AMENDING THE CONSTITUTION

A number of amendments to the proposed constitu-
stanially agreed on at the Paris conference. One change
which. has been determined on provides that there shall
be no violation of international principles which have
been generally recognized. That clause is appended to
the one which provides that the territorial integrity and
independence of the nations shall be protected from. ag-
gressive attack from outside. The purpose of the added
clause. is to satisfy those who have felt that the original
tenancef of the Monroe doctrine. AS a matter of fact the
Monroe doctrine would have been entirely secure under
the maintenance of peace with the world which is the
purpose of the league of nations includes necessarily the
But the amendment has been accepted by the conferees
doubtless for the same reason that changes of wording
buttons; not to change the real substance of the docu-
rlent. but to give a measure Of satisfaction to those who
have suggested the amendment, and as the additional
clause can do no harm, there is no special reason why
1t should not be included. A number of other amend
ments are under consideration and are likely to be
adopted. 1t may be that this will satisfy some Of those
who have declared their opposition to the constitution
as it stood, and will enable them without the appearance
Of Inconsistency to support the new document.

RECOGNIZING THE BOLSHEYIKI

In reply to the demand which is made with some
frequency by persons Of socialistic leanings that the Rus
sian Bolsheviki be recognized, it may be pointed out that
we do not recognize as a decent citizen the man who goes
about with a revolver in one hand and a torch in the
other, using both unfortunately, even though he may
have companions numerous enough to have driven all the
rest of the population into shelter, and, for the moment.
to be in absolute control of the town. That is about the
condition in Russia. A lawless element has gained con-
troll and is maintaining by terror what it secured by force.
Such an element cannot consistently be recognized by
the government of any self respecting people.
In order to support the demand for recognition Of
this lawless and destructive element we are often given
the familiar platitude that the people of Russia are en-.
titled to have any sort Of government that suits them.
That may be admitted. with the reservation that if by
any chance the people at large of Russia should become
afflicted with the same species of insanity which afflicts
the deluded followers of Lenine and Trotzky. the dictates
of humanity might require that civilization take some
steps to aid in restoring them to sanity.
But the fact is that "the people of Russia do not
want the kind of government that they are getting. The
Bolshevik revolution is not an act Of democracy. 1t did
not originate with the people. 1t was prompted by self
appointed leaders who secured a following from the
vicious, who may always be depended on to take the side
Of destruction, and of the deluded, who, hungry and desti-
tute, grabbed eagerly at any promise of help from any
source.
But to say that the Bolsheviki are, or represent the
people of Russia, is absurd. The majority in Russia is
illiterate and uniformed. 1t has no knowledge of what
il possible or impossible, just or unjust, in the great world
OF industry and government. The great Russian middle
classes, in whom are to be found the combination of in
telligence with democratic spirit. are certainly not in
sympathy with the Bolsheviki. And, so far as old Russia
is governed at all, it is now governed by a noisy rabble,
destitute of the first principles Of that justice which is
the real basis Of democracy. .
The recognition of the Bolshevik rule in Russia or
anywhere else would be the recognition by governments
that profess to be civilized of the principle that the knife
and the firebrand are as legitimate instruments Of gov
eminent as are right and reason, and that the insane ty-
ranny of an insane and irresponsible mob is a valid ex-
preston of democracy.

THE REVOLT AGAINST TOWNLEY

When state officials who had been elected by Non
partisan league votes expressed their disapprobation of
some of the legislation which had been forced upon the
nents of these officials had not died away before the
Townley press began to assure it's readers that these men
who had formerly been opposed by the independent press
OF the state were now being praised by these same pa
pers for the attitude which they had taken.
If this is true The Herald has seen no evidence of
bend the knee to Townley, has not discussed the char
acter of these state officials in any way in the light Of
their recent announcement. 1t has published their state
ments as matters of news in which the people of the
state wore likely to be interested. 1t has commented
on the fact that the dictation of Mr.. Townley had become
has not discussed them. They have taken a position in
opposition to certain measures to which The Herald has
been opposed. So far they and The Herald may be con-
s:dered as lined UP on the same side of the controversy.
but they are also advocating certain other measures to
which The Herald is opposed in whole or in part, and in
That a revolt against the Townley tyranny would
come was one Of the certainties. AS a matter of fact it
has been in progress i'll some measure ever since the
Nonpartisan league was organized. The new situate
is merely that the revolt has reached a wider scope than
formerly and is being participated in by men whose po-

BUILDING ACTIVITIES

Since the governors and mayors conferred with fed
eral officials in Washington on the industrial conditions
Of the country, there appears to be a more determined
conviction in the building industry that present prices
of material and labor are not going down in the near
future. This conviction is reflected in the increase in
building activities and construction work. Incomplete
data on March contracts suggest the possibility of the
March total being in excess of the total for February
which was, in turn, quite an increase over the contracts
of January.
While state and municipal construction works are
playing an important part in the acceleration of bust
ncss throughout the country, private and corporation in
fluences are responsible for most of the present build
ing activities. Much road work.. especially in Indiana,
Illinois, Ohio and Iowa. appears to be held in allegiance
III. the hope of an early adjustment of freight rates on
road materials.
Among the building projects brought to the atten-
ton of the division of public works and construction
developments Of the United States department Of labor
during the week. were the following:
The City National Bank Of Galveston, Texas. viii, be-
gin the construction Of a new building to cost approxi-

COMBINING AGAINST AMERICA

Some of the opponents of the league of nations would
have us believe that it is the purpose of the other great
powcrsit to use the league as a means of coercing the Unit
ed States into ways disastrous to this nation, and which
will ultimately destroy it. 1t seems not to have occurred
to these DIRECTORS that if this were the real purpose, the
powers implicated in such conspiracy would need no
league of nations in order to carry it out.
If Great Britain, and France. and Italy, and Japan,
are determined to wreck the United States, to despoil it,
and to divide the plumber among themselves. they are
probably able to do it. Certainly their ability would not
be increased by the creation Of a league of which the
United States became a part. II that purpose actually
existed it could be carried out much more directly. II
the other powers are actually in a league of enmity they
can now, without any further organization, adopt a pol
icy of annoyance and irritation against the United States
which will tend to force us into war. Failing that. acts
OF real aggression can be committed. either through the
use of military force or through. the adoption Of discrim-
inatory trade provisions which would be embarrassing il
not fatal to the United States. In these, and scores OF
other ways, the power and influence of the United states
could be undermined, always providing that the other
powers chose to follow such a course.
But the world needs q great and prosperous Amer
world. The idea Of a world combination against the
United States is an absurdity. and the least likely think
to produce it is . treaty OF friendship bstween all the
civilized nations.
