The Kahn Debt Cancellation Proposal The proposal of Otto II. Kahn succinctly stated amounts to this: Reduce the interest rates on the $ 11,525,00,000, which 19 European nations owes" us, and make half century extei sions of the payment "periods. : With thb accomplished, the New York

banker believes tfce7 .European nations would be

able to forge -bb$ad- on a- new economic basis

that: would restore tranquility and happiness.

While this plan would be a decided advantage

to ihe nations who owe us money, it would mean a new hardiship f on the thousands of our citizens

whd stiiitecl -and saved to buy government securities during ..Che war. Mr. Kahn and other bank? ers who are- pressing debt cancellation are very

anxiou'stQfJcomvince us that justice demands that vyeancd all or part of the debt and that it wouldv redound to Our welfare if we did so. But

they axe overlooking entirely our own interest

in their "proposals...

For every' dollar of debt the European gov

ernment owe" us they received munitions and supplies" in tum. The American people did not rob them, .but gave them materials in return.

The European governments got value received

for every expenditure made here and for which we bought Liberty bonds so that they could pay

their bills. These Liberty bonds, which we

bought so that the foreign governments might

have money with which to prosecute the war

must be paid by some one. To assert that we must pay for them out of our own pockets, is

making a demand that strikes most of us as being unreasonable. .

Especially does this hold true if one considers

that few of the European governments who were benefitted by our participation in the war have made a conscientious effort to put their houses

into order. While we are trying to impress upon the world the folly of "secret diplomacy", and of encouraging long standing animosities, and are

insisting that justice and fair play lead to per

manent peace and prosperity in a course that

keeps the continent in fear and, apprehension of

another war. " ,

The American is not hard of heartland

dulled in conscience. Our munificent gifts for

the relief of suffering in all the war torn coun

tries, whether they were our friends or enemies, successfully contradict the charge that we are trying to collect our debts in a vindictive spirit

and with malice aforethought; We have been overly kind to the European people; in fact our munificence has been so great that many "of our benefactors have concluded that it is our bounden duty to help them. Despite the constant efforts which are on

foot to convince us of the wisdom of cancelling part or all of the European debt, the American people are adhearing to their determination that the debts should be paid.

TWO LANTERNS DISPLAY FRIENDSHIP By George Matthew Adams

My friend "Bill" came to see me the other day and he brought with him two lanterns. Two arched gates lead into the garden of my home grounds. One day I remarked to my friend that I was going to hang two lanterns under the arches of these gates. "Let me make them!'' said Bill. "Fine, T . replied, enthused over having the personal handicraft of so fine an artist as Bill to add beauty to that of the other artisans. And such lanterns as they are! For three months he has worked to complete them. Wrought by hand thruout, from heavy pieces of bronze so hammered and wonderfully conceived in design that I lost all ability to adequately express ray appreciation of their beauty when I first set my eyes upon them. They are the most beautiful lanterns I have ever seen. Each one contains 152 separate pieces all made by hand! But more wonderful than the lanterns themselves was Bill's happiness in making and presenting them to me. If there ever were two things made for the pure pleasure and love of their making, it was these two lanterns. Bill told me so. And there isn't enough money in this world to buy .hem from me. Because they were made of love. And there is no more precious material than this. Every time I look at them, as they shine out their soft tints of gold and blue, green and red, I shall say that love is that way priceless and warm. - vVhich brings me to the most important reflection that can be taken up by ".you or me that love is a thing to keep giving away. Everybody is hungry for it all the time. And the only way you can get it is to give it away in the first place. ' I like that sentence from the Bible that reads: "For God so LOVED the world that He GAVE."

in 1891 by the Russian Imperial police for belonging to a secret Polish or

In 1905 he was permitted to return to Poland, where he organized the Consumers' Co-operative association of more than 600 branches.. ' During the war he was strongly pjo ally in activity as well as in public utterances and although he was a member of the Piast party of the Liberal Farmers' group, he was appointed min

signed the premiership, Wojiechowski was for a time acting prime Minister. In the Skulski cabinet he was again minister of the interior. - After the -resignation of the Skulski cabinet in ,1920 he became .chairman of the government committee on budget economy. Last month Wojciechow

Greeks Forget Classic Dances Have No Desire to imitate Dances Used By Their Forbears Many Centuries Ago.'

By FREDERICK J. IIASKIX WASHINGTON, D. C, Nov. 30.

Not long ago a program of various types of classic Greek art was being planned in one of our cities, and local

Greek talent was hunted out to play the parts. Greeks who could perform in dramatic and musical numbers were not hard to find. But then came the question of dancing. There was to be a dance given in the classic manner by real Greek maidens, who ynight be the direct descendants of the bacchantes and ceremonial dancers of old Athens, and the

producers set out ingenuously to collect the Greek dancers of the city. They returned steeped in gloom. There were no Greek maidens who could do the ancient dances. So the Greek dance had to be left to young Americans witht names reminiscent of ancestors from England, Wales, France, Denmark and Germany. This incident has attracted attention to the fact that the recent enthusiasm for Greek dancing has scarcely touched Greece. The classic manner of dancing has been adopted of late years by dancers of America and almost every country of Europe. But no outstanding exponents of the art have come from the original home of the classic dance. A Greek was asked why the girls of his country have not been swept

Rippling Rhymes By WALT MASON

THE TALKING DEALER I went to Higg, the hatter, to buy a

Sunday lid; he bored me with his chatter, as merchants seldom did. He talked about the weather, about the crop of rye, and roundly masked me whether I voted wet or dry. He talked about the kaiser who now in exile dwells, and thought he'd have been wiser to cut out wedding bells. He talked about the graces of females he could name, and spoke about the races which are Tiajuana's ,game. I said, "Oh, Higg the hatter, you send a pain through me, for your remarks are flatter than any spiel should be. I've walked through weary valleys, down roads where autos skid, through dusty streets and alleys, to buy myself a lid. I toiled along the highway, and

up the woodland aisle, and through the reeking byway, to get myself a tile. You should be calm and quiet, and place within my reach, a hat that is a riot, a kelly that's a peach. No idle themes Should enter the eloquence you throw, but all your talk should center upon that grand chapeau. Then, then you

might persuade me to blow five bones or four, but, as it is, you've made me

"It is not easy to say," he answered,

"I believe the young girls in the

schools have felt that the Greek danc

ers they wear you know they wear not so much clothing and the girls

have not wished to wear the old costumes. But that is not, perhaps, so

true now," he added. "I know Isa

dora Duncan had some Greek pupils when she was in my country, and

there are no doubt a few girls there who are interested in the classic

dance."

This modern Greek man conveyed

the impression, however, that the mod

ern Greek maiden would still be a bit shocked to think of herself in the

garb of her ancestors. Visions of statues wearing a thin layer of drap

ery, and that none too securely ar

ranged, seemed to flash before the eyes of the very completely dressed

young Greek of the drawing room. " Isadora Duncan's latest appearances in flowing and disappearing drapery would seem to support this young man's idea that inadequate costumes are a necessary part of the classic dance. Miss Duncan is one of the leaders in the revival of classic dancing and her example has far-reaching results among other naturalistic dancers. But some dancers of the classic school boldly disagree with Miss Duncan's point of view. They explain that, while the ancient Greeks danced in filmy garments, or .even no garments at all, no one was shocked by their appearance. The minds of the people adjusted to a different set of conventions from those obtaining today. Perfection of the human body

was as casually admired then as a beautiful face is now. Costume Versus Custom These dancers say that, while the sense of freedom gained from wearing light drapery is desirable in dancing, some concessions should be made to

custom. Too abbreviated or diaphanous a costume, even if worn with the most artistic of intentions, gains the interest of the modern audience at the expense of the dance itself. Instead of costume, dancer, setting, music, and steps blending harmoniously, the clothing of the performer becomes a distraction. To the Greek audience this would not have been so, but the modern dancer cannot expect to overthrow in an afternoon the traditions

or his time. So the conservatives argue, and their point of view is worthy of notice, since it rarely gets much attention. But, after all, the costume should not be the most important point in the presentation of a classic dance.

It seems strange that a detail of that sort could have stood between modern youths of Greece and a return to

the dancing ideal of their famous ancestors. Yet. when the Greeks dance today they do the latest ballroom steps, or, occasionally at festivals, peasants perform national folk dances. In one of the typical folk dances, the peasants join hands in a long chain. Many of the dancers are in

modern clothes. Some of the girla wear the voluminous peasant dress with embroidered skirt andapron and sleeveless coat, and some of the men wear the full white skirts and tight

leggings of the national costume. They owing along in a simple Btep, keeping time to slow music. The leader waves a handkerchief, and the

rest of the line follows along, dancing the same rather monotonous step,

around and around. These folk

dances are said to bear a faint resemblance to the classic dances of Athens and Sparta, but the resemblance is vague and not easy to trace.

The dances in honor of Athens, Di

ana, Hera, Dionysius and Aphrodite were performed as expressions of a deep religious feeling. In the highest period of Hellenic culture the dances

were graceful, dignified, and altogeth

er artistic. It was only as Greece degenerated that the dances became abandoned.

The Greek folk dances are a far

cry from the wild Bacchanales that

are associated with the last stage of the classic dance. If the folk dances

can be traced back at all it would be

to the dignified professionals in the

groves of some calm and stately deity

Ancient Dances Described

Though diagrams and complete de

scriptions of steps have not come down to us, we can be fairly certain

of some facts about the dances per

formed by the dance-loving Greeks.

Homer, Plato, Hesiod and other writ

ers described the dances, and the

rhythms of Greek poetry were occa

sionally employed to indicate the rhythms of a dance. Jn statues.

paintings and bas reliefs, Greek artists depicted dancers in all sorts of

poses.

Dancing naturally played a large

part in the art of that time because

it played a prominent part in every

day lite. The religious feeling of the

Greeks was largely so expressed,

Births and marriages were celebrated

by dances, and at funerals grief was

customarily shown by suitable panto

mime.

Sculptured figures graphically show

us the sort of dancing approved by

the Greeks, and it is mainly to the work of the sculptors that modern

naturalistic dancers have gone for

their inspiration.

Studying the figures carefully they

have discovered secrets of poise, mus

cular tension, balance and grace that characterized the Greeks when they were at the height of physical perfection. A figure on tiptoe, with draperies swinging to one side and arms

swung to the opposite side, might

suggest to some of us only a model posed by an artist in a graceful attitude. One student of dancing, Maurice Emmanuel, finds that such a pose represents the end of a twirl not unlike the pirouette of the ballet dancer. By analyzing thousands of figures of Greek art. Monsieur Emmanuel found that much of the ballet technique was known to the Greeks, although they performed the steps in a freer and far less technical style than the ballerina. The dance experts agree that the Greeks danced with the entire body, using the head, hands, arms and torso to express their meaning. At first, we are told, the dancers enacted their pantomimes very definitely." They depicted their emotions and thoughts so perfectly that the dancer often finds the highest possible self-

expression in the poses that pleased Phidias 2,400 years ago.

ASTRONOMY STUDIED

f By Associated Pres ANN ARBOR. Mich- Dec. 30. Blind

from birth, with hia conewtion of the heavens formed by descriptions from others, Joseph Caldwefl 0t Indiana,

at the University of Michigan in or

der that he may meet the scienuncal

requirements to permit him to be

years old, is doubly handicapped. In

addition to his blindness, he lacks the mechanical aids for the study of as-'

tronomy that often are afforded to

students who take up other studies.

Blind Btudents of astronomy are so rare that there are no text books with' raised type. Therefore .he depends upon fellow students to read his lessons to him. So proficient has he become, his professors say, that he

frequently memorizes a lesson by. hearing it read only a few times. '
