Today Self-Confidence Helps. Give the British Credit. Our National Pride. Old Nature Beats Theory. ^ By ARTHUR BRISBANE j - Ther* is nothing like believing that you can win. When Caesar told the frightened boatman that his. boat couldn’t sink with him, Caesar, in it; when Napoleon really believed 1hat his ‘'star’’ would take care of him, those famous gentle men had the best possible start in any fight self-confidence. McAdoo, hurrying east from Chi cago, sticks his head out of the window and says, “We can beat 'em anyway.’’ He looked ac confident «« Caesar and Napolpon combined when he said it, according to the reporters. Of course, nothing is quite sure. Unknown Caesars have sunk with the boatman after telling him the boat couldn’t sink, and many an unknown Napoleon's “star” has turned out to be only a firefly. However, McAdoo is the leading candidate now. There is no doubt about that. He really expects to win, and that's 40 per cent of win ning. You've heard of England’s pa triotic exhibition at Wembley, planned to boom the English em pire and arouse British patriotism. ; The be*t imperial exhibit shows . a map of the world of gigantic 1 size, with the oceans, seas ami big ger lakes made of real water. Britishers walking around the map see all parts of the earth's sur face owned by them lighted up by ■ red lights from below. They see - thousands of British ships moving ; along through the water on the ".great world's trade routes. Signs * tell them that the British flag flies over one-quarter of all the land on earth. When the visitor from Canada. Australia, South Africa, secs that he t.ays to himself, “Partnership in the British empire is a pretty good thing.” And other nations, including ours, are hound to give the Brit ishers credit for governing ability. You saw the other day a statement by the British labor prime minister, -MacDonald, that the whole army of the British empire is smaller than the army of Holland or Spain. That means good management. The great Everett Cotton mills of Lawrence, Mass., have closed. “No demand for colored cotton goods." And England is shipping millions of yards of colored cotton cloth into this country. The stores discover that goods sell more easily when labeled “Made in England.” It wouldn't be a had idea to have at Washington, and in every big city, a patriotic map showing what the United States amounts to. We don’t own one-quarter of the earth’s surface. But we have got a couple of oceans, some big lakes, the Mississippi, Niagara Falls, the Bockies, more than half of all the cold in the world, and 120.000,000 pretty intelligent human beings. It ought to he possible in some, way to interest Americans to buy goods made in their own country. In England, if you buy goods not “British made” you are looked upop with contempt. Here, if you insist on buying goods not Ameri can made, you are considered fash ionable. Socialist prime minister, or labor prime minister, you find little change in policy where national feelings are concerned. I'oincare is kicked out. not because be occu pied the Ruhr, but because the franc started on its way to a 1-cent price. Harriot, radical socialist, is prime minister, and lie says he will stick in the Ruhr. England' chooses MacDonald as labor prime minister. During the war MacDonald was a pacifist If he had talked in the United States as he talked in England during the war, he would be in jail now. Rut in spite of hi* pacifism, whrjn thp Mexicans ordered the English representative out of Mexico, and barricaded him in his house, shut ting ofT food supplies, thpy got a message from MacDonald not at all pacific in tone. A labor pacifist will fight, if thp nation wants fighting. And a so cialist prime minister, with his heart . wide open to the oppressed German . workingman, will close his heart with a hang if any Geiman gold is • in sight. Old nature is stronger than new theory. Thp east and other sections of the country have been “enjoying" all sorts of weather except the right kind. Rain without end, sun . shine only a few hours a week j then a scientific announcement that ; - the sun appear* to he splitting in two, perhaps getting ready to form a double sun, one-half revolving around the other. Reassure yourself on that point. The sun *eeni» to lack ils usual energy, due, perhaps, to violent storms on the sun* surface, or trouble with solar radio activity. Rut it isn't breaking ftp.
