AMERICA WON'T FOOT THEIR BILLS.
The debt of $11,000,000,000 owed to the United
States sits lightly on the seventeen European na
tions to whom these war-time and post-war ad
vances were made. The English government is the
only one displaying even so much as a desire to
discuss the matter of payment. And now the Brit
ish refunding commission is returning home from
conference with American treasury officials in
Washington, without any agreement having been
reached.
The little news that leaked from this secret dis
cussion is to the effect that the British insisted on
reducing the interest rate to at least 3 per cent.
This does not square with the hard fact that the
American government, which borrowed the money
from its citizens through Liberty loans, is paying
from 3'-a to 4 tj per cent interest. The chancellor
of the exchequer will at least carry home the in
formation that there is no chance of cancellation.
The act of congress which authorized the creation
of the World War Foreign Debt commission for
bade the concession of a rate of interest below 4U
per rent and limited the time of maturity of such
bonds to 1947. This is less than twenty-five years
in the future.
It is extremely improbable that these loans will
have been cleaned up by that time, and some con
cessions probably will have to be permitted by con
gressional action. There is nothing now going on
in Europe which indicates either the desire or the
ability of our foreign debtors to meet even the in
terest payments. Before much headway is made it
will be necessary for the rulers of these countries
to alter their financial and military policies and for_
the people to get back to productive work. Pro
posals that these debts be cancelled on condition
that Europe mends its ways are not to be consid
ered. If Europe would settle down to peace and
industry it would have no great difficulty in paying
off the I. O. U.’s that now seem so worthless.
Who owes the money? In round figures the
list is as follows:
Armenia ..$ 13,000.000
Austria . 25,000,000
Belgium . . .. 420,000,000
< EScho-&|ovakl*. 101.000.000
Esthonid . 15,000,000
Finland . 8,000,000
France . 3,716,000,000
Great Britain .. 4,675,000,000
Greece . 15,000,000
Hungary ...>••.. 1,786,000
Italy . 1,850.000,000
.lugo-Slavia . 56,000,000
Latvia . 5,000,000
Lithuania . 5,000,000
Poland .. 146,000,000
Rumania .. 40,000,000
Russia .*. 216,000,000
Some of the smaller loans, those to Armenia,
Czecho-Slovakiu, Esthonia, Finland, Latvia, Lith
uania and Poland represent in part the food deliv
ered to their starving peoples by the American re
lief administration in 1919. This debt, amounting
to $96,000,000, may yet have to be charged off to
charity. The sum of $60,000,000 due the United
States Grain corporation by Armenia, Austria,
Czecho-Slovakia, Hungary and Poland will likewise
be very difficult to collect. The rest of the loans
should be good.
It will not be easy to secure payment on any
part of the $11,OQO,000,000, but it is up to the
countries involved to begin discussing this matter,
and they had just as well leave all thoughts of can
cellation behind. If it had not been for America's 1
intervention, the allies would have lost the war.
Their gratitude, which now appears .so slender, j
should at least be strong enough to make them wish
co arrange for payments of their honorable debts.
It is experiences of this sort which discourage
American participation in European affairs. Uncle
Sam does not li^e the thought of being made the
victim of diplomatic duplicity and emphatically will
refuse to shoulder any greater share of the cost of
the world war.
BELLEAU WOOD A MEMORIAL.
Subscriptions arc being raised to create a fund,
lie object of which is to purchase Belleau Wood, to
become a perpetual memorial to the Americans who
fought there. Chateau-Thierry and then Belleau
Wood were the turning point of the war. The check
there given von Hindenberg's army soon developed
into the retirement that only halted on November
11, 1918. It was the beginning of 200 days of fight
ng, in every one of which American dash and valor
played a conspicuous part.
What we are trying to do now is to wipe out the
effects of war, to recognize the world along lines
where war will be abolished, and peace prevail among
ill nations. Yet in doing this we need not forget
he men who served their country and humanity so
’.calously and well. It is not inconsistent with the
purposes and ideals of peace to cherish the memory
nf our soldiers who fell in battle for the defense of
.he republic and human liberty.
How time h»s softened the feelings of men is
indicated by the following from the Springfield Re
publican:
“In the will of Holt Bolton, who died last week
in England, 1.000 marks is left to a German soldier
as a mark of gratitude for ‘true comradeship at the
battle of the Somme.- At current quotations the
bequest, to be sure, comes to not much more than
a dime, but the spirit of it should gratify the Bavar
ian corporal who is remembered in the will. To the
credit of humanity there were on both sides many
line examples of ‘true comradeship.' "
France is dotted all over with memorials. These
will become shrines, not of racial jealousy or na
tional hatreds, but to perpetuate the lofty ideals of
men, now at low ebb, but living yet and encouraged
to hope for the time when “all men's good is each
man's aim,” and
•When the war drums throb no longer and the
battle flags are furled
In the Brotherhood of Man and the Parliament of
the World.”
Belleau Wood may well be preserved, for there
J-, a fitting spot at wjiich to commemorate the memory
oall the men who fought and kept the rendezvous
with death that government of, for and by the peo
ple might live, and that such a war may never again
be possible.
WALLIE REID A LIGHTHOUSE.
Many tears will be shed for Wallace Reid. Eyes
that lit up with pleasure at seeing his pictures on
the screen will be dimmed by the thought that he
is dead, a victim of indulgence. Yet Wallace Reid
dead ought to serve, humanity in another and maybe
a better way. Living he ministered to the joy. of
the pnhlic. He was a fascinating comedian, his
plays were clean and full of snap and action, and
were enjoyed by millions.
Wallace Reid had everything one might wish
for happiness in life, his greatest handicap was too
much leisure. One can not think of him as in
herently vicious; he was rather one of the careless,
happy-go-lucky chaps, looking for excitement and
deluding himself that his dalliance with a deadly
drug was merely an adventure, until he found him
self not slipping, but almost at the bottom of the
slide along the easy way.
His gallant tight to come back was watched with
sympathy by the nation. Earnest men and women
prayed that he might be spared, his wife lingered
around his bedside to cheer and encourage him,
and everybody voiced or felt that Wallace Reid
would recover and take up once more his work.
Nature exacted payment, however, and sorrow
comes instead of anticipated rejoicing.
Wallace Reid should stand as a lighthouse, to
warn American youtl} from the dangerous path. It
leads to destruction of body and soul; the victim of
narcotic drugs suffers and pays in life by the loss
of all that makes life worth living. And no man
or woman can avert the inevitable result of fool
ing with these drugs. If life means anything to j
you, let them alone. If Wallace Reid’s sad ex
perience saves by its warning even one who might
otherwise have perished, his death is not in vain. |
MORE FOR ALL.
I.t is a natural, and yet a mistaken belief, that
an increase in the amount of money in circulation
necessarily means increased prosperity or that a
smaller per capita circulation means it is harder to
make a living. It is not money, but goods, that
spells prosperous times. An inflated currency, by j
which is meant a larger than normal circulation, i
means tfyat each piece of currency is worth less. ,
and that means that prices rise. Russia and Ger
many ar£ examples of countries in which money is
abundant—and almost worthless.
At the present time the per capita circulation in
the United States is $41.80. A year ago it was
$41.93. The average circulation is less, and yet
the average condition among the people is better.
The answer is that production of manufactured
commodities in 1922 was about 50 per cent greater
than in 1921, according to figures compiled by the
Department of Commerce from the latest census
bureau’s reports. Textile mills were about 20 per
cent more active than in 1921, the south benefited
especially in this respect: the iron and steel indus
try increased its output from 60 to 70 per cent over
1921, non-ferrous metals from 50 to 95 per cent; j
petroleum 15 per cent; coke 40 per cent; paper 20
to 30 per cent; automobiles 50 per cent; building
construction 50 per cent; lumber 35 per cent; brick
50 per cent; cement 15 per cent; leather 20 per
cent; sugar 45 per cent, and meat about 5 per cent.
Agricultural production was in general higher than
in 1921. The declines of outstanding importance
were 7 per cent in bituminous coal and 47 .per cent
in anthracite, due to the prolonged strike.
The advancement of civilization depends on its
increased productivity. Extravagance and waste
do not add to a people’s wealth, even though a
great deal of money may change hands in thnt way.
In fact, extravagant spending, on pleasure, dissipa
tion or for useless service, impoverishes the World
by withdrawing labor fromjuseful production.
NO “DANGEROUS AGE” FOR HER.
An Omaha matron, just before celebrating her
golden wedding, told an inquiring reporter there
had been no “dangerous age’’ in her matrimonial
venture. Nine children live to honor their father
and mother, and this probably explains the success
of the venture. The father was industrious and
thrifty, and while he worked hard to provide for
the needs of the flock, his wife found her time
pretty well taken up with earing for the children
and the home. , ,
She did a lot of things the modern housewife
is not called upon to do. They took up her time,
but they were part of the wife’s work, and she at
tended to them. Babies came along, one after an
other, each adding a little to the mother’s routine
of employment—and bringing the reward that only
a baby can bring into a home. So it went, until
her little ones had grown up to be men and women,
getting married and setting up homes for them
selves. But father and mother kept right on going,
and the light of love shone clear along the pathway
of life, giving its duties the rosy color of loving
service, its toil the character of help to one an
other. Dangerous age? Not in such a marriage
as that, and the glory of humanity is that there arc
far more of these partnerships than of the sort
where artificial stimulus must be applied to keep
alive the interest that sustains and brightens the
venture each succeeding day.
j The Discovery of Porcelain
’ "A. E. Grantham, in Asia Magazine for February.
In the third century R. C'., in the early days of the
ltans, art in the sape of glaze came to the rescue and
dragged pottery out of the menial grayness in which
it had remained so long. Whether glaze was newly
invented in China or copied from western models it
is impossible to say. It certainly had been in use in
Egypt and Assyria for centuries, and it is known that
in the Han period, particularly during the reign of
Wu-ti <140-187 B. C.l, the Chinese succeeded in getting
in touch with their western neighbors. Anyhow,
whether derived from Persia or discovered independent
ly, glaze became part and pprcel of the Chinese potter's,
outfit.
• It had fallen into skillful hands which made it a
thing of infinite beauty. Into the unctuous fluid the
potters dipped and redipped the vessels. They splashed
it on, they blew it on, they poured it on, ladled it
on lavishly like clotted cream, and in tHe kiln it would
stream round the vases in a rush of burning lava,
sizzle in a thousand bubbles on the surface, stagnate
in rich pools in every hollow,, coagulate in heavy beads
about the edges, sweep round the handles and the
spout in streaks and eddies wherein every shade of
green amber and brown and, as the Chinese grew in
art, of blue and crimson, was whirled .and drowned,
to be born again in another fiercer, fierier glow. For
the Chinese raised the heat in their furnaces to a
much higher temperature than any other potters dared
to use. Consequently, both the body and the glAze of
their wares developed a degree of hardness, homo
geneity and luster unattained elsewhere. Sometimes
the color transmutations of these wonderful glazes were
so novel and unexpected that terror seized upon the
workmen. Some fancied their protecting spirit, the
god of the furnace, had gone mad audit bey fled lest
hls magic should sweep-them also into the vortex of
his demoniac power. Some even destroyed the freak
vessels and the kilns in which they had been born.
Rut a few, braver than the average, watched and noted
the uncanny accidents that happened to their vessels
in the kiln, and finally, through years of observations,
experiments, failure* and successes, discovered the
l secret of porcelain
“From State and Nation”
—Editorials from Other Newspapers—
Nebrashik's Forest*.
Kt-om the Norfolk News,
The announcement that a repre
sentative of Uie forestry service is
< on)ing to Norfolk to discuss the for
, estry problem as it affects this state,
may raise a question in the minds
of many persons as to just what these
! problems are. Ordinarily we look
| upon forestry as a matter which con
cerns only those states which have
forest. But the problem may be just
as .important to those states which,
like Nebraska, have no tree-clad
regions worthy of the name of for
ests. 1
Dr. Charles E. Bessey, late profes
sor of botany of the University of
Nebraska, made a hobby of Nebraska
forests. Not forests of the present
blit those which his vision told him
would he possible were the state to
adopt an encouraging attitude. Dr.
Bessey held that the bare sand hills
of th“ west could be covered with
trees with very beneficial results not
only to the region direetly affected,
but to the whole state as well. Tie
discovered that Jack pine would grow
in certain parts of the sand hills.
After these bad become established he
believed that perhaps under I heir pro
teetion other trees might bo induced
| to take root and thrive. Some prog
, ress was made during his lifetime to
ward realizing his Ideals.
If his vision should come true it
would no doubt bring about a great
change in climatic conditions in thik
state. If tho wind, instead of sweep
ing over the bare hills of sun-baked
sand, were tempered by blowing ,
.through the cooling shade of a thick
ly forested region, the "hot winds"
that have been the terror of farmers
in parts of tho state might lose much
of their destructive power. The pres- j
dice of trees would retard the Hood j
waters. Instead of running off rapid
ly Jis it does on barren soil much of It
would be retained and sink into thq
ground if the country were forested.
An arid region might thus be con
verted into one much more amenable
to cultivation. The soil building qual
ity of trees is also not to be ignored
as one of the benefits to be derived
•By future generations.
Altogether there is considerable
that might he said about Nebraska's
forestry problem.
A Needed Co-Operation.
From the St. Loula Globe-Democrat.
The Associated Advertising Clubs
of the World, at the close of a confer
ence at Atlantic City, adopted a reso
lution expressing the conviction that
"the time has come when every right
thinking man and women should .ioin
his or her efforts with those of the
forces for good in this country in
means to develop the spiritual side
of man. to offset the great stress on
material things." The 250 advertising
clubs of the organization, distributed
in all parts of this country, Canada,
• treat Britain and Australia, and the
departments of the National Adver
thing commission, were called upon
"to give the churches of their local
ct intimities the splendid co-operation
for which their special training us ad
vertising men and sales managers fits
them to bring to all elements of our
society the gospel of truth and right
doing."
Tile aim expressed in this resolu- ‘
tion, the development of the spiritual j
side of man, is one that has always
existed in some minds, and one to
ward which, consciously or uncon
sciously, men have always been strug
gling. It is an aim about which
much is written or spoken today, per
haps more than ever in former times.
But it is not one that is apt to he
considered in the discussions of or
ganizations whose practical purpose*
apply strictly to business, whatever
may be its concern to the members
individually, it Is usually left to the
preachers and moralists. Business is |
affected by either the spiritual im
provement or degradation of society,
however, for nothing escapes their
influences; they have shaped the great
est events of all time and exert a con
trol.over the material surroundings of
every one; and, because the problems
of tile present are many, and of such
seriousness that people recognize that
they would soon become chaotic if
governed only by selfish motives and
’material desires, it is not unnatural
that business organizations should I
begin to give attention to matters, I
eoncernig tlie spiritual nature of men.
that do not pertain strictly to busi
ness.
The Associated Advertising Clubs,
even more definitely than most other
organizations of this character, are I
an outgrowth of material develop- I
merit. Industrial changes, affecting
production and distribution have
made advertising not only a conveni
ence but one of the greatest neces
sities of trade. But for the same rea
sons that have made the service of ad
vertising men indispensable to busi
ness and industry, theirs can be a serv
ice of unusual value, in carrying out
the intent of their resolution. They
propose to help as far as they can,
through the 25,000 members of the
organization, to “offset the great
stress on material things." Such
things are essential to human wel
fare, of course, but they depend for

Why Some < o-Operaiives Kail.
From the Ltrovers' Journal Htockfnan.
A study of co-operative activities in

of failures is due to faulty organiza
tion and management. In other
w Vs the theory of co-operation will
not work out in actual practice unless
t- l> a i s.iieguared as any other

The extreme democratic ideal as ap
plied to business is the cult of in
competence in the form of organized
incapacity. This is why so many
elaborate and seemingly feasible co
.crutive marketing plans and asso
ciations have failed and will always
fail- Such plans contain in them
selves. or have contained so fur, the
Inevitable necessity of failure. What
is everybody’s business, or what is
tiie business of too many men. is, al$
a rule, nobody’s business.
Advocates of such plans have pro
ceeded upon a wrong assumption in
that they have inferred that what an
organization with a responsible, au
thoritative head could do for itself and
its stockholders could also be done by
unskilled men under ail conditions.
Any business requiring the exercise
of executive power with consequent
Individual responsibility must be un

Character the Essential.
From the Pittsburgh Gazette Times.
White people as well as colored
should be instructed in the address de
livered by Dr. Robert R. Moton, prin
cipal of Tuskegee Institute, aat Mont
gomery. He said, the position the An
glo-Saxon race holds is duo to charac
ter, not color of skin. It follows that
unless the whites look well to the
maintenance of their character they
will lose their station. They may re
tain the power of dominance through
force for a time, but without charac
ter that compels respect of all peoples
whatever the hue of their skin they
will sink to a lower level. The prin
cipal that Dr. Moton sought to em
phasize is that the Sole hope of ad
vancement by the colored people of
the United States is through the de
'elopment of character.
He asked that his race he not
fudged by and blamed for the con
duct of a few "who miserably misrep
resent our race." This is sound, as
is his further statement that "the ne
gro should not he prejudiced toward
(he white race on account of a few
whites who do not represent the gen
eral thought and attitude of their
rare.” The vicious element among
any people is a minority. This is well
established. Unfortunately criminal
ity commands attention beyond its
deserts in the formation of judgments
as to character of a mass. Whites
suffer from this ns much as do ne
groes, in proportion to their numbers.
Understanding of this is fundamental
to the. upbuilding of character which
will contribute more than anything
else to appropriate relationships be
tween the races.

Central City Neb.—To the lklitor
of The Omaha lice; I would like to
answer Mr. Baugh's letter of the 11th.
Me says Mr. Lukenhill would like to
go back to old standards. 1 have
asked nun of standing in different
parts of this country what they
thought of the schols now ns com
pared to the schools of 10 to 20 years
ago and every one said he doubted if
the output was as good as it was
then; that they were not as well pre
pared to meet problems of life now
as then. Then they were better and
more thoroughly drilled in the funda
mental branches that stood for good
j citizenship. Now- they are often
- coached and drilled to pass the eighth
grade and slip through as mere chll
[ dreti 11 to 13. They are not matured
enough often and are passed on to
! unimportant branches and lose the
fundamentals to build on. Do you
ever see one hunting work now?
What they are after is to go to school
to get out of work.
Now, Mr. Baugh, you don't think,
do you. that the branches above a
thorough knowledge of the eight
grades makes a better American citi
zen? If not, why shouldn’t we give
the one that leaves school at the
eighth grade $432 to buy horses to help
him earn more money.
What does the world want now?
It is food. Where are your graduates,
with a few exceptions? They are not
on the farm raising something from
nothing, but they are in town living
off of other people.
It is qu-er so many talk so much
about going back. Oil, no. you mustn't
go back; you will lose in efficiency.
But tiie farmer went back from $1.75
for a bushel of corn to 25 cents last
year and 50 this year. Did that stand
for poor, worthless corn? No, it was
better quality than the high priced
corn was. Did higlt labor stand for ef
ficiency? You know it didn't. AVhen
Ford took off hundreds and thousands
or you will eventually kill the goose
put was greater than it was before.
The idea is that school expenses and
salaries must come down at least one
half as much as the farmers’ produce
or you will eventually kill the goose
that laid the golden egg. Mr. Baugh,
ill our district 65 per cent of farms
are owned by either old people,
widow's or men not able to farm. They
get two fifths of the crop, the renters
get three-fifths, and three men and
families would work eight farms.
Now, if these were all, renters
couldn't they pay from their shares
their own children's education? One
renter in our district works the whole
of two quarters sections and half of
two others. That makes him clear
about one-half section of good land
with scarcely any taxes, and these old
people with two-fifths of a quarter
section have to pay $216 in taxes and
pay for three others at home. Is tills

Olir Public Schools.
Council Bluffs.—To the Editor of
The Omaha Bee: The most impor
| tant institution in our country today
j is the public school. The most impor
: tant thing in the public school is not
the school board, not the superintend
i ent, not the principals, but the child
to be taught. This fact is overlooked
sometimes by the teachers them
selves, who are so intent on toadying
to the principal or superintendent, or
possibly viewing their positions as a
means of securing fine trousseaus
that the child is fjulte neglected.
The efficiency of our schools is de
pendent mostly upon the kind of in
structors employed therein. The
I harm done by careless, indifferent
teaching is incalculable; while the
! immense benefit derived from consci
j entious teachers cannot be expressed
t in mere words.
How are the best results, then, to
be obtained? By careful observation,
measurements, systematic pruning of
indifferent employes and lives of those
taught watched carefully for results.
Youth is the most impressionable
time, therefore good problems, morals
and manners, the fear of God, careful
habits, must be taught *11 the public
school to the precious souls con
tained therein, or in mfeny cases ft
will never be taught at all, as many
children are never sent to Sunday
school to receive any religious in
struction whatever.
Make the schools practical and
pleasant—have movies—the right
sort—teaching geography. botany,
history, current events, reading and
many other subjects.
Pay the good teacher well, get rid
of the poor one and our country will
be safe and sound for centuries yet
to come. C. S.

Mu-rad Receivers
Inventions by Mu-Rad engineers are
establishing new high standards of
World
radio reception. A Mu-Rad Radio Fiequency Receiver
with a small loop aerial is more sensitive, more selective,
simpler to operate and more compact than any other
type of receiving equipment. These are facts, deter
mined by impartial tests and comparisons.
Guaranteed for 1,000 Miles Reception
We substantiate these claims by a positive, written guar
anteo on each Mu Rad Receiver of 1.000 miles -eception on a
loop—another innovation in the marketing of radio receiver*.
