In the present unsettled state of world
affairs, with no nation knowing what other
nations may be doing tomorrow, the plan
to deal with present needs and hold off to

common sense and good business judgment
Furthermore. with the national debt within
pennies of the legal limit, it is in the inter

Similar forethought on other appropria
lions, in addition to the general supply bill
already whitfield down by $94,517,206, will
enable the congress to progress substantially

N TURN A PENNY

New York banks have turned a pretty
penny in government bonds by applying a
lesson they learned from the reserve banks.
They watched the reserve banks make q
profit by picking up treasury bonds as nearly
everybody else was selling and tightening
their holdings when the market reached out
for bonds. They have also seen money mar
ket conditions ~reassert themselves in govern.
ment bonds soon liter a war begins.
Therefore, when out-of-town banks began
to feel uneasy over the prospect of an in
classification of warfare on the western front
and to dispose of a large quantity of their
holdings, the reporting New York city banks
beat the reserve banks to the draw. The re-
serve banks, consequently, had nothing to
do in the treasury market in the week end.
ing last Wednesday. The banks had picked up
$123,O 900, 900 of treasury bonds which other
holders were anxious to get rid of. That would
have been a good weeks pickings for the
reserve banks.
Banks can make money in government Is
sues by going counter to the short swings
in the market. But if the long, upward trend
IN governments should be broken, these tao.
tics would cause the market to lose money.

Editorial Comments
From Other Angles
SKATERS PERIL
The Charlotte News

The death by automobile of a twelve-year-old
negro skater, not to mention the injury Of a
companion, points UP the grave necessity of a
community project which the Central Labor
union is sponsoring. That is for a dozen or so
cement courts scattered over the city, which
will be ideal for skating and useful during
other seasons for games of all kinds.
The park and recreation commission, whose
idea it is, would undertake the construction on
its own hook, had it the money. But it has no
money, and never will until the people of the
city say the word. Meantime, however, chill
dren will skate. Some of them will skate on
the sidewalks, where there are sidewalks, and
happy landings to them. But many, especially
the sidewalkless negroes, will skate in the
streets, and some of them will be killed, in
evitably.
We have taken precautions, in our habits,
for the automobile and it's deadliness. High
ways are continually being altered and i'm
proved for safety's sake. 1t is forbidden to
drive drunk or at more than a safe rate of speed.
Experience has evolved driving rules which
may be violated only at peril.
But we have made precious little allowance
for the safety Of children, and we have failed
to provide sufficient Fairgrounds where they
may dart around heedlessly, as they always
Will, without risk to their lives. These cement
courts will help to relieve that lack and, be-
sides, will be a capital asset to the city's credit.

Furnishing

The sentencing of a New Jersey school
teacher for whipping a five-year-old pupil
with the wooden handle of a carpet sweep
err to a term in states prison shows that
justice sometimes overtakes the culprit. But
1t does more than that. 1t draws attention
to the whole subject of corporal punishment
for children, whether in the school or the
home.
Persons who have given the matter serious
thought from a safe neutrality, generally
agree that .spankings are more an outlet for
parental or pedagogic temper than anything
else. They concede that some children ap
pear to need a licking, but insist the fault
is not their own but their parents or teach.
ers' who have failed to train their minds to
voluntary obedience.
However questionable this reasoning MAJ
be, it is a fact that, with rare executions
children can be reasoned out of mischief O,
naughtiness if sufficient patience and intel
ligence are employed, and that the strap is
no more effective in molding young charac
ter than is the sweatbox at a penitentiarv in
reforming a criminal.
Indeed, in both cases, it is probable that
the severe punishment only encourages fur
Their disobedience by creating a rebellious

anv wav constitute or threaten any so-called
involvement in European wars"
The nroposal is unheroic and the final state
n,ent ;s unfrank. since there is patiently no
reason for lending Finland anything save as
a means of influencing q European wal. But
if the President is cautious, the senate Is Ian.
tastic. Do the statesmen debate the loea OF
granting aid to Finland on Its mertts! 10
they consider how far American national In
terest is hound I'D with Finland's success, what
would be the actual risks Of offering some
assistance and whether the interests are worth
the risks? Not at all. The senators smother
the dangerous notion because, IN senator
Georges argument, if we break down restr1c-
lions on lending for war purposes TO f1hiano
or "any other hard case," then when the
struggle in the west rises to its climax the
pressures will be doubled. and redoubled to
break down the restrictions upon credits to
France and credits to Great Britain"
We don't dare lend to Finland, In other
words, because we are afraid we might find
ourselves one day under pressure to lend to
the French and British, and we don't dare
risk that because we are afraid that when such
a day arrives we shall be in such a trance that
we can't tell whether our interests will demand
that we lend to the French and British or not,
but will Just do it automatically. This, really,
seems to be carrying the scared-of-its-own
shadow school of craftsmanship to humiliating
depths. IhS paper believes the question OIL &C.
tive aid to Finland is too serious for hasty
decision; but is one which certainly should be
decided, on it's merits, and not buried in a
compulsion neurosis. AS it is, while Sweden
and Norway, for example, small powers imme-
diately under the shadow of Russian planes
and German guns, have the courage to tram
ship materials and send in volunteers, the
United States-the strongest, the most secure
and to Russia the most inaccessible power in
the world-confesses itself afraid, not even Of
the Russians, but Of itself.
One is tempted to ask how long the foreign
policy Of the United States can be safely left,
in the presence Of a great war, to the unlovely
combination Of hypocrisy and timidity here
starkly exemplified.
