Japan would tolerate the

We know that France would
never consent to Senator
Knox's idea of softer terms for
Germany.
The safe and sane course is
to ratify the treaty and form
the League of Nations. Not
having a two-thirds vote avail
able in the senate and having
worked patiently but vainly
for weeks to get action at
Washington, President Wilson
has no other course but to
take the matter to the people.

the Teuton head and forced
compliance. But now the Am
erican troops have been with.
drawn and the pressure that
was exerted then cannot be ex.
erted again. If submitted to
Germany again the Germans
could haggle for months. Our
senate will have shown them
how. No one can say what the
outcome would be but it would
mean weary delay in, establish
Ing peace and probably the de-
feat of the League of Nations.
Not only that, but reeonstruc-
ton steps of all kinds would be
retarded. With further war
fare still possible the price of
supplies would go higher, the
agitators in all lands would
find fresh fuel for the fires
they are trying to build; the
bolsheviki government in Rus
sia would have a further lease
of life.
These things seem not mere
ly possible but inevitable if the
senate INSTRUCTORS insist on
throwing a wrench into the
peace machine. The East Ore
gonian is admittedly a pro-Wil
son newspaper but it has en-
deavored to view this subject
without partisan bias and can
see in efforts to kill the treaty
nothing but a misguided be-
trayal of the best interests off
the nation and of civilization
itself. The league plan may
not be perfect but it is the best
that could be obtained. 1t can
always be changed if changes
are desired and if the United
States does not like the league
it can easily get out on short
notice.
Some think certain reserva-
tions could be written into the
treaty and not require action
by other countries. But the
other nations, not the United
would be the judges on
that point. We don't know what
they would do. But we do
know that neither Britain nor

mission to others for approval
is subjected to changes it goes
without saying that the propo-
sition must be again referred

Having been changed it is no
longer binding on the original
signers because it is not what
they agreed to.
If textual changes are made
in the peace treaty as the Re-
publican senate leaders seem
bent on demanding it will call
for the resubmission of the
treaty to the 26 other nations
affected, Germany included.
Common sense indicates there
can be no doubt on this point.
Now what will resubnlission
mean?
Apparently it will mean the
reconvening of the peace con-
ference and the taking up
again of all the problems that
were threshed out at such
length this spring. Various
nations will press claims of
their own and no one can fore
see what the outcome will be.
Il is not to be assumed that
Germany will readily agree to
anything. Germany agreed to

because she had to do so. The

CLIPPINGS FROM

After a few weeks of debating and
consultation between Milton and city
officials and representatives of the
Walla Walla Valley Railway company
terms of agreement regarding the paw

near future in order that paving of
Main street may not be hindered.
An election will be held this fall
in Echo to authorize a special tax

Great Men Are Bold.

Were one to analyze the careers of
200 or 300 of our leading men of
finance and industry it would probably
develop that not half of them cOntin-
ued in the line of business in which
they started, but struck boldly out in
the direction where they saw the big
gest opportunities and where their in
clinatiOn lay.
One of the earliest and most notable
instances Of this was Commodore Van
derbilt, who was so old before he
turned to railroading that his family
and his advisers impOrtuned him to let
well enough alone and not to enter an
entirely new field at his time of life.
This readiness of brainy giants to
take up new things and to throw their
whole selves into them is really one
of the principal reasons why the
United States has led the world in so
many lines of endeavOr. Wealthy Eu-
ropeans, as a rule, avoid the new,
avoid untried paths; they are inclined
to worship precedent.

BoIshevIsm in Australia.

The bolshevik section Of the labor
party has met with considerable sue
cess in its organization of big union
in Australia. Complete realization OF
the organizers purpose depends large.
ly on the attitude Of miners and shear
ers. The outcome of the project IL
anxiously awaited in view of the pos.
sibility that the labor party may re
gain political power at the next cleo
ton.

The Ricnes Of Friendship.

We are rich when we have friends,
real friends who love us, friends who
see our faults and still care for us in
spite Of them. A palace would not
be home without such a friend in it.
Money buys many counterfeit friends
but no real ones. No one could be
poorer than the man who has every
thing but friends, and the one whose
life is crowned with friendship is rich
enough.-Girl's Companion.

If the employer knew, for instance,
that a man holding a carpenters

men holding cards in other unions
were mechanics in their respective
lines, union men would always receive
employment in preference to those
who are not members.

APPEALS FOR ARMS.

Warsaw, March 26-General Pilsud-
ski commander of the Polish armies,
declared in an interview today that
Poland needs materials to equip an
army of half a million men for effec-
tive opposition against the Germans,
Ukrainanians and Bolshevill. He in
timated that America might furnish
these supplies from equipment. it will
not attempt to remove from France.
I'VE have men and officers, but no
uniforms, rifles, munitions or guns"
said Pilsudski. Poland is attacked on
three sides. She can not protect her
self without technical war material,
which she is not yet equipped for
manufacturing. We are grateful to
the allies especially, from whom we
received something definite-food.
Pilsudski said the differences with
the Czecho- Slovaks can be settled by
diplomacy.
