THE HOPE OF THE WORLD. A meeting of heads of organizations for child -welfare has Just been held In this country, with not only a wide representation from the states but also delegates from Belgium, England and France. Many phases of -work for the benefit of the coming generations were discussed, and as a sort of basis from which to proceed to detailed work, the congress agreed upon the standards set by the Children's Bureau at "Washington: "Every child should hare normal home life, an opportunity for education, recreation, vocational preparation for life and for moral and spiritual development in harmony with American Ideals, and the educational and spiritual agencies by -which these rights of the child are normally safeguarded. "A6ide from the general fundamental duty of the state toward children in normal social conditions, ultimate responsibility for children who, on account of Improper home conditions, physical handicap or delinquency are In need of special care, devolves upon the state." The -word "American" may not be included by the other countries represented .but as a "confession of faith for those beliering in the care of childhood it covers the ground pretty thoroughly. It Is noticeable that the first essential mentioned in the articles quoted is that every child should have a normal home life, and that the state should only separate parents and children when it is manifestly for the best good of the child. This should quiet the fears of those who are prone to regard all welfare workers as interfering busy-bodies whose 60le mission in life is to disrupt families. An interest in the welfare of its children augurs well for any state or nation. The children of the world are the hope of the world, and their care its best insurance for the future. OIL FOUND IN ENGLAND. A high grade of oil has been found by well drillers In England. This is the first time that mineral oil has been discovered in England either of quantity or quality sufficiently good to be worth considering as a real addition to the oil supply of the world. This news is especially interesting since it is not so very long ago that American scientific men announced that the end of the world Supply of oil was in sight, and that unless some other discovery or invention appeared to take its place this old planet was 'going to be in a bad way before long for something to light, heat and grease with. The discovery of oil in ancient England Is good evidence that man has never gone very far in his exploitation of the resources of Nature In fact, it' is true in pretty much the whole world that the surface is only scratched as yet. and all the worriers and the pessimists

and the selfish scramblers who are hurrying and fretting for fear there is not enough of everj thing -to go around had better take another look at old Mother Earth's cupboard. ,

PLAIN COOKING AND COMMON SENSE. Foreign dishes are to disappear from the menus of American hotel restaurants. It has been decreed by the International Stewards Association that we shall go back to a vogue of American dinners, which would mean, in effect, a return to a rule of common sense. In this there, is strong hope for salvation for Uncle Sam's stomach, for it has been sorely tried In recent years by frantic effort to digest the indigestible of all the world. The popularity of so-called foreign foods, many of them of little nutritive value and some positively harmful, has been one of the confusions of the American appetite. But, generally speaking, it may be said that we did not

I eat these Impossibles because we liked them, but because j it was supposed they were fashionable and because the J high hand of the chef had decreed they should rule. An j t-xcess of seasoning covers a multitude of unmention- ! ables.

But before going into ecstacy over the proposed return to reason, the patron of public eating places will await the "American" menus that are provided for him. Just great atrocities can be committed with our native dishes as with any other, but if the stewards are seeking popularity they will see that our friend chicken, beefsteak, hickory cured ham, lima beans and applie pie are served unadulterated, simon pure, without camouflage. What we need is simplicity in eating. We will live longer, work better, laugh more heartily, if we ear. simple foods. And all truly American foods answer this description. If the stew-ards are in any doubt, just let them take a page from the cookbook of the American housewife. She knows.

FINANCING FOREIGN TRADE.

A great deal has been said and written during the

past few months concerning the necessity for co-operation on the part of the American public for the purpose of financing our foreign trade, but without any organized effort in the way of furnishing credits the country in June, the last officially reported month, sold $200,000,00?

more merchandise to foreign consumers than ever before in a single month of record. While it is true that the seller must do his part in furnishing credits, it is likewise true that obligations rest "upon the buyer. From the latest 'reports Belgium seems to have made most progress In a comprehensive plan for handling import business. The manufacturers of that country in need of raw and semi-finished materials which are produced in the United States have organized co-operative purchasing bureaus, with the assistance of the Belgian Ministry of Reconstruction, and these associations are divided into eighteen groups, which in turn are federated under the

central Industrial Committee of Belgium. The object is to poo! purchases abroad and to distribute Imported materials to the members of the respective groups proportioned to their needs. The plan bhould simplify selling a3 well as buying, inasmuch as it would be easier for American exporters to investigate and deal with a bureau representing a particular industry than to deal with individual manufacturers. Various plans have been under consideration in this country for financing the credits which It will be necessary for our producers to extend to foreign consumers. It would be manfestly impossible for any sav ethe strongest financial corporations to comman dthe capital necessary to produce and ship commodities which must be sold on long time. The plan which has received most favor Is for the organization of a central body, representative of the banking and industrial Interests of the .countr.i. which shall be a sort of holding company for the evidences of debt given by foreign buyers, and which in turn shall issue its own securities for subscription by the general public. If this plan is worked out and adopted it will accomplish two things: the examination and

approval of credits would be in the hands of International experts, and the liability through investment in securities would be so widely distributed as to cause the minimum adverse effect in the evfet of occasional defaults in final settlements. In the meantime, however, the heavier burden is on the foreign consumer.
