It contends Austria will bear a limited indemnity while seven newly independent states deserve their share of war liabilities for aiding the old empire and benefiting from postwar changes.
War Mothers of America condemn a shipment of German made toys arriving on the Dutch steamer Sloterdyck. They threaten action akin to the Boston Tea Party to block the sale of these toys, calling out their makers as brutal and unworthy of American children.
A noisy call for swift action to curb Turkish aggression and protect Greek civilians in Thrace dominates this excerpt. The piece also notes proposed weapon material trials and shifts in naval construction, while criticizing Germany and Britain over wartime losses and seized ships.
The article argues Germany seeks leniency not fairness, while Allies aim to recover damages and prevent future aggression. It cites Wilson’s fourteen points, the 1917 U.S. entry, and argues peace should be strict but not ruinous, with Germany ultimately joining the League of Nations.
An editorial argues fish prices in Boston are too high and warns that fish interests may quit Boston. It contends fish should cost near beef value since fish grow freely in the sea and require no raised feed or taxes, urging a market-driven check on pricing for the public good.
An editorial urges New Englanders to invest at home rather than in western ventures. It argues Eastern money built western cities and infrastructures, while Western banks offer looser terms. It contrasts orange and olive farming with apples and emphasizes regional advantages for local growers.
The piece argues that Soviet money collapse and runaway inflation erode the Bolshevik dream. It notes flour and butter prices in rubles, wages, and widespread factory idleness as the regime prints money without redemptions, turning utopia into ruin and bloodshed.
Austrian Foreign Minister Andriassy declares every Austrian bank bankrupt and industry ruined as rich men are impoverished. He blasts those who sought global conquest, saying they sowed war and now reap a harvest of hatred, with the world offering no sympathy.
