around him. Country folk are busy peo-
pie, and boys are too often left to their
OWN devices without any directing inf1u-
ences. So while the city evils are avoided
because not known, other evils, dulness
and vacantness take their place. School
is hateful for the same reason that it is
hateful to the city boy.
The local Scout organizations take him
out Of himself, show him how to fra
ternize with his fellows and develop in
him . sense OF kinship with the rest of
the world outside his own little commu-
nifty. And with him. too, school begins
to assume Importance.
So let us give them all a chance. Every
associate member means another boy
reached who otherwise would be on the
outside OF this truly boy organization.

Only Presumably

tFrom The Christian Science Monitor)
II you could understand nothing but
Italian, and, upon buying your Italian
language newspaper, like al Cittadino." of
New York, you should find an anti-prohi-
bition legend at the head of the very first
column and then this question in bold face
type: "Shall this country be ruled by a
band of fanatics and bigots?" what would
you think as to the merits of the prohi-
bition amendment? You would need to
understand more than Italian in order not
to think it piece Of imposition, with onlv
a minority behind it. Yet there are people
who say there is no harm in letting the
immigrant classes have newspapers in
their own languages, instead of recurring
them to learn the language Of the United
States, whittier, presumably, they have
come to observe the law, not to UNDER
mine it.

Filling a Chasrn

From tbs Sdnd Union)
The editor of "The Union" has a letter
from Southern man who has been a life
long Democrat, and in that letter the
writer expresses the belief that some of
the Southern states would vote Republican
in 1920 if they were not afraid Of reaction,
"You may or may not know" this letter
says, what the South went through in the
days Of reconstruction and when the states
had practically no power to make their
own laws for local self-government But
l have talked with hundreds Of influential
Democrats and they express themselves to
the effect that If there were a Republican
platform, declaring in strong terms for
local self-government in all the states.
there would be several Southern states
that would go Republican"
Is this man correct in his diagnosis?
All indications and all the news coming
from the South indicate that he is.
There has been long growing sentiment
in the South, observable in the newspapers
and IN public speeches, that the Southern
sectlon OF our common country is making
=" 8Aa'c poiftlCdl mistake IN having but
political party, and there are many of the
Souths ablest men who believe now at the
close of the war, is proper time to make
every section thoroughly American, and let
no state or section be tied up by worn
out phrases or time-worn customs. The
young men Of America went to war. They
went from all sections. They fraterTized

The Bankers Big Job

Daring the wan preceding our entry
America sold vast supplies Of goods to
/ Europe, partly for cash, partly for re-
turned securities, partly on credit, with
the SELLERS taking foreign promissorY
notes tbcuds) to balance the account.
On our entry the government assumed
the BUSINESS of providing tine credit
Vast sums Terc lent to our allies; they
were furnis he'd the money to purchase
here with the government, as trustee
for all Of us, taking the obligations Of
foreign governments for it's advances
The peace will bring TO an end the
governments activities in this direction,
yet the necessity continues of selling to
Europe or credit if we would sell at all
Europe owes us $40 1000 600, 900 now, but
the amount is likely to be doubled be
fore there is a restoration Of normal con-
dtions.
How this must be done has been ex-
planned by Henry 2, Dawson to group
of Chicago bankers. The details are
many and complicated, but the plan in
essence is simple. There must be a dis
tribution of the burden and the risk,
for it is impossible for an individual to
judge for himself whether particular
buyer is coed.
The business must be done through
the bankers and under the leadership of
the great banks. It will be a great
labor-will make heavier demands than
were incident to the war. But in the
benefit all will share
May the suspicious remember this
when next they feel an impulse to break
out into railing against the financially
powerful because they are not always
angels of unselfishness and take a nor
NAL human interest in fees and in the
profits of discounting.
Europe would buy and America would
sell, but Europe has not funds or goods
to exchange. In other days this would
have meant the stoppage Of trade, with
want in one place and surfeit in the
other. Happily international banking,
despite its stigmatizations, is now able
to build bridge of credit The plans
and specifications are now in prepara-
ton, and when the structure is erected
there will be assurance that our mines
and factories will continue operating and
our farmers continue prosperous. We
won't elect to high Office the captains of
this great work We are more likely to
abuse them. Yet the work will be done,
and then when some one dies it will be
acknowledged that he was identified
with one of the greatest doings of his
generation.

Bluff and BIusser

The Administrations spokesnlen seem
unable to realize that the campaign of
bluff and buster in behalf of the cove
nant Of the league Of peace has failed
The public laughs instead of trembling.
an unscared Senate is amused. 1t won't
do, gentlemen.
When the President returned with the
covenants first draft the public was told
the instrument was unamendable The
bloody bones of no peace at all were
brandished if line were altered. Vio
lent efforts were made to blow the breath
Of life into this nonsense by the bellows
Of abuse. The response was the round
robin, signed by more than third of
the Senate, serving notice that changes
were indispensable.
The President flew into somethiny
akin to rage and talked of the "pygrnv"
minds which opposed him. Yet on his
return to Paris, in a second draft, he
accepted so per cent of the demands Of
the pygmles. But the new form was
presented as a fnality---as beyond I'M
proving touch Yet this week came re-
port of another recasting It is to be
made more easy to admit Germany. The
claim of infallibility becomes weak.
Perhaps If it can be amended twice the
covenant can be amended third time,
or, at least, construed and INTERPRETED to
remove antiquities.
The Senate majority, while inclining
to the view that further revision would
be wise, has never declared, it is worth
noting, opposition to the league of peace
idea. In his Boston speech Senator
Lodge accepted the principle. The ma
Jorlty Senators may be assumed to rec
ognize the merits of the covenant. They
nave not denied the advantage of regu-
larlzed periodic conferences nor denied
that the habit of acting together in
small things may grow into concert with
respect to large ones.
The door to an adjustment is still
open. But it may be closed. The chief
responsibility is obviously with the Ad-
m1nlstration. 1t must concedo the vital
principle that treaties are made with
the advice and consent of the Senate.
Attempts to concentrate, in fact, the
treaty making power with the executive
department will not succeed and do not
deserve to succeed. Too great would be
the upset of our institutions; too direct
is the head-on collision with the tempec
Of times which would increase rather
than diminish popular control of foreign
relations.
Perfection must no longer be claimed
for document which leaves vital mat
ters in doubt. These doubts can and
should be removed. No dropping of the

Labor Emancipation

The action Of the American Fedora
ton of Labor in voting, with but one
dissenting vote, to admit negroes into
all trade unions when there is no ex-
press exclusion and to organize negro
unions by direct charter when there is
exclusion marks one of the greatest
practical victories for the negro since
Emancipation Day.
For generation negro committees
have appeared before the Federation
with pleading voices. They have asked
recognition - for the privilege Of CO.
operating with the white man, instead
OF being compelled to undersell him in
the labor market. One section sdenied
political rights and the other economic
rights, and the negro even though he
became skilful, found it difficult to sell
his skill except under conditions in
tensifying the race antagonism that he
deplored.
The new rule will, of course. not be
perfectly obeyed. Prejudice is hard
thing to kill. Between prejudice and
self-lntcreSt many men elect to serve
prejudice. But there is progress-dis-
tlnct progress. The door of opportunity
is opened wider to the aspiring members
OF race whose submergence has made
many of our professions seem hypo-
critical.
The lifting of the bar is to be, re-
garded as by-product of the war Not
only did thousands Of negroes fight we'll.
but there was stirring of democratic
thought. 1t was impossible to ignore
all reminders of our great inconsistency.

Not a Party Issue

Chairman Will II. Hays shows his
usual sagacity in rejecting the challenge
of the Democratic National Committee
to make of the league Of nations q party
issue The present dispute oven thu
shortcomings of the form which the
league of nations project has taken has
properly nothing to do with American
party politics. 1t does not take its orr
gin from any party divisions or decia-
rations. The Fourteen Points and the
policies pursued at Paris by our peace
delegation have never been passed on by
any American party. Congress had no
share in formulating them. In fact, in
the declaration of war against Germany
no reference was made TO any American
war aim other than the defence Of Amer
lean rights against German aggression.
President Wilson has followed his own
ideas in stating American peace condi-
tions and III creating the league of ma
tions as it now exists in the text Of the
peace treaty He is not acting at Paris
as the spokesman of the Democratic
party Neither is he acting as the
spokesman Of the Republican party
Every Democrat and every Republican
is free to approve or disapprove the de-
tails of the covenant Of the league of
nations without raising any question
of party regularity. This is a matter
which ought to be considered by every
voter not as a Democrat or Republi-
can but as an American.
The only genuine issue raised by the
controversy over the covenant is wheth-
er or not it unduly sacrifices national
ism and strips the United States of cer
tain political privileges and advantages
without Offering adequate compensa-
tions. People may differ about this
without regard to party lines. 1t is, as
Mr.. Hays justly says, San American
question" 1t appeals to individual tenn
permanent and prepossessions rather
than to partisan interests or convic-
tions. 1t involves a clash between the
nationalistic ideal and the internation-
alistic ideal.
The league of nations controversy
has, therefore, no place as test of
party faith. 1t is broadeI than parties.
1t should be settled without regard to
partisan exigencies on either side.
New-York tribune., 1919-06-15

Monroe Doctrine, no obligation to be
placed on this country to participate in
every quarrel in the world. If the cove
nant does neither of these, as its cham
pions declare, what valid objection can
exist to placing Interpreting and con-
STRUNG reservations in the ratifying
resolution?
Overheard with the assertion that peace
fails II the covenants meaning is clari-
lied. Ratification with appropriate reser-
vat!on5 VIII in no wise jeopardize the
peace. 1t is inconceivab!e that the Presi-
dent would tear up the treaty and as
sUmc the responsibility of continuing the
state cf war. Nor is it conceivable that
any other country would postpone peace
because safeguards were insisted upon
by us.
AS to the undertaking, yesterday re-
ported from Washington, that it is pro-
posed to asGal as pro- Germans those
who ask for changes and reservations,
this would seem to suggest panic and is
not terrifying. Imagine Senator Hitch
cock, not long ago pushing a resolution
for an embargo on shipments to the
Allles, posing as the champion anti
German a"d questioning the patriotism
of men with the records Of Senators
Lodge and Knox,
The Administration leaders having
seemingly lost their heads, there is the
greater need Of others to keep theirs.
The advice of Chairman Hays is good
The treaty question must not become a
partisan one. Examine every proposal
en- its merits rather than on its place of
origin BE with the President in every
possible way, and look at national ques-
tions with q national spirit
