Washington, May 12.-You can
match the protests Of several con-
gressmen that the Federal Alcohol
Control Administration is hampering
distillers against q current idea here
that FACA has let the boys run high,
wide, and handsome.
FACA has yet to hear from con-
sumers. Director Joseph Choate's
blast against the bootlegging mon
ster," which some officials think he
exaggerates, echoed the distillers'
plea for lower taxes and import duties
without mentioning what Senator
Borah calls huge, enormous, uncon-
scionable profits"
At about the same time, one of the
big wings of the whisky monopoly"
was found to have profited at the
rate Of 40 per cent in the last quar-
ter Of 1893.
Choate didn't mention that much
bootleg liquor now underselling dis
tillers' products is as good or better
than legal stuff. Treasury lab tests
show that.
Appointment Of Fred Lee q FACA
general counsel was hardly a body
blow to distillers. Before the big
bust-up at AAA Lee and George Peek
fought successfully for a distillers'
code eliminating the Nallace-Tu

Future Flight

Prof. Auguste Picard, the daunt-
less Belgian who flies up into the
shakespeare for recreation, believes
that man may some day solve the
problem OF interstellar travel and
make round trips to the moon or to
some Of the planets.
It is his notion that this may be-
come possible, not through the use Of
rocket engines or by firing huge pro-
jectiles from gigantic guns, but
through discovery Of the secret Of dis
migrating matter. He says that the
disintegration OF 100 pounds of lead,
for instance, would provide ample
energy for q round trip from the
Earth to the planet Mercury.
Now all this doubtless sounds re-
markedly like a pipe-dream, and 1t
probably shows that scientists, no
less than any other men. have mo-
ments in which their imagination
goes on the loose.
But 1t makes a nice picture, any
way. Dizzy or otherwise, It's some-
thing to look forward to.

Keeper of the Morals

That the moral standards OF the
country still are in the hands of the
rural population Is indicated In a
press release by the National Grange
reciting the numerous cases in which
proposals to set up state lotteries
have been defeated, partly through
its action.
Everywhere that this proposal has
been made the farming communities
have risen In their wrath and vetoed
it. The farmer takes sufficient
gamble with nature every year with
out indulging in any such wild specu-
lation as q lottery.
It may be that his hankering to
take a chance Is satisfied by the haz-
ards OF his occupation but more
reasonable view is that our rural
communities hold to stricter view
than Is true Of most large cities.
It Is no reflection on the moral
standard OF our metropolitan centers
to say that many city residents have
adopted a laissez faire attitude to-
ward the doings Of their neighbors.
The city man, not knowing who his
neighbor Is, is content to let him
alone unless their interests clash.
There is hardly such q thing as a
private scandal.
But In the rural districts it is diff
ferent. People think in the old terms
and regard themselves, more or less,
as their neighbours keeper. The re-
suit Is greater personal interest and a
standard Of conduct
It is good thing. too. The cynics
Of the east may refer to the middle
west as the Bible belt" but We need
take no offense at that. At least we
retain a consciousness Of right and
wrong and an inclination to look new
over carefully before en-
dorsing them.
In this, as in a good many other
things, the farming communities are
the anchor Of the nation. We can
take pride in the fact, even though
we recognize that, at times, the tend
ency can be carried to extremes.

It Had to Come

The approaching crlSS III Tie WAL
debt situation, created by the enact
ment Of the johnson bill and the de-
cision to enforce its drastic terms.
was something which had to come
sooner or later-and preferably SOON
er-if the matter is to be Strengthened
out on an equitable basis.
The war debt question has been
talked pro and con in this country for
q dozen years or more and everyone
is familiar with it. All Of US re-
member Coolidge's cryptic remark OF,
well, they hired the money. didn't
they?' and we can recall without dif-
ficulty the arguments for cancella-
ton.
That change has taken place IN
the American attitude within the last
few wears is obvious. The debt situa-
ton here at home has been SO much
in the forefront that the war debts
were a natural corollary. Efforts to
relieve the domestic debtor have re-
suited in more kindly attitude to-
ward the foreign nations which owe
us money. We still believe they ought
to pay all they can, but We are will
ing to sit down and discuss the mat
ter. In addition, the failures and re-
fusal to pay have emphasized the fu-
tility Of trying to get blood out OF
this international turnip, at least by
former methods.
The default by France and the
token payments by all nations except
Finland, the only one paying In full.
have made it quite clear that Europe
was willing to 60 along on that basis.
AS long as it was acceptable to US,
it certainly should have been accept
able to them.
Until Senator johnson, bitter
ender when it comes to collecting
these debts, advanced his idea of fl
nancial ostracism for those in de-
fault, we we're put in the position OF
not knowing what to do about it.
Now the situation changes. The
United States has swung club which
was ready to its hand all the time.
Only tic naivete Of our diplomacy has
kept us from using 1t before.
For the barring Of financial deal
ings with the nations in default is a
very real weapon. In time Of peace
it Is inconvenient for them, for this
has become the worlds leading money
market. In the event OF war 1t would
be tragedy, for Europe has nowhere
to look for money except to the
United States.
Granting that the new policy is one
of so-called narrow nationalism," it
at least faces the realities of the sit
uation and relieves US OF the fiat
baby" part which we too long nave
played in international affairs. Real
ism is a thing which Europe fully I'M
derstands.
We are simply in the position Of
creditor who, having debtor who
can pay but will not, refuses to ex-
tend further credit. That certainly
is fair.
Let the English newspapers cry
'highwayman" as they did Friday. It
will not hurt us bit. In fact, Eur
ope will respect us more if We act
with common sense than if We con-
tinue to accept the international
sympathy racket of which we have
been the gullible victim long enough.
In the present state of world affairs,
respect is . much better asset than
the so-called comfy Of nations.
