NEW PLAN FOR BUSINESS
MORE SPLENDID MEN FOR
SLAUGHTER.
Sir John French, inspecting the
Canadian troops recently landed in
France pronounced them a fine .body
of men. Of course ' they are, as we
who have lived neighbor to tnem
know full well. They are the best of
the brain and brawn of Canada.
Better men grow nowhere. They are
North Americans. :.
But they will not remain "a fine
body of men" for long in the sense in
which Sir John used the phrase.
They will be shot over and through;
; their lines now so regular will be
measure the- opposite of that which
secured the unanimouc approval of
the august senate. The house stood
for mutual rural credit and loan asso
ciations. Although amended to ban
ish all legislative aid, this bill Is
baaed upon that proposed by Senator
Fletcher pf Florida and his special
committee which toured Europe in
1918 collecting information on rural
credits, whereas the senate measure
is an emaciated edition of the con
gress, and Bathrick's plan for direct
loans. : Senate and house swapped
tills, and the senate seems to hava
come out second best. As in the
senate the house passed its ; rural
credits measure practically without
discussion and the conference threw
out both measures and submitted a
resolution to "investigate" again.

"NEW EUROPEAN MAP
MAKING A FARCE OF RURAL
CREDITS
So much is said locally regarding
rural credits that a few words on the
work of the recent congress seems
appropriate.
Congress trifled again with rural
credit legislation., The senate passed
the McCumber rural credits bill with
out discussion by attaching it as a
rider to. a general appropriation bill.
Trade, like water, runs down hill.
This war has proved that buffer states
are no insurance against war, , that
small states are doomed. Nations
have evolved from racial and reli
gious entities into lingual entities, and
this war is the birth spasm of nations
as economic entities. Upon this, rea
soning is baRed the latest rearrange
ment of the map of Europe by theo
retic peacemakers.
By this ulan central Europe is di
vided between France and Germany,
Austria, each of which is given all
the territory drained by its river
systems, the watersheds becoming the
frontiers, because trade naturally
follows the river. Switzerland, Hol
land, Belgium, Denmark, and Lux
emburg are crowded off the map.
France gains Lorraine and Flanders;
Germany gains half of Belgium, the
mouth of the Rhine, Denmark and that
part of Poland drained by the ViBtula;
Austria yields Galicia and Bukovina to
Russia, but gains all the Danube val
ley clear to the Black sea and south
to the Balkan mountains. All three
nations, plus Italy.meet in the Alps.
Russia, in advantage to the Carpath
ian provinces, is compensated for her
partial loss in Poland by control of
Constantinople. : -There,
you have, in a nutshell, a
beautiful complete framework for a
Europe which might keep peace with
itself forevef, providing as the au

The managing owner -steps down and
out, the direction being assumed by
200 employes, each of whom is now
earning $1,200 or more. These re
