A BUSY SENATOR
Senator Jim Reed of Missouri certainly
does believe that the people of his state
returned him to the Senate for the reason
that they believed the country is in
danger. Ever since he has been back
in Washington. Tames has been a-ramp-
aging up and down trying to reform or
alter or amend or correct or abolish or
establish something or other. In other
words James has set out to prove that
the original little busy bee which de-
lights to bark and bite to gather honey
all the day and cat it all the night has
nothing on him. James is busier stirring
up things than the pancake baker in a
beanery.
First and foremost. James is afraid
Jiat we arc going to have all sorts of
■ trouble with the nations of Europe. We
have a few soldiers over there at Cob-
lenz under the command of that excep-
tionally able soldier and accomplished
gentleman Gen. Henry J. Allen. .Now
that France has broken away from the
/. economic control of Great Britain and
proposes to make a few faces at Germany
by of putting Germany into such
* a good humor that she will pay all or
-a goodly part of her reparations bill at
/once. James was so excited over the pos-
sibility of trouble between the two coun-
tries that he at once introduced and had
] assed a resolution suggesting to the
/President that our troops now on the
Rhine be ordered home in the event that
; France sent any troops into Germany.
The energetic senator has also sensed
/needed reform in various departments of
the government and has announed that
• he proposes to introduce bills calling for
- sundry and extensive changes in the way
the country is being run. The list of the
things he proposes to accomplish is too
■ large to publish in this connection.
It will be remembered that when James
was in danger of being eliminated from
' . the Senate he took several months off and
went back to Missouri to campaign in his
. • own interest. lie was eminently success-
• ful in face of the fact that President Wil-
\' son asked the people of Missouri to vote
. him out of office and now that he is back
he seems bent upon creating an average
of efficiency for the time he was out
of the Senate. Not all of us will approve
everything that is advanced by Senator
Reed but wc are all agreed that he is a
man of energy and that he does things.
If we had more senators of his kind pos-
sibly the business of the nation would
be handled more expeditiously than is
now the case. A senator who is willing
to be busy is a valuable asset.
FOR EUROPE’S ULTIMATE GOOD
It is an old saying that a person s
character is fully revealed only when his
pocketbook is touched. In other words
where one’s treasure lies there is his
heart also. And it is psychologically dif-
ficult for debtors to adopt the advice of
Lincoln: “Let us be courteous to our
creditors.” A debtor is likely to be con-
temptuous of his creditors and some-
times his inability to pay is the measure
of his contempt. Moreover contempt
may easily develop into bate.
If the principle thus represented is
multiplied a thousand-fold and the prod-
uct applied to European conditions one
may begin to comprehend the problem
which Montague Collett Norman gov-
ernor of the Bank ‘of England outlined
shortly after his arrival in this country
to discuss international financial affairs
with officials of the United States gov-i
trnment.
In all of the nations of Europe he :
said debts and finances and reparations !
“have continuously loomed up on the |
horizon and have been a barrier to every 1
possible solution. All of those nations i
owe one another; most of them have
grown to hate one another more on this
account than any other. And so it re-
solves itself into a circle.”
J He did not. of course say that there
• Was any hatred of America. But that
? would have been unnecessary even if the
English financier had been indiscreet
enough to make such a statement.
' America is the greatest creditor of all
and she is regarded as the only nation
WEDNESDAY.
able to break the circle. Even Mr. Nor-
man expressed that conviction.
Upon expressing it however he has-
tened to say that Great Britain had no
intention or desire to cancel her debt
to the United States by any other means
than payment. Yet that reassurance by
no means alters the feeling of Europeans
as debtors toward America as a creditor;
it only modifies the consequences to be
expected so far as the British arc con-
cerned.
Europeans despised us when we would
not respond to their pleas for aid dur-
ing the early stages of the world war.
When we finally did respond to the plea
of the allies they professed to accept our
ideals along with our material aid. Now
some of them after spending our money
and dishonoring our ideals hate us be-
cause the only thing we insist upon get-
ting out of the war is a part of the money
we put into it on their account —only a
part because wc spent much for their
benefit with which wc have not charged
them.
But their idea of why the United States
insists upon the collection of its loans
to them is a very narrow one. They as-
sume that it is only the money that wc
are thinking of. Naturally we are not
anxious to lose any money. But there
is a more important Consideration. To
wipe off the slate all the loans which
America made to Europe for war pur-
poses would impair Americans believe
any prospect for world peace which the
world war created. The nations of Eu-
rope need a spiritual broadly moral re-
generation. A prodigal will go on spend-
ing money recklessly for useless purposes
so long as he has the money to spend.
Reduced to the bare satisfaction of his
vital wants with no surplus to throw
away he may possibly come to his
senses. Reprimands and precepts have no
effect upon him. Only dire necessity
may impress him with the importance of
vital realities.
To cancel the debts of the allies would
help them in a material way for imme-
diate purpose but the moral effect would
be bad. They would be enabled to start
anew but the start wouhj not be made
from the proper post. They can start
properly only by leaving definitely behind
them all the guides that have habitually
led them into trouble.
The wealth that the United States
would lose directly by cancelling its
monetary claims upon the Europeans
would be negligible as compared with
the indirect consequences which this coun-
try and the rest of the world would suf-
fer if the Allies were enabled to start
anew on the old basis toward which their
post-war course has pointed.
AN AMICABLE DISAGREEMENT
The sum of indications afforded by ca-
ble dispatches from Europe is that further
efforts on the part of the allies to find a
general solution for the reparations
problem will have to await the outcome
of an experiment which France is de-
termined to make on her account. The
situation has undergone an appreciable
and perhaps important change. What
the French arc now preparing to do could
not have been undertaken a few months
ago without being attended by consider-
able excitement. Then a seizure of the
Ruhr region and the Rhineland by French
troops could have been effected or even
attempted only over the positive protest
of the British. And a year or so ago
the attitude of the Germans toward such
a movement would have been definitely
hostile.
But now one reads not only that there
will be no move on the part of the Brit-
ish to stay or in any way interfere with
the execution of the French plans but
that the German government will offer
no resistance.
'1 he British have not indeed endorsed
the French program. Although it is
true that the premiers’ conference broke
up without having reached a positive
agreement it can hardly be said that the
allies have definitely and conclusively
broken with each other. The British
apparently have decided merely to stand
aside as it were so that the French may
unhampered by- active opposition put to
the test of actual experience their theory
that the only way to collect reparations
from Germany is to put that country un-
der tribute by first-hand compulsion.
That the entente has riot been utterly de-
stroyed is indicated by dispatches which
quote Premier Bonar Law as saying that
the break-up of the conference came about
“amicably.”
Just what went on behind the scenes
the public may never ascertain. But the
cable disptaches in the aggregate can
hardly fail to suggest the posibility that
a trade was made tacitly if not expressly
hor in addition to the announcement that
Britain will not offer obstacles to the
I rench plan of forcing tribute from the
Germans by military occupation of a
comparatively rich industrial section of
their country it is to be noted that so
tar as the allies are concerned the Brit-
ish policy has come to be about the only
one urged at Lausanne. Whether the
f rench have become convinced that their
interests in the Near East would be bet-
ter promoted by the triumph of the Brit-
i-h policy there one may only guess. But
certain it is that the French after hiving
attempted to assume a leading role in
dealing with the Turks are now playing
second fiddle at Lausanne. In vital re-
spects. too their "fiddle” seems to be
fairly in tune with Britain’s. Or. at the
worst they arc no longer giving the
Turks any such encouragement as the
Angora government received from Paris
several months ago.
In short the sum of the dispatches
from Europe indicate that Great Brit-
ain and France will give each other
a chance to practice their respec-
tive theories in the fields of their re-
spective greatest interest. Neither na-
tion may have any faith in' the other’s
pct policies: at least the British do not
believe that France will be able to get
any more out of Germany by the exer-
cise of force than would be forthcoming
through a downward revision of her re-
parations claims. In the meantime the
British will see what can be done about
the Near East without France’s hindrance
if not with her backing. And if finally
the French project in the Ruhr region
should fail then France may be ready
as a result of a sad experience to “listen
to reason.”
A QUESTIONABLE RULING
Attorney General Daugherty has made
a ruling concerning labor contracts which
may add to the embarrassment already
caused the Harding administration by pre-
vious decisions of his department. The
Associated Press dispatch reporting the
ruling does not present all the facts in
the specific case which the attorney gen-
era! considered but if the "open shop”
policy of the Builders’ Exchange of San
Francisco is what the quoted term im-
plies then the ruling cannot but be re-
garded a s vicious.
According to the dispatch the gist of
the ruling is that the conspiracy clauses
of the Clayton act arc contravened by
“agreements and contracts having for
their purpose the maintenance of the
‘open shop’ labor policy.” Government offi-
cials the report says hold the opinion to
be “sweeping in its scope and to cover
generally for the information of federal
district attorneys all phases of combina-
tions affected either by labor against em-
ployers or vice versa.”
The latter part of the sentence just
quoted indicates the possibility that the
ruling is fair. But much would depend
upon the definition of “combinations” and
it is to be recalled that law’s enacted dur-
ing the Wilson administration were de-
signed to exempt labor organizations from
the strictures of the Sherman anti-trust
act. Has the attorney general taken the
position that the maintenance of “closed
shops” is unlawful? Possibly; but if so
the same reasoning employed to reach that
decision could not logically be applied to
the “open shop” principle—provided of
course that “open shop” means in spe-
cific cases exactly what the term implies.
A genuine “open shop” is the direct
antithesis to a “closed shop.” It may be
in practice that no union men are em-
ployed in an “open shop” but such a con-
dition would be due to the refusal of
union men to work -with non-union men
and not because the former were exclud-
ed. A real “open shop” may employ
union as well as non-union men. The
fact that union men will not work in a
shop because it employs workers irrespec-
tive of whether they hold union cards
does not prevent such shop from being
“open.”
But no “closed shop” ever employs non-
union men. They are forbidden entrance;
that is just what “closed shop” means—-
the shop is closed against all who do not
hold union cards.
Which of the two kinds of shops is
monopolistic? How’ could the managers
or employers of an “open shop” be in a
conspiracy when they deny work to mem-
bers of. no class?
If the “open shops” maintained by the
Builders’ Exchange of San Francisco are
open only to non-union men and are
closed to union men then they are sim-
ply not “open shops”—they are “closed
shops” no less than the places of work
which bear the latter derignation.
If the maintenance of a genuine "open
shop”—a shop that is open to all classes—-
contravenes the Conspiracy clauses of the
Clayton act then that law is far more
vicious than the public has had reason to
believe and Congress should repeal it
with the maximum of dispatch.

THE SAN ANTONIO LIGHT.
Those Reparations Conferences.
There was nothing else to do but call
the Allied reparations conferences on
account of darkness.
The game had gone overtime so long
most of the fans had walked out on the
players. There is an inreasing suspi-
cion the conferences were being played
as a benefit for the hotel men and the
special correspondents.
Everybody is completely baffled* as to
what's what particularly in the United
States. This was illustrated the other
day when Secretary Hughes having
some sugestions to make to the confer-
ence. got so muddled he went to New
Haven instead of I’aris.
Life among the Allied diplomats has
been one "break'’ after another lu fact
the delegates hot rowing a phrase from
the automobile nds. greeted one another
with the remark. "Good morning. How
are your breaks?’’
If it wasn't a "break" it was a "rup-
ture" as anybody who follows the head-
lines knows. Proceedings had been re-
duced to a matter of dull routine. “Any-
thing to report under new break?” asks
the presiding officer at the reparations
parley. “We’re nil out of breaks for
the moment.” replies the chairman of
that particular committee. “Very well”
is the reply " we'll dose tinder breaks
and open under ruptures.” Etc.
The Allies haven't agreed on any-
thing since the war. You'd think they
had really gone through five years of
battles in order to make the world safe
for loud talkers.
If they'd stop and figure it up they'd
find that the cost of the war has been
exceeded by the cost of white paper.

interpreters export acountants and ho-
tels used for the reparations proceed-
ings. Not to mention railroad fares
telephone bills and personal expense
accounts.
England now favors reducing the Ger-
man indemnity and giving her time to
start in business for herself again.
Thore is no sense killing the goose-
step that lays the golden egg.
France holds that the war debt has
been cut oftener already than the price
on Ford cars. She has a sneaking sus-
picion Germany will par her in but-
tons and cough drops. Having been n
next door neighbor for centuries she
ought to know what to expect.
On the other hand. England lives
quite sonic distance away and is only
concerned about Germany when
France says with Bert Savoy “You
must come over.’’
Some idea of the deadlock may be
gained from the following tables:
What Germany Is Willing to Pay.
2.3.000.000 bales of German paper
marks.
Ono gross of pearl-handled knives.
250 cases of pretzels.

From a Seat in the Gallery
Washington. I). C-. Jan. 10.—If con-
gress keeps on behaving as it has been
behaving the bureau of the budget may
be considered safe. A real co-opera-
tion has been established. It is not
often that the recommendations made
by the bureau are overruled. This Is cr-
traordiuary because before the function
ot the budget-makers was thoroughly
understood many of the •’< ngressmen
exhibited an alarming hostility.
"Resolved that we give the Depart-
ment of Agriculture »200000 to buy
bugs with.”
That vas the gist of an item in the
current appropriation bill when it
reached the floor from the coma'iltM
rooms the other day. The department
needed that amount cf money to buv a
supply or instet parasites—to turn
loose on the corn-borer which is a dan-
ger to the crop in many stales. Massa-
chusetts seems first to have discovered
the borer but it is wontag its way
west until now it is infesting paits ot
the Mississippi valley.
“Let tn give half a million dollars.in-
stead” was some one’s amendment.
It is not hard to understand what n
tempting amendment that must hnve
been to the congressmen. There was
everything to recommend it —sympathy

Citizens of Tomorrow
By H. Addington Bruce.
It is axiomatic that in order to in-
sure a healthy competent right-minded
citizenry favorable conditions of child
nurture are indispensable.
“As the twig is bent so the tree
inclines.”' is no mere figure of speech
whether applied to trees or human be-
ings. Parental ignorance and neglect
in the matter of child rearing inevitably
mean a handicapping for adult life;
it may be a handicapping so serious
as to make of the unwisely reared
child a grave social liability.
And it is not only in the matter
of physical health that careful nurture
is required.
Failure to train for mental vigor
and'emotional control failure to incul-
cate sound moral principles are even
more disastrous. For the neglected ones
then grow up predisposed to conduct
disorders menacing the integrity of the
social organisms of which they are
parts.
This being so the prevalence today
of vice crime mental disease and
economic inefficiency points directly to
a prevalence of faulty home conditions.
And it unmistakably suggests that if
community and national well-being are
to be aintained some way must be de-
vised to rouse parents more generally
to a sense of their responsibilities.
The need for this is indeed defintely
demonstrated by the findings of a re-
cent survey of child life undertaken
in a certain Boston district by Dr.
Marianna Taylor of the Boston Psycho-
pathic Hospital.
Visiting “a random group of homes”
with a district worker. Dr. Taylor
studied closely the conditions under
which nearly 200 children were being
brought up. and the discernable effects
of those conditions on the children.
Here are a few of the discoveries she
made:
Twenty-two out of 190 children show-
ed nervous symptoms such as “figeti-
ness and choreiform movements shiv-
ering twitching of eyes and face.”
Nearly twice as many (thirty-nine)
otherwise manifested nervousness by
various disorders of sleep.
1 ifty-two habitually indulged in
“tantrums.” Forty-one could justly be
put in the category of spoiled chil-
dren. being “stubborn difficult and
uncontrolled.” Elevon were “ex-es-
sively bold” thirteen “excessively
timid.”
Five were addicted to “biting and
scratching others” five to truancy ai d
running away from home. Eighteen
had been in one school grade Iwo
years while thirteen were more se-
riously retarded mentallv. Throe suf-
fered from epilepsy. Eighteen had
“mentally deficient epileptic er
psychotic parents.”
Dr. Taylor is rightly of the
opinion that from her report of the
survey she made “those interested iu
mental hygiene can gain fool for
thought.” So can all whose business

able that the amendment would have

told to Congress and be is a brave mail
who will refuse the farmer anything.
“The bureau of the budget says that
$200000 is enough” said the chairman
of the committee having the matter m
charge.
There was a perfunctory debate and
the matter was dropped it has been
demonstrated that the bureau has gore
into each need with considerable thor-
oughness before making a recommenda-
tion. and the members who lucked pre-
cise knowledge were not inclined io dis-
close this fact. Furthermore the dis-
position or the average congressman is
undoubtedly to save the government's
money wherever he can. so long as the
saving -s not at the expense of Ids own
district. Not once'in ten times is the
budget bureau overruled and even then
oddly enough the chanses a:e the ap-
propriation will be cut below the sum
allotted by Gen. Herbert M. Lord. In
other werds the budget seams in most
cases to be suggesting the maximum
rather than the minimum sum for the
governmental services.

INDUSTRIAL BANKING.
What is the difference between com-
mercial banking and industrial bank-
ing?
When a person needs credit accom-
modation and seeks it at a commer-
cial bank he finds that ability to re-
pay the loan in one to four months
collateral or other assets and a for-
mer satisfactory connection with the
institution from which he is about to
borrow are prime requisites If the
loan is made -he pays geimrally 6 per
cent discount. lie often keeps in the
bank a balance of about 20 per cent
of what he borrows
But approximately 85 per cent of
the average community nre unable
because of the requirements to ob-
tain loans at commercial banks as
a rule.
For this portion of the population
there are in many .qi.ties industrial
banking institutions some called
banks some called loan companies.
Credit is offered under different re-
quirements by these institutions. The
one outstanding feature is that an av-
erage of from ten to twelve months
is given to pay off the loan in either
weekly or monthly installments.
The character of the borrower plays
an important part in the credit de-
cision. This together with two in-
dorqomentS given by individuals who
may be in the same walk of life as
the borrower has proved industrial
banking a safe and profitable method
of finance.
Same institutions accept two indors-
ers nnd charge a 6 per cent distcount
and a 2 per cent flat investigation fee;
others charge anywhere from 1 per cent
to .3 1-2 per cent per month on un-
paid balances and accept chattels as
security.
Long ago the Russel Sage Founda-
tion made a study of industrial bank-
ing and showed that such an institu-
tion had to charge a higher rate of
interest than a commercial bank to
.stay in business. Small loans over ex-
tended periods are costly.

A Laugh or Two
The road was rising from the foot-
hills into the Tennessee mountain’.
The motorist had borrowed a bucket
"Many snakes?” was the next in-
quiry.
“Well my wife killed twenty-four
down in the pasture”
said the ow ran. <
“Why that was a fearful experi-
suce” gasped the motorist.
“Yes it was kind of annoying." re-
plied the farmer. "You sec she wasn't
out after rattlesnakes she was after
persimmons.” ■
Among the members of a fashion-
?b!o country club are a doctor and a
sinister who delight in the exchange

As they met one
day the minister
observed that be
was "going to read
to old Cunning-
lam.” adding (as
he was aware that
the old man was a
patient of his
friend the doctor!:
"Is he any worse?”
With the gravest of .expressions the
physician replied: -U
"He nerds your help more
mine.”
Off his guard the minister asked
anxiously: "Poor fellow; is it as bad
as that?”
"Yes: he is suffering from insomnia
you know.”
The master of an elementary school
sent a circular to the parents of Mg le
of the pupils tinder his charge dating
that judicious cor-
ona of the replies:
