all matters of political right and economic oppor-
tunty where they still hampered their status left

the rights of the sexes
The next amendment submitted to the country then

AMERICAN GREATNESS

country, said
know.
Il don't think America knows her power in the world
today She is great beyond her imagination shall tell
the Americans just how powerful they and how import
ant this power is to the future of the world"
good to have frank talk with friend even though
that friend be suspected of patriotic desire to bend Ann
ercan sentiment unduy the interest of his country
And despite the egotsm Of which the nation often
csed abroad it probably true that most Americans have
little notion oft their counts present greatness and the
influence it is capable of exerting in the world.
1t is true also that with nation with an individual,
power brings responsibility OF him to whom much has
been given much required If America is great
Cemenceau thinks, it may do much for the rest of the
world without hurting itself Indeed there seems to be
growing feeling in this country today that nation
remain great without playing great part in world
affairs

A MINORITY GOVERNMENT

The impression created by the British election that
orty British people have declared for reaction is
wrong Conservatives most of the seats In parlla
nent but most Of The voters voted against them.
The Conservatives represented by the Bonar Law gov
ernent actually only 80 per cent of the popular vote
Labor party east so cent of the vote and the Lber
ais % per cent.
Thus these parties, which have far more in conn
mon with each other either has with the Conservatives
are together far stronger than the ruling party in the
tion not in the They work together in
legislation If they do the present regime destined to
short life If they do either the Laborltes Liberals
may grow strong enough to oust the Conservatives.
1t the popular will that counts in the long
gardess of election accidents, and rotten boroughs
Meanwhile no American should make the mistake of think
ing that Great Britain particularly conservative Britain
is more liberal than America.

Perhaps this mountain train runs
more safely up hill than down, for
as it goes there are two men stand
ing on the small platform (some-

it will run down to the shovelling
place by the side of the boiler, and
another sits on the front-perhaps
watcher for any rocks which may
have slipped down on the track. No
excessive speed is made. But COM

too quick to be funny. For the
comfort of the passengers, metal
tanks of hot water are deposited in
the compartments on the upper
course of the narrow gauge. This
gives the servants who do it an op-

made the problem doubly pressing,
for the Russian markets have little
clothing available and the supply
that is for sale is neld at prices far
ABOVE the reach of the average
workingman. Overcoats cost more
tran years salary. Some Of the
OF .anizations allied with the Amer
lean Relief Administration have
sent clothing for distribution in
Russia. but these contributions, big
as they are, have been "only a drop
in the bucket"
