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. Birdie News The farmers of this esetion were visited by a fine rain last Monday which was much needed.
