"the valor and tfce patriotism of the soldiers and eailors of America who fought In the great war for human liberty, and wo pledge ourselves to discharge to the fullest the obligations which a grateful nation Justly should fultlll, in appreciation of the service jtndcred by its defenders on eca and on land. "Republiofuis are not ungraceful. Throughout! their history they have shown their gratitude- toward the nation's defenders. Liberal legislation for the care of the disabled and infirm and their dependents has ever marked republican ptflicy toward the soldier and sailor of all the wars in which our country has participated. Let us see how well that pledge has been di?cnargad. For isoldier relipf there had been appropriated for expenditure up to June 30, 1321, $1,274,521,893 Including $250,000,000 toward a soldiers' bonus. -Appropriations have been made for-the fiscal year ending June GO. 1922, and are now being made for the year ending June 30, 1923. The total estimated expenditures for soldier relief for the two years is as lollows: 1922, $ 44 2.87S.7 4 4 ; 1323, $456,024,979. In other words, there ha3 been appropriated by the federal government fcr the relief of soldiers of the world war about S2, 173, 000, 000. In addition, congress has enacted a number of laws graJitlng special privileges on reclamation projects and under mining laws, exemption from civil service rules, free transportation under certain conditions, and other forms of epecial relief that it is impossible to measure in money. Under the policies already established, tha national government, for many years to come, will spend annually hundreds of millions of dollars for hospitalization compensation, vocational training and other forms of relief for its veterans. Many states have passed epecial relief measures of their own, including the grant of cash bonuses, that have materially added to what congress has done. The republicans of the country haves been as generous in providing for the veteran soldiers as they were in voting ample sums for the proescution of the ar. No ether participant in the war spent money so lavishly in 1 pining ard equininjr its troops and

supporting them la the field. No other country has czcedeed the United States in its generosity 'toward its returned soldiers. Expenditures for their welfare wtre too long delayed by an incompetent administration then in power. Preparation tor the reception of the wounded, for their rehabilitation and for assistance to the healthy veteran in finding him work upou his dlschage should have been made long before the hoinecomng of the troops. That was not done and it was not until the democratic administration felt the stimulus of a republican congress that effective steps were even begun to discharge that duty. Since last March a republican executive and a republican congress have worked together for the wel-

jl'are of the ex-sold lers. The record of legislation and of appropriations attests how well the work has leen

done.

THE OMENTAL WAY. One of the chief characteristics of Oriental peoples, especially the Japanese and Chinese, is their sensitive dignity. It is always sticking out like a tore thumb. If you shake hands wth theru metaphorically you must be careful not to hurt it- This trait, long known to diplomats and others who have been associated with orientals, was evidenced at the outset of the Washington conference for the limitation of armaments and the discussio nof far eastern uestions. The members of the Japanese delegation must have been sufficiently astute to perceive the moment

1 Secretary Hughes made his surprising proposal that there was only one thing to do and that was to accept it. Great Britain, France and Italy were prcmptI ly acquiescent at the second plenary conference. The iJapanesa delegates conformed to the national practice ! known as" "saving one's face" and wore less definite. They were particularly fearful of presenting the apj pearnnca of being forced into action, but socn came j to agreeing to the proposal in its essentials, j In the cute of the other questions raised at the I Washington conference, Shantung, Siberia and the ! rest, Japan has exhibited a similar reluctance to do business in the plain, straightforward, occidental manner, but in the end has conceded practically all that jwas asksd. It is necessary to recognize that her ways aro not our ways and that she is not to he regarded as shifty or cunning simply because she pursues the indirect course and refuses to be hustled along at an unaccustomed pace. Fcr instance, Japan has now promised to remove her trcops foni Siberia "in the near future." Some impatience has been expressed . because no exact date has been fixed, j Japan would regard such a procedure as in the nature of au ultimatum. Again, she wants to "save her face" and while getting out cf Siberia, getting out 1 when she is "good and ready." But high American officials say this" doesn't spell defiance, but the re

verse. There are even Occidentals who have been known to pursue such a course, who have determined to do the right thing, but don't want It to lcok a3 if they wera yielding to pressure. After all, the main thing is to get something done, not the manner of its doing. Japan has given her pledged word to the powers at "Washington and they believe she is going to keep it. We can' 'safely trust that opinion.

Lowell. LncL. R. T. IX 2, Feb. 4. 1923 Jvdltor "Times" Lcar sir: la there any good reason why L-1K0 cuuuty ehould not ask for eonsiUeration, (on tho Bide, If you please), lu the matter of a National Waterway from Lake Michigan to the Uuir of llexico? Instead af taxlns our citizens many millions of dollars to help enlarge tha St Lawrence river and IriJld other costly canals iu Canada, under th control of Canada or England, why not ask

our g-overn.nent to add whatever may be needed, to the twenty millions already appropriated by Illinois, and maka a tirst-ciaBS canal from Lake Michigan to tho Gulf of Mexico? This would be entirely In and under control of U. S. Government, with no possibl edanger that any dispute could come, regarding Its control iu future. Better that that, too, is the certainiy that such a canal would give water transportation free from Ice. for three to Eix weeks earlier in the sprlTig, and for four to eight weeks later In the iail. This would mai a difference in lreight cost on heavy merchandise. Water-power is mentioned In the St. Lawrence river project. That could also be made a large item !n the u.se of a canal from Lake Michigan to the Gulf. The mileage to Salt uater would be less and no doubt would cost many millions less than the St. Lawrence route. The time may come when both of these routes will be needed to carry at a much cheaper freight rate, the immense increase of products our "Great Northwest," but before that time conie, wo may be reasonably sure that the United States and Canada will be under one government. Is ft too visionary, to think it posible for Chicago and its southern suburbs, to work with our Lake County Cities for such a canal, as has been urged for years, to be constructed from Lake Michigan, to and through Wolf Lake and thence westwardly Into the drainage canal, to be enlarged? Many things more difficult than that have been done and others are mg planned for. Urge Uncle Sara to ins'st on the repayment of the loans made to European Countries, as soon as reasonably possible ,and use such funds to provide wffrk, at good wages, to those now Idle, Instead cf "passing the hat" so often, to support them without workThere are needed, many hundreds cf miles of better roads that might be built by our Uncle Sam, where our taxpayers cannot now afford the additional "ost. If our Uncle docs not care to do these things for us, he might scoop out a few large reservoirs near tho upper crunches of our large rivers and build dims to'cortrol tho flood-waters that now do so much damage.
