A Great Lesson

"The New York World" says the
government ownership experiment
was "a great failure" but likewise
"a great lesson" This paper re-
marks:
"By whatever reason Postmaste
General Burleson was guided when he
returned the telegraphs and telephones
SO precipitately to their owners, most
people will approve his action"
GAS a deficit BREEDER" observes
The New York Tribune, "the postal
administration has some amperage,
but nothing compared to the railway
administration" The Tribune goes
on to say:
"Mr. Burleson has long been a loud
champion of government ownership
and operation. When the opportunity
came to take something over he did so
with great joy. Of course, he could
do better than knavish and inefficient
private owners who wallowed in lille
gltimate profits. Now he scuttles out
of his experiment with no advance
warning, more prudent, if not q
wiser, man. Many things, alas! do not
work per plan, and the doctrinaire
bumps himself against impediments

has dwindled to its point of origin
as result of the vain attempt by
radical aliens to inaugurate a wide
spread campaign for the establish
ment of a soviet form of rule.
The past week has disclosed the
fact that much of the finance for
the propulsion of the revolutionary
propaganda in Canada came from l.
w. w. organizations in the United
States. United States secret service
men have traced some $4,000 of
the money back to organizations of
radical character in this country.
Another package, which amounted
to $1,000, was discovered to have
originated in indianapolis.
That the Bolsilevist agitators,
foreign and otherwise, who organ
lied the Winnipeg strike will be
dealt with in the immediate future
is the forecast of Canadian and
Winnipeg officials. The agitators
are being rounded up.
Mayor Charles F. Gray, of Winni-
peg, made a formal announcement
to the effect that any further street
rioting of serious nature will re-

number of men for constable duty
has been increased and the city is
asking for another thousand.
Only sporadic attempts at riotous
demonstration have been made

an absence Of serious demonstration.

Passing the Buck

"The Buffalo Express" sees in the
hasty return of the wires "scheme
to pass the buck" of management to
the private owners, the Postmaster
General providing that they shall
stand by the rates he has raised.
An editorial in this paper con-
cludes:
"When Congress makes the final turn
over, the private owners may find that,
despite Burleson's Encouragement, they
will be able to get their companies back
into their previous state where divi-
dends were paid. Then we shall not
have increased rates foisted upon us
even while deficits are being made up
from the national treasury.

Mr.. Burleson has bestowed on the coun-

"The Chicago Evening Post" de-
clares the Postmaster General has
performed zone of the most coward
ly acts on the cowardly record of
bureaucracy" Aasailing McAdoo's
direction of railroad properties, this

mystery of the "treaty leak"
was quickly explained when
the Senate committee got to
work on its investigation.
Thomas w. Lamont, Of J. P. Morgan
e. Co., representing the Treasury De-
partment at the peace conference,
gave it to Henry P. Dawson, of the
same firm, chairman of the board of
governors Of the League of Red Cross
Societies, who loaned it to ex-Sen-
ator Elihu Root, who loaned it to
Senator Lodge. Having traced the
copy of the treaty back to its source
and proved that there was no bribery
or corruption, it is probable that the
investigation will stop.
Senator Root, who was a voluntary
witness before the committee, said
that the treaty having been made
public in detail by the German dele
gates, who had perfect right to do
SO, it Immediately became public
property and every citizen of the
United States was entitled to sec
the paper. He repealed and resented
the suggestion that he was in pos
session Of stolen property, probably
obtained by bribery.
Mr.. Dawson said that it was as chair
man CT the League Of Red Cross
Societies that he asked Mr.. Lamont
for a copy Of the treaty, because the
League of Red Cross Societies was
so closely intcrwoven with the league
OF nations. He hastcned to ada, how
ever, that he was also Interested in

Senators to defeat the ratification of

The lIou7o of Representatives voted

r. BURLESON'S eleventh hour
dropping of the telegraph
wires on the eve Of the
voted strike of the telegraph and
telephone workers over the United
States has resulted in perhaps as
great an amount of criticism as his
retention of them.
"The expected has happened in an
unexpected manner" remarks "The
Philadelphia Inquirer" which paper
goes on to observe:
"In supplementary statement Mr..
Burleson assures Congress that he has
not really dropped the wires. Oh,
dear me, no. He simply dissolves the
operating board appointed by him in
1918 and directs that the systems again
officials under government supervi-
sion.' In other words he has ceased
operating the wires, but the govern
ment has not abandoned responsibility
and cannot until Congress acts. Mr..
Burleson's statements and counter
statements are a bit confusing, but it
is clear that he has done something
and that something is to release his
hold on the wires.
"The Postmaster General seems to
have been just as much of a success
in handling the telegraph companies
as Mr. McAdoo was with the railroads
just that much and no more. The
former Secretary of the Treasury had
the grace to quit public life. There is
no indication that Mr.. Burieson has
any intention of following his example.
1t is to be feared that he is going to
hold on until the bitter end. Well, so
DC it. Maybe the Burlesons of public
life are part of the punishment we
have to pay for our national short
comings."

~ RGANIZED labor's stand on
u the subject of agitation
and lawlessness in America

and lawlessness in America
was strongly shown in
resolutions adopted at the conven-
ton of the American Federation of
Labor in Atlantic City last week de-
nouncing activities of alien instiga-
tors of bomb plots and their disre-
gard for law and order generally.
This action by the federated work
ers follows close on the heels Of
widespread demand for stringent
immigration measures or more
rigid enforcement of statutes
already in effect. Much talk of de-
portation for the alien radical has
crystallized to the point where
measures have been introduced in
Congress to broaden the govern
ments powers with regard to bar
ring the agitators and getting rid of
those already here. Newspapers
are emphatic in their demand for
action that will get the needed
results.
"Who let them in?" asks "The
New York Evening Telegram"
which paper crisply observes:
"The passionate desire of Kushnarev
and his $4,000 followers to return to
Russia is nothing compared with our
passionate desire to have them 90.
There is no room here for persons
who will not become Americans, learn

not the case. The immigration law

provisions for the exclusion of unde-

themselves on popular attention.
From the statute now in force it
will be seen that Congress has not

elaborate legal barrier against them
The enforcement of the act is in the
