German War Decoration

The war decoration worn by the
Germans in the World war is some
times mistaken for a Maltese cross,
but 1t is the iron cross and dates from
the former Prussian kingdom. 1t was
presented for the first time in 1918
for bravery and merit, regardless of
rank. It was renewed in 1870 and
again in 1914. :"
In 1913 the iron cross had curved
arms and silver border The front
side was smooth, and the reverse had
three oak leaves, the initials of the
donor, and beneath that the year. In
1870 this cross bore the letter "W"
for the kaiser's name, and above It a
crown. 1t was the same in 1914 ex-
cept for the change in dates.

MacD Donald and Debt Cancellation

Prime Minister James Ramsay Macdonald, erstwhile
leader of the British labor party and head Of the labor
government, is fighting with his back to the wall. In an
address just the other day he made a declaration that
should be of interest to the American people.
Speaking of the World war he said that the Hoover
moratorium would never be heard of again and that can
collation. of all war debts was certain to. take place. This
is interesting to say the least coming from a man who is
as outstanding and fearless as this British prime minis
ter.
1t is likewise interesting because if the war debts
are cancelled American taxpayers will hold a big bag
containing an $11, 900, 000,0O war debt which Ameri-
cans must pay.
This debt represents the S11, 900, 100000 in liberty
bonds which must be paid by the American regardless
of moratoriums or debt cancellations. It also serves to
remind the intelligent who are informed on this side OF
the Atlantic that more than $40, 600, 900, 600 has been in
vested by this government in European countries or loan
ed to European governments or individuals since the
United States entered the war on the side of the Allies in
the long ago.
\ There are billions represented in the floatations OF
liberty bonds. They will not be r~epudiated by the Amer
lean people. Now if cancellation of war debts comes who
holds the bag? Who pays the price?

Bishop Cannon Must Stand Trial

Bishop James Cannon, Jr, and his secretary, Miss
Ada Burroughs, are up against the real thing now. lndict-
ments have been returned against them by a grand jury
sitting in and for the District of Columbia. These mdlct-
ments concern the receipt and disbursement of campaign
funds in Virginia in the campaign of 1923 when the blsh-
Oh led his famous bolt against Alfred E. Smith and Joseph
#. Robinson.
In other words the bishop is charged with having
failed to make correct reports Of the disbursement OF the
funds as required by federal law. It will be recalled that
he defied Chmn. Nye and the senate investigating com
mittee. that he refused to answer questions asked by ,Nye
and his fellow senators; that his secretary likewise stood
pat and snooted or flouted the committee ana It's chan-
man.
Now the bishop must stand trial Now his secretary
must stand trial. No man should be permitted TO De ABOVE

politics and handle campaign funds they should be COM
pelled to make returns to the government Cor Its proper
