I am out of patltnee with the Amrrlcnn I-earlon and any """if' nrsanlaatlon that Is ao supine that "111 stand for foreign domination.

May 20. 1921 Paying Debt With Art To the Kdltor o thr ."tenlno 7'uMfr L'dacr: Sir More and more thla country la bev eomlna- the haven for the ureal works of art of the world. It lia been said that President Hnrdlns favora the .stabllshment ot n ministry of arts. If this Is true, can t we start som.tlilnir ana request me to pay the billions they owe us with their vast art treasures and establish on Ameri can national gallory, thus foitcrlmr tho de elopmcnt of art in thla country? Wo don't ned the monoy th. Allien ow. us, so why not let tnem nav. n in eicnou for some of their art mastorplecca, offering; them a Boodly price nnd th- prlvlleae of luylnu them back within a reasonable time If thoy prlio them so hlfthly? Germany could thn pay tho Allied indemnity, in part. In kind, under a Ilk. firreement. This plan, torether with that of formor Senator Heridit.'s namely, to hae Knf laVd and France paynthelr debt to us with their Colonial possessions nearest our borders seems to be an equllahl way to solvo tho International debt problem Q Philadelphia. Mav W 1021 A Rap at Mr. Edison To the Editor o the KvciiliiD I'ublic l.fdaer. Slr it would bo Interesting to know what salary Mr Hdlson pas tho renll who nro nblo to answer all of the questions fertnlnly no man who had completed less than a ery complete course In liberal art rnrt hod then taken a compl-le onBl.ieerlnK course could hope to do Justice to such a group of qucatlrna. I speak from a par ticular knowetdiro of the technical questions asked, The technical Information necessary to do Justice to Mr. Bill son could come only frbm a wide contact with various manufacturing- industries. sf hae talked to a score of persons on this subject within th. last few days and their condemnation of Mr. IMIeon .has been unanimous. It la a certainty that he has lost much Of the popularity which has been attached to him nnd really made him an American character. It seems evident that Mr. Edison has acquired some very peculiar Ideas to to what education really means. Mr. Kdlson has never published widely the very capable aasletance rendered him by tho group of scientists emplnted In his laboratories and to whom much of glory alven to Mr. Edlruti Is due. And I bcllev. that the records of Mr. Edison's business will show that tho college men have really made his business. W. I ANDHrtSON.
