was done with the money.
Now and then it has cropped out that members

Some Congressman have admitted that they have re-

In Kansas it was proved that Attorney General

AS the farmers it, evey other section al

THE FRENCH DEBT

To the ominous tinkle Of the ever falling franc
the French debt the United States has been fund
ed at present value of so cents on the dollar.
All things considered this settlement with
France is perhaps the best debt deal the United
States has yet put over-if we get the money.
President Coolidge has given it his o. X but
both Congress and the French Parliament have yet
to raty the agreement and considerable opposition
is inevitable the Potomac we'll on the banks
of the Seine. There Inducements in the situa.
ton, however, leading to the belief that the agree
ment will win the necessary votes in both countries
First, France is on the brink of disaster fnan-

but today she is hanging only by her toes Even
the from Washington failed to check the
downward plunge of the franc on the Paris Bourse
The second element favorable to ratification is
the knowledge in this country that France is an
economic keystone in Europe and disaster to her
would mean disaster for ALL with serious re percus-
sions in the United States.
We began by saying the French settlement is
good If get the money. How is she going to
raise it?
She has national debt roughly equal to ours,
with only onethird our population and sixth of our
national income.
She owes, at home and abroad some five hun
dred million francs, at the present rate of exchange
or some thirteen thousand francs per capita Inter
burden of 500 francs every man, woman and
child in the country.
Then there are the other taxes in addition to
meet the ordinary expenses of government Now.
perhaps you understand why the franc fell in
Paris Friday following the glad tidings from Wash
fngton. Folks were merely asking themselves where
they were going to get the money to meet Frances
obligations to the United States, to England and to
her own citizens

The farmers do seem to have Congress in
corner
While just as convinced as Coolidge is that the
farmers principal proposal for their own relief is
'unsound economically" many members of Con-

men see it, they'll be mpaed pitchfork in No

Senator James E. Watson Of Indiana is one of
the latest to line UP. This has been easy for jim
for there is only political conviction that Jim
holds very tightly and that is the conviction that
the object of politics is to keep Jim in office. When
it has seemed strategic be for labor he has Leen

manufacturers, he has been for the manufacturers.
SO now wisdom seems to dictate that he be for the

PRETTY DESPERATE

Only a feeling of desperation would cause even
the most enthusiastic supporter of Senator Watson to
proclaim that his thirty years of public office is his
tory of the Republican party.
What do the men and women who remember
Roosevelt Mckinley, Beveridge, New, Hughes, Hard
ing or Coolidge say to such assertion?
Yet that is the statement made in all seriousness
bv the recognized Spokesman for Watson.
We're it true, then the Republican party could
claim not a single law single principle, or
single cause which it had consistently and conscien-
tiously championed
The history of Watson has been one of political
bargaining votes of expediency playing with patron
age and service to seekers Of special privileges.
True during the two years he was out Of office
he became lobbyist. His activities in that direc-
ton are matter of official criticism by congress
sona committee composed Of members Of his own
party.
AS candidate for Office he has consistently run
behind his own ticket
He has been returned to Office again and again
only through the popularity of some leader who over
Swallowed his own defects.
1t is significant that he has not had the ndorse-
ment or any colleagues in the Senate has the
port of any of the outstanding leaders of his own
party in this State.
He has machine, an organization Of Office hold
ers and job seekers and one else
Certainly there must be thousands of men and
women of the Republican party who resent the sug-
gestion that their party is dedicated to the practices
and principles Of Watson
For if Watson be the personifcation of pure Re-
publicanism, what would you say Coolidge is or
Roosevelt was?

THE AUTHORIZATIONS OF
EUROPE

Guglielmo Ferrero, renowned Italian historian,
writing in ILLUSTRATION, Of Paris raises a cry of
alarm over what he calls the Amercanization of
Europe.
Rapidly he says, Europe is becoming American
lied and Europe can not become a copy Of
America because her very existence is tied up with
certain elements Of the ancient order Destroy these
and you destroy Europe"
What does Ferrero mean by the Amercanzation
of Europe? The disappearance of the mental mind;
the transformation of the masses; the eveling of the
classes; the new and independent outlook life of
those who, ten years ago, perfectly content to
be the humble servants of their social superiors.
Ferrero recalls visit to the United States
enteen years ago. Just before he returned home he
asked what he thought Of America. He replied
that in his widest imaginngs he had never dreamed
any country could be so rich. But million
aires, he observed, had idea what luxury meant,
or what really comfortable living was, compared
with Europeans An American family, he illustrated,
had to be fairly we'll off to afford cook and maid,
whereas in Italy every family with $1,000 year in
had couple of servants. With $4,000 year
there was houseful of domestcs Wallets and what
not
Today, Ferrero says, Europe stands where
America was at the time of his visit The serving
classes fought in the great war. They looked death
in the face and learned to laugh Their minds grew.
Their outooks changed. Women went into muntion
factories did other war work. Their ideas altered
also The peasants and the generally came
to look at things from entirely angle And,
once the over thought of going back
to the old existence They expected and demanded
Of life, something altogether different.
But Europe is not America" the historian
warns. Her future is too uncertain. The interests
of her peoples clash too violently and at too many
points Neither her international peace nor the
domestic tranquility of her component nations is
any too sound basis.
Against such background as this he declares,
the clash between the new, or Americanized order
and the old-which, for than a thousand years
has been inbred into her very life-may throw Fur
ope into social chaos
Admitting Europe must be reconstructed Fer

NO MARRIED
TEACHERS

Only single women have been
appointed to teaching jobs for the
next school year in South Bend.
The school board does not want
married women in the schools ex.
cept as substitutes or to fill va
cancies.i
OF course the school board Of
South Bend is privileged to
adopt such policy as it sees fit in
selection Of its teaching corps. 1t
may parcel out the jobs among
windows, single girls, grand
mothers, red-headed or cross.eycd
maids.
But why put up the bars against
married teachers?
1t is true that some single
women compelled OF work for a
living complain that married
women. who work not from eco
nomic necessity, but for spending
money or to crafty their tastes
for luXuries, are unfair COMPETE
ton. They believe jobs should go
to those who need them.
However, there is another side
to that complaint. Single girls in
store and Office who are efficient
and interested in their jobs don't
worry about competition of mar
ried women.
Just because a woman has a
husband she isn't necessarily UNI
fitted for teaching. In spite Of it
she may have brains and be
equipped with the knowledge,
training and experience to be
most successful instructor Of boys
and girls While she may have
neither temperament nor talent
for household duties.
If woman has a gift for teach
ing and an urge for a pedagogic-
al career, it isn't good public pol
icy to bar her out of the schools
on the grounds she is married.
Not much is gained for society by
compelling a natural-born teacher
to stay at home, making sodden
biscuits and bilious pies and
spreading dyspepsia through q
whole neighborhood.

VOTES AND
STRIKE

Students Of South Side High
School, FIT. Wayne, went on a
strike Thursday and left educa-
ton fiat on its back, as a protest
against the dismissal Of a popular
football coach. They went back
TO their books yesterday on the
promise of the school board to con-
slider their grievances.
1t wasn't necessary to call out
the militia, import strike-breakers
or dispense the mob with tear
bombs.
Nevertheless, though short and
bloodless, the episode will furnish
material to soured morahsts and
carping critics of youth. To them
it proves the responsibility and
the Haunting of authority by
modern youths and the over en-
phasis Of athletics in our high
schools.
Imagine high school pupils
striking over the dismissal Of a
mathematics teacher and marching
to the city hall in protest.
Perhaps the carping critics are
right. Certainly there is nothing
sillier than a school strike. such
strikers adopt the attitude they
are cruel victims OF a remorse-
less school board; that they con-
fer not to receive benefits by condo
scending to attend school. Which
isn't the case at all.
But the incident is not so alarm
ing 1t doesn't prove anything
about the waywardness of modern
youth, or too much interest in
high school athletics. 1t merely
proves the arrival Of spring.
Most OF us, whether we are at
tending school or running a bank,
at this season feel like giving the
job a dirty look and walking out
on strike.
