Until June 1, Take Your Pick at Only 10c Per Book

To introduce our library of 20 books to a million readers we

offer any of the following books at the unheard-of price of 10c each. Many of these books would cost from $1 to $3 if purchased in the ordinary way in expensive bindings. This is strictly a limited offer-good for only 30 days-on June 1 the price goes back to 25c each-the regularly advertised price. If the post mark on your envelope shows that your order was mailed after midnight of June 1, we shall be obliged to return your money. Order as few or as many as you like they are the best in the English language-and the entire library costs so little that you can well afford to order every book. Over two million of these books have been sold-tremendous production makes possible the extremely low price. Order by number-each book is preceded by a number-for instance, if you want Carmen, merely write down" 21"-that makes it easy for you and insures more prompt delivery as we handle all book orders by number.

born at Caracas, was educated in Spain, and went to France at the time of the Revolution. In the United States he saw the workings of free institutions.

When he went back to his native land, he started a revolution there, so that there might be deliverance from the Spanish tyranny and the establishment of free institutions in South America. A year later Venezuela declared her independence, but many years of warfare were necessary before Venezuela and the other South American provinces were able completely to throw off the Spanish yoke.

Bolivar's first great triumph came when he was able to unite Venezuela with New Granada, and thus form the Republic of Colombia out of the two states, of which he became President. He then expelled the Spaniards from the neighboring provinces of Ecuador and Peru. The new state which he formed out of what was known as Upper Peru was called in his honor Bolivia.

His successes led to much jealousy on the part of inferior leaders, who accused Bolivar of struggling merely for personal supremacy and of a plan to unite all South American countries into one state and make himself perpetual dictator. It is true that Bolivar often acted arbitrarily; it is also true that he was stubborn. He did succeed to nearly unlimited control, but he died practically penniless. He refused the immense sum which Peru bestowed upon him and the crown that was offered to him. "I am not a Napoleon," he said, "nor do I wish to be one. The title of Liberator is the greatest to which a human being can aspire."

Bolivar was more than a mere liberator. He framed the constitutions for the South American countries, purified their administration of justice, roused slug

gards from their lack of patriotism and co-operation, and replaced anarchy with more than a semblance of civilization.

STATUE OF GENERAL SIMON BOLIVAR, IN CENTRAL PARK, NEW YORK CITY This statue, by Mrs. Sally James Farnham, is the gift of the Venezuelan Government to the United States

He dreamed of uniting the former Spanish states in a United States of South America. He was thus the first Pan

American.

PRESIDENT HARDING'S MESSAGE: TAXATION, AGRICULTURE,

TRANSPORTATION

[ocr errors]

HE President's Message to Congress, commented upon briefly in last week's issue of The Outlook, deserves a fuller report. His proposals in regard to the foreign policies of the United States are discussed in an editorial in this issue. It is sufficient perhaps to say here that the President sees clearly the fact that peace cannot be restored by the simple process of signing a treaty with Germany. Negotiations for the restoration of peace must involve the establishment of agreements with our Allies, agreements which will not only affect the protection of our vital interests, but will also insure the payment of

just reparations for the destruction wrought by the Central Powers. President Harding believes that we can participate in economic adjustments without the sponsorship of treaty commitments which do not concern us, by a process which may be called the selective approval of the Versailles Treaty.

In domestic affairs the President's Message covered a wide field. He began with an appeal for the strictest economy, coupling this with a demand for tax reform, tariff revision, and the creation of a Federal budget system. The President says that we are already committed to the repeal of the Excess Profits Tax and that it is a fallacy to believe that a flood of imports will cheapen our cost of living. In the President's words, a flood of imports "is more likely to destroy our capacity to buy."

In particular he points out that American agriculture is menaced, because it is to-day cheaper to import farm products than to transport them from our own farms to our own markets. An example which the President might have cited in support of this statement can be found in the condition confronting the potato growers of Maine. To-day they are unable to dispose of last year's crop, while potatoes are being imported from Denmark in large quantities. The President states that while the producers of food are suffering from a restricted market the retail price of food has not been lowered to the consumer.

The President discusses in his Message many phases of the transportation problem. He declares that freight-carrying charges have mounted to a point where commerce is halted and production discouraged. He links the problem of public highways with the problem of the railways, and urges the establishment of a carefully thought out system of highway construction and repair. The President asks that Congress, in extending Federal aid for the building of highways, shall see to it that these highways are constructed in accord with a careful programme and the best engineering knowledge, and that highways shall not be built without ample provision for their maintenance and repair.

Connected with rail and highway is the problem of water transportation. The President recommends that the country write off the war cost of its present merchant marine, and that our fleets shall be valued at a figure which will make possible commercial competi
