La Toilette and Newberrv
The Wisconsin Senator'S "Holicr
Than Thou" Attitude

Than Thou" Attitude
TO the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Senator La Toilette Is very
severe in his comments on the New
berry case. He threatens to reopen the
whole question.
In the third Of century and more
that La Toilette has been in office he
has practiccd every.art of the politician
to make votes for himself in Wisconsin
and the country at large. To advance
his radical policies ne has made hun
dreds of misleading speeches, caused
to be printed thousands Of innamma-
tory articles, sent out his socialistic
speeches in Congress by the ton and
even established a magazine that he
might further bamboozlc the voters in
Wisconsin. There has not been an
election OF any consequence in his
state for forty years in which he has
not used his skill as q political manipu-
lator. His last attempt was de-
tcrmined effort to defeat one of the
oOACoS anu IuVSt ClACACut tuCtI III puD1lC
iife-Irvine l.. Lenroot, United States
Senator from Wisconsin.
The La Toilette propaganda has not
been confined by state lines. 1t has
spread into the ncighboring State Of
Michigan, where hundreds Of pens have
been steadily engaged in its dissemina-
tion. If its cost is estimated at. a mil
lion dollars the total will probably be
much too low.
Where did all this money come from,
used in costly campaigns of every sort
of publicity? From La Follette's 3
friends.
Now because the friends of Senator
Newbcrry, at time of national dan
ger, chose to make an intensive CAM
paign against all La Toilette stood for
by the expenditure of $195,O00, largely
for printed matter, we have the spec
tacle Of La Toilette assuming "holier
than thou" attitude toward Newberry
AS a good specimen Of hypocrisy in
public place I do not think this ex-
ample has ever been surpassed.

away. Unemployment cannot be re.
licved until the employers Of all trades
have the right to meet and to make
open and honorable trade agreements
under which prices can be mantaine ed
that permit the payment of a decent
wage and under which a fair division
OF current orders can be made between
mill and mill and mine and mine. Un.
til then the price cutting merchant and
the low-wage worker will dominate the
industrial world. Idle men will con-
tinuc to tramp the streets until some
day they tramp in unison and the saw
ings Of the thrifty, now intrusted to
conservative and responsible industrial
concerns, will depreciate day by day.
1t is up to Washington.

The Narrows tunnel will put the New

When the farrcaching effects Of this

Aside from a few connecting lines

mostly in existence and. given co-opera

of either of the proposed tunnels, the
project will be almost fully complete.

World Unity Far OFF
Some Progress Through a Leagu,
Here and a League There

Here and League There
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Your editorial "Lo! A Fresh
War Cloud" while somewhat humorous
and somewhat exaggerated as to the
feelings between the West and the East
as discovered by that new Columbus,
John Barrett, is worth remarkng upon.
If there is any amount of truth in
this hatred of the West toward the
East, when both sections speak the
same language and their commercial
interests are so closely interviewer,
what then would be the use of es-
tablishing a League Of Nations with
forty-eight nations, more or less, each
with national and racial pride, with, in
many cases. absolutely contrary eco
nomic relations and views?
If the United States, with its past
history, is to be divided into classes
and with sectional hate, unjustified as
it may be, no league of the world could
hope to be successful. If time should
prove that our own experiment of unit
ing forty-eight states under one Fed
eral government is in danger, then the
greater world Of united nations would
have no possible hope of existing.
You say rightly that "the pan-Amer-
lean league of nations is the only ac-
tive and functioning league of nations
on earth" But we may hope conf
IDENTIFY to add second league, the PAN
Pacific or four-party treaty, to that
shortly. Then if the European nations
can get together and unite we may
hope for pan-European league. Such
a triple league is all that at present
has any chance Of being Of benefit to
the world.
When human nature changes and the
spirit of the nations changes with 1t,
it may be possible to unite the world
for the benefit Of all in one league Of
association. Until then the part Of
wisdom is to accomplish what is reason
ably possible and not attempt the i'm
possible. The world was not made in
day nor can world unity be secured
except in the process Of time. The
angels sang 1000 years ago "Peace on
earth. good will to men," and yet we
have just had the worst war in all
history. Let us strive for world peace,
hope for it, pray for 1t, but remember
it must come step by step and not by
"vision." B.

ocoss. | beg to ask q little );cht IN
:hc subject. va
The American citizen lent his hard
earned wage savings periodically to
inc United States Treasury in time Of
need. For such loan the United State,
gave Our wage Garner United Stntcs
government bond. practically a note Of
h1nd. as security for this loan. The
treasury Of the United States in turn
'oaned these moneys to Europe, taking
credit obligations for security. That
such moneys were spent in tho United
States for American goods is inmate
rial. Why?
Well, suppose Mr.. Fur!ong horrows
800 OF Mr.. Smith and proceeds to
spend this amount in Mr.. Smith. hard
ware store for goods. value received
Mr.. "Furlong will still owe Mr.. Smith
500 for money loaned. Should the
amount be many times larger. l think
Mr.. Fnrlong would still admit the
equity Of the debt.
But let US get back to the billions
owed to the United States bondhold-
or ho hal Ia En-
taxed to pay interest on money lent
by him to the United States Treasury
and to Europe by the Treasury. Eu-
rope at present is even in arrears on
interest, to say nothing of paying
the principal.
Let US suppose Mr.. Furlong's grand
gift enterprise is inaugurated, what
happens? Europe pays nothing, the
| United States Treasury pays nothing,
the wagc-earning United States bond
holder is paid nothing for his hard
earned savings, lent to the United
States Treasury in time of need. United
States bonds are worthlcss-the hold
| ers are bilked.
To this Mr.. Furlong might suggest
that the Treasury can print more
money, more bonds. Lenine, in Rus
sia, has tried this, but think Russian
results would not be appreciated in
America.
Again, Psychological" experts might
possibly suggest that the Treasury pay
the bondholder the principal amount of
his bond as the interest due on these
bonds is now raised and pad-viz., by
taxing the bondholder directly or in
directly, say $3.50, and repaying him 81
A dollar bill is an order for so much
physical human work or effort-noth-
ing more or less. No work, no value to
bill. See Russia. The foreign debt
must be worked out, sweat out, by
hard physical work of foreigners-or
bled out Of hard physical work Of our
wage-earning bondholders. HIRAM.

William Jennings Bryan, who will be
remembered as Democratic politician
of the last generation, complains that
the arms conference has accomplished
little and boasts that all the good it
has done has been along Democratic
rather than Republican lines. He is q
melancholy example Of what grape

does not seem to know whether he is

To the Editor of The Tribune.

" e"c Cultor OF Inc Tribune.
Sir: In recent letter to The Trib-
une Horace F. Poor endeavors to
show that out of s3,151 ,506 337 80 loaned
to France by the United States, only
$455,545,147.59 was spent in this coun-
try. To support his contradiction of Mr..
Cowperthwait's statement that no
money went to France, Mr. Poor quotes
the details Of the loan to France from
the reports Of the United States Treas
ury Department, but these details
which for his purpose he calls "illu-
minating," seem to have left him in
the dark. They are as follows:
l-Exccss OF French pur-
chascs in tho United
States over United
states purchases In
France ............ $4s5,545.1+7.5s
c-Loans used for tho
liquidation OF debts in
this country con-
tracted prior to April

a-Tra nsportation and ship

b-Payment OF maturing

6-Funds for relief work. l43'l37'043ls

B-Repayment OF loans to
England ............ 1925, ,265s5
Total loans. 49, 81. 500, 337 so
While Mr.. Poor concludes that none
OF these items except the first one can
be allotted as money spent in this
country, it can easily be seen from the
purpose for which these loans were
made that the proceeds were spent in
the United States.
The second item represents loans
used to pay for war purchases or COM
mitments made "in this country" be-
fore the United States entered the
war.
The third item is for transportation
and shipping charges paid to United
States railroads or to American YES
sells. (Freight charges for transporta-
tion on British steamers we're paid out
of funds loaned to France by the Brit
ish Treasury
The amount of the fourth item Gin
terest) certainly did not go to France:
it was used to pay interest on the
Treasury loans prior to the summer of
1919, when it was decided that further
interest payments on these loans would
be temporarily deferred.
The loans of the fifth item enabled
France to repay the money she had
borrowed on the public market in the
United States in order fo nav for Dro
vious war purchases in this country.
The funds for relief work were used
for purchases in the United States
mostly for wheat and cereals.
