ISOLATION

The doctrine of isolation IS
being preached by politicians,
but not by statesmen. They
misinterpret and give a wrong
construction to the utterances
of Mr.. Washington, in which
he advised that America in her
inception avoid entangling her.
self with foreign alliances.
The reason Washington gave
that advice was that America
was coming out Of England,
breaking away from the mother
country, and could not afford
to be involved in European al
liances with other countries and
thus incur more Of the mothers
prejudice and anger.
It is absurd to preach such a
doctrine today. We are the
superior power in the world.
We are in the world. We are a
part of the world. And we
must pay our obligations, dis
charge our duties, and take our
place by the side of the other
members that make up the great
world governments.
For us to be Pharisaical and to
go by ON the other side is to re-
ceive the contempt Of the world.
The world is pleading, the world
is hungry. the world needs US.
America is responsible for the
worlds condition, which has
been produced during the last
two or three years. Had Amer
lea taken her place at the table
of the League of Nations, and
cast the deciding vote, there
would have been as a result.
rehabilitation of the worlds
finances. Peace, progress, and
prosperity would exist today in
stead Of chaos and confusion.

PLEA FOR SHIP
SUBSIDY AND REDUCING
BRITISH DEBT IGNORES
FARM CREDJTS

FAIONl SIeEDALOs
President Hardings final plea fol
the Ship Subsidy bill was that it be
permitted to come to vote, declar-
ing that "mere avoidance by pro-
longed debate is mark of impo-
tence," which is a very different
view from that he held when as q
Senator he engaged in a long fill
buster against the Versailles Treaty
President Harding's plea for g
vote on the Ship Subsidy bill was a
part of his address to Congress on
the refunding of the British debt,
and while he gave the terms of the
agreement between the British COM
missioners and the American COM
missioners he did not state that the
terms were proposed by the Amer
lean commissioners, nor did he state
what, if any, proposals were made
by the British commission. He also
omitted to state that the terms as
agreed upon scaled down the British
debt about $6O0,000,000.
While President Harding pleaded
for a ratification of the British debt
agreement and for a vote on the
Ship Subsidy bill, declaring that
there was ample time for full dis
cussion of both, he omitted to make
any plea in behalf of the legislation
for agricultural credits, and by ig-
noring that important legislation, in
which the farmers are the most in
terested, indicated that he did not
attach much or any Importance tc
the subject of farm relief, as has
been pointed out by Senator Pat
Harrison.
Undoubtedly there will be objec'
tions to the form of the bill te
amend the existing debt funding
law, principally because the bill
leaves the door open to a much more
liberal settlement later on anc
takes away control of Congress ovel
The remainder of the foreign debt
If debate on this bill shall be pro
ionged to an extent that prevents
The Ship Subsidy bill from coming tt
vote, the blame will attach largely
to the President himself because o.
he dense secrecy which surrounded
he negotiations of the refundine
commissions and the vital lack o.
information which if given would
have enabled Congress and the pub
lie to analyze the agreement anG
correctly determine it's merits ant
dement's.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1923-02-16

The Philippine Government owns
and operates it's own bank, rail
roads, telegraph and radio lines,
coal mines, and cement factory. 1t
also has large sums invested in i'm
mense sugar centrals, which are OF
great benefit to sugar producers.
Jose Paez, director of the Bureau
of Public Works, who has just re-
turned from an inspection trip to
the government coal mines in Cebu,
states that those mines will be able
to produce $4,000 tons of good coal
annually, at a very low cost. In
Guiding the Mindanao mines, the
government will be able to produce
100000 tons annually, he says.

FREAK STREAM IN WASHING
TON

One of the tributaries of the Co,
lumbia River, in southern Washing
ton, is reported as having some
amazing characteristics. In ths
Standard Oil Bulletin is found this
interesting description:
A small stream called Bear Creek.
flowing from the glaciers of Mount
Adams, is freak. 1t plays hide
and-seek along it's course through
the forest, slipping into cave here,
a crevice there, then reappearing be.
low full-fedged rivulet. It's bee
is ice-coated nearly the entire year;
on the surface rocks float, in the
water logs sink.
The water is bright yellow in one
place, red in another, and like
bluing where it flows into the Co
lumbia River.
Bear Creek, differing from othe,
streams, freezes at the bottom frs
instead of at the surface. This is
caused by a rock formation, similaY
% a corrugated wash-board, retard-
ing the movement of the water
Forcing the surface to move more
wiftly. In this way air-bubble2
arrying freezing temperatures, ar
shot downward and ice forms
Often in winter the stream flows o,
the surface while the bottom is soli6
ice.
This freak creek also contains les.
water in one part of it than another
rs you follow it down stream, (
four-foot depth quickly becomes {
tiny brooklet by the water disap
pearing into the porous volcanic
bedrock, but later it reappears anG
resumes it's course.
The logs that readily sink are O.
a species of blackjack pine with
specific gravity heavier than water.
These are carried into the creek b.
landslides.
Rocks seen floating are sort CT
pumice, or lava clinkers, released
by melting glaciers.
The yellow color is direct from
the glaciers; the red is caused b.?
red clay bluffs, and the blue by a
deposit of copper quartz through
which the stream has cut it's bed.

Governor General Woods recent
message to the Philippine legisla-
ture contained a strong recon-
mendation for the granting of suf-
frage to the women of the Philip
pines. He said:
''There is one final recommends
tion to which earnestly invite your
favorable consideration and that is
the extension of the suffrage to the
women of the Philippine Islands
under the same condition and to the
same extent that you have extended
it to the men. Such action will
tend to build up and greatly extend
an enlightened public opinion, to
raise the standards of public and
private morality, to increase interest
in public affairs, and to greatly i'm
prove the efficiency of the govern
ment; in word, it will tend to the
advancement and betterment of the
people of the Philippine Islands"
Governor General Harrison also
repeatedly recommended woman suf-
frage.
