NATIONAL DIGNITY
Why must national dignity be
bathed in blood to vindicate itself?
For nearly two and a half years
Paraguay and Bolivia have been at
war over a question of dignity and
teriitorial right3. Each claimed over
lapping -rca3 in a wild, unexplored
hinterland of little apparent present
value to either. National dignity and
national honor demanded that each
defend it3 somewhat profitless claim
with the blocd of it3 young manhood
and the treasure of it3 citizenship.
Now the war is over. Paraguay,
at a moment of apparent military vic
tory, propones a Christmas truce.
Bolivia accept?. The dispute will
probably be transferred from the
bloody theater of war to the bloodless
arbitrament of the wcrid court. The
Prince of Peace r.t long last triumphs
ever the spurious demand of dignity.
II is all summed up in the state
rr.tr.i r.f the president of Bolivia:
"My country went to war to
defend what it believed to be its
riht?. Paraguay was similarly
actuated. Thin attitude con
formed with the conception of
national dignities, but Bolivia is
r.-ady, with the same dignity, to
i-cek a solution of the conflict in
judicial fields."

13 THE STORM OVER
Whatever else may be said of Sen
ator Thomas of Oklahoma, this fact
is certain: lie keeps his ear to the
ground and he is an adept at inter
preting the political signals which
travel that way.
Yesterday Senator Thomas an
nounced his satisfaction with the
Roosevelt monetary Drocram. He is
in favor of it, and all he wants is
that it be speeded up. He says that
he will not seek any inflationary leg
islation in the coming congressional
session, and especially disassociated
himself from the printing-press boys.
It is obvious, then, that Senator
Thomas looks upon the Roosevelt
program as a popular success.
Last week the National Associa
tion of Manufacturers expressed its
approval of the program in almost
the same terms, and likewise urged its
speeding up.
When the inflationary Thomas and
the highly conservative Association
of Manufacturers so nearly coincide
in their judgments, it becomes clear
that the thunders on the right and
left which were so ominous a week or
two ago may yet fail to produce a
real storm. Baltimore Evening Sun.

B0ID MAN WEO FEAS3
SOCIAL EXPERIMENT
I know a man a nianuTacturcr
who spends most of his waking hours
in experiment. He is constantly mak
ing changes that will improve the
quality of hi3 product or decrease its
cost of production. Hi3 favorite motto
is: "He who stands still goes back."
Yet when it comes to social experi
ment he resolutely refuses even to
consider it. He never tirs of talking
eabout cur clumsy methods of distri
bution, our chaotic handling of the
human factor ih'industry, bur inelas
tic financial system, but he becomes a
fatalist when any suggestion of
change is made.
He has himself invented machin
ery, and in so doing has been dis
appointed again and again by the
failure of a theory to work in prac
tice. He has cheerfully discarded one
solution after another, never losing
faith in the idea that, if one device
failed, another might click.
Recently, he was baffled by an
automatic feeder, which worked per
fectly at low speeds, but jammed at
high speed3. No mechanical expert
could trll why. It was not until slow
motion pictures revealed the vibra
tion of an obscure cam that the ma
chine succeeded.
With Justifiable pride, he tells of
the nights of toil and the thousands
of dollars that went into that ma
chine. But let the talk turn to social
and economic experiment, and his
lips ret in a stubborn line. He is
scornful of theorists and professors.
He who spends mon of his time tink
ering with machinery insists that
we mustn't tinker with time-tried
principles of government.
I met him the other day in a den
tist's office, where we were shown a
kit of instruments presented to a
prominent dentist of world's fair
days. Among them was a gold-plated,
pear-handled drill, resembling an egg
beater. "How primitive!" exclaimed
the manufacturer, smiling.
Thii man understands the method
by which we have made progress in
the conquest of disease. Oddly, he
cannot sec that the same method
might work in the conquest of pov
erty. There i3 a partition in his
mind between the idea of scientific
progres3 and economic progress, be
tween mechanical experiment and eo
cial experiment. He is a cheerful
heretic in manufacturing, but his
voico tremble3 when he epeaks of the
constitution and tho ideals cf our
forefathers.
Cometime3 I suspect that he is not
very familiar with either of them.

MRS. ROOSEVELT ASKS
LESS WARLIKE TOYS
Very often we sow the seeds in
youth for an interest which will later
engross the man or woman. Even toys
may have a bearing on thii trend of
thought.
I believe that we not only can en
courage ingenuity and build up im
agination in children by the types
of toys and game3 and books that we
provide thsni with, but I believe that
we can also give them tastes and in
terests which will be helpful to them
later on. I should like to see tho na
tions of the world gradually do away
with weapons of war. I know this
must be done simultaneously and
therefore I should like to begin with
the children cf today and teach them
to do without toys which tend to
make them think of war as a game.
I do not believe that every little
boy who plays with soldiers and
stages his battles and shoots the op
position army down with peas is go
ing to be an ardent militarist. But
I do believe that the glamour of the
gorgeously dressed toy soldiers and
the variegated toy armies with dif
ferent uniforms and cavalry and ar
tillery and bands will somehow cre
ate in the boy's mind an excitement
which will carry over into manhood
and may lead him, when he hears
the military band play and sees uni
forms and hears the rhythmic tramp
of marching feet through the streets,
to desire to join them.
New attitudes cf mind come grad
ually and why should we not sug
gest to toy-makers tho world over
taht they have a responsibility to
future civilization; and that they
might just as well make armies of
young foresters and farmers, and
model mines, and mills with model
workmen, and model houses and
model machinery?
Such miniatures of real llle would
surely find equal favor in children's
eye3 and at a time when we think
primarily of children, perhaps be
cause of the story of the Child who
was born so many years ago in Beth
lehem, we should thir.k how we can
best train our children to follow in
the Christ Child's footstep3.
So, as we gather in our churches
and around our trees to celebrate this
most delightful time of the ysar, let
us not forget that everything which
we do for children now may make an
impression and count as an influence
years later in their lives; and let us
try to give them a chance to develop
the qualities which will make it easy
for them to live without greed and
therefore without war, and to appre
ciate the Joy cf giving. Mrs. Frank
lin D. Roosevelt in Woman's Home
Companion.

SPENDING FOR WAR
AND TOR RECOVERY
A cynical and irreconcilable news
paper critic of the administration re
covery program mournfully declares
that "the new deal is now costing the
nation's taxpayers 12 millions a
day," end wonders why nobody is
appalled or startled at it.
Inasmuch a3 some economists con
tend that the wo: Id war was of far
less moment to the American people
than the economic chaos and wide
spread poverty which have grown out
of it, it i3 perhaps not so very sur
prising that they should not be "ap
palled or startled" at the cost of the
new deal when they contrast it with
the torrific expenditures of their gov
ernment in that most unholy and un
necessary war that "wrecked the eco
nomic system of two continents."
It is to repair a part of that tre
mendous wreckage that the new deal
ha3 been inaugurated, and never was
government money devoted to a more
imperative and beneficent publis end.
The rost i3 almost trifling compared
to the billion3 which were poured in
to the bottomlc33 pit of war. In two
yearn the Wilson government expend
ed $31,220,731,405 and, according to
General Hugh Johnson, who wa3 a
member of one of the chief war
board.-:, if the war had continued
through 1910 our expenditure for
that year would have increased the
total by SO billion dollars, as we were
putting up most cf the money to keep
the infernal conflict going.
Let it be remembered that those
mountainoin war expenditures were
made for criminally destructive pur
poses with not one iota of benelt ac
cruing to anyone except the shame
less profiteers, while cvsry dollar be
tiiB spin i unucr tne uoosevelt re
covery program is devoted to repair
ng the awul havoc and misery
wrought by the war, and to give a
near-impoverished people a chance to
regain their traditional social and
economic independence.

FOREIGN TRADE IS
. , VITALLY IMPORTANT
The annual report of the secre
tary of agriculture is anything but a
routine document. It covers a period
during which the government's poli
cies of farm relief have radically
changed. Under the AAA, efforts are
being made to restrict the production
of wheat, cotton, corn, tobacco and
other Important crop3. Under the
same law bonuses are being paid to
farmers who accept the government's
terms, taxe3 arc being imposed tc
raise funds for such payments, mar
keting agreements are being written
which directly affect lite interests of
a large proportion of the farm popu
lation of the country. The whole pro
gram is new, complex and frankly
experimental.
Mr. Wallace'3 report consists in
large part of a well-organized sum
mary of the various measures initiat
ed by the administration. He views
optimistically their working thus far
and their possibilities for the future.
But he is under no illusion that they
constitute in themselves a perman
ent solution cf the farm problem. De
spite all that the administration has
done and Is doing to alter the domes
tic situation, "it is obvious that for
eign trade will continue to be vitally
important to American agriculture."
This is because a large part of some
of our most important farm commod
ities more than half our cotton,
nearly half our tobacco, from a third
to half our packing house lard is
normally sold abroad. We have at
least 40 million too many acres in
production if we are to aim solely at
the domestic market. Permanent ad
jutsmcnt to that basis would demand
"superhuman efforts."
Mr. Wallace frankly faces the al
ternative. "The best course," he says,
"would be to work toward an expan
sion cf foreign purchasing power in
definite, tangible ways through tar
iff adjustments and eventually thru
renewed foerign lending accompanied
by a willingness to receive certain
goods in exchange for the money
loaned."
Thl3 would not be inconsistent with
an attempt to curtail domestic pro
duction, since, in any case, this "ex
ceeds even the most optimistic esti
mates of the probable demand." The
two polities would supplement one
another, rather than conflict. But
the point on which the secretary in
sists is that the second part of the
program, tho sefftpping of tariffs now
so high as to be almost prohibitive,
ia essential if genuine prosperity Is
to be restored to agriculture. The
American farmer needs to sell abroad,
and "v.e cannot go cn selling abroad
without buying abroad." New York
Times.
:o:
NATIONAL SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS
After a long me devoted to the
study of ways and means to help her
fellow man. Miss Jane Addams, 7S-ycar-old
sociologist, surveys the Am
erican scene and decides that money.
if indeed not most, of our ills are
the direct or indirect result of "na
tional self-righteousness." The pro
hibition law was spawned by self
righteousness. The same attitude has
been responsible for towering tariff
walls, neglect of the welfare of inv
migrants and short-sighted policies
on war debts and disarmament.
The self-rightecus attitude Miss
Addams places at the door of the
religious sects which settled the At
lantic coast "and were naturally con
vinced they bore witness ot the high
est truth and were, therefore, the
chosen people." The fruit and flower
of this attitude is responsible, she be
lieves, for overcrowded tenements,
sweating systems, a high infant
death rate "and many another fa
miliar aspect of hastily organized and
unregulated industry" which in time
became associated in the public mind
with immigrants." When they adopt
ed prohibition, -Americans "made ex
ceptions of themselves." The "simon-
pure" did not feel that what was
good for the immigrants was neces
sarily good for him.
'lie exempted!
niniocir from laws which he would
like to see enforced upon others."
There i-j abundant material for re
flection ia thia indictment. Self
righteousness, whether national or
Individual. i3 a dangerous thing. It
blinds its possessor to tho realities
i ernap3 we have not been more
self-rightcou3 than other nations
which i3 no excuse whatever but
there can be little doubt that we
havo been stepping rather high, wldo
and handsome in thi3 country (or
had been) for some time. If tho de

more than to rid us, if only tempor
arily, of any better-than-thou atti

afflicted, it will have been worth
