REORGANIZATION

We hear constant assertion that this,
that or the other must be done to stop
those aliens who are assaulting our govern
ment. There is a great need for some
definite program of Americanization but
above all the Constitution should be made
a serious study in every school and home
in the country. When this is done there
need be no fear of the future. Right now
is when we need to be near the fundamen-
tai principles of our government. When
ever a country is coming out of a war
period, there is a long period of readjust-
ment such as we are still going through
The bolsheviks and agitators of all kinds
welcome such time to talk as loud and
long as possible to blame the government
for all that is wrong. To remedy such a
situation is not small task 1t cannot be
done by laws alone. 1t must be done by
education. That education should start
in the schoolroom where Riddles can learn
how government started and the high
principles for which it stands. But the
education must not stop there. All agencies
should join to put across real spirit of
Americanism. Think of the different
agencies. There is the church, the news
papers and magazines, the great business
organizations and on down the list. If they
all can get together and use the Constitu-
ton more as guide book than something
to be left to those who must necessarily
know it, national spirit can be built up
to which there could be no equal.

BIG CROPS AID BUSINESS

The looked-for depressing effect of the
coal and railroad strikes has not material
lied, large crops, authoritative reports
show, having been an important factor
in stimulating business activities.
This bears corroborative testimony to
the improvement in conditions that agri-
culture has been registering under Repub-
lican administration. Crops were large in
preceding years. But under the depressing
conditions, chargeable to Democratic con-
troll their size did not mean much.
1t is to adjustment of economic condi-
lions under the present administration and
to the Improvement in market conditions
worked by the emergency tariff and prom
ised by the permanent tariff that the pres
ent importance of large crops as bust
ness stimulant is chiefly due.

THAT II POUND TROUT

None suspected William Gibbs McAdoo
was SO unsophisticated but here he is run
ming his presidential campaign machine
into the creek.
The story of his supposed exploit is
commercially brief. Fishing off raft in
the Snake river he said he hooked some
thing. While it did not look like nomi-
nation, surveying his catch through, one
doubts not, rose-colored glasses, he dis
cerned rainbow trout of such alleged
dimensions that Yellowstone Park fisher
men are still dumb with envy, not at the
size of the fish but at the size of the story,
and Mr.. McAdoo departed,not by undue
complusion one hopes, for California.
Now how far do you suppose candi-
date will go who begins by telling fish
stories? Someone, you may be sure, will
drag that 17-pound whopper across the
campaign trail at the inopportune moment.
The public is content with comparatively
little in public men, but veracity, or at least
a show of it is insisted on. Mr. McAdoo
runs the immediate rick of alternating
all the thousands respectable enough to
object to chronological inexactitudes Mr.
McAdoo should know, at his age, that
Dragging about catching record fish is
likely to get him the hook.
No doubt by now he himself believes
he caught it.

JAPAN KEEPING FAITH

Japan is steadily carrying out her part
of the agreements arrived at at the Wash
ington ornaments conference. The evacua-
ton of Siberia by japanese troops is now
under way, and it will not be long before
that menace to world peace will have
been removed. The arrangements drawn
up at Washington and their practical ap-
plication should serve as an object lesson
to Europe. Siberia was no easier for her
than the sacrifice of some of the cherished
projects of European nations would be to
them. But Japan consented to her with
drawals in the interest of peace. Strikingly
similar situations are to be found in Europe
today, which should be treated in similar
fashion. If that course were adopted we
would see speedy end to much of the
trouble that now distracts the Old World.

WHY THE ALLIES CAN PAY

In letter to Senator Borah, Mr. Ber-
nard M. Baruch gives some substantial
reasons why the allies can pay their debt
to the United States RECEIPTS from Ger
man PREPARATIONS are to be $4,000, 100000,
according to Mr.. Baruch, which figure al
most covers the total Indebtedness to this
country if the allies were disposed to ap-
ply it to that purpose. Mr.. Balfour's con-
tention that the United States and the al
lies contributed to a common cause, and
therefore the inter-allied debts should be
cancelled, has only partial bearing on the
debt to America, declares Mr.. Baruch.
The United States purchased hundreds of
millions of dollars worth of war materials
in France and Great Britain for the use of
our armies, and paid Great Britain many
more millions for transporting our soldiers
overseas in British vessels. Those payments
were made in cash and not by loans OBJ
tanned by the United States from British
or French sources. A fair application of
the common cause" argument would re-
quire the repayment of those sums to this
country.
Furthermore, much of the money OBJ
tanned from the United States by Great
Britain was used in the building of her
merchant marine, from which she is de-
irving permanent benefit, and in buying
foodstuffs which were later sold by the
government to the British civilian popua-
ton. Money used for such objects were
in no sense contribution to the common
cause, and the cancellation of the loans
by which it was obtained can not be urged
on any such ground. Again, the war did
not become an American war until the
United States entered. Expenditures for
the common cause can be computed, SO
far as they affected this country, only from
April, 1917.
In his famous common cause" note, Mr.
Balfour presented discussion of interal-
lied debts that can be viewed from two
angles. The United States has never adj
mitted the principle that each participant
in the war should contribute to the victory
what it was able, but even if that conten-
ton should be granted for the sake of
argument, fair consideration of all its
elements would leave the amount due the
United States from the allies at figure
not far from where it stands today. The
legal right of the United States to repay
ment is unquestioned, and Americans have
nothing to fear from discussion of the
moral aspects of the case. In law and in
equity the insistence of the United States
for what is its due is based on the highest
plane.

A WISE ARSTENTION-

The American Legion is to be congratu-
lated for keeping out of politics. 1t I'M
doubtedly would be tremendous force in
weight in molding the affairs of govern
ment it it chose to throw its weight into
the elections, but it is to the best inter
ests of the organization, as we'll as of the
country, that it abstain from seeking the
control of candidates. Proof of the free
dom of the electorate from Legion infu-
ence is furnished in the Michigan primary
where a former commander of the organi-
cation sought the senatorial nomination,
but polled only about one-eighth of the
total vote cast.
