THE CURL-BEGGAR

"Wontcha gimme one O. them curls?"
he said
To every child with curly head
That he ever met. Thin he'd grin and

Expecting applause for his keen brain

While the child would cling to its
mothers hand
Indignantly; or merely stand
And stare at the stranger as If to say:
How did the old nut get that way! -
"Aintcha goin' t gimme curl?" he'd
squeak
And pinch the little one 'srosy cheek
Bere it SHE'D away to shield its face
In the most convenient hiding place.
And he'd chuckle around and think
he'd done
The cleverest thing beneath the sun
For fifty years he had begge da curl
From every curlyhead boy or girl.
We'll, give us curl!" he'd blithely
say,
Then shipper and smile in the same oil

WASHINGTON LETTER.
occcccoco ccc

Washington. That the United
States has ben active in promoting
world welfare instead of setnding idly
by, as charged by some, is asserted
by the Republican Publicity Associa-
ton. The association says:
This disregard of truth exhibited
by some of the leader sof the Demo-
cratic press is illustrated by the fol-
lowing taken from the Omaha World
Herald. published by senator Hitch
cock:
"'While the Allies have been bank
rupting Germany and bankrupting
themselves with heavy taxes for enor-
nous ornaments, the United States
has stood by, refusing to lend hand
to save the situation
"That statement Is not justified by
the facts. We shall not discuss the
issue SO far as it relates to the finan-
cial aairs OF the Allies and Germany,
but we deny the dispersion upon the
| goo uname anu uohoI III 'hS S'~"
States.
"The United States has taken the
lead in everything that has been done
looking toward a practical plan of re-
ducing expenditures for ornaments.
The proposed League of Nations was
league for war, not for peace. Presi-
dent Harding called the Washington
conference at which the leading ma
tions of the earth agreed upon a plan
of reduction of ornaments and the
news columns OF Hitchook's paper
have carried accounts of the plans for
scrapping ships not only in this coun-
try but in other countries party to the |
treaties. Newspapers throughout the
country have published pictures show
ing the process of destruction of ships |
of war. The United States and other |
nations have made provision for re-
duced personnel in both army and
navy, and this was made possible |
through the initiative of the United |
States. Yet the Omaha World-Herald |
would have us believe that the United |
States has stood by and refused TO |
help save the world from bankruptcy.
But the statement tbove quoted is
untrue if applied to industrial Amer
lea instead of to the government. Sta
tistics of our foreign trade show that
in the last fiscal year we sold Europe |
goods to the amount of s1,200,O00, 900
in excess of the amount of goods we
received from Europe. In the year
previous we sold to Europe goods %
the amount of $4,000 ,0OO,o 900 in excess
Of the amount of goods we received
from Europe. We certainly did not
get the balance in cash, so we must
have sold that amount of goods on
credit In the past two years, long az
ter the war ended, we gave Europe :
credit of s3,7O0,OO0,O00 when she al
ready owed US in government and pri-
vate accounts some twenty billions of
dollars.
But that is not all. We have not
only tried to help Europe through our
activities, and through
our captains of industry, but our phil ,
anthropical organizations, with the
cooperation of the government, have
sent direct aid to the suffering in both
europe and Asia.
1.-THE good people of Nebraska who
take pride in the good name of the
United States should present these
facts to Senator Hitchcock and to the
World-Herald and ask for an explana-
ton of the charge that the United
States has stood by and refused to
help"
