SECRETARY MELLON

Fortunate is the country which can
command, in the adjustment of its
finances during a crucial period, the
services of such man as Andrew w.
Mellon. The magnitude of his SER
vice to the nation will perhaps never
be fully appreciated, for he has done
his work with no brass band accom-
paniment.
1t means something financially to a
man of Mr.. Melons large interests
and unquestioned financial genius to
turn his back upon private business
affairs and give his time solely to the
national service. The earning power
thus sacrificed over a period of sew
eral years runs into big figures.
Secretary Mellon has his reward, it
is true, in the esteem of millions of
level-headed patriotic Americans who
realize the stupendous size of the task
Secretary Mellon confronted when he
took charge of the nations disorgan-
lied finances at the beginning of the
Harding administration, and that the
benefits of the stability and prosper
| ity which has ensued has extended to
every citizen of the republic.
But such service, too, for a man of
Secretary MELONS size, carries with
it its penalties. He has become the
target of the demagogue, whose polit-
ical stock in trade is cutlery against
"the rich" These political scaven-
gers have sought to find some crevice
in the Mellon armor through which
they could throw their javelins of
defamation.
The fact that Mr.. Mellon as Secre-
tary of the Treasury has run his office
in the interests of the whole people
rather than for political ends, has
drawn attacks not only upon Secre-
tary Mellon but upon all the business
| enterprises with which he was active
ly connected before he assumed his
| office
That man of the Mellon quality is
willing to accept high office in the
face of certain assault by the muck
rakers, the scandal mongers, the pol
iticians of small calibre who think of
no public problem except in terms of
votes, is testimonial to his partiot-
ism and his pure Americanism.
When the story of the war period
and the events following has been
written by the impartial historian, the
name of Andrew w. Mellon will no
doubt stand forth as that of one of
the greatest fnanciers this or any
other country has ever produced.
When his traducers have been for
gotten his name will be remembered
and honored by grateful people.

THE GREAT HOME INFLU-
ENCE

Two years ago there were few
ready-made radio sets on the market.
Today there are about 140, ranging
from crystal receivers selling as low
as $500 or $500, to the elaborate
super-heterodynes, costing hundreds
of dollars.
Mr.. F. NJ. Steers, president of the
Magnavox Co., says, Radio as a
necessity for the home is recognized.
A home without a receiving set will
soon be rare indeed. The missing of
broadcasts by day or night will be
considered as serious an injury to the
American people as failure to read
newspapers, magazines and books.
Manufacturers are spending large
sums of money for research and eX-
periments to perfect the receiving set
and gain simplicity Of operation. The
great advancement of the single dial
over the endless number of dials and
other operating devices of the earlier
sets, is an example of what has been
done in radio engineering. 1t is now
possible by simple turn of one dial
to get station. This advancement is
a wonderful advantage to people not
blessed with eyesight, as well as to
those in out-of-the-way places where
service and instruction are not avail
able, as it enables them to operate
their sets to the best advantage.
"Our children, long before they
read or write, will understand the
spoken message from radio receivers
and gain foundation for an educa-
ton that their parents had no oppor-
tunity of securing. This will mean a
better education for the coming gen.
Grafton and will be due directly to the
radio and its simplicity of operation.

WAR DEBT DIVISION

Senator Jim" Reed, of Missouri,
who has never seemed to have a kind
ly feeling toward any foreign country
except Germany,is up in arms against
the agreement for Italy's war debt
settlement. Having discovered that
Italy is paying 8 per cent on new
loan from ]. P. Morgan, Senator Reed
announces in clarion tones that if
Italy can do that, "then Italy is not
bankrupt; Italy can pay, and so far
as l am concerned, Italy must pay
the whole of the two billions she Dor
rowed from the United States, in
stead of a little more than one-fourth
of it, as has been agreed. Perhaps
the Missouri Senator thinks that de-
ceitful Italy still has the greater part
of the two billions and is drawing 9
per cent on it, and that the dealing
out of soldiers rations, the explosion
of shells, the creation of devasted
areas, etc, after all, was not a very
expensive business, and the plea of
hard conditions is only part of shift
ty creditors shady game.
The Senator ought to look in on
that remarkable movie" "The Big
Parade" see what modern war is like
and find out something about its man.
ifestly enormous costs. If he did, he
might conclude that Italy and France
have not the ghost of a
Ira or of franc left
of what they borrowed and that
they-especially France-spent many
millions besides. He might also get
a glimmering of the truth that the
more money they spent and the more
lives they lost, the less of both we had
to sacrifice when we finally sent our
soldiers to help put an end to the
monstrous world tragedy.
Mr.. Reeds fustian may please the
unrefecting gallery, but the hard
headed business man, as well as the
man of patriotic and generous i'm
pulse, is likely to be more impressed
by what Secretary Mellon said recent
ly to the Ways and Means Committee
of the House, in part as follows:
Europe is our largest custo-
mer. Unless the finances of Eu-
rope can be restored * this
