Statecraft Is
for Statesmen

All the bungling that has
brought the world to it's
present plight was not by the
politicians and statesmen.
How we'll we remember how
when the Dawes and Young
commissions undertook to
settle the financial ills Of
mankind the press rapturous-
ly exclaimed: "Now that
governmental matters have
been taken out Of the hands
Of politicians and turned
over to the bankers we shall
have a speedy solution!
And now the bankers, up
against it, throw the bad job
they made of it into the laps
of the politicians.
After all, statecraft is for
statesmen.
How fortunate that the
politicians disregarded the
almost unanimous protest OF
the. bankers in pushing the
Federal Reserve law to its
passage. The bankers in the
large money centers were al
most unanimously opposed.
At the convention Of the
American Bankers Associa"
ton in Boston in October,
1913, but two delegates tried
to speak in favor of a Fed
eral Reserve System, and
they actually were howled
down until the chairman
begged the bankers to at
least give them a hearing.
How fortunate for the
country and the bankers
that politicians like Garter
Glass and Woodrow Wilson
were not impressed but
pushed ahead until the bill
was law, From our read
ing Of history we should
say that in statecraft states
men are even wiser than
bankers.
We Americans love money
inordinately, and are prone
to ascribe all wisdom to men
who make vast amounts,
even when, through gov
ernmental privilege, they
get it out Of our pockets.
Thus we are hearing all the
time that government ought
to be turned over to success
full manufacturers Of pig
iron, bankers and stock
brokers. These men are spe-
cialists in their line and ex-
perts; but being an expert in
the manufacture of pig iron
no more qualities a man for
running government and de-
termining governmental poll
cies than for tampering with
the delicate mechanism Of q
watch.

M. Laval Is Now Treating
With Germany

IVA Laval 4S @NO" ~OS
With Germany
The European plan to
dump the debts Of the four.
teen nations into the lap OF
the American taxpayer grad
ually unfolds. M. Laval is
now treating with Germany.
We shall hear that Germany
must be relieved Of repara-
tions; that this is possible
only through relieving the
nations collecting the repara-
tions from the debts; and
this can be done only by the
people Of the United States
assuming the debts Of the
fourteen nations and paying
the cost of the war we did
not will.
In his Guild Hall speech,
Monday, Ramsay MacDon-
aid let the curtain down a
little more when he said:
"All States must make
concessions for the simple
reason that if they do not
the world will go from bad
to worse until collapse and
revolution may be the only
way out. What government
and what nation is going to
be responsible for that?"
And thus, playing the
game, he points his finger
directly at us.
The IA nations having go
years to pay will "concede"
to us the right to pay for
them, and we "concede" the
obligation. Thus we have
the "concessions" all around.

Tiger Foe
Scarlet to Use Pass Game in
Rivalry Fray With
De Paw.
By Times Special


CHARLOTTESVILLE, Ind, Nov
20.-A new aerial game will be en-
ployed for the first time by Wabash
when the Scarlet warriors renew
their 4O-year-old feud with De Paw
here Saturday.
A light session today was to wind
up the Little Giants preparations
for the battle. In Thursdays work
out, Coach Pete Vaughan polished
the new pass plays Freshmen dem
onstrated Tiger plays to the Wabash
varsity, and the drill ended with a
snappy signal practice. Vaughan
said the Scarlet would be in top
shape for the scrap.
De PauW's Tigers, accompanied by
hundreds of students and the school
band, we're scheduled to arrive here
Saturday morning. Coach Gaunny
Neal also wound up De Pauw's hard
work for the game with a light de-
fensive scrimmage against Wabash
plays as used by the frosh squad.
The GreencaStle eleven is a heavy
favorite in Saturdays battle due to
its impressive 1881 record which in
Guides but one defeat, and the pres
ence of several veterans in the line
up. Last year, a vaunted De Paw
eleven was held to a 7-to-6 verdict
by a supposedly weak Wabash ma
chine, and many expected repeti-
ton of this performance in the 1881

Cameras purse, approximately

$4,000, was tied up by another writ,
rendering him unable to satisfy the
judgment Immediately.
Events of Thursday night and
evening were not unmixed with
pleasure for the 272-pound Camera,
for he won unanimous decision
over Levinsky, former Chicago fish
merchant, after ten rounds of SPAR
ring, showing and wrestling tactics.
The decision was unpopular with
the loyal Chicago Levinsky follow
ers, who booed Camera Justify
when the verdict was announced.
Levinsky, who was upset by one of
Cameras short rights in the second
round, but did not take count,
started a belated two-fsted attack
in the final round which kept his
larger opponent on the run. Early
in the fight Levinsky raised bruise
under Cameras left eye. In the
third round the Chicagoan almost
toppled Camera, but delayed too
long in following up his advantage.
Levinsky weighed in at 1874.
