his face clouded as he volunteered
the information that he did not have
money enough to start in business
for himself. I should think Leslie
would ask her father to back her

THE UNITED STATES AND
LATIN AMERICA

No citizen of the United States,
familiar with this countrys his
tory, will feel justified in any
quiXotic expectations regarding
our whole policy toward Latin
America.
The United States had done
much work which is distinctly on
the side of the angels in Latin
America.
Yet, surveying our policy as a
whole, it must be said that there is
justification for the apprehension
felt everywhere between the Rio
Grande and TERRA del Fuego as to
what the United States ultimately
intends to do.
This apprehension will never be
allayed until the more or less fur
tive imperialism of our govern
ment policy is succeeded by new
approach of candid and open
friendliness, based on the desire,
in peace and good will to advance
the interests of all nations alike
the sort Of attitude which We are
SO fond of advising the European
powers to use in their relations
with one another.
For such a policy an informed
and enlightened public opinion in
the United States is an indispens-
able prerequisite--and a prerequis-
tie which unfortunately shows few
signs as yet of coming into exist
ence.

BRITAIN'S NEW PREMIER

Ramsay MacDOnald's decision to
take office was arrived at only af-
ter careful thought. Not even his
enemies would accuse him Of being
vulgar office seeker. Mr.. Mae
Donald is a man of very high
ideals, Of courage, singleness OF
purpose and vision. Probably no
man is more keenly aware that
power acts but too frequently as a
corrosive to the finer instincts; or,
at best, blunts and stultifies them.
AS Prime Minister he is in posi-
ton replete with social difficulties
and would-be entanglements which
no foreign observer unacquainted
with the subtleties woven around
court influence, the traditional in
stitution Of patronage" and the
pull" Of society can adequately
estimate The old ruling class of
Britain is the ablest in the world.
1t seldom goes in for frontal at
tacks; it seeks to bind, to paralyZe
by a thousand invisible threads,
rather than roughly to break; not
to oppose or suborn openly, but to
undermine. Ramsay Macdonald
and the Labor Party as whole,
however, possess unexpected pow
ers of resistance to the calcula-
tons which are even now being
made.
1t is noteworthy that. the labor

flee was unanimously endorsed by
every branch of the movement

LETTER FROM SALLY ATHERTON
TO BEATRICE GRIMsHAW

Well here am, dear Bee, and
nicely settled. l like my work i'm
mensely, and am especially pleased
with my new boss, John Alden Pres
colt, whom you have met think
Leslie certainly should be especially
happy in her married life, but some
way, back in my head, have "a feel
ing that she isn't.
l can't possibly think, however,
that Mr.. Prescott is to blame. He
seems so frank and sincere. and alto
gether pleasant. You know haven't
seen Leslie since before her mar
riage. l wonder if she has changed.
1t is always dangerous thing for a
wealthy girl to. marry a. poor man,
you know.
l have often wondered why Mr..
Hamilton did not settle a sum of
money upon Leslie when she mar
ried.4 It seems he had some old-fash-
toned idea that every young man
and woman should live upon what
the husband could make. Modern
fathers forget that they have
brought their daughters up to great
luxury instead of making them capa-
bic of living on the small salary.
OF course, my dear Bee, l have no
valid reason for writing any of these
things to you. The only thing which
makes me think all is not right with
Leelie and her husband is the fact
that he, poor man, seems dreadfully
worried over something. know it
isn't money, for, being his secretary
and knowing all about his financial
affairs, can see that he is not in
debt. But I have heard him say
many times in the few days I have
been here that he wished he could
afford, to give Leslie a new motor
or some other expensive thing l
know she has been accustomed to
having.
He is great big boy, Bee, OPEN
hearted and open-handed, quick to
anger and just as quick, to acknowl-
edge his mistake. He is perfect
genius for advertising. told him
this morning that he was wasting
his talents by working on salary

WHEN PREMIERS BECOME
HUMAN

Some (wise man has observed
that 1t is quite impossible to hate
any one you really know-wlfich is
another way of saying that deep
down in the hearts Of men is a
sincere effort to be right.
Nothing bearing on internatiOn-
al relations in months has struck
the human note more impressively
and touchingly than the exchange
of personal letters between Pre-
,mier Macdonald of England and
Premier Poincare of France.
The credit belongs primarily to
the former for having taken the
initiative in a man-to-man appeal
for a spirit Of friendliness and
Cancellation in the accommodation
Of the differences of the nations
these men represent.
The Albert .hall address of the
British premier deserves, as publ"
political expressions do, the de-
scriptiye word beautiful" and the
letter to Poincare is in the same
.ririt I'VE can be frank without
being hostile and can defend our
countries" = which. once appreci-
atea, would go far to minimize the
dangers Of wars.
The response Of PNircare is IN
almost impulsive reaching forth for
the nroffered hand: "My own
rankness shall be no less than
yorrs and if. in defense of French
interests. l show the same fervor
as YOU in defense of British inter-
ests you may be sure that nothing
will ever change the cordially of
my deep-rooted feelings" - which
promises much.
The moment statesmen divorce
themselves from the idea that in
international controversies they
must strike theatrical pose in
order to play stunning role upon
the stage, and realize that they
may meet as men in the spirit of
humanity, the world will be less
frequently in the shadows.
Macdonald has struck new
note-and it is musical. - New
York World.

ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

When the seven league boots walk
ed into the Market Town in Beanstalk
Land, with no body to be seen inside
them, there was such a rushing and
scrambling as never had happened
before.
Fruit sellers, peddlers, butchers
and green grocers took one look and
fled, upsetting stalls and knocking
over stands and yelling at each
other as though they had lost their
senses. --.r
And indeed they had, nearly, for
not one of them knew that the
Twins were inside of the boots They
thought the boots were bewitched
Nancy stuck her head out of the
crack in her boot. "Nick!" she
called. We've got the whole place
to ourselves. Market Towns empty.
All the giants have gone and shut
themselves up in their houses. What
had We better do now?'
Keep on going advised Nick.

queen. They are the only giants in
