RUSSIAN DEBTS
The Moscow government was im
mensely pleased when the new Brit
ish government announced its readi
ness to rec6gnize Russia. Now, Mob
cow is no longer pleased. For Pre
mier MacDonald has emphasized one
little point the Soviet leaders over
looked that recognition will be con
ditioned on the Soviet recognizing
the country's foreign debts. This in
cludes the debts incurred before the
Soviet came into power.
It is the same old question, and
the same old obstacle to receiving
Soviet Russia into the sisterhood of
states. A Russian national debt,
argues Great Britain, is a Russian
national debt, no matter what par
ticular Russian government incur
red the debt and spent the money.
If this principle were not insisted
on, any country might repudiate its
debts eirery time a new party came
into power.
France, which is Russia's chief
creditor, has taken this position all
along, wherefore the Soviet has hated
France particularly. The United
States has insisted on it, too, as a
mutter of common international
honesty, and sticking for the prin
ciple rather than for self-interest,
because Russia does not owe this
country much.

MONEY BAINB0WS
Here's something that looks like
a sure sign that the slowing down
of business is only going to be tem
porary. Now, the iron and steel industry
has been hit harder than any other
basic line of work. Mills and fur
naces have been operating in fact,
on half-time.
On the other hand, shipments of
iron ore down the Great Lakes, bound
for the steel mills eventually, con
tinued on a big scale during May.
The total for the month was nearly
6,600,000 tons. And that was al
most as much as in May of last year.
From the opening of Great Lakes
navigation this spring, up to the
first of June, iron ore shipments
were over half a million tons ahead
of the corresponding period of 1923.
All this plainly means that, the
iron and steel leaders expect the
slackening of business to last only
for a shart tibe. Ore is not mined
and shipped on a scale like this un
less buyers are reasonably sure of
orders that will enable them to get
their money out of the ore they
have bought, without waiting any
length of time.
Producers don't buy raw mater
ials in large lots if they think a long
stretch of dull business is ahead.
Steel leaders with few exceptions
say they see no reason for current
dull times, and they expect early re
covery.
Another rainbow in the iron and
steel industry is this:
Mill and furnace production drop
ped from capacity of full-time op
erations to half-time in sixty davs.
By all past experience, such a swift
drop means that the reaction will be
an equally fast recovery to full-time
work. The time to worry is when
business gradually slumps for months
after months, slowly going to pieces.
Such a condition is apt to last a long
time.
It's a great deal like the weather.
A cyclone comes quickly but is over
and gone soon.' The storm that brews
for a long time is the storm that lingers.
There is perhaps nothing new in
the disagreement among specialists
I attending the American Medical as
sociation as to the matter ot prac
ticing euthanasia in the .cases of In
curable patients, especially those af
flicted with cancer. One physician
advocated the practice. Another, ex
plaining mat cue term means "easy
death," took exception to the idea,
and stoutly maintained that there
existed no moral right to sanction
such a course.
"If we should act upon the sug
gestion," he said, "having arrogated
unto ourselves the divine right to ex
tinguisn mat uniauionaoie some
thing called 'life' and should find to
morrow that cancer is curable, we
could not recall those whom we, in
our assumed knowledge, have killed;
for killing it is and nothing more."
Without attempting to enter into
the science of the matter, we do not
hesitate to line up on the side of the
physician who opposed any such
practice which might tend to has
ten death for any one afflicted with
any disease whatever. That is some
thing without our province as hu
pnan beings. The time and the man
ner of death rests with the Creator
and not the creature.
It is sometimes hard to under
stand why the re Is such suffering in
the world. Frequently the ones who
are longest in pain are those whose
lives have been pure and unselfish
It is beyond comprehension why they
should suffer as we know they some
times do. Often death is a relief to
that one who is afflicted, and to
those, even the members of the fam
ily, who are unable to do anything
to ease the pain.
Yet. it is too serious a responsi
billty even for a physician to assume
to hasten that end by the applica
tion of certain methods.
l ne tspeciansi advocating suen a
practice is probably conscientious
about it. He may think that use of
such a power would be a service to
humanity. But even from a strictly
human standpoint, such a license
would be a dangerous one. Who could
foresee the extent to which it might
be carried by those over confident of
their own knowledge? And even the
best of specialists in any line make
mistakes now and then, to say noth
ing of those of lesser ability.
But the one outstanding argument
against such a proposal is that there
is more than the human standpoint
to consider. There is one alone who
creates life and in His power it
rests. Surely it is not for us to as
sume "the divine right," as the phy
sician opposing the suggestion term
ed it, "to extinguish that unfathon-
fife."

are not saving money whon you pour clean oil
into a crank-case containing dirty oil heavily
diluted with easoline. You are hurrvine vour motor to
the junk pile. Strong language. But consider these facts.
No matter how carefully piston rings are
fitted, or how finely the carburetor is ad
justed, gasoline vapors leak past the
piston rings. Besides this, oil is contam
inated by hard particles of road dust
drawn in through the carburetor and the
breather tubes. After 500 miles of opera
tion, crank-case oil is becoming a grind
ing solution. With such oil rapid wear
and loss of power are certain.
Adjust the carburetor carefully. Use the
choke sparingly. Replace worn piston
rings. Flush out all old oil and refill with
Polarine after every 500 miles of operation!
Always use the grade of Polarine best
suited to your motor.
This assures protective lubrication and
operating economy. You gain many times
the cost of the additional oil in greater
power and bigger mileage from gasoline,
and in smaller repair bills. y
Look for this sign. Consult the Polarine
Chart. Buy the grade recommended a
