Carranza and the Protocol.

1t now develops that Carranza has re-
fused to ratify the protocol Of the
Mexican Atlantic City conference. which
was sent to him by hand OF his com
missioner after signature IN this coun
try. He is sticking at "a question of
form rather than of fact. the intimation
being given that the first chief with
holds his approval not so much because
he finds the terms of the agreement i'm
possible as because he feels that the
declaration of the United States has
made 1t inconsistent for him to accept
it without in turn defining the position
OF his government. In other words, we
are to have more literature on the sub
ject. This probably means delay, al
though it is pointed out that it will not
be necessary to send the protocol back
to Mexico City, or Queretaro, or wher-
ever the first chief may have his head
quarters, inasmuch as Am bassador Des-
ignate Arredondo has the power of sig
about the matter SO long as conditions
in northern Mexico remain disturbed
and the American troops are still there.
The only urgency III this whole Mexican
situation is for the Carranza government
20 develop sufficient strength to restore
order, which that government does not
about delay is that, the United States
continues TO be under heavy expense
for the maintenance of troops in and OH

any improvement in the situation south

tongue anywhere. As the spirit has

any of political nature. He would
hardly fit in a cabinet place, or in an
ambassadors place. Neither the Senate

would, feel amply rewarded Tor his time

Preparedness and the Army.

The statements made by Gems Scott
and Wood before a Senate committee
yesterday as to what the country needs
in the way of an army will rouse the
paclhcists to fresh protests "Heavens,
If those two men mean anything is it
not the establishment of real militarism
IN America If their advice is taken
Shall we not see the country turned into
an armed camps And then, with 50
large Il force qualified to wage war,
should we not be urged into. and find
ourselves in, war in no time?'
Still, there are things plain and in
eontestable. The subject under discus
sion is preparedness. That We are I'M
prepared for war is beyond dispute. Es-
pecially is our condition ashore manifest
10 all. As has been suggested, it is prob
ably better known abroad than at home
Countries prepared for war, and making
1t point of keeping prepared, have
been keeping tab on us. They know to
gun and a man what we have in the
form of military equipment; and how
little they think of us in our present
condition is shown by the difference
between their condition and our own.
Now, on such subject, who has bet
ter right to be heard than the two men
who were on the stand yesterday They
have been trained i'll arms. Gen. Scott
is a West Pointer; Gen. Wood a recruit
from civil life. Both know their bust
ness. 1t is their business to know their
business. The country expects it of
them, and rewards them for faithful
ness. In ease of war the country would
rades to save it from destruction. Should
It not ponder deeply, if it does not
wholly adopt, the advice they gives We
may all be sure that they speak in per-
feet sincerity. and after bordering mat
tiers deeply themselves.
Naturally, our army officers have been
applying the lessons learned in their
studies Of home affairs. They speak
now with a larger sense of military val
.ues than formerly What seemed ade-
quate in the matter of the national de-
tense short time ago no longer seems
30; and, of course, they know fully the
necessity of putting, and keeping, the
country abreast of the times.
When a man is sick he sends for an
educated and experienced physician,
and, if wise, takes the treatment pre-
seribed. Just now Uncle Sam needs at
tention, and should have the benefit of
the best professional skill obtainable.

District Workers Paw.

When the House appropriations COM
mlttee framed the legislative bill it was
stated to be its plan to include the 3
and 10 per cent horizontal pay increase
provision i'll all of the measures reported
from that committee, and that the same
advance would be provided for in all the
money bills, regardless of committee
jurisdiction. This, it was stated, was to
include the District bill. But before the
District bill was reported, the House
adopted rule which opened up the
whole subject of salary increases. with
the possibility of a higher rate of ad-
vance, and the appropriations commit
tee adopted a waiting policy so that the
District bill appeared without the hori-
zontal increase provision.
The Districts municipal service is in
as urgent need of salary advance as the
federal service. The salary scale at the
District building remains as it was when
IT was instituted years ago, although the
work imposed upon the clerks has in
creased in difficulty and responsibility
and the cost of living has advanced 1t
is just as hard for the District govern
ment employees to make both ends meet
as for those in the government depart
ments under III" present pay scale and
economic conditions. There should be
no discrimination between them in this
matter of salary REIMBURSEMENT
If the House adopts, as an amendment
to the legislative bill. broad. horizontal
increase provision covering the entire
federal service and the District of Co.
lumbia, there is no need of specific en-
actment in the District bill If, how
ever, the House adopts merely federal
service amendment or one limited to the
scope of the legislative bill the District
bill should be similarly amended in the
House by specific enactment In view
Of the change in the appropriations com
mittee's plan caused by the adoption OF
the Henry rule there should be assured
action to grant relief to the undergrad
District workers. The District. which
has an abundance of means to permit a
justly liberal increase in the pay scale,
owing to the failure of Congress to ap-
propriate to the full point of its reve-
nues, should not fall between the two
stools of committee and House action

Peace and an Extra Session.

If peace negotiations in Europe take
definite form soon, will an extra ses-
sion Of the Sixty fifth Congress become
likely?
There is the tariff question. England
and Germany should be back at work
again in no time. Neither has suffered
invasion. The wheels Of their big in
dustries have not been stopped by tho
var. Some products have been changed.
But change from war supplies back
to former peace supplies can easily be
made. Skilled workmen in both coun-
tries are still numerous. There will be
q race for business-for regaining old
markets, and opening new.
Longing eyes will be cast this way.
We areGpow richer than ever before, and

but most earnestly solicited. Bargains
will be offered. BUY now, a-as buy ~
u.s." The cry will swell into chorus.
We ought to supply as far as possible
our own wants. The home market was
never worthier of protection. Home in
dustries needing encouragement were
never worthier of it. They do not enjoy
it under the existing tariff law, which
had failed before the war began, and,
of course, is wholly unsuited to these
times.
Our revenues are running behind. We
are facing a huge deficit, which. unless
steps are taken TO wipe it out, is bound
to grow. Our money needs are great,
and should be supplied. Reductions
aud skimpings at this time would not
be economy.
Our program is larger than supply
ing the home market. We want to slim
ulate production to the point of en-
aiding us to greatly increase our trade
in foreign markets. where we shall meet
the liveliest of competition. Particu
larly should we cultivate larger bust
ness relations with our southern friends
IN this hemisphere. Overtures have
been made and responded to, and the
field awaits our cultivation.
There will be anything but smooth
sailing in the next Congress, for even
should the democrats organize the
House their control will be by the slen-
derest of margins. The tariff question
when introduced will. as usual, bring on
warm contest Both protectionists
and -protectionists will wrestle for
advantage in much the old way, though
developments at home and abroad since
the Underwood law went into force have
given to the general tariff question
some new. surprising and very difficult
angles which both sides must meet.

Bryan and Billy SUNDAY.

Not the least interesting story now
current Is one 10 the effect that If Mr..
Bryan succeeds in making prohibition a
leading, or the leading, issue in 1920,
and secures presidential nomination
with that issue in his platform, Billy
Sunday Will take the stump for him.
That would make, all viii concede. a
lively combination.
The two men are friends. They adj
mire each other. Mr. Bryan regards
Mr.. Sunday as great influence for good
In the field of morals and religion, and
Mr.. Sunday regards Mr.. Bryan as a
great influence for good in tho field Of
morals and politics.
Mr.. Sunday has never offered the pub
lie advice on economic problems. What
his views are on the tariff, the trusts,
the currency, or a merchant marine is
not known. Neither has he taken the
public into his confidence on such prob
SENS as so-called imperialism and pre-
paredness. But he has very pronounced
views on prohibition, and they are in
full agreement with those entertained
by Mr.. Bryan. Hence the gossip that
IL Mr.. Bryan succeeds in subordinating
economic problems in 1920 in favor of
q vigorous and direct thrust at the drink

gagements for the time and lend hand
