Albert Hunter, who has interested himself in an Eastern
Oregon nomial school for many years, insists that this sec

Jf it is to carry at the November election. Southern Ore
'ion, because of the support given the Ashland normal, can
be counted on to favor the normal school bill. Its success

construction loans made to Fiance after the armistice. What
does France want and expect?" Americans ask, in pained
surprise,
Yet it is impossible not to sympathize with the French.
Their troubles are many. Their franc is down to about two
for a nickel, and steadily Roinp; lower. Nothing yet done to
save it has any lasting effect. French business and indus
try are upset. Life for most of the French people is hard.
French war debts are not being paid, as Frenchmen ex
pected, out of Geiman indemnities. A wronged nation, as
victor, sees herself in worse plight than the beaten enemy
that forced the war on her.
,l Perhaps it is too much to expect the French to get the
American viewpoint. The next best thing is for prosperous
Americans to try to grasp the French viewpoint, and instead
of growing angry at the French attitude, regal d it with
patient sympathy.
