SHOCKED INTO ACTION.

Just what the supreme council Of
the peace conference is busy about
in Paris no man knows, but there are
evidences in plenty that since the
dramatic developments in Hungary
the members are extremely busy
about something or other. The Lon
don Chronicle aptly remarks that the
healthy shock" to the public, and
that if the peace commissioners re-
spond the threat of a Bolshevik cata-
clysm may prove to be blessing in
disguise. LIE Journal of Paris says:
feThe conference has made a heroic
resolution. 1t has decided to drape
its wounded dignity in the most abso-
lutte mystery"
Biting phrases like these are sad
commentaries on the extent to which
the conferees at Paris have lost the
confidence and support of public opin-
ion the world over. When the sessions
of the peace commission began, the
peoples of the allied countries looked

tangled international problems result
ing from the war. Today most of the
great problems seem farther from
settlement than they were when the
fighting stopped last November, and
Germany today is in position in
comparably stronger than that which
she occupied when the armistice was
signed.-Idaho Statesman.

in a state of peace and prosperity and
that the determination will have been
reached by all nations that wars shall
be no more

covering period of many months the

somewhat visionary, and the Ameri- !

which is perhaps just as well, but he
