ty ? average American man today has
a good deal to think a'lout if h<*
has any interest at :ill in what 1
he's eoming t?.
I ^ A composite picture of the rrca
#of tb&se. social scientists on- I
e for the he-man of th?* fu- II
makes him out a queer be-|
to say the least. Not only 11
he turn out to be flatfootcd |
and baldlieaded. hut, in a good
many more cases than ho liken to
think, he'll bo somewhat spin??- |
less, laughli'ss, featureless- ?Just
what ruling woman would have |
' him.
The average man. judged by the
outpourings of the sociologist?
will, .generations hence, come
from the city, he one of u small
number of offspring, and h:iv a
highly developed competitive in
tellect, while he may or may not
have been brought up in .i
strong family society, witli the
cb'ffices that he will not. Fur
thermore, the American man, . Is
going to be a different crcuture
than the man of any other land,
although he'll more resomhl'1
the English than any other.. He'll
be taller, have sharper facial fea
tures, and display more energy
than the men of most -other
places. But withal, he'll be a
sociable animal, quickly adapta
ble to his surroundings, but not
one of any strong outstanding
traits.
Ernest R. Groves, professor or
* sociology at the University of
k Iloston brought out the chjirac
f tcristic of the future average
man, of most Interest to the pres
?jt lent?the subservience to wom:m.
pr "The family, once a masculine
'' affair, is coming to be a feminln*
pne, with the only question now."
HflMe professor advises, "whether
'MOvoman will hamper man as sht
?has been hampered lu the past.
Marriage is coming to be more an
4#perlment and not t/he settled
matter of an established man
mled home."
While the sociologists are
doubtful about the future of fam
ily life itself, some expressed the
opinion that it would become less
'' of A factor, but moBt all said that
If tho family life did continue it
would be a? a smaller unit than
than In the past. Dr. Louis L.
DtiTflin. statistician of the Metro
politan Life Insurance Company,
expressed for the other sociolo
gUts, the statement that birth
eentrol is now and will continue
, increasingly lo be practiced.
Purveys of Wisconsin. California
and Vassar College graduate?
showed that the best educated
oven now are not reproducing.
Also, larger and larger sections
of the population are becoming
citified. Professor John M.
Gillette, of the University of
North Dakota, outlined how the
man of the future lfl to be the
city man. while Professor I). D.
Loscohier of the University of
Wlsconnin painted him as a future
standardized being, living much
tho same kind of life that the
other men of the world lead,
with much the same living stan
dard.
And the saturation point of
coming Americans Is going to be
far short of 300,000.000 for this
fount ry. Professor Lescohier
tfMhtnks and he's hacked up by

but wants leniency.

concrete proposal that will mean

who sltieeriy 1m !ti?vo Franco can

mission go forth simply to make
j a gent ure.
What causca a j tauch dlaap
point mi nt here Is that Franco haa
ii' i shown tho slightest sign of
modifying her attitude and
though tin* newspapers of the last
I "ii days have been tilled with
statements mid comments from
Paris and Washington the tru.th

In 1 !> 2 2 when Louis I.oucheur,
j fortit? r minister of llnnnce, star

inetit that France not only could
not pu\ her debt then but never
could, ills remarks were denied
official by the French govern*
nient tnit they were looked upon
neverth? less us reflect In;? the
opinion of most of the French
slat? men. ft Is interesting to
n-puhlish a paragraph from that
Ijouchenr Interview which waa
obtained by Frank It. Kent of the
ttaltlmore Sun:
"'The chief thing of which I am
.?fraid. said M. I.oucheur, "Is
'that there may be misunderstand
ing of the elemental facta In Eur
"pe t?y America. You ask us to
pay our war debla. We cannot
pay. We cannot pay now, and
?v?1 can not pay ever. No clear*
h? adi d nian with a real knowl'
edit ? of financial facts has the re
motest Idea that we can ever pay.
t*Iio only pr-.Bslble wny In which
we ever eouhl pay Is in our goods,
and you will not take our xoods.
We cannot pay In our currency.
You won't take that. You de
mand >.'old. and you have all the
nob I of tiic world In your own
v i m Its. And now you prepare to
? net a tariff wall around your
county that will still more com
plete ly bar our (toods. How ut
1' rly Illogical ami Inconsistent Is
the American attitude."
There Is a hint In the forego
in? of what may bo expected
when the debt controversy note
down to brass tacks France inay
officially say ?h?- will pay. hut
hov.-? Kurope has fell all along
that the only way to pay would
be in gnodn and that ih< tariff
wait on this ?|de of the Atlantic

The problem haa not ronchod

Slates and under the present ad

For lhrt moment, the matter
r'v.t* on tho question: will Franco
not oply say she will pay but
m ike n definite* moire that will
show her Intention? When she
Kb- Ws n willingness to pay. will
the American Funding Oomtnli

Th% fact that France hss seen fit

bassador lha? she does not mean
rer-odl'tlon Is tho beginning of
what off let* Is hero hope will be a
?. rb r of moves that will make

today France has not yet given
any iMdlcaUon that she intend*
