STCH A MESS

SUCh A MESS
o, dear and o, my! What mess
of it-the world is making, and America
is after all not the land of the free
and the home of the brave, as William
Allen White sees it. He says our CON
stitution was written for different
set OF people; that in another hundred
years we shall have an America for
which our fathers didn't die by a long
shot. We may come back to the U. 5. A.
and find not the land of the Pilgrim s
pride, but Italy, Greece, or the Baik-
ans, or all three gorgeously blended, he
fears
White also says that according to en-
listment figures, America is now ma
ton with 45,000,000 people whose in
telligence stopped developing at the
green age of IA. OF the 45,0O0,0OO,
probably 20,00o,0o0 stopped growing
mentally at II and of the 55,OoO,oOO
left, probably 20,000,0oo stopped grow
ing before they reached 16. SO we
have working majority of voters who
have children S minds, White concludes.
He estimates that this moron vote Is
today ruling America, without the
mental grasp to comprehend the Con
stitution written by the colonlsts VINO
fought the Revolution.

BETTER TO IGNORE ACT

LIVERPOOL, Sept. 4 (Assocated Press)
Commenting upon the closing OF the
American Consulate at Newcastle. the
Liverpool Post to-day says:
ut would be extremely regrettable if
any trouble, however slight arose over
the action OF our Government with re-
gard TO the American Consulate at New
castle. The United States Government
IS clearly not satisfied, and in
view OF the possibilities of controversy
1t would perhaps have been better If our
Government had delayed its action a
week or two
"One can hardly doubt that the Amer
lean officials were serving their country
with some excess OF zeal and our Gov
ernment was fully justified in what it
did; but for the sake of good interna-
tioNal relations it is vital that in such
cases the Government of the officials
whose conduct Is challenged should be
convinced that whatever action is taken
IS fully merited. One would have thought
that In any matter involving America,
IN particular, this consideration would
not have been ignored.
The American Government takes the
view that Consuls should help American
trade. But the awkward thing
so far as America is concerned. Is that
Us shipping Is virtually natonalized and.
therefore, Il might he argued that in
working for IL Consuls are not forward
