Increase the Police Force!

Washington's police force has not
kept pace with the growth of the city.
Though of the best quality, it has not
been large enough to meet the local
needs for many years. Successive in
creases merely served to bring the
force closer to the point of adequacy,
and were not in proportion to the
growth of the capital in terms of in
habited area and population. When
the war broke the arrearage was con-
siderable, despite repeated pleas for
engagements, and the influx of new
corners for the war emergency left the
force far behind. Furthermore, the
war drained the force. Many of the
men went into the service, and it was
impossible to secure others to replace
them The pay did not attract men
to the ranks. The service conditions
were not easy. Recruiting for the
force was for time hopeless, and it

The Merchant Marine.

Chairman Hurley of the Shipping
Board has been ON the other side for
some weeks looking over the maritime
situation, and is now on the eve of
sailing for home. In an interview in
Paris he expressed himself encourag
ingly on the subject of an American
merchant marine. This is taken from
the eabled story:
@Mr. Hurley said he felt certain that
the American people had determined
to have and to maintain merchant
marine sufficient in size to make il
certain that they would not be de
pendent on the shipping of other ma
tons for their foreign trade, and that
the demand for such a shipping pro-
gram was virtually unanimous"
This is true TO the letter. Upon an
American merchant marine, indeed, de
ponds the policy of an increased for
eign trade, and upon the success of
that policy depends the hope of in
creasing our prosperity and strength
q world power. We must have Ameri-
can bottoms for carrying American
products; and, once we get them, every
thing can be speeded up to give them
business sufficient to justify their ex-
istenee. There is no subject today
more interesting in this country.
This is another paragraph from the
story:
'Mr. Hurley also said that within
the last sixty days he had secured
much information on the construction
programs, operating problems and gen
eral plans of the other maritime pow
ers, and that the information obtained
had particular reference to the ques-
lions now under discussion in the
United States. He feels that as a re-
suit Of his investigations he viii be

Vietors' League or World League

Two vital questions concerning the
league of nations, to be answered at
Paris, are: u When will the present
league of nations, composed of the
victors in the world-war. and frankly
controlled by the five great associated
powers, dilute the iattcr's power of
control by the admission of neutrals
into the league? and % when viii the
dominance in such league of the VIC
tors, modified by the admission of neu-
trails, be, in effect, surrendered through
the admission to the league on equal
terms of the vanquished nations!
The league of nations viii doubtless
retain its present form until peace
of victory and justice has been estab-
hshed that is satisfactory to the victors
and that is based on foundations
which promise 10 endure. The victors
have disarmed the vanquished. They
viii not disarm themselves or return
arms to the defeated, or divide power
with the vanquished, until they have
rearranged the world territorially on
the lines of justice, as they define JUS
tice, and have definitely fixed the main
principles of the new international
law, including, perhaps, the provision
of a court to decide certain interna-
tional disputes, with power of some
sort to enforce its decisions.
The victors. for example, will retain
their controlling power until they
have brought a peace of victory and jus
tiee to Russia, to Poland and to Czecho-
slovakia. Until the Russia which
saved the world in the early days of
the great war has been identified
among the many claimants to be
the real Russia, and has been blessed
by the grateful allies with peace and
order and self government, the worlds
peace for which we fought will not
have been won. On "safety-frst" prin-.
eiples the victors Will not disarm or
abdieate control of the league of ma
tons by dividing representation in it
on equal terms with the defeated ma
lions, until they are sure of the efficacy
and permanence of the safeguards
which they have created against wars
speedy recurrence.
The victors' league of nations will
promise a future world-league of ma
tions, based on universal assent, as
soon as it can be safely and wisely
put in operation. But today the victors
must bear the responsibility alone of
making righteous worlddeeisions and
of enforcing them upon the vanquish-
ed, if necessary, by victors' might.
Americas noble function in today's
Paris conference is to emphasize the
factor of justice in a peace of victory
and Justice; to influence its associate
vietors to exercise maximum of wise
seif-restraint and self-denial in i'm
posing terms upon the vanquished and
in remaking the map of the world. If
the vietors' league uses its power wisely
and justly the foundations will be laid
for a continuance of the righteous
peace of Paris indefinitely through the
decades. When the victors' league loses
its NARROWER to enforce this peace,
the burden of enforcement may fall
upon the promised league of all the
civilized nations of the world. CO.

Poland RecogniZed.

Recognition hy the United states of
Poland rs an independent state adj
vances the organization and establish
mcnt OF that new member OF the fam
lily of nations. Yet it is anomalous
to style Poland a newcomer in the
ranks of free peoples. The Poland Of
today is but a revival of the Poland
of old, though in greatly changed
form.
Time was when Poland was one of
the largest and most powerful of the
states of Europe. Its area was extern
sive, its position well established, its
power was great But it never had a
good form of government. 1t was
loosely knit, troubled with excessive
privilege and given to faction. Its
ultimate downfall was due to its in
ternal weakness. which became more
marked as the neighboring states grew
greater. Unable longer to withstand
both domestic and foreign strains,
it crumbled It's partitions were
the result. finally causing Poland to
disappear from the map save as. a geo
graphical term.
Nevertheless, the spirit of Poland
survived and not all of the expressions
visited upon the people could quench
it. In the Austrian portion alone was
there any approach to hberality of
treatment, and that was because it
suited the policy of the dual empire
to play the Poles off against the other
nationalities comprising that hetero-
geneous composite. In Russian and
German Poland alike the tyranny of
the rulers was an outrage upon civil
cation. In later years the German op
preston went particularly to the point
of denying the right of the people
to use their native speech. a form Of
cruelty calculated to keep alive the
very spirit which it was sought to
crush.
There is friction now over the ques-
ton of what is to constitute the new
Poland Impetuous activity by the
Poles has led to protests by the Czeeho-
slovaks, by the Lithuanians and by
the Germans. Warning has been
sounded from Paris that precipitate
efforts to stake out claims in any of
the areas of dispute will not advance,
but may retard or prevent, delimitation
according to nationalistic aspirations.
This warning will probably put an end
to military enterprises that might
prejudice the cause of Poland.
Whether Poland gains the sea at
Danzig is the most important question
before the peace conference with re-
gard to this new state The ethnolog
zeal claims of Poland to the valley of
the Vistula are strong. The fact that
if granted they viii cut off the people of
East Prussia from the body Of the
German state is an barrassment.
Suggestion of misunderstanding has
been advanced. It will not be salts
factory to the Poles, who hold that
they are entitled not only to their own
seaport, but to full control of the ap-
proach to- it, and that in their CONNER
ciai outlet they should not be put I'M
der the handicap of concessions, but
should enjoy their freedom of inter
course as right. Tenderness for the
people of East Prussia as against those
of Poland is hardly likely to be mani
tested at Paris if the historical and
chronological claims of Poland are sub
stantiated before the Paris council.

That such action is being taken is indicated by the receipt in Nenana this morn ing of two wires, one from the Alas ka Bureau of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce and Commercial Club, and the other from Governor Riggs, urging the local Commercial Club to join in the general invitation which is being extended to the secretary by Alaskans to visit the territory this summer.
 Immediately upon receipt of the wires, President R. s. Mcdonald sent the following message to Secretary Lane:
