NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENT EVENTS fope Urges Germany Be Treated With More Leniency for World's Sake. FRANCE BECOMING ISOLATED Allies Oppose Her Claims at Lausanne —Probable Platform Material in President Harding's Western Speeches—Rum-Bringing Foreign Ships May Be Seized. By EDWARD W. PICKARD CERTAIN officials of the gov ernment have declared that if/foreign ships persist in the practice of bringing oeverage liquors into American ports un der seal, the vessels will be seized and the captains arrested. What dc you think would be the effect of this on our diplomatic relations nations? POPE PIUS XI has added himself to the number of those who seek to persuade France to let up on Ger many, taking the stand that justice, world pence and the Interest of the creditors can best be served by a policy that will not exhaust the resources and impair the productiveness of the debtor nation. Premier Poincare has been asserting that his policy was supported by the Vatican, but the pontiff, through the medium of a letter to Cardinal Gas parri, now refutes this claim and takes the same stand as that of the British government and Premier Mussolini of Italy—though the latter lias been less insistent than Downing street. In his letter the pope suggests that the amount of German reparations be determined by impartial Judges fur nished with adequate data and with means to control the reparations sums. He continues: "Likewise, If It Is just that creditors should have guaranties proportional in Importance to their credits and such as will assure collections from which vital Interests depend, we leave it to such creditors to consider whether it Is necessary to maintain at all costs territorial occupation implying heavy sacrifices for both the occupied and occupying countries, or whether it is rather preferable to resort, even though more gradually, to more proper ami less odious guaranties. "Once both parties accepted such peaceful terms and ended their bitter ness and territorial occupations, It would be possible to reach that sincere pacification and peace which Is India pen sable for economic reconstruction and !s ardently desired by all. "This pacification and reconstruction is such a great blessing for all nations as to justify any grave sacrifice." Premier Theunis of Belgium, whose cabinet resigned on a local Issue, has not been able to form a new ministry nnd the Franco-Belgian solidarity on questions concerning Germany is grow ing weaker daily. In effect, Poincare Is being isolated and his position is becoming more and more difficult. The French budget Is demoralized because In it immense sums are listed as recov erable from Germany, and the franc is falling in value. Maybe the economic experts who condemn the course of the French In the the, best of the argu ment. but If seems to some of us that when they assert that the Industrial demoralization of Germany means the nin of Europe. If not of the entire world", they are overlooking what the economic ruin of France means. The French simply must obtain from Ger many the greater part of what they claim, and this greater part Germany has shown no Intention of paying un l«T nor conditions. ONE cannot help thinking that at Lausanne also justice Is not be ing done to the French financially. The British and Greeks there are turn ing against the French demand that the Turks pay their honds on a gold franc basis, which is three times more valuable than the paper, franc. The English call this "unreasonable," but the French reply that the pound ster ling, is nearly normal, so the English bondholders will be paid almost on a gold basis. France is now willing to leave this matter out of the peace treaty with Turkey and to settle it later by negotiations. The Turks are insistent that the bonds be paid at the present rates of exchange and their delegates at Lausanne have been In structed to quit the conference if the allies do not yield. In order to test Russia's willingness to "come back Into Europe/' the allies decided to Invite the soviet govern ment to sign the Turkish straits con vention when the treaty is completed. The representatives of England and Turkey settled the controversy over tiie Mosul region by accepting the boundaries of British Influence in Mesopotamia as agreed upon by Lord Curzon and Ismet I'asha. Any further disputes concerning Mosul which may remain unsettled • nine months after the signing of the treaty will be re ferred to thu council of the League of Nations, though the Turks preferred that they should be submitted to the Hague tribunal. PRESIDENT HARDING has repeat * edly disclaimed tiiat his speeches on his trip through the West and to Alaska are designed as campaign mate rial, but it is probable that the gist of most of them will he found in the next Republican national platform. After his address on American membership in the world couft, in which lie sug gested divorcing the court from the League of Nations by making it prac tically self-perpetuating, he to|d the farmers of Kansas what the national government has done to rescue Amer ican agriculture from the depression that came with deflation In 1920. Inci dentally he shocked some wheat and operated a binder. In Kansas City he Insisted on compulsory consolidation of the railway systems as a solution of transportation problems. Sunday's address at Colorado Springs was In the nature of a sermon, urging the Golden Rule as a panacea for the Ills of the world. In Denver and Wyoming the President made two most Important pronouncements. First he declared ab solutely for enforcement of the Vol stead act, by each and every state as well as by the federal government. He denounced the action of the "new nul lificationists" who have repealed or tried to repeal the prohibition enforce ment acts of various states, referring especially to New York and Governor Smith. Of this he said: "Instead of being an assertion of state rights, It is an abandonment of them; it 19 an abdication; it amounts to a confession by the sttjte that It doesn't choose to govern Itself, but prefers to turn the task, or a consider able part of It, over to the federal authority. There could be no more complete negation j>f state rights." And this was his warning to the "nulllflcationists": "If the burden of enforcement shall continue to be in creasihgly thrown upon the federal government, It will be necessary, at large expense, to create a federal po lice authority which in tline will in evitably come to be regarded as an intrusion ui>on and Interference with the right of local authority to manage local concerns. The possibilities of disaster in such a situation hardly need to be suggested." He said fur ther that they "will discover that they have perpetrated what Is likely to prove one of the historic blunders In political management." From the ear platform at Cheyenne the President declared himself opposed to "nationalization" of the coal min ing Industry; stated tliat certain mine owners were as responsible for par alyzing the Industry last year as were the men who went on strike, said that the operators had been unable to pro duce fuel even when furnished protec tion. and announced that there "wculd never be any coa: mined In free Amer ica under force of arms." He alluded t» the already existing anxiety con cerning; next winter'* supply of coal and said that while the government would do all it could, the public must help as best It can. In Utah Mr. Harding talked of the economies In government operation during his administration, and prom ised still further reductions. He called attention to the fact that at the same time the cost of state and local gov ernments is steadily increasing. In 1022 the state and local taxes were 60 per cent of all taxes paid. ALTHOUGH, government agents are seizing the sealed liquor stores on fprelgn vessels almost as fast as they come to American ports, the high officials in Washington have not, at this writing, made up their minds to take possession of the ships them selves and, after violation of the law is proved, sell them at auction and turn the proceeds into the treasury. Such a course was considered In a series of conferences, however, and If it Is not adopted it will be because of reluctance to bring on serious Inter national disputes and to give the ship ping lines a chance to determine in the courts whether they have the right to bring Into American waters beverage liquors under seals of their government. If the government does decide to enforce the ship-seizure provision of the law, ample notice will be given. Speaking at the graduation exer cises of the army war college. Secre tary of War Weeks announced his flat opposition to any plan for using the army for prohibition work. James Cousens, the new senator from Michigan, returning from a tour of Canada, prophesied that congress In its next session will amend the Volstead act to permit the sale of beer containing not more than 5 per cent alcohol, lie was quoted as saying 5 per cent beer was not In toxicating and no sane person would maintain it was; and he characterized the prohibition law, "as federal au thorities are now attempting to en force It," as "ridiculous and Impossi ble of enforcement." EFFICACY of the Insulin treatment for diabetes, discovered by Dr. F. G. Bantling of the University of To ronto, Is further proved by the an nouncement that It has been used with great success on Robert Lansing, former secretary of state, and Miss Elizabeth Hughes, daughter of Secre tary of State Hughes. The United States public health service has care fully Investigated the treatment and now declares that insulin Is to be re garded as one of the greatest discov eries of recent years. Doctor Bantling Is to be granted an annuity of $7,500 by the Canadian government. THE labor party of Great Britain, which many believe wjjl be In con trol of the government before very long, not only has refused to have any connection with the Russian bolshev- Ists, but last week, at Its annual con ference, rejected the application of the communist party for affiliation by a vote of to 360,000. Frank Hodges declared It would be madness for thos? who believed In political democracy to allow an affiliation with those whO declare political democracy is of no avail. \ GOVERNOR WALTON, the rather obstreperous executive of Okla homa, angered by the arrest on charges of drunkennes of two men carrying commissions as state oflWjfcr*. declared the rule of the sherlfT of Okmulgee county to be "lawless," pro claimed martial law and sent six units of the National Guard to take charge of law enforcement there. In four other counties there have been whip pings and assaults, attributed to tfie Ku Klux Klan, and the governor threatens martial law In those regions unless these offenses cease. Walton says he Ig determined to suppress mob violence In Oklahoma. \yfORE regnlor employment In eoal mining regions and the stabiliz ing of production are expected to re sult from an order of the Interstate commerce commission abolishing the "assigned car" rule under which the railroads have Insured a supply of coal for their own use during fiJel sup ply stringencies and other periods of emergency.

B. Ivey an 4 related The Fact Is That When You Get to Know a Man and His Surroundings— By IRVIN COBB, in Motor. I AM constrnmed to believe from my own knowledge gained at the front and behind the lines of the soldiers of warring Europe, that had it been possible prinr to 1914 for all the peoples of the Continent to possess the same abundance of cheap-priced cars which the run of human beings in thin country can have, and had there been no artificial barriers at the national boundaries to keep neighbor from seeing neigh bor, not even Prussian militarism could have driven all the eastern part of the world into a dreadful struggle. The fact is that when you get to know a man and his surroundings —and you do know them better when you are riding in a car along a high road than you ever can from a railroad train—you find out that the general run of human beings in one land is very much like the general run of human beings in almost any other. Along with the prayer for everlasting peace which is going up from nearly every fireside where real Americans sit, is the prayer for a return to normal conditions in this country, for a curing of the evils which the last war loosed upon us industrially, socially, economically and financially. That is a good prayer and we should pray also for a thing that is spiritual, perhaps, but which has its material side as well, because out of it will grow material good. We should pray—every one of us—for a greater charity toward our fellow man, for a kindlier impulse for his shortcom ings, and for a broader, wider understanding of him and his likes and dislikes. Investment in Airplanes Abundantly Justified as Business Proposition By BERTRAND RUSSELL, in the Freeman. I think that the British and the Americans are apt to underestimate the influence of armies and navies. Take for instance the position at present of France, Germany and England in relation to one another. France, by military force alone, lias seized the Ruhr coal field; the Germans cannot resist because they are disarmed. Great Britain dislikes this policy, and also dislikes the repudiation by the French of their debt to the British. If the British possessed the necessary armaments, they would collect their debt from France by the same methods which the French are using against the Germans, or by a threat of these methods (if that proved sufficient). The British do not do so because they are afraid of French airplanes. Thus the French, by means of armament alone, have been enabled (a) to avoid paying their share of the cost of the great war; (b) to seize the bulk of Germany's industrial resources. It would seem, therefore, that the investing of money in airplanes was abundantly justified as a business proposition. "The Worst, but Only One of Many Discrimina tions Against Middle West" By H. C. KESSINGER, Illinois State Senator. Abolish Pittsburgh plus. Stop federal aid funds. Build St. Law rence waterway. Elect midwestern man speaker of house, midwestern rep resentation on federal reserve.board (credits), and on interstate commerce commission (rates). Save the iflterurban lines. Ilegujate the railroads without destroying them. "Pittsburgh plus" means Chicago minus. You can buy 6teel made in South Chicago, haul it in your own truck to your factory or farm, and on this steel made in Illinois you have to pay the freight from Pittsburgh. It is the werst but only one of the many discriminations against the Middle West. We need a Middle West consciousness and solidarity, an aroused and organized public opinion to advance a Mid-West program for justice to our people in tire matter of the making of tariffs, the levying of taxes, the spending of public funds, and the regulating of freight rates. All federal aid funds are expensive for the Middle West. We get back only a small part of the money we contribute. Pittsburgh plus cost our part of the country more than $30,000,000 last year for fictitious freight rates on steel manufactured in the Chicago district More Than Ever Today Youth Detests Selfishness, Injustice and War By DR. W. E. GARDNER, Secretary, etc., Episcopal Church. Youth is searching for the power that Christianity has always had, the power that can be applied every day. More than ever today youth detests selfishness, injustice and war of every kind. The young do not think so much abont the wrong and evil in,these things as we do; they think they are foolish and unnecessary curses. The youth of the world today are hunting for truth more than they were twenty years ago, and they are interested in nonmaterial objectives of life because world events compel them to that kind of an interest. Most of tl»e inhabited parts of the world are explored. The adventures of life arc* no longer in discovering countries. The adventures of the future, youth knows, are in the realm of ideal Every boy and every girl with ambition knows that success depend" more on morals and mind than on muscle. Everywhere boys and girls are looking for spiritual power. They may "call it by different names, but they seek spiritual power. They will find the power they need in religion where mankind has found it throughout the ages. The Coward May Be Merely a Person With Small "Glands of Combat" Dy DR. ADOLPH LORENZ, Famous Surfjeon. We are hearing much nowadays about adrenalin. The quality that makes eome men ready for a fight or a frolic is due to the "glands of combat," the adrenals. Once thought to be merely little lumps of fat, they were later found to take s very important part in the play of life forces. The active prin ciple, or hormone, of this gland is adrenalin. It is'thrown into your blood in a steady stream when the sensation of fear comes. Nature thus makes an effort to Hood your body with the chemical basis of courage The coward, then, may be merely a person deficient in a reserre stock of this valuable of which valor is made. We know certaih men who are always ready to fling themselves into s slugging match, evm before the chio is knocked off their shoulders. TO RELIEVE PAIN HHP BACKACHE Women May Depend upon Lydia E.
