GOOD STUFF"

II Is all very well to discuss. In
general terms. the beauty OF the idea
OF church unity" Long effusions
might be written on the subject of
brotherly love ct cetera ad libitum.
One reads and absorbs the hazy idea
that someone is suggesting a general
gathering of good souls somewhere,
sometime. all smiling at each other,
expressing pleasing sentiments" Of
good willard then going on their
various ways to their own churches
and becoming absorbed in the practi.
cal affairs of their own denominations.
But there are other signs that indi-
cate a dovetailing of interests--practi-
cal examples of fellowship unity that
is worth while. However theologists
may differ this is good stuff'-to
hear of the choir of an Episcopal
church singing at the monthly supper
of Congregational church. That's
real, practical unity of spirit. The
church that furnishes the choir and
accepts the invitation, is no more to
be congratulated than is the church
which gave the invitation. Both show
ed the proper spirit--the sort of spirit
that means business. Both denomina-
tons are working to make people ap-
preciate the beauty of being decent
according to the standards of the
should they not help each other?
That would seem to be the sort of
Christianity that is real, practical
worth while. 1t is good stuff One
is glad to see 1t in New Britain.

IN EUROPE

At first glance it would seem that
the reparatons matter was near set
tlement, since 50,000,000,0O0 gold
marks have been agreed upon and
there is the agreement, also, that
moratorium for Germany is necessary.
But not so--not by many, many miles.
It is practically admitted that Ger
many could pay this amount. But does
Germany want to pay? England says
give her n couple of years to try It,.
then, if she does not pay, take force
full measures to see that she does.
Frances wonders why it is necessary to
wait those two years or so. Germany
has had ample time to show her dis
position or indisposition to pay.
Plainly she does not want to and just
won't that's all, unless she is made to.
So France wants to go in there and
count Germany's money, pocketing
part of it as a guarantee.
Meanwhile the United States is try
ing to hope against hope that some
Statement will be reached, but that
the hope is slight is indicated by the
provision suggested in statements In
spired from the White House that If
no such settlement comes this country,
If asked, is ready to join in an ex-

The Turkish Nationalist who are In

out OF Turkish control because the
then sultan, whom the Nationalist
have since deposed, was completely
under the allies thumb and agreed
to anything they dictated. They re-
pudiate the arrangement and de-
mand the return of Mosul. The
English refuse to surrender 1t.
"Capitulations", which in the pres
ent case relate to judicial matters,
mean this:
A certain country or countries
which have citizens and interests In
some other country less advanced, In
their opinion, than themselves, refuse,
SO far as their citizens and interests
are concerned, to abide by that coun-
try's laws or the decisions of its
courts. They insist that differences

settled In accordance with their own
laws and by their diplomatic repre-
sentatives or by courts of their own
creation in the country where they
are living or are situated. This 10

ton" Naturally no country likes It.
At worst 1t may be subject to abuse.
At best it's great humiliation.

abolished it during the war. Now

States, demand its establishment.

MOSUL'S VAST OIL
DEPOSITS

The Turks say the Lausanne con-
ference is tied up because England
is so stubborn about Mosul. The al
lies say it is tied up because the Turks
are so stubborn about the 'capitula-
| tions'.
Without paying any compliment to
| the Turks, who are VIGOROUSLY bad
rulers, it must be said that there's
one weakness in the other countries
position, to which disinterested OBJ
servers haven't failed to call attention
Mosul is valuable because of its
vast oil deposits. The 'capitulations'
are important because Of the out
siders' property interests in Turkey.
Every other issue, like the well
fare of Christian subjects of the
Turks, the European negotiators at
Lausanne are willing to discuss
amicably, but when it comes to their
own material claims, like oil and the
advantages they enjoy under the
"capituIations' they're immovable.
And the Americans, though only on
lockers at the conference, are giving
moral support to this position.
The situation Is SO serious that
the Turks are concentrating troops on
the borders of Mosui and the Eng
lish are rushing warships 70 Turkish
waters. The Greeks, hoping to profit
by an outbreak of lighting, are NOV
ing military forces toward Thrace, in
Europe. which both the Greeks and
Turks claim.
The outlook is not hopeless, but
very threatening.
SEEKING ECONOMIC TERMS
Secretary OF state Hughes has final
ly explained what the United States
government is trying to do toward
improving the European economic sit
nation.
AS has been pointed out before,
the central question is:
How much is Germany able to pay
in the way of war damages?
This has been thrashed over again
and again by diplomats representing
the interested countries. They can't
agree. The allied diplomats insist
that Germany is able to pay more
than the German diplomats admit she
is able to pay.
The American idea is to take the
question away from the diplomats
to make it a business question. not a
political one. 1t is Secretary Hughes
view that business men would be
guided solely by business considera-
tions--not what Germany OUGHT to
pay, but what she CAN pay. Diplo-
mats. he seems to think. cant get
the thought Of what she OUGHT to
pay out of their minds. and discuss
ing that is time wasted, because 1t
makes no difference what she ought
to do If it's impossible.
Theoretically neither Germany nor
the claimants against her would be
