IT ACCOMPLIsHES NOTHING

In its passage Saturday of the reserva- tion relating to the Monroe Doctrine the senate accomplished nothing that had not been done before and equally as well by the covenant itself. In fact the passage of number of the reservations seems to point to a determination on the part of the op- position to cumber the treaty with enough dead wood to kill it.
 Article 21, Part of the treaty reads:
 ''Nothing in this covenant shall be deemed to affect the validity of interna- tional engagements, such as treaties of ar bitration or regional understandings like the Monroe Doctrine, for securing the maintenance of peace." That is the ar ticle to which the reservation mentioned applies. It is simple acknowledgment, for the first time officially by those for eign powers signing the treaty, that the Monroe Doctrine is valid and that "noth- ing" shall affect that validity Only an un- reasonable man could desire more.
 But the senate by its vote is not satis- fled with it. The reservation it adopted reads:
 "The United States declines to submit for arbitration or inquiry by the assembly or the council of the league of nations pro- vided for in said traety of peace any ques- tions which in the judgment of the United States depend upon or relate to its long established policy, commonly known as the Monroe Doctrine; said doctrine is to be in terpreted by the United States alone, and is hereby declared to be wholly outside the jurisdiction of the said league of nations and entirely unaffected by any provision contained in the said treaty of peace with Germany"
 The reservation neither adds to nor takes away from the provision of the treaty regarding the Monroe Doctrine It is just stuck in there like boil on thumb, to cause as much irritation as possible.
 The reservation to Article p, Part I, of the treaty, is equally superfluous. The manner of assignment of mandates as set forth in the first paragraph of the said ar ticle is as follows:
 ''To those colonies and territories which as a consequence of the late war have ceased to be under the sovereignty of the states which formerly governed them and which are inhabited by peoples not yet able to stand by themselves under the strenuous conditions of the modern world, there should be applied the principle that
The weekly Alaska citizen., 1919-11-24

THE ALASKA CITIZEN, FA1RB the well being and development of such peoples form sacred trust of civilization and that securities for the performance of this trust should be embodied in this covenant.
 ''The best method of giving practical effect to this principle is that the tutelage of such peoples should be entrusted to ad- vanced nations, who by reason of their re- sources, their experience or the geograph- ical position can best undertake this re- sponsibility, and who are WILLING to accept 1t, and that this tutelage should be exercised by them as mandatories on behalf of the league.'
 Beyond offering mandates to member states of the league, the council has no power in that connection. Further, the covenant specifically states that only those nations whose peoples are willing to accept the responsibility will be chosen to act as mandatory powers. How the people of the United States, or any other nation for that matter, express their willingness to accept a mandate is not for the league assembly or council to decide and has absolutely no bearing on the treaty itself. For the sen- ate to say that such mandates shall not be accepted, if offered, except by the express permission of the congress concerns Ameri- ca alone, and could have been made tho rule without inserting it in the treaty.
 It now seems probable that the treat will have to go back to Paris before it can become effective. The adoption of so many reservations, some of them in reality and all of them being in- cluded in the body of the treaty indicates that such action will be imperative. If it reopens the whole discussion, it may yet be months before any decisive action can be had.
 There is also room for question as to how the emasculated treaty will be receiv- ed by our allies. It is not altogether i'm possible that Europe may decide to go it alone in the league of nations proposition in its original form. Premier Clemenceau, in one of the last speeches he made in the French chamber of deputies declared that the league could live without America. And in case of refusal by the allied powers to recognize the senate reservations, they are in position to declare that the treaty with Germany is effective insofar as it concerns Germany and those who have already rati- fled it.
 To do so would force America to ne- gotiate a separate peace with Germany. And beyond all doubt many of the opposi- tion senators realize such a possibility as being within range. In fact, Senators Knox, Johnson, of California, and Borah, have been courageous enough to condemn the present treaty as wholly bad and stand out for separate peace. The adoption of so many useless reservations indicates that they are working hard to achieve their end without the necessity of having to directly vote to kill it.

COAL FOR FUEL


 It was recently reported in Fairbanks that unless this district would contract to use 2,O00 tons of coal this winter, or at least have that amount hauled during the winter, Engineer Browne, of the A. E. C., will decline to put the track across the Tanana river at Nenana, thus leaving the jgap between Fairbanks and the Nenana coal fields unclosed The Citizen has not been able to either verify or have the re- port denied but it has at least learned enough to show that there is some founda- tion for the report.
 We can understand that Mr. Browne is not willing to throw money away and that he is not willing to make expenditures which might be called wasteful But we are inclined to believe that he is not taking the proper view of the case if he refuses to connect the steel to the coal fields unless the specified amount of tonnage is guaran- teed. In the first place, to make such con nection and take up the track over the river next spring might cost in excess of $1 ,000, sum insignificant in proportion to the total cost of the road. And by making a slightly increased charge for carrying both freight and passengers to Nenana in stead of dropping them on the north side of the Panama river at least portion of the expenditure could be covered even if not ton of coal were shipped.
 If the coal is of a quality that will make it desirable fuel, and all of Fair banks hopes that it is, MT. Browne need not worry about getting enough tonnage to pay for his track-laying operations. If it is not and cannot be used for all pur- poses, it should not be a policy of the com mission to force Fairbanks, or anyone. else, to load up on commodity which they can not use, or must use at loss, if used at all. Fairbanks should be able to get few cars of the coal for experimental use with out having to guarantee to buy winters supply. If MT. Browne feels that he is not justified in making provision for this, The Citizen suggests that the local Commercial Club give him what assistance it can by asking the department of interior, Mr.. Hallowell as choice, if it cannot find some way of sanctioning laying mile and one- half of track across the Panama river with out seeming to dictate to the railroad builders. Mr. Browne might feel hesi- tancy about going to the department with such matters which the local Commercial naturally cannot be expected to experience.

SEED CORN PICKING TIME NEAR
In another week or ten days the
time will be at hand for getting seed
corn out of the field. Under normal
conditions it should be gathered in
Iowa from about the middle of Sep
TENDER to October 1st, depending up
on local conditions.
There is every prospect for an
abundance of high grade seed in Iowa
this year. says H. ID. Hughes, head
of the farm crops section of the Iowa
agricultural experiment station. Con
ditions have been very favorable for
the growth of the. crop this year,
speaking generally and it is well
along towards maturity. All that is
necessary now is little extra effort
on the part of the corn grower in pick
ing his seed corn and doing it in good
season."
1t is common practice to select one
bushel Of good seed for about each 5
OF acres OF land that is to go into
corn, with some margin above that
for safety and to permit OF careful
testing and reselection in the spring.
