FRANCE AND PROPAGANDA

or the bountiful propaganda which
European countries, or representa-
tives of them. have been circulating
in this country France has con-
tributed little that We have seen.
Indeed the impression seems general
that she has received criticism that
was unjust because she has not
made greater effort to acquaint the
public with conditions confronting
her. She has been called militaristic,
charged with increasing her army
and navy and making warlike prep
arations. Every influence opposed to
her taking possession of the Ruhr
has assiduously cultivated this idea
A recent mail brings pamphlets
evidently issued for the purpose Of
correcting some impressions which
may have been made. One is en-
titled France at Work" and graph
ically presents comparisons between
the destruction suffered by France on
account of the war, the construction
needed to replace it and what has al
ready been constructed. Another
pamphlet: Frances Army and Navy
in Peace" concisely presents a sum-
mary of the situation. From this it
appears that she has $4,000 men for
enforcement of the Versailles Treaty,
10000 men at Constantinople. 10000
for Syria; that France has with her
colonies an area Of nearly four mill
lion square miles and hundred mil
lion inhabitants, that the French
forces stationed outside Europe are
205,o0O men, or briefly she has on
home territory $4,000 men, in her
colonies 205,0OO and for maintenance
Of her international obligations 1885,
900.
Considering the situation which
confronts her, considering the alb
solutely evident purpose Of Ger
many to violate her obligations, con-
sidering that France has been in
vaded five times in the past 125
years, that a million and a half of
her men were killed in the last war
and 100000 permanently disabled,
that her territory was ravaged with
ruthlessness born Of purpose, not
only to win the war but to ruin
France as q competitor. we are glad
to read her propaganda and note that
she Is spreading 1t abroad.

hip marble basin where seven little
geese swan around and around and
thirteen beautiful gold flsh darteo
hither and thither. Little Jack Rab-
bit kept very quiet and the old goose
sentinel began his story:
"Many, many years ago-about Two
thousand three hundred years, the
Gauls. q wild race who lived In the
countries which are now France and
Germany, defeated the Romans ana
entered the city of Rome. All the
people in the city filed to the country
except a few who took refuge on
steep hill called the Tarpeian Rock.
But the Roman Senators who were
very brave wouldn't leave their
houses, and putting on their long
robes, sat on their front doorsteps ana
quietly awaited the coming OF the
enemy. 1t must have been very
wonderful sight to see those old men
awaiting in their beloved city tne
coming of the barbarians, who killed
them all without mercy.
after that, the cruel barbarians
made up their minds to capture the
capitol on the high rock I've just
mentioned, so one dark night they
climbed up but just as they reached
the top, an old goose named Cackleus
saw them and woke up the Romans
who hurled the Gauls down the steep
hill. So you see, Little Jack Rabbit,
il it hadn't been for that goose senu-
mel, who was wide awake and not
sound asleep like the Roman sentinel.
Rome would have been captured that
night by the Gauls. Ever since that
time, we have had a sentinel keep
watch over Gooseville and I am very
proud to be that Goose watchman".

Today comes the auction sale of
the housing project at the North
end, Bath, and there is no little in
tercst expressed in it's outcome.
Some have believed, says the Bath
Times, that the Shipping Board may
refuse to accept the bids, if they are
low, but the men who are conduct
ing the auction say that they have
every reason to believe that the bids
will be accepted within a compar-
atively few hours after the sale.
They point to the fact that this is
practically the last housing project
which the government has to sell, and
that now the differences between the
City of Bath and the Shipping Board
have been adjusted that there is no
reason why the sale should not take
place, and close the matter. Many
bidders from out of town are expect
ed and the project will first be Of
If the former bid should be more
favorable than the individual bids,
then it would be accepted. The fact
that an offer for the project, as a
whole, in excess of the total of the
unit bids a year ago. has been made

someone believed that the property
was bid in at low price at the
previous sale

SAME OLD FEVER

Remember the days when the
Knights of Labor joined with the
Populists to secure political control
of the country? Bear in mind that
they didn't secure their wish. Those
We're days when the pinch Of poverty
came home to many a farmer OF the
middle West, when the mortgage
of the eastern money-lender pressed
heavily on overburdened shoulders.
when the grasshopper and drouth
took toll Of the inexperienced, when
much acute suffering and great cause
for unrest existed. Then as now,
there was great outpouring of
verbosity, much frothing at the
mouth on the public platforms,
wonderful cure alls cried in the mar
ket places. We are going through
the same sort of an upheaval now, it
would seem.
Populism lasted for nearly ten
years. Then there was party con-
troll, there were no primaries. Can
the leading political parties with
stand the onslaught as we'll as
formerly? Then there were no CO.
operative marketing bureaus to curb
the speculation of the middlemen, no
Federal loans to mitigate the ex-
actions of the financial stress. To-
day, grandsons of the old Populists
have fat lands in some instances
where their forbears had slight hold
on material possessions, but they APP
pear to be "hollering" just as loudly
as the old timers. Yet with all the
better advantages for obtaining re-
lief, with opportunity for better un-
Outstanding than had their fathers

RIGHTS TO BE MAINTAINED

Whatever may come of the At
torney Generals decision to bring
suit against building material and
trade associations charged with con-
spiracy to boycott union labor, the
decision is creditable. likewise his
declaration that: 1.-THE right of the
worker to organize into trade unions
for lawful purposes is as fund
amental in America, as the right to
vote,-and as well supported by law"
The union should have its rights. No
man, whethar he belongs to a union
or whether )he doesn't, should be
denied the right to work.

The Khan and the Law

washington POSt)
The Ku Klux Khan has turned to
the courts for protection against
what it contends is improper use OF
its records. This is the story of re-
cent actions brought by it against
certain publications which it accuses
of broadcasting information from
data illegally obtained.
So this organization, whose MEM
bers have so often held themselves
above the law and have on many .oc-
casions taken the law into their own
hands, now seeks the law for protec-
ton. If the law is good enough for
it in the hour of its own need, 1t
should be good enough for 1t in the
hour of others need. That is the
moral tucked in the report of the
litigation instituted by the ku kluX
Khan against those whom it claims
have improperly dealt with it.

THE LAUSANNE PACT

Much can be said in behalf OF set
ting affairs by arbitration and
diplomacy. Much can be said for the
superiority Of a Christian over a
Mohanmedan civilization. But 1t is
not probable that the patchwork
pact signed at Lausanne will be cited
in proof. The best that may be said
of this treaty is that it makes for
temporary peace and puts off an evil
day. Yet the doing of it is at the
expense of the moral consciousness
of those peoples who have surrender
ed to the Turks, with the consequent
publicity of their weakness.
Turkey was a badly whipped peo-
pie in the Great War. But they had
left courage, fanatical and national
zeal, a daring and wise leadership
and a shrewd comprehension of the
moral weakness. the cupidity and
enervated condition of their foes;
they were inflamed and sustained in
their zeal by the unjustifiable assault
upon them under the misguided lead
ership Of the Greeks. They won.
The brilliancy of their efforts can
but make for more united and
powerful Turkey constituting the
pathway between the East and the
West.
The results are unnumbered
atrocities UNPUBLISHED, millions of in
nocent people driven from home and
possessions, aggravated jealousies
. among her opponents and glorious
promise for a triumphant Turkey. in
sisting upon and maintaining de-
spite her iniquities her individuality
and her influence as a power in the
councils of the NATIONS. Not only
this but there has besn advertised to
the world that not Vii the cruelties
inflicted, not all the iniquities are
attributable to Turkey. Greece has
charged to her record which may
NOT easily be lived down. The coun-
tries of Europe have upon their gar
n,ents not only the smell Of the fires
by which they were scorched but OF
the oil for which they sacrificed, in
some degree it would seem, the cause
Of the victims of Turkish oppression.
ALREADY Greece is paying the price.
1t is overrun as with locusts by q
million and quarter refugees from
Turkish prosecutions and steps are
being taken to increase this number
by $4,000 more from Constantinople
and other parts of the Turkish
dominion. To her credit 1t IL said she
is striving her utmost to cope with
this situation. In one view Of 1t
Greece has been left in the lurch by
ner allies. True her greed for great
err power brought about the catas-
trophe, though 1t was not led and
fostered by those now in control of
Greece's affairs. She deserves and
should receive consideration in her
dire predicament.
And one asksswhen will the others
pay the price in full The answer to
that is on the knees of the gods. Can
the Turks hold what they have won?
Is 1t not possible that il she does and
is able to keep herself free from the
corruption to which undoubtedly she
often was subjected in her relations
with the money lenders and courts of
Europe under the old regime she may
come to a more exalted idea of her
station. possibly a better neighbor,
but one to be reckoned with.
