ECONOMIC U. S. OF EUROPE

The prediction made after the
World War that a United States of
Europe would result from it is not
forgotten. There soon is to be an
Economic Conference at Geneva and
there is assurance that this question
will receive serious consideration.
The form in which it is likely to be
considered is an economic union of
the countries that should in process
of time lessen if not altogether re-
move existing barriers to CONNER
cial intercourse.
1t Dis recalled that following the in
tense rivalry after the War between
the German and French iron interests
a more or less successful effort was
made to enable capital in both
countries to cooperate in the pro-
duction Of steel, as each had some
thing the other needed.
All things considered the vision of
an economic union of the European
states is not visionary. A political
union would seem to be, at least for
many years, although economic union
would tend toward such a result.

"DOWN IN A COAL NINE"

We read that the soft-coal mines
are overmanned in this country;
that the anthracite mines would be
were there not legal restrictions to
prevent 1t; that the mines of
Europe have more miners than
they need; that in England a
general strike is attempted because
any plan to put the mines on a
practical business basis would re-
suit in thousands of unnecessary
miners being thrown out of en-
ployment.
And once in so often we read of a
shocking mine disaster and of many
lives sacrificed, and labor leaders are
constantly pleading for more pay for
those whom they represent, telling
us of the terrible drudgery. exposure
and danger which they undergo, all
of which we assume is somewhat in
keeping with popular conception Of
work in a coal mine.
This condition of things would
seem sufficient to arouse curiosity.
Why are so many seeking a liveli-
hood in this manner? Is i because
of chronic unemployment stalking
abroad? Surely not in this country.
Is it because of inertia on the part
of the workers, Discrimination to
venture into other employment or
away from the mine mouth that
limits their horizons? Can it be
possible that the employment is not

PROPOSED FARM LEGISLATION

Congress muddling over farm
legislation is likely to feel that the
farmers of farms are not the only
ones having troubles. The House
is now considering three farm
measures, the Haugen, the Tincher
and Aswell bills. These were re-
ported back by the House agri-
cultural committee without recon-
mendation.
The Haugen bill in its terms re-
minds us of what is going on over in
England where the Government ap-
propriated money to keep the coal
mines going. The British experience
with this makeshift sort of subsidy
is not attractive. Congressman
asked to vote for the Haugen bill,
which would take 1915, 100000 out of
the Treasury to finance the buying
up of agricultural products to keep
the price up, regardless of how
much the increase of such surplus
may so be encouraged, should give
moment of consideration to Eng
lands difficulties with price fixing.
The Tincher bill would provide for
a Government loan of hundred
millions to a Federal Farm Board
and through that to cooperative
groups for a period not exceeding
80 years. Also this would empower
the Board to issue debentures to the
amount of billion dollars to facili-
tate orderly marketing. The Aswell
bill is described as compromise
between these two.
Agriculture admittedly has suffer-
ed since the war. This also was
true of coal mining in Great Britain.
In the latter instance once having
had the subsidy the subsidized now
prefer to fight rather than to per-
init it to be taken away. A subsidy
granted to farmers probably would
never be relinquished by them short
of severe Struggle. A perilous
precedent would be established. Be-
sides where may this Congress that
reduced the revenues find the funds
for this proposed legislation?

They WILL NOT BE DENIED

The spirit of-America is what 1t is
because of foreigners that came here
from other lands. 1t is thought the
so-called aborigines came here from
abroad, presumably from Asia. but
whether they did or not their i'm
press on the America we know is
negligible.
This Is a fact we best keep in mind
when considering those we have
with us and those who may wish to
come. We have grown a little
skeptical respecting our powers of
assimilation, somewhat in doubt
whether as melting pot" we are
not being overworked. These are
pertinent queries but every reason
exists why We should undertake to
answer them in fair, kindly and
truth-seeking spirit.
Speaking of DIR. Michael Pupin
who lectured in Philadelphia the
other day the Public Ledger says he
definitely ranks among the ben
efactors of our civilization. Yet he
was a Serbian boy who landed in
New York penniless though equip
ped with brains, a desire to use
them, capacity and disposition to
be tireless.

His father, once wealthy in Bavaria.
was obliged to peddle to support his

of the outstanding figures in this
country and has passed on after a
remarkable work as financier, as
diplomat and .philanthropist.
Recent events serve to bring these
to mind, but there are hosts of
others, who have come to this coun-
try impoverished and have enriched
the country in which they have
made their homes, all the way from
the Pilgrim Fathers to the present.
Their achievements are an inspir-
alton productive of tremendous in
fluence, waning perhaps the farther
the descendants get from the source
of that inspiration. Those of us,
whose fathers came here in poverty
and constructed wealth in the long
ago, best look to 1t that what they
accomplished shall be kept ever
fresh in our remembrance else will
we lose touch with the inspiration.
If the late-eomers are the only ones
to work under such inspiration,
then will the late Corners dominate.
While America remains America 1t
will never deny it's bounties to those
who are tireless, capable and con-
structive.
