WHY ARE WE DIsLIKED?

If foreign cartoons are TO be believed
to represent the sentiment of other coun-
tries toward the United States, it would
appear that we are considered nation of
greedy noney-grubbess, seeking to ex-
plot the result of the world for our own
selfish gain
We doubt that this sentiment really
exists to the extent our critics would have
us believe. But if it does exist, survey of
Americas activities in relief and restora-
ton work should prove such sentiment
to be unjust
A case in point is the work of the Near
East Relief through which citizens of the
United States donated $100, ZOO. 900 for the
saving Of million and half lives, includ-
ing 1859 orphan children, besides feed
ing more than twelve million people dur
ing famine periods. This represents the
achievement of only one humane organ
izatisa of American origin since the war
Many millions have been sent to
other parts of the world for rehabilitation
famine and disaster relief, medical aid,
and education. The total will probably
never be known.
In the matter of war debts our gov
eminent has been lenient, even generous
particularly when it is considered that the
World War was not of our making, but
was brought about through the selfishness
and hypocrisy Of European political lead
ers.
Our own statesmen have made some
mistakes. They would not have been
human had they not made them. But in
the broader view our country has always
been on the side of justice, humaneness
and peace.
Why, then, should we be disliked by
the rest of the world?

GOVERNOR GENERAL SMITH

The volunteer cabinet-makers for
President-elect Roosevelt all seem to run
up against the same snag-what to do
with ZAP Smith, so it appears to The
Citizen. They can't seem to be able to
place him.
He doesn't seem to fit in as Secretary
Of State, because he is too frank and
truthful. for the diplomats. "Al" Smith
would shock the diplomats daily. The
Treasury Department is bit out of his
iife. Not being lawyer the Department
OF Justice is not for him and while he has
been dubbed "The Happy Warrior" his ex-
perience with armies and nayies has not
fitted him for departmental service at
Washington. The other cabinet posts are
not sufficiently important to attract him.
He would make wonderful postmaster
general, but Farley is ahead of him there.
In this emergency, some bright genius
has evolved the idea of making "Al" Smith
the gcyernor-general of the Philippines.
The idea is an excellent one-for the
FilipinOs. 1t is not SO good an idea from
the Smith point of view. It is entirely too
Tar from East Side, West Side and other
points All around the town."
IA" Smith is the sort of man who
hikes paople-and plenty of people around
aim He is sociable. democratic and likes
a,crowd, He would be . very lonesome
chap in the Philippines. And he will
absolutely refuse to go there.
The United States senate is his future
home, although he still may have bis eye
on the presidency, but he was born too
soon for that.

BANKERS HAVE FAILED

Our International bankers have had
their opportunity to direct the efforts OF
our government in the solutionio the prob
lens of the present time and they have
signally failed.
They have saved the world from fl
nancial ruin with the aid OF the tremendous
resources Of our government and at the ex-
pense Of tremendous suffering on the part
of our people.
The government, directed By the great
banking interests, has seen only the safety
0f monAv as the needed objective.
The efforts Of the government, di-
Fected BY the great international bankers
have not been sufficiently in the line OF
solving the business problems of the nation
and the domestic problems of our people
In the last election the people demon.
stFated that they sensed this condition and
- result they withdrew their support
from the government and political leaders
suhssrTient 90 the bankers.

No problem is more diff

pends the restoration of a

for until we find a way to
rehabilitate the farms and
restore the purchasing power
of the thirty millions in

reasonably may hope for re-

MARRY-GO-ROUND
BY Helen Rowland.

She gets positively addicted
to running the vacuum cleaner
to the rhythm of 'Moanin'
Low" or rattling the dishes to
the notes of Just Couldn't Say
Good-by." She shudderS to
think how still and lonely the
house would be without an an
nouncer. And what mischief
would a married man get into
without a radio to greet him
in the evening? It's really a
MORAL issue!
And, there are the commun-
ity sandals, and the family
shoe horn and the bath sponge
you brought from the tropics.
And his pen knife, and her
cold cream; his warm, woody
bathrobe and her manicure
scissors; his big, soft handker-
chiefs for removing the make
up; and her hair pins for
cleaning his pipe. You SEE
now 1t is!
Who is going to dry his
safety razor, and fix his spin
ach and put his boots on the
right trees and make him gar
gle his throat with aspirin?
Who is going to bring in the
evening papers and set the
clock by his watch and take
the dog for a walk and carve
the fowl and mix the punch?
Some other man? Some other
woman? Perish the thought!
Thus do thousands of mar
riages pass safely over the
breaking point-until they
"click" again, and go on
