ing day board members declared
they would rescind the action.
They said they were hurried
into the contract and were told
1t was the last day such agree
ment could be consummated be
fore the State law putting buses
under the public service commits
sion became effective. They de-
clare they were misinformed.
Act in haste and repent at
leisure, seems to be the boards
motto in this connection.
Probably 1t will make little diff
ference to the city whether the
franchise lives or dies. The fees
paid into the city treasury under
it would only amount to $4,000
year-and motor transportation
will continue regardless Of its
fate.
If the agreement is revoked the
bus line will simply come under
the supervision of the State, in
accordance with the provisions OF
the new law, instead OF regula-
ton by the city. So practically,
the rapid changing of the boards
mind only fans the air.
The franchise may or may not
be advantageous to the public.
But TO the average citizen it
would seem the best time for the
board to have determined that was
before. not after, acting upon it.
In his private business affairs
a board member wouldn't hastily
sign contracts without deliberation
and investigation. Why shouldn't
he be equally prudent with public
business?

LOSS OF
MEMORY


0ATROLMAN BARGE was
~ approached yesterd day
morning at the corner of
Illinois and Georgia SITS. by a well
dressed young man who asked:
who am L? Where am L? Where
am going?"
The man was an amnesia vic
tim. He had awakened at the
Union Station early in the morn
ing, he said. Back of that-how
he got there and identity-all was
blank.
Memory is the most important
faculty Of mind, upon which de-
ponds identity, ego, personality.
Without 1t a person would be like
a lump of protoplasm-living mat
ter not a sentient being.
But it is a most treacherous, I'M
ruly faculty. A strain, a shock,
or a grand jury subpoena is liable
to make it fade away temporarily.
1t is industrious only in spots.
Useless oddS ana endS or ln1orma-
ton are filed away and treasured
by 1t, but many matters of i'm
portance are ignored. And facts
stored are frequently mislaid so
that they can not be found when
wanted. A man may easily re-
member last years batting aver
ages but forget his wifes birth
day.
Memory is troublesome. But
whatever its faults living without
it is more difficult than living
with 1t. 1t is the faculty that ties
persons to time, space, and the
scheme OF things. Except for his
memory an individual is nobody,
going from nowhere to nowhere
Just a flash in the dark.

n these days in which propa.
ganda has so largely taken
- the place of those stern
things which we used to know under
the name of facts, it is interesting to
read something aside from propa-
ganda and >sickly sentiment about
the four billion dollars which France
so contentedly owes us. Senator
Borah has written the facts-some
of them. When Borah writes or
speaks we are all sure of one thing:
a mind of great capacity has tried
to get at the truth and is telling us
what it finds. Here is what Borah
tells us:
France is in no position to ask for
the benefits Of the bankrupt law
She is the most prosperous nation of
all those of Europe engaged in the
World War. Her industrial develop
ment since the war has been re-
markable. She has practically no
unemployed. In short she can pay,
on any reasonable settlement, if she
wants to do so. Nobody wants to
crowd her, or give her any harder
terms than were given. to Great
Britain.
:. Has Not Paid Cent
Yet in all these years she has not
paid cent OF either interest or
principal. She has never sent Va
word to show that she ever expects
to pay. Some of her statesmen like
to repeat that France will pay, but
when they talk to each other by
speech or print, they talk like
people who have resolved never to
pay.
They like to say that the money
was borrowed during the war, as if
that made any difference; but more
than billion dollars of 1t was loaned
after the war to keep France from
bankruptcy then. 1t went out of
the American taxpayers pockets to
keep French taxpayers from having
to dig it up then. They say that
much of what they borrowed was
spent in this country-as If that
made any difference. But Borah
points out that huge sums Of this
was loaned to France by our tax
payers to pay back loans France
had made-so as to save the French
taxpayers from raising it then.
When our troops went to France
they charged us for everything, and
their charges were not low. We paid
French port charges for the ships
which took our troops and supplies
to her aid We paid France third
of billion dollars for ordnance
And we never complained, though
we spent there about a third as
much as France owes us.
Makes Counter Charges
And the claim is made on behalf
of France, notably by a distinguished
Belgian writer, that we were loaned
money by France during our Revolu-
tionary War, which we never repaid,
and that with compound interest this
would now equal Frances debt to
us. This is enc of those false state
ments which one is tempted to call
lie; but probably those who make
it believe it to be true. Borah makes
1t impossible for them to believe 1t
longer. France did lend us money.
1t helped us much. When the war
was over, France promptly dunned
us for the money. We expected to-
pay and were not offended when she
asked us for it. And We paid it.
Considering our condition we paid it
promptly. We owe France nothing

What Is the Word?

ri JOB for some crossword puzzlist: Pro-
IA duce word that means ship subsidy but
doesn't arouse the stubborn opposition OF the
American people. Certain private interests,
who have a hungry eye on the people s treas
ury, ought to pay good deal for the word.
In Washington, so, dispatches to The Times
reveal they are beginning to talk ship subsidy
again They are talking all around the sub
iect, trying to avoid that unfortunate word,
which has been swatted by the American voter
ever since the days Of Mark Hanna's notable,
but unsuccessful, efforts to make him like 1T. 1t
is quite clear that ship subsidy legislation will
be attempted at the next session of Congress
and very likely with the Administration s ap
prevail The American Steamship Owners
Association is working on plan and says it
has President Coolidge s assurance that he will
carefully consider any bin it prepares
Meantime Chairman O'Connor of the
United States shipping board has got into an
argument with Senator Calder of New York.
O'Connor, who used to be a longshoreman,
sometimes uses refreshingly frank language.
Listen to little of it:
Senator Calder says he is in favor of
getting our United States ships back to private
owners at once. Private owners never had
these ships How'are you going to get some
thing back to a man that he never had before?
There have been no private ocean-crossng
ships in America, to speak of, since 1861
cat the present time, as I have said so
many times before, most Of the ships have got
to be operated by the Government or they will
q
We forget completely the original cost, and we
are willing to sell for an extremely low figure
to any one who can satisfy us of his American
ism and his sea-going experience"
He might have added that in the case of
the Pacific liners sale to the Dollar line the
matter of Americanism was not scrutinized too
closely. But that is beside the point.
The point is that the private ship interests
are working unremittingly to get the Govern
ment out Of the shipping business, but they
aren t>willing to take the Government place
unless subsidy is given them.
There is food for interesting speculation in
the case Of the United States postoffice. Our
founding fathers made the postofice Gov
eminent enterprise. Suppose they had allowed
it to start as private business. What sort of
socialism would it now be called if the Gov
eminent were forced, by the sheer necessity of
maintaining communications, to take over the
postoffice? The Government does not make
money out of the postol service, but our pres
ent civilization would fall down if there were
no such service.
The analogy is not strained. Chairman
OConnor is properly proud Of the fact that the
shipping board put into commission large
number of ships-at a loss-to carry American
wheat and cotton abroad during the recent
period of top prices. He estimates that this
action meant ten billion dollars to the Ameri.
can growers. (Look at that figure again; it is

In September, 1923, he was

paroled after serving the minimum

A few months later he is gath

The indeterminate sentence law
with the large discretionary pa
role power it confers-is no doubt
a humane statute. It was con-
ceived with the laudable purpose
of graduating punishment to fit
the crime and character of the In

But in practice it does little but
soften the punishment.

In interest of Music Week which
begins Sunday in the churches and
continues all next week, Mayor
Shank has issued the following pro-
clamation:
"One year ago the citizens of In
dianapolis united to observe their
first annual Music Week.
1T Is with feeling of pride that
we look back upon the achievements
Of this first attempt, the inspiration
of which is with us still.
Il need not point out the power
that music has upon our people for
the making Of better citizenship, for
the stimulation of patriotism, and
the inspiration for better and more
useful lives. All these things are
matters of experience and history.
But with the lessons that we
have learned fresh in our memories.
it seems fitting that 1 should set
aside a time for the observance of
music week., and exhort our people
to participate in its activities and
make it an occasion of interest, re-
joicing. and incalculable benefit to
the entire community.
Therefore, 1 call upon the music
