30 to 34 that tho Bafoty of Europo
dona not require tho suppression ot
Cjermany from her placo as a flrst

Tho question, ns it was proposed'
for dobato, was: "Resolved, that Eu
topo will not onjoy . secure peaco
at tho end of this war if Germany
remains a first-clasa power."
Tho nogatlvo argument included
tho assertion by a Magdalen College

crush Germany. Ono dobator de
clared that neither Germany nor
Groat Drltnln cduld hope to bo In tho
position of a first-class powor during
tho war. "To crush Germany, ho
remarked, "wo would have to reach
Lorlln; this would tako six years,
and in that tlmo wo should have
crushed ourselves too. A sort of In
ternational partnership would bo a
wlsor way. Driving the Gormana out
of tho torritory they havo conquered

Of Sentiment
The shrewd buyer of space the man who de
mantis "action on his money" all else being equal
is the man who will make the cash register
ring the oftenest. '
The value of any medium from an advertising
viewpoint depends largely on its circulation and
the thoroughness with which it covers its field.
Poor copy in a good medium, however, won't
produce results neither will good copy, in a poor
medium.
Spasmodic and half-hearted advertising . is
more apt to be a failure than a success.
The advertising department of The Coos Bay

SUGGESTS A TAX
ON BRITISH WINS
Idea In Drought Up by Ono Member
of Parliament Ah Mcana
of Knifing Money
Dr AlMcUted PrM to Com Hit Tlmei.J
LONDON, Jan. C. Tho sugges
tions mado by n member of Parlia
ment to tax British wines as a means
of increasing tho revenues has de
veloped tho fact that tho public nt
largo does not exactly know what Is
meant by tho torm "Ilritlsh wine," In
vlow of tho fact that only tablo
grapes aro raised in England, mostly
in hot houses.
Ilritlsh wines nro ordinarily mado
by country people in their dwn homos
out of elderberry, currants, blnck
borrlcs and frqlts. Thoy nro cordials
rathor than wlnes.jand aro strongly
fortlfiod with alcohol. On account
or their being so lnrgoly a homo pro
duct, thoy havo novor boon taxed. Rut
these drinks aro also manufactured
by distillers under rovonuo supervis
ion, although untaxed. Thoy can bo
sold only by licensed retailors.
Local wines of this kind do not
seriously compoto with grapo tablo
wines, unless It bo an imitation port
mado out of raisins. Objection Is
mado that a tax op thorn would not
ylold enough rovonuo to mako It
worth whllo, as special licenses
would havo to bo issued, to cottagers
nnd a Btrlct watch kept to prevent ill
icit distilling. Tho cldor Industry,
if hotter dovolopod, might ylold somo
rovonuo, but n tax at this tlmo would
probably kill tho trade
