PROPOSED TREATY WITH
TtlRkEY

There will be considerable inter-
est in the text of the proposed treaty
with Turkey when it becomes public.
This is not expected until the Sem
ate takes it up.
We were not at war with Turkey
so the treaty is confined to friendly
and business relations. When Turkey
agreed to the preliminaries she was
expecting great aid from the Chester
Concession. Now she knows better,
and is understood to be in an in
dependent and high handed mood.
She then gave assurance she would
recognize the philanthropic and
educational institutions which Amer
leans were instrumental in establish
ing in Turkey prior to the war.
Since then Turkey has summarily
closed the Girls College at Marash
and the hospital at Aintab.
1t would seem desirable to ascer-
tain what Turkey proposes to do
about this before ratifying the treaty.
though whether we ratify or not does
not appear to be matter which con-
Germs the Turkish government. She
knows we won't fight her, is burdened
by no scruples and is fanatically re-
solved upon having her own way.
On the whole the outlook for fair
treatment from the Turks, whether
or not the treaty be ratified, is not
encouraging.

noc,ket. az guess I'll go to sleep,
and he curled himself under pusn.
When morning came, he looked in.o
the brook to find the sands or goid
and sure enough, the bottom was as
yellow as Lady Loves pretty Wed
As he leaned over to pick up a
handful of the golden sand' o ilttie
fish said: 1o,,
Only he who has read the Wonder
Book
Can take the gold from its pebbly
floor,
Have care, bunny boy lest bite
"Iiere is the Wonder Book"
answered Little Jack Rabbit, taking
it out of his pocket. THE little mouse,
in the emerald house gave 1t to me-,
"Oh, that is different" replied the
fish. you may take all the gold you
like"
AS soon az he had filled his
pockets, the bunny boy started off
once more on his travels. and by ana
by, after while, he saw a. little
town in the distance. 1t had begun
to snow and the wind blew cold and
chill. All of a sudden, a little robin
began to sing:
"Tomorrow's merry Xmas Day,
So hurry little bunny.
To buy Some little orphan
Lollypops and honey"
'T'll buy a lot of things" laughed
the little bunny and he hurried on to
the little town. Hopping into Rshop,
he bought red wooden muffier and
a pair of gray mittens, a dozen Jolly
pops and some candy hearts. Then
out he hoped to the street. Pretty
soon along came little ragged girl
After wrapping the warm muff1er
around her neck and helping her on
with the mittens, the kind bunny
boy handed her a lollypop and the
candy hearts, which had quaint little
verses on them.
81 guess I'll keep a look out for
Santa Claus" he whispered as he
hoped into the next story.

A CAPITAL LEVY

Most people easily understand that
killing the goose, which laid the
golden eggs. ended the laying process
then and there. Yet many Of those
same people seem to have an idea
lurking in their minds that II we
took the money from capitalists they
would 90 right on being capitalists;
that this capital accumulated under
the supervision Of these men skilled
and capable in accommodating capital.
If taken by the government and spent
for one thing and another. according
ly as the labor unions, or the wheat
growers, or the cotton growers or as
Congress might direct, would be
just as available for enterprise as it
was before. There are others who
advocate such schemes who are not
SO simple. but who hope to get q
hand in the distribution.
A London correspondent Of the
Boston News Bureau has written an
instructive article on this subject and
the importance 1t IL assuming in
England. where the plan has been
endorsed by the labor party. He calls
attention to this clause in the plat
from of that party: "a non recurring,
graduated war debt redemption levy
on all individual fortunes over
$4,000, to be devoted solely to re-
duction Of the debt"
He tells how it was first proposed
to levy on all fortunes over $4,000
but the labor leaders howled q pro-
test so the minimum was raised to
$4,000. that while it was said the
purpose was to stop the interest
drain because of the war debt a
clause was slipped into the platform
providing that it also might be used
for necessary social purposes"
meaning doles and subsidies to those
having sufficient pull" to get them.
Ramsay Macdonald, the great labor
leader, at first was enthusiastic over
the plan, declaring it would secure
fifteen billion dollars, which by the
way is twice as much as Germany
has offered to pay in the way of
reparations, and two and half times
the value of the railroads in the
British Isles. Forty per cent of the
levy would be taken from people
whose fortunes are under half mil
lion. 1t would be levied on indivi-
duals not corporations and would
require the setting up of a tribunal
of confiscation.
1t is said the idea of capital levy
originated in Moscow, which easily
may be understood. Now Moscow
hasn't the capital to levy. on, it has
been dissipated and all progress is
retarded by need OF capital. Having
eaten their cake they now perceive
they haven't it. In different coun-
tries seven attempts have been made
to establish the capital levy and the
correspondent says they all have
proved. failures and it must be plain
to the thinking person that. il sue
cessful at first, they must inevitably
fail in the end.
