flowers she put down the five hun

over to the corner and picked up

For a time she held the cumber-

down at it. Painstakingly she un-
tied the cord and unwrapped it. She
folded the wrapping paper, neatly,

 "That IS the voice of justice and wisdom. We have no illusions that 1t will prevail at once, but we are assured of its final triumph if we continue to sustain our logical thesis cncrgctically."
 The government organ L'Oouvre, comments as follows:
 When Senator Borah replies, it is not so much the ideaist as the man of every opposition who eN- presses himself, and doubtless in his case there enters a bit of demagogy. Mir. Borah admits his near-sightcd- ness when he declares that the France of Rochambcau and Lafay- cite only aided America because of hatred of England. Win they ever make up believe that the America of Pershing aided France for the love of France alone?
 "A victorious Germany would have established herself in Brazil, would have joined Japan in the Pacific and aroused Mexico. Is not this the danger that America com- batted-not for us but with us?
 Reason, Is Plea. Let Americans and Frenchmen therefore be reasonable. The Yer sailles treaty was drawn up under Wilson's influence-mutilated. The United States did not honor her signature. We do not search for a reason-as Nl Daeschner said upon his arrival-for denying ours. but there are two parts to our debt: Dollars loaned for 2. war in com non-'fghting dollars dollars of a commercial debt imprudently swelled after the arnlistice.

 Senator Borah pretends that the American taxpayer is more heavily burdened than the French. I main tain that the French taxpayer is more heavily assessed than the Ger man. The problem of interalied debts would make big step forward if America employed her whole en- ergy in making Germany pay"
 Le Journal in a front page leading article concerning the arrival in the United States of Frances new am bassador, Emile Daeschner, reiter- ates that "trance VIII pay what she owes," and adds:
 No Frenchman ever sought to avoid paying q real debt, but the whole question is to find what ex- actly is Frances debt toward her companions in the struggle. M. Marin's great merit was to make re- sound for the first time from the rostrum in the French parliament those words of good sense and ele- mentary equity which should have been pronounced long ago.
 That proposition has not pro duced an unmiXed feeling of satis- faction. It has even caused some scandal among those who for five years have pretended to believe that
