Paul M. Warburg, in New York Times. At the British trades union congress held at Portsmouth during the* summer we find the joint committee on the cost of living submitting a report on money and prices, in which occur the following passages: “As regards the international aspect of the problem of high prices we think that: (a) the re-cstablishment of peace throughout the world is a prime essential; (b) war indemnities should be defined and reasonable in amount.” It is interesting and most encouraging to find progressive capital in en tente and neutral countries in practically complete accord with conservative organized labor on these points. British financiers were most outspoken in this respect. They are keenly alive to the fact that every day the solution of this problem is postponed means that Germany is sliding nearer the precipice. It is realized that to day she is dangerously close to the brink, and that her plunge would with out doubt involve others. Individually and collectively the Germans are at the end of their tether. JFhey are undernourished and tuberculosis is spreading at an alarming pace. {Taxation in 100 different forms takes an amazing proportion of their capital Cmd income, while the balance of their revenues command only a fraction of Sfceir one time purchasing power. With all thaj, though the item of revenue 2rom taxes in the latest budget provides for an estimated increase from 1.500.000. 000 marks before the war to approximately 30,000,000,000 marks per annum, a government deficit of some 60,000,000,000 marks still stares them in the face, which is being met by constantly printing more notes and treasury bills. Their ships, their colonies, the bulk of their foreign invest ments and about one-third of their ore mines are gone; a scarcity of coal bas laid many industries idle and keeps the people freezing in houses which the rich have to share with the poor; their country is disorganized through foreign occupation and internal troubles, their military protection against 3iots and insurrections is totally insufficient and unreliable. How, on top (Hi that, are they to pay fabulous indemnities and avoid bankruptcy and social disorder? / The danger of such a situation is that if driven to desperation even tho •mnest population might in the end surrender to the argument of the reac tionary to the effect that if all hope for a brighter future is to be abandoned, it might be better to open the doors of bolshevism, in spite ol; all its horrors, which then would engulf all Europe and*give Germany a chance to start 'gain on an equal level with her unforgiving victorious enemies. Europe is at the crossroads of her destiny, and the decision whether will sink or rise lies largely in the hands of France. There are those *n France wrho take the moderate and wise view that, if Europe and her present form of social .order and civilization are to survive, countries must cease to carry on a war after peace, that they must stand together in re moving the wreckage and in trying to salvage what still can be saved. V'Uch men are at one with England and Italy in wishing the indemnity ques tion settled promptly and on a reasonable basis. As against this school of thought, there are the “bitter enders,” who partly from hatred engendered by the war and partly from fear—both easily understood—say that Ger many muSt be so loaded down with debts and deprived of her coal to such ^ degree that she can never recuperate. This would imply the reduc tion of 60.000. 000 people to 40,000,000. I do not believe that the world wants to shoulder the responsibility of seeing the fate of Austria duplicated. My own feeling is that the moderate elements in France ultimately are bound to prevail; her financial and economic difficulties and her genuine anxieties ?re, however, so real and so grave that it is most difficult for her to reach hat conclusion. No fair minded person would deny that France is entitled to the most complete military protection against the risk oi a military attack by Ger many and that she is entitled to special consideration for her industries crippled by the destruction of war and as large an indemnity as the German nation can possibly pay, but it is obvious that b ran- e stands in danger to lose these benefits to which she is fairly entitled unless Germany is given a chance to wTork and become reasonably prosperous. Too Many Prophets. From the New York Post. There is an excess of minor prophets 'll literature, journalism and politics. When our hopes are buoyed up by the jro&ve promises of politicians, our emo tions stirred by the forecasts of popu lar Cassandras, and our ardor kindled by the spells of social soothsayers—only to meet the inevitable disappointment— Surely we are entitled to compensation. There is an excess of propheteering, and the community, as usual, pays. Froph etmaking and profitmaking are the un welcome by-products of the great war. K one is taxable, why not the other? .Assessments should be graded and im partial. and should fall alike on the har bingers of M’.ucian millenniums and' those who positively announce the de cisive victory of the Kolchaks, Yuden Itches and Wrangels of the moment. We are exploited by the propheteers, why should we not tax them out of ex istence? Here is an opportunity for the #elpful co-operation of our social theor \its, who discourse so affectingly of un earned increment and economic rent. The reputation of the minor prophet does not depend upon the intrinsic value •f his utterances; its value is conferred entirely by the credulity of the com munity—a clear case of economic rent. Let our economists devise a scheme for appropriating this surplus value by means of a tax on illusory prophets. As the world is now situated, what we need most is the production of ideas, not for prophet, but for use. Silly But Dangerous. "War between the United States and Japan Is almost certain within a few years unless the United States deals firmly with the situation as it exists (in the orient) and builds and maintains a navy in the Pacific surpassed by none.” Thus Congressman Dyer, of St. Louis, one of the tourists on the recent con gressional junket to the far east, talks Mr. Dyer follows with a long list of the dangers he conceives exist. Japan can take the Philippines any time, lie says. True enough, and it has been true for 22 years. Japan would never come over here to fight, but her vessels would dart out and sink ours as fast as they got over. (Peculiar reasoning for a man who wants us to build more vessels!) And so on through the typical stock in trade of the Japanese war alarmist. All this shows not merely the uselessness, but the danger of sending men, wholly unfamiliar with international matters and the east ern nations on such an excursion as these congressmen indulged themselves in as guests of the American taxpayer. Con gressman Dyer thinks these are new things that one discovers from a first hand investigation. But he does not contribute to them an item that a reas onably intelligent person could not have learned at home from the study of an atThis man comes back posing as an expert He lias been there. He peddles a line of alarmist "dope" that was "old stuff’ in America years before the war to Europe began. He is ready to rouse hostility and ill-feeiing-the begetter of all wars And ho becomes, even though Ignorantly a real source of the dangers h*1 predicts. If we needed real informa ton about conditions in the far east, we should never think of sending such as Dver after it. But in our easy going wav we permit him and a lot of other congressmen to vote themselves a hoi - dav trip in the orlent-which is a small matter-and then to come back as ex perts. specially fit to pass on great na tional policies. 4 ♦ 4 THE RIGHT SPIRIT. 4 4 Independence is a success qual- 4 4- Ity.

T £44+4+♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦* Italian Socialism. From the Christian jgplence Monitor. The noticeable feature of Italian so* cfalism at the present time is its ten dency toward division. * On the one hand there are the moderates, under th© leadership of such men as Mr. Turatl and Mr. Trc-’es, who, during the recent labor troubles in Lombardy, urged set tlement by conciliation and negotiation, and on the other, the bolshevist group, which condemns the recent settlement of the metal workers’ strike, and is prac tically in favor of looking to Moscow for its instructions. Tremenduous ef forts are being made by Mr. Serrati, un til recently editor of the "Avanti,” and others to stem the tide, but so far, ap parently, with little success. For th© moment the bolshevist wing Is in the ascendant. By a narrow majority of seven .to live, in the directorate of 12 which manages the affairs of Italian socialism, the extremists have secured the acceptance of Nicholas Lenin’s re cent demand for the expulsion of th© moderates, and, unless something is meanwhile done to bridge the widening gulf, the definite cleavage will be ef fective within a very short time. Th© great hope of the party is that the pre*-, ent wave of extremism is, in all prob ability, only a passing phase, largely due, in Italy as elsewhere, to the utter unsettlement in trade and industry which obtains everywhere. The Italian so cialist is not naturally an extremist Until the last election, all the socialists in the Italian chamber belonged to the middle* class, and were, many of them, men of considerable wealth. Bridegrooms' Souvenirs, , From the New York Herald. It has long been the fashion for brides to wear gowns or lace or other articles of feminine apparel worn on matri monial occasions by their mothers ot grandmothers. But it is unusual to hear of a bridegroom wearing any of the wed ding trappings of a forbear. Such an hlr cident occurred recently in Illinois wheil a man was married wearing the white kid gloves that his grandfather hai worn at his wedding 82 years before. If bridegrooms adopt this custom, granting they have grandfathers of a saving turn of mind as well as a senti mental, future weddings will afford va riety in description hitherto unlinowa, But to utilize grandfather’s wedding garments may bring embarrassments. An old fashioned dress coat may serve very well, but a linen shirt with tall collar attached, such as one’s grandsiro wore with a bl..ck silk stock, woifld scarcely be in the mode. An Andrew Jackson high hat would lend an air of distinction to almost any bridegroom, but a stovepipe of the Hayes period would be impossible. Grandfather’s tall boots would be an embarrassment on a wedding Journey owing to the short sightedness of modem hotel keepers In \ not providing bootjacks. But there is one thing of grandfath er's that any and every present day bridegroom might welcome. That is his well tilled black puoketbook with a strap around it. Any bridegroom with such a tieasure left by grandfather could look forward to his wedding journey with a stout and grateful heart. Of cooraa^tn have such a practical souvenir handed down for weddings every bridegroom must have the right kind of grandfather. Still Over There. t Yes, there is rest; yes. there Is rest ?
