FIVE NECESSARY STEPS.

In an address before the Chamber
of Commerce OF the United States. In
Washington, Tuesday night. Sccre-
tary OF Commerce Herbert Il. Hoover
mentioned Ave steps which he deemed
essential to the recovery of Europe
from the disastrous effects OF the
World War. They were: A fair peace
basis, reductions in ornaments, bal
ancing OF budgets, return to the gold
standard, and settlement of the prob
lem of Preparations by Germany. The
meeting at which he spoke was UNI
usually we'll attended, by reason OF
the interest that had been melted by
the publication of the note by Secre-
tary of State Hughes announcing the
declination Of tho United States gov
eminent to participate In The Hague
Conference.
In the course of his remarks Mr..
Hoover emphasized the statement that
since the signing of tho armistice
America had extended governmental
and private loans to Europe to the ex-
tent of at least $4,000. 100000. and
that another billion had been ex-
tended in charity. This was his answer
| to those who have asserted that the
United States had held entirely aloof
| Had this aid mote been extended. Mr.
Hoover said. the continent of Europe
would have sunk into chaos long be-
fore this. He characterized the pos
sibility OF the United States extending
further governmental loans as "thc
most unlikely event on the economic
earth" Further. assistance, he said
and to gain this aid, Europe must flrst
establish the soundness of her institu'
tons. The wonder of It all, Mr
Hoover said. was that Europe ha,
survived the shock of the greatest o
wars. The fact that the European
countries had survived, he held, wa
proof OF the virility of their institu
tons.
Probably Mr.. Hoover Is right In hi
opinion that the limit Of financial al,
: which may be expected from thi
country has been reached, but thi
does not invalidate the duty of par
ticipating actively in the pending Of
forts at restoration and extending on
assistance by cooperation, whic
would prove of enormous value. TIL

, pended upon to do the rest.

THE BETTER MAN
Copyright. 1922. by Edgar A. GuesD


I didn't understand Il then,
When was eight or nine or ten
And little troubles came my way
NV kindly father used to say:
Sorrow must come to man and boy.
Don't cry about n broken toy.
Don't fret too much because you lose,
Don't whimper over every bruise;
Remember when they knock you fat,
You'll be u better man for that
When I had older grown, he'd say:
"Life's not a constant round Of play
And there is work for all to do
And many an irksome task for you.
The time will come when you Will find
That duty often seems unkind;
You will be told to work when you
Have something else you'd rather do,
But just forget your ball and bat,
You'll be better man for that.
| This is a lesson you must learn:
JOY is a thing which all must earn,
And it's beneath the heavy blows
That courage at its finest shows.
When you have something hard to do
| Don't quit until you've seen il through
Though happier you would be at play
Never from duty run away.
| Then, though you sprawl on failures
mat,
/ You'll be a better man for that"
Now I am older grown and
See with a somewhat clearer eye
Just what my father saw back then
In all the troubled lives of men.
| Hardships are builders Of the race,
Strength grows by what IL has TO face;
He only meets LIES sternest test
Who gives the irl0some task his best
Care does what pleasure never can
In fashioning. the better man.
