ticipation in these efforts by act Of
Congress.
IL. The international commissions
to carry the terms Of the treaty into
effect--some Of them under the
league and others outside it-may
be appointed and set to work. The
Senate's reservations relate to con-
troll by Congress Of the method Of
appointing American representa-
tives on these commissions. They
also require the assent Of Congress
to any regulation of German trade
with the United States.
Taken all in all, the reservations
do not wreck the covenant in any
sense. Its heart has not been "cut
out" It can do without any material
obstruction the work which the con-
ference sketched out for it. The
reservations merely remove certain
antiquities and excrescences on the
original plan which the Senate finds
inimical to the best interests of the
United States.

The Sugar Mystery

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Will you be good enough to
throw some light on the situation con-
fronting us regarding sugar?
For those of US in the service, re-
Gently returned and homes unsettled
there was no opportunity to lay in any
supply. With wife i'll, to obtain the
sugar needed by my little girl l have
tried various stores, but could get onlv
very little, and now not any.
The candy stores and soda fountains,
with their syrups, are f1ourishing but
no sugar at any price for my child's
cereal, etc.
Why is this dcplorable condition and
when can we hope for some relief?
I cannot understand why there is not
a big outcry against such forced denial
If the condition is general, for the ex-
cuse of nation at war has passed
yet l am told the shortage is create,
than during the war
Thank God the league is now out OF
the way. Possibly some of our own
troubles may be adjusted and further
ones averted that are actually at ou1
doors. DONALD BLACK

MIR. Lodges Personal Proposal

In his statement expressing a de-
sire for the American people to pass
next year on the reasonableness and
the propriety of the Lodge reserva-
tions Senator Lodge ignores the fact
that such a submission would mean
postponement of final action for a
year. The proposal thus seems i'm
practicable, no matter what it's
abstract.
Senators Borah and Reed, it will
be recalled, asked for p1ebiscite,
being willing to ego to the bat'' in
defense of their ideas, but it was
voted down by the Senate and is not
backed by any considerable public
demand. 1t may be assumed that
neither the Senate nor the public
has changed it's mind. With respect
to the treaty, the people are to be
rated as satisfied with representa-
tive government.
The Lodge proposal is likewise of
doubtful value, because to have the
reservations a campaign issue would
distract attention from other ques
tions pressing for solution. More
over, there is an honest desire to
consider foreign relations with as
much dsassociaton from partisan
politics as is possible. 1t would be
impossible to keep partyism out Of
the discussion if the treaty were
thrown into next years campaign.
Therefore Senator Lodges per-
sonal suggestion is not likely to be
accepted, and it is to be feared that
it's net effect will be to encourage the
Senator's critics to charge that he
thinks in terms Of politics rather
than of patriotism. Already halloo
to this effect is heard.
New-York tribune., 1919-11-24

realize that it is as necessary to
think straight as to feel right. SO
they become fools, and, with the best
intent, do exceedingly i'll.
There should be some special insti-
tuition to which the parlor Bolshevik
could be sent to be educated. We
have the penitentiaries for those
whose morals are decadent, but we
do nothing In a definite way to en-
large the mental horizon Of those
who blandly ignore the fact that
what counts Is not what q person in
tends, but the natural consequences
of his acts.

South American Vexations
the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: We are receiving frequent let
ters from Rio de Janeiro calling at
tcnton to the appalling delinquencics
in the postal service between this
country and Brazil and also pointing
out the whip hand we possess in con-
trolling the situation if we would
adopt a retaliatory policy in the mat
ter Of coffee import, for example
These complaints could be duplicated d
in regard to our relations with every
other panAmerican country without
exception, all Of whom use us for their
own purposes and impose on US no end
of veXatious restrictions and humilia-
tons because Of their deep-seated con-
viction, founded on long experience,
that we will stand for all this and not
retaliate.
might also instance the vexatious
restrictions now imposed on intending
visitors to the Argentine, whereby it
is obligatory for holders of our own
passports to obtain from an Argentine
consulate police certificate stating
that they have not been convicted dur
ing the previous ten years "for otfenscs
against social order," and judicial
or communal certificate Of sanity
which must state that the holder has
not been a vagrant. After complying
with these absurd and vexatious re-
strictions the intending visitor will
then find when he calls at the Argen-
tine Consulate he must also have six
photographs to ornament the various
documents, which will then be leisurely
prepared. 1t is therefore obvious that
possibly the Argentine authorities. in
their desire to exclude Bolshevists and
other undesrables, are rather over
doing the thing and that little firm
ness on the part Of our Department of
State in making representations as to
the irksomeness Of these requiremen nts
might secure revision of them.

The Real and Its Substitute

Said Clemenceau in a speech to
the French Chamber Of Deputies in
December, 1918:
"If Great Britain, America, France
and Italy had agreed to say that
whoever attacked one of them would
be attacking the whole world, this
atrocious war would not have
occurred.
"The system Of alliances, which
do not renounce, shall be my guild
ing thought at the conference if
your confidence sends me to it, SO
that there can be no separation in
peace of the four powers which have
fought side by side"
The union Of the four powers, or
at least of the three most powerful
of them, is still the basic condition
of any league Of peace in this gen.
Grafton. This fact has been OBJ
scured by the attempt of the Presi-
dent to found the league on another
principle and by his neglect to
press the treaty for the association
Of Great Britain, France and the
United States; and further OBJ
scured by debate In Washington
over secondary matters. But
Clemenceau rang the bell of truth,
and time has shown it.
1t is Of relatively small conse
quence whether a decorative league
is set up by covenant whose exact
meanings it is difficult to find two
men to agree about; it is Of su-
preme Importance to have close
union of peace guardians. Let no
one proclaim allegiance to the
peace project or boast that he is
friend Of future tranquility who
would not keep together the part
ners brought together by necessity
and whose sacred alliance was
cemented by mutual sacrifice.
At most the covenant takes but
hating step toward organizing the
world for peace. Indeed, if occur
rerces of the last six months give
sign, the debates of the council
and the assembly, like those of
our Senate, may make for discord
rather than for harmony. Such
being the case, why is the Admin
istration and Mr.. Taft's organiza-
ton so little interested in the real
league which is offered and which
Great Britain and France have
already joined?
New-York tribune., 1919-11-24
Pussyfooting

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The announcement that tho
National Woman's Christian Temoer-
ance Unions campaign against tobacco
Will be one of education, not legisla-
tlon. suggests question::
Since it chooses to war against al
cohol by campaigning for pronibitive
legislation is it.not fair presumntion
that, given the psychological moment.
1t will drop its Educational methods
against tobacco and strive to have it
also banned by legislation?
That this is fair presumption il
seen by the fact that at the national
convention Of that organization held at
Washington, D. c., year or more ago.
IL was unanimously voted to demand
mat the government forbid thereafter
all sending of tobacco in any form to
the boys in uniform.
Clearly, their program is one Of
pussyfooting; and all devotees of Nv
Lady Nicotine should take due note of
this = N
