Reducing Rebarations
HE exceedingly interesting \

n
comes from Journal correspondent
in London that within the past week
the British Government has arrived at such
conclusions touching the Fench debt that
lit may now be accepted as certain that
France can be relieved of all payments into
the BritiGh treasury in return for full
practical settlement of the reparatons
problem That settlement Is supposed to in
clude, IL accordance with the recommended
,tions of the international bankers commit
tee which met in Paris last month reduc-
ton in the total amount of the reparations
to forty billion gold marks, or about nine and
half billion dollars, assurance that no coer-
Give measures likely to upset Germany's eco
nomic life will be employed, and a guaran-
tee Of sounder German finance, probably by
way of loan.
Complete remission of the French debt
would leave Great Britain with an extremely
heavy burden to carry, rendered the mode
difficult by announcement of her own share
Of German reparations. But she reasons, if
the reports be true, that the sacrifice will be
well warranted if it will but clear the way
to gertrude and prosperity. AS matters
stand, Europe cannot regain that degree of
economic vigor on which normal industry and
normal commerce depend. The German
problem is so uncertain, SO fraught with anx-
iety, and so far-reaching in it's effects that
not until it is solved or at least simplified
can any considerable measure of general re-
covery be expected. Preparations, being a
prime factor in that problem and the one
moreover, with which the Allies can most
directly deal, afford a broad and practical
basis for cooperation. France has relaxed
her once unbending posture, and appears
ready to talk business on modified terms. 1t
may well be, then, that much of Importance
will come from the predicted British policy.
America is little less concerned than Eu-
rope. Stabilized conditions across the Allan
tic would be reflected in divers improve
r6n0Ft
lied plans will not contemplate a remission
of debts owed to America. But we on this
side of the water could we'll afford, could we
not, to bear just part in rehabiltating
those forces of prosperity on which the
worlds common good depends?

The Status Of the Servant

10 fhe Editor Of tho Evening Public Ledger:
Sir-I see the discussion Of the serv
ant.sirl problem has been resumed and
the solution is problematical, when one
considers the different sentiments ex-
pressed BY servants and employers. 1t is
true the servant receives more wages
than the mill or store girl. but she has
longer hours, less freedom and less
privileges.
The advantages that the office or
factory. girl has over the servant arc
more than the equivalent of wages. II
the servants wages were multiplied by
lOO she wouldn't be compensated, be-
cause she confesses inferiority that no
0tner working class would think Of
doing. For instance, her living quar-
ters are entirely in the back part Of
,he mousse; she has access only to the
PACK door. back stairway; she eats from
DELI dishes and uses tin or aluminium
knIyes, forks and spoons.
Moreover. in addition to the family.
she Is compelled to wait on the trained
nurse, seamstress and the woman who
comes to do days work. Her en-
rloyer calls her Kate, or whatever her
name ,s, and refers to the manicurist OF
hair- dresser as Miss So and So. Then
there Is the strapped apron. the en-
blem of the servant.
Ihe war is responsible for the in.
creased number Of wealthy people who
were brought up in the environmcn,
where the luxury Of a servant is ab
sent. and. with their recently acquired
wealth. they can afford to indulge in
comforts that are a novelty to them

chair or couch and has to sleep in d
cheerless. hcatlcss and poorly lighted
room. The Maggie and Jiggs' elias.
or society seems to predominatc now
adays and some Of them betray such
lack OF etiquette that | would advise
them 10 read book on etiquette
They know as much about good man
ners as Kangaroo does about playing O
piano. and then they look upon a serv
ant as an illiterate plebeian person
who has no inferior.
The employers eliminate themselves
from being instrumental in creating
the servant problem. but they don't
hesitate to involve the servants, and
attribute its existence entirely to them,
Why have they the privilege Of NOT
having to furnish n reference. while
the servant must be guaranteed from
any standpoint: Today we read of n
woman who is prominent in social ac-
tivities. charitable work and all the
rest, and tomorrow We will read where
her husband is arrested for embezzle

inexperienced Mistresses

To the Editor Of the Evening Public Ledger:
Sir--I have been reading the inter.
esting correspondence in your columns
concerning the servant problem. pro and
con. and think it very difficult to ar
rive at a definite conclusion in regard to
the subject. There are so many incon-
petent servants. but then there are
many equally incompetent employers. II
Is true that the average employe. man
or woman. today seeks to receive the
ma Z imum reward for the minimum re.
turn. This lack Of principle seems to be
one of the many evil results of the late
war. Honor has fallen prey to selfish.
ncss and greed.
On the other hand. how many women
who employ servants know absolutely
nothing about housework themselves ?
How can they judge whether the work
is properly done, or II three or four
times as much food Is thrown out as Is
properly prepared for the table? How
can they know whether the servants
are over-cxerting or just wasting time
The girls of the English royal family
are trained in the most minute details
of housework. even in the dairy. II our
women were all so prepared to become
employers. impertinent maids would not
presume to dictate or take advantage Of
them.

Mummers Advertise Our CITY
TO the Editor Of the EVenino Public Ledger;
Sir-Please permit me to congratu.
late you on the editorial prociaimlne
the mummers' parade on Broad street
on New Years Day as "the greatest
show on earth" It is really a pity
that the big business men. and those
active in the affairs Of the city. dc
not recognize the tremendous advert!s.
ing value Of this parade, and the fact
that It brings several hundred thousand
visitors to Philadelphia. The same
amount Of advertising could not of
bought under other conditions for ter
times the amount Of appropriation al.
lowed. II is deplorable that the bust
ness people Of Philadelphia do not rec
ognize this fact when, recently. in ths
Pottsvillc journal. there was boast o.
the fact that the smaller towns II
Schuylkill County have awakened to th'
realization Of the great value OF tn
munlmers' parade. and rejoice over tht
number of people they were successful ir
keeping in their own home towns. who
In former years had come to Phtladel'
phia to see the parade.
If your paper and the other Phila
delphia dailes will make a drive for
greater appropriation. to be announced
in February or March Of each year
the mumners' parade which, by thu
way. can only be held on January
would be the greatest show in the world
and do much toward putting Philadel
phia in the fore rank Of all the munici.
palitics. ] am positively sincere In say.
ing that there are two fancy dressed
clubs parading the streets on January J.
either Of which are five times greater
than the much -heralded and talked. ol
Mardi Gras at New Orleans. and for
which the business men and residents OF
that city contribute more than three
thousand dollars annually.
Again expressing my thanks for your
timely words of praise and the hope
that you and your paper might. carry
on the good work that you suggested Ia
the editorial. I am.
II. BART McHTGH.
