NREXICO, under Obregon, is
N dividing land among the
peasants, an old, useful
proceeding. Lenin divided the
lands of Russian mobiles. That is
why he holds on to power so long.
The French revolution made it
possible for the peasants with
cheap, deprecated French money
to buy lands of French mobiles.
There are more landowners now
in France than in the United
States. That is one reason why
the French fight so well. They
own the country for which they
fight.
Charles of Sweden when he
went against Peter the Great took
with him to Russia an army of
$4,000 men - every one a land
owner. They beat everybody they
met, for they wanted to get back
to their farms.
With all respect to the Single

develops patriotism, at least of a

1t is easy to understand
England's chagrin and anger at
that treaty. 1t contains a clause
assuring Germany any commercial
concessions which Russia may
grant TO any other nation. That
illustrates England's intention to
come away from Genoa with Rus

secret.
Into paragraph 116 of the Yer

the right.to demand indemnities
from Germany.
France has been hoping that
some future Russian government
would seize on this paragraph to
take swing at Germany about
the time that she began to lift
her head from French indemnity
blows.
Also, France figured the Rus
sian government would more will
ingly agree to pay the Czarist
bonds held in France if Russia
were thus assured of allied aid in
collecting a huge indemnity from
Germany.

Frank A. Vanderlip in his book
"What Next in EuropeR" relates
a conversation he had with
Walther Rathenau.
Even the most conservative
bankers and men of affairs regard
Rathenau as one of the ablest if
not the most able man in Ger
many.
His father, one of the or
ganizers of the great Electric
Company of Germany, was one of
the most conspicuous figures in
German industry.
Rathenau is a Jew, and is sup
posed to be a Radical. But the
quality and vigor of his thought
are apparent in the following quo
tation from him reported by Mr..
Vanderlip:
1.-THE greatest difficulty in
the way of setting the world
right again lies in the deep
racial and national prejudices
of great masses of people.
There are a few people who
have international understand
ing, a few people with minds
sufficiently objective to reach
just international conclusions.
But the minds of the great un-
derlying masses lie solidly
frozen by prejudice. 1t is like
some parts of Siberia where the
soil in winter is frozen many
feet deep and under the sum-
mer sun softens on the surface
only for a few inches. Under
meath there lies immovable
solid frozen ground. The propa-
ganda used by everyone in the
last seven years has contributed
terribly to this freezing of the
minds of the masses and it is
those frozen minds that offer
the great obstacle to getting the
world back to orderly co-opera-
ton"
This is sound sense. We had
to whip up our national pride and
our provincial egotism to hard
gallop to carry us through the
war. Now the problem is to cooI
off our steeds and get them back
TO normalcy and hard work with
out catching cold.

A'~ Gently said two pat things,

ala could get her to agree to do
voluntarily at Genoa what they
had been unable to force her to
do involuntarily after four years
of blockade that no great nation
on earth except Russia and the
United States could have with
stood.
He also said it was strange to
see France and England pressing
so hard for the payment of the
old Cars debt by the Russian
people when there was no evil
dence of any attempt by France
and England to pay their own
debt to the United States, or the
interest on it.
He considerably did not add
that the United States, the richest
country in the world, pretended
to be too poor to pay the soldiers
the little remuneration they ask
ed, and yet felt too rich to need
even the interest on the debt that
the European countries owed us,
and which would amply pay the
cost of the soldiers bonus.
