DANGEROUS PLAYTHINGS

On the 25th of last August the ZR-2
was wrecked in England while making a
trial trip preparatory to the undertaking
of trip across the Atlantic ocean to this
country. There were 66 persons on
board and all but four lost their lives.
The ZR-2 was the largest dirigible ever
built, having length of about 700 feet
and maximum width of about "a feet.
1t had lifting power of 85 tons and,
driven by six $50 horsepower motors, had
a speed capacity of 90 miles an hour. 1t
was equipped with fourteen Lewis guns,
had racks for four $40 pound and eight
220 pound bombs, wireless telephone
and a radio set. The passenger quarters
had comfortable furnishings and a Vic
trola. The American Navy department
purchased it from the British for 81, OOO,-
600. On Feb. Fl of this year the Roma, a
dirigible made in Italy and purchased
by our War department, crashed to earth,
the released hydrogen gas took fire and
"a people lost their lives. This occurred
near Hampton Roads, Va. The Roma
was not as large as the ZR-2. being about
410 feet long, but was the largest in the
world when it started upward on its fatal
trip. Its gas bag held one million feet of
hydrogen gas, enough to fill cubical
tank, 100 feet long, 100 feet wide and 100
feet high. Its motors had been taken
out and replaced by Liberty motors in or
der to drive this huge dirigible through
the aii at rate of speed which would es-
tablish new record. 1t is said that il
was expected the Roma would set the
mark at 80 miles an hour.

in part by people who, in political phrase,

THE WAR DEBTS

Advocacy of the cancellation OF inter-
national wsr debts is brought to the at
tention Of the people of the united States
with increasing frequency. All OF it car
ries the esrmark of Especial pleading"
and much of it is merely selfish propa-
aapda. Mr.. Otto H. Kahn, member OF
the international banking firm OF Kahn,
Loeb & Co. Of New York city, is report
ed as having publicly told the members
Of the National Institute of Social Sci
ence that We ought to cancel these debts,
s.all Of them" and that the other nations
should ''wipe them off their states" Fol-
lowine this. he said: If we lift this i'm
mense load from the back of Europe it
will yield to Us in dollars and cents fabu-
s}ous sums of money, irrespective OF the
reputation it will bring US for honesty,
The Republican journal., 1922-03-02

ency to satisfy the American people,
most of whom do not believe that lifting
'this immense load from the back OF
Europe" and putting it on their own will
bring to then fabulous sums OF
money" Our national reputation for
homes ty, fair dealing and generosity is so
excellent and ample that we do not need
to give eleven billion dollars to add to it.
1t seems to us that Mr.. kahn's PROPOSE
ton is not fair dealing nor Is IT honest
dealing MIR. Kahn also said: "We should
REQUIRE that useless barriers built up by
competitive fear and jealousy should be
removed so that trade can move freely
across frontiers" He not only wants
us to present Europe with eleven billion
dollars but he wants US to throw open
our markets to free trade, when a part Of
the gift will be used to force our indus
tries to the wall. We do not know
whether Mr.. Kahn is an American born
citizen, an adopted citizen or an alien,
but it seems to be plain that he is not for
America first. He is for Kahn, Loeb &
Co. first and all the time. The firm or
corporation of which he appears to be the
head was the purchaser of large blocks of
bonds of European countries and munich
palities. These bonds were offered on the
American market and of course Mr..
Kahn's firm desires to protect itself and
its customers and turn prospective loss
into a profit. If the United States can
be induced to cancel the European war
debt and throw open its markets to free
trade, the bonds held by Kahn, Loeb &
Co. and its customers will jump from
quotation well down below par to quo
tation considerably above par. And Lib
erty bonds will be quoted much lower
than at the present time. The United
st, ties has been wonderfully generous to
the pc ople of Europe and to the people of
China, but our government is, primarily,
a business, not a charitable institution,
organized for the purpose of safeguarding
the life, liberty, religious, social and
economic welfare of its own citizens. 1t
should deal justly with all nations but its
first and paramount duty is to 10 k after
the interest of "America first" These
facts are so firmly fixed in the minds of
most of our people that Mr.. Kahn's prop
uganda will have no effect.
There are great many people in the
United States who are convinced that
none of the European nations, except
England, can ever pay their indebtedness
to this country. Others say they can
pay, if allowed to do so, with goods in
stead of money. Both of these opinions
may or may not be true. Time and circum-
stances will settle that and we are will
ing to await the verdict. They promised
to refund their l. o. U. s into bonds. The
whole question of AL led Indebtedness to
the United States at the present time is

men. We have no doubt these two un-
ions will "sympathize" but If the Goa
miners are able to maintain a strike for
two or three months the sympathizers
will be out of job because railroads and
ocean steamships, except few oil burn
ers, will cease to run. and, instead oil
striking, the sympathizers will be struck.
Public opinion will probably form an ALI
ance strong enough to keep the mines 60
