compelled to do so. and are thus fore
ing the retailer to double and treble
his prices. 1t is all very we'll for
Herr Stresemann and others before
and since to shout to America TOR
help for starving Germany. Why
should America help? Germany is
literally crammed with food. Half of
last years harvest is still untouched,
and the reason why the people in the
towns are starving is because the
farmer and the landlord are deliber-
atcly keeping back foodstuffs. If !
were MIR. Hoover l would not send
single bushel of grain until the stocks
now in Germany were consumed.
General Dawes Is said to be an
excellent business man. He may
conclude that If the hungry Germans
may be helped to buy American food
the German food profiteers may most
quickly be brought to terms. We may
he sure, however. that he will not
advocate aid directly or indirectly CT
the German profiteers and that he
will show up the pretenscs and
evasion OF obligations which appear
to characterize those of the Germans
now in the limelight. OF these, an
American woman married to dis
tinguished German, says, they lack
the Americans sense of fairness.

ABOUT THE Philippine
CLAMOR

A newspaper correspondent in the
Philippines emphasizes the idea that
F'ilipinos and Americans in that
country. however divergent their
other opinions. agree that the Amer
lean Congress should fix the status
of the Philippines.
We had supposed this had been
done. There Is nothing in the record
to indicate that 1t ever will be any
more firmly fixed or the Filipinos any
better satisfied. IL not being prob
able they would be satisfied If it
were possible for every American and
every American dollar to take the
first boat home from Manila.
II is possible that the withdrawal
of Genera! Wood would be slight
emollient applied to the vanity of
the pseudo patriots in those islands.
But as we understand it they have
given notice that nothing will really
appease them short of turning over
to them absolute control of the
Philippines and the enrichment
which American capital and enter
prise have established there.
II might in the end he less ex-
pensive for the United States Gov
eminent to do this but would not be
fair to oil concerned.

A Democratic Test

w L . lIiltS. lilu- DRlT.D
Certain Democrats in Congress
seem to have got into their heads a
notion really fatal to that Democratic
success in 1924 which they hope 10
promote. Secretary Mellon and
President Coolidge have raised an is
SIZE which stirs the whole country.
They offer program of tax re-
auction that will promote the general
prosperity and put and leave money
in the pocket OF the ultimate con-
sumner There is nothing partisan in
that program. II is TO the national
advantage. IT has been welcomed
as heartily by Democrats as by
Republicans. Thoughtful Democrats
in Congress see this: but IL is hard
for ordinary politicians to think of
anything-so far as the process OF
the political mind may be called
thought-save in terms of partisan
ship.
The Mellon Coolidge plan IS good.
The people are eager to have IL
adopted. But it is a Republican plan.
Therefore 1t mustn't be accepted al
together. There is a coterie of so
called Republicans and so-calied
Democrats in Congress. labeled
Democrats and Republicans. but in
ell essentials Farmer Laborites and
miscellaneous radicals. Mr.. Bryan
the Democrats have always with
them. Any shoehorn of political dis
aster. any unsound economic or
financial proposal. is dear to that
dauntless friend of the impossible.
since common sense and national
demand and national necessity are
insufficient sponsors of policies
which, however vital. have the mis-
fortune to be proposed by Republi-
cans, Democrats must have their own
tax reduction bill. calculated for the

SOME FACTS THAT ARE PLAIN

reasonable check on rum smuggling

those to man them. 1t is equally
plain that those who. don't want to
check the rum smuggling will wish to
delay any such arrangement. In this
they will be seconded unconsciously.
perhaps, by those who wish to use
the money for other purposes. also by
those who think the naval craft
should be employed In this work.
Considerable discussion has been
had relative to the wisdom Of using
any part OF our navy In this work.
One prominent authority, who for
merly recommended the use OF one OF
the navy's mine sweepers now rotting
in idleness. Is now quoted as saying
these vessels are not fit. Others de-
clare they are or can he when put in
to condition. They are capable Of
fourteen knots and could be used as
mother boats for fast launches that
would be used for rounding up the
smuggIers.
1t will be recalled that Secretary

ton Of twenty eight million dollars
for fast boats In the anti smuggling
work. that the President has approved
this. But Director Lord OF the bud
