When the Dollar Talks THE dollar is the hardest-bbiled thing in the world. It is utterly lacking in sentiment. Andrew "W. Mellon, Secretaiy of the Treasury, is a perfectly loyal member of the President’s official family, but he is also chairman of the Federal Reserve Board. Asa member of the Cabinet he, no doubt, is in perfect accord—politically speaking —with the Administration’s “splendid isolation,” and “let's let Europe alone” policy, bnt when he begins to talk dollars it’s different Now, the Federal Reserve Board’s bulletin for September, talking money—and therefore laying sentiment aside—declares “business development” and “business stability” “unavoidably” tied up witft conditions in Europe. Thus bluntly does the board apply the acid test of the dollarmark to the Administration’s old stand-by, “What-Happem-in Europe-Is of-No-Concem-to-Us.” But to continue. What about that $11,000,000,000 Europe owes this country? “It must be paid—every cent of it!” Congress, importantly. “International debts,” says the Bulletin, “can be paid only through the shipment of gold or other commodities,” adding, “Europe faces the impossibility of debt payment without a genuine revival of European trade.” Just about this time Congress was putting the finishing touches on its record high tariff, the tariff specifically designed with the avowed purpose of keeping down foreign trade by imposing a prohibitive tariff. Europe then, virtually without gold, must pay in “other commodities,” these “commodities” being promptly barred by Congress. Europe can not possibly pay her debts “without a genuine revival of Eilbopean foreign trade,” says the board. Yet Congress deliberately uses its blackjack on that trade. It is a remarkable situation even in this day of paradoxes. Decidedly the team is not pulling together. Truth is, of course, that Congress says and does whatever it thinks it can get away with. The board talks with dollars, and dollars with facts. Congress deals largely with bunk. Dollars deal with things as they are. Imagined Partitions ONCE upon a time/a naturalist put a big bass in a tank of water. And placed jpme minnows in the same tank, separated from the bass by a plate glass partition. „ Every time a minnow would swim over toward the partition the bass would strike and bump his face against the glass. After repeated futile attempts to capture a minnow the bass quit striking and made the best of it by contenting himself with the food that was dropped into the water. Then the naturalist removed the glass partition and the bass and minnows swam about together. The bass had quit molesting j the minnows, although they were within his reach. 'This tale may contain a moral for Indianapolis business and industrial concerns. Maybe some of these have been making the best of the business that has been coming in. Maybe if they would make a strike for it they would find the partition has been removed. Real Protection to Labor IT was long ago pointed out that what brings wages down is the competition of laborers, when labor is denied free access to land. The labor unions are generally winning their demands for higher wages, or their resistance to reductions. Why? Not because of any tariff, though the great cry of the high protectionists is “protection to American labor.” Every sensible man knows that the highly protected industry hires its laborers as cheaply as it can; and the cold-blooded question it has usually asked itself has been, and is, “What can we get them for?” when it comes to hiring people. > The thing which is winning better wages for labor in the L’nited States today is, more than anything else, the law which keeps out the flood of foreigners from the pauperized nations of the world—and most of them are pauperized. They ought to be kept out regardless of wages. This flood of immigrants which waits to rush in whenever Congress lets down the bars is composed of people who do not make good Americans. They do not harmonize with the older stocks of which our people are made up. If allowed to rush in they will destroy our Republic. The most precious interests of society require that they be kept out. But the- labor-exploiters want them let in. Says the reactionary New York Journal of Commerce: “Os course, whether labor is scarce or abundant, a good many of the demands of the unions are unattainable in the nature of things, but the point is, that as long as immigration is rendered impotent as a check upon the grasping labor leaders the unions will have it in their power to plague us with their destructive efforts to attain the impossible. * # # In these circumstances, the action of Congress in virtually excluding foreign workmen stands out prominently in its , unwisdom.” The drive has begun to let in the flood of unassimilable foreigners. Citizens interested in keeping the people of this country from further debasement and adulteration from evil admixtures must make their choice as to whether they will stand for the employer looking for cheap men as against the men we havfc, or for the ideal of an uncontaminated citizenship. For disgraceful as it assuredly is, when the pocket calls for the offscourings of the world there will be men in both branches of Congress who will obey the call. i

Letters to the Editor

MOTORIST Implores Lack of Safety in Cross mi? Street Intersections. To the Editor of The Timet Thomas E. Ash, from the pedestrians standpoint, has practically taken the words out of my mouth as an autoist when he speaks of the automatic young? dummies posted at street intersections, who seem to possess no brains above the arm-pits. On the evening of- Thursday the fourteenth, I was driving north in Pennsylvania Bt., and on "reaching the intersection of Ohio the officer stationed on the comer waved me to . ome ahead without realizing the danger to pedestrians, and also what might have caused an -accident to a

machine directly ahead of me which was forced to stop suddenly due to a truck being stalled on the west side of the K. of P. building. I was "watching my step” and for so doing I was told that I drove like I was handling a hearse. I believe that while Its a good idea to speed up traffic as much as possible men should be employed who can display proper judgment and not make of themselves automatons just because they wear the blue uniform. If an officer is needed at Sixteenth and Capitol Ave. to take care of traffic, why isn’t one placed at Meridian and South Sts. I drive past there daily and I wonder sometimes if I will get by alive.

POLAND PACES MQUESTIONS IN READJUSTING % Battling Courageously to Solve Difficulties Blocking Way to New Era. FACTIONS DIVIDE NATION Jew-Christian Antipathy Worst of Critical Situations Country Has to Face. CRACOW, Sept. 19.—Poland is a country of problems. From the impress laid upon it by foreign powers in the past, from the peculiar manner in which it drifts imperceptibly Into other and different nations, from the presence within its own frontiers of elements which do not in any way harmonize, it is faced with a series of difficulties which are among the main factors retarding its fuller and more permanent development. Some of these difficulties the Poles themselves are striving to eradicate. battling hard and courageously to settle the problems in a manner that may be most satisfactory to the majority, but others, one facnies, are being accentuated and rendered more dangerous by the attitude takes toward them by the mass of the nation as a whole, or by separate parties in politics, or by divers bodies of Poles living in various portions of the country. Acnte Racial Problem Among these many difficulties that of the Jews undoubtedly comes first. No country has within its bound so many Jews, and In no country ire the Jews so separated from the Christian population as in Poland. To wander in the Ghetto at Warsaw and watch the long-bearded figures with their black gabardines and small skull caps is to transport oneself from the modem world to a world that Shakespeare knew or imagined when he wrote "The Merchant of Venice.” The hatred of the Christian for the Jew and the Jew for the Christian are two of the most marked elements in Warsaw life. Little more than two weeks ago the writer witnessed a great demonstration in favor of Korfanty. There were two cries that predominated--“Long live Korfanty!” and "Down with the Jews’” When Korfanty was defeated in the sejm. the Conservative newspapers were full of reviling; that defeat they unanimously attributed to the votes of the Jewish members. In spite of the fact that there are So cialist Jews and Conservative Jews, the racial or religious problem cuts straight across the political, confusing every issue, making more and more difficult the solution of almost every problem.

Engineers' Brotherhood Plans 21-Story Bank for Cleveland

By SEA Service CLEVELAND, Ohio. Sept. 19.—The; Rrotherhood of Locomotive Engineers has announced the completion of plans for the erection of a twenty one story banking building here, to contain the main office of the largest co- 1 operative banking institution in the country. At the same time word comes from Washington that United States Controller of the Currency D. R. Crissinger has authorized the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers' Coopetative National Bank to establish bank offices in the heart of the city, as well as in the populous East End, near the railroad shops and manufacturing industries. In Heart of City The Engineers’ Brotherhood recently purchased the Union Commerce National Bank building, on Euclid Ave., in the heart of the city, and it Was reported that this building would become the permanent home for the big cooperative bank. Now the big financial and reality developments just made public show that the sixteenstory banking building was acquired merely to house one of several important offices of the bank. Officials of the bank have further disclosed plans for the erection of a new building in the Nottingham district to house the office in that section. Work Begins Soon The new twenty-one-story main building, work on which will be started shortly, will Occupy the corner across the street from the fourteenstory building built by the brotherhood in 1908 as its national headquarters. The most modem and efficient banklng equipment will be installed in the

The risk of a deformed limb is reduced thus to a minimum. Again, by means of the X-ray, the process of digestion can be followed from the time the food is swallowed until it reaches the intestines. Sometimes it reveals conditions in the stomach which cause dyspepsia, not only making its cure possible, but also permitting prevention of more serious ills that might follow. Until the X-ray came into use such diseases as ulceration and cancers sometimes eixsted unknown to patient or physician until it became too late to cure them. Now the doctor can locate an ulcer or-c'ttncer in the stomach, however small, and it can be removed. Even the smallest contractions of the heart can be studied under the X-ray. The pulse has been found to be very Inaccurate as an indication of the heart-beat. It may register only sixty beats a minute, while theheart may be wearing itself out beating as often as 150 times every sixty seconds.

Th® Alcohol Twins—Ethyl and Methyl By BERV&N B RALEY ETHYL is a charmer who makes your blood run wanner, She's quite intoxicating in her spiritual way; To<v much of her society means constant inebriety. At times she makes you happy—but you pay for it next day. Ethyl is perfidious, although her work's insidious; She doesn’t wreck you quickly, but she gets you just the same. She vamps you very slowly, but in time she owns you wholly, Arid she leads you down to poverty and beastliness and shame. METHYL is a villain who's out to “make a killin’,” He’s nothing less than poison of the very rankest kind; You cannot toy with Methyl, for his slightest little breath’ll Upset your inner workin's and quite often make you blind. Besides, it’s true that Methyl so much resembles Ethyl That only to pharmacist is any diff’rence known, And either one may frolic in a potion alcoholic.

has existed In that part of the world ever since the armistice. The armistice with Turkey, the American public has doubtless forgotten, was designed on the basis of the twelfth point of President Wilson’s famous fourteen, which provided for the fullest integrity of the Turkish state to the extent that it was Turkish and postulated full autonomy for the non-Turkish provinces of the Ottoman empire. V Refers to Treaty ” The armistice made on this explicit understanding ended in the treaty of Sevres, than which no more rapacious, unjust and even unwise treaty of “peace" has ever been contrived in history.

Sutherland, Newly Chosen U. S. Justice, Looks With Pride on Early Endeavors

By SEA Service PROVO. Utah. Sept. 19.—0n0 Sunday morning, in July, 1872, a 10-year-old boy named* George Sutherland, joined his smaller brothers in a trip to the “old swiiumin’ hole,” in Spring Crook, a mile from the Sutherland home In Springville, a little town near here. The boys had been cleaned up for Sunday school. But they took a plunge instead. On their return home, later, they met a younger sister. Fannie. And it was then that George Sutherland won his case. Sister Fannie acted as judge, jury and prosecuting witness, and after listening to the touching plea put up by George for himself and his brothers, site returned a verdict stipulatifig that Mother Sutherland was never to hear of the swimming affair. This same George Sutherland has recently been appointed associate justice of the United States Supreme Court, to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of John N. Clarke, es fectlve Sept. 18. Proud of George All of the participants of this little episode, except George, live in Provo. And. say Henry, James and Fred Sutherland: “We certainly are proud of the achievements of our brother. George. He deserves the honor bestowed upon him by President Harding.” The Sutherland family came to Springville from Buckinghamshire, England, when George, the oldyft child of the family, was about a year and a half old. After finishing the grade schools. George, at the age of 12, went to Sait Lake City and worked as a clerk In a clothing store. In the meantime the family had moved to Silver City, where the father was postmaster and recorder. George soon returned home and Induced a telegraph operator in Silver City to teach him arithmetic ann other studies. At the age of 17 he entered the Brigham Young Academy, now University of Provo. There he worked his way through school by keeping books for several grocery stores. Former Candidate Some time later. Sutherland’s father, who had been studying law in his leisure time, moved his family %C Provo, where ho opened u law office. He encouraged George to study luw. When Sutherland was 25 years old he ran for mayor of Provo At that time the tickets in the field were the Liberal an’d the Peoples, and George headed the former. He was defeated by a small margin. Shortly afterward ho moved to Salt Lake City, where he opened v an office which he lias maintained in the intervals of his public career Since that time he haa ben continually before the public both in the State and nationally, as a lawyer and a lawmaker in the State Legislature and In the United States Senate.

ALLIED PROBLEM DUES ON TRADE BALAipOAD, Federal Reserve Board Points to Necessity of Reviving Exchanges. UPSET POLITICAL THEORt Statements Blast Assertions That Latest TariffJWili Be Remedial. By LEO R. SACK WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.—Congressional political tariff tinkers have just got a jolt from the Federal reserve board which has startled official Washington. Coincident with consideration of the final draft of the trade-killing tariff bill in Congress, the Federal reserve board issued a statement pointing out the “impossibility of foreign debt payment without a genuine revival of European foreign trade.” Not only does the Federal reserve board, bulkwark of the United States financial system, upset all the pet theories of Congressmen and Senators, bent on anew tariff calculated to shut out foreign goods—that is kill foreign trade —but it proceeds to confirm the observations of James M. Cox, Vanderiip and others who America can not isolate herself and prosper. Issues Enumerated In it’s September bulletin, reviewing economic conditions at home and abroad, the reserve board declares: “Developments during the past month, not only in Europe itself but In the trade between Europe and the United States, have again made it evident that problems relating to the inter-allied debts and to the claims of allies against Germany on reparations account must be regarded as | among the issues which unavoidably i affect current business development and a solution of which is necessary to business stability.” Continuing, the board says: “The entire question of reparations and interallied debts involves the foreign exchanges, international trade, and security movements. “International debts, in the last j analysis, can be paid only through the shipment of gold or other commodities; it is therefore necessary to summarize the foreign-trade situation as it affects both the United States and the principal countries of Europe, which are the countries most concerned in present discussions of international debts. Balances Absent t "Os the four chief European countries (Great Britain, France, Italy, and j Germany), none has had a favorable i balance of trade In the first six month.-* :of 1922. During these same montl* ! the United States, which already waiP ; Europe’s chief creditor, shipped to Europe, over and above the amount of imports received in return, an excess of exports valued at $550,000,000. “It is true that payment for a con- ; siderable part of these shipments from ! the United States has been facilitated by the foreign loans which have been floated in this country' in unusually large volume since the beginning of the present Such loans, how ever, can not do more than alleviate the situation for the time being, since they merely defer the final settlement of debts. “These facts emphasise the difficulties which face Europe today and the impossibility* of debt payment without a genuine revival of European foreign trade.”
