Thus, periods of prosperity are marked
by increases in commercial as well as sav
ings deposits. Periods of readjustment,
with their accompanying problems of un
employment, show themselves in a de
cline of commercial deposits and a slight
change of savings deposits. And as
times become better and the future looms
big with possibilities, bank deposits grow
again and business comes to life.

business men and private individuals interested in the value
to them of the art of advertising will do well to remember these
facts. They were brought out forcefully in a speech delivered
recently in Atlantic City by Karl D. Babst. Mr. Babst explained
that reputations of value attach to localities as much as to indi
viduals and corporations. ' ,
"The greatest asset in the world is good will," said Mr.
Babst "" "
"Good will, in the simple, terms; of American business, is
'good reputation.' ' ''-'! ' '
The average citizen who buys, but does not manufacture or
advertise, may say: "Advertising is all very well for the

HIS business. But what good does advertising do ME t"
Advertising is more .valuable even to the buyer than to the
seller. For in a business established by advertising thaf has cost
millions a business has established a NAME' worth more than
all its factories, machinery and money, and it MUST PROTECT
THAT NAME.

FULFILLS POLICY
American Army of Occupation Kept in Germany at
Special Request of Europena Nations. Order to
Return All Issued in March, 1922, Suspended Out of
Special Consideration to Europe America Has
Not Been Compensated for Cost Which Exceeds
$256,000,000. Germany Not to Blame.
Washington, Jan. 24. The ordering home of the last detachment
of the American army of occupation stationed in Germany completes
the movement started early in the present administration to withdraw
all our armed forces from European territory, r
At the time Republicans came into power there were approximately
15,000 men in the American army on the Rhine. In October, 1921,
Secretary of War Weeks announced this force would be cut to one
brigade of infantry and the necessary auxiliary troops, making a total
of approximately 5,000 men.
In February, 1922, it was announced that a further reduction of
203 officers and 3,000 enlisted men would be made. This left in Ger
many only 2,000 enltised men and 169 officers.
Upon both occasions this policy met with the approval of the
American people. Some notable exceptions were leading Democratic
papers, like the Baltimore Sun, which denounced very bitterly the
policy of reducing the American army.
On March 20, 1922, orders were is
sued by Secretary of War Weeks for
the return of ail remaining United
States troops from Germany. The
order read as follows:
"Some months ago the President
directed tbat the troops in Europe,
at least in excess of 2,000 officers and
men, should be returned to the Uni
ted States He has now directed that
this service be continued until all of
the troops have been brought to the
United States, which would mean
that before the end of the fiscal year
the entire force will hare been re
turned. This order stood until May, 1922,
at which time the force had been re
duced to about 1,200, which is its
present strength. In May, 1922, it
was announced that the return of all
troops would be held in abeyance.
Although no reason was officially
assigned for this change of policy by
te United States Government, it was
known to be due to the representa
tions made to this Govrnment by
Great Britain. France, Belgium and
Germany. All four of those nations
requested the United States Govern
ment not to withdraw the small de
tachment of American soldiers which
were quartered in German territory
Each nation assigned the same rea
son, namely, that the presence of the
United States troops, even though
small m number, served to stabilize
conditions along the Rhine and fear
was expressed that their withdrawal
might prove hurtful. It was in view
of these representations, and as a
result of them, the order of March
20 was indefinitely suspended.
The American army was first sta
tioned upon the Rhine under the
terms of the Armistice pending the
negotiations of a peace treaty. At
that time more than 200,000 soldiers
were assigned to the American army
of occupation. This army in con
junction with British, Belgian and
French troops, occupied German ter
ritory under terms of the Armistice
in order to compel an observance by
the German government of the Arm
istice terms pending final peace by
terms of treaty
The Versailles treaty provided for
armits of occupation to remain on
the Rhine until the indemnities as
sessed against Germany by terms of
that treaty were paid It in under the
terms of this treaty, which Germany
ftigned, that France, England and
Belgium have maintained and still
maintain armies in German territory.
With the rejection of the treaty by
the United States Senate the right
of the United .States Government to
maintain soldiers in Germany no
longer existed by any legal authority.
Bad Germany objected to their We:

American army in the occupied ter

to this feeling that the troop wore
permitted to remain.' With the ron
elusion of the treaty between this
rounrty and Germany, legal author
ity for the retention of armed furcen
in the occupied territory was re
vived, as under the terms of that
treaty the United Htates retained all

It has cost the United States Gov

$256,000,000 to maintain her army in

Statements frequently appear in

money covering the cost of our army

defaulting in her payments. This is
not true. Our failure to be compen

The good w ill, the reputation w of, a name, is a property

first charge, or lien, upon the assets
and revenues of the German govern
ment, and that these costs should
date from the signature of the Ar
mistice It was provided that these
costs should be paid by Germany to
the Reparations Commission and paid
in gold, instead of the depreciated
German currency. The costs were
assessed against Germany and Ger
many has pnid them, but the Repara
tions Commission has never paid to
the United States a red penny of the
money collected from Germany to pay
for the upkeep of foreign troops on
German soil.
The United States Government was
fully aware that the Reparations
Commission was collecting from
Germany the costs for the armies of
occupation, and was fully aware that
other nations were being compensat
ed for maintaining troops along the
Rhine. Out of a spirit of charity and
a desire to do nothing that might
cause hard feelings or give rise to
the charge that we were suspicious
of the good faith of the Reparations
Commission, the United States Gov
ernment made no protest against this
condition until early in 1922.
Action by the United States Gov
ernment at this time was precipitat
ed as the result of the conference
of the allied premiers at Cannes.
This conference was held in January,
1922, at the insistence of Lloyd
George, who had several little
schemes which he wished to "put
over" in connection with European
affairs. It ' was at . this conference
that a decision was reached among the
allied premiers that in the division of
reparations extracted from Germany
the cost of the American army of oc
cupation should be altogether ig
nored because the United States Sen
ate had refused- to ratify the Ver
sailles treaty This was in face of the
provisions of the Versailles treaty
that these costs should be collected
by the Reparations Commission and
in face of the fact that the Repara
tions Commission had collected the
costs. It was in the face of the fur
ther fact that while the United
States had not ratified the Treaty of
Versailles, its army on the Rhine
was being maintained at the special
request of Great Britain and France
wh believed that so long as America
kept armed forces alongside of theirs
in Germany it would give the appear
ance that America sustained their
contentions.
As a result of this decision at Can
nes to let the United States "hold the
sack" in so far as the costs of her
army of occupation was concerned,
the State department immediately
drafted and sent to the governments
of Great Britain, France, Italy, Bel
gium and Japan a very sharp note
which informed those powers that
the United States did not propose to
submit to any such treatment. This
note called the attention of those
governments to the fact that the
United States was not keeping an ar
my upon the Rhine because of any
interest It had In patrolling German
territory. Upon this point Secre
tary Hughes said very bluntly:
"The government of the Allied

Powers will not be unmindful of the
fact that the government of the Uni
ted States has repeatedly and earn
estly been solicited not to withdraw
its army of occupation, and this ar
my has been continued upon the basis
of the right to be paid it's actual
cost upon an equal footing with the
Allies."
Secretary Hughes further informed
the various countries that if our
claim was not allowed by the Repar
ations Commission it would be due:
"Solely to the refusal of the gov
ernments of the Allied Powers them
selves to permit the discbarge of an
admittedly equitable claim and thus
to seek to maintain in their behalf
exclusively a first charge upon alt the
assets and revenues of the German
government."
As a result of this note the allied
governments disavowed any intention
of "bilking" the United States out of
money justly due it. Nvertheless,
instead of paying any money to the
United States to cover the cost of
maintaining her army in Germany,
they proposed to have a conference
to talk it over and to find some means
of "adjustment." This conference is
now in. progress.
Meantime, none of the money due
the United States Government for
keeping an army in Germany from
November 11, 1918, te the present
date has been paid by the allied gov
ernments, although they have col
lected from Germany under the terms
of the treaty the costs of supporting
the various armies of occupation in
Gorman territory. Great Britain has
been paid $2t2,896f7r3, France has
been paid $59422,973 Belgium has
been paid $100 ,9 25,666.

U. 5. SE1T
Selection of Presidential Candidates is Most Import
ant of All and Should Not be Left to Boss Controll
ed Convention Methods Which Leaves Voters Noth
ing But Choice Between Two Evils.
By United States Senator George W. NorkiS, ; ? ' -Chairmao,
Senate Committee on Agriculture and Forestry.1
Washington, D. C., Jan. 24. A primary for the nomination of can
didates for office is in reality, a part of the election machinery. A pri
mary election is often more important than the regular election which
follows. To deny to the people the right to nominate their candidates
for office, is in reality, a denial of the right of suffrage.
The primary elections have come into almost universal u&e in the .
nomination of all candidates for office except President, of the United
States.
Why should this exception exist?
If the people are allowed by primary to select their candidates for
governor, for the House of Representatives and for United States
Senate, then by what logic are they deprived of the right to select in
the same way their candidates for President?
The President it the most import- I
ant office of all. Ha has mors to do
both with the making ot the laws and
their administration than any other
official in the country. He is part of
the legislative machinery of the fed
eral government. He helps to make
the laws under which all of the peo
must live.
The President is practically su
preme in the enforcement of these
laws. He appoints all of the execu
tive officials in the entire country.
He likewise appoints all of the judges
of the United States courts and tnua
has an indirect inluerce ujon the
interpretation of law as well as
their enactment and enforcement.
National Conventions Ignore Wiha
of Kank and (file.
Everybody knows that the national
conventions of both of the great po
litical parties pay but little heed to
the wishes of the rank and file of
those parties.
We have seen a great political par
ty practically dominated and con
trolled by a sick man a thousand
miles away from the place where the
convention was held.
We have seen a great national con
vention of a great political party
completely changed in the sentiment
of its membership by the contests
and the arbitrary rules of a national
committee in making up the tempor
ary roll of the convention.
Every intelligent American citizen
knows that national conventions are
not controlled by the people but by
the political machines and the polio
ical bosses and when the two conven
tions of the dominant political, par,
ties are thus controlled, there is noth
ing left for the people except a choice
between two evils.
When the people do not dominate,
the people cannot elect. r
In the case of our President, the
work of the national eonvention is
the last and the final act, There is
nothing left except a ratification of
one or another. There is no appeal
from their decree.
Independent Candidates Cannot Be
Electee. -
It is true that in theory an inde
pendent candidate might run for the
office of President after the con v en.
tions had disregarded the wishes of
the people.
As a matter of practice, however,
tit is theoretical right is nothing but
a myth, and it is practically impos
sible for an Independent candidate
to make any headway in running for
President. '
The electoral college stands in the
way.

It would b noccRsary to organize
a new party and form an organization
in every congressional district in the
Unites" States, a thing that for prac
tical purposes within the short timei
between the date of the holding of
the convention and The vlentton is an
impossibility, and even if posaible.
requires an immense amount of
money. t
With the electoral college stand
ing in the way. there Is no possibility
of efts Independent candidate for
President having his name placed, on
the ballot.
If die people could vote directly
for President, primary elections for
the nomination of candidates for .
President would not be noariy so Jra
portaitt, becsujrt in taw thp convent

of thp citizenship an independent
candidate could be placed in the t.cld
and elected, but as long as the elec
toral college exists such a thing Is
as impnssiblle as though it were pro
hibited by direct language in the con--ntitution.

It is quite apparent, therefore, that;
a primary for the nomination of pres

ant and more fundamental than a pri
