GODS ECONOMIC LAW

Speaking of Americas action in getting into the
World War in 1917 Ambassador Herrick said the other
day in France:
In what did there was full measure of ideal
ism and sentiment for old friend and benefactor
France; but who WILL at this distance from the
conflict deny that in what did there also plain
sense and business foresight? Idealism in gov
ernment is praiseworthy, gratitude in nations is
proper impulse but to be effective in order to carry
through and produce durable results they must be
founded on sound economies"
He might very truthfully have reversed his state
men and said that to be truly sound any system of
economics must be founded idealism.
Owen r. Lovejoy, chairman of the National Child
Labor Committee, speaking entirely different
subject made a surprisingly similar statement. He
said that if there really exists any fundamentally
sound economic law in the world inevitably must
ncde with Gods law. Any person intelligent enough
to follow the recognizes that at bottom it is the
the other
Is not that why hard-headed practical" persons
continually finding to their surprise that improve
ment in working and living conditions of workers in
creases their business instead of decreasing it?
So, too, of these days, the United States will
realize that plain and business foresight

tions only possible in connection with ideasm.

APfMISTfCE DAY THOUGHTS

Two reflections particularly are aroused by this
fifth anniversary of Armistce Day, the day which
the whole world rejoiced end of fighting in the
greatest and cruelest of wars.
The first is regret that the American soldiers in
ured in service have not been cared for ade-
quaely Some of the recent revelations, in the
tora investigation of the Veterans Bureau have been
such as to make Americans ashamed of their own
thoughtessness and ngratitude. There should be new
determination this day that there shall be no more
neglect of the who made so great sacrifice for
their country.
The second is the apparent need of armis-
tice. France and Germany determined to cut
each others throats. Germany nearly succeeded in
the war, and France has nearly succeeded in the
peace following the 1t is time to call halt for
the benefit of both of those great nations the ben
eft of all civilization Reprisal and revenge

selves. What the world Graves is peace, not death

BY United Press Leased Wire
PARIS, Nov. 12.-Allied ac-
ton on the return. of the crown
prince to Germany will await
the decision of the individual
governments. The conference of
ambassadors discussed the ques-
ton today but decided that the
matter was too important for
them to decide without fresh in
structions from their govern

Wednesday.
It was expected in some quar-
ters that Great Britain might
want to present strong de-
mand to Germany to turn Fred
erick William over to the allied
government to put on an island
or wherever they see fit.
