During recent years, the American public has come to a quite are not wholly sucgeneral recognition of the fact that politicians cessful in handling public business. Politicians are inclined to exthe pend their efforts in pleasing the voters rather than servingtheir with themselves to rewarding inclined are busy people ; they followers with jobs; they like to do favors, in expectation of receiving favors in return. A business man, who could retain his viewpoint during a term of public office, would not take thepolitical attitude in public life. He would seek to serve the people in a permanent way, rather than cater to popular fads. He would seek to build up a public service busiwhich would permit government to become a return ness institution. He would feel that the doing of favors, in for past votes or future expectation of votes, would be a betrayal of trust. These considerations have been accepted generally throughout the country as applying to domestic government. But there are still a few persons who insist that men trained in business would be distinct failures if they attacked the institution known as diplomacy. International relations are popularly supposed to be fragile of things. Only great experts can be trusted with the handling and of State foreign the intimate details diplomacy. departments offices dwell in traditions, centuries old. That the common sense of a business man should attempt to deal with the problems of relationship between one nation and another, one people and another, is a suggestion which shocks many fine sensibilities. True, the very persons who express horror at a business viewPrepoint of international business are the ones who tell you that PoinM. ; mier Poincare has failed in international diplomacy and care was trained to public service. They are the ones who will tell you that it was Bismarcks mistaken politics which set the world on fire a generation after his time; and Bismarck was born and bred to statecraft. They are the ones who rail at Lausanne, at Geneva, at Versailles, and at the score of other places where diplomats have met and failed. have for genThe truth is that statesmen, real and state-craft. a mess of made terrible erations Perhaps, it was not some smallness of their fault. Perhaps, the diplomats made them unable to appreciate with true vision the greatness of the things with which they dealt. Perhaps, the greatness of some statesmen made them unable to understand the smallness of the little things out of which great things are made. The reasons are unimportant. The fact remains : Statesmen of their failure is written in a thousand have failed. The record wars, and the cost or failure has been paid thrnncrh the centuries by the dead who lie under the battlefields of all the world. And now comes a man who suggests that business men could do the job of statecraft better than the experts who have handled it. Not an unknown man, either. None other than Stanley Baldwin, prime minister of Great Britain. Mr. Baldwin, speaking recently at a banquet in honor of Andrew W. Mellon, secretary of the treasury of the United States, said that the business arrangement for the refunding of the British debt to the United States had been carried pleasantly and honorably. He continued: Neither the governor ?f the Bank of England (who participated in the negotiations) nor Mr. Mellon nor I had ever at any stage of our lives been members of the legal profession, and we were all three, individual and collectively, far more business men than we were politicians or statesmen. I have often felt that, had it been possible to leave the settlement of Europe in the hands of business men, we wquld have arrived at some settlement long before this time. Business men have been tried with good success in domestic business. Mr. Baldwin thinks they could be at least as much of a success in international business as have statesmen, past and present. His view is food for thought. The Dearborn self-operati- Sv. ' y L r. "'z:i fc'vw.

For ten years, we are told, a Russian immigrant has toiled in this country with the end inview to unite his family in this country. The task has been prodigious, the more so because in addition to saving the money needed, he must assist in feeding and clothing them there. Starving Russia was a reality to him, and the constant fear that his loved ones might be suffering was the torturing goad to increased effort and still greater privation on the part of the father that the day might come when, in this land of opportunity, they might be gathered about him and all enjoy the and freedom found only here. prosperity The day came not long ago. A daughter and her husband were yet m Russia, among those fed on charity. The relief agent who was the messenger of the glad tidings to the family in Russia reports they refused to come to the man evidently in fear of being compelled to work. America, Let Peter Reisel send food and money and we are well off in Russia, was the reported answer of the to the tendered transportation to America. or speculation as to human nature is opened in this incident !
