TALKING IT OVER
OSCAR AMERINGEK
-Si Some time ago Secretary
le"on cf the treasury depart-
p„B dent, proclaimed the boll wee-
/il the advance agent of pros-
oqM verity. .
ausqi In a widely quoted speech he I
io a'iaid in substance: "The boll
weevil, by eating alxut three-
""" fifths of the cotton rop. has
<.01 made the remaining iwo-iifths
pine rnore valuable tnan the v. hole.
The boll weevil is a blessing in
mo'u. disguise."
jo<r When this historic utterance
of the learned Secretary start-
r~ ed thundering down the corri-
dors of time there were many
citizens of this enlightened na-
tion who laughed at Mr. Mellon
, and called him a lemon, and
I , made other frivolous and de-
irogatory remarks concerning
itti him and his notion.
■ orn The trouble with these scof-
' 1 fers was that they did not
understand the mysterious
su . workings of the great law of
supply and demand,
pu . . .
I Anything that decreases the
i visible supply of a given com-
tJI ,-fluidity increases the demand
j ssi J for what is left and thereby
' 'om increases its price, and is,
-oq therefore, a blessing in dis-
-mu ' guise.
9" ! The Chicago fire and the San
' Francisco earthquake were
blessings in disguise. They de-
1 •, reased the number of homes
M, ,i .n those cities and thereby
x t. raised the rent of the homes
-o. '■ that remained standing, and
say' furnished work for carpenters,
bricklayers and contractors.
Plague and pests, such as
cholera, flu or smallpox, are
blessings in disguise. They in-
crease the demand for coffins
and bring prosperity to doctors,
nurses, hospitals and druggists.
War is a blessing in disguise.
The unprecedented prosper-
it; during the world war was
caused directly by the with-
drawal of twenty-five millions
s of able-bodied men from indus-
try and the wholesale destruc-
tion of everything in sight, in-
cluding a goodly portion of the
twenty-five millions of able-
bodied men.
Viewed in the light of the
economic doctrine, as promul-
gated by Mr. Mellon, the kaiser
was. therefore, the greatest
benefactor of the human race
that ever came down the pike.
While the kaiser was on the
' * job everybody had a job and
everybody made money.
But when the kaiser got in
Dutch and moved to Holland
the bottom dropped out of
everything. And if it were not
for the half dozen small wars
that are still going on in Eu-
rope we would all be in the
soup instead of the soup
\ x kitchen.
Yes, Mr. Mellon is perfectly
right when he pronounces de-
structive agencies, ' rch as -he
boll weevil, as the creators of
good times, and this being the
case, all we have to do to make
things hum again is to get
Kaiser Bill back on the job,
supply him with an army of
cockroaches, cattle ticks, hes-
sian flies, fire-bugs, cholera
germs, poison gas inventors
and boll weevil.
Sure, the boll weevil is a
I # blessing in disguise.
And so is Mr. Mellon, whose
value lies in the fact that ho
inspires our youth with the
idea that any fool can be Sec-
retary of the Treasury and got
away with it.

Wipe Out Debt By Arms Pact--Bryan
BY WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN
(Copyright. 1921, by United Press.)
WASHINGTON, Nov. 10—The con-
ference which is about to assemble
may prove to be the most important
gathering in centuries, or it may
! bring the greatest disappointment
! experienced in .generations.
j It all depends upon the real pur-
pose of the actors—a purpose that
j can only be revealed by acts.
! If the delegates believe universal
' and perpetual peace possible, they
will try to secure it. If not they will
not attempt anything of real and
: permanent importance.
Suppose the United States were to
step forward and say: Ye are will-
ing to pay ten billions for the prog
-ressive disarmament of th* world,
begun at once and continued until
the navies are no larger than neces-
sary to police the seas and the at ni-
les no larger than necessary to pre-
serve peace*on land; could the na-
tions refuse the offer-1
Ten billions of debt canceled on
such conditions, would enabfe the
allies and their enemies to get to-
gether and so distribute the sum as
to bring a large measure of financial
relief to every nation involved in
the *ar and this relief would re-
i store friendly relations and permit
la disarmament otherwise impossible.1
The cancelation of this debt, added
1 to the reduction of military and
naval expenditures, would give the
! world a new birth and go \far to-
wards restoring normal conditions.
Could the United States afford it?
A reduction of one-half in her mili-
tary and naval appropriations would
enable her to save the amount in
less than twenty years; a reduction
of three-fourths in army and navy
expended would enable her to save
the amount In less than fifteen years
It will be difficult for the debtor na-
tions to pay the sum and the obliga-
tion to pay It Is made the basis for
; indemnities which, however just,
threaten the amity of Europe- for
j generations and thus furnish an ex-
icuse for military and naval expendi-
j tures hardly less burdensome than
1 the Indemnities.
! Would the American people sup-
I port such a proposition? Why not?
They are sentimental; they spent
j over thirty billions to end the war by
means of war; would they not spend
ten billions to end war by peaceful
means ' And besides the American
people are practical. If they can
save enourh on military and naval
appropriations in fifteen or twenty
years to compensate them for giving
up the debt, why should they spend
two or three times that sum on army
and navy while they consume one
hundred years in collecting the debt,
not to speak of the possible dangers
that lurk In the attempt to collect
such a debt from nations already
overburdened?
Has this nation any better offer to
make? Is any other nation able to
make so large a contribution to-
wards the success of the conference.
War Debt Cancellation
Would Benefit Nobody.
BY J. W. T. MASIN
Cancellation of the allied war debt
to the United States at this time
would have no effect upon the
world's political situation.
Events may so develop In the fu-
ture as to permit the United State«
to get value received in international
support for wiping out the ten bil-
lion dollars of European Indebted-
ness. But that time has not yet ar-
rived.
If cancellation were made by
America under present conditions
Europe would not feel the effect at
all. There would be no financial re-
lief to the allies because they would
save nothing. They are not paying ,
interest on the debt nor making any
effort to reduce the principal It is
not likely they will make payments
on any Important scale while present
distreajdng financial conditions exist
abroad.
There would not be a penny to dis-
tribute If the debts were canceled.
Cancellation would be a matter of
bookkeeping only. Europe is not be-
ing taxed to pay back the debt,
'iherefore, cancelation would mean
no remission in taxation and 110 fi-
nancial relief under present condi-
tions to anybody. Then is no rea-
son to believe the aims of the Wash-
ington conference would be furth-
ered by cancelation.
The crux of the conference is the
Far Eastern situation.
Plan Causes a Stir.
WASHINGTON. Nov 10. -(By U.
P.)—The suggestion advanced today
by Wm. J. Bryan that America can-
cel Europe's $10,000,000,000 debt on
condition that armaments be reduced
caused a Btir in official circit^Lbye.
This is a question which has been
under discussion here for months
and which officnals have all along
expected would be discussed before
the conference. '

j Confidence that Premier Lloyd
1 Ceorge would be able to leave soon
for the Washington arms conference

j larations in a speech at the lord
; mayor's banquet last night. The
I premier emphasized the vital unport-
'ance of the conference which, he de-
clared. "comes none too soon.'

Britain had made arrangements to

L'nited States at the rate of fifty mll-
