Says Arms Farley Failed.

2, New York, Feb. 17.-Criticism of
the Washington conference on arma-
ments and far eastern questions was
voiced in an address tonight by Nor
man H. Davis, formerly under-secre-
tary of state, who said it had been
anything but an American diplo-
matte victory"
Davis, speaking before the council
on foreign relations, centered his at
tack upon the 4-power treaty, which
he declared left the British and Jap
anese fleets in control of the far East.
1t also would seem, he argued, that in
stead of getting rid of the Anglo
japanese alliance, the United States
had entered it, enlarged it and
changed the territory covered by it,"
One could not lok for peace in the
far East, he continued, until settle
ment was made of such questions as
the japanese occupation Of Vladivos-
tok and the northern half of The
Island of Sakhalin.

Says France Can Never Pay Debts to
u. S.

Baltimore, Feb. i1.-l'rank T. Kent
foreign representative Of the Balti,
more Sun, in 4 cable from Paris, states
that i'll an interview he had with
Louis I.ouchcur, former cabinet mem.
Der, Al. Loucheur declared emphati
caly that France never can pay her
debts. The United States bars French
goods and will not accept her cur
rcncy.
What are the chief dangers i'll the
way of economic reconstruction over
here?' NJ. Loucheur was asked
well, said NJ. Louchcur, the
chief thing OF which | am afraid of is
tina, there may be misunderstanding
OF the elemental facts III Europe by
America. You asked us to pay our
war debt. We cannot pay. We can
not pay now and we cannot pay ever.
No clear headed man with a real
knowledge Of financial facts, has the
rcmotest idea that we can ever pay.
The only possible way i'll which
we ever could pay is i'll our goods, and
you will not take our goods. We
cannot pay i'll Our currency. OH
won't take that. You demand gold,
and You have all the gold i'll the world
in your own vaults And now you
prepare to erect tariff wall around
your country that will still more COM
pletely bar out our goods. How Mt
tcrly illogical and consistent is the
American attitude.

Odd Fellows Enjoy
Fine Turkey Spread

A large number of members of
Dorchester Lodge No. 10, Independ-
ent Order of Odd Fellows, greatly
enjoyed a turkey feed last night af-
ter the close of the regular business
session. The big bird which weigh
ed close to thirty pounds was
brought to the lodge roo mabout half
past eight and as soon as the gavel
announced the close of the meeting,
it was taken into the room where an
expert carver with a very sharp knife
awaited it and in a short time tur-
key, Maryland biscuits, pickles, etc,
were being eaten in large quantities.
The Odd Fellows are making pre-
parations to begin extensive improve
ments to the property which the
Lodge purchased little over year
ago. from w. II. Meekins & Bro.
ThiS is one of the best located prop
critics in Cambridge, being situated
right in the heart of the business sec
ton of the city. 1t is reported that
the plans call for offices on the sec
ond floor and a lodge room, reception
room and ante rooms on the third
floor
The members will have another
feed sometime during the month of
March; no announcement was made
last night concerning the menu but
the committee promised a pleasing
surprise.

The OTHER SIDE OF
The BONUS QUESTION
The Banner Has Been Requested To
Publish The Following Article As
4 Reply To Mr.. Schaefer'S Letter.

/ Chairman Fordney predicts that
soldier bonus bill will pass thu
House, and that 1T will be satisfac
/ tory to all Republicans But MI
| Tordney fails to explain how a plai
fer raid on the Treasury OF such
magnitude as to endanger the pros
poets of business recovery could Be
satisfactory to any citizen irrCspec
| tive Of his political faith. NOtWltn-
| standing Mr.. Fordncy's faulty, the
! question with the people is not one
| of politics or political eXpediency, but
| whether the country shall be driven
| into or saver from, economic GhoaS'
| Secretary Mellon is on record az
saying that there must be a reduc-
| ton below the budget estimates for
1922 and 1928 OF we shall face he
| felt Of 100000, 900. To nation
! struggling under a burden of taxa
| ton that strangleS industry, it Is
not cheering to tell them that worse
is yet to come. Yet the Secretary 81
! the Treasury points to tn" figures
and bids US read. And thcn he tells
| US that the sources Of revenue are
drying up faster than the govern
mental expenditures decrease.
This is the situation while the
country is attempting to readpust its
affairs. It's struggles would not be
lightened by an enormous increaS"
in the load it is carrying. Facing
deficits and taking on additional eX-
Denditures is not theway to sOlvency
and full employment for labor. I'm
til our taxation is lightened industry
cannot prosper. 1t matters not how
a bonus would be met-saleS taxes,
short-term certificates or long-term
bOnds-it would be tax on the peo-
pie that would handicap industry
and add to unemployment.
The nation owes a duty to the dis
abled soldiers and the dependents of
those who paid the great price. This
sacred duty is being remembered.
The New York Herald publishes
figures showing that up to January
1 of this year, expenditures for these
purposes amounted to 81, ,447,-
600, while the government carries
liability on insurance amounting to
about $500, 100000. Ingratitude
is not to be charged to this republic.
Hospital expenses alone took $53,-
100000 of the 1921 appropriation,
but complaints are made that accom-
mOdatiOns are not provided fast
enough for the sick and for those de-
string vocational training. The rea-
son is that we are facing a deficit
and the sources of revenue are dry
ing up. And yet, the estimate has
been made on high authority that the
discharge of this duty alone will
ultimately cost $4,000 100000. The
country must choose between keeqing
this trust and giving a gratuity to-
the able bodied. It cannot do both. !
1t also owes duty to the other
millions OF citizens whose business
and perhaps employment and daily
bread depend upon the cOuntry's in
dustry, which now is threatened. |
They and their dependents, and the
tens of thousands of sick and disatl-
ed soldiers and the families of the
dead, demand thatthe country shall
keep its faith with them. This is
the only way in which the country
can be satisfied.--Tue Wall Street
