@Send a Shipload of Clothing to

Minister to This Country.

New York Send a ship
load of clothing to Serbia" is the
plea of Madame Slavko Grouitch,
wife of the minister to this country
from the new kingdom of Serbs,
Croats and SIovenes, who started
today an organized effort to obtain
from the American people the ma
terial desperately needed by the
Serbians.
Not only manufactured clothing
but cloth by the yard and especial
ly footwear is desired, according to
Nine. Grouitch, honorary chairman
of the Serbian Aid Fund Clothing
committee, which has undertaken
the task Of collecting the clothing
and which has its headquarters at
339 Madison avenue, this city. Ar
rangements have been made to re-
ceive there all express or parcel
post shipments. Transportation to
Serbia has been arranged through
the Washington legation of the new
Jugo-Slav kingdom.

Ul1ainians Fight Bolsbevism.

The convention In this city Of rep
resentatives from the centres Of
Ukrainian population in the United
States and Canada outlined for itself
the broad programme OF securing the
stability of the new Ukrainian State
by fighting Bolshevism. In this re-
spect Ukraine is confronted with much
the same problem rs Poland, the lead
ers IN both lands believing that they
must defeat the agencies Of the
Trotzky rule at Moscow before they
can gain for the new states the rec
ignition they desire.
The attempts Mt the formation OF
Ukrainian etnte have been to q
great extent disappointing to the
Ukrainians themselves. The country
which these people hold to be their
own was one of the most productive
Of Europe. The fertile black earth
region of the south was the granary
Of Russia; the uplands Of the north
rich in forest and mineral resources.
The peasants were as class land
owners and commonly considered the
most advanced in the Russian En-
pire, people, in fact who might
have been reasonably expected to be
genuinely DESTROYS Of the independent
government which their leaders hnd
long held up before them as the goal
of their national ambition.
That the country wns practically
taken from them by the Central Pow
ers through the terms of the Brest-
Litovsk treaty, and that It was being
built up into German vassal state,
were the results of military condi-
tons more than Of desire OF n ma
1ority Of the people. The end Of
German rule was welcomed by all
Ckrainians except the few who were
agents Of the Central Powers and had
become the heads OF n Government d.
rected and controlled by Berlin. But

order and dlsorganization which has
been fostered by Bolehevism and has
grown into the present peril to the

Democracy in Paris.

Inevitably the student OF history,
contemplating the formal opening of
the momentous Conference Of Paris
yesterday, compares this great gath
ering with the Congress Of Vienna,
which began 105 years ago. The pre-
liminary discussions among the great
Powers showed many interesting SINH
larlties; THE Sun has directed at
tention to some of these. But be-
tween the two assemblies there IS n
fundamental and potent difference
that must not be ignored.
At Vienna there met the sovereigns
and the plenipotentiarles of the GOV
erelgns Of Europe. Democracy was
scarcely recognized as force to be
considered, save as Great Britain's
statesmen represented II. Dynasties
and dynastic ambitions ruled gener-
ally the dispositions and ambitions of
the statesmen who composed that
great council.
But Paris presents different spec
tacle. There democracy, wearing In
some cases the form Of monarchy,
but actually registering the will of
free peoples, has set out to decide
the future Of the world. The word
Of the premier outweighs the dictum
Of him who wears the crown; the
statesmen look not to the royal palace
for approval and support. but to the
parliamentary bodies to which they
must ultimately render their reports.
Not from the courtiers do they seek
their guidance and their inspiration,
hut from the commons the final reck-
oning must be paid in the forum Of
popular debate, and not in the closet
Of king.
In no other way could the progress
democratic institutions have made IN
Z century be more wildly displayed
than by such a gathering as that at
Paris which the world watches with
hope and expectancy. The passing Of
authority from the few to the many
has been accomplished with astonish-
ing celebrity. The power Of the people
has been translated throughout the
world into an accomplished fact, and
its fruits are seen now in congress
whose members, charged with the
gravest of duties. owe their authority
to the free acts Of free men. and not
to the polite man9uvres Of irrespon-
sible rulers.

MIX Prices and the Remedy.

The settlement of the milk fight Is
along expected lines, The dairymen
are to have the price they demanded.
s4.O1 for a hundred pounds Of milk
this month, with reasonable reduc-
tons in February and March. For
the present the consumer will pay 10
cents quart, which Is about twice
ms much ~ the dairyman receives.
The farmers had the whip hand
because they were pretty well organ
lied. Again, they had some moral
weapons. Their assertions in regard
to the high prices they are obliged to
pay for feed and labor are undeni-
able. The New York dairyman Is not
always general farmer. This great
dairy State Is also a great hay State,
but the COW nowadays does not live
nv grass alone. Modern dairying calls
for the use Of a great amount Of
grain, and this is not n grain State.
1t does not raise one-tenth as much
wheat as Kansas, or one-fourth as
much oats as Iowa, or one-fifteenth as
much corn as Illinois.
When the Government guaranteed
So. &c q bushel for wheat, an act which
affected all grain and almost every
kind Of food, the New York farmer
dairyman was hurt rather than
helped. To-day to get grain for his
herd he pays to the farmers OF the
West about twice the normal price.
At the same time the artificial price
Of wheat is sending up all his living
expenses and keeping the wages of
his help far higher than they would
be If his employees had only normal
prices to pay for clothing and other
necessities.

Of the recent quarrel must necessarily
have come to the conclusion that milk
will remain at an abnormal price I'M
