British Pact Differs.
The treaty between Great Britain
and France differs in the following
manner from the treaty between the
United States and France:
The preamble does not state that
an aggression by Germany against
France is regarded as a hostile act
against all the powers signatory to
the treaty of Versailles, or that the
stipulations concerning the left bank
protection to Great Britain, but
merely mentions that they. do not
assure security and appropriate pro-
lection to the French republic.

LET THE REPUBLICANS ACT.

At least two opportunities have
been given to the republican con-
gress to move toward reduction in
the cost of living without at the same
time impairing the wages of work
ers or the fair profits of producers.
The Federal Trade Commission s
reports on the packing industry,
which is charged with an attempt to
restrain trade and monopolize the
production and distribution of staple
foods, and Governor Cox's attack on
exploiters and profiteers in Ohio, give
inspiration and occasion for con-
gressiOnal inquiry and remedy II the
republicans really wish to legislate
for the entire country instead of
acting or emitting to act for the be-
hoof of special interests.
There is a general feeling that
[outrun any fair ratio to the cost of
production and distribution. There
is a conviction that those who supply
the public need for food and cloth
ing and other commodities are ma
nipulating and protiteering without
conscience or curb.
The people look to the republican
congress for action that will correct
the conditions of which the Federal
Trade Commission and Governor
Cox-among thOusands-are COM
planning. There can be no escape
from this duty to the people with
out mourning the odium of indiffer-
ence to the countrys welfare or the
guilt of collision with the profiteers.
The democrats have shown the way.
Let the republican majority suit its
acts to the necessities.
