FRANCE RESENTS

Premier Baldwin's much-heralded
speech on Britafn's policy on the
Ruhr situation failed to contain the
extreme nti-French views the world
believed it might. Instead. Baldwin
merely restated the British position
of cooperation among the allies. and
stressed little further the desire not
TO demand more from Germany than
it will be humanity possible for her to
pay.
1t was SO mild statement, ap-
parently, that French officials and
newspapers seemed to feel satisfied
with England's stand on the matter.
But after a little further study of
the speech resentment and disap-
pointment displaced this feeling of
satisfaction. For France still insists
on making Germany pay what is de-
manded of her and of remaining in
the occupied areas until she does
pay-or at least until she gives posi-
tive assurances that she will pay.

STRIKERS HIT AGAIN

No more countrywide railroad
strike, like the one of last summer, is
the promise of Attorney General
Daugherty. 1t is based on the action
Of Federal Judge Wilkerson of Chi
cago in making permanent the tenn
porary restraining order he issued last
fall against the striking railroad shop
men.
At the, same time the United States
Court of Appeals ruled striking shop
men and their leaders, who had been
cited for contempt of court for vio-
lating the Daugherty injunction, may
not have the benefit of a Jury trial.
What action the labor unions are
contemplating in reply to this dual
blow has not been divulged.

OUR GREATEST FOSSIL

Some day, perhaps, institutions depend
ent upon the government for financial
support will not have to plead, beg, cajole
and scheme for appropriations. They will
be either maintained as matter of course
Regularly, voluntarily, from year to year,
just as the governors salary is paid--or
else abandoned definitely as non-cssen-
tials.
Under the present order-or disorder
OF things governmental, state institutions,
particularly the educational ones, are
created and then forgotten until they come
begging for means and sustenance. Isn't
it obvious that there can be no consistent
progress under such an arrangement?
1t is not to be inferred that this is a
criticism of any system under which the
officials of state institutions prepare and
submit to the holders of the public purse
a budget of such institutions needs or al
legged needs. The services Of such officials
may be highly useful, or possibly indis-
pensable in some cases, in the work of
preparing budgets. What is objected to
is the lack of initiative on the part OF
government officials in looking after the
needs of institutions already established.
Generally it is assumed by legislators
that officials of state institutions will ask
for more money than is needed, and often
times budgets are pared on that assump-
ton alone, Thus the educational author
tiles are encouraged, rather than discour-
aged, to eXaggerate their needs.
Some day, perhaps, the Texas Legisla-
ture, for example, may have committees
composed Of experts in the respective
fields assigned to them; committees whose
duty it would be to investigate exhaustive
ly the needs of all institutions drawing
their sustenance from the public treasury
Then the government, with all legitimate
requirements before it, could intelligently
prepare a budget covering all of its &C
tivities. There would be no guess-work
If there were more institutions than the
government could support adequately, the
least necessary could be eliminated, and
the money that had been going to them
with no results worth while, would be
available for the use of those retained

From a Seat in the Gallery
BY HERBERT COREY.

Washington, ID. C., Jan. 27.-The
reason why Stanley Baldwin, chancel.
lor of the British exchequer, sailed for
home is that Obadiah Smith of Red
Barn, Idaho, and other members Of
the Smith family from other parts
wrote to their congressman about the
British debt.
"The congressional mail has not been
precisely burdened with letters about
the debt" said one well-informed mem.
Der Of Congress, but enough have come
in to warn us TO go lightly about grant
ing too many concessions to our British
friends"
As this congressman sees it, one rea.
son why the American taxpayer has
been somewhat stirred up is that no
effort was visibly made by the Ameri-
can Sebt commission to put the Ameri-
can side of the case before the public.
He believes the Americans were quite
justified in this. When one deals with
a debtor one inquiries about the debtors
ability to pay, and rot about the sOly-
ency of the creditor, lie said. Too much
talk about the American point Of view
might have embarrassed the visitors.
Nor does he believe that the American
members fell at all short in exerting
pressure upon the foreign representa-
tives.
But the politics was bad" he said
Our people should have been carried
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1923-01-29

and something really worth while could
be made out of the latter.
How many public institutions in Texas
are existing by beggary? How many
would begin to fall into decay the moment
their superintendent or managers-em-
ployes of the state-ceased begging the
Legislature for funds?
Recently someone made an interesting
plea for museum OF natural history in
this state, and Texas newspaper, COM
menting upon it, said how shameful it
was that so little had been done in this
important educational field. But suppose
the Legislature should appropriate enough
money to construct state museum and
fill it with exhibits representing Texas
great wealth in fossils. What sort of fu-
ture would it have? Unless favoritism
should be practiced, it would become, like
so many other institutions, regular sup
plicant before the money dispensers.
Texas docs need great museum of ma
tural history. 1t is true that this state
is exceptionally rich in geological remains.
But before the maintenance of museum
commensurate with Texas natural endow-
mcnts could be assured, fossil that is Of
no benefit to anybody would have to be
discarded-the system, or lack Of system,
whereby state institutions must either beg
for funds or else be forgotten.
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1923-01-29

along with the argument 1t may be
that the British carrot give us islands
or trade routes or oil or tin or cocoa
nut concessions or d.ydocks or coaling
stations. We are not only a reason
able but a generous people, and if the
fact were demonstrated to us We would
have yielded. But it began to look to
Obadiah Smith, back home, that the
fact that Great Britain possesses as
sets which should be Just as valuable to
us as they are to Ser had been for
gotten"
In any case, Obadiah Smith and the
related Smiths began TO write letters TO
their congressman. Not many, as has
been said, but enough. At the outset
of the debt negotiations here it APP
peared that the HouSe might assent to
a cut in the rate of interest and an
extension of the debt period, whether
the Senate did or not. But toward
the close Of the negotiations the tenn
per of the House had changed.
According to some congressman,
there is little probability that Congress
will assent even to & slight cut in the
rate, until world monetary conditions
permit the refunding the British debt
at a lower per cent. On the other
hand, there is no doubt that Great
Britain will :, permitted as much time
as may be desired for the payment of
the principal.
Obadiah Smith did it.

Trouble Dodging
BY IL. Addington Bruce.

One of the 'commonest of human ac'
tivities, and one having most mischiev-
Gus consequences, is trouble lodging.
At first thought it might seem that
to dodge trouble is about as wise a way
to deal with trouble as a person could
adopt. And certainly, as observation
shows, there are innumerable people
persuaded that it is indeed the way OF
wisdom.
But those same people il one only
will observe them little closely, are
mole frequently beset by trouble thar
other folk. That is to say, the more
diligently they endeavor to dodge
trouble the greater becomes the neces
sity for exhibiting their lodging skill
The fact of the matter is that trouble
simply will not be lodged. 1t is one
of the most insistent and persistent 81
assailants-unless and until it be cour
ageously faced.
To run away from it is only TO find
IL hotly pursuing, or cunnlngiy speed
ing around TO another quarter to meet
its dOdger anew. Naturally this in time
gets on the dodgers nerves.
And actually trouble lodging ranks
high among the causes of nervousness
1t even holds a conspicuous place as 8
cause of mental breakdowns, at times
extending to the point of outright in
sanity. In the words of Stuart Patton
lecturer on psychiatry at Columbia Uni
versity:
