NEARING THE END
(The New York Times)

In Mr.. Hughes reservations we
come to the vanishing point of pro-
tests against the Treaty and the
covenant in their present form. They
amount, practically, to this: The
Republican Senate accepts and ratl-
fes the Treaty and the League coven-
ant because it does not dare reject
them OF by amendment put them in
peril of rejection by other signatory
Powers. But since the Senate has
made such a prodigious fuss over the
Treaty in the form in which it came
from the Peace Council and the
hands of President Wilson, it takes
the liberty of masking its surrender
bv Interviewing with the act of rat
ification certain harmless paraphrases
and innocent statements of undisput-
ed facts.
Mr.. Hughes suggestion in respect
to Article x is an example of the
extreme tenuity of his reservations.
Mr.. Taft proposes that we limit our
obligations under Article X to perl
cd of ten years. The President
would never assent to that. He
could not. The League is defensive
covenant. The danger is very slight
that there will arise within the next
ten years any occasion for combined
action on any large scale under Arti
Gle X, The period of serious danger
when the worlds need of the League
will be greatest, will come later I'm
der Mr.. Taft's plan the United States
would be put in a position of saying
"We will assume the obligation o
Article X only for period during
which there will probably be no fight
ing; after that the world may shift
for itself" OF course, the othe

HIGH PRICES
Burlington Daily News)

The psychology of high prices is
an interesting study for those who
delight in complexities. We are told
that there is to be another heavy
advance in the price of footwear
because of increasing costs of hides
yet within the past few weeks the
packing industry has caused to be
inserted in various newspaper adj
vcrtisements urging the people to
eat more beef. Beef is plentiful now,
so advertisements tell US, be-
cause high beef prices during the
war caused large increase in the
amount of stock raised. There being
more cattle, more beef and conse-
quently more hides the reason for
further increases in the price of
hides, we assume, is left to ones
imagination.
The evening Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1918-1920, 1919-07-30

Powers would not assent to that. 1t
one of the States of the Federal
Union should declare that after pc
Rod of ten years it would refuse to
make any contribution of men or
money for national defense we should
have a parallel case.
Mr.. Hughes evidently sees that the
ten year limitation is out of the ques-
ton. He proposes a reservation de-
claring that "the United States of
America assumes no obligation under
said Article to undertake any mill
tary expedition or to employ its arm
ed forces on land or sea unless such
action is authorized by the Congress
of the United States of America,
which has the exclusive authority to
declare war, or to determine for the
United States of America whether
there is any obligation on its part
under said Article" The United
States has no authority to make
treaties that violate its Constitution.
1t is perfectly evident that by ratify-
ing the Treaty the Senate would not
be consenting to the slightest i'm
pairment of the constitutional right
of Congress to declare war and to
authorize the use of military forces.
MI. Hughes reservation upon this
point is merely a solemn statement
of what everybody knows to be true,
His other reservations have evil
IDENTIFY been drawn with a careful pur-
pose to avoid anything in the nature
of an amendment to the Treaty. I'M
migration and tariff duties are ex-
clusively questions Of domestic policy,
beyond the interference of the
League. The Monroe Doctrine is al
ready safeguarded by the covenant as
it stands; Mr.. Hughes merely notes
down specifications amply covered by
the general principle. His first reser-
walton concerning withdrawal from
the League, might be objected to by
some of the signatory Powers, since
it sets up for the United States the
right to determine whether its inter-
national obligations have been fulfill
ed the time of withdrawal. That
would be a point of honor. Mr.
Hughes certainly does not intend that
we should claim the right to withdraw
in disregard Of honorable obligations
Nobody would construe his first res.
ervation in that manner, and, that
construction being excluded, it means
only what the League provision says
First we heard from Mr.. Root, who
would expunge Article X altogether
then from Mr.. Taft, who would limi
its obligations to a period of tel
years. Either Of these reservation
would kill the Treaty. Now MI
Hughes touches Article X with S,
light hand that he docs not modif.
or affect it at all. 1t is all yer.
-, significant. The tircless efforts o
Chairman Hays, and the growing con
Germ of the Republican Senators, VIII
still feel some responsibility for tn
fate of their party, are having thci
inevitable effect The opposition t

The Phoenix High school has a most
artistic exhibit in color and design.
Cordelia Perkins, the instructor, has
advanced an intensive course in the
subject, making it more practical than
the art course of a year ago. 1t is her
idea to later apply the study of in
terror decoration, home planning and
costume design. While the art is fea-
tured, good space is given to hand and
machine made wearing apparel, with
rnade-over dresses feature. Domes-
tic science and manual training, with
examples OF the work in physics and
biology complete the display. The
Phoenix city schools, in space hardly
large enough to feature it's exhibit, has
showing of its manual training and
domestic science departments. Pen
manship and drawing are also shown.
The Phoenix Indian school is in the
professional class in its manufacture
of tools. Small carpenter tools, those
tools used for every conceivable piece
