didn't dare to tell old Granny Fox

would say. 1t seemed as though he
could hear her sharp voice and the
very words:
Serves you right for boasting

boasting? A wise fox never goes near
strange things until he has found out
all about them. That is the only way
to keep out of trouble and live to a

knowledge, and a wise fox always
knows whit he is doing.

grew. At last he saw the first beams

In the confused and baffling news
concerning the resignation Of the
BRAND Ministry it is not easy for an
American to discover the roots Of
the trouble.
Why the angry friction between
Great Britain and France? on both
sides is acknowledgment, as there
must be. OF the communities Of inter-
est and sentiment that link two great
peoples. Frances recognizes the
immensity OF Britain's sacrifices, and
Britain surely does not forget how
France. with forts OF living flesh,
barred the way to the onrush OF a
barbarian horde. In the brother
hood Of the trenches sleep together
the wearers of the brown and the
wearers OF the blue. So the cleav-
age can't be deep.
But why any at all7 France has
long cried out against the injustice
OF objections. when she was denied
pledges OF security. to her measures
for self-protection. But at Cannes
Just before tho explosions, Lloyd
George. deeming that British opinion
was at last ready for a forward step
loffered the asked-for protection.
Here was not material for a quarrel
Nor was the crisis precipitated bl
proposals to scale down German re-
lparatlon payments. Rathenau. the
German delegate. had been turned
laway. his pleas for abatement beini
dismissed with the clearest state
ment that yet has been made that
nation with St5O.0OO.00O.oO0 in prop
erty can pay $4,000. 100000 if it ha

Nor is there evidence that tn
split came because Russia was 10 h
relieved OF the obligation to pay tn
milliards Of francs that the Frencl
peasants advanced 10 the building n
OF Russian railroads and publ
works. on the contrary, the invita-
ton to the Soviet government, al
though highly Objectionable on mora
grounds. assumed that Russia shoul
arrange to pay her debt, and thus
not to be rated as anti-French.

EDITORIAL OPINION

money incomes in 1919 was only a
fourth greater than that Of one-half
the same amount Of money a decade
earlier.
From 1909 to the war incomes and
their actual purchasing power rose
slowly and steadily With war de-
mands began a period OF enlarged
production and imitation. Incomes
and their purchasing power reached
a maximum in the years 1916 and
1917. Then began a period OF dollar
depreciation which put the purchas-
ing power Of incomes back to ap-
proximately where 1t was just be-
fore the war White collar en-
ployees were now per cent. worse
Of than they had been in 1913, al
though factory and transportation
hands continued TO be considerably
better off.
The National Bureau report shows
that in this decade wage earners re-
ceived three-fourths of the total pro-
ductlon in wages. In industry and
transportation these payments ex-
ceeded so per cent, while farmers
and small craftsmen paid only an
eighth Of their returns out in wages.
This difference is due partly to the
fact that the trade unions in large
industry and transportation, notably
after the war. kept wages up while
incomes and prices everywhere else
had fallen. 1t is due also to the fact
that farmers and their families do
much of their farm work themselves,
and their retuYns are not classified
as wages. The report also amits TO
take into account the work done by
women in the household. II esi-
mates this work, however, as equi-
valent to about a third of the ma
tional production.
The National Bureau estimated
the part played by various branches
of production in the total national
income. Industry came first, pro-
ducing one-third of the national
wealth. Then came agriculture,
producing one-sixth; then transpor-
tation, one-thirteenth, and finally
banking. with one-fftieth.

What, then, is the explanation OF
the amazing rupture? The simple
one that it is an outbreak of a spirit
Of folly artihcially developed seems
as plausible as any other The folly
consists in yielding to the blandish-
ments of those who in both Great
Britain and France have been work
ing in the German interest and
toward negativing the wars victory.
In Great Britain the Keyes school
has steadily preached the doctrine
first. that Germany couldn't pay, and
lately that she shouldn't be required
to pay. Across the Channel, taking
note OF this propaganda. and also of
the propaganda directed to condon-
ing rather than to condemning Fol
shevism a large part OF the Fren 4
public has become infected with the
idea that all Great Britain was poi
soned. SO many Frenchmen have
been led to fear vital surrenders
first by Clemenceau and recently 10y
Briand-and their attitude has been
widely misrepresentcd as militaristir
and aggressive. Keynes and his
school and the overfearful of France
have thus collahorated to help Ger.

with its great future still ahead OF
il, that is an impossible situation.
We cannot have prosperity, our
countrys commerce cannot go for
ward confidently unless our rail-
roads are once again made pros
porous, are put in position to carry
the transportation OF the country,
and are able to attract the capital
needed for them to perform their
service as common carriers.
We have imposed upon our rail-
roads a network of laws and re-
strictions which has made their
rates no longer responsive TO the
changing commercial needs Of the
country, which has taken away from
their managers the power 20 exercise
initiative and enterprise. and which
has made private capital unwilling
to embark in railroad development
except under most rigid guarantees.

that the way to get results in liss

We should stop knocking our
railroads, our railroad presidents
and railroad men in general. The
railroads have had an awful drub-
blng, such as no other industry in
the history OF this nation has ever
gone through. There have been
evils in the past, but the damage
done in the restriction OF enterprise
and the prevention Of progress
through the laws which have beer
passed has been infinitely greater
than an the material harm due &c
the financial scandals which Were
committed. We should, OF course
prevent evil and scandal but we
must also be careful not 10 stih'

But no matter what has takei
place in the past, am firmly o
opinion that no finer and more con
scientious lot OF men was ever at
tempting to discharge their duueI

tions than the men who are toda!

Among the numerous facts for

proud is that in Warren G. Harding
