are usually expended abroad. While
aU kinds of business in Europe will
feel this, and some of it will be a long
time recovering, it ought to be a g'ood
thing for pretty much all hands in
America. Every dollar expended here
is just so much to help oui’ own people,

After ail, it doasn’t appear that any
thing is happenir.$r to China that it
cares to worry much about.
The embargo which Italy and Greece
have put or, ail wi'i nnt -saiious-
ly bother this country as long as there
are so nva.ny people who cannot tell
the difference between olive oil and
cotton seed oil; and the latter is the
cleaner product anyway.
The;re is but one righteous thing for
England to do.
She* Has encouraged the loveless
ntarriages of “war brides to assure
herself future soldiers. She has been
uiiable to prevent the women Of other
fighting nations from hav&g moUier-
h^ monstrously farced upon them.
She has; uttered no word of protest
when Fellovrs of the Royal Gebrgra-
phical society of London have publicly
advocated polygamy as theonly hopeof
reDopulating Europe after the war.
England, then, should stop
' pale, pink patter about forgiviag war
mothers. She should study a law that
has lately been enacted in Norway,
then command parliament forthwith to
pass a similar one—a law giving the
so-called illegitimate child the right
to bear its father’s name, if the moth
er so wishes; a law Eiving that child
equal rights with children born in
wedlock in all mattel's of inheritascfe
—and of war relief^
Then England can safely leave it to
God Almighty to forgive tl^ war
