WHO WILL BLAKE THE WAY?
It does not make much differ- ¥
~~ gnee who is our secretary of
stateé; the senate will blaze the |
| way for our foreign policies,—
’ "?QM(‘OI‘ Boise Penrose. |
; :_fl'e ‘have just pessed through out
of the hdrdest fights with a senate
trylng to “blaze the way” ever this
country experienced. It will go down
in history as the darkest era of
Amerlca republican forms of govern-.
“ment.. The world will not forget the;
“senate ollgarchy.” There was more!
in it than a mere political fight be
tween two political factions. It v:n-‘;
rled to destruction world peace and
has held the whole civilized destiny
of many nations over the racks of
(fetrust until no such thing as faith
n the Amerjcan people exists outsid2
o! the bounds of this country.
What Benator Penrose has suil is
stirring the bosses. It is causing ex
citements in thig country. It means
that President Harding will have to
surrender all the presidential pre
rogatives to overcome it—and that
wmay not be termed overcoming. The
eonstitution of the United States
. provides that the president shall di
rect the foreign policies “by and wita
" the consent of the senate” Tha!
Penrose dictum sets up a new Iwfl;
a npew fabric for our constitutionul
following. If anybody “blages the
~ way," according to the plans tollowed
. in thig country for all time since thel
' tormation of the government, it
~ ghould be the president, i
' The Penrose dictum looks like ho
* will bow to the bosses or contrib\m‘“
mightily towards keeping up that
glant struggle which has been under
way between Woodrow Wilson and
, the bosses of the genate for over two
yeurs. It Harding works to the rule,
"1’- he cau afford to consult senators, but
Be can bave no other poliey than that
. outlined and handed him by the hoss.
E!' 8. No president has done that up to
~ this good hour.
' Wil Harding’s toreign policy be
| Hérding's? Wlill it be that of Pen
' yosé? Wlill it be that of Senator
| Lodge? The business interests of
" this country have been taking a va
| cation since the days they gave to
‘ electing a republican tickel. 1t will
be time to turn the wheels of pur in
' dustries again very soon. The can
taing of, these industries want to
know. - They cannot gauge business
with only a darkened future ahead.
They caynot remain safe while the
possibility of a struggle between the
President and the senate remains so
mear. ' Who will “blaze the way?”
WHAT POOR LOGIC!
“If it is handled with proper
vision and with a real desire for
its success, we can start quickly .
the export ot lirge quantities of
cotton into’ midd'e Europe. 1* is
most jmportant that the farmers
should be wiv2n credits that will
enable them (o hold their cotton
“‘and market it orderly, but final
ly they Imust have markets.
'Phey can not afford to pile crop
on crop, and the war finance cor
poration can start a movement to
markets, start consumption at
mills that are now idle, and itg
value to the cotton-growing states
and the whole country can not
he over-estimated.”
These are the words of Senator
Hoke Smith spoken in the United
States senate with reference to the
revival of the war finance corpora
tion. The senator was one of those
we remember who stood so sternly
opposed in the eritical days of our
early entry into the war against gov
ernment manipulation of any busi
negs or enterprise which might be
otherwise handled. If ever a time
and occasion has come when the gov
ernment should leave a thing alone
it is the businesg which was handled
during the war by the finance cor
poration. That was a war measure,
excusable only because we were at
war, It served a good purpose, but
the day of the need of such an en
terprise is passed and the good that
it can do mow can be measured in
the #mall end of a child's thimble.
We stop and ponder the fact that
the leaders of both branches of ton
gresg are for the revival of the war
fingnce corporation. How they can
be gincere 1o their actions, is the puz.
zle of all puzzles for wus. It isn't
Senator Hoke that we rise to oppose.
He is on the big side this time. And
he may be right—but we have to say
in our honest, sincere hour of thought
that we hate nothing good coming
out of the war finance corporation.
Go back over Senator Smith’s ar
gument. He really belleves that
somewhere it will open up a cotton
market for us Europe, It will not.
It cannot. We are as far from a nor
mal foreign cotton market as we
'were the day the arrogant emperor
’stood atop of the world and called
us to witness hig annihilation of the
troops of the Alles in Flanders. We
will find this out when we go some
further in our national efforts to re
construct our foreign trade,
We have killed the gcose. That
is pessimistic, but not so much so if
we get to the sensible view and find
a remedy. We ought candidly to ad
mit that the unreasonable exchange,
the republican attitude towards for
eign trade in this country, our war
time price hoosting on the goods we
sold Europe when they could not sup
ply themselves, our otherwise gener
al disposition to rob when we could
has literally turned the world
mml us in the greatest disgust.
This is the truth,
" Senator Hoke helieves we can open
up the European cotton markets with
the war Anance corporation. As
wo understand it all the good that
can comg to us through the war 0.
nance corporation is to exterd us
credits a little longer on our eotton,
It is like Lic cays, helping us in hold
our ¢oten a e longer is uct fed
ing a market for it. It must be sod
and consumed and room must be
made for more cotton it we prosper.
[sm't that right?
Suppose we extend credits to the
European cotton manufacturers and
they get our cotton, make it up and
offer it for sale. That is all they
can do. What if they do not find a
market? Where is the market? We
have them shut out of the United
States with it, There is a tarift
wall over which they cannot come
into this country with their manufac
tured goods—and what hurts most
is the fact that they know it. Does
any one look for reliet for anything
in the south from the republicans?
¢ you doubt that we are telling
the truth about the tariff situatiom,
the unfair trade relations the inter
ects of thig country have assumed to
wards Europe and the rest of the
world, read some. A splendid illus
tration of what we are trying to ins-
_HE WILL NOT CHANGE. '

as saying that he will Hot urge
this country to adopt a basis of
disarmament. Still, he has three
months in which to change his
views.—Valdostd Times.
Harding is an old timer MHe& be
lieves in carrying out campaign
pledges. A man who is pledged to
scrap the league ought to have bet
ter senye than to talk disarmament
for the nation whose government
would scrap a world peace covenant,
When we declare as a nation against
the league then well may we set
out on armaments program. We will
need all the fighting machinery we
can build, and all the diplomacy we
can invent to keep out of war with
the rest of the world. It will take
both agencies to keep heads up in
the United States,
JUST THE REVERSE.
Senator Lodge i¢ quoted as
saying that President Wilson
should be left to history, Lodge
will be left to history, too, and,
oh, what a page — Valdosta
Times.
The world hag left a lot of its his
tory to Wilson during the past eight
years. Just how much of it he has
made is for Lodge to learn. He has
only a few yearg between him and
the grave for this lesson and he
ought to be busy trying to grasp it
bhefore it is too late, Eternity may
require of him a better knowledge of
the merits of a great man than he
would seem to have now. |
press came out of Paris in a news
item yesterday. We profess to b-_z}
more friendly towards France thau
any other country. We had a ten
percent tax levied on Paris gowns
and millinery. It was cutting big
“ice”. That was removed, through
what authority we do not know, bhut
news from the French capital yester
day said the removal of that tax alone
would mean fifty percent more busi
ness on Parig gowng and millinery in
this country.
We were engaged in upholding a
law that effectually kept Paris gowns
and millinery out of the United
Statey, and at the same time we were
encouraging home manufacturers to
go after the consumers with unrea
sonable high prices. There is the
whole story of a high tarift—a pro
tective tariff—~that make it impossi
ble for Kurope to dispose of the cot
ton goods at reasonable prices,. Wé
grow enough cotton for the wholo
world, but prevent the rest of the
world from making and selling ca’-
ton goods wherever we can impose
a tariff that stops their trade. Please
note how Paris businesg celcbrated
the removal of the ten percent on
millinery and dresses. M thom it
was a day of trade independence once
again.
Now ask yourself how furlhes ex
tensions of credits to our farmers on
their cotton will relieve any of this.
Do you believe it?
Credit it all to political gragd
stand play and go on to work,
Leave off gome of the cotton and try
it with other crops. That's your
best argument for the next season.
We have good news from some of
our manufacturing centers indica
ting that the mills are gone back to
work., We are quite sure they will
have no labor ghortage.

LITTLE WANT AD
You seldom think of the far reaching power of a want ad
vertisement. You can do more than sell a house or a farm, or
rent rooms with one. You can operate a paying business and
pile up greater cash returns on a single want ad if you have an
article of merchandise somebody wants. These always cost so
little that anybody can use them and pay for them and neves
miss the money. . fl
Want advertisements are wonderful results getters, If you »
have anything you want to dispose of, you ought not to forget :
that a Dispatch Want Ad will turn the trick. Suppese you mark
it down Somewhere in vour New Year’s diary so as not to forget
the want ad columns next time you want to sell something, The
Dispatch goes into the home and up by the firesides. The whoke
tamily reads it. If it is in a fant ad and in the Dispatch, they
see it. Don’t you worry. Call telephone 30 and get one going.
