Red Lodge Coal Mines Are to Enter Commercial Field
SENATOR 7. j. WALSH TO VISIT HERE FRIDAY JUNE 5
HELP The PRESIDENT COLLECT AMERICAS
JUST DEBTS FROM THE FOREIGN NATIONS
(By John H. Perry

Every American, regardless of poll
tics, origin or religion, will stand firm
ly at the back of President Coolidge
and Secretary Mellon In their effort to
compel France, and other financially
able foreign nations to pay their debt
to the United States with something
like reasonable promptness.
Also every American with red blood
win resent the utterance of those trav-
elling American jackasses, who fawn-
ing at the feet of royalty, seek decora-
tions and social recognition at the
hands of foreign governments and
stand ready to deliver the pocketbooks
of American taxpayers to be picked by
diplomatic fingers to achieve their
ends.
The President and Secretary Mellon
have made their positions perfectly
clear. France alone owes us between
four and five billions of dollars, every
cent of which was taken from the
pockets of American taxpayers. Mill
lions of this debt was lent to France
after the war was over The Presi-
dent and Mr.. Mellon want this money
repaid. 1t appears, however, that a
half dozen or more of our leading
citizens" are not In sympathy with
the President and openly seek to con-
vey the belief to Europe that the Pres
ident speaks only for a handful of poll
ticians and not for the people of
America, when he calls the French
republic to account. James w. Ger
ard, former Ambassador to Berlin, and
George w. Wickershxn are the latest
reported as having made "explana-
tions" and to have put their feet on the
soft pedal Otto Il. Kahn, the interna-
tional banker, is said to have "apolo-
gized" in q speech in Paris, for the
steps taken by the State Department
looking to an understanding for the
collection of our debt. Not long ago
James M. Beck insisted we cancel the
French debt.
Beck is an officer Of the French
Legion of Honor; he is a Commander
Of the Order of the Grown, by grace of
the King of the Belgians, and he ia
allied with the French Societe Gems

cording to the INFORMATION the COM

dent of this city, passed away at his

months illness from cancer Of the

Of the Saar Valley Coal Fields, every
cent of which was won for her by
American blood and the outpouring of
American treasure.
While American boys died to save
France, the Frenchmen collected toll
for the very soil in which the Ameri-
can dead were laid to rest. France
thanked God for America when her
back was to the wall. Now it begins
to look as If she thinks she does not
need to pay even her honest debts;
and when travelling Lord -worshiping
Americans have the impertinence to
apologize" for our President because
he takes stand for his own people
lit Is time to let the world and
the President know where Americans
I stand.
Only short time ago the press was
filled with smashing stories announc-
ing that France had finally decided to
| pay her debt TO America. There was
rejoicing throughout the land. 1t took
only few weeks however to find that
this was palpable propaganda and put
out from the other side to prepare
the American mind to form another
f1otation of still another hughe French
bond issue.
| When the real Americans who read
read this newspaper come to sense the
actual facts In connection with this
debt situation, and when they with the
other twenty millions of Americans
who will read this article In other
newspapers write to the president ex-
pressing their views, 1t might be well
for them to openly protest against
any American buying a single bond
issued by any foreign nation that owes
us any money until such time as some
satisfactory arrangement has been
made for the repaying Of the debt.

towards the French republic may be
understood. Others, perhaps, look
with envious eyes on these marks of
foreign favor. Your Englishman who
dearly loves a Lord is almost In the
Socialist class compared to the trav-
cling American synchophants who seek
the royal smile, who want their daugh-
ters presented at court or who seek to
have their breasts decorated with a
red ribbon and some tinpot cross that
provides an open sesame to circles Of
the elite.
Undoubtedly President Coolidge and
Secretary Mellon are disgusted with
this brand of Americanism.
France has not paid ONE cent of her
debt of billions to America.
France has not paid even the inter-
est on the money.
Either France must pay this debt or
the American taxpayers must pay it..
It is absurd to talk poverty in con-
nection with our sister republic. She
seems to have enough money to main
tain the greatest military machine
ever known in the history Of the world,
machine that stands today - men
ace to the peace Of Europe. The fact
is that France is fattsning on the
spoils Of war--more than four hundred
thousand miles Of awarded territory,
Alsace-Lorraine, and the untold wealth

Professor Max Rubner, Of Berlin,
says Americans eat more on the aver
age--3,308 calories daily--than any
other nation. England comes next,
with 2,997 calories.
1t is certain that this country eats
too much, and wastes about as much
as it eats. Half we eat keeps US alive.
One quarter keeps the doctors alive,
and one quarter supports the UNDER
takers and cemetery owners. Eat
half, leave the table for ten minutes,
and once digestion starts you'll know
you've eaten enough.
