It would be in peace. There is ap-
parently no question of Wilhelnan's
free will in the matter, and therefore
no question OF his moral and legal
responsibility. Such, at least, is the
judgment of the French jurists given
to Premier Clemenceau.
1t may be expected, then. that this

|soSGREss SHOULD GET ON THH


TIC nation has been getting out OF
patience lately with the persistent
delay OF congress in important wax
and reconstruction work.
The most exasperating case has
been that OF the revenue bill, which
ought to have been passed months
Just now there are two recon
:ssstruction matters in which the pub
zic IS vitaly concerned: Adequate
Irovision for taking care cf returning
soldiers by some such plan as Secre-
Lanes land reclamation program
supnlemented by measures for indus
trial employment; and provision for
payment of the vast body Of war bills
isaroIved IN sdnfosraal contracts
Tie latter is Of immediate and
xranseendent Importance There is
100 coo, 900 due American manu-
facturers ard held up partly b. gov
lSaental red tape and partly by
songressional failure to sanction
prompt yalidation Of the claims. This
matter was. supposedly near settle
nent when senate committee the
othe day threw monkey wrench
INTO the machinery by proposing an
entirely new plan, involving great ad-
sltsonal delay.
Congress by its representation in
this and other matters is making hard
nnaes It is subjectsng the nation to
period of industrial depression and
misfortune which could be almost
raolly avoided by prompt and en-
hghtened legislation. It is time for
congress to realize its responsibility
and get on the job.

3neE::.

Washington, Jan. 29.-Ru0lors
which have been current both in
Washington and South Carolina for
some time that one Of the leading
men Of cnat State would soon be ao-
pointed by the president to a posi-
ton ce the federal trade commission
or something equally as good, We're
partially confirmed here today when
the matter was brought to the at
tention Of Washington newspaper men
as being practically certainty.
The name Of the person who is said
to be in line for this position. which
would pay him a salary Of $4,000 a
year, is eor obvious reasons not made
public. He IS. however, already in
publ:c lifc and holds 2 high place

ILoYD GEORGES PROGRAM.

The platform on which Lloyd
George was Overwhelmingly endorsed
ID the recent British elections contain,
ed these seven pledges:
Trial Of. the Kaiser.
Fullest indenlnities from Ger
many
Abolition of conscription in az
lands
Britain for the British, socially
and industrially.
Adequate provision for return
ed soldiers, particularly for the Grip
pied and physically broken.
A square deal for Great Rritaiz:
at the peace conference.
A happier country for al.
with one or two possible exceptions.
this looks like a pretty good American
platform, too. Americans seem will
ling to waive indemnities. They are
pretty we'll ;.greed on wanting the
Kaiser tried for his crimes, wanting
Germany to pay in fu,l for the dam
age she has done TO neishboring coun-
tries, wanting militarism abolished
Everywhere, wanting America for
ABserscans,' adequate provision fo:
returned soldiers, a square deal Tor
American ideals ard a country that
Misl be happier than it used to be for
all classes of peopie-not merely the
II iNieged classes.
AS result of the definite stand for
justice, international and domestic,
taken by the British premier and his
feIiow-leaders, there is said TO be no
Boishevisn in England-nothing cor
responding to our l. W. W. movement
nothing but legitimate trades union
ism in industry. 1t viii probably be
Z the same in the United States if there
is similar policy OF fair play toward

Boston IS going to mobilize the poets.
Size has summoned them from far

piece and it VIII be decided what is

o noble Boston, willing to revive
the memories Of e,er revolutionary

e.nhattled farmers will be but the
puff OF a pop-gun compared with the
opening shot in the battle between
rhyned and free verse.
But let the fight go on by all means!
For in battling for the merits Of their
various forms doubtless many poets

and then who shall say that al IS
not done for the best?
