Senseless Sialling.

IhlE POINT is, is Germany in her policy in the
L Ruhr occupation, performing the time honored
feat of cutting off her nose to spite her face? 1t
has every appearance of just that. If France and
Belgium have nothing to show for their three weeks
time, except stoppage of all labor and production of
coal, which they went in to accelerate and increase
IN the first place, it will shortly be a matter of
life or death to the Germans. The complete stop
page of industrial activity will punish France less
than it will Germany. Both draw supplies from the
Ruhr district. France is in command backed by
military. Germany is unarmed and stands idly
sulking, refusing to even make an effort to meet
the demands she agreed to fulfill.
Germany is showing now just as she showed all
through the war and the subsequent negotiations
for peace, a mighty poor quality of sportsmanship.
The whip-hand is Frances, as it should be, and
if one way is not found to resume activity in the
occupied zone another way surely will be found.
And all the cost comes upon Germany. Eventually
she must pay for her past folly. She had better
pay as cheerfully and as much as is possible than
trust future negotiations after a season of stubborn
senseless, stalling.
Up against it? Certainly she is. She de-
serves to be.

the weather clerk has, served us for the past
ninety days. To date we have had no winter to
speak of, at least none to conform to what is pop
ularly supposed to be Wyoming winter weather.
Now with the grounding on the job we are as
sured of rougher treatment and the delivery of all
back orders.
While the central portion of the state has en-
joyed mild weather up to this time the southern
and northern sections have not Jared so we'll.
Storms and zero weather have rather been their
portion all winter long. And if the grounding wills
that we get ours from this out, what just complaint
can we enter? We have no claim to stand upon
in such a situation. In all humility we should
return thanks for what we have escaped and pray
for fortitude to survive for what is coming.

Britain Agrees.

britain may be a little foxy in driving a bar
u gain but when it narrows to a showdown in
monetary matters she is honest and dependable.
Much more so than in a territorial matter. She
is a land grabber, as the world well knows, but
so far as financial affairs go, we know of no blot
on her escutcheon.
That is why no uneasiness was felt In this
country when the first session of the debt commits
sions of the two countries ended in disagreement.
England is always a good trader and never in a
hurry. It would have been greatly to her advan.
.tage if the United States had fallen for the gen
eral cancellation of international war debts. and
altogether to our disadvantage. When England
learned that cancellation was hopeless, she speed
4gardless of what any other nation would do, and
Forthwith created a commission to meet with the
American commission and adjust the matter and
fix the terms.
The American proposition, which is an extremely
liberal one, has been accepted by the British gov
eminent. The total debt is four and n half billion
dollars. Interest is to be paid at the rate of 3
pei cent for the first ten years, and 3 L. per cent
for the subsequent term which may run to some
thing like ~siXty-twO years. Our own government
pays 4 per cent for the money loaned Britain.
The settlement is yet to receive the approval of
congress, but there seems to be nothing in the way
of this formality, even if a liberalizing of tho law
is required.
The two countries will be much better satisfied
with each other with the debt question out of the
way, than they have been for some time, and it
will now admit of the dis cussion and adjustment
of many minor matters long held up.
Like all other nations concerned in the great
war, Britain is debt ridden and her people tax
ridden, but she is in better financial condition than
any of tho other allied countries, because of the
vast resources and the rich colonial possessions
that came to her in the war settlement. England
will have no great difficulty getting out from un.
der the load, but how France, Belgium, Italy and
the rest will make it remains to be seen in the
years of the future.

UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA,
