LLOYD GEORGE ON AMERICAS
 RESPONSIBILITY.

Speaking in the Commons recently Lloyd George said Great Britain is pursuing traditional policy of restraint and moderation in victory and that if the balance had been upset in the Preparations Commis- sion and the League Nations it due to the ab sence from them of America. He said that the Yer sales treaty provided for consideration from time to time of Germanys capacity to pay at any given mo- ment and believed the present German Government is doing best recognizing that non-fulflment would be disastrous He said that America must be relied upon to secure fair adjudication she was the country with great trade and the only country with no claims in respect to separations.
 Llcyd Georges position is that of those countries in Europe which have direct interest in the settle ments with Germany and it is the position of Ger many, herself, and other countries
 There question that the United States must take part in the readjustments there or later. It probably would have been much better if she had not withdrawn in the beginning. However, that is past There is question whether or not the time has arrived when she should take program over Europe and ask for it's acceptance. It is certain that when she docs go in it should be with definite plans all worked out unless of course the European countries would work out and agree to something which we could accept Whether should enter into negotiaions wait for the European countries point where selfshness and desire and only general good of all is given first place in the conferences is the perplexing problem al Washington.

FIGHT FOR SUPREMACY IN PARTY.

Mark Sullivan, the famous Washington correspond ent and former editor of Golfers Weekly, thinks it is certain the progressiyes under the leadership of those prominent in the Progressive Party of de- cade ago. will capture the Republican Party. He points to the fact that victories of Beveridge in Indiana, Pnchot in Pennsylvania and Brookhart in Iowa, all in opposition to the regular organization and against strong supporters of the Harding Administra- ton, has brought progressive radical opposi- ton in scores Congressional Districts and against the sitting members of the House of Representatives and in many States against the Senator Particularly active campaigns will be waged in Ohio, New Jersey Washington and other States.
 The primary, more than those of ln- diana Pennsylvania. is encouraging the radicals There Smith w. Brookhar the extreme radical, got a plurality of to over Clifford Thorne, at torney for Farm Bureau Federation, the parent of the Agricultural Bloc in the Senate the candidate the conservative radicals. The standpat candidates, both prominent in the past Congress- defeated worse Henry w. Wallace, Secretary of Agriculture in President llardings Cabl- net, supported Thorne Brookhart, who opposes the Cummins- Esch Act regulating railroads, and favors Government ownership, too radical for Wallace.
 The situation in Iowa is similar to that in New Jersey, where George Record, more radical than the Roosevelt Progressives were is candidate for the Republican nomination against Senator Ere Hnghuysen close friend President Harding. Rec ofd, however is admitted, has good chance upset things as those who nave gone before nm, not because there is plenty of radcasm among Republicans of New Jersey according to MT. Sul livan, but because organization counts for more in that The situation in New Jersey is like it is in Massachusetts and Connecticut, where it is believed the radical feeling against Senators Lodge and Brandegee is likely work in favor of Democrats in the general election than to find ex pression in the Republican primaries with this diff ference: in New Jersey the Democrats seem certain nominate Edwards for Senator, and he is said to be distateful to the radicals than Senator Frelinghuysen account of his opposition to the prohibition amendment and Volstead Act
 It is generally admitted that the 1922 campaign is but skrmish and that the real fight for control Of the Republican organization will come in 1924, and in that contest, Mark Sullivan believes the radi- calls will win hands down.
 MT. Sullivan predicts that President Harding will not openly least oppose the radicals in their fight for control He thinks he will profit from the perence of former President Taft where the fight be- tween the two Republican wings wrecked the party.
 Whether the radicals will accept President Harding is another matter Thus far they have all de- cared allegiance him. Most of them however, declared for President Taft in the former preliminary skirmish between the two factions

Lady AstOr's Visit.
(New York Post.)
Washington


 Lady Asors visit to her native land was looked forward to as agreeable episode It has turned out an event Her humor, her poise her forcetulness her common sense her ideality above a her keen insight into the purposes of politics, have combined to give her tour extraordinary appeal chd import ance If there any doubt in this country of her qualifications for membership in the House ot Commons, it dispeled by her first speech here The only criticism to be made of her is that as the pioneer woman M. P. she has set pace that 1t Will be hard to follow
 A collection of the epigrams that have dropped from Lady Astors lips during her rapid transit of wisdom than books Her humorous answer to the question, Why is womans party impractical? is noteworthy illustra of her gift for cogent and sparkling phrase "Because,' she replied, there is too much man in a and too much woman in a man to make such artificial division possible Volumes could not say more say it half so well Last night she depicted cardinal but little recog nized fault of politics in sentence: If we content only to have Presidents fine, and to have less fine local politicians, making it awfully hard for a President to do fine things
 Lady Astor's great distinction, however, is neither her personal qualities her personal success. It is the participation of Virginia7born in the proceedings of the British House of Commons with out loss loyalty either the country of her birth the country of her adoption In that historic fact lies a lesson upon which Charles Sumner termed the true eradeur of nations, which will remain long after the echoes of Lady Astors ghtu visit have ceased to ring

CRITICISING THE GOVERNMENT.

Just before sailing for Europe couple of weeks ago Colonel House refused to comment the foreign policy of Harding Administration. He declared that people could not criticse intelligently when they do know what is taking place behind the scenes. when they cannot all the cards This led the New York Evening Post to say:
 The purpose of public criticism of gov
 ernment policy in a democracy is precisely
 to force all the cards out the tabe-if
 that is what really need What Col House presumably meant is that there are
 times when policy must work behind the scenes. Non-publicity may be applied to good
 ends Quiet may be sometimes essential. and
 reckless criticism may be the same time
 unjust and embarrassing to who are
 doing their best
 But the whole there is no harm at
 any time in criticism of the better kind
 criticism which asserts what ought to be
 done without accusing the Government of
 not doing it. If Government procedure turns to be in line with the public's demands
 much the better.
 Both Colonel House and the Post right Col. House think it right for to criticse the Government for the sake of embarrassing it. He thinks should criticse unless thoroughly familiar with the facts and from the familiarity is convinced that the Government should be rebuked. The Post believes in constructive erticism-in sug- gesions as what the Government ought to do. Criticism is not patriotic and is unworthy when for the purposeof putting the Government Fed sral, State or municipalin hole the purpose of making the Government unpopular. for the purpose of undermining it with the people and thus destroying
The Alaska daily empire., 1922-06-21

its usefulness Colonel House is entitled to praise for accepting this standard. The fact that he is a Democrat would not justify this of criticism just because President Wilson the victim of such a flood of it.
 On the other hand suggestive criticism is always in order a democracy. IL would have been perfectly proper fer Colonel House have said what he thought the Government ought do in certain matters, if he knew thought he knew, but that is not what he was asked Too many people, many newspapers, criti else others when they do not know what the others are doing or anything about the matters concerning which they talk violently.

One Touch of Human Kindness.
(NeW York World

The honors paid by the Russian people to Harold F Blandy New York City, the first American to sacrifice his life in the fight against famine in Russia, shine with a brighter lustre against the gloomy background of Soviet rule
 BlaInly died of typhus fever at Ufa and his body was sent to Moscow the first stages of its jour ney home. The casket, flag draped and half cov- cred with blue forget-me- -nots, raised a das and guarded by Soviet soldiers And in it's pro gress from the headquarters of the American Relief Administration to the railway station emacia ed refugees from the famine regions dofed their hats and made the sign of the cross. At the head of the coffin, in misspelled English, was mortuary tribute from peasants at Ufa
 Thus with combined popular and governmental honors the body of the American relief worker who had given his life to humanity sped its long voyage. It a tribute of national respect to deserve and the sentimental effect of which will be missed It shows the vitality of the one touch of human nature which makes the Soviet world kin with the rest

gees from the Selkirk colony in the
Red River valley by others; but a
member of the staff of the Minnesota
Historical society, searching through
old manuscripts in the library of Nc
Gill University, Montreal, has found
that the credit belongs to none of
these.
AS early as LOT, five years before
the founding of Selkirk's colony, and
twelve before Joseph R. Brown set
foot on Minnesota ground, farming on
a fairly large scale was being carried
on at fur trading posts on Sandy Lake
and Leech Lake. A letter written by
George Henry Monk on April Is, 1907,
describes his trip up the St. Louis
river to Sandy Lake and beyond to
Leech lake. With reference to the
Northwest Company post on Sandy
lake, Monk writes: "There are two
horses, cow, bull, and few pigs;
with the manure of these animals a
garden of acres of pure sand is cul-
tivated which produces about 22O
bushels potatoes"
He also writes that there was a
large establishment at Leech lake.
Five acres were under cultivation,
which produced 1000 bushels of pota-
toes, and 80 bushels of oats, cabbage,
carrots, beets, beans, pumpkins and
Indian corn.

meat. So he got de meat and put it
on de table. And vile he vas reading
how he should fry it, de cat stole de
meat.
"And so he looked in de book but it
didn't say vat he should do ven de
cat stole de meat. So he gave up for
to be a cook
Among the first residents of the
river village were many from "down
east Yankee" stock. One of them, sit
ting about the cast iron stove in the
village grocery, began to complain
about the large number of foreign
ers" who were coming to America.
Strandberg overheard him and wag-
ging his finger solemnly, inquired,
"Vas your ladder an Indian ?"
His ideas on matrimony were en-
bodied in another of his quaint stories.
"Ven I come here I used to wish
had wheelbarrow and purity soon
/ have tree. And den l VISIT had a
house and so carry boxes from Tom
Thompson's store-and den wish l
had a wife, but l tank one ban
enough"
Just as he said, he had built three
houses from dry goods boxes and scrap
lumber. These he rented, living HIM
self in the basement of one of them
and working in wee board mill and
shop run by an old fashioned water
wheel.
The old mans life was very simple.
His chief extravaganza was peanuts,
with which his pockets were always
filled for the benefit Of his many fri
ends among the children of the village.
Mr.. Bakers father had a beautiful
residence surrounded by vast lawns
and many flower gardens. Strand,
berg could be seen on any bright Sun
day walking back and forth in front
of this place, admiring it.
II am yust so rich as Major Baker,"
he used to say. II can look at his
flowers and lawn and dat is all which
he can do. And | don't worry about
it or pay for it,"
Strandberg had fine contempt for
American mechanics. He had learned
his trade in the "old country" during
the long years of apprenticeship and
his greatest pride was to mend a
broken saw so that no trace of the
break could be found.
bcSS dAhccS, Ac "oulu say SColH-
fully, "tell me dey could fix ting if
dey had de tools. If dey was real
vorkmen dey could make the TOOLS"
Mr.. Baker quotes several of the old
gunsmith's favorite bits of philosophy
which became village bywords.
'Ven I feel like finding fault"
Strandberg would explain, II always
begin vid old man Strandberg and ]
never get no farder."
And again, at was a good ting when
man know vas he pretends to know.
For the strange, the wonderful,
anything beyond his comprehension
the old fellow had one explanation
at list America" he would say. "It
list America" This was also his ex-
PLANTATION for any bit of good fortune
that came his way, for, though he
often longed to return to Sweden for
visit, he believed America was verify
the land of opportunity.
