Advertised Once More

The writings Of Anatole France,
cynic and satirist, which for more
than a half century have flowed in
a bitter stream, have been placed on
the Vatican's Index Expurgatorius.
One can picture with what a grin
news Of the exclusion was received
by the new Voltaire. AS a profes-
sional blasphemer and puller Of
every variety Of sacred beard he
is hardened to rebuke. No change
in his habit is 70 be expected. In
stead of being cast down, his van
ity, that persistent quality which
increases rather than diminishes
with the passage Of years, is likely
to preen itself for new struttings.
What a chance for biting rejoinders.
The great Anatole in his later
phases has suffered from ennui. As
Alexander wept because there were
no more worlds to conquer, so he
has yawncd bccaufe there were no
more ideas OF institutions TO pillory.
He has not found it easy to avoid
repeating himself His plight has
been that Of Byron, who complained
he was driven 10 take upwith avarice.
The gifted misanthrope has been re-
duced TO the sorry shift Of cham
pioning Bolshoyism and its silly and
shallow program. How in his lusty
days he would have impaled Lenine
on his pen point. But now he sees
no better way to irritate his fellows
than to pretend 10 share Lenine's
views.
Now the Vatican gives 70 him a
chance to end his days in a blaze Of
controversy. His mordant wit once
more has an antagonist il can
attack without loss Of dignity. Hear
him exclaim: New audiences are
created for me. The sentences on
which work with a lapidary's skill
are 10 be read"
The custodians Of the Index, as
shrewd men, are, Of course, ac-
Quainted nth the modern maxim

Backing Up France

The Tribunes Paris correspon-
dent says that Ambassador Herrick,
who is returning to this country on
leave, will be depended upon by the
Poincare government to present
Frances foreign policy in its true
light TO President Harding and
Secretary Hughes. Probably no
better spokesman could be obtained,
since Ambassador Herrick is an old
and tried friend Of France and is
in sympathy with all that is most
commendable in Frances attitude
toward European reconstruction.
What France asks especially is
Americas moral support in making
this reconstruction possible. The
European nations are at one in ex-
pressing a desire to pull Europe out
of the bog. But when they assemble
in conference, as at Genoa or at
The Hague, some Of them block the
exits. The rebuilding Of the Cont
nent on the lines Of the Paris peace
settlement is delayed by fears, sus-
picions and distrusts.
France believes that the American
attitude toward recent European
gatherings has been eminently cor
rect. She agrees with US that there
is no hope in any conference at
which Russia appears with q sneer
for all obligations. Nor does France
blame us for avoiding conferences
whose object is to assist German
debt-dodging.
Our government has shown a de-
sire to help Europe in every way
possible, yet without contracting TO
relieve Europe Of the duty Of help
ing herself. Our moral support has
been given TO the maintenance. Of
the peace settlements, the collection
Of the German debt and the ex-
clusion from civilized society Of an
outlaw nation like Soviet Russia
Ambassador Herrick's mission will
be easy if it includes only the en-
listing Of American interest in
Frances efforts to uphold the
treaties and the new European
order. These are the fruits Of the
war, for which the United States
fought as well as the European
allies. Our chief concern in Europe
at present is in its tranquilizatior
and its conversion TO the doctrine
Of salvation through work and
thrift SO far as France champions
that doctrine she will have unquali-
fed American good will

Germany's Self-Made Troubles

Joining hands over the bier Of
Rathenau, a non-Socialist, the two
Socialist parties Of Germany have
coalesced. The division came in 1914
the Majority Socialists, under
Scheidemann, went Kaiser and sup
ported the war. The minority, under
Karl Liebknecht, saw the war as 1t
was and opposed il.
Since hostilities ceased the Ger
man republic, at least nominally,
has been ruled by the Majority So
cialists; actually it has been con-
trolled by the bureaucracy which
hangs over from Kaiser days and is
mostly recruited from the middle
classes. The Minority Socialists. al
though there are many exceptions,
have been tainted with Bolshevism
and have shown sympathy for Red
ideas
The reunited party will have $50
Of the 466 seats in the Reichstag
and will be the largest single party
group. With the allies they can at
tract, they should not find much diff
fculty in commanding a parliamen-
tary majority, especially as the
terms Of the union imply no further
paltering with the monarchists and
no more flirting by the independents
with communism.
Disgust with Germany's course be-
fore, during or since the war has
not blinded the world to the advan-
tages Of safe and sane Germany.
Only the foolish believe the charge
that France or any one else wants
Germany to be a wreck. To the de-
gree that the Socialist reunion in
creases, as it seems to, the likelihood
Of orderly industry in Germany 1t
is most welcome.
Most Of Germany's postwar
troubles are Of her own making, and
have little TO do with separations.
Her government, by floods Of paper
money, has debauched her financial
and business life. The Ebert regime
has been afraid to levy taxes. Not
only has it made production difficult,
but by charging the bureaucracy
and ny a system Of subsidies to the
unemployed it has maintained mil
| lions in economic idleness. So heavy
burdens were placed on the backs Of
those who effectively worked. Little
improvement can be expected while
this growing milestone continues TO
drag down.
VIII the strengthened republic
have the courage to act? Is the Ger
man intelligence sufficient TO let it
act? Or will there be more bread
and circuses TO quiet its noisy enc
mics until the precipice is reached?

A Great Achievement

The United States Postofiice De-
partment makes the highly impor-
taht announcement that not one ia
tai accident has occurred in a year
Of mail carrying BY airplanes.
During this time planes flying be-
tween New York and San Francisco
covered 1,750,O00 miles. More than
100000 letters, with a total
weight Of 1,224,50O pounds, were
delivered safely at their destina-
tons.
This is one Of the most notable
achievements in the history OF
flight. The element of danger has
attended the development Of the air
plane even to a greater degree than
it attended that of steam or gasoline
transportation.
Accidents in the air have been es.
pecially spectacular and awakened
hitherto unknown terrors, for man
was venturing for the first time into
the skies and risking death in a new
and hideous form.
What aerial mail carriers have
done to make flying safe will dc
more toward the progress Of air
plane navigation than all the stunt
flying that has ever sent shudders
through watchers Of the skies.
The record Of the postofhce fly
ing division is the best assurance
that can be given that the time is
soon coming when men may journey
across continents and oceans in fly
ing machines as on trains or trans.
atlantic steamships.

Drastic Action Soon

1.-THE public be damned seems
20 be the attitude Of both sides in
the coal strike. The miners reject
some parts Of the Presidents settle
ment proposal. The operators re-
jett others. Each side apparently
thinks that by holding out 1t will
force a settlement favorable to it.
Both hope that as Mr.. Wilson
quailed in 1916 so Mr.. Harding will
quail now.
Soon the President will have no
choice other than drastic action.
The country is interested in coal
and little in the quarrel. Sympa-
thy is not strongly on one side or
the other The prevailing feeling
toward both is annoyance, rapidly
developing into indignation. Whence
comes the right TO lock up fuel sup
plies?
The President will soon be forced
70 use a club. His proposal is
equitable and practical and provides
for an adjudication by a board rep
resenting both sides and the public.
The sooner it is accepted the better
for both the miners and the OPP
erStors. The time has passed for
owners Of the country's fuel wealth
to- do exactly what they please with
their own. The time has also passed
when labor organizations in con-
troversy with their employers can
lock up a vital industry according
TO their interest or caprice.
