OUR RELATIONS WITH EUROPE.
Has the United States become guardian or
wet nurse for all of Europe? Herbert Hoover's
demand that we intervene In Hungary to pre
vent the return of the Hapsburgs to power,
and thus defeat the reascendancy of autocracy
is one sign. Senator Owen's appeal to the
president that he take action to support Euro
pean private credits is anqther. Both point to
the same conclusion, that we are expected to
do for Europeans what in the ordinary course
of life they should do for themselves.
Americans cast the full weight of their
great power against despotism as represented
by the German imperial government, including
the Hapsburgs. Our assistance effected the
overthrow of the existing dynasties, and put
self-government within reach of all the
peoples. Old states were revived and new ones
set up, and we are now asked to pledge our
selves to their perpetuation.
Having made the effort, with its attendant
sacrifices, Americans may be pardoned if they
ask what, use the Europeans have made of, the
liberty won for them. Central Europe presents
a deplorable picture of disorder and incom
petence, the end of which none can foretell.
Credits in Europe are sinking, because
production has ceased. This is true, not only
where the bolshevists have had control, but in
England. France and Italy. The people have
turned their attention to extravagant living, po
litical debate and industrial ruin. Lloyd
George's warning to the country was not a
fancy picture.
What can the United States do to remedy
this situation? Are we to go on, assessing our
selves both directly and indirectly, to feed and
clothe the masses over there, while they indulge
their passion for politics in ignorant pursuit
of a goal that only can be obtained by hard
work? Or will we tell them plainly they must
give over their madness, and set about to pay
their own way?
We will sell them our surplus, but the trade
should be on such terms as they can meet. Any
support given European credit ought to be
from private and not from public sources. Our
home affairs are already too deeply involved in
those of Europe. We should let the people
over there work out their own problems in
their own way.
Smuts On Britain's Problems
Economic experts say Germany is now
facing utter ruin. Politicians knew that five
years ago, but the kaiser crowd would not be
lieve it.
iieiiet ot the supreme council at Paris that
Archduke Joseph will resign could easily be

Nebraska's democratic senator lined up with

foolish daylight law. Has he become a "rubber
stamp" at last?
The next locally popular drive will be for

have impoverished themselves keeping down
the cost of living.
Mrs. Hohenzollern has bought a' house her
husband has not even seen from the outside, if

of the, "all-highest."
Josephtis Daniels is having a wonderful va
cation in the Hawaiian islands, but what is the
" good of having a navy if you can not take a
t ride once in a while?
Senator Owen proposes Uncle Sam lend his
f tfredit to Europe to keep up prices. All right,
if we are to become wet nurse to the universe,
swe might as well go about the job right.'
The president may forego the pleasure of
reviewing the navy at San Francisco for that
of greeting Pershing at New York. The latter
will not take him so far from Washington.
Germany is planning to return at once to
the protective tariff as the basis on which to
recreate its shattered industrial system. This
is the first sign of real sense shown over there
since the armistice was signed.
: About as interesting a diplomatic situation
as now exists is that of Mexico declining to
receive Peruvian envoys because of the coup
d'etat by which their administration came into
power. Write your own music.
"Man Without a Country."
Such bitterness of heart as Dr. Karl Muck
experienced when taken on board a steamer
bound for Europe might be. the means of gain
ing him sympathy, were it not for one thing.
If he is a "man without a country,' he alone is
to blame. He came here acclaimed a musical
genius; as such he was accorded whatever,
tribute intelligent art-lovers in America may
pay to one they delight to honor. A shower of
golden dollars fell in response to the waving
of his baton, and his situation was one of ease
and esteem, credit and high reputation. Ab
sorbed in the engrossing allurements of his ar
tistic life, he ignored any call he might have
felt to assume the fundamental responsibility
of citizenship. When the great war came, he
suddenly remembered that he was a son of
Germany, and with others of his kind followed
the impulse to glorify "kultur." America was
caught up in the maelstrom, and Karl Muck
found himself unable to do those things that
were necessary to avoid the fate that overtook
him. His wonderful ability at interpreting the
vague and obscure passages of the great com
posers, his capacity for eliciting the exquisite
tonal harmonies of the masters' music, did not
serve to enable him to solve the plainer things
of life, to comprehend the overtone of pa
triotism nor the undertone of humanity.
Granting till his genius, Karl Muck was found
to be an 'alien enemy and undesirable as a citi
zen, and is cast out by the world's greatest
democracy, solely because he does not know
how to express the great harmony of life.
New Price Level Possible.
, Announcement of a great falling off' in ex
ports to Europe and a reduction, in the value
of European money, coming almost simultane
ously, may presage a new price level for Ameri
ica. For many months the principal support
to profiteering on this side has been the export
demand. This has been artificially stimulated
to a. considerable extent, through the extension
of credit that has about reached its limit. With
Europe's power to buy cut off, the home mar
ket must be accepted as the outlet. When the
price has fallen low enough, European buying
will be resumed, for the immediate needs of the
people over there are not supplied, although
their purchasing ability is exhausted. This will
establish a check to anything like a disastrous
slump in values, but it will also serve to check,
the upward, sweep of all commodity prices. As
pointed out in The Bee some weeks ago, the
ability of the purchaser to pay is 'the factor
that will finally determine the price level, not
only here, but throughout the world.
The Art of Wooing
111
- There are experts in all lines, but shall not
a man who can persuade eight women to marry
. him rank as an authority on matrimony? Ac
cording to the Missourian who is locked up
: in the Tombs as a confessed bigamist, the way
to a woman's heart is through her higher
, emotions. "I appealed to the best in women
always," he says, "and never to their lower
:,- natures."
Women also, this artist in love discovered,
"like to be swept off their feet by those who
. , woo them; they have no patience" with the
dawdler. Nor did he find that it was essential
for the wooer to be handsome or more than
neatly dressed. But these, of course, are old
precepts in the manual of courtship. Ugly
men have often been great rakes, and ardor is
. traditionally effective in sweeping the reluc
tant fair "off their feet." His main contribu
tion to the art of love, and ft is one worthy
of Ovid, ys that of the potency of an appeal
to the higher nature of women.
- But is "the best" in women a "fixed quality,
or does it vary and require to be diagnosed in
the individual? That is no doubt a difficulty
that will confront . ordinary wooers. Is. the
higher feminine nature compatible with mati
nee tickets and tea dances, or -does it incline
seriously only to more elevated interests? The
recipe apparently leaves the problem about as
it was for less successful suitors to whom the
mystery remains of other men's easy mastery
of an art of which they fail to learu the rudi-
. ments. New York World. k .. .
Worm Shows Signs of Turning.
Decision of a group of tenants to try out in
court the right of the landlord to increase rents
arbitrarily promises to interest a lot of people
hereabouts. Omaha is a beautiful olace to live
and a city of homes, but a considerable pro
portion of its residents are not home owners.
These are at the mercy of landlords just now,
because there is an unprecedented scarcity of
houses or apartments for rent. It is not dis
puted that some items of cost to the owners
have increased, such as taxes, fuel, janitors'
wages, and incidental upkeep, and therefore
some increase in rental may be justified.
Whether the boosts running up to SO per cent
and even greater are warranted may be ques
tioned. If the courts should take cognizance
of the predicament of the tenants, and go to the
extent of judicially determining what is reason
able in the case, a general benefit for all Omaha
will follow. It does not help the city to have it
known that living conditions are so hard here.
Rent profiteers are standing in their own light.
When. Gen. Jan Smuts was leaving Eng
land for South Africa, he issued a manifesto,
addressed to the people of England and the
British empire. Portions of this may inter
est Americans, as General Smuts has been
brought forward rather prominently as the
real oratter ot the League of Nations covenant.
We therefore abridge from the London Tinits
tne toiiowing:
f. 1 C - . .

of disappointment with certain features of the
treaty ot Versailles, which formed the basis
of his protest at the time that document was
signed. He also reiterated a former statement
that now is the time when "reconciliation"
must be written on the sky, and went on:
No, it is not a case for hatred or bitterness,
but for all-embracing pity, for extending the
helping hand to late friend and foe alike, and
for a mission of rescue work such as the world
has never seen. Europe is and will for this
generation be the greatest mission field in
which the energies of the great-hearted peo
ples of this country and America could be
spent. (And the gospel will be that original
one of "good will among men," of human com
radeship beyond the limits of nations, of fellow-feeling,
and common service in the great
human causes. .
All this applies to Europe generally, but I
wish to add a word in reference to Germany
and Russia in particular, as the situation is too
grave to permit of any shrinking from the
frankest expression of opinion. The brutal
fact is that Great Britain is a very small ialand
on the fringe of the continent, and that on that
continent the 70 odd million Germans repre
sent the most important and formidable na
tional factor. You cannot have a stable Eu- i
rope without a stable, settled Germany; and
you cannot have a stable, settled, prosperous
Great Britain while Europe is weltering in con-
lusion ana unsettlement next door.
Kussia is an even more obscure and difficult
problem than Germany, and one on which no
uogmauc opinion would be justified. But from
all the information which has come into my
pussession i am seriously doubtful about the
c i: i. i . .
sun ui policy wnicn we seem to be pursuing
there. Russia can only be saved internally by
Russians tnemscives, working on Russian
methods and ideas. 'She is a case of national
pathology, of a people with a sick soul, and
only Russian ideas could work a cure. Our
military forces, our lavish contributions of
, tanks and other war material may temporarily
noisier up tne one side, but the real magnitude
of the problem is quite beyond such expedients.
Leave Russia alone, remove the blockade,
adopt a policy of friendly neutrality and Gal-ho-like
impartiality to all factions. It may
well be that the only ultimate hope for Russia
is a sobered, purified Soviet system; and that
may be far better than the Tsarism to which
our present policy seems inevitably tending.
If we have to appear on the Russian scene at
all, let it be as impartial benevolent friemis
and helpers, and not as military or political
partisans. Be patient with sick Russia, give
her time and sympathy, and await the results
of her convalescence.
, We have a good deal to set in order in our
own house. The dominions have been well
launched on their great career; their status of
complete nationhood has now received inter
national recognition, and as members of the
Britannic league they wilt henceforth go for
ward on terms of equal brotherhood with the
other nations on the great paths of the world.
The successful launching of her former colo
nies among the nations of the world, while
they remain members of an inner Britannic
circle, will ever rank as one of the most out
standing achievements of British political
genius, forms and formulas may still have
to b readjusted, but the real work is done.
There still remains the equally important
task of properly locating the great dependen
cies, like India and Egypt, fn the free demo
cratic British league. Recent severe Roubles
in both dependencies mentioned serve to re
mind us that no time must be lost in boldly
grappling with this problem. It is a task to
be approached in an open mind and with the
fixed determination here, too, to realize those
principles of freedom and self-government
without which this empire cannot continue to
exist in the new time.
But most pressing of all constitutional prob
lems in the empire is the Irish question. It
has become a chronic wound, the septic ef
fects of which are spreading to our whole sys
tem; and through its influence on America it
is now beginning to poison pur most vital for
eign relations. Unless the Irish question is
settled on the great principles which form the
.basis of this empire, this empire must cease
to exist. The fact that Irishmen cannot be
made to agree may have been a good reason
for not forcing on a solution during the war;
but now after peace the question should be
boldly grappled with. Our statesmen have
just Come back from Paris, where they have
dealt with racial problems like that of Ireland,
and in every way as difficult as the Irish prob
lem. They may not shrink from applying to
Ireland the same medicine that they have ap
plied to Bohemia and many , another part of
Europe.
And this brings me to say finally a word
on questions of a more domestic character in
this country. There are difficult days ahead
fot this country, and this nation will be tested
as never before in the searching times that are
coming. The greatest hurricane in history is
raging over the world, and it is idle to expect
that we shall be able to shelter ourselves from
its effects. Vast changes are coming, and are
already beginning to loom into sight. There
is no formula or patent medicine that will see
us through this crisis. i

inquirer It is not pasy to de
termine where the phrase, '"Gone

its origin. It is quite possible,
though, that it in some ways
amounts to a revival or persistence
of ancient beliefs. In the earlier

ing to them death, as the rising of

think of the dead as having fol

a similar thought should spring up
again is not especially to be won
dered at, and from this very prob
ably came the expression in com
mon use among the Allies.
Six Kinds of Policies.

you by all means to retain your in
surance with the government. You
will never get anything better or at
less cost. There are six kinds of
policies into which you can convert
the policy carried for you during
the war. These are:
Ordinary Life Policy Premium
payable every year during life of
insured.

Thirty-ear Endowment Same as
20-year, but extending the term 10
years longer.
Endowment Maturing at the Age
or tz Premiums are payable until
the insured readies the age of 62,
when the policy is 'paid up and the
wnoie amount is payable in a lump
sum to tne insured.
rtaies or premium vary for age
