SHOULD FRANCE PAY

Should France pay her debt to America in full? Does
this country owe the republic across the water debt
gratitude? Some think there is peculiar situation here
and this is somewhat fully explained in the National Repub
lcan follows
In one of his widely circulated editorials Arthur Bris
bane says that dealings with France the fact should
not be overlooked that America France great debt
of gratitude in that the inspiration of struggle for
ona independence in the writings Of the French phil
osophes of the eighteenth century and in the French
luton.
For this contention there is substantial historical bas
lis. The American Revolution differed widely from the
French revolution IN it's causes its purposes and it's results
might better be said that the American Revolution
the inspiration Of the French revolution but the French
vouton took such turn that those who fought our war
for independence and established government regard
ed it's with horror Americans did not throw off
the yoke of despotsm in order to take the yoke Of
anoher they did not overthrow the tyranny of
only to submit themselves to the tyranny of mob Our
Revolution not the French revolution, class
eliminating in exchange of despotisms It
mot civil war, but the rise of fraternal union
The constructive Of Revolutionary founders
set America pathway of liberty upon which the feet
of the republic have been kept during all the 1873
which have followed the adoption of Constitution Be
cause France msook class for freedom that nation fell
beneath the sway of military dictator who drenched Eur
ope with blood After Waterloo, France wavered between
republicanism and monarchy for sixty years
The French revolution nearly resebed the Russian
than the American Revolution AS the French revolution
evenuaed in tyranny has the Russian revolution. Rus
sa like the France Of the Napoeonc era is ruled by the
bayonet though less nteligeny and literally and like the
France of Napoleon Bonapare seeks worldwide dominion
through the destruction Of other nations.
Our Revolutionary forefathers trained in eefgov
eminent They practical men, not dreaming doetrn
aires They patriots not fanatca preachers of class
hatred They learned little from Europe except what
void in the institutions they reared The Russians have been
mitators Of Robespierre Danton and Mara but these
preachers of liberty and practitioners of tyranny happily
have no prototypes in Revolutionary history.

Bruce Smith, son of DR.. n. B.
Smith, and both boys are nearly i'll
over the accident. No blame is
attached to them, however.
