FRENCH SAFEGUARD CLAUSE

What Henry Franklin Bouillon, chairman of the foreign affairs committee of the French Chamber of Deputies. means when he talks about a safeguard clause in the French American debt negotiations is that payments to the United States must be predicated upon payments to France by Germany. In other words, should Germany default in her separations pay ments to France, then France would default in her debt pay monts to the United States.
 From the first the United States has attempted to avoid injecting a third nation in the debt arrange, ment with France. We are dedi- catcd to the principle of "capacity to pay" and that should cover it.

FIGURES OF TERROR

Two meet death when car swerves off highway and crashes into telephone pole," read the headline.
 Hundreds of similar headlines figure in the daily press every sum- mer.
 Let's capitulate: Last year 23,900 persons were killed in the United States through automobile acci- dents; and more than 600,0oO were injured.
 Of the persons killed last year, 5,7oO were children.
 Authorities agree that most au- tomobile accidents are due entire ly to carelessncss, lack of responsi- bility thoughtlessness, reckless ness; some authorities say at least five per cent of automobile drivers should be driving whcelbarrows in- stead.
 If tornado or earthquake would kill 23,900 persons in this country at one full swoop the dis aster would be talked about for generations. If by some fiendish l visitation of nature 5,700 children in Connecticut were dealt to death at one time the horror would parallel that of the children's cru 1 sade in 1212. Hut the fact that these deaths occur slngly seems tc take the sting from the public con- science.
 In the face of such statistics Il might be regarded as the quicntcs scncc of irony to say that automo bling is one of the safest of sport' and so it is. But 1t is the tivt per cent of total drivers and thu five per cent of foolish pedcstrian who cause the distressing casual ties we read about.
 Ninety-fvc per cent of the auto ists constantly exercise care; but i is the foolish five per cent whicl menace not only themselves, bu the lives of the careful majority.

 Q. Is there premium on Peace" dollars or the Mckinley Memorial gold dollar?
 A. United States peace dollars are worth only their face value. Me- Kinley memorial gold dollars are worth from $1.25 to $2.o0 each.
 c. What was the first country in Europe and who was it's ruler?
 A. There is no definite historical account of the first country in Europe and its first king. Possibly the earliest country in Europe was Greece. but truly historic age did not open in that country until about 800 B. c. Even in prehistoric times however, the Greeks had a civiliza- ton already venerable with age, possessing arts, governments. and in stitutions that bear evidence of slow growth through very long periods of time.

THIRTY SEARs OF FILMS

The moving picture industry this week is celebrating its SOth anni- versary. Few among us have req lIsed that the screen art had at- tained such maturity II seems only q few years ago that the first nickelodeons began to thrive, whcn the common practice for local theatrical magnates was to hiro store on main street, rip out the furnishings, buy seats on the In. stallment plan, provide a nonde- script screen and tho projecting machinery. and then invite the public to sec tho pictures jump.
 Thos. were the days when there were no film stars, when the play was f<e thing" no matter how poor -ee plot or conventional the handling. They were the days when piano players" beat fantas- tic tatoos to livene up the silences of the dark hoe-in-th the-wal cay crns.
 The industry then was In It's 'in- fancy" yet few suspsctcd 1t would become such a lusty industry with In 30 years Most people at the time regarded 1t as q sort Of harm less amusement. well fitted to kill spare time.
 Nowadays we take our film ex- periences more seriously; there is art and high production costs mixed in with the business. Prices have gone up in proportion. Every one knows the names of film stars. Instead of the impromptu empty store movie shows we see the films In big picture palaces.
 Will the advance be as great in another 30 years, or has the in- dustry reached the zenith of its powers and settled down to con- stant and consistent regularity. like the legitimate stage has done for centuries?

BUTLER AND COOLIDGE

The Boston Herald insists the is sue in Massachusetts reverting around the campaign of Senator William NJ. Butler for reelection is inc necessity to stand by Cool idgc." The Boston Post, favoring Coolidge. but having a large Demo- cratic constituency among Its read CTS, claims this is not the issue at all; that Coolidge has nothing at all to do with the senatorship campaign.
 And so the campaign starts along Inc well oiled groove of Coolidge jana. Former Senator David l. Walsh-hc who ran 100000 ahead of his ticket during the Coolidge landslide - will be the contending Democrat in November.
 The stand by Coolidge" Issue may have weight in Massachusetts, where the President lived before becoming vice president and prest- dent. Hut whether it has tho po- lcnry of swinf'lg 100000 votes, or Iaf that number, is an angle of inc issue that worries the Boston Herald.
 A large and brilliant array of administration speakers will stump Massachusetts during the election campaign: and a similarly large and brilliant array of Democratic mminarios will be among those present in behalf of Walsh. For thu 'ruor Governor Albert c. Ritchi' of Maryland has already been or .hc ground: and for the Republi. can Senator Irvine l.. Lcnroot o' Wisconsin and Assistant s crctarl os War Uanford MacNidcr.

RATWYING BELGIAN DEBT WITHOUT QUIBBIING

Ratification of the Belgian war debt to the United States by the Senate was done expeditiously onco the question was placed squarely before the upper house for action. The Belgian debt funding agree ment dates from last August, but in tho nature of things 1t takes Q little time and red tape for such a matter 10 reach a final vote In the Senate. Unlike tho refunding scheme In connection with a few other nations, that with Belgium was never In doubt, From the first we intended giving Belgium the limit in terms without quibbling, Its debt to us of s4l6.9oi,l60, be- ing ratined by the substantial vote of 55 to 20, indicated there was no objection to the plan except that coming from the regulation insur- gent Republicans and the die-hard Democrats who oppose the ma iority rule on general principles.
 At a time when much Is being discussed as to who won the war, it Is worth while to point out once again that had Belgium not thrown it's weight against the German on- slaught in 1914 the war would have been won In a short time in strict conformity with tho original Ger man plans. Belgium not only halt ed tho invader sufficiently to 20. init the allies to coalesce their de- fences about Paris, but the nation was crucifled as the result of its heroic deeds. That 1t was entitled to special consideration in the debt negotiations has been manifest tc all.
 It may be we'll at this time tc consider the totals of money tha will be payable to the United States under the ten funding agreements thus far negotiated b! the War Debt Commission. cover ing two-thirds of the principal O the outstanding indebtedness. Dur ing the next 25 years more thai five billions of dollars are due thu United States from these debto nations; and of this amount $1. 463,36S,150 is due In principal an( $3,922,735,551 in interest. Pay ments, of course, will continue fo 62 years.
 The annual payment from Bel gium will be s3,S40.000 this year graduated to $12,6S4.50D in tn year 1850. Roughly, the payment by Italy will be approXimatel twice as much.

SENATOR HALL REMAINS

Continuation of Senator Edward r. Hall in office as the chairman of the board of finance and taxa ton. as announced by Mayor Weld is good civic business. Since his appointment at the beginning Of 1923 Senator Hall has been one or the most influential men in the city. exertIng a widespread effect upon it's finances. He has main talned the finances upon an even keel.
 Party politics cannot touch such men as Mfr. Hall in connection with civic matters, He was ap- pointed by Democratic mayor be- cause he seemed worthy of the place, whereas old-school politics would have suggested the appoint ment Of a Democrat. His careful oversight Of the city's finances saved the city money since his ap- pointment during the Paonessa ad- ministration and Mayor Weld as matter of course doubtless felt no improvement was possible or de- sirable regarding the chairmanship of this important board.
 In re-appointing George R, Dob son as member of the board of ad- iustment under the zoning law, and Virgil M. Palmer to the cemetery commission, the mayor indicated here is no thought of paying po' litical debts in his administration Both men arc Democrats, have hecn efficient, and were entitled tt ra-anpointmcnt for this reason.

MILLIONS AND LEARNING

It is deemed certain that the profits of Henry Ford's plant have been 700 million dollars within the last 10 years. Last year alone the flivver magnate and his family added a paltry $94,OOo,0OO to the family income, most of which is being put back into the business.
 According to these figures, Ford's profit per car amounted to SAT last year. when 2,OO0,OO0 cars were produced at the plant.
 Three decades ago Henry Ford was a mechanic in a repair shop, His training has been one Of in tensincd indus,ri0ism. He has opinions upon various public topics, but it should never be over looked that merely because he has accumulated an immense fortune in ,thc automobile manufacturing business his opinions regarding cvo- lution. astronomy, congress or cow raising are superior to the judg- ment of those who have given their lifeworl 10 the study of such things. If a scientist, astronomer politician or dairyman attempted to tell Ford anything about how to make automobiles the first citizen of Dearborn. Mich, would have his answer ready.

UNIVERSAL PEACE A PI2n Inspired By My Prince

A Fan Inspired By My Prince
 Charming
 By sunny l wonder if you too, My Prince, Have noted in the public prints
 The talk of peace. They eabblo of it here and there, In Europe, China, everywhere
 Like startled geese! Peace! But they're adding to their guns! Peace' But they're training up their sons!
 And pray.what for? It's plain enough for all to sec lis not for peace on land and sea,
 But it's for war! Yet here the secret I will give Whereby the world in peace could live
 Forevermore. No League of Nations would we need: From fear and hatred we'd be freed,
 And cannon's roar! For Peace, the Pearl of Wondrous Price, Would come and make a paradise
 Of earth anew If people, yellow, brown, and white, Would love each other, JUST A MITE
 Like l love you!
