From his viewpoint that's the
right way to think, the right
way to act.
AND, ETHER YOU
AGREE WITH HIM OR NOT,
HIS SINCERITY DESERVES
RESPECT AS MUCH AS
YOURS.
.. His Perfect Right
He thinks according TO his
lights. And, however dim his
lights, he has a RIGHT to
think according to them. That
is his way of growing-his way
of arriving at the truth. And,
because of that, HIS RIGHT
TO THINK AS HE PLEASES
is HIS MOST SACRED RIGHT.
YOU SHOULD RESPECT
EVERY MANS RIGHT TO
THINK IN HIS OWN WAY.
YOU SHOULD BELIEVE IN
EVERY MANS SINCERITY
AS YOU EXPECT HIM TO
BELIEVE IN YOURS.
That is the fundamental law
of fair and friendly human
relationship, and you'll never
be able to understand people
or get along with them until
you obey that law.
But if you will obey it,
your whole life will be changed.
your whole viewpoint toward
other people will shift, and
theirs toward you. You will
find yourself infinitely more
flexible, and at the same time
more forceful. You will have a
tenderness toward people, and
a power over them, which you
never had before; and in the
exhileration of this new adven-
ture you will forget most of
your old miseries, fears and
peeveS.

Harmless in sense, but why
let such little things speak
aloud when there are really
admirable qualities of heart
and mind that are outstanding.
It is a sort of heartless fun
that you think you have, over

But you prefer the biting
word-the sharp stab-and

are destroying us all. The fact
that she has formed military
alliances with other nations has
an evil look.
Lloyd George, by no means
impartial, says she has the
most formidable military ma,
chine the world has ever known;
and reminds us that part of the
contract, which Mr.. Guthrie
thinks sacred, was that after re-

American Society in New
York gave an amity" din
ner in commemoration of the
treaties of 1778 and York
town. Here protests were
made against an alleged
"wave of anti-French prop
aganda" in this country. We
have observed nothing rising
to the dignity of prop
aganda, but this does not
disprove it's existence.
However, in the speeches
made, it does seem to us that
there was not a little prop
aganda against Germany
the sort with which we be-
came all too familiar during
the war. The purport of the
speeches was that the Ger
man reparations are not too
high {; and that Germany can,
sooner or later, meet her
reparat ons obligations.
Much was said about the
sanctity of contract or
treaty.
This made necessary a
stand against the cancella-
tion"-to use the fraudulent
term intended to deceive the
American people-of the
debts due US. One simply
cannot blow hot and cold.
Guthrie Attacks
Foreign Bankers
William D. Guthrie, dis
tinguished lawyer and head
Of the society, set forth the
theory that the French be-
lieve that Germany bor-
rowed far more money at
handsome interest from
American and English bank
ers than she paid out in
reparations; and then, find
ing she could borrow no
more, used President Hoover
to get a moratorium. Mr..
Guthrie is convinced Ger
many can pay in time; and
that the policy in the crisis
Is to postpone payments, if
necessary, but to hold on to
the treaty obligation. And
then he turns to the propa-
ganda for the transfer of
the debts of IA nations to
us:
"Certainly we should not
urge France to release Ger
many in order that the
hundreds of millions of
dollars that our bankers
loaned to Germany may be
more readily repaid. Eng
lish bankers borrow wed
enormous sums from France
at 4 per cent interest and
then loaned it to Germany
at 8 per cent, and these very
bankers are now urging that
their debts be given priority
over the French claims for
reparations. The same is
true, alas, Of many of our
own bankers. They too were
tempted by high rates Of
commissions and interest to
risk hundreds of millions Of
American money"
Even so, the reparations
controversy is not our busi'
ness - since we refused
reparations. But the plan to
cancel" or transfer the
debts of other peoples, who
owe them, to our people,
who made them, is our busi-
ness.

tue of commissions and COM
mittees. Finding that the
loss of confidence among the
people has resulted in the
"hoarding" of money, he
calls a conference of business
men and bankers who re-
solve to drag this hidden
money out from it's hiding
place and put it in circula-
tion. This is going to be
done through the medium of
"education." The people of
small m cans, fearful lest
their savings be swept away,
are to be roundly scolded for
their loss of faith-by the
people who gave ample rea-
sons for the panic fear.
The President wants them
to invest their money in
conservative stocks" or de-
post it in banks that it may
be loaned.
They stopped investing in
stocks because of the memoir
able licking the small in
vestor got two years ago on
the market; and the timid be-
came fearful of banks be-
cause of the unprecedented
number of failures during
the Hoover regime.
The fact that at the height
Of the absurdity Of the
gambling saturnalia on the
market, when many began to
doubt and pause in invest
ments, the Administration
and preceding Administra-
ton assured them that all
was sound and we'll, and
thus led many like sheep to
the shambles, has destroyed
the faith of the average man,
with hard-won money, in the
assurances of the Admins
tration.
How are Mr.. Hoover's con-
ferees going to drag this
money, which belongs to the
people who have it, out from
its hiding place?
Refuses to Consider
Prosperity Loan
Thus far Mr.. Hoover's two
great plans for the restora-
tion of confidence have
failed to work.
There is anot h er plan
which he stubbornly refuses
to consider "a prosperity
loan of from three to five
billion dollars to put mil
lions of jobless men on a
pay roll, for work that is
needed and will aid billions
in wealth to the nation
through public improve
ments.
If Mr.. Hoover and his
advisors want to get the
money in hiding out let him
offer this loan to the people
and see how quickly the
boarded money emerges to
buy the bonds.
The hoarder is not just a
miser with a twisted brain;
he has worked hard for his
money and skimped himself
to save, and he would rather
have interest on his money
than keep it buried where it
cannot grow.
But he is afraid of stocks
Just now, and, rightly or
wrongly, he is afraid of
banks, but he is not afraid
of the safety Of a Govern
ment loan.
When this money emerges
to buy Government bonds,
it goes into circulation, into
wages, into purchases at
stores, and it furnishes fuel
for cold furnaces, and goes
far to restore prosperity and
confidence. And with con-
fidence restored the indus
trial bonds that are "con-
servative" will be bought,
and the boarded m oney
hereafter will be a memory.
Let this new commission
or committee consider that
way out.

MISS MAUD MAY
 WILL MAKE 'VAGABOND
 VOYAGE ROUND WORLD

A doctor, a stewardeSs and g passengers will be companions of Miss Maud May on a "vagabond voyage" around the world aboard the freighter, Parrakoola, which sails from San Francisco next Jan- uary.
 With a somewhat sketchy itiner- ary as a guide, the party will sail from San Francisco in January to spend six months on the high seas calling at ports in Australia and New Zealand, cruising through the Indian Ocean to Oden on the coast of Arabia, north through the Red Sea and Suez canal to Port Said in the Mediterranean.
 Dunkirk, France, Antwerp, Goth enburg and Oslo on the coast or Norway will be ports of call before the Parrakoola turns westward to the Atlantic, south through the Caribbean and the Panama canal and north up the coast of Califor- mia to San Francisco.
 The Parrakoola is Swedish ship of the General steamship line and accommodates it's passengers in de luxe quarters. The sister ship IS the Murragooka.
 Miss May is now in San Fran cisco; she will sail June for the annual summer voyage in Alaskan waters. She will return to Ere mont, Neb., in the fall before leav- ing on her round the world cruise.
 Fremont's inveterate traveller formerly spent many winters in Havana, Cuba, and more lately, has been summering in Alaskan waters. She is a good sailor and is anticl- pating her globe-circling jaunt with great deal of interest and pleasure.
 Seward has always been Miss Mays Alaska home and her many friends here will be happy to learn she will return.

VETERANS COLUMN
World War Pension

With the exception of an insig- nificant number (41 in 193D, men who served during the World War do not receive pensions. Neither do the widows of such men (except 12 in 193D.
 The disability allowance granted by Act of July 3, 1880, is almost universally known as pension. When a man receiving such dis ability allowance dies, the allow ance ceases, and under the present Act of 1881, widows and children of such men do not receive either the allowance or a pension.
 The only widows and children of World War veterans now entitled to any benefit are those of vet eranS who die of service connected disabilities for which they were re- ceiving compensation at time of death, or were entitled to such compensation.
 Contact the nearest Veterans or ganization for further information regarding this subject as it is quite complicated and conditions must be properly set forth to obtain such benefits, when same are due.
