In this year of our Lord, Americans
are drinking more whisky than they
did before prohibition. and paying
taxes on it. Three hundred millions
of gallons of bootleg liquor is not in
cluded in the statistics. Beer drinking
has fallen off so per cent, according to
reports from Washington. Prohibition
restored whisky as the national drink.
Thomas Jefferson, who thought beer
would provide an antidote to drunken
ness. which was widespread in his day,
would be disturbed by the beer news.
But he was old-fashioned.

Figures supplied by the League of
Nations show that European countries
have spent about S6OO0,O00,00O since
the last war on killing machinery for
another war, while carefully refrain
ing from paying the $10,000,O00,000
that they owe us.
1t is announced from Paris that, for
the fourth time, France will default
on the war debt to the United States.
And it is probable that England will
default again, as she did last time.
Last time she handed Uncle Sam "a
TOKEN" saying:
"Please accept that, and don't call
1t default"
1t is doubtful that this country
would accept token this time. Eng
land probably either faces a substan-
tial payment or official default.

"Steel" is looking up, the output be-
ing at a higher level now than any
time since June, 1880.
Incidentally, in Geneva, where world
news and war news centers, it Is
learned that "the nations are strength
ening every military branch of their
governments"
If all this getting ready should end
as it usually does in Europe you would
see United States steel production 20
up fast. Many million tons of iron
would be needed for killing.
1t is to be hoped that this time our
government will not send ten thousand
million dollars to enable Europe to pay
for her killing machinery, as was done
last time.
