THAT EDES LETTER

Had Chairman Edes informed the
secretary of the interior, in his let
ter explaining the railroad situation
in Interior Alaska, that the COM
mission found itself pressed for
labor during the past working sea-
son and had been forced to en-
ploy men, perhaps, in some cases,
untitled to the tasks assigned to
them, in order to carry on the work.
he would have hit much closer to
the mark. Chairman Edes must
know that. had normal conditions
obtained in the Interior mining dis
tricts last summer the low wage
offered by the commission for con-
struction work would have failed
utterly to attract oldtimers to the
railroad. They came only because
there was no other work to be had
and because the commission needed
them badly. And we have yet to be
advised by any one in authority
that the services of the 'old pros
pectors''. as Chairman Edes calls
them, have proven unsatisfactory.
The men accepted the low wage with
out grumbling and then gave very
large part of their earnings back to
the government to help win the
war. Had they contributed less Eber-
ally, they would have been better
prepared financially to face the sea
son of unemployment. and Wash
ington probably would not have
been asked to provide additional
funds to carry on the work.
Chairman Edes must be aware
that the railroad organization in
this division is now more nearly
Alaskan than it has been at any
time since construction started. And
he must also be aware that the work
is being prosecuted more efficiently.
The merchants and others of the
town of Nenana, for whom the
chairman says he has no especial
sympathy, have not at any time
oSLyoI r,ora ne +ba oon.ro;.c;oy tbon
they had a right to expect. All
that they ask is that Chairman
Edes fulfill the promises made, in
the name of the commission, at the
time Alaskans were induced to in
vest their money in town porperty.
They are not looking for sympathy.
They want merely a square deal.
AS for urging the prosecution of
work during the winter which can
be done more economically during
the summer, we are not aware that
such request was made. The men
tHdt pc PRIV
vided to continue work on which
they were already engaged when
the order came several weeks ago
to curtail expenses. The men reas-
oned that work which could be done
economically in December could be
done equally well and as cheaply
in February, and the milder months
of early spring. AS a matter of
fact. some of the work under way
this winter must be completed be-
fore spring, such as salvaging the
material from the abandoned right

Japan's Victory

The Shan-tung settlement at Paris is
a concession to the conceptions of prac-
teal craftsmanship. Japan entered the
war with the avowed purpose of ousting
Germany from her eastern Asiatic hold
ings. The japanese had a score to set
tie with Berlin. In Shan-tung Germany
was a close and undesirable neighbor.
SO Japan's interest conceded with her
treaty obligations as an ally Of Great
Britain.
She also covenanted to become the in
heritor of German claims in the north
Pacific. She wanted to succeed to the
economic concessions which Germany
had obtained from China. The Entente
powers promised her that succession. To
annul a promise of this sort would have
justified Japan in charging bad faith
and in withdrawing from the conference
Japan has agreed to restore political
sovereignty in Shan tung to China.
What she asks is economic priority. And
her request could not we'll have been de-
MED by those Entente powers which in
the past have themselves acquired not
only economic privileges, but also politi-
cal sovereignty, at Chinas expense.
The United States was not a party to
the Entente's compact with Japan. But
our attitude was determined by the Ishii-
Lansing agreement, made since the war,
which recognizes sort of Japanese Mon
roe Doctrine for eastern Asia We adj
NIT that Japan has certain privileged
status in the Far East, such as we have
established in the Americas. If our
delegates seriously insisted on a recogni-
ton of the American Monroe Doctrine,
they could not ignore Japan's pretensions
under the new Japanese Monroe Doctrine.
Japan had therefore a case to which
the vague generalities of the Fourteen
Points could not be successfully applied
She presented her case politely, but firm
ly. There was nothing for the confer
ence to do but to admit it's force.

The Police

We believe The Tribune's account of
the riotous commotion around Madison
Square Garden on the night of May Dav
produced wrong and unfortunate i'm
preston as to the behavior of the police.
There were instances of bruising and
beating which, taken alone, would move
the reader or the spectator to express
slons of protest, but if you take all the
instances together and then consider the
violent nature of the emotions that were
loose that night, the number of people
that had to be restrained from acting on
hot impulse and the possibilities for
tragedy that lay in the situation, the
casualty list was ludicrous. Fewer than
dozen heads were broken, authenticallv
reported, and there was not a single
fatality The soldiers and sailors were
unwilling the next day to make any
charges at all. They grinned and said
they had gone out for shindy and
hadn't been allowed to pull it off. That
was all. On the evidence entire it
must be admitted that the police hand
hing of delicate and dangerous situa
ton was very satisfactory. 1t would be
expected. The New York policeman is
still what he has always been-brave.
good-natured, human and Efficient.

To the Rescue of Petroprad

II Finnish army has taken Petro-
grad, as Paris reports, Finland will have
recovered in some measure her standing
with the Allies Of all the former seq
ments of the Romanoff empire, detached
by the treaty of Brest- Litovsk, Finland
was the only one which promised at one
time to become a serviceable German
ally and vaesal.
The Germans had no army of occupa-
ton IN Finland when the Brest- Litovsk
treaty was signed. They entered the
country only after civil war had broken
out between the Whites and the Reds.
The Reds, backed by Lenine, SOUGHT to
Bolshevize Finland. The bourgeois and
conservative element wanted to estab
lsh nationalist form of government.
The Germans interviewed to preserve
order and stamp out anarchy. The
Natlonalistic parties were naturally
grateful for this timely assistance.
Germany concluded treaty. of
alliance with the White government.
She also enlarged the Finnish state by
compelling Lenine to cede to it the Rms
sian province Of Garcia. In return she
claimed the assistance of the Firms in
conquering the Thurman province and
establishing a German naval base on the
lce-free coast of the Arctic Ocean. Fin
land was on the point of making war on
the Allied forces holding the Thurman
peninsula when Audendorff lost the sec
ond battle Of the Marine. That defeat
chilled Finnish enthusiasm for the Ger
man alliance and halted the journey Of q
delegation sent from Helsingfors to an
nounce his election as King of Finland
to Hessian Grand Duke.
Since August last Finland has been
working around to an understanding
with the victors. She has an army of
good quality, which can be of use in
bringing to terms the only armed enemy
of the Allies still holding out against
peace. Petrograd has been one of the
centres Of Lcnine's Infamous activities
1t is dangerously exposed, however, to
an attack from the northwest.
The Firms were recently reported to
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1919-05-04

have reached Olonetz, town a few miles
west of the Petrograd- Murmansk rail-
road. Olonetz is 40 miles northeast of
Petrograd. The evacuation of the latter
could easily be compelled by movement
cutting off its communications north with
Murmansk and Archangel and it's COM
muncations east via Vologda. Petrograd
is indefensible in military sense. The
Germans could have occupied it in 1917
or 1918 if they had cared to do so. But
they preferred to leave it in Lenine's pos
session. Now, without any great effort,
it can be taken away from him and re-
stored to civilized life.
The population has been reduced more
than one-half by massacre, starvation
and refugeeisn. The Allies have pro-
claimed their willingness to relieve the
victims of Lenine's barbarity in that
part of Russia which is still cursed by
his rule. The true way to relieve them
is to recover the territory which he
tyrannizes over. An excellent beginning
will have been made when Petrograd,
Russia's long afflicted capital, passes
under Allied military control
