POISONING THE
TJ ORATIO HOTTOMLKY, editor of "John Hull,' is the William
AX Iiaiido)h Jli'tii-. (f KiiKhnid. , Through his paper which is
one of the most widely read pnhlications in London, he is persistently
inciting hatred against the 1'nited States, as Hearst is persistently
inviting hatred against England. I '
A correspondent to "John
follows :
''it is the hypocracy of I'ndc Sam that so disgusts
' and outrages the average Englishman. If the American
government would only drop its role of mock idealism
and smug self righteousness, and appear in its true
colors its a selfish and grasping old money hags, its real
policy of world domination and material exploitation,
would he less reprehensihle, at least it would he hon
est. Hut this snivelling nhout love of peace mid no de
sire for gain, combined with a program which threatens
war with every nation that doesn't pay tribute to the
richest nation in the world, makes American policy
distrusted everywhere. Japan can't have Yap, because
Vnele Sam Wiinls.it, England and France can't have oil
in Mesopotamia and l'ersia. because Uncle Sain wants
il, hands off in Hntavia for Holland, because Uncle 1
Sam wants his little profit there, and while preaching
isolation from Europe, when some sacrifice is involved,
Europe can't make a move to better its own affairs,
without Uncle Sam stepping in with his cry of 'Halt '
you don't g(-t any thing unless I urn in on it.' England
got rid of the bully of Europe, only to have in his place,
the bully of the world."
There is more of it, but that is a fair sample, and the propa
ganda continues in practically every issue, with just enough sem
blance of the truth to impress the ignorant, and uudiseriniinating
masses, among whom this paper principally circulates.
Of course the United States asks nothing of the sort. American
does not ask for Yap, does not ask for oil in Persia or Hatavia, does
not ask Europe to halt in bettering its own affairs. All it. has asked
and all il. asks today is an etpial right and opportunity with other
nations, in other words, the "open door."
Why should i ask for less? America produces four-fifths of the
world's oil, and yet no foreign country has ever been excluded from
its fields. With Mexico next door the United States might have jus
tified a prior right to Mexican oil, hut no protest has ever been made
to absolute, equality there with (irent Hrilain, France, Holland or
any other country.
"A fair field and no favor," thathas been the American economic
policy for over two decades, and it is a policy which justifies every
assumption of disinterested unselfishness that has been made. Hilt
ngiiinsl this the policies complained of have decreed that Japan
should have exclusive right to the most important international
cable station in the Pacific, that England' and France should have
exclusive, rights to Near East, oil, that Holland should have control
of oil in the East Indies to the exclusion of the United States.
The policy that the United States opposes, is the very policy, Mr.
Hotlomley's correspondent accuses it. of practicing, the policy of
national selfishness in world trade and development. However that
is no reason for the editor of John Hull to point out his correspond
ent's error. For errors sugar coated with a thin layer of plausibility,
arc what some papers live on.

X through; the thought to me no terror lends, as my calm
.journey 1 pursue, for I have done my best, my friends, and more
than that no man can tlo. My best was hut a trifling thing, I must
admit, now that I'm old; 1 never could rear up and swing the harp
that, Milton used to hold ; it wasn't in my soul to spring such music
as from Byron rolled. But I have toiled away with zest, my
strains the highest that I Knew, and now the sum is in the west,
and skies grow dark that late were blue, I know that I have done
my best, and more than that no man can do. Old age is tranquil
and serene if one can take a glance behind, survey the rocky roads
he's seen, the struggle and the weary grind, and know his wreath,
however mean, was still tho best one he could find. The gods do
not. their gifts bestow in equal measure to the flock; one man is
born to cop the dough, the next must wait for ghosts to walk; one
man is built to be a beau, his neighbor is a homely crock. But
when it's time to go to rest, the evening come, the errands run,
the gifts and talents we possessed are measured by the fruits
they've won; unless we've tried to tlo our best we've failed, how
ever much we've done.

A Series of Human Interest
Talks on Insurance
"FULLY INSURED"
The excuse often given for
not taking out insurance is this,
"I atp. fully insured."
And yet, when protection is I
badly needed when insurance
could stave off business disaster
or make profitable expansion
possible, thousands of men find
that they are not "fully insured."
When the merchant finds the
store on fire with a small
amount of fire insurance it's
too lute to get "fully insured."
When tho doctor says "too bad
you didn't apply for' life insur
ance sooner" it's too late to get
full protection for your family.
With our larpe line of policies
I am able to make proper recom
mendation for your case.
