AN INTERVENTION PROPOSAL
Fred W. Upham treasurer of the Re-
publican national committee announced
recently that he would recommend. to
President Coolidge ihe .appointment of
a commission <>f American business men
“to determine as soon as possible what
reparations < iermany is able to pay.
Authority for such a step would of
course have to come from Conirrcss.
The idea presented by Mr. Upham is
not. except as to detail.' a new .one.
Many Americans have long felt that of
all the nations on earth the I r.itcd
States is the only one that is competent
to make an equitable settlement of the
reparations question. V. ilh the possible
exception of those who have believed
that this countrv should i' in the League
of Nations and perhaps recent develop-
ments in Europe have chilled the ardor
of that belief —American business men
would like to sec such »t settlement ef-
fected. This does Pot. however neces-
sarily mean that thev would advocate
the step which Mr. Upham proposes.
For the "Republican committee’s treas-
urer would have the United States un-
dertake the project regardless of the
attitude of France toward it—even in
the face of French opposition it nc - es-
Sary. Under his plan the decision of
the American commission would he put
squarely up to France with this ulti-
matum: “This is the -'.mount that Ger-
many can pay; you must either accept
it or else pay youf debt to the United
States without furtlicr dclav.”
.So far as economic justice is con-
cerned. that end might be served by
the Upham plan —if France would ac-
cept cither alternative. But although
the odds would be greatly against her
acceptance of either alternative this is
not the onlv circumstance by which to
test the advisability of intervening in
the reparations situation.
Such intervention might stultify the
L nited States. For this country has
been consistent thus far in its refusal
to become entangled in the affairs of
Europe and entanglement therein would
certainly result from Xmerica’s fixing
cm her own motion of the limit of rep-
arations collections which France must
not try to exceed. ’’bat result would
be produced even if the decision of the
American commission a to the extent of
Get many's reparations capacity were not
coupled with a threat designed to force
France to accept that body's findings.
.Ihe United States government has
made known to the world its willingness
to give the European the benefit of its
unbiased judgment on the reparations
question. Ihe sole condition required
for the doing of such a service has been
that the ally nations must invite this
country to appraise Germany's resources.
No invitation of that nature has been
forthcoming from France although
Great Britain has frequently expressed
her desire for an impartial inquiry.
If there was any question of repara-
tions as between Germany and the United
States this country could with perfect
consistency make an appraisement on
her own account. But the dispute is
not between Germany and the United
States; it is between Germany and
France and the United States could not
dictate to France in this or any other
distinctly European matter without pur-
suing a course which our government
has unmistakable declared it would scru-
TUESDAY.
pulously avoid. It was to avoid en-
tanglement in European affairs that we
refused to join the League of Nations.
If we were so averse to entanglement
through the medium of membership in
the League how could we justify our
aggressive participation in European af-
fairs in such an unceremonious way as
Mr. Upham advocates?
However irrespective of what Euro-
pean nations may do about reparations
in which this countrv has no proper di-
rect interest the United States would
be not only consistent but justified
as well in demanding a return of the
money which it loaned to France. How
or where France might get such money
would be no concern of ours. We
should have no more right to demand
that she raise it by collecting from Ger-
many a maximum of reparations dic-
tated by us than we should have to de-
mand that she raise it by taxing her
own citizens.
POSITIONS VS. JOBS
Duc to .high wages steady employ-
ment and scarcity of workers in many
of the manual trades thousands of
American boys just out of high school
are going in for that kind of employ-
ment. Carpenters bricklavers. masons
painters finishers paperhangers and
similar workers arc finding their ranks
recruited with a class of men that for-
merly sought only white collar positions.
A distinction used to be drawn be-
tween a position and a job. The fellow
who went inside had a position and the
fellow who went outside had a job. To-
day conditions are exactly reversed so
far as the pay envelope is concerned. The
“position” is the outside work.
It is one of the hopeful signs of mod-
ern times if the young American can be
induced tb work with his-hands and his
brains instead of just his brains. If the
young American can be successfully
steered away from the office and into
the shop much good will result. Owing
to the invention of adding machines au-
tomatic bookkeeping devices cash regis-
ters and other Office equipment employ-
ment for office workers has been cut al-
most in half. It requires no particular
skill to operate an adding machine. The
bookkeeper of fifty r ears ago was an ex-
pert. The bookkeeper of today not irf-
frcqucntly. can scarcely add a column of
figures. He does not have to add. He
is provided with a machine that docs
tiie work for him. All he docs is punch
the buttons.
'I he American boy who goes into man-
ual trades will accomplish two things.
He not only will make larger wages
which is of secondary importance but he
will improve his physical health and de-
rate the trades of this country which
are sadly in need of some such stimulat-
ing influences. Moreover he will in part
relieve the congestion in the large indus-
trial centers because he will remove com-
petition for a limited number of white
collar jobs.
Looking at the subject from a former
angle—the social side there is no rea-
son whatever to look down on the voting
man who chooses to work with his hands
in comparison with the office worker or
store clerk'. I'he manual worker has iust
as “polite"' a calling as the white collar
worker and he usually is many times
more useful. The time once was when
every boy was supposed to learn a trade
and any schooling over and above that he
ttoL usually was through his own efforts.
1 hat was the heyday of the American
worker too when the manual trades were
at their best when workers combined
brains with muscles and turned out a
class of work almost unknown to the
modern worker who is urged to speed
rather than quality.
There is a scarcity in of the manual
trades today of competent men. There
are many workers masquerading as
skilled workers who are incompetents.
They will be eliminated in time by com-
petent workers and so much the better
if native born American youths' till the
places. But aside from that angle of it
there is room in the manual trades for
many thousands of competent workers
to handle the ordinary and normal work
of the country from year to year. The
young graduate who goes into such work
will find a much better opening and fpr
more promising field than he will find
in the average office or store. Moreover
he will be improving his health helping
his ccuntry and elevating the particular
trade which he adopts.
OO ——
AN UNAPPRECIATED TRIBUTE
Finding among the League members
no sympathy for the aggressive spirit
which he has displayed in the Italian-
Greek situation. Premier Mussolini now
appeals to the “understanding” of the
United States. Surely this country he
suggests should appreciate Italy’s atti-
tude toward the League: surely be-
cause America was “the first to detect”
the danger in the League covenant which
is “tangibly demonstrated” in the present
situation.
As Ihe Light has many times re-
marked it seems next to impossible for
Europeans to understand the philosophy
which determines America’s attitude to-
ward other nations. It isn't surprising
that Mussolini thinks we ought to ap-
plaud Italy for her hastily assumed atti-
tude of disrespect toward the League
of Nations. We do not believe in the
League: our lack of faith in it was
clearly expressed by our refusal to join
it when European nations including
Italy thought that our refusal was a
sign of selfishness.
Xet though we did not join the
League and have no faith in its ability
to perform the principal function for
which it was avowedly created namely
the keeping of peace among the nations
of the earth nevertheless we cannot ap-
plaud Italy for going on a rampage and
defying the League in whatever attempt
it may make to stop her. We can onlj’
point out Italy’s defection in this crisis
as a “tangible demonstration” of the de-
fects which we detected in the League
plan for preserving or enforcing world
peace.
It would redound to Italy’s credit in
American eyes if Italy would merely
mark those defects now for future pur-
poses. But Italy has undertaken more
than that; in addition to recognizing
them for what they arc she has put her-
self in the position of using such recog-
nition to justify immediate repudiation
of her obligations—moral or legal or
both—as a member of the league.
If Europeans have no conception of
America’s philosophy in such matters
Americans cannot conceive of a situa-
tion in which their country would de-
liberately or even in a moment of red-
eyed passion go back on its plighted
word upon discovering that it had made
a mistake in commiting itself to an en-
terprise affecting the interests of other
nations.
To the defect which Mussolini says
America was the first to detect Italy
has added a more destructive one; or
rather her determination to be the sole
judge of her own obligations and ac-
tions in the face of her pledge to sub-
mit to the judgment of the League ex-
cmpFfies another defect which America
detected at the outset. The latter de-
fect however does not pertain to the
League covenant; it describes an all too
common trait of nations such as those
that were so quick to join the League.
Italy is by no means the first nation
to violate an agreement.
America refused to join the League
because she realized that the covenant
would bind her to do things in the flt-
turc which she might not then desire
to do; she that if she did join she
could not honorably and therefore
would not follow her desires if they
should become contrary to her plighted
word. And she refused to join because
she was extremely doubtful that- the
nations of Europe would be as faithful
to their agreements as she would be" to
hers.
Therefore although Mussolini's rec-
ognition of the defect first mentioned
is a tribute to America's power of dis-
cernment. and his defiance of the League
confirms the accuracy of America’s fore-
sight and both developments show the
wisdom of this country’s refusal to join
the League we cannot on such accounts
sympathize with a nation that had to
violate its plighted word to pay us these
compliments.
A Kansas sheriff took his prisoners to
the penitentiary in an airplane. We
thought the law forbade cruel and un-
usual forms of punishment.
Negroes are leaving the south and
migrating northward according to labor
statistics. Our bet is that the negro
will not remain very far away from the
land of the yellow yam and the water-
melon.
Russia has produced three million
poods of wheat according to a cable
dispatch. .We do not know how much
wheat there is in a pood but we trust
a pood is worth more than a Russian
ruble.
CORONATION
At the kins's sate the subtle noon
Wove filmy yellow nets of sun:
Into the drowsy snare too soon
The guards fell one by one.
Through the king's gate unquestioned then
A beggar went and laughed “This brings
Me chance at Inst to see if men
fare better being kings.”
The king sat bowed beneath his crown
Propping his face with listless hand.
Watching the hour-glass sifting down
Too slow its shining sand.
“Poor man. wliat wouldst thou have of me?
The beggar turned nnd. pitying.
Keplicd like one in drenin. “Of thee
Nothing. I want the king.
Up rose the king and from his head
Shook off the crown and threw it by.
“O man. thou must have known" he said
“A greater king than I.”
Through all the gates unquestioned then
Went king aud beggar hand in hand.
Whispered the king “Shall I know when
Before His throne I stand.
Tho beggar laughed. Free winds in haste
Were willing from the king s hot brow
The crimson lines the crown had traced.
“This is His presence now.
At the king's gate the crafty noon
Unwove its yellow nets of sun;
Jut of their sleep in terror soon
The guards waked one by one.
‘Ho hero! Ho. there!' Has no man seen
The king?” The cry ran to and fro;
Beggar and king they laughed. I ween
The laugh that free men know.
On the king’s gate the moss grew gray:
The king came not. They called him dead:
Ind made Uis eldest son one day
Slave in his father's stead.

Begin Hero Today.
Godfrey Cornet sends his son Ned.
on a voyage to Northern Canada and
Alaska to exchange two thousand sillo
and velvet gowns with the Indians for
fine furs. The profits are to be split
75-25 the lion's share to Ned.
Eight persons go on the voyage.
With Ned is his fiancee. Lenore
Hardenworth and her mother Mrs.
Hardenworth. Bess Gilbert goes as
seamstress. Captain Knutzen is as-
sisted by McNab and Forest. As
tiie weather grows colder mueh dis-
comfort is felt by the Hardenworth
women who have come unsuitably
clothed for a sea voyage.
Bess has plenty of warm clothing
to protect her from the eold. Mrs.
Hardenworth objects to eating at
the same table with the seamstress.
Bess avoids the three aristocrats. Now
go on with the story.
Tiie bottles were greeted with
shouts of delight. Ned went imme-
diately to the sideboard and pro-
cured half a dozen glasses.
“All hands partake tonight” he
explained. “It's going to be a real
party.”
He mixed whiskies-and-sodas for
Lenore and Mrs Hardenworth; then
started to make the rounds of the
crew with a bottle and glasses. He
did not. however waste time offering
any to Bess. The latter had already
evinced an innate fear of it. wholly
apart from sentimentality and non-
sense.
But Ned found plenty of customers
for his whiskey. McNab at the wheel
wished him happy days over two
fingers of straight liquor in the glass
and Knutsen his pale eyes gleaming
poured himself a staggering portion.
“Go ahead.” Ned encouraged him
when the seaman apologized for his
greediness. “The sky's the limit to-
night.” And Forest in the engine
room and Julius in the kitchen ao-
sorbed n man's size drink with right
good will.
Ned was able to make the rounds
again before the call for dinner; and
the attitude of his guests was
changed in but one instance. McNab
seemed to be measuring his liquor
with exceeding care. He was a mnn
who knew his limits and he ap-
parently did not intend to overstep
them. He took a small drink out
Knutsen his superior consumed as
big a portion ns before.
It was an elated spirited trio that
sat down at the little table in the
saloon. Not one of them could over
remember a happier mood. Julius
served the dinner with a flourish;
and they had only laughter when a
sudden lurch of the ernft slid the
sugar bowl off the table to the
floor. '
“Hello the ship's drunk too" Ned
commented gnily.
They were really in too glad a
mood _Jo sec anything but sport in
the suddenly rocking table. The
truth was that the wind had sudden-
ly sprung into a bri<k gale rolling
heavy heas and bobbing the little
craft about like a cork.
Ned made his way through the
gale that swept the deck and pro-
cured Lenore's and Mrs. Harden-
worth's heaviest coats. He noticed
as he passed that Bess had sought
refuge in the engine room. Ned
waved to her then returned to his
guests.
The room was already noticeably
colder not so much from the drop in
temperature—a thermometer would
have still registered above freezing—-
as from the chilling penetrating
quality of the wind that forced an
entrance as if through the ship's
senrns.
There was no opportunity to make
comment before Knutsen lurched
into the room. “It's tough isn't
it?” ho commented. "Mr. Cornet. I
wnnt another shot of dat stuff before
I take de wheel.”
Ned. not uninfluenced by his cups
extended the bottle with a roar of
laughter. “You know what’s good
for yon” he commented. “Where's
McNab? I.et him have one. too.”
“He’s still at de wheel but I don't
think he'd care for one. He's a funny
old wolf nt times. Mrs. Harden-

worth how do you like dis weat-er?"
“I don't like it very well.” She
held fast to the slipping table. “Of
course you'd tell us if there was any
danger—”
“Not a bit of danger. >Yust a
squall. Dis isn't rough—you ought
to see what it would be outside dis
chain of islands. But it's mighty
chilly.” He poured the stiff urtnk
down his great throat then buttoned
his coat tight.
Ned for a moment secretly ap-'
palled by the storm felt bis old reck-
lessness returning.
“There's only three or four shots
left in this bottle” he said holding
up the second of the two quarts he
had taken from the case. “You'd
better have one more with us before
you go. A man burns up lots of
whiskey without hurting him any on
n night like this. Then take the bot-
tle in with you to kep you warm at
the wheel."
Knutsen needed no second urging.
He was of a race that yields easily
to drink and he wanted to conquer
the last least little whisper of his
fear of the night and the storm. He
drank once more pocketed the bot-
tle then made his way to the pilot
house.
“You’re not going to try to ride
her through?” McNab asked as he
yielded the wheel.
“Of course. You're not-afraid of a
little flurry like dis.”
McNab stared into his glittering
eyes and for a moment his‘lips were
tightly compressed. “This isn't a
little flurry” he answered at last
coldly. “It's a young gale and God
knows what it v.ill be by morning.
You know and I know we shouldn't
attempt things here that we can do
with safety in waters we’re familiar
with. Right now we can run into
the lea of Ivnn Island and find a
harbor. There's a good one just south
of the point."
“We're not going to run into Ivan
Island. I want to feel dry land.
We're going to head on toward Tzar
Island.”
“You run a little more of that bot-
tle down your neck and you'll be
heading us into hell. Listen. Cap'n”
McNair paused deeply troubled. “You
let me take the wheel and you go in
nnd celebrate with the party. Y'ou
don't do nny damage then."
“And you get back to your engine
and mind your own business.” Little
angry points of light shot into Knut-
sen's eyes.
McNab turned to the door where
for a moment he stood listening to
the wild raging of the wind. Then
he climbed down into the engine
room.
There was nothing in his face a«
ho entered to reveal the paths of
his thought. Ho was wholly casual
wholly commonplace seemingly not
. in the least alarmed. He stepped to
’ Bess' side half smiling.
“I wonder if you can help me?”
ho asked.
The girl stood up. a straight ath-
letic figure at his side. “I'll try of
course."
“It depends—have you any in-
fluemo with young Cornet?"
Ross slowly shook her head. “I'm
afraid J can't help you” she told
him very gravely. “I have no in-
fluence with him at all. What is it
you wanted mo to do?"
“I wanted you to tell him to put
up the booze. Particularly to keep
tho captain from getting any more.”
“There's only one way." The girl's
lips were close to his car else he
Couldn't have hoard in the roar of
tho storm and the flapping of the
sails.
McNab looked at her as before
now he had looked at strong men
with whom he had stood the watch.
“What are you gettin’ at?”
His voice was gruff but if didn't
offend her. She felt that they were
oa common ground.
“You know ns well as I do. I
promised his father before' I left that
I'd look after Ned. He was in ear-
nest —and Ned needs looking after
now if he ever did. Mr. Cornet won't
blame me either. Show me how to
get down in the hold."
McNab suddenly chuckled and
patted her on the back with rough
familiarity yet with fervent com-
panionship. “You've got the stuff”
he said. “But you can't lift them
alone. I'm with you till the last
dog is hung." —
On the exposed deck the storm
met lite two adventurers with a yell.
For the first time Bess knew its full
fury as the wind buffeted her and
the sleet swept like fine shot into
her face. They clung to the railing
then fought their way to the hold.
Hidden by the darkness and the
sleet no one saw them carry up the
heavy liquor cases and drop them
into the sea. The noise of the storm
concealed the little sound they made.
Finally only two bottles remained
tho last of a broken ease.
“You. take one of those and ditch
it in your room." McNab advised.
“I'll keep the other. There might
eome a time when we'll find real
need for ’em—as a stimulant for
some one who t freezing.”
“Take care of both of them” Bess
urged. “I’m not sure I could keep
mine if nny one asked for it.”
“I don't know about that. I be-
lieve I’d bet on you. And now it's
done—forget about it.”
Soon they crept back along the
deck. McNab to his work Bess to
her stateroom.
They had all but encountered Ned
on his way to the hold. His bottles
were empty and the desire for strong
drink had not left him yet. In the
darkness under the deck he groped
blindly for his cases.
They seemed to evade him. Breath-
ing hard he sought a match scratch-
ing it against t' c wall. Then he
stared in dumb nnd incredulous
His stock of liquor was gone. Not
even the cases were left. Thinking
that perhaps some shift in the posi-
tion of the stores had concealed
them Jie made a moment's frantic
search through the hold. Then rag-
ing like a child and in imminent dan-
ger of slipping on Ihe perilous deek
he rushed to the pilot house.
“Captain do you know what be-
came of my liquors?” lie demanded.
“I can’t find them in the hold.”
“Of course I don't know anything
about ’em—but I’ll help you investi-
gate in the morning.” Knutsen an-
swered. “I’m very sorry Mr. Cor-
net—that it should happen aboard
my ship—”
“To hell with your ship! I'm go-
ing to investigate tonight.”
Ned started out but he halted in
the doorway arrested by a sudden
suspicion. Presently he whirled and
made his way to Boss’ stateroom.
He knocked sharply on the door.
Boss opened it wide. Then for a
long second he stared into her deep-
blue. appealing eyes.

A few days ago Single G paced
and won three beats in a race it
Columbus with time close to twe
minutes. For eleven years this ani-
mal has been racing each season
has taken part in 116 contests and
has won 76 of them and only twice
failed to •get some part of the stake
money. Single G is thirteen years
old began racing when two has been
at it ever since and still wins large
purses in contests with horses of
unquestioned spe 1.
One may have little or no pcrsonid
interest in horseracing as a sport or
business and still be a sincere ad-
mirer of the splendid animals the
track has produced. Eleven years is
a goodly record for a world famous
pacer a period of great stress and
wear enough to make a horse rela-
tively old yet Single G continues to
be among the winners and with
records entirely to tho satisfaction
of his owner and the delight of the
race followers. The world will con-
tinue to love horses for there is no
more noble or serviceable animal;
there will be many to love speed no
matter to what figure tiie record
may be lowered and men even men
who never are seen about the tracks
will continue to applaud the wonder-
ful performances of these splendid
animals as they make their contribu-
tion to the history of the track.—

LEAN YOUTrt AND A LONG LIFE
People who arc under weight until
they are thirty the doctors are tell-
ing us now have more than a fair
assurance of long life and are. there-
fore supposedly the objects of felicita-
tion and mueh envy.
The doctors do not explain how-
ever iust why this prospect of long
life is a thing so greatly to be de-
sired. Years that arc merely long
have a way of bringing all sorts of
things that nobody wants. There is
always the chance of their being sor-
rowful. or unhappy or tragic or even
drab and dull and wearying. The
shorter the years the better wo say
unless there is something in them.
A full life is tiie sort to have if
only the thing that fills it be worth
having. For those who arc pious oniv
year enough for tho uplifted heart
mid the good deed: for the wick-'!
time it may be to repent: for the so-
ciable. many meetings: for the staid
and sober a safe abode: for the
dreamer more dreams for the dawd-
ler (happiest of all) we ask the right
to moon and potter about with no
timekeeper to mark up the wane It
hours: for none of these —for nobody
—mere length of years.—Nashviile

A DOG'S RIGHT TO DARK
A LITTLE.
Wo like the decision of a police
court in the nation's capital that “a
dog can bark how! and whine to a
reasonable extent without being rated
as a nuisance.” A dog has a right to
express himself. People who don't lik*
it should put themselves under a
physician's care and people mca.i
enough to poison a dog because it
makes a little noises deserve the at-
tention of the police.
The barks howls and whines of a
dog are noises of nature and all noises
of nature are to be welcomed. All other
noises if unnecessary. should be
warrod upon. We are against flat ear
wheels squeaking breaks blatant mo-
tor horns an 1 whistling peanut roast-
ers. We arc for thunder patterin;
rnin. gossiping water wind in the
trees bird song cricket song boy
song the whoop of the Zoo peacoes
and all honest dog-yelps.
These tilings we take it. arc part
of the majestic harmony of creation.
