In addressing parliament, Orlando

Wilson'S statement which was
handed to Orlando on April IA, was

to suggest zone peace for Germany

Wilson had proposed the Island of

Paris, April 30.-Disquieting re-

conference between Premier Orlando
and Ambassador Page is said to have
not been entirely satisfactory Anti
American demonstrations are re-

reported to have gathered in front of

American flag be lowered. Regret

Italians are to decide today wheth-
er they will return to the conference,
according to adyices received at
Italian press headquarters. Re-
ports have been circulated that if the
Italians return they will be headed
by former Premier Luzzati, but press
headquarters are certain that Or
lando will resume leadership if they
decide to return. American officials
are confident that Orlando will be

PARCEL POST GROWTH.

In many cities it is being found
necessary to establish new parcel post
divisions in connection with the post
Office. In some cases special buildings
are being fitted UP for this purpose.
The enlarged facilities are intended
to accommodate an increase OF parcel
host mail which amounts IN some
cities to as much as 100 per cent in
the last three years.
This is a pleasing development.
Government and public alike rejoice in
every extension Of the useful parcel
post system, and do not grudge the
money required to provide adequate
quarters and clerical forces, since the
business amply pays for itself. The
only complaint anyone has to offer is
that the patronage does not grow
even more rapidly.
in comparison with the advantages
offered by this service, most citizens
are surprisingly slow to avail them
selves of it. This is particularly true
with regard to the shipping Of food
stuffs from producers to consumers.
The watchman and southron. [volume] (Sumter, S.C.) 1881-1930, 1919-05-14

and therefore the most suspicious
diplomats in the world, seem to have
been satisfied. And certainly no Amer
lean can say that Japan has ever
broken her word in her relations with
this country. The most serious dis
pute we have ever had with Japan is
an excellent instance Of that. Japan
is keeping her laborers out Of this
country not because Of any formal
prohibition but purely in pursuance
OF a "gentlenlans agreement .
And maybe, after all that is not
such a crazy way to handle interna-
tional affairs. Thousands Of explicit
agreements have been made scraps
OF paper" A gentlemanly nations
word of honor may be better than an

JaPANESE HONOR.

The japanese problem at Paris
seems to have been settled on a ba-
sis Of honor" Japan, while profess
ing her willingess to give the Shan
tung peninsula back 10 China. as in
ded she had promised ct the time she
took it from the Germans, was strong
only opposed to ass ~n;1g any definite
time for its return. She insisted that
any attempt to set definite date was
a reflection on her honor. And in
support OF that seemingly disinScn-
uous position the delegates argued
that Japan had never Yet broken her
word in her relations with other pow
ers.
1t was a bold claim, which any OF
the oth>r parties concerned, even
honest old Uncle Sam, might have
been embarrassed to repeat. And the
other parties could not dispute it, and
so agreed to leave the territory in
Japan's hands on that basis.
1t seems a risky thing, as nations
go, to leave the fulfIlment CT an OBJ
legation merely to a national sense OF
honor, without exacting a precise. de-
tailed program of fulfllment. Neiti'-
er nations nor individuals are accus-
toned 10 making their contracts that
way. 1t will seem especially risky in
this case to some Americans. who ha-
bilually express doubts as to Japan's 5

FOOLS AND THEIR FOLLY.

The May Day plans Of the Bolshe-
Wiki in this country, as revealed by
some of the men in their councils,
were extraordinarily ambitious. A
trusting Cleveland "Red" is credited
with the statement that the parad-
ers in his city had everything arrang-
ed as follows:
They were going to meet on the big
public square, converging from four
different directions, and seize the ad-
lacent federal building, then take the
banks and the city hall, providing
themselves with funds and proclaim
ing their leader mayor. At the same
tine a similar progam was to be fol-
lowed in several Ger big cities. The
West Virginia Bolshevlsts were to at
tack the penitentiary where Eugene
V. Debs is confined, liberating Debs,
taking him to Washington and install
ing him as president.
The Bolshevists We're convinced, said
this man, that more than 80 per cent
OF the people were with them in spir-
it, and that all that was necessary
was a bold move-the country would
succumb to Boishev;sm without a
blow
On May ,, as everybody knows, the
government at Washington still stood,
and every State and municipal govern
ment in the country s-ood likewise.
All that the bold Reds" gained were
heads broken and clothes torn by the
indignant public, with some slight help
from the police.
All Of which goes 10 show what ut
ter fools these Bolshcvists arc, and
how, precisely because they are such
fools. they are merely q nuisance IN
stead Of a menace.

THE MOST CARELESS spENDER

The outlook for the adoption OF
rational business methods by Con-
gress is somewhat better than usual.
The Chamber Of Commerce Of the
United States has strongly urged q
budget system for appropriations, and
many Of the more progressive con-
gressmen express themselves as ia
vcrable to the plan.
Certainly it is high time for such a
reform. The need has always been
great. At a time when Congress was
spending about 000,00O,00o a year,
Senator Aldrich estimated that by
businesslihe methods in the legisla-
tive and administrative departments
s3o0,0OO,oO0 a year could be saved.
Last year enough billions We're voted
to make even a Wall Street banker
dizzy. There is no expectation Of
the annual expenditure falling be-
low $4,000, 100000 for several years.
1t can easily be imagined what a
waste there must be in having these
vast sums apportioned according to
the grab-bag policy Of adnlinistra-
tive departments and the porN-barrel
methods OF more than so congressio:l-
al committees, without any serious
attempt, from start to finish, to har
,nonize and adjust the various claims
on the treasury and avoid duplica-
ton and waste.
Uncle Sam is the biggest spender
in the world. Maybe he doesn't spend
any too much money at that; but he
certainly ought to get more for
what he does spend. And he never
will until the House and Senate take
their cue from private corporations
and put their spending on business
basis.

Why has this traditional symbol of

is because the significance Of the haS

It is the Socialists themselves who

There is much agitation fo- legal
enactments against the red flag. The
Socialists would take that. naturally,
as proof Of persecution, and adopt the
