The Three
RS in Peru

Our American educational
system can't be all bad In
spite Of the criticisms we
hear Of 1t at home. The gov
eminent of Peru--and it's
made UP largely of men with
European education - asked
Henry e. Bard, an American
educator, to become director
general of education In Peru.
President Leguia, Of Peru,
devotes much attention to
building up q splendid edu-
cational system in his coun-
try" says a prominent Peru
Wan official in Washington.
"He has stood behind DIR.
Bard in all efforts to that
end. with q staff of fifty.
five American educators I
believe that we shall soon
begin to show results in
Peru.
"Ds. cards ability and
tact, together with the sup
port of President Leguta,
have overcome every obstacle
imposed by persons who are
antagonistic to the advent
Of foreigners In the educa-
tional field"

RepIicas of
Our Pioneers

w HAT, asked the poet, consti-
wv tutes a statei Then he re-
piled, with poetic license:
Men who their duties know,
But know their rights, and,
knowing, dare maintain.
1t is difficult, as Siberians will
tell you, to maintain your rights
when Japanese troops control your
ports, railroads and other strategic
points and can outshoot you.
Yet in all natural essentials the
Far Eastern Republic, as described
by Robert Littell in The New Re-
public, constitutes such a potential
state as would have delighted our
pioneer fathers.
, In area third as large as the
United States, it has timberlands
sufficient to cover Wisconsin, Mich
igan, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Penn
sylvania, New York and New Eng
land; arabic land nearly equal in
area to New York and Pennsylva-
MIA combined, less than a tenth of
which has been cultivated; and un.
measured treasures of minerals and
furs.
Its 100000 people have set up
a government based on the free suf-
frage of more than 80 per cent of
the adults as expressed through
constituent assembly, but against
Japanese guns and blockades they
are powerless to make it function
freely.
This is one of the conditions
which will make for future wars
when the two millions shall have
grown to twenty millions or more.
If prudent, our Senate will keep
Uncle Sam from getting entangled
in that bear trap when it springs.

Government Ownership a
Timely Reserve

~ HE bill appropriating $2O,000,-
900 for the relief of Russian
4 famine sufferers wisely pro-
vided that the grain must be moved
in American ships.
Foreign shipowners were willing
to accept the freight at SIS a ton.
American shipping rates were then
Sc. Suddenly some American ship
ping lines announced an increase to
$3.50.
The two traditional examples of
moral turpitude are those of the rob-
Der who would steal blind mans
pennies or take candy from a child.
This effort to profteer at the ex-
pense of starving millions added
third--the worst of all.
Mr.. Hoover, in righteous indigna-
ton, went to the President to get
thirteen Shipping Board vessels,
now idle, for this work.
Then these greedy shipowners.
some of whom have been telling us
that Government ownership is
mistake, suddenly lowered their
rates.
Whether the grain is to be carried
in the Government-owned vessels or
turned over to the chastened private
profteers is perhaps unimportant,
but we hope Mr.. Hoover will not
let the hoggish ship operators have
q bit of this Russian relief business.

Why Not Make Us All Happy ?

Henry Ford can't understand why the Gov
eminent shouldn't print the sso,0oo,ooo or
S4o.ooo.0oo that may be needed for the develop
ment of Muscle Shoals. and let the develop
mont proceed. For our own part. We can't see
why the Government doesn't quit collecting
an income tax from us and print the money It
may need TO cover our assessment.

WONT THAT BE NICE?
BY 8. Il. KISER.

OMAN wants but little here bslewr
AVA Once that perhaps. was true;
A little went far, long ago.
When proAteers were few;
With little, then, men chung to pride
And rot along somehow.
But Il 10 not to be denied
That much 10 needed now.
THERE was . time when coal was net
= Worth quite its weight in gold,
When bacon did not cost lot
And bread was ehesply sold
when pork and beans and milk and cheese
Had not, in fact attained
place among the luxuries
From which the poor sbstainsd.
MAN needs fortune here below
AVA To live in comfort now; ~
No wonder that the wrinkles show
So deeply on his brow;
He has to have . lot to keep
Starvation from his door;
There was . time when prunes were cheap
They're not 30 any more.
DUT Dausherty and Mellon say
- That prices must descend;
They think that they have found way
To make the Gouging end;
They'll coax the groeers to be nice.
And let the robbing stop;
Now watch and see how soon the price
OF everything will drop.

The Touch
of Midas
CHENERY, in a re.

United States to Mldas, the
Phrygian king, to whom was given
the power to turn everything into
gold which he touched, and discov-
cred that he could not drink or eat
gold. -
We have good part of the gold
of the world. Mr.. o. P. Austin,
statistician of the National City
Bank of New York, declares that
the United States possesses about
one-third of the worlds gold supply.
Since 1914 the total supply Of the
worlds gold has not quite doubled.
During the same period the worlds
paper currency has been increased
more than sixteen fold. The conse-
quence is that the gold reserve in
thirty-six States is less than per
cent of the paper currency, while in
1914 it was 60 per cent. The total
amount of gold in the world held in
reserve with which to pay for the
paper currency is, approximately,
$8,184, 100000.
This is the entire amount Of gold
known to exist, and it is considera-
bly, more than one thousand million
dollars less than the sum which the
allies owe to the United States.
How they are going to pay these
debts nobody knows. They have not
the gold to pay them with, and We
do not want their commodities. We
have more commodities now than we
know what to do with. Farmers in
the South are refusing to plant cot
ton, and farmers in the West are
burning corn instead of coal. If we
could only get this gold over into
the other countries, they might pay
their debts with it. Yet no agency
has discovered how to do this.
George E. Roberts, vice president
of the National City Bank, says that
the possession of this surplus gold
is dangerous. There is no demand
for money for new projects. There
is only a demand for money to pay
debts.
at seems to me- says Mr.. Rob
erts, "that we are drifting, in this
country and everywhere else"
MEANWHILE" adds Mr.. Chenery,
"gold is accommodating. During the
last year we have added some eight
hundred millions to our already
large reserves, and we have made
the addition at the expense of those
who needed gold to buttress their
sinking currencies. We have ac
quired, in fact, the touch of Midas
and we in our turn are waiting for
some god to relieve us of the. en-
barrassment of our riches"

CarsOn's Humiliation
ShOLUS Irish Triumph

w HEN the proposal to establish
w an Irish Free State was de-
" bated in the House of Lords,
the honor of presenting the compro-
mise between Ireland and England
was given to Lord Morley, the last
living associate of Gladstone in the
old fight for Irish Home Rule.
Lord Morley is now an old man,
but newspaper reports say that he
: rose to the occasion, his memory re-
juvenating him as it called back the
ancient struggles.
Lord Carson, formerly "Sir Ed
ward" the privileged traitor" of
1914, is now a member of the House
of Lords, enjoying the progressive
rewards for his treason. He replied
to Morley on behalf of Ulster. 1t is
interesting to read what he says,
because it will give us some idea of
the extent Of the victory which the
resolution Of the people of Ireland
and the skill and courage of their
leaders have wrought. Carson
shouted:
Not a soul in this house
believes that the peace terms
have been passed on their
merits. They we're passed with
revolver at the heads of min
isters. You passed them be-
cause Sim Fein, with its army
in Ireland, has beaten you.
Then why don't you say soa
But you have said so. The
great British Government has
been reduced to telling India,
Egypt and everybody else that
they have not got men enough
or the pluck to restore LAM and
order in Ireland.
1t was less than five years ago
that the British were shooting the
intellectual leaders of Ireland with
out trial, and Home Rule seemed
farther away than ever. Ireland's
victory proves the truth Of two say
ings of very sage philosophers:
at is always darkest just before
dawn" and "The worse a thing is,
the better it is"
