EmliQratiO1a

The savings bank section of the American
Bankers association is sending out letters of
warning. The fools paradise pictured in boil
shevist propaganda is affecting the alien popu-
laton of the United States. 1t is estimated
that 100000 aliens will not be prevented from
returning to lands where the dream of the COM
munist is supposed to have become tangible.
With an innocence which is tragic they are
taking their money from a land where property
rights are upheld to lands where they are ig-
nored-but the are taking their money. The
bankers find that they are averaging, as they
now depart, takings of from $4,000 to $4,000
each. If the estimates of departures are set too
high, and il the aliens continue to take as much
money as they are taking now, they will take
out 81 600 100000 and seriously disturb the cur
rency of the country.
There are two issues involved-and they con-
hict. The people who are going are socially and
politically the people of whom the United States
would be we'll rid. They reveal that they have
nothing in common with the social and political
organization of the United States. Their volun-
tary withdrawal would be good thing for the
country. We are deporting the violent ones and
failing some of them.
The money they take out cannot be taken
from the currency of the country without pro-
ducing disorder Therefore the bankers urge
that the emigration be discouraged and the
movement checked. 1t is pity that to keep
the currency we have to keep the aliens.-Chi-
cago Tribune.

its need of redrafting to make 1t

Mr.. Lowell, Mr.. Taft, Mr.. Byran

say 1t is faulty and should be re-
drafted. Now, who is at fault when
that is all we are asking Is to have 1t
redrafted in workable shape. When
certain clauses have been referred
to as to what they mean one says 1t
means thus and so then make it
say so in plain words, then when fear
is given of others as to what 1t might
do for us they rush to the front and
say so. 1t does not mean that, then
say ma. One of these twilight state
ments Is in reference to the council
Of fives power to order their states
to war with another power or an
unruly member of the league. Now
our old constitution says that con
gress alone has power to declare
war" Oh, yes, but they say 1t will
not conflict with that Then let
them say so. If they are unwilling
to state in plain terms what they
are aiming at it is open to charges
of laundering or something worse,
So that makes it plain we should ask

Russia Nearing the End.

Recognition of the Omsk government as that
of Russia by the Allies may be step nearer to
the end of disorder in the unhappy land
Whether that is so or not, it is step nearer
the end of procrastnaton in our dealings with
the situation. For two years the United States
has been the leader in hot and cold policy to-
wards Russia that so far has been productive of
dissatisfaction on all sides. Able leaders felt
that Intervention was justified in 1917; the
president waited, his Mexican policy being en-
tirely too close at hand. In 1918 it seemed that
intervention was imperative, but it was under
taken in a half-hearted and wholly ineffective
way, and no benefit has, been derived from it.
1t is no fault of ours that Germany did not gain
all it expected to obtain in Russia What is to
be done next does not yet appear. Offers of
food to the hungry are accompanied by demands
that fighting cease, to which Lenine and
Trotzky have made no reply. The recognition
OF the Omsk government was announced along
with the no-intervention policy. General Dene-
kline will be left to work out his own salvation.
If he can make headway against the bolshevists
who surround him. we'll and good. but the prob
abilities are he will need much outside assistance
before he brings order to his country. Just now
tile best news that could come from over there
would be that the peasants are preparing to seed
their lands that they may have food of their
own by another winter

Because this is Krbor day, and because it
is Of Nebraska origin, its simple observance will
forcibly remind the people that they have not
yet done what they might to bring it to its
fullest realization for public good Millions of
trees have been planted in Nebraska under the
influence OF the spirit of J. Sterling Morton,

expressed over the ruthless and wanton de-
structon Of woods back of the battle lines by
the marauding Huns, but the sympathy shown
for France has not had proper reaction here
For many years The Bee has periodically sug-
gested the afforestation of public lands in Ne
braska, and the systematic cultivation of valua-
bic timber trees on the farms. We note a
gradual awakening of public interest in this, and
hope in time to see Nebraskans merit as we'll
as assume the title of Tree Planters" Flu

Flies in tn. Peace Ointment.

Until the text OF the peace treaty be given
out, the world will be left to conjecture as to
its contents and meaning. Our president SAYS
it is guaranty Of peace, of world that is safe
for democracy, and that civilization will not
again be menaeed by the militari.m that has
been overthrown. Realization of such an out
come will be wondrous boon to humanity, but
some are not so sanguine IS Mr.. Wilson.
Guglielmo Ferrari, historian and statesman
himself Of no mean position, says the treaty as
planned, together with covenant of the League
Of Nations, will but postpone the war which
soon must follow.
France fervently hopes for solution that
will relieve her of worry as to Germany. Her
statesmen seek an alliance that will be positive
against another attack from her dangerous
neighbor. England and America can give such
protection, but Mr., Wilson is understood to be
opposed to anything not contained in the
League of Nations
Italy wants the Adriatic coast on both sides
and the Jugo-Siavs decline to recede from their
claims. This question is no nearer solution
than when 1t was first brought to the front
by the new nation, which suddenly expanded
its aspirations under the influence of Mr. Viii
sons well meant promise that he would see they
got justice.
No amount Of diplomatic phrase-making can
entirely cover up these elements of discord at
Paris. They are potential sources of interna-
tional division, and unless they can be brought
to adjustment the League of Nations will go
down the ways handicapped by cargo of dis
sension that may give life to Ferrari's gloomy
prediction. Making peace for the world is not
the easiest job to which statesmen have ad-
dressed their energy

Austrian crown jewels have gone the same
route as taken by the Russian. The proletariat
will be recognized in the future as the great
agents Of dispersion, just as they were in the
past. Vessels from King Solomon's temple were
found in Spain centuries after the Assyrians
had carried them from Jerusalem to Babylon,
mute evidence Of the vicisstudes attendant on
royal or holy treasure. And just as the Goths

JOLT FOR GERMAN PRIDE.

The acid test 10 about to be applied to Ger
man bumptiousness. For several weeks such of
their leaders Is were not giving their time to the
propagation OF bolshevism have been hard at
work fostering the notion that Germany did
not lose the war; that it was not ended in COL
lapse of the army, but that the SUPER upermen
discovered all of sudden that Mr.. Wilson's
fourteen points were just what Germany had
been lighting TORI all the time, and 50 they
agreed to an armistice and returned unbeaten
and unbowed to await the formulation of a
treaty that would embody those points. This
treaty, of course, to be presented in season to
the councils Of the empire, there to be studied,
dissected, freed from its crudities and oddities,
and eventually sent back to the Allies and the
United States for ratification.
Notice has just been sent from Paris OF ma
ture that will doubtless dspel this dream 1t

sent to Versailles, for the conferees will deal
only with plenipotentiaries who are duly
authorized to sign treaty for the German peo-
pie. Moreover, these delegates are to be
trested as enemies until after the treaty is
signed. They will be emphatically reminded
that the war Is not yet over, and that Germany
did not win It,

For the Amended League.

York, April 19.-To the Editor of
The Bee: l want to commend The
Bee for it's sane, fair course in this
confab on the league Of nations.
have seen three of the state papers
Just partly state the facts or else
actually mistake them for inference
at least. Take, for instance, the
debate of Senator Lodge and Pres
ident Lowell on the League Of Ma
tons. They all three intimate that
the senator has come partially over
for league. Now that is not a
fair way to state the case for the
senator has not come over, but has
been over all the while and today he
asks just the same as at first, no
more, no less, and that Is to make
it workable. =
The widest dreamer for 1t can
not object to that and be at all con-
sistent, because he would be the
gamer as we'll as the others. Some
criticise him for having spoken in
favor Of a league two or three years
ago, while now he is opposing it.
Another mistatement. But he is
statesman enough to want 1t done
right if at all. And the Lodge resO-
luton declared in the outset for a
league, but asked that it state in
plain terms what it meant. Is there
anything wrong in that the request
of the Lodge resolution is the re-
quest of every thinking person, SO
that league to promote peace be
not nest egg of disputes. If they
think 1t would not be, let them read
the divergent views already given
on a number of the disputed clauses
both here and in Europe.
Let us consider another case that
gives clear idea of what the Lodge
followers want to avoid. In one of
the large cities a man took the con-
tract to put in lot of storm sewers
of the lateral or feeder type. On
beginning he told his men he would
give them so much a day or so much
a footrunning measure, and they
could have their choice. One man,
finding he could make more by the
foot brought his two boys and they
worked early and late. When they
came to settle the boss paid them
by the day without overtime. When
they protested he said: II gave you
your choice, but you did not say
which you took and l am boss OF the
job. / will suit myself about that
part of it. L have not time or space
to tell of the tragedy that took place
or the tfeud) that grew out of half
made bargain because it was to their
own interest to interpret it that way.
Well. if in a small way, we get
such results, what is to be expected
where the power, wealth~or success
of rulers or nations is at stake and
all they have to do is to interpret
that "scrap of paper" to suit their
own interests Think you they will
overlook anything along that line.
tell We nay, but if you do not play
safe now you will suffer later.

while the swallow-it -whole bunch are

PLANTATION as is here given for Lodge
is just as true in the cases OF Nc
Cumber. Root. Lenroot and many
others that are being charged with
opposing league to promote peace.
