Editorial Opinion
THE FALL AMENDMENTS.

From the New York Tribune.
The Fall amendments to the treaty
were objectionable not so much be-
cause Of their purpose as because of
their FORM It was Mr.. Falls idea to
limit the activities Of the United States
on the various minor commissions ere
ated by the peace treaty with Germany.
It is not desirable that the United
States should have a principal part in
the submission Of referendum and the
other minute details Of the partition Of
the territory in Europe ceded by Ger
many. Such participation can only
bring us unnecessary enmities. as has
been proved already at Paris. The bur
den should not be put on the United
States Of acting as umpire in petty local
squabbles growing out Of racial and ma
tionaliAtic controversies. Europe can
unravev those loose ends better than we
can
Yet Mr.. Falls program OF renun-
citation was too sweeping. There may
be cases coming before some OF the
commissions provided for in the treaty
which will involve American interests.
American representation may be ad-
vantageOus in such instances, Just as
Mr.. Fall admits American representa-
tiOn to be on the major repsrations
commission. There is no need Of lay
ing down hard and fast rule Par
ticipation by the United States can be
more wisely limited in the light of'ex-
perience
What the New Mexico Senator sought
10 accomplish can be better accom-
pished through a reservation insuring
the right Of the United States TO with
draw without prejudice from the work
OF any Of the commissions. A rLserva-
tion Of this sort would cause no great
inconvenience IN the way Of obtaining
the assent Of other signatories. Few
signatories are represented on these
bodies They could either formally or
informally promise 10 make no obiec-
tion II American participation in the
work Of any OF these minor boards
should lapse. Generally speaking, the
United States enters these commissions
as a benevolent outsider. All that Is
is to preserve for this cOun-
try a certain liberty OF action-an
option Of resignation at the point at
which It may seem that undesirable
commitments are being thrust upon
our representatives..

MORE THAN THE "OPEN
SHnp- INXnI WE'D

From the Financial World.
The chief points urged by the radical
leaders Of the steel strike Is that the
steel operators refuse TO counsel with
the Union leaders. over alleged abuses
at the mills. wage schedules and the
recognition of the Unions as against
the present system Of the "open shop"
which places the union and non-union
workers on q basis Of absolute equality
When the records Of the leaders are ex-
amined, however, 1t is disclosed that
there Is a deeper design back OF their
desperate game Of trying 10 rule or ruin

CLAYTON's REQUEST.

From the Dover state News.
The request made by the citizens OF
Clayton that the new state Boulevard
be constructed so that its course will
lie between that town and Smyrna, in
stead of east Of Smyrna, as is being
contemplated at present, is a most rea-
sonable one.
There is every indication that the
town Of Clayton will thrive and grow in
future years, as it is already an i'm
portant railroad centre, and it would
really be an injustice to the residents
Of that community to construct the
new road so far away from it. And by
placing the Boulevard between the two
towns, which would be practically no
more expense, would be accommodate
ing far more people than by placing it
to the east Of Smyrna.
In fact. it is understood that the resi-
dents Of Smyrna also would prefer to
have the Boulevard pass to the west Of
that town.
We heartily agree with the VIII
mington Evening Journals editorial
comment on the subject, which fol-
lows
"In view OF the present size Of Clay
ton. It's hope for the future and its i'm
portance as a railroad centre, it is not
surprising that the people Of that thriv-
ing town in northern Kent county de-

the realignment Of the state Boulevard
through that section. All they ask is
that the new road shall be built be-
tween Clayton and Smyrna, for the
benefit OF both communities. and not

serted by the Clayton folk that an in

Boulevard between the two towns

the other until finally they would be-

The people Of Clayton are very much
in earnest, as they have every right to
be, because they realize that the ques-
tion raised involves, 10 a very large de-
gree, the future OF their town, and, at
the same time, does not meance. TO an

ing 10 dictate the form OF management
Of American industry. II is the foreign
class exploited by the worst clements

thousands OF American workmen OF the
peaceful right TO work at their jobs.
this week, is holding back American in
dustry from promised prosperity and IS
helping materially TO block the longed
for relief to the American public from
the present intolerablc conditions OF liy-
ing cost.
And The majority of these foreign
wOrkmen have no clear or definite idea
as 10 why they are striking. Actual
contact with them in the Youngstown
district and elsewhere this week proves
this fact They are striking not be-
cause they have real or fancied griev-
ances against their employers, but be-
cause they have been told to do so by
the union snd they are obeying the
summons.
There is nothing in this strike to
mark il as American. In fact, it is es-
sentially un-American in its organiza-
tion, its designs and its methods. II
represents a dangerous thrust against
established American institutions. The
questions il involves reach beyond the
plane Of industry into the realm OF
sound government and orderly society.
The steel industry in vigorously com
batting this menace Of the clamorous
and vicious minority is upholding the
banner Of true Americanism. IL should
have and will have the wholesouled
support Of all the reasonable and best
Of American life which must
make it eventual victory unquestioned.

The radical agitators who have engi-

mttedly have concentrated their main
efforts upon recruiting the foreign

dictate TO the steel industry the con-
