Mr. Untermyer told the committee
that neither under the wartime pro-

amendment could congress say that
any particular percentage of alcohol

q
saving law was rescued from repeal
today by President Wilson's veto of
the agricultural appropriation bill.
The president also vetoed the sun
dry civil appropriation bill because,
he said, by restriction of funds it
crippled the work of rehabilitating
and restoring disabled soldiers and
sailors to civil life.
The latter veto was accepted with
out contest by congress and the sundry
civil bill went back to committee to
be reframed.
Veto of daylight saving repeal was
not accepted so readily although the
prevailing opinion was that neces-
sary two-thirds vote to repass it over
the presidents veto probably would
not be mustered
The first test will come in the house
Monday, when, according to announce
ment, Republican Leader Mondell or
Chairman Haugen of the agriculture
committee will move the re-passage
of the bill. with the daylight saving
repeal intact, over the presidential
veto.
Both bills provide funds for which
agencies of the government long have
been waiting. They are already
months behind schedule because they
failed of passage in the last congress.

Paris July 12.--Before leaving for
the United States, tonight, Secretary
Lansing made the following statement
to the American correspondents:
MANY thoughts rush to mind on
leaving the peace conference after six
months of effort. Never before has
such an international gathering been
held, for here has been the meeting
ground of twcnty-seven nations to
1iquidate u world war and establish
new order and a laboratory where al
ready n system of world cooperation
has been born, out of necessity.
"Out of it all has come the most
important international document
ever drawn--the treaty of peace with
Germany, a document which not only
meets the issues of the present war,
but also lays down new agreements
of the most helpful and hopeful char
aCter The nations are bound togeth-
er to avert another world catastrophe,
backward peoples are given a new
hope for their future; several racial
entities are, liberated to form new
states--a beginning is made toward
removing unjust economic restrictions
and the great military autocraeies of
central Europe are Destroyed as the
first step in a general disarmament.
Treaty Not Perfect.
"The treaty Is. of course, not all
that we had hoped fun. IL could hard-
ly be expected to be. Too many con-
fIicting interests were involved as well
as too many legitimate documents
which would tax the most perfectly
balanced mind. Nearly everyone will
find in it weaknesses both of omis-
sion and commission, provisions in
serted which might better have been
left out, and provisions left out which
might better have been inserted.
such a document must, however.
be examined both against the back
ground of its creation and in the largo
sweep of its spirit. From that point
of view we may call 1t a stepping stone
from the old International methods
to the new. If 1t still holds some Of
the distrusts and hatreds of the war
which Germany has full we'll earned
herself. II its construction has been
hindered by memories of secret pacts
and promises, 1t must be borne in
mind that it carries with 1t the oVi-
dent purpose to throw Off the old
methods of international intrigue and
plotting.
But the present treaties are but
the starting point of world recon-
struction Now that the general prin-
ciples have been laid down it remains
to execute them. And by that I mean,
not so much retributive action against
nations which have recently run
amuck in the world, but rather the
cleansing and healing processes that
shall really make good our hopes and
aspirations.

In regard to the agricultural bill,

munication to the house of represent
atives: -.s..-

tions for the department of agricul-

Realizes Inconvenience.
Il realize, of course, the grave in
convenience which may arise from
the postponement of the legislation at
this time, but feel obliged to withhold
my signature because of the clause
which provides that AT and after 2
o'clock on Sunday, October 26, 1919,
next, the act entitled An act to save
daylight and to provide standard time
for the United states, approved March
10. 1918, be, and the same hereby is
repealed
II believe that the act referred to
would be of very great Inconvenience
to the country, and | think | am JUS
titled in saying that it would consti-
tute something more than an incon-
venence. 1t would involve a serious
economic loss. The act of March 10,
1918, to save daylight resulted not
only from a careful stGdy of indus
trial conditions by competent men ia
miliar with the business operations
of the country, but also from obser-
vation of the happy and beneficial
consequences of similar legislation in
other countries where legislation of
this character has been for some time
in operation, and where it, as the act
of March 19. 1919, has resulted in the
United States, in substantial ecOno-
mics. The act was intended to place
the chief business activities of the
country as nearly as might be within
tP" limits of daylight throughout the
year. It resulted in very great econo-
mics of fuel and in substantial econo-
my Of energy. because of the very diff
ferent effect of work done in the day
light and work done by artificial light
"It, moreover, served the daily con-
VenienCe Of the many munities of
the country in way which gave all
but universal satisfaction and theI
Overwhelming testimony of its valueI
which has come to me convinces mel
that I should not be justified in ac-I
quiescing in its repeal"
Sundry Civil Bill.
In regard to the sundry civil bill,
the president in another communca-
ton to the house, said:
Under the vocational rehabilitation
bill, which became law June 27, 1918,
the congress has sought to fulfill theI
execution of the country what theI
soldier, sailor or marine disabled inI
the recent war should be given an op-
portunity to secure at the expense andI

Corridor Plan Abandoned.

1t had originally been intended toi
make a strip along the western border
Of Hungary neutral corridor for
communication between Czecho-I
Sloyakia and ,mgo-SlaN.a, This pro-,
ject has now been abandoned and the
corridor territory, peOpled by several
hundred thousand folk whose GermanI
blood presupposes their wish to be in
corporated into the Austrian repub-I
lie, together with their Teutonc neigh
bors, is to be definitely annexed to the
Austrian stale. The strip in question:
is known as the Oedenburgh region.
Austria has also gained since june
2 tho northern half of the Klagen-
furt basin, including the city Of thatI
name. While this district is not yet
officially under the political control
of Vienna, it is occupied by Austrianl
troops, by permission of the confer
ence, and it will undoubtedly pass overI
wholly to Austria through the pie
hiscitc that will be held there. The,
southern part of the basin will so toI
the Serbs. Croats and Slovenes.

As against these gains the Austrian
government seems destined to loseI

Undoubtedly there is q great dam
ger in the world today, Many people
have thought that the mere signing
of the treaty with Germany marks
the ending of the world peril. Public
opinion seems to have breathedsa sigh
of relief and relapsed back into apa-
thy. Concentration of thought on world
problems is weakening now when it is
most essential, and the forces of dis
Indignation and reaction have given
freedom of action far greater than
when the world was on its guard.
The situation today is serious.
Western civilization is still dazed by
the shock of four and half years OF
destruction. Industry and commerce
are not yet restored All of Europe is
Impoverished; parts of it are starv-
ing. Its whole political fibre has been
shot through. Russia and Hungary arc
grtpped by subversiye political doc
trines; Austria Hungary and Turkey
as empires have ceased to be- Poland
and Czecho Slovakia are struggling to
their feet as members of the family
of nations. All that complicated ma
chinery of society which took decades
to elaborate and a world war to tear
down cannot be replaced over night
by wholly different machinery.
Albuquerque morning journal. [volume] (Albuquerque, N.M.) 1903-1926, 1919-07-13

MANY problems remain unsettled.
Territorial adjustments to secure the
rights of peoples to live under their
own, flag as far as possible in the
tangled skein Of European national
tiles may be made effective. Attain
ment of the Polish frontiers on all
sides, particularly in East Prussia, is
very difficult. The Teschen coal fields
are still source of contention be-
tween Poland and Czecho Solvakia'
Hungary is interrupting the trade of
all central Eudope The Adriatic
problem is still unsolved, as we'll as
the fate of those large territories
formerly under the Turk, including
especially Asia Minor and Armenia.
World craftsmanship will be sore
ly tried in the next few years. Two
things are essentiaf, first, an alert,
interested public opinion,
and second, cooperation of the ma
tions. The former is needed both as a
check on any sinister purposes that
may crop up and as the great support
for common action. the second is esi-
sential, unless the nations are to re-
turn to a selfish particularism which
