AUTOS AND DIPLOMATS
Durant puts out a new cheap car,
known as the Starr, to buck Henry
Ford. This will cause more talk
among Americans than 10,000 Gen
oa conferences. That's something to
be thankful for.
The really important problems of
the world are problems of produc
tion and distribution of commodi
ties. A cheaper auto, t gasoline sub-
stitute, a hardier wheat that moves talizing graphite under great pres

are of more consequencethan the in
trigues of diplomats. And Americans
know it.
Americans find international pol
itics stupid and boresome. We give
the statesmen and their wrangles a.:
quick but penetrating analysis, then!
form an opinion based ou intuition,
dismiss the matter and turn to the
greater problem of production. .
It is this concentration on pro
duction that has made the American
standard of living the highest in t,he
world.
While other nations have been
breeding diplomats ad trouble
Americans have given the world the!

RESPONSIBLE LEADERS
Who are the riation's leaders? In
recent years we have come to regard
those wlio are financially success
ful or who occunv nositions of ereat
material influence as the leaders. It
is just possible, however, that the
real leaders are to be found in a
less conspicuous class. At least, that
U the inference to be derived fromilSeal m23-4w
a paragraph of an editorial recently j
recently appearing in an eastern
newspaper. The writer cries out that
there is a dire need for sane econ
omic education to counteract the
false doctrines and theories of the
demagogues of the time. He says:
"There is throughout the country
a wave of loose thinking on import
ant projects that' is finding expres
sion in congress, with no prospect
of improvement. Let those who hold
responsible positions anywhere,
whether as editors, college profes
sors, preachers or wherever they
may "be placed so as to influence pub
lic thought, realize the responsibil
ity which is theirs, of holding to
sound doctrine."
Here is an unconscious compli
ment paid to a group of men and
women who have been scoffed at
greatly in recent years. Occasionally
some one recognizes their true val
ue, but whether honored or reviled,
they continue j quietly about their
business and wield mighty influence
for good.
:o:
THE BEST LESSON ON WAR
The socialism and anarchism of
pre-war days, which the middle
class labored so earnestly to suppress
were indeed a menace to property..
How crave a menace they were is
shown clearly bv their exploits in
Russia. But the militarism which the
middle class accepted complacently
was a far greater menao to prop
erty and life. Where Bolshevism de
stroyed its billions, militarism de
stroyed its tens of billions. Where
bolshevism killed ithousands, militar
ism hundreds of thousands. Bolshe
vism is still a menace, no doubt, but
the middle class is mobilized to com
bat it. Militarism, is by no mean3
dead. If the middle class is as com
placent about it through the next
generation as it was through the last
we may look forward in twenty-live
or thirty years, to another world
war, coming to complete the destruc
tion of the last.
But will the middle class be so
blind? There is a ' missionary of
peace that will preach to every mem
ber of the class, every year, thru a
generation. That is the income tax.
And the propaganda of the income
tax will not be confined to America;
where it is perhaps least needed, but
will be conducted with even greater
vigor in England, France, Germany,
Italy. The war makers will find it
hard to arouse enthusiasm for an
other adventure in world domina
tion. -:o:

YOUR DIAMONDS
German scientists recently caused
a sensation in the international jew
el market. They claimed they bad
- , solved the problem of manufacturing
diamonds cheaply. -
Now the word is passed through
the diamond trade that it costs more
to produce the real ones from the
clay blowpipes of extinct volcanoes.
Sir William Crookes succeeded in
making artificial diamonds by crys-
small worthless as gems.
So the value of your diamonds is
safe for the present. Some day chem
ists will produce diamonds and gold
artificially, cheaply. That will be an
interesting period to live through
more interesting for the spectator
than the participant.
Appropos of your diamonds, have
you planned to mention them to the
assessor this year?
