THE CHRISTMAS SEALS.

THE CHRISTMAS SEALS.
There is no more worthy cause than
the effort to eradicate, in so far as
possible, the dread disease, tubercul-
osis, Christmas seals are sold each
season to raise funds for this purpose,
tate to buy literally.
In Idaho eighteen counties are do
ing standard tuberculosis work and
have accomplished much. Outstand-
ing among the accomplishments the
past four years are the securing OF
legislation for two tuberculosis hos
pitfalls, the establishment of hospital
at Boise Barracks for disabled SER
vice men, besides the dissemination OF
information and the organizing OF
local work which enables the public
to better combat the dread disease.
In Moscow and at other Latah
county points the seals will be put
on sale Saturday of this week and
will be on sale until Christmas. The
work of the Anti-Tuberculosis as
ISOLATION is financed entirely by the
sale of the penny Christmas seals,
and in the face of the wonderful work
which is being done, there can be
no better way for an individual to
express his appreciation of what
Christmas really means than through
the purchase of these little seals. BY
so doing YOU are aiding directly in
saving lives.

OF COURSE, EUROPE WILL PAY.
Most of the trouble about cancella-
ton of the debts due the United
States from European countries has
its source right in the United States,
where number of prominent men
some months ago took up the idea
and spilled it around from the public
platform and through the press, that
we should cancel the debt in whole
or in part. This naturally stirred
things up somewhat, meeting with the
disappproval of majority Of Ameri-
cans, but encouraging some of the |
to see every reason on earth why the
debt should not be paid. 1t can be |
said to the credit of the European
countries, however, that this sentiment
did not eminate from public
sources, and the United States has
been assured from high official sources
that there was no intention on the
part of the debtor nations to repudiate
their debts. Along this line, the me-
chancellor of the exchequer Of Great
Britain asserts that our first duty
will be to settle our debt to America.
To the last penny we are going re
pay. it." Similar assertions have been
made by French officials.
There is no reason why these assur-
ances should not be accepted, an the
matter cease to be subject for public
discussion. 1t is not in good taste
to further question the intention Of
these countries to pay their debts.
Great Britain's trade balance has al
ready returned to the right side of s
the ledger and her good financial posi- [
ton is evidenced by the fact that ster- {
ling exchange is slightly below nor
NAL. None of the nations are able to
pay Immediately, and no one expects
that immediate payment will be made. :,
No one asks it. Undoubtedly, how 3
ever, the debts incident to the World Il
War will be liquidated as rapidly as |,
other war debts have been. Il
In official circles in this country Il
there is nothing to justify raising any
question concerning the collection of |
the debts. The Harding administra-
zion has declared itself unequivocally .
IN that subject No member of Con-
,ress has ever advocated cancellation
and no member can advocate it and
Iecure reelection. IL
