speak to Mr.. Kalinin. Mr.. Kalinin,
being himself q peasant, is gener.
ally regarded by all other peasants
who happen to be in Moscow as
their special host for afternoon or
evening or morning calls if they
care to make them. This peasant
had an important political idea.
Why is it." he said to Mr.. Kali

Mr.. Kalinin gave some explana-

the story.

duced for them or against them.
Father Shuster, q Franciscan mis-
sionary, who has a church in one
of their villages, tells me that by
their native customs they are ad.
vanced feminists.
The men among them may labor
as much as they please in the
fields, but as soon as they bring a
crop into their homes they abandon
the ownership Of It, and 1t passes
absolutely to their wives. The
women own the homes and they
own everything inside the homes,
including the crops when reaped
and garnered. The men are in
command of all outdoors and also
in command of all religious cere.
monials, but their mastery ceases
with the threshold of a home. A
Pueblo wife, If her husband dis
pleases her, puts his spare clothes
and other slender belongings into a
bundle and puts the bundle out on
the threshold, and when he comes
home in the evening he sees the
bundle and sadly picks 1t up and
silently goes away into the great
outdoors without supper and with
out a wife any more.
It seems too bad df true) that
these noble and gallant husbands.
who have already lost their homes
to their wives, should now lose their
lands through the Bursum bill.

has a quick little humorous up
turn at the end of his nose and
an equally quick upturn in his
speech. I ventured to say some
thing to him about how much
money his fellow-countrymen, and
also the French, expected to get
out of the Germans in 1918, and
how little of it they would be quite
willing to accept as q payment in
full now. He replied in a sentence
which is a summary of just about
the whole of existing world poll
tics. He said:
1.-THE world is nowadays spend
ing it's time taking a course in
elementary economics at q CHASTITY
tuition fee"
The rapidly growing unpopularity
Of the French in Washington is
somewhat countered by the presence
Of Albert Thomas, formerly French
minister Of munitions and now
head. of the international labor Of
flee Of the League Of Nations. Mr.,
Thomas Is perfectly frank in say
ing that in fact there indeed are
peace-loving elements in Germany
which France would do well to
cultivate and to try to strengthen.
Yesterday, at a lunch which was
given to him, he dwelt at length
on the case Of Breitscheid, the
German Socialist leader, who, even
in the recent darkest days Of
hatred for France in Germany,
kept a French. flag in his office
over his desk and always said:
THAT tricolor is not simply the
flag of France. It is the flag of
the French revolution and Of human
liberty"
Mr.. Thomas, out Of a wavy black
beard, says: 1--WE shall never cor,e
to peace by ornaments or alliances.
We shall come to it only by cul.
tivating one another's best points
and coming to moral confidence in
one another"
We feed the Russians, rob the
Pueblos, regard the Germans as
the demons Of Europe, then regard
the French as the super-demons of
Europe, hate the British, are
charmed by the British Chancellor,
are charmed also by Mr.. Thomas,
decide not to hate the French so
much, decide to spend all our time
hating Nikolai Lenine, learn from
Allen r. Burns on his return from
Russia that virtually nobody in
Russia hates Nikolai Lenine any
more, get all mixed up and wonder
why we should think that we can
solve the foreigners called Euro
peans when, after seventy years of
dealing with the foreigners called
Pueblos within our own borders
we have succeeded principally in
just about running them. That's
the mood OF Washington right now,
when Washington has time for q
mood.
