SUBSCRIPTIONS One Year 11.60 THE FOREIGN VIEWPOINT There couM hardly be anything more interesting to un itbiu American man the views entertained by tin peoples of other lands ooneerning American ideas and iileals. What they think of ns and our Institution! just now i of more than ordinary Importance In view of the promi nence which our nation ban assumed since the signing ol the armistice, and the fact that President Wilson's now famous "Fourteen Points." have been generally accepted as the starting point from which negotiations' shall pro- eeed in th. conversations preliminary to the actual Rlg1l iiig of the peace treat . The President's authorship ol this program has heightened the tuition's prestige and it lias made him the conurrandine, figure in the world today. In this latter connection, the great publications, as in dicated by the current pi views of European magasines and newspapers believe that all Europe is vicing with the Pres ident 's most ardent admirers here at home in according first place among the world's grcal men. The people of Europe arc entirely at a loss in attempting to understand the objections that have been raised on this side of the va ter to the President's trip to Euros. According to the European writers President Wilson is the summation of all civic rtrtuas. The English journ alists can not find smonf their prominently active men, one with whom to class him. According to them be is more conversant with the growth of Miitish dinlom.it r hfnftnrv than is Balfour himself. They declare that he is more profound than Lloyd George and more eloquent than is Asquith. In fact they find that of all British statesmen. IawI Rosebery ii the only one who possessed the combbui tiou of erudition and eloqQenoe combined with state-craft shown by the President The French dailies dwell upon the democratic ideals tln see iii the Presidei t and h is eloquent presentment of international questions.

The time came, however, when he could no longer hi ignored. He had too many followers all over the land. He had properly gauged the American people. He was a lead er d' public Opinion, not a follower. He bad the courage of his convictions. ,nd be ('ought for what he believed right. n'Q2lQ&S GETTING STARTED RIGHT. It is very evident from the facts brot out at the meet ing of Nyssa and Ontario citizens at the ( 'ommericial elub Tuesday evening, that there is a great deal of work to be done here at home before the Owyhee Project can be ad equately presented for consideration by the Reclamation officials. It is to be regretted that then was not a big delcgatiol and the results justified the gathering, for it proved again that, "two heads are better than our." for discussion in which all phases ,(' the question were considered served h dispell a number of illusions and bring the matter down ti a practical working basis. It is to he regretted that there was not a big deligatioi for Vale present at the meeting, tor the Owyhee project li of supreme importance to all the north end of the county, and it is deserving of the united support of all the emu mttnities in the county. However assurance was given b Mr. (i. II. Cumy of Vale that the county seat town would give its aid in Furthering the project, and that will be appreciated. The work for the Owyhee project affords an excellent opportunity to demonstrate the ability of the people of the county to unite tor the advancement of all, and to relegate sectional interests, tor trul that which licnel its an v sect ion of this valley does actually benefit all the valley. The promotion pf the Owyhee Project could serve no better purpose for the advancement pf the county, aside t coin the material aspect, than in tlntr. hrinc,inu the com munities together. The start has been made, It remains for the committee named, the papers, the Commercial or ganisations and ;dl affected to keep up the interest and enthusiasm needed to put the project over for tin mate benefits of all concerned.
