the attitude of this paper on the necessity
for the Ball rent act and continued drastic steps
to squelch profteers who have done more to hurt
this city than all others-the comments are all the
more appreciated.
We may, and sometimes do, differ on the housing
and rental situation here, but we do not differ in
the belief that Washington has great future, and
that the civic side of tour growth in population,
homes business must be taken care of by the hus-
Ting people of our own community.
We must do it, too, in the face of indifference by
Congress toward lending helping hand. We need
not be pessimistic because Congress fails to do
rightful share.
The basic growth of any city is in its increased
population, and that increase not come until
there houses to meet the demands. We gave
wonderful figures the other day proving beyond
question that pessimistic talk as to the Ball act
operating to prevent building operations is without
the slightest foundation; that building optimists in
this city greatly outnumber the pessmists, and
going right ahead with plans for the biggest building
boom the District ever knew.
These plans take full cognizance of the probability
that Congress will extend the Ball rent act despite
the heaviest propaganda against that extension
known. Outsiders have here ostensibly rep
resentng the National Real Estate Association and
flooding Congress with objections from real
estate interests in all parts of the United States to
governmental interference with regular real estate
methods.
This propaganda would doubtless succeed if i'll
advised owners of properties in the District, and
their agents, had not held up Senators and Con-
gressmen for the most exorbitant rentals By these
acts the profeers sealed their doom, and legitimate
fair real estate dealers of the District know this
to be true.
But as to building operations in Washington,
take glance at the dollars and cents represented
in building permits for the last eight years. and for
the first three months of 1922:

The Great
Creators


great minds.
Labor produces, but does
not create.
Capital does not create.
1t is mind that creates.
Even the Creator Of the world,
that First Cause which reason
forces us to suppose was not a
banker nor laborer, was a
Thinker. For God, we are in
formed, sis Spirit and a spirit
lis pure mind, not pure hands,
nor pure possessions.
The real wealth of a country
therefore lies not in its laboring
class, nor in its propertied class,
but in its thinking class.
We could name half dozen
Thinkers who have added more to
the wealth of the world than any
hundred millionaires or any hun
dred thousand toilers.
Take Edison, who devised many
things, and Bell, of the telephone,
and Elias Howe, who invented the
sewing machine, and Whitney,
who conceived the cotton gin, and
Fulton, who thought of the
steamboat, and Ford, who de-
veloped a great automobile in
dustry; these men have added
more to the wealth of the world
than all the Croesuses, Roths-
childs, Rockefellers, Carnegies
and Monte Cristos put together.
Says the Wall Street Journal:
Once Scotch boy gathered
some pieces of silver together
not many-the result of some
years of saving from his labors
as a plowboy on his fathers
farm. He walked to Edinburgh,
where he invested his silver in
linen and laces, beads, ribbons
and gaudy things, attractive to
feminine fancy. He made a
pack of them all, which he
belted on his back, and he
started out as peddler He
trudged to London. He ar
rived in dirt and in rags, and =
with big idea.
This big idea has since proved
itself the backbone of the eco
nomic world. It is the center,
the nucleus of world rebuilding
now. William Paterson was the
lads name, and from his idea
grew the Bank of England,
which laid the foundation of
the commercial prosperity of
England and made a safe, sure
and secure financial center for
the commercial enterprise of the
entire world.
And every man, in every bust
ness, everywhere, so long as our
economic system lasts, is, whether
he knows it or not, more indebted
to this mans one idea for his
own comfort and happiness than
to all of his own best exertions.
The great minds are the creators
of the wealth of the world. The
rest of us, reapers and users.

TWO Types of
COLOninLisn,


Gently reported that govern
ment operation of the railroads in
the Philippines is entirely sue
cessful. The report says:
Not only are the government
railroads making money, but
they are giving far better serv-
ice and paying much better
wages than private ownership
and management ever did.
This highly successful operation
by government has been going
on for FIVE years. The profits of
the railroads this year are almost
million dollars.
A still better financial show
ing could be made, but as the
road is owned by the people,
it is operated for service and
not for profit. improvements
are made with an eye to the
future, and are not restricted
because of the necessity of pay
ing dividends.
Would that the American peo-
pie could be as intelligent as the
Filipinos and take their own rail
roads and operate them by them
selves and for themselves.
When we took the Filipinos
from Spain we found them litter
ate and without the slightest con-
ception of self-government. We
have shown by the development
of the Filipino and the Porto
Rican in education and in their
capacity for self-government what
real capacity for colonial govern
ment is, and we have exploded
forever the wretched pretense
which the English have succeeded,
during $50 years of Imperialism,
in making the English-reading
Americans believe, namely, that
the English know how to govern
colonies better than any other
country in the world.
We look to the British white
colonies like Canada, and we see
their self-government and their
prosperity, and we think of Great
Britain as a fine colonial power,
because we think that the indie
pendence and the self-government
and the prosperity of the British
colonies is due to the magma
nimity and generosity of the
British.
But it is due to nothing of the
sort. 1t is due to the American
Revolution anG to the lesson she
learned about the danger of I'M
dertaking to exploit and tyran-
nize over a white colony.
Canada was her first white
colony left after our successful re-
volt, and she knew that if she
did not change her methods
Canada would throw herself into
our arms.
Her change of tactics toward
her Canadian colony, of course,
established the precedent for con-
duct toward other distant white
colonies where Englishmen mi
grated into waste lands there to
establish a colony. That the diff
ference was not because they
were "white" may be gathered
from the fact that Ireland at her
door was as horribly mistreated.
But the real test has been the
English government of strange
people like the people of India
and Egypt. In India, for ex-
ample, the English destroyed the
educational institutions in the
country, reduced the people of In
dia in $50 years from a literate
to an illiterate and helpless ma
tion, destroyed the prosperity, and
