THE U. s, FLAG AS CAUSE OF
"STRIFEn

One of the bits of evidence brought
out in the investigation of an alleged
insult to the United States flag by a
nurse at the Rutland hospital was the
statement that, following the alleged
insult to the flag, the American nurses
in the institution brought in a small
United States flag and set it on the
table in the dining room, which action
was followed by the move of the super
intendent of the hospital in removing
the flag on the grounds that its pres
ence would cause strife among the
girls" The superintendent action
seems to have been ill-advised. OF
course, it is the duty of the superin-
tendent of hospital to keep amicable
relations among the nurses, to prevent
"strife" whenever possible; but when
it comes to the banishing of the United
States flag as step toward the preven-
ton of strife" it is time that a halt
in such methods should be made The
Rutland hospital is an American insti-
tuition, located in decidedly American
community and in the United States of
America; so the United States flag
should have place there if in any in
stitution of the country. The flag
should, of course, be honored, in the
Rutland hospital as in every other hos
pital in the United States; and ii
should not, either directly or indirectly,
become source of strife" on the part
of the persons connected with the insti-
tuition.
There were, no doubt, other causes
leading up to the possibility of the cut
break of strife" on the part of the
girls in the hospital, and perhaps the
American nurses were not entirely
blameless in the development of the i'll
feeling which is said to have existed
between them and the Canadian girl
who was charged with making the in
sulting remark about the United States
flag 1t is said in defense of the Ca
madam nurse that the alleged insulting
remark was spoken in jest but it still
remains that the girl refused, when
given an opportunity, to make apology
for the statement accredited to her,
whereupon the fame of i'll feeling burst
forth and developed until it involved
the superintendent, who is herself a
Canadian subject.
1t is unfortunate that such situa-
ton should have developed between
subjects of the two countries which are
probably the most closely allied in all
ways Of any nations in the world The
United States and Canada have much
in common; the people of one country
have great admiration for the people
Of the other country; and the two ma
tions flor virtually Canada is a nation
by ITSELF have lived together in marked
harmony. There should be mutual re-
spect for the flags under which the peo-
Pile of the two nations live.

It appears from letter written by
United States Senator Carroll S. Page
to Martin S. Villas of Burlington that
the junior senator from Vermont is not
a thick-and-thin supporter of reserva-
lions Of the treaty Of peace and might,
perhaps, be counted upon to accept
compromise between the reservationists
and the straight ratification side, for
he says that if the people should study
the treaty they would see that there
must be reservations or interpretations
before it can be made safe for this
country to ratify,' In fact, Senator
Page goes quite ways toward accept
ing the viewpoint of the straight ratif-
cation side for the latter is said to be
willing to accept interpretations, even
mild reservations of the treaty as
drawn up at Versailles. No doubt the
people of the country would be willing
to accept interpretations as compro.
mise or they might go little further

WAT WILL BECOME OF THE
EMPLOYER?

Says The Triton Gazette:
The assertion by Secretary Of Lab
or Wilson that Congress must provide
work for the unemployed brings up
the question; What about those who
will not work?
Never in the history of the country
have wages been greater demand
for men who are reliable and who viii
work. Yet the country is full or IDLE
men; men who will not work, or
when they work at all, will only work
enough to provide for the davis needs
II is safe to say that today there is
job for every man in the United
States who Is willing to work. EN-
pioyers are bidding against each
other, paying prices they cannot af-
ford, in order to meet the demands
Of their customers. Yet they see every
day idle men, young and old, who
either turn deaf ear to offers of EN-
ployment, or else take job today and
drop it with he first pay day.
For this condition the government
is in part responsible. Under the pre-
sure of war necessity, plants engaged
in government work paid three and
four times normal prices for labor
first-class prices for every indiffer
cnt labor. The result was that the
government WAS compelled to employ
two men to do the work that could
have been done by one, for many OF
the highly paid men would only work
about half time Before the close of
the war was situation was bad enough
but when many OF the government
plants shut down. it grew acute. Men
who had been feasting on cake are
not content with a bread diet, and
rather than go back to normal work
at normal wages, quite a number pre-
fer not to work at all
