Copyright. by The San Antonio Light.
Paris, April 2s-The international
situation can be dismissed today while
l tell you about the visit of those
American women, elected by their COM
patriots to. come and see us work.
They arrived here yesterday and it
seems TO me the 1923 good will dele
CATION offers rich food for thought
about the deep roots of the Franco
American friendship ard those people
who always are talking about "propa-
ganda abroad" could learn a valuable
lesson from the women OF heart and
brain who organized this trip.
The delegation last year succeeded
wonderfully. 1t saw the ruined France
Of the battle front and the happy
France Of the interior. As honorary
president of the American committee
for devastated France, 1 had the
privilege Of meeting the visitors sew
eral times and getting their impress
sions. But in that time there was no
obstacle to mutual good feeling and
good will.
This time it is different. There
are many difficulties in the way. Our
ridiculous Turkish policy has lost
much American sympathy while our
Ruhr methods, rendered necessary by
the British attitude, have been lily
understood in America. So much so
that there was a suggestion of post
poning this latest visit until autumn.
Increase in Numbers.
You know what ha pened. The
spontaneous sentiment for France has
been responsible for the presence here
gates who originally were expected to
come. And these delegates are respon-
sible for the raising of 100000 which
will be expended in restoring the devas-
tated regions of our country.
Certain details of this campaign
have made great impression here.
For example. the fact that in New
York two hundred firms participated,
spoke for itself. The way in which the
Durant Motor Company raised $780,
900 by n countrywide appeal TO its
factories was an example of American
speed. The advertising campaign Of
the American BankRote Company,
which deluged the people with ingen-
uous picturesque advertising showing
what it was all about, brought home
TO the people their traditional friend
ship for France. Then the fact that
many business houses everywhere gave
their employees time off to listen to
speakers in favor of the restoration
of devastated France, resulted in
demonstrations Of friendship that have
not been manifested since the war.
Impulse Backed by Sense.
What n tremendous lesson this is
TO the dull, sterile official propu.
ganda bureaus. 1t demonstrates how
silly it is to believe that America
can be innoculated with sympathy
toward France through insipid publ
cation. All that is needed is to give
that sympathy which is in all of
your hearts a chance to show itself.
The greatest thing about the good
will idea is its simplicity. What a
simple idea? To appeal directly to
the American people to recruit dele.

cial and industrial enterprises and
finally 10 insist that the delegates
must all be working women earning
their own livelihood.
Not officials, but private indivi-
duals organized this simple idea and
they were women who already had
raised a million dollars since 1917 to
rebuild French ruins. To conceive and
realize the plan they refused TO heed
either conferences or experts witho 1t
which officialdom cannot get along.
The hearts impulse. backed with COM
mon sense is all they required--two
qualities which governments usually
lack and which lack prevents their
accomplishing what they undertake.

which the army needs, and does
away with many Of its battle

"Well, this one-Eye Holiday

ssbeing the only one-eyed guy In
the game. One-Eye Sam takes this
remark very personal. and after
this he is never any too cor

.'well, I go loaded for one-Eye,
and One-Eye is loaded for me,
and the boys about, town are bet

I put Old Betsy away, and go
down town to the Grenlight with
Joe. knowing One-Oye will be

makes at me with a big butcher

''but before I go I stop long
enough to light the fuse on q
