Time Flies

CRITICISM, which has been attributed to
- members OF the American peace delega-
tion over the delay in getting the peace con-
ference under way, may be assumed to be
guarded in tone, and by no means hostile
AT the same time it is believed that 1t echoes
in no small degree the disappointment exist
ing in this country. and growing, over the fact
that the conferees have not got down 10
business.
1t does not MEAN literally, of course that
nothing has been accomplished. On the con-
trary, President Wilson himself has been
able, through his conferences with the Pre-
miefs and other statesmen OF Great Britain,
France and Italy, to define the broad grounds
upon which some Of the principles enumerated
by him can be discussed and applied at the
peace conference, Now that this has been
done, however, the world generally will wait
with increasing impatience the actual as
sembling OF the conference
Under other circumstances perhaps, there
would be no such demand for prempt action,
but, as has been said by others, the present
situation in Europe is one in which a race
is on between Bo}shevikism and disorder, on
the one hand, as against opportunity for or
derby reconstruction on the other. The sooner
the peace is framed, provided 1t is founded on
broad principles OF right and justice, the
sooner the forces Of orderly reconstruction
can get to work. The longer the delay the
harder will it be for these forces OF law and
order to overcome the spreading wave Of
Bolshevikisn.
Viewing the situation from -this perspee-
tive. America is perhaps in better position
than some OF It's allies to appreciate the
danger of delay. Kaowing, too. the anxiety
of the people to get the troops back home,
it may be imagined that the feeling In this
respect among the nations that have beep
much longer in the war must commend itself
to the allied governments as a reason against
unnecessary delay

especially with the plan for specifying
return of > 1-2 per cent upon the in

said, means the underwriting by the

OF this country. Such a plan means
this country's entrance into paternal-

serving as directors of corporations in
which they are not financially inter-
