OWEN REsURREcrs FOURTEEN POINTS

q FNATOR OWEN OF Oklahoma has introduced what
~ he calls an nterpretatye resolution which, in effect,
pledges the United Saies adherence to The famous
Fourteen Points regardless OF what the covenant Of the
League OF Nations may say TO the contrary In part Mr.
owens resolution reads follows:
~The United States in ratifying the covenant Of the
League Of Nations and the treaty with Germany, does
not intend to be understood modifying in any degree
the obligations entered into by the United states and the
Entente Allies in the agreement set forth by the Secre-
iary Of State on November s. 1915 In his communication
10 the minister Of Switzerland In charge Of German in
terests in the United States upon which as basis the
German Empire agreed to the armstce Of November H.
1918 and laid down its The United States regards
that contract TO carry out the principles set forth by the
President Of the United States January g. isis and In
subsequent addresses, world agreement binding on
he great nations which entered into It,"
Regardless Of how the sgnatory nations viewed the
Fourteen Points they were thrown into the discard by
President Wilson himself when he appended his sigma
ture to the treaty with the League OF Nations in IT, 1t
would be paradox to have both The covenant and the
Fourteen Points force at the time They contra
dict each other at every turn
The treaty is "open covenant of peace, openly
arrived at" It says nothings about absolute freedom
Of navigation upon the in fact it is understood by
all the world that England to retain her domination Of
the SEAS Economic barriers are not removed by the
covenant as each nation according the President him
self retains the right 10 enact tariff laws There Is
guarantee the treaty for the lowering Of armaments
called for in the Fourteen Points Impartial adjust
ment all colonial claims farce under the covenant
which makes It possible for England to get practically
al Of the former German colonies We and have
been at open with the Boshevih OF Russia yet the
Fourteen declare that shall be left TO the
independent determination OF her political de-
yelopment"
And SO it goes Every one Of the Fourteen Points has
Seen specifically by implication violated by the treaty
and league yet Mr. would undertake make the
Points supreme when they conflict with the covenant
N effect Senator owens action makes Of him foe TO
HE whole treaty and there will likely be interest
Ing explanations forthcoming at the White House when
Mr. Wilson is apprised Of what he has proposed.

It to do so.-Penn Yam N ~ Chronicle.

DEATH AND TAXES.

G OMEBODY once ntimated that the two things surest
~ TO come TO mortal were: Death and Taxes.
Especially the inheritance tax Congress thought
Viscount Astor who able to live in English castles
by reason the fact that he exaced high rents from
American real estate left behind him proof OF hearty
effort to beat the inheritance tax He knew he couldn
dodge DEATH thought he could dodge payment of his
death tax.
Astor transferred his property to trust fund for his
two sons.
Now seems that before this government can collect
the tax due upon the Astor millions II must convince the
court that Astor did tie transferring n anticipation OF

Benr ReteIIinE.

The story of this day will. think.
make good reading in the years to
come-should ever this young DR. nce's
grandson visit the United States-and
] IL will be pleasant, too, to read of how
the Glastonbury thorn at the Cathe-
dral-a slip of the historic Glaston-
bury thorn-bloomed especially in the
princes honor and of how Bishop
Harding presented his royal highness
with the blossoms in a little silver
casket, quite in the most approved
Church of England tradition. And
another pretty story, which should go
down to history, is the tale of how
the prince was greeted at Mt. Vernon
by two ladies-Miss Alice Riggs and
Mrs. Kate Waller Barrett-who had
met his grandfather there sixty years
before.
Despite his very crowded program
the young prince seemed to find time
| for no end of gracious little acts
which contributed so much to s
general popularity. His call upon
Mrs. Dewey, widow OF the admiral nf
| the navy. was "a particularly pre- .ty
tribute, think; and 1t was als1 n
graceful thing for him to visit Mrs
| Niblack, wife of Admiral Niblack, and
| TO call upon Mr.. and Mrs. Lawrence
| Townsend, friends of two gener tions
| OF his family. Poor Mrs. Marshall
was confined to her room with a re-
currence of the trouble with her ear
| from which she suffered so severely
two vars ago and. although she was
to have understudied Mrs. Wilson as
hostess to his royal highness, saw
' him not at all except when he called
| upon her at the willard. On that oc-
casion, too, her small foster son, Nor
! rison Marshall, was presented to roy
