0. APRIL 29. 1920 THURSDAY, In this world it is necessary BRITAIN PAYS HER WAY GREAT BRITAIN is the first European belligerent to resume paying her way. There will be no more borrowing by the British government to meet its expenses. Taxation now is sufficient to meet all financial demands.

Austen Chamberlain, chancellor of the exchequer, announces that for the present year, the receipts of the British government will be $7,091,500,000 and the expenses $5,920,500,000. This will leave a balance of $1,171,000,000 which will be used for the liquidation of the war debt. Next year, there will be $1,500,000,000 for liquidation. At this rate, Great Britain will have paid off what the war cost her within twenty years. Not even the United States with all its vast wealth plans to retire its war bonds more rapidly.

The British people are demonstrating that they are back on their feet. They are shouldering far greater taxation burdens than any other nation. They are giving an extraordinary demonstration of financial-power. Pessimists who, have been predicting bankruptcy for all Europe might well study what England is doing. British gold has saved Europe more than once.

British financiers are now at work to prevent continental Europe from becoming bankrupt. The remarkable budget statement of the chancellor of the exchequer is the best possible proof that they will succeed. British solvency cannot be doubted any longer by the most skeptical. With Great Britain solvent, Europe's financial salvation is practically assured. mm wmtk Copyright 192') by The Pres PubHjhing Com.1 F4 -i' pany (The New York World).

R. Vet you're late We beat you to it We won that in the Civil War." Bullets for Ballots The secession of Sonora "may be the beginning of the end of Mexico's troubles," thinks the El Paso Herald (Ind.) for, it points out, "Northern and Southern Mexico have little in common aside from language," and this new republic of the North. friendly to the United States, might act "as a sort of buffer state between the American and Mexican frontiers." While all of the American cress does not share the views of this border newspaper, there is nevertheless general agreement with the sentiment expressed in the Birmingham Age-Herald (Dem.) that "the latest upheaval in Mexico threatens to be come the most serious that the coun- try nos expenencea in a long time." Not a little sympathy is expressed north of the Rio Grande for the rev 2., in the opinion of the Philadelphia Inquirer (Rep.) "could naraiy ran to be a substantial lm-' provement on Carranza's discredited and discreditable regime," but there are also those who cling to the be lief in things as they are, among them the PitUburgh Press which declares that "it is Carranza's paramount duty to subdue the Sonora rebels." Whispers of annexation are audible, but not a few writers echo the warning of the Chrfstian Science Monitor (Ind.) to refrain from interference, for "Sonora is not another Texas." The Providence Journal (Ind.) insists that "this country should hold strictly aloof," and the Bangor Commercial (Ind.) assumes that to leave Mexico alone "to fight out their own differences" is, indeed, "the general sentiment of the country." Nor does this appeal for a neutral attitude come from New Eng- land alone, for the Thoenlx Republican (Ind. in a state that knows Sonora as a next-door neighbor, expresses the hope that there will be no ill-timed talk of annexation to the United States "a thing that would be advantageous to neither." "Benevolent Neutrality" The Detroit Free Press (Ind.) although friendly to the revolutionists, pleading for "benevolent neutrality" toward them, admits that: "There are even conceivable conditions under which the United States might be justified in undertaking to protect the new and orderly republic in Northern Mexico against encroachments from the South, being careful, of course, to avoid any assumption of overlordship." Without granting that there would be reason for us to "help the discredited Mexican chief pull chestnuts out of' the fire," the Boston Transcript (Ind. Rep.) thinks that with Sonora's independence "American interest In the whole region would grow apace." But the Minneapolis Jourial (Ind.

Rep.) is willing to go further, for it gees a parallel between Sonora's course and that followed by Texas, suggesting that "while the United States would scarcely care to take a 'territory of such alien population, it might be Americanized in time, as Texas was." But, rather than a struggle for independence, many see Sonora's recourse to arms as a mere election contest between Carranza's "party" and Obregon's, with the substitution of bullets for ballots. The New York Times (Ind. Dem.) remarks: "Whatever mistakes President Car-ranza has made, however stubborn and difficult he may be, General Ob-regon and his army friends incur the tsuspicion of planning to carry the election in the traditional Mexican way, thai is to say, by revolution." Calls Carranza Dictator Not everyone is willing to make excuses for Carranza, however. "He has made himself dictator," says the Buffalo News (Rep.) and the Philadelphia Inquirer (Rep.) has a good word or two to say for his opponent: "Obregon is not an ideal character, and unless greatly belied there are some black spots on his record, but at least he was not pro-German during the war; his attitude toward the United States has been consistently friendly." While standing up for Obregon, the Bingham ton Sun (Ind. Dem.) considers that it is his duty to repudiate the revolution and permit his campaign, if he wishes to be elected president, to progress in an orderly fashion.

Says the Sun: "It is impossible for any government on under such conditions. If Massachusetts were to revolt from the American Union unless Governor Coolidge were elected President, the condition would be similar to that prevailing in Sonora." The Fort Wayne Journal Gazette (Dem.) is willing to reserve judgment as to the cause of the present outbreak. It may indicate, it says, "a general spirit of rebellion, or may merely mean that Obregon has determined to reach the Presidency by the usual Mexican route," and concludes with the assertion that "the American people cannot tolerate another Carranza policy toward this country, but Obregon seema to hold friendly views and it is to be hoped that with the passing of Carranza we shall have the old friendly relations that had been built up during the Diaz regime." Obrcffon and the Revolution That Obregon will benefit by the revolution the Manchester Union (Ind. Rep.) considers "well within the bounds of possibility," and while it feels that the secession perhaps started "over a question of state rights," it may spread throughout the country and end "in placing Obregon in the Presidential chair." To the San Antonio Light (Ind.) the recent events in Sonora "have no obscurity at all," but are "merely preliminary to a peneral movement to establish constitutional govern- Prices SURE! I PO Voi) THIMK I 1 I RESPECT FOR PATCHES The By EDMUND Team VANCE COOKE "HRMOUirai THE WAit" While the World War is changing human life around the entire earth, it is nevertheless being overlooked by the statesmen ftnd politicians. One of the Caesers kept a servant close by his side to remind him frequently that he was onlv mortal; now If Lloyd-George and Ijermer MiUerand and President Wilson could only be provided with phonographic attachments-to whisper hourly into their ears, "Remember the war!" current history would quickly take a different course.

Any candidate for the Presidency who will sincerely adopt as his slogan "Remember the war," interpreting that battle-cry in his speeches, will win the election. What was the war, at least as the peoples of the Allied nations viewed it? (The statesmen seem all along to have entertained "secret The war was resistance to autocratic aggression and to uthless, militaristic imperialism. It was a noble struggle to preserve the existence and rights of free peoples, and to deliver all nations, howosoever small and weak, from unwilling subjection to stronger powers. Its avowed goal was 1 he triumph of justice and democracy on the earth. These were the aims for which our soldiers fought and died.

As one epitaph in France reads: "When you go home, tell them of us, and say, For their Tomorrow, we have given our Today," Because wo believe that the struggle sought to redeem Tomorrow from Yesterday, we sacrificed to it the choicest possessions of Today. In that faith, we called It a holy war. Not since Calvary has there been in the world a deeper sense of vicariousness and of sacrifice. Humanity reached glorified heights in those red days. Already, though, the politicians have forgotten the war, except as they lay petty plans to capture "the I soldier vote." Lloyd-George has put his foot I through every one of the "fourteen I points, which ho once solemnly uc-cepted; and the Tories have pushed new British imperialistic policies so hard that tens of millions of dusky peoples are in open, armed revolt against what they term "Britain's yoke." France, cynically and sordidly, has turned her gallant troops toward the reactionary expedition into Odessa and later to Syria and Cilicia, while simultaneously following a "hard" policy along the German border.

Italy has reached out grabbing hands toward Jugo-Slavia, Dalmatla, Albania, the mainland of Asia Minor and the Agean Islands. Greece has conducted herself toward the acquisition of spoils in Thrace and Turkey in a manner that has disgusted even her like-minded European associates. America, which entered the conflict full-handed and came out with empty hands, has played partisan politics with tho essential issue of the war and has turned her back on her own avowed aims. All have forgotten the soul of the war. The world needs a new Lincoln to cry aloud, solemnly and majestically, "Let us here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain." To keep faith with those who lie beneath the crosses, row on row, we need to livt life up to the level of our glorious yesterday, when all of us, rich and poor, high and low, offered ourselves to the cause of a new, free, brotherly world, wherein ari cient wrongs were righted, and mercy and justice were to abide as ministering angels.

If society is not to go to smash, we need to remember the war In all of its noblest meanings.

Editor THE EVENINO NEWS: FAVOR SOI.niEK HONIS Kir: Shall the proposed bonus for di chargod soldlem and B.dlors be granted At the convention of the United Statt Chamber of Commerce now being held Atlantic City apparent opposition Is beln made against the proposed bonus for a honorably discharged soldiers and sailor This opposition Is causing quite a deal I discussion already among- the several or Canlxatlona of veterans of the late war. Why should organizations such as thes now In convention take such views con cernlng the topic that Is so vital to all 0 those who offered their all, yes of truth, their very life's blood so as to prt serve those rights that these organiza tlons now cherish and possesH? Surely n-selfish Interest is their motive. I writ as one who was In active Bcrvlce and the opinion of others who were liltewis comrades In arms. That the American people ore guilty extravagance Is a well known fact. Sure' It Is not the opinion of this conferem that the opposition set forth is to be use as a means to combat or solve this gref national problem.

This resolution now bi fore Congress should rather be endorst by bodies of men such as theso rather tha opposed. Almost without a. dlssontlt vote, the posts of the American I.egh throughout the nation have favorably e. dorsed the resolution. To Amerlot Legion stano's for "America First," sure then If this proposed bonus is to be det) mental to our national ltfe, as the Unit States Chamber of Commerce states, would be entirely out of order for orga izations consisting of those men w' fought that our national Ufa may be pr served, to uphold the resolution offers Have bodies of men such as those In convention at Atlantis City, ev thought what a bonus meant? Many ganlzatlons such as railroad oompan.

manufacturing concerns and so fort, annually give large bonuses to hoso i their employ. Have labor disturbances unrest resulted from such? Have the ever been the tneans by which the sma Investors have made their fortunes? a truttv bonus now proposed for tho who were in the employ of this, our gre. nation, should receive the heartiest su-port of every true hearted American cl izen. Labor today Is a vital phase of natloti life. Every one has his duty to perfor: The proposed bonus should not be look upon-a a matter for or airatnst labor r.i.

again as a matter for or against caplti The spirit of the opposition now given 1 this Chamber of Commerce appears be latent although not exactly expressf as being In favor of capital. Such, I again, should not be tho case. The bom does not have the monetary value as li chief phase. There are many featui other than that such as Instalments it government lands. Thousands of aci are available for discharged soldiers have more, than repaid the governme by giving this golden opportunity to the who nobly served their country.

Again also there are tho-sands maintaining their war time insu anoe. This feature of the bonus Is vital one in this respect.

But, regardless of its nature or its results, it is indicative of one very important thing a growing conviction in the minds of the people that they hold in their own hands one of the chief weapons with which to hammer down prices, that of buying power.

The campaign shows realization of the fact that refusal to buy will decrease the demand below the supply. And oversupply must, in the long run, bring lower prices. One of the greatest agencies of high prices has been extravagant, reckless buying. Price has come to mean nothing to many people. Saving has become a forgotten word.

America has been on a spending jag. Prices have never been so high, true but neither have the sales of fancy articles, luxuries, silk shirts, jewelry, lace hose, et cetera ad infinitum. There are signs of a changing condition. The ultimate result of a widespread overall movement would be an increasing use of old clothes, an added respect for patches, the giving up of luxury buying and the saving of money, rather than the spending of it. Such a sentiment would be a real stride toward lower prices.
