the immunity of private property at sea
ernains shrunken legal abstraction.
The programme which Mr. Wilson
stands for says the Post, "has nothing
whatever to do with the right Of naval
blockade or the definition Of contraband.'
Then it cannot guarantee anything but
shadow Of neutral sea rights It can
not make the seas any freer than they
were when the war ended, with all the
commerce Of the world under the military
control Of the Allies. ~
Every intelligent student Of interna-
tional law knows what a genuine free
dom Of the seas involves. A perfectly
clear statement Of the essentials of such
freedom was given in an article in the
April Number of The American Journal
Of International Law. It read: Free
dom Of the seas means abolition Of con-
traband and commercial blockades and
the right Of capture or destruction Of en-
envy merchant vessels" .,.,.,,sp
How could 1t mean anything less? That
is the construction Of the phrase which
the Germans have always had in view.
They needed freedom Of that sort. Had
they enjoyed it from August, 1914, on,
they would never have lost the war.
Does our government share this latl
tudinarian view of the freedom of the
seas, with its corollary of the abolition
Of navel power? Nobody can be sure.
Are our peace delegates to 60 to Paris
pledged to programme never revealed
to the American public?
! An explanation is due the people. It
is also due the Senate--a coordinate
branch Of the treaty making power. 1t
should have been given when the four
teen articles were first put forward as
the basis of peace which our government
favored.

We not only do not know what the

If the new world policy is one which

AMERICA ANDTHE WORLD POLICY

In one part Of his address to Congress
President Wilson said, with reference to
the naval building program recommends
ed for appropriations:
1T would be clearly unwise for us to
attempt to adjust our programs to fu-
ture world policy as yet undetermined"
We hope that the significance Of this
observation is one Of real indication Of
conviction in the presidents mind, that
it will prevail in congressional action,
and that it will be spread out to cover ali
the needs and prospects Of the United
States.
The presidents specific reference was
to the necessity Of going ahead with the
navy building program as devised be-
fore we entered the war. We could ask
for an amplification Of the advice to COW
or all the requirements Of the United
States, requirements which deal with its
own responsibility for the character and
security Of its citizenship
We not only believe that this principle
ought TO apply to the navy but that it
ought to apply to the army. We believe

CHRISTMAS JUDGMENT

Regardless Of the request of the State
Council Of Defense in its appeal for sane
shopping during the holiday season, the
people Of this neighborhood should be
guided by the uniform good taste that has
been more or less habitual for many
years. It should not be necessary to make
special point Of shopping wisely and
early.
The restrictions so gently imposed by
the administration may be dropped or
maintained matter. Citizens will
not fail to use judgment in the distribu-
tion Of puichase1 over the less busy per-
iod. Nor will they fail to buy discreetly,
choosing goods that are unitarian and
not overcostly.
! The Christmas shopping period is al
ways one Of hustle and preparation, and
it is not surprising that many delay their
visits to the stores until late in the sea-
son. Yet if we all delayed Christmas
would become nightmare, instead Of
the pleasant season we contemplate.
Each housewife can do nice duty by
voicing among her friends the need for
early and wise buying.

TAXATION m 1920

Mr.. Wilson has reiterated the opinion
OF Mr.. McAd0o that Congress ought to

gress than II the Republicans are allow

ter. -
We may suppose that II settled condi-
lions prevailed it would be preferable to
prepare our tax laws two or three years
ahead. 1p times of peace we always av-
oided that kind Of legislation. Now after
the war is over, now that the world is In
flux, it seems desirable from the Demo-
cratic point Of view-to legislate for the
future. l q
Mr.. Wilson's assumption must be based
on the idea that the Democrats are more
trustworthy than the Republicans in leg
islation Of this kind. The voters Of this
country chose Republican Congress. at
the election. In casting their ballots for
Republicans they expressed their faith.

voters and. not on Mr.. Wilson.
II has not been proved, moreover,

NOME MINES USING
 WATER FOR THAWINC

SEATTLE.-Use of water to thaw frozen ground in gold placer mining has recently been tried out with great success in the Candle region, Seward Peninsula.
 The innovation was the discovery of J. H. Miles, superintendent of the Alaska Mines corporation. A description of the Miles method, as given by George H. Kilroy, recently returned from Nome, states that the cold water is introduced through small pipes into the frozen placer ground is such a method that heat is extracted from it to thaw the ore. A Candle dredge, which used the method during the past summer ses- sion, is said to have cut it's cost of operation from 30 to 50 cents per cubic yard.

PICKING GENERALS

Already Republican clubs have
been formed boosting General Wood
and John J. Pershing for President.
After every American war soldiers
have been elected President, and the
Republicans, assuming that the same
rule still holds good, are early in the
field, stalking out their claims to both
General Wood and to General Per-
shing.
AS to General Wood they are TAX
ing few chances. The general has
been a voluble talker, and, in fact,
has talked to good effect on some
subjects. He is disciple of mill
tarism, however, and, like his poll
cal master, Theodore Roosevelt,
would have America step into Ger
many's shoes as military boss of the
world His views on other subjects
than that of the necessity of great
army are not known.
General Pershing is more of an un-
certainty. Unlike General Wood, he
has not talked-which doubtless ac-
counts for his present position. 1t is
assumed he is q Republican because
his father-in-law is. His views on
public questions generally are utterly
unknown.
Undoubtedly there will be strong
inclination to vote in 1920 for man
simply because he has worn the
khaki. There are tremendous ques-
tons to be settled in the coming few
years, however, and there is a wide
difference of opinion, even among
men who have worn the khaki, as to
how those questions should be settled.
General Wood and General Pershng
may prove to hold regarding those
questions the same views as the ma
jority of people. 1t would be decid-
eddy unwise, however, to tie to any
candidate however great his services
during the war, until his views are
known on the questions which must
be settled in 1920.-Wichita Eagle.

WHY SILENT in FACE OF

Claus Spreckels building:
~ notice by the papers that on the
day that the terms of the armistice
between the allies and Germany were
published, an attack of sciatica, from
which you have been suffering for
ten days, made it necessary for you
to retire to hospital, from which
retreat we have had bulletin that
your teeth have been pulled.

Wilson with an intention to sacri-
flee America for the benefit of the

to stir us to repudiate our pledged
statement of aims and to demand an
