Speciol Dispatch to THE NEW York HEsAlp.
WILLIAMsTowN, Mass. Aug. A.
! David +. Houston. former Secretary Of
the Treasury. took charge of the round
| table on the rehabilitation of Europe at
the Institute of Politics to-day. His
contribution to the discussion had
special interest as his first public ex-
since he left the Cabinet.
He maintained that the discussion OF
the cancellation OF the allied debts by
the United States was academic that
the sentiment OF the country as we'll as
In official circles was against 1t, and that
II is not helpful to picture to the world
that the United States. by refusing to
cancel the debts. Is standing In the way
of Europe's recovery.
Mr.. Houston departed from the text
of his prepared statement to remark
that he wished Earl Balfour's views had
been held within the European council
chambers. Afterward he explained he
thought this Balfour note confused
rather than helped in the solution. He
said the effort to exact the reparations
now demanded Of Germany will fall.
Mr.. Houston noted the fears, OF some
Americans that stricken Europe" as he
termed II, will drive the United States
out of the markets 'of the world and
threaten the United States in her own
markets.
1T Is stupid not to see,' he said. that
our aim should be to see how We can
aid Europe to increase her production
and her exports rather than adopt
measures to hamper her industries"
He said In part
Further improvement of production
in Europe waits on many things-on
pe ace on the return Of orderly govern
ment. on relief from intolerable ex-
penditures and impossible currencies, on
wise fiscal policies, particularly as to
taxes and balanced budgets, and on the
emoval of trade barriers among her
:wenty-six nations.
"Some Of these things Europe can now
begin to do II she will; and she must
do them In her own interest IL she Is to
get on her feet and move forward. IL
Europe is ever to hold her own in the
race for world service with America she
must perform number Of surgical op-
erations Sooner or later the nations Of
Europe must make up their minds to
live together in Christian and neighborly
fashion; and they must at least develop
an economic union. II not confedera-
tion Modern economic forces will not
operate fruitfully in compartments.
III we could imagine the States OF
this Union or even great sections OF II,
held apart as the States Of Europe are
to-day by hostile states of mind, by
trade and transportation restrictions,
hurdened with enormous expenses for
defense against one another we should
have no difficultyi in determining roughly
how our efforts would be frustrated and
our progress retarded. If Europe could
establish relations among her States APP
rroximately resembling those existing in
this Union 1t would be impossible TO
forecast the extent of her improvement

Woman's Love.

Not time itself can fathom thought that

Too deep for any word--the thinking

loves;
Not roses even. blinking at one morn
To greet the next sorry wind blown

stirs,
That she should give the youth she fain
would keep
For gain OF something that Is never
hers.
The years will come--and pass in dust
again,
And season after season will disclose

Torture in the Desert.

The Associated Press furnishes a
picture of one of the triumphs of the
Santa Fe Railroad crews that aban-
doned their trains in Western deserts
because the railroad company was
protecting its property with armed
guards.
Under the burning sun at Needles
the thermometer in the Pullman cars
rose to 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
A woman of "a, travelling alone
from the East to her home in Berke-
ley, sickened until she could scarcely
speak.
A man of 81 was brought almost
to the point of death.
For three days a frantic mother
worked over her IS months old baby,
for which she could procure neither
ice nor milk.
The 120 other passengers were just
as happy as you can imagine them to
have been under a brassy sky" and
whipped by "a hot breeze that dries
the marrow Among them we're
weak women, invalids, children; the
cross section of American citizen
ship commonly found on a transcon-
tinental train, guiltless of offense.
Was this an indictable offense. this
abandonment of 125 persons to the
torture Of the desert and to the death
that might have come If the rail-
roads had not found way to rescue
the passengers?
Surely 1t would seem that it was
indictable IL there is anything left of
statute or common law.

Is 1t a Declaration Of War
Against Society?

President HARDING has gone to the
limit in his efforts at Cancellation
that will avert calamity. Many peo-.
pie think he has gone too far. Some
people have been saying so with
more or less unpleasant emphasis.
The country as a whole is accepting
the attitude OF the President as evil
dence Of the gravity OF the case, ex-
planning his recent willingness even
to incur the appearance Of flexibility
for the sake of the major interest,
and, most important of all, OF his
underlying purpose to yield nothing
If the issue becomes an issue between
the people and the laws of the United
States on one side and on the other
the will to rule on the part of the
leaders Of an organized minority.
The circumstance that seems most
important in the later developments
concerning the railroad strikes is the
head of one of four powerful organi-
zations of that which had previously
been a matter Of suspicion only,
namely, that seniority is pretext,
that the protest" against the pres
ence Of officers Of the law at the
scenes of trouble is pretext, and
that the real purpose for which rail-
road employees are standing out and
doing desperate and shameful things
is the establishment Of reign Of
labor above reign Of law
"The issue, as we see it." says Mr..
SHEPPARD. president OF the Order of
Railway Conductors, lis the status of
the men on strike. We hold that
they have not been dismissed from
the service. that they have not re-
signed by striking, but that they
await a settlement OF their Difficult
ties and that all their rights as en-
ployees are suspended only" The
same gentleman in authority con-
tinues II am not alone express
ing my, personal views. but am Civ
ing expression to the fundamental
policy of labor organizations. which
is the right Of men to decline to be
of service"
THE NEW York HERALD holds that
the country Is indebted to Mr.. SHEP-
PARD for putting the fundamental
policy" so plainly See what It
means. The right to decline SER
vice." in his view and in the view OF
the small fractional minority of citi-
zens he represents. is not merely the
right to quit work and allow others
peaceably to take up the service thus
declined. II is theJright to go on a
self-granted leave OF absence. retain
ing full status until the demands OF
the absentees. however excessive or
preposterous, shall be granted under
compulsion Of public inconvenience,
peril or suffering. and then to walk
back triumphantly, as to ones own
possession. to the full enjoyment Of
pay. pensions. insurance, seniority
and all the privileges Of loyal and
continuous service.
And this unbroken status Is to exist
all the same. though II be reached
