To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: That league would have been formed
in any case in due course is undouhte d
league of England, France and Italy. to
which other countries would probably nave
had some relations but in which control
would have lain in the hands of these
three nations. bound inseparably together
by years of united struggle and by the
need for common protection.
And this is. in fact what this union of
sentimental idealism on the one hand and
practical, intelligent diplomacy on the
other has brought forth, with the addition
that it gives to England. which, by securing
admission to the league OF "dominions and
colonies will have five votes. the deter
minntion of the size of our naval and mill
tnry forces their control in all international
affairs and tho right to dispose Of them when

The President as Non-Idealist

The President as Non-Idealist
To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: AS one who has sat at the feeo of
some true idealists the writer would like
to protest most vigorously against classify
ing Mr. Wilson idealist and confusing
his utterances with any system of ideulism
whatsoever.
All idcalists, from Socrates to Josiah
Royce, have a certain common temtera-
ment. They are primarily interested in and
devoted to the truth. This causes the
ldealist such to subordinate his own
personality to the claims of the truth, and,
therefore, all genuine deaists are Of ne
cessity modest, retiring and humble
Furthermore, all dealists are concerned
with ideas. They live in the world of ideas
as the world of ultimate reality. But Mr.
Wilson'S he concerned with ideas? Why.
after all these years that he has been
prominently before the world, it is still not
known what his ideas are, if, indeed, he
has any.
The truth is that Mr. Wilson is a nomi-
nallst or verbalist with sentimental ten
dencies. He believes not in ideas but IN
words. Like the voodoo man, he believes
that there is some magic in mere phrases.
If one phrase does not accompli n the
thing he has in view, possibly an her
will. Will not the papers kindly refrain
from calling Mr.. Wilson an deaist?

an international trusteeship which re-
quires intermediary ownership.
That is not the case with the United
States. We seek no territorial expan-
sion and no economic or political advan-
tage in becoming a mandatory to back
ward nations in Europe, Asia or Africa.
The only part of the word in which
the mandatory role would be of practical
benefit to us is the Western Hemisphere
If we exercise police control in Ar
menia, Syria or European Turkey. the
service will be disinterested 1t will be
sacrifice to altruism 1t may be
sacrifice which we ought to make In
that case the United States will not
shrink from making it,
But there are nations in the Western
Hemisphere as backward as Armenia and
Syria are. Under the Monroe Doctrine
we have assumed mandatory relations
toward Hayti the Dominican Republic
and Nicaragua. If the Monroe Doctrine
is universalized to the point Of disap-
pearance, would it not be advantageous
to have our mandatory rights in this
hemisphere confirmed before we begin
mandatory experiments in another
hemisphere? Naturally, any mandatory
activities in the western world would
fall to us. Yet if we go beyond our
present sphere without guarantees we
could not reasonably complain should
the European powers reenter it.
The mandatory proposition is two
sided; and both phases ought to be kept
in mind.

Seattle, Wash, February %.

Seattle, WASH, February %.
NOWN on South Third Avenue, near
y the Seattle depot" there is one of
those open-faced markets charac-
teristic of this mild and mellow town.
Even when Puget Sound mist is blowing,
it lowers windows and closes doors.
For, after the fashion of the markets of
Seattle it has none-none at least that the
East would recognize.
1t looks prosperous. AS matter of
fact, it is prosperous-$70S, 900 being the
business it has done for the past six
months. 1t boasts a goodly smoke house,
slaughter house and a sausage factory
that can turn out 5000 pounds of product
day, and it runs a vegetable market on
the side. 1t occupies the space of nine
ordinary stores.
The point is. that this Cooperative Food
Products Association is owned by Seattle
trade unions
The further point is that here we have
convincing evidence of the power and
solidarity of labor which took another form
of expression in the general strike
large part of the 10000 union and
non union men who quit work were full
Of desire to vent their feelings in short
rebellous holiday. Another large part
some of it overlapping g-were wrought up
over the case OF the shipyards strikers,
and to them it was n sympathetic strike
Ntlll another large part-and it, too, over
tapped with the other groups-were imbued
with sense Of trade union loyalty and
trade union power. They wanted to demon
strate that much -vaunted, but not always
visible thing-the solidarity of labor Bit
tery as they feel the opprobrium of "Bol-
shevism," which Mayor Hanson fastened
upon the strike, they are the only group
of strikers who have come out with real
sense of satisfaction. They feel and saw
that II the strike accomplished nothing
else 1T doesn't seem to have accom-
plIshed much besdes-it demonstrated the
solidarity of Seattle labor They claim
that while the streetcar men went back to
work before the strike was called off. and
part of the teamsters, too, on the whole
labor not only came out of the strike
cleanly and completely, but that it showed
how powerful and essential labor is to
city, and that it "stuck" in the face of un-
precedented attack. That, they say, proves
the solidarity of Seattle labor.
That meat market proves it, too-the
meat market and a grocery, q bakery,
newspaper, a laundry, labor temple and
an embryonic bank
Cooperation is an old story in England
and on the Continent 1t is an old, but also
sad, story in America. 1t has not thriven
here. Individuals have tried to organize,
but there has never been enough necessity
or enough desire in the separate individual
and The projects have largely lapsed In
Seattle it is dfferent-for just one reason.
Seattle labor has waxed so large and so
confident that it has acquired the habit
of digging down into its pocket every time
anything desirable heaves in sight When
the problem of the discharged soldier be-
came pressing, the labor unions voted to
assess each member ST for relief fund;
$4,000 is already collected and $4,000
more is on the way.
The meat market started out of a strike
of the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and

The Coming Tower
The Highly Respectable Senator

After "The Highly Respectable Gondolier''
I read the Covenant DER and DER
The Pact of the League of Nations
To highly respectable Senator,
Who was yersed in international lore,
And patriot to his very core,
And these were his observations:
"I never was one to flcer or fout
A notably high endeavor
OF that there is no manner of doubt
No probable, possible shadow of doubt
No possible doubt whatever"
"Does it mean," asked, "the end of war,
OF squandering lives and dolars?"
That highly respectable Senator
Arose and fastened his office door
And spoke from the deeps of his wisdom's
Substantially as follers:
"This Prohibition means a drought,
Intrcpidly I assever.
OF that there is no manner Of doubt
No probable, possible shadow of doubt
No possible doubt whatever"
He cleared it up, as I've said before;
He studied it and he scanned it.
This highly respectable Senator
The weight of his giant intellect bore
Upon me hard for an hour or more,
And thus I understand it:
Search in and out and round about,
And yOulI discover never
A Pact so free from every doubt
All probable, possible manner of doubt
All possible doubt whatever.
"The Presidents ignorance of the terms
of the covenant" said Senator William AL
den Smith, "was amazing" II the Presi-
dent recalls Senator Smiths investigation
of the Titanic disaster and his remarks
about the water-tight compartments, he
might consider Senator Smiths praise ap
probation from Sir Hubert.

Make this lotion for very little

An attractive skin wins admira-

the girl or woman whose face and
hands show evidence of constant care
enjoys a tremendous advantage over
those who do not realize the value
of a healthy skin and spotless COM

At the cost of small jar of ordi-
nary cold cream one can prepare a
full quarter-pint of the most Won
derful lemon skin softener and COM

juice of two fresh lemons into a bot
tie containing three ounces of orch
ard white. Care should be taken to
strain the juice through fine cloth
so no lemon pulp gets in, then this
lotion will keep fresh for months.
Every woman knows that lemon
juice is used to bleach and remove
such blemishes as freckles, sallow-
ness and tan, and is the ideal skin

Just try it! Get three ounces of

two lemons from the grocer and
make up a quarter pint of this
sweetly fragrant lemon lotion and
massage it daily into the face, neck.
