WHAT PRICE GLORY?

CEVEN years after. 26,9O3 world war
- veterans are still pricing glory in
government hospitals.
And that apparently is where they have
made mistake. They should have got
we'll sooner.
SO slow have they been about it that
an impatient nation has now closed upon
them the door of opportunity. Unless
congress chooses to modify its present
position, no veterans, however needful of
it, can henceforth be given vocational
training by the Veterans Bureau.
The bureau was ordered to close its
training application lists June 80 this
year. There were 1S,401 veterans still in
training at that time. Congress ordered
that their training be completed by June
so. 1926.
Veterans in hospitals and unable to
make application or take training were
thus automatically cut off from rehabili-
tation. How many of the 26,903 men in
hospitals will ever be able to take training
no one can tell. The number beyond
doubt, however, will run into several
thousand.
Frank T. Hines, head of the Veterans
Bureau, will go before congress this win
ter to ask modification which will allow
him to continue special training classes.

THERE is a far more serious side TO
Il President Coolidges warning against
intolerance than appears on the surface.
Certainly much more serious than we, in
this country, generally realize.
Tho results ~ the war win be lost" lac said at
Omaha 'and We shall only be entering a period Of
preparation for another conflict, unless We can de.
mobilize tho racial antagonisms, fears, hatrcds and
suspicious, and create an attitude Of federation Ia
tho public mind OF the peoples Of The earth"
And then ne added:
III country j. TO have any position Of leader

lieSc that the place where Il should begin Is at
home"
All of us know, of course. of the wave
of intolerance now sweeping this country.
Racial and religious bigotry are on n ram
page. Laws have been enacted taking
from the citizens the right even to talk
as they think and, where the law leaves
off, all sorts of organizations have sprung
up TO curtail the freedom of the individual
and his conscience
DUT that is not the phase of the prob
ID lem we would deal with here. We
are developing national bigotry, ma
tional intolerance, n national better-than-
thou attitude which, when combined with
certain other things for which we are not
so much to blame, are building up ma
tional peril of which few of us are clearly
aware.
Bruntly. Americans are rapidly taking
the place in world opinion until recently
held by the overbearing Prussians. We
are being spoken of abroad as the lords
of the EARTH" and with no intention to
flatter, either, while many individual
Americans, here and abroad, give the inn
preston of devil-may-care, newly-rich
Doors, extremely offensive to the average
less fortunate foreigner.
nNE reason, of course, for foreigners
" everywhere feeling as they do about
us is that they nearly all owe us money.
And the classics have warned us that
loan generally loses the lender his friend.
This is the inevitable result II the lender.
at the same time adopts an attitude of
superiority and intolerance.
Our newly-acquired title of Lords OF
the Earth" makes our position unusually
difficult and, at the same time, most dan
gerous. Most anything we do is apt to
give offense where none is intended.
'Noblesee oblige" greatness imposes
obligations. We must remember this. II
we do not, then indeed "the results of the
war will be lost and we shall only be en-
tering period of preparation for another
conflict" quite as the president said.
