CAN'T PLEASE THEM

Democrats absolutely refuse to be pleased with anything
the Republicans may do. A while back they were denouncing
the Republicans for what they were pleased to call Isolation"
They wanted this country to do something to help Europe. Some
of them wanted a complete cancellation of debts all around.
Others wanted a large share of the debts RENTED. They were
quite agreed that under the Republican administration Uncle
Sam is a Shylock, demanding the pound Of flesh nearest Europe's
heart. Use Of the word "Shylock' became common in Democratic
denunciation of Republican policies toward Europe.
undertook to negotiate a funding of the debt with Great Britain,
and an agreement was reached by which that country was to be
given an extension of time and a reduction in the rate Of in
terest. There was no cancellation Of any Of the principal. No
sooner had it been announced that an agreement had been reach
ed than Democratic leaders in Congress, reversing the attitude
of their party. began n denunciation Of the agreement because
it did not exact full payment Of the debt with interest. In their
view the Harding administration is to be condemned for being
too lenient with our former associate in the war.
Only a few weeks ago the Republicans were criticised for
not doing anything for Europe; now. when they have proposed
of part of the interest. the party is criticised for doing too much
for Europe. Only n few weeks ago we were told that It Ia i'm
possible for Europe to pay and that we were destroying our
foreign markets by maintaining an oppressive attitude; now we
are told that Europe can pay in full and ought to be made TO
pay Only n few weeks ago we were mt fault for holding aloof
and now we are Mt fault for being too willing to help.
In the meantime. there has been no change whatever in
the Harding attitude toward the foreign debts. The admins
tration has always expressed n desire to help Europe get back
TO normal. and has been ready to help In any proper way. but
cancellation Of the debt was held not TO be n proper way. In fact.
demand came from international bankers and from Democratic
politicians. The Harding administration has attended to Gov
eminent business in a business like why, and, when the situation
was discussed In all It's phases. It was deemed best to extend
the time Of payment and reduce the rate Of interest.
But 1t Ia impossible TO please the Democratic leaders.

POTASH FREE-PRICE UP

POTAS FREE-PRICE UP
When the tariff bill was under consideration, potash was put
on the free list on the theory that admitting that commodity free
would mean lower prices for fertilizers. Immediately after the
passage of the bill, German and French owners of potash de-
ing of their output and a selling organization was formed in this
country, with the result that prices farmers must pay have gone
up. Saving the farmer from the so called robber baron of the
United States did not save him from the robber baron of Europe.
Now il t. is announced that there are potash deposits in New Jersey
great enough to supply the needs Of the nation for 1000 years,
and immense deposits in western Nebraska. The only question
is whether the American potash can be put on the market in free
competition with the German French potash. Experience in other
soi1 4bo Amer;can nroduct until he has driven tho American
producer to the wall, and then boost his prices again. The only
permanently satisfactory system has been found to be the i'm
position of an import duty which will guarantee the American
producer against destructive competition, and under that assur-
in the end the consumer gets the lower price from the American
producer. So long as he is in danger of destructive competition
from abroad, the American cannot safely invest the large amount
of capital that is necessary to attain quantity production, with
its reduced costs.

NATIONAL HUMILIATION

President Harding frankly told Congress that if the ship
aid bill is not passed, "the executive branch of the government
may proceed as best it can to end the losses in liquidation and
humiliation" 1t is costing the government ~S5o,Ooo0oo a year
to keep but , fraction of our merchant fleet il operation, No
more of the vessels can be put in commission because OF the
legislative rns trictions on the operation of American ships that
make it uuite impossible to compete with foreign vessels. The
passage of the ship aid bill will remove at a stroke the deficits
now accruing, take the government out of the shipping business.
compensate for the handicaps now attending the operation of
American ships, secure for America a permanent merchant fleet
to transport our goods to market in time of peace and give us a
naval auxiliary in times of war, keep in this country about $780,
100000 a year that is now being paid to foreign ship owners in
freight charges, and salvage from utter loss the Investment of
So 10000 900 that our taxpayers made in ships during the war.
All those advantages can be realized at a maximum cost of $780,
OOO,O 900 a year. and an actual cost of probably considerably less.
It will indeed be a national humiliation if Congress, by its in
action. permits the peoples wealth to be dissipated, and denies
them the benefits of the pending measure.

STEEL SINGS

Two headlines from a free trade paper: Chicago Steel
Makers Sold Up" "Steel Production Increases" in the northern
mills. The first article states that Chicago mills are sold out
for the second quarter of the year: the second, that thew cannot
find sufficient labor to handle the business, despite which handi-
cap the mills are producing on an &c per cent basis. Steel is the
barometer of trade, and it registers Republican weather.

Just Like His Dad!

Now when Jack was a boy
His dear father with joy
Would smile as he watched him at
play.
And with pardonable pride
To his friends would confide:
HE gets more like his dad every
day"
But I have to narrate
That when manhood's estate
Was neared by this chappie so
bright,
Twas the neighbors instead
Who quite frequently said:
HE gets more like his dad every
night"
