Lloyd George on France.
SI00,00(1.000 Hutting.
Our If ell Managed
Earth.
When to Sell Umbrellas.
ARTHUR BRISBANE^
Everybody in Washington prob
ably read Lloyd George’s latest
article on Europe; published Sun
day, and that’s a good thing.
Referring to 15 years imprison
ment for the head of the Krupp
factory by order of the French
military court Lloyd George says:
"There's a swagger of brutality
f\bout that sentence which betokens
recklessness.”
Hb says also of France: "Rus
sian arrogance in its crudest days
furnished no such example of
clumsy*arid short-sighted inepti
tude.”*
Whatever Americans may think
of European conditions and re
cent action by the French, it is
important for them to know what
Lloyd George thinks. His is the
intelligence that took England and
some of the other nations through
the war, and he will be the Eng
lish leader in the war that is com
ing, if he lives.
Lloyd George believes that war
on the greatest scale is coming,
with France as the moving mili
tary power. These are the last
words of the article that was
printed Sunday:
“No wonder Marshal Foch is
touring Central Europe to put the
allied armies in order. He seems
to be the one man in France who
has an understanding of what all
this is leading up to."
That statement should be read
carefully by President Harding.
Are the nations of Europe now
in such shape as would enable
them to establish a “world court”
whose decisions Americans would
he willing to accept as final in re
gard to American affairs?
The attitude of France toward
England and the United States
Lloyd George puts bluntly, thus:
“Meanwhile, the British empire
^nd the United States of America,
who, at prodigious cost*in life and
treasure, saved France frim a simi
lar humiliation to which she is now
inflicting Germany, are practi
cally told when they venture to
offer suggestions, to mind the.r
own business. No interference
will be tolerated from meddlers
of any sort.”
Col. W. Jefferson Davis, United
States legal adviser in Europe, rep
resenting the War department
at the congress of international
aviation legislation, supplies facts
that interest the American people
and government, iri view of new
wars that are threatening
Fiance has 5,000 airships, in’
first-class condition, ready for war
at a moment's notice. They drop
1.000-kilogram shells. 100 times
as'destructive as the shells used at
the beginning of the late war.
Here in the United States we
have $100,000,000 worth of fly
ing machines unused, rusting
away, as our hi 11 ion dollars worth
of ships are rusting at their docks.
There is plenty of work for
American statesmen to do here in
the United States, without wander
ing over to Europe looking for oc
cupation.
This eurth is well and evenly
managed. You are reminded of it
when you read of the terrific rain
fall at Beaumont, Tex., 13 inches
in two hours. Streets were flooded,
telephone girls and others went to
work in their bathing suits. “Jit
ney” motor boats appeared in the
streets, street cars stopped.
Constantly there are above our
heads endless millions of tons of
water. If the mass should fall to
gether, cities would' be swept into
the sea and the human race washed
away like ants hefore a garden
hose. Nature takes up the water
in mist, send* it down a drop at a
time and keeps us safe.
Teachers, through newspapers,
ought to scatter knowledge as na
ture scatters rain, one drop at a
time, easily absorbed.
Sodalists are planning a national
labor party. Several groups would
be fused for the coming campaign.
Such a party would depend for
success on had times. When it is
raining you can sell umbrellas.
With times bad, wages low
and jobs scarce, something might
he done with a “national labor
party.’’ Rut with rough, unskilled
labor making $6 a day, and skilled
labor making from *11 to $30
with bonuses and extras, it
wouldn’t be easy to interest labor
in any new party.
Rid you notice Henry Ford's
short reply to a reporter who
asked him whether he expected to
he elected president.
“They would never allow that,”
replied Ford.
Asked what he meat l by "they,”
Mr. Ford declined to go into de
tails. There are several possibili
ties, but the big “they” are the
gentlemen thtat once went out
from Wall street to Detroit to
tell Ford how they planned to
manage his business after lending
him $60,000,000. They were shown
♦ he'door ndt boo politely add it.
hurt their feelings. Resides, they
say, “Ford is financially not
sound.” Wall street arid its
hranchees throughput the country
have a good deal 'to sav about
nominations and elections. And
“they” won’t he exactly booming
Henry Ford in 1924.
You will find that, when election
day comes around in 1924, the re
publicans will have edged a long
way off from the world court and
the League of Nation .

Bincoln, May 21.—Governor Bryan
asserted he had received Information
certain interests were making efforts
to persuade university authorities to
i carry on n campaign of education to
induce farmers to eradicate tuber
culosis in cattle through ns» of sh* ■
funds appropftated for that purpose
"I do not believe it is the duly of
I a state* educational Institution to use
; its funds to take part in a raid on
the treasury," the governor said. '"No
funds were appropriated to the univer
sity for that purpose and if any one
; connected with that educational in
stitution has so far forgotten his
duties as to carry on such work. 1
wish to he advised about it."
The legislature, in the face of tlie
governor's avowed opposition, passed
a bill, separate from- the general ap
propriation bill, appropriating $285,000
for eradication of bovine tuberculosis.
Tile appropriation was not recom
mended by the governor. Hence 60
' ntes were needed to pass it. Through
efforts of Representatives Theodore
(•sternum and Henry Bock, demo
crats, sufficient democratic votes were
mustered in the holies to pass the
hill.
However, it was admitted* that if
Hie governor would veto the Idll the
two-thirds votes necessary to oveV
ride the \eto couldn't h** mustered.
But he didn't veto it. The hill be
came a law without his signature.
The governor was asked today why
he didn't veto the appropriation which
he declared was a raid on the treas
ury. He replied: "Recause 1 do not
think the governor has a moral right
to use his official position to veto a
hill that plainly had the support of
such a large majority of the legis
lature The governor, in fact, has
no power to veto this bill, according
to general interpretation of the
aemnded state constitution "
A number of prominent attorneys
in Lincoln assert lie had the power
to veto it.
This bill had seven more votes in
the lower house than the Mathers
D.vsart governmental reform bill
which the governor vetoed in short
order.

Omaha business men on the annual
goodwill trade tour of Nebraska and

friend or two along to witness the de
parture of the special. Pan Pcs
dunes' hand, accompanying the mem
hers of the trade tour as official gloom

half an hour before train time.
Representatives from all manufac

Omaha formed the trade group. They
left under the leadership of Frank S

and W. A. Ellis. The leaders, speak
ing for the entire group, expressed

"The Idea of the tour is to promote
good fellowship between the manufae
surer amj his customer.” Mr. Keogh
said. "Every year that we ha\e made
sueh a tour business men of Omaha
ha\e declared It a success and this
year I believe that we wlU make it
a greater suceess than ever before."
