USE OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

A question has been raised in a near

school buildings for public purposes.
The point raised was that the high

THE PRESIDENT AT BOSTON.

President Wilson's Boston speech,
of the man. Returning from his con-
quest of Europe, he had lost none of
his fine temperament and vision. On
the other hand, if it were possible to
conceive of it, he appeared to have
grown in statue and faith. He appear
ed to rise higher in his idealism and to
present them with. even greater force
than has been his wont. 1t would take
a callous heart indeed not to warm up
10 the proud picture he drew of Ameri-
ca before the world in his Boston
speech. On this point the New York
Tribune, ultra anti-Wilson, says of the
speech:
No sensible person now chal-
lenges, or has challenged, the sin
cerity of the Presidents allegiance
TO the idea of organizing the world
for peace instead of for war The
war was to end war, and if this is
not completely possible, then to set
UP some bulwarkS for peace.
this, great indeed will be the fail
IRE. The discussion of the mo-
mentous problem must therefore
be lifted above the plane of per-
sonaities. TO do other than this
is to degrade Il theme almost as
lofty as that contained in the New
Testament.
Every sound American thrills at
the picture the President paints of
American motives which are sus-
pected by none. The pulse beats
faster to learn that so great com
pliment is paid to us by both the
European masses and their ap-
pointed leaderS-even of the coun-
tries with which we have been at
war. No similar confidence was
before the guerdOn of any nation
In the generalities and aspira-
tons expressed by the President,
although their tenor does not diff
fer essentially from his previous
utterances, it is possible to catch,
it seems, Il little more appreciation
of realities. There is q warmer
recognition of the views of our al
lies, livelier sympathy with them
in their deep trouble, fuller ac
acknowledgement that what we would
do they also would do, and with
greater reason. There is a happy
absence of any echo of the doc
trine sedulously preached by dis
trust breeders that the Europeans
are a selfish lot and need careful
watching In this respect the Pres
ident appears to have gained some
thing by his contacts, and, while
not less an American, to be more
internationally minded
That the speech made great i'm
preston upon the American mind is
easy to see 1t was not an argument
it was not an apology for motive be-
hind what he is trying to conceive as
the best plan for the worlds future.
1t was one of those rare presentations
in the way of message from the
heart to the thinking minds of the
Aside from partisan preju-
dice against it which is bound to exist,
the Presidents speech will mquestion-
ably make deep impression. 1t may
not convince doubling party oppo-
nent, but it may convert world.

'lte o1Sau.Iallon OF MS MltNeieuropa.
The Fate of the Four
New Nationalitie.
Poland, which we were going to
create, will have no outlet on the sea
Czecho Slovakia, which we have ere
ated, is without other than a German
outlet.
Hungary remains a German ally
JugoSlavia, mutilated at the behest
of Italy, inevitably will seek place
IN Germany's Mitteleuropa.
Rumania will have to choose between
Bolshevist and German, and her choice
will be easily made.
Az the present moment England, the
United States and Italy are engaged in
reducing French demands to the point
which Germany will accept.
England, with the German feet in
her possession and German CONNER
cial competition DESTROYED, has won
her phase of the war
Italy, with Trieste, the Trentino and
the Dalmatian coast in her possession
1ISllSH ana SAllGTlCdUS agreeing
that she shall hold these stakes, is
satisfied.
The United States, represented by
Mr.. Wilson, who has no other purpose
than to acquire Endorsement of the
league Of nations document by as many
European powers as possible, has won
English and Italian assent.
France has to choose between sign
ing Mr.. Wilson's document, which
leaves her financially ruined and mill
tarily defenceless and being immedi-
ately deserted by all her allies.
France May Arise and
Reject the Treaty
1t seems now that the Clemenceau
government will yield to outside neces-
stiles and make the sacrifices that are
asked of it. This is not sure. 1t is as
likely that the Clemenceau government
may fall at any moment and a patri-
otto wave sweep France and lead to a
rejection of treaty become abhorrent
in the minds of all Frenchmen But
whether the treaty is signed or not,
France, the French people, will neither
forgive desertion at this time nor
place the slightest confidence or reli-
ance in the document of the league CT
nations.
In sum, all hopes which were found
ed upon promises made in advance by
statesmen responsible alike for the
conduct of the war and the liquidation
of victory have failed to bind the Paris
conference in the presence of political
necessities. Mr.. Wilson will take back
to America some sort of document
which is without value and represents
nothing except the interested assent
of the nations who do not subscribe,
except on paper, to the principles there
formulated.
Instead OF settlement which would
erect Poland, Jugo-Slavia and Ruma-
MIA, which together with Czecho-Slo-
vakia would be barrier alike against
the Boche and the Bolshevist, we shall
have at least three small states de-
prived of an outlet upon the open sea
and doomed in advance to fall to Ger
man exploitation. We shall have in
addition, France, after the greatest
sacrifices ever made by people in de-
fence of their own existence, which
was the defence of the liberties Of the
world, feeling it is deserted by it's al
lies and defenceless against its old
enemy.
So far as we can see now, no single
one of the dreams that millions of peo-
pie have had, dreams of settlement in
accordance with justice and of peace
guarante'- by the common consent of
the free pec~les of the world, will be
realized
And when al these sacrifices have

Politics Is Scented
Baron Fugitaro Otori, Japanese Min
lister to Mexico, issued the following
statement regarding the discussion
over alleged attempts by Japanese in
terests to purchase lands in Lower
California:
"a tempest in teapot has been
created, and | think the Importance the
American press has given this ques-
tlon is due to some political maneuvre
caused by the ncarness of the next
Presidential campaign. 1t may be de-
clared that there are no concessions
IN Lower California that favor the in
terests of my country. Only near the
town of Mexicali exists small jap
anese agricultural colony that cult
Yates rice, but this is absolutely lack
ing in Importance.
The only paying exploitation that
can be made in that part of Mexico
is for the development of mineral de-
posits, and this is beyond the modest
resources of the only Japanese COLONY
located in that region. | am sure that
if the American Department of State
has asked its, Embassy here for infor-
that there, are no concessions in Lower
California favoring Japanese inter-

PARIS, April "a plenary session
for discussion of the international
labor question, to be held either Sat-
urday or Monday next, is recommend
ed by the commission headed by
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor
This decision to put forward and
hurry the session of labor delegates
was made because Mr.. Gompers him
self was unable to read his recommcn-
dations before the Council of Ten
and was forced to depart unheard.
To-days developments include the
reference to the council of the four
Foreign Ministers of all questions bear
ing on the responsibilities of the new
Czecho Slovak state in the war. All
reports and recommendation on this
question will come before them and
they are expected to reach their con-
clusions without prejudice to subse-
quent action, when it may be found
necessary to revise everything thus
far done. The "Debats," an evening
newspaper. comments on the dclibera-
tions Of the Council of Four as fol-
lows:
"Nobody is able to assert that the
Council Of Four will conclude this week
the labors they should have ended last
week. But we can predict that if the
Council of -Four or the Council of Ten
do not this week reach a decision on
a clear and practical policy regarding
that ensemble of questions involving
Eastern Europe from Danzig to
Odessa. they will no longer be able to
conclude good peace.
eff the usual method Of the Council
Of Four is a criterion, it is consis stent
to anticipate that they will look for
what their parliaments and the public
opinion of the countries they govern
will allow them to undertake, instead
of first deciding what will be to the
best interests Of the Allies and then
explaining to their countries the neces-
sity for their decisions.
They are acting not as chiefs, but
as courtiers. They fail to take init
account the moral force they indicate
in the eyes of warning world. They
take refuge on Mount Sinai. there tt
draw up the tables of law far from thu
madding crowd.

"They ask, however, why, if the
United States is unwilling ever again
to come to France, she is appar-

understand why, if America is not 60
ing to take further military inter-
est in continental Europe, she doesn't
leave the military situation entirely to
those most vitality concerned.
"Thcn there is the question of re-
paration, ineXtricably intertwined with
that of militar ydispositions because
one can never be obtained without q
guarantee of the other. The French

assumed during the war and see three
solutions possible:
First, that Germany pay.
