Holland and the Ex-Kaiser.

Fortunately, Holland has quickly re-
considered in the matter of the sur
render of the former kaiser for inter
national trial, and already, it is stated,
the demand for his extradition has
reached the Dutch capital Persistence
in the initially reported disinclination
to turn over the former emperor to the
allies would have brought Holland into
a most difficult position of obstruction
to the course of justice. While force
could not have been used to compel
surrender of the person of the accused,
Holland could not have maintained it's
attituds without defying will tanta-
mount to law.
If, as reported, the acquisition for
his extradition-it is called a demand
in the dispatch-has already gone to
The Hague the acceptance by Germany
of the provision in the treaty for his
trial has been taken for granted. It
is bit difficult to understand the haste
thus indicated. Perhaps it is the plan
to secure Hollands acquiescence in ad-
vance of the formal signing of the
treaty, so that plans can be made for
the trial meanwhile and quickly put
into execution. This is desirable. If
the kaiser is to be tried for his crime
against international morality the pro-
cecdings should be started quickly and
soon finished.

The President and the Treaty.

Report has it that upon his return
the President Q) will address the Sem
ate at length on the subject Of the
peace treaty, with special reference to
the league Of nations; and (2) then
tour the country in advocacy of rati-
fication Of the treaty.
The first proposition Is very per.
suasive. There is nobody so well
qualified to explain the treaty to the
Senate as the President. He knows all
about its construction, and what its
constructors intended it to accom-.
plish. AS to all the details the Senate
is very curious, and entitled to the
fullest information. Moreover, by
making such an address, the President
would supply material for his friends
and supporters in the Senate in the
debate to follow. They would be able
to fashion their arguments after the
pattern he had furnished. And, after
all, the treaty IS TO stand or fall, so
far as America is concerned, by the
strength or weakness Of the Presidents
presentation.
The second proposition may be open
to question, and be questioned. There
can be no doubt Of the very great in.
terest the Presidents appearance on
the stump would arouse. Interest in
the subject is not lacking now; but
1t would be much increased by such a
direct appeal as the one suggested.
At every stopping place the speaker
would be greeted by throng-not, of
course, composed exclusively Of those
in favor Of the treaty, but Of friends

Congress and Harmony.

The Congress elected last November
is On the eve of assuming the respon-
sibilities then imposed. They are very
heavy. At no time has any party come
into control on Capitol Hill with a
larger order awaiting it. Both foreign
affairs and domestic affairs are of a
gravity producing the widest and most
intense interest-even anxiety.
Last fall the republicans were united,
and offered in their platforms and
stump deliverances assurances which
the people in large numbers accepted
at the polls. The voters remembered
that the republican party had in the
past proved itself possessed of a high
order of constructive ability, and they
decided to commission it to inaugurate
the work of construction the war had
made necessary. The time for action

The Price Scale Failure.


prices Of construction materials
through the agency Of the industrial
board was foreshadowed several weeks
ago when it was apparent that the rail
road administration would not accept
the schedule arranged by the board
after consultation with material pro-
ducers and consumers. Now the fail
ure is made absolute by the resigna-
ton Of the chairman of the industrial
board and an exchange of statements
~ him and by the Secretary Of the
c7eaaury SO sharply personal as to
leave no chance of restoration of
good relations or a revival of the ef-
forts through the present agencies.
It is most unfortunate that this
should be the result of an endeavor
which had for its object the stabiliza,
ton of prices to permit an early re-
sumption of construction work. The
initial idea was sound. The purpose
was a wholesome one. Though it was
generally recognized that there could
be no "price fixing" within the law
indeed, the Attorney General has indi-
Gated by an opinion that the effort
transcribed the principles Of the Sher-
man act-it was felt that there was
basis for an agreement that could be
accepted in the public interest with
out bringing the legal aspects of the
matter into consideration.
The breach between the industrial
board and the RAILROAD administration
turned upon the refusal of the former
to accept the schedule as arranged.
Secretary Glass in his statement now
alleges that the board proceeded upon
a wrong principle and attempts to fix
minimum prices for the public. The
chairman of the board in his statement
explaining his resignation raises the
question Of political motives, combin-

road corporations.
Obviously no further efforts can be
made through the same agencies to
stabilize prices. 1t is also plain that
no further effort along this line can
be made without involving far-reach-
ing personal changes in the govern
ment organization. Apparently, there
fore, the effort to secure stabilization
by agreements is at an end. It must
be written down as failure. This
is lamentable. The public is not so
much concerned in the question Of re-
sponsibility as in the lack of results.
The controversy itself as to who is to
blame for this inability to work out a
schedule of material rates, forbidding
early and confident resumption of pro-
duction and construction, is of small
moment compared with the fact that a
result making for great public benefit
has been negatived by q conflict Of
interests and, it may be, of purely per-
sonal opinion.
