Whether the American people
exercised good or bad judgment on
November is invariably a matter of
personal opinion. 1t depends on
what side of the fence you happened
to be-assuming that you weren't
straddling the fence itself.
For example, Michigan voters re-
jected three of the four state pro-
posalS. Home rule for Wayne county
again went down in defeat, along
with an increase of compensation
for state legislators and a constitu-
tional change permitting legislators
to run for state office.
The one surviving proposal was
the constitutional plan whereby a
municipality may supply and sell
water to houses outside the city
limits. If all four roposalS had been
defeated, proponents might have
concluded that an uniformed pub
lie had blindly voted mo-. Appar-
emily the people did THINK about
these constitutional changes. Wheth-
er their thinking was good or bad
is another matter-and your answer
will be governed by your own opin-
ions.

Red Market Now

Everybody knows the evils of black market
transactions. 1t is only now becoming known
that equal evils exs. in red market"
According to evidence gathered in New York
City, INSCRIPTIONS retail butchers are charg-
ing patrons red points for utility cuts of meat
which are ration free. The racket is an easy
one, it is claimed, because even an expert
cannot tell for sure the grade of piece of
meat once it is severed from the carcass.
Daniel P. Woodley, regional OPA chief in
New York, declares that the situation there
probably is duplicated in every community in
the country where a meat shortage exists, and
is causing headaches since the ration value
of butter advanced to 20 points pound
AS the revelations in the metropolis do not
involve arraignnent of all butchers, but
only those willing to take advantage of war
conditions, it is presumable that any other
community in similar fix has as large a
percentage of honest butchers as New York
Customers therefore, need only determine
which butcher shop is reliable and which not.
and patronize the shop of known dependable

they'll find themselves in the midst not only of

While there is no reason to be disappointed

Come Through

Leading women's magazine carried an in
conspicuous item the other day, observing
That there have been no serious epidemics
and no increases in child mortality" That
brief item appearing after three years of war
and with $4,000 physicians away in the armed
forces, is telling commentary on the calibre
OF work being done by the doctors on the
home front
Three years ago medicine went about its
task amid walls of doctor shortage" Elderly
physicians came out of retirement to help in
the pinch. Every day. "a hours day, thou

self to pull the country through the war with
out a letdown in our high health standards

There are signs (although we should still
knock on wood) that this titanic effort Of the
doctors is beginning to pay off, However. from
now until peace finally comes, the medical
men will need fullest public cooperation. Such
cooperation has been invaluable thus far in
the emergency, and will continue to be to the
end. So, remember what the doctors have
done for all OF us in these past three wears
and help to make the burden easier for your
doctor when you can.

Always The Same

We had something to say on Saturday con-
corning Eisenhowers message to the German
people warning them not to expect food, fuel
or clothing from the Allies and urging them
to conserve their resources as best they could
against the scorched-earth policy of the Army
as the Allies advance into the Reich.
Writing on the same subject Dewitt Mac
Kenzie tells of his experience when he march
red into Cologne with the British Army of Oc-
cupaton after the Armstce in 1918 and the
show the pompous burgomaster of that city
put on when he received war correspondents.
This burgomaster, says Mr.. Mackenzie. was
"a high and mighty, square-headed Prussian
of that super--ace type which ms :antly in
spires thoughts of manslaughter." The story
is too good to paraphrase. Says Mackenzie:
This arrogant heel received us in great,
oak-wainscoted room and had seated about
a long table. He presided at the head in an
ornate chair with throne-like back; behind
which stood an obsequious flunkey who serv-
ed as secretary We had no more than sat
down when the burgomaster demanded in
angry gutterals:
why have not the Allies sent US food and
clothing? l will not be responsible for the
attitude OF my people towards your troops if
we don't get supplies Immediately
1T was a clear threat of an uprising by the
Germans against the Armies of Occupation
Having ut cred it, his highness glowered about
the table and awaited his answer His glance
fell on me, and got up.
Mr. Burgomaster,' 1 said, the answer is
that the Allies are too much occupied with
trying to bring relief to the suffering peoples
in the areas of Belgium and France devas-
tated by the German armies
That's not true! There has been no such
devastation!'
Mr. burgomaster,' your scribe retorted
I'm telling you that I've just come from
devastated zone where there are long lines of
refugees. People are dropping dead from hun
ger and privation.'
For few seconds there was a great 81
lence and then my colleagues started to clap
their hands. His excellency was fit to be tied.
and looked like man about to have stroke
He opened his mouth to speak, but Just then
MS secretary whispered in his ear, and the
burgomaster didn't say it, Often since then
I've wondered just what the great man in
tended to hand me-
Mackenzie cites the incident as showing
what the attitude within Germany was then
and voices the thought that General Eisen-
movers fair notice should preclude any
such misrepresentation and anger as existed
at er the last war
PROBABLY 1t is only wishful thinking. The
Prussian element in Germany has changed
little IN century and more Why expect it
to have thrown off its demigodism between
these two World Wars

New Cabinet Post

Plans are taking definite shape for adding
another portfolio to the Cabinet. 1t would be
the eleventh executive department, commits
stoned to deal with foreign trade with an eve
especially to developing commerce after the
war.
There is reason to think that the project will
have White House endorsement and be pre-
scented in Congress early in 1915. If approved
the department would take over the activi-
ties of the Foreign Economic Administrati ton
and continue its operation into the peace era.
1t would maintain the FEAS extensive trade
intelligence service so that machinery would
be available to help advise world peace
agency on imposition of economic sanctions
against an aggressor and carry out necessary
moves The service also could detect any at
tempts at economic warfare.

COP HEADS URGE
PARTY REVISION

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-LP-
Reorganization of the Republican
party machinery on a four-year
basis with a full-time director is
advocated by COP leaders in the
Senate.
Senator Wherry of Nebraska, mi
nority whip, told reporter opin-
ion is running strong among his
colleagues that the Republicans
must lay the groundwork at once
if they expect to win in the 1916
Congressional and 1913 Presiden-
tial elections.
I'VE should have a full-time
chairman of the National Commit
tee, elected on a four year basis, "

paign by having a new man come
in and have to build up an organ

time"
In separate interviews. Senator
Vandenberg of Michigan, chair
man of the Minority Conference,
Senator Weeks of Massachusetts
member OF the National Commit.
tee, and Senator Brewster, Maine,
expressed similar opinions.
Republicans here are in the
dark about future plans of Herbert
