EGYPT AND THE LEAGUE
The Egyptian parliament has
appealed to the League of Na
tions in a protest against the
high-handed action of England
over the assassination of th;* sir
dar, Sir Lee Stack.
The protest insists upon the
complete independence of Egypt
and the Sudan, which constitute
the same country, one and indivis
ible; secondly, that despite the
satisfaction given by the Egyp
tian government concerning the
assassination of Sir Lee Stack,
the British government has seen
fi fc to exploit this sad incident for
the benefit of its inperialist aims
and to wreak vengeance upon a
pacific nation which can only rely
upon the justice and right of its
cause.
Frenoh and other national pa
pers are unsparing in their criti
cisms, and call attention to the
analogy between the Egyptian
and the Corfu affair in which
Italy was charged with a similar
action.
In any event it is an incident
that will put the value and use
fulness of /the League of Na
tions to a severe test as to wheth
er jt is jan organization to be used
only when it suits the great pow
ers.
It was a similar incident of Ser
bia that precipitated the world
war, and all indications now are
that England will take advantage
of the occasion to not only tight
en its grip on Egypt,.but to con
fiscate the Sudan, abtuc half of
the territory of the empire.
Another serious phase is the
effect on the Mohammedan hordes.
Meanwhile, thinking men, not
only of Europe, but of America,
are wondering where'we are at?
SENTIMENTALITY AND
JW DEBTS.
While it may be true that the
young Marquis of Lafayette “sav
ed” this infant republic when it
rebelled against the mother coun
try and demanded independence
and the right of self-determina
tion, it is also true that there is
«nd hM ......hega- -a -.good deal ■©#■
-
mushy sentimentality over the •
question of “our” debt to France
when the question of debts are
being discussed.
It is just possible, too, that
much of this sentimental propa
ganda eminates among a certain
element that has persistently
pleaded for $ cancellation of this
debt—and that, ton, jij the full
knowledge that England’s refund
ing agreement contains a stipula
tion to the effect that if France
or any other nation is granted
i>etter terms, then she shall be
treated in the same manner.
It has been intimated that the
British owned press in this coun
try, numbering some 22 of the
leading publications, are vigorous
ly boosting the sentimental appeal
for France in anticipation of par
ticipation under their agreement.
So far as any obligation to
France is concerned it would seem
that the American people, by con-
tributing many thousands of lives
of its young men and billions of
dollars to save France in her
hour of need, more than cancelled
our ancient debt of honor.
Let us have more business and
less sentimentality in these as
well as other matters.

WITH RED PEPPER
When you are suffering with
rheumatism so you can hardly pet
around, just try Red Pepper Rub
and you will have the quickest ’re
lief known.
Nothing has such
penetrating heat as red peppers.
Instant relief. Just as soon as
you apply Red Pepper Rub you
feel the tingling heat, , In three
minutes it warms the sore spot
through and through. Frees the
blood circulation, breaks up the
congestion—and the old rheuma
tism torture is gone.
'Rowles Red Pepper Rub, made
from red peppers, costs little at
any drug store. Get a jar at
once. Use it for lumbago, neuri
tis, backache, stiff neck, sore mus
cles, colds in chest. Almost in
stant relief awaits you. Be sure
to get the genuine, with the name
Rowles on each package.—(Adv.)
