to continue doing so in the fut- ure.
 Ingratitude is evidently not a part of the Finnish national makeup. The Films remember that Uncle Samuel helped them when they badly needed help and are mindful of the fact that it is just as dishonor- able for a nation to refuse to pay its debts as for an individ- ual. How different from the way of the rich and powerful nations who cry Shylock to the nation which saved their necks from certain destruction and refuse to pay their honest dues, even after they have been reduced to a fraction of what they should be because Uncle Sam is SO soft-hearted he hates to make the other fellow stick to his bargain if it hurts him too badly.
 Again we say, "All honor to little Finland! Plainly she has not the welching spirit and in a world of greed and graft and duplicity still recognizes that honor is beautiful thing. Although she is among the least of the debtor nations, in honor, it seems, she is greatest of them all!

FINLAND NO WELCHER

All honor to little Finland !! Not only has she paid the Dec ember 15 installment of her war debt in full, but, further more, has announced her in- tention to continue the full pay ment policy in the future, in accordance with her funding agreement with the United States.
 Quite contrast with the attitude of some of the much larger and wealthier nations who owe similar obligations to Uncle Sam.
 It is true that the amount Finland is called upon to pay is small by comparison, but then it is also true that Finland is a very small country with very small resources; in fact, one of the smallest and poorest of European nations. For this reason the burden of paying her war debt installments of hundreds of thousands of dol lars falls just as heavily on her people as would the millions which the larger and wealthier nations are supposed to pay, but don't. r-.
 France, for instance, has a population of 40 million people and immense resources to draw upon. Finland has 4 million people and extremely slender physical resources. All the other debtor nations have pop ulations at least seven or eight times greater than that of Fin land and every one of them have national incomes from four to nearly one hundred times greater than that of the little nation by the Baltic.
 But although undoubtedly the smallest and poorest of all the debtor nations, Finland makes no attempt to plead those facts as an excuse to evade her just obligations. h. stead she pays on the dot and tells the world that she means

KING EXPRESSES
VIEWS ON LIQUOR
TeIIs Columbia Heights Citi-
zens' Education Is SoIu-
ton for Problem.

In evolving a systerl Of liquor con-
troll for the District of Columbia
Chairman King of the Senate DISTRICT
Committee said he will not follow
recommendations made by citizens OF
the city unless he thinks the recon-
mendations are right. This statement
was made in the course Of speech
before the Columbia Heights Citizens
Association. He also said he thought
the only ultimate and satisfactory set
tlement of the liquor problem will be
through education.
He stressed the burden Of dual taxa
ton borne by many localities and said
the present problem of the Federal
Government is to find source of rev.
enue which will not interfere with
State and municipal taxes.
We are now the most heavily taxed
people in the world, he said, turning
In approximately 80 per cent of earn
ings to pay the cost of government.
People Losing Initiative.
Despite this heavy burden. the ap-
petites of the people for still greater
governmental expenditures is growing,
he stated, deploring that the rank and
file of the population is losing its in
itiative and coming with hat in hand
asking favors of the Federal Govern
ment.
He urged all citizens to set their
faces firmly against centraHzing forces
which he said, are leading toward So
cialism. He condemned the realist
school of political philosophy for its
lack of idealism.
Proposals for Federal control Of edu-
cation received his especial disapproval
He said this would make for standard
tzation and open the door for propa-
Fanda.
Referring to the coming hearing be-
fore the Senate District Committee on
o District nquor-control bill, he said
the committee will follow recommenda-
tions Of the citizens only If they think
the recommendations are right, and
not otherwise. The liquor problem can
only be settled satisfactorily through
education. he said.
Urge Slower Traffic.
The association adopted a resolution
urging the slowing down of traffic on
Washington street, abolition Of street
car safety zones and a regulation to
compel automobiles in all cases to stop
behind a stationary street car, and
that there would be yellow light to be
used exclusively by pedestrians.
1t was pointed out that in fixing a
speed limit, authorities should consider
that large percentage of drivers habit
ually exceed the legal rate and that
limit of 80 miles an hour on certain
streets is entirely too high.
Urge Parking Space.
Another resolution urging construc-
tion of parking space in conjunction
with all Government buildings ample to
accommodate cars of all employees was
adopted. 1t was pointed out that the
triangle in the 1400 block of Pennsyl-
vania avenue could be used for an un-
derground garage without impairment
Of the landscape. The association
pointed out that parking space had
been provided for officials and chiefs of

TOLUMBIA, Mo.-Chester L. Brewer,
~ director of athletics at the Uni
versity of Missouri, went back
coaching this Spring and found it "a
lot of fun," almost like "the old days"
With his 12-year-old son beside him
on the bench, he directed the Tiger
base ball squad group of promising,
hustling sophomores seasoned with a
veteran or two.
1t was Brewers first direct contact
with college athletics in the capacity
of coach since he returned to Mis-
souri, from the University of California
10 years ago. When he came to Mis-
souri, for his first term as athletic
director, however, he coached every
thing"
That was in 1911. Not only did he
tutor the squads in foot ball and bas-
ket ball, he recalled, but also in track
and base ball With some assistance
from volunteer help he marked the
chalk lines on the field before games
Il think We had more fun in those
days before the big business spirit in
vaded college athletics" Brewer said.
