England and the Tariff.

The English are talking tariff. /. At
present the subject is of prime inn
portanee to them. A condition; not q
theory; confronts them. They must re-
vive their trade, which the war has left
in rather a dislocated, state, and in
doing so must take into account the
trade dislocations existing IN other
countries.
While free trade has been. the ac-
eepted British policy, there has always
been protection sentiment in England,
and at times it has found vigorous ex-
preston. 1t is finding vigorous expires.
sion now. The protectionists are in
evidence, with suggestions about what
should be done to start all wheels to
turning proGtably again.
So are the free traders. They are
unconverted by any economic changes
the war has wrought, and insist that
their policy is as good for these times
as it proved to be for pre-war times.
They object most earnestly to any
modification of it.
The late Joseph Chemberiin would
have reveled in the present opportun-
ity. While very elective debater,
he was III no sense an orator. His
business training had been thorough.
His business success was conspicuous.
He liked economic questions, and dis
cussed them, in parliament and out,
frequently and illuminatingly-dis.

A Futile, Dangerous Amendment.

A feeling appears to prevail that
the Shantung amendment proposed by
the Senate fore gn relations commit
tee WI! ia l of adopt on IN the Senate.
This IS greatly 10 be hoped. and the
sooner the action is taken definitely re-
ject .ng that proposal the better for
the international situation and the
prestige of the United States. :
Disapproval of the committee s
course in recommending treaty amend
ments. particularly in respect to Shan
tuns. is being expressed so freely and
widely AS to leave no doubt of the at
titude of the country on the subject.
1t is recognized that adoption of this
particular amendment would be not
only futile, as regards the settlement
of the tar eastern matter, but would
put the United States in the extremely
enbarrass ng, if not dangerous, posi-
ton of f1outing the pledge of Japan to
w thdraw from Shantung at the earh-
est possible time.
The amendment. if adopted. would
be futile, for there would remain the
agreement between England, France
and Japan respecting that settlement,
which would stand even if repudiated
by this government. Without any
form Of international organization to
compel observance of national rights
the United States would be incapable
of putting its, protest into effect.
As for the effect upon Japan of the
adoption of this amendment there can
be no doubt. Suppose the case re-
versed, and the United States pledged
in formal. solemn manner to per-
form certain act of restitution or
reparat;on to another nation, and
Japan through a, branch of its legis-
lature were to declare that she had no
confidence in our good faith and de-
nounced the situation basicaEy 1t is
needless to. do more than suggest the
ind'gnat; on that would be felt by every
American. =, 80
If we could by any senatorial pro-
-nouncement correct the, fault of the
secret treaty by virtue Of which Japan
succeeds Germany at Shantung, for a
period, there would doubtless be gem
eral Endorsement OF the measure by
the people of this country. But there
is no way to do this. The matter has
passed beyond our scope. We can 60
on record as dep1oring the fact, as de-
nouncing if we will the writing OF Sc
sret treaties that do not recognize
the rights Of nations. But we cannot
change the condition. Our representa-
t;ves at Paris have done the utmost pos
sible. and an effort to amend the treaty
now is fraught with grave danger.

Some have said" remarked NJ.
Knecht, that Foreign Minister Stephen
Pichon was not in harmony with the
views Of the American delegation, and
that Premier Clemenceau thought OF
rendering his resignation. These stories
are false and we hasten real peace by
denying them. We have not naturally
the Same views on all matters, but our
delegates and yours have always under
stood each other and reached until now
the same conclusion"
In his address on Syria, France and

France IL extremely grateful TO the

given to Syria and tho Maronite Mis-

special Despo,ch TO rap Sun.

WASHINGTON, March so.--The two
dozen Democrats trying to displace
Champ Clark as minority floor leader OF
tho House in the next Congress went of
on new tack tonight. They asserted
that a different sort of leadership was
necessary II the Administration was TO
be defended in the Republican investi-
cations OF the Iaxness, extravaganza and
inefficiencY OF the Wilson Administration.
Representative Rainey tIll.), who
ranl;s next to Representative Kitchin
IN. c. among the Democratic re,rhers
OF the Ways and Means Committee. has
been induced to lead the fight against
Mr.. Clark after the insurgents had IA lied
to force their banner into the hands Of
Mr.. kitchin, Mr.. Gallivan (Mass.) and
Mr.. Ferris (Okla.). Accordingly Mr..
Rainey at the instance OF the Demo
cratic reorganization committee" issued
this statement attacking Mr.. Clark:
The way TO escape the kind Of leader
ship we have been having in the past
is to submit the control OF the Demo-
cratic minority in the next House to a
steering committee. II Is a. well known
fact that throughout the war leaders
Of the Democratic majority OF the House
were not in sympathy with the Admins
tration and there was no attempt on
their part to conceal their hostility to the
Administration and the ministration
plans for orga nisation of the army and
carrying TO q successful conclusion our
participation In tho great war.
ut would be particularly unfortunate
at the present time to place the Demo-
cratic Administration between two fires.
We can expect all sorts OF investiEa-
lions to be inaugurated by the Repub-
lican majority in the House. We ought
to at least have a Democratic organiza-
ton and a minority leader who will de-
fend the Administration when 1t ought
to be defended.
"A militant minority leader properly
elected by the steering committee, which
cannot be said to be sectional in char
acter. acting in harmony with the Dem
ocratic Administration, may retrieve the
losses of last November. The Demo
cratic party is not sectional. There are
more Democrats in Illinois. a Northern
State, than there are in several Southern
States.
"A steering committee such as is pro-
posed will Offset the argument often
used with so much effect that the Demo-
cratic party Is merely a party OF the
South. regard II as of the greatest
Importance that the Democratic minor
ity in the next House act in harmony
with the Administration, and my duty
as see IL compels me to support the
plans OF the Democratic reorganization
committee"
