tate to treat 1t as another scrap o
paper.
America fought for civilization
and will not approve of any partisan
action at this great moment which
may imperil it again.
america needs a League of Ma
tions as well as England and France.
There was a moment in the great
conflict when the success OF German
arms meant possible disaster to our
own land. The day has passed when
America can take refuge in an atti'
tude of selfish isolation"
President Wilson's labors in the in
terest Of lastig peace entitle him to
the gratitude OF every peace-loving
and fair-minded man, Mr., Jordon as
serts.
Critics OF the president attempt
to visualize the superman," said Mr..
Jordon, whereas Mr.. Wilson is mere
ly virile American who has devoted
all his powers of heart and brain for
the upbuilding of what is intended to
be barrier against the forces of
destruction. In that barrier points of
weakness may develop, but what he
has already done constitutes a re-
straining force which ought to make
every American feel that the wei
fare of the people of all nations has
been safe-guarded for the future, and
for this much Mr.. Wilson deserves
the gartitude of every fair-minded
man"
Violation of the law of supply and
and demand is largely responsible for
the cost of living problem, Mr.. Jor-
don thinks. THE crux of the food
question lies in the fact that the law
of supply and demand has not been
allowed to follow its natural course"
he said Demand for food is not
variable, but the supply has been
manipulated to serve selfish ends AL
low as much freedom for the opera
tion of the supply as for the demand,
and prices must eventually reach
their proper level"
That Senator Hiram Johnson will
receive the vote of the California
delegation for the republican presi-
Dental nomination next year, and
that Senator James d. Phelan, demo-
crat, is stronger with the people of
California than ever before. were
assertions made by Mr.. Jordon, dis
cussing the political situation in his
state.

One main fact must not be ignored
Government operat on OF shipping Is q
different matter from Government opera
ton OF railroads and telegraphs. In the
latter cases what is established Is ar
absolute national monopoly, self-oon'
talned within the country of operation
Shipping, however. as Sir Alfred Boott

Experience has shown, time upon tine

far more economically than Government
ones
Secretary Daniels has said that tn.
Government will guarantee ocean freight
rates at cost. But the cost to the
United States Government will be higher
than the cost to the privately conducted
shipping of other nations. and that fac
will suffice to bring them the business.
