DEBT REPUTATION

Bonar Law, England's premier
says that Great Britain will not be
able to pay its debt to the United
States until Germany pays it's repara.
lions bill. How do British citizens
like reputation of that sort? The
United States can follow the same
principle by notifying the owners OF
10,OOO0O0,000 worth of liberty. bonds
that those securities cannot be re.
deemed unless the allied debts of this
country are paid. Of course, this
government will do no such thing. Its
obligations will be met in full whether
the debts due it are receievd or not
The difference will be that our own
taxpayers have got to put up that ad-
ditional amount, instead of having il
come from those to whom their money
was loaned in the first place
In other words, the taxpayers ami
consumers of the United States will
pay the war bond buyers the princi
pal and interest of the bonds, instead
of the people to whom we loaned the
money paying it. Great Britain is
backing down on it's statement that II
would pay its debts to the United
States.

Though it is nearly 1000 years since
the Prince of Peace died on the cross,
the world is far from being peaceful.
There is temporary lull in war while
an international conference at Lau-
same Switzerland, tries to patch up a
peace between Europe and the Near
East. But there are signs of amity
among the nations. Mexico is quiet
Asia is comparatively quiet; South
America is enjoying temporary peace
at least; there has been no revolution
reported in Central America during
the past ten days; America has no war
on its hands. But mankind has not yet
attained true peace after the terrors of
war, Pope Plus says. He is consider
ing the calling of an ecumenical coun-
ell in Rome during 1925, the next
jubilee of the church, to deliberate on
the cause of peace. While meetings
to consider international differences do
not always result in attaining the OBJ
ject sought, they tend toward friend
illness.

The Federal Farm Bureau, in a
literary survey of Wisconsin from
Washington, says that eleven million
acres of logged off land in Northern
Wisconsin, much of which would be
good for agriculture if cleared and
properly managed, is awaiting settle
ment by immigrants or native-born
'homesteaders. In speaking of the
process of preparing this undevelop-
ed land for agriculture, the bureau
endorses in principle the "Rusk County
Plan in these words 1.-THE most
feasible plan for clearing is to sow
grass seed first and use the tracts for
pasture. In few years the hardwood
stumps rot so that they can be re-
moved easily with but little expense.
