PEACE THROUGH VICTORY

IF any representative of any beliger-
ent country desires seriously to lay be-
fore us any proposals we are ready to
listen to them"
Thus spoke the British foreign Sec
rotary for foreign affairs in the house
of commons yesterday.
Every government opposed to the
central powers will indorse this state
ment. But every one of them will un
derline the word seriously" The day
when German peace officers, such as
they we're could be taken ~seriouly
without substantial guarantees is
wellpast. Even Russia probably would
not play in that game now, though the
capacity of the b%olshevist statesmen for
selfish deceit is considerable. But the
German government never made defn-
lite proposals, France, England and the
United States have. In return we have
had the reichtag majority resolutions
against lamentations and indemnities
which we're promptly pitched overheard
as soon as the folly of bolshevist Russia
made annexations and indemnities pos
sibilities. We have had the naked law
of conquest in Russia and Rumania.
We have had the surreptitious parley-
ings of Carl. But be have had nothing
which would give footing for the hope
that Germany has any intention to alb
ate one jot the extreme demands which
her military success at the moment de
mands to justify.
Naturally the allies are not looking
therefore, for serious proposals which
they could sonsider seriously. That is
why we hear everywhere among the
foes of the central powers the

VLADIVOSTOK PILED

Greater Part Was Shipped
From Vancouver During
ROmanOf Regime

Vancouver, B. c., Feb. 23.-The city
of Vladivostok and the district sur
rounding it to a distance Of three miles
are piled several feet high with all
kinds of munitions Of war, railway
equipment, automobiles, and in fact ev'
ery conceivable article, the greater
part of which was shipped from the
port of Vancouver during the Roman
off regime. few months ago there
were several Canadian and United
States railway engineers trying to as
semble the rolling stock, but the ma
iority of those men have either left or
arc now leaving. So declared ]. How
den today to a representative of the
province.
Mr.. Howden, who has just returned
from Russia, is a veteran Of the South
African war.
His opinion Of the Russian is not a
very high one. There is, according to
the statement he made, graft from the
Baltic sea to the Pacific coast. The
Russian seems to live, move and have
his being in that word, and that is one
reason, he declared, why the country
has retrograded to such an extent.
Trotsky and Lenine are not the men,
he stated, to undertake the govern
ment of country like Russia. Though
he may have certain abilities, Trotskys
training in the kitchen of a big hotel
in New York is not the sort of train
ing, said Mr.. Howden, that fits man
to handle a territory like Russia.

Senate Passed Bill Yesterday
Without Division and House
viii Rush Action

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Washington, Feb. 23.-Within ten
days Director General McAdoo will be
armed with the broadest possible pow
ers to run the country's railroads.
This appeared certain today as the
house continued to hurry the railroad
control bill to final passage. The senate
passed it late yesterday without roll
call, after long day of wrangling. As
the measure left the senate it appeared
certain that it will not take long to
reconcile the differences between the
house and senate bills in conference. The
house is to pass the bill early in the
week and the conference will take but
a few days.
The bill as it passed the senate ex-
pressed the views of the administration
faithfully on every point save one
treatment Of small competitive rail
roads.
Kicking over the traces at that, even
the senator's in charge of the bill vot-
ed to bring all short line competitive
roads under the benefits of government
control to save them from disaster.
The administration wishes to include
those actually needed by the govern
ment. But on everything else, the SEN
ate went along with the president and
gave him practically unlimited powers
to set aside laws, to initiate rates, make
