The Intelligencer does not believe

the league Of nations. Any agreement
that the United States. or an indfvidu-

in some degree. il Is not 3 question Of
whether or not our freedom Of action
is limited by the league Of nations. It
is a question OF whether or not our
action Is so limited that We cannot DO
the things that are best for ourselves
and for the world at largo Every
treaty we have limits our freedom of
action. Such treaties forbid US to take
the territory Of our neighbora- to de-
stroy their property or to invade their
lands Every law that Is passed limits
the freedom Of action Of individuals, but
only as to those things In which free
dom should be limited voluntarily and
morally. The covenant Of the league OF
nations binds US to use our powers, and
our moral influence for peace, some
thing we would do in any event It also
binds other nations to do the same
thing, something which they might not
do in any event. The covenant lays no
obi cations upon the United States that
it does not lay upon every other
country. It places no responsibilities
upon US which every country does not
assume. Moreover. il the operations OF

THE INDUSTRIAL OUTLOOK

According to the Federal Reserve

to normal conditions with a very notice
able upward trend In commodity prices,
and great activity IN certain Ines,
especially those relatmg to retail trades,
which noW have tho released buying

Autumn OF UNUSUAL activity, especially
in agriculture and merchandise The
country. it.saya. seems to DO passing
through a period Of FREQ expenditure or
reaction from the enforced economy Of
the var period II the present activity
IS based principally on these causes, the
reaction therefrom may be looked for

IN the above analysis OF the industri-
al situation. the War Board gives an in

forced economies during the war period
have been lifted. and naturally. consid-
cradle buying for immediate wants may
be expected. However. under present
eondfeiouSWe are not likely to have a
great-anount of new construction work.
No new railroads are being built and
important enterprises involving large
su1ps Of money are not being under
taken by individuals or by corporations.

THE CONDITIONS OF EUROPE

Mr.. Frank A. Vandcrlip. president Of
the National City Bank Of New York, AN
authority on international finance,
paints a gloomy picture on European
conditions. Mr.. VandcrIip believes that
the industry and commerce Of Europe
will not be restored for number OF
years; that the plane Of living through
out practically all Of continental Europe
has been definitely lowered. and that
for many years to come. America will
have to play the part Of the banker and
the guardian for European commercial
and industrial life In other words. we
will be able to sell Europe less. and we
will be compelled to take more Of Euro
pean products in exchange for monetary
advances which We may have TO make.
II has been the record OF previous great
wars that the worlds recovery from
them surprised even the most careful
students. but the war through which
Europe has passed had no precedent
It was not a war of armies, but waR

OF high sounding words which suggest
a great deal. but which when carefully

PREPARES LAND PROGRAM
FOR RETURNING TROOPS

Secretary Wilson of the Depart
ment of Labor is seeking develop
ment of the natural resources of the
country upon a scale that will provide
opportunities for the returned SOL
dier and will create conditions max
ing for permanent employment, ac-
cording to an. article in the Monthly
Labor Review for April.
The land program OF the Lapor
Department is incorporated in bill
which was introduced in the last
Congress by Representative NJ. Clyde
Kelly of Pennsylvania. but which
failed of passage. 1t will again be
presented when the Sixty-sixth Con-
eress convenes in extra session.
Foremost among the development
plans which the department advocates
and which is provided for in the
Kelly bill is the provision OF ready
made farms. under a community or
colonization system. The scope OF
indicated by the Secretary, as fol-
lows:
"Judsing from the experience Of
Australia and other countries, vast
amount of false motion can be saved
by the preparation of ready-made
farms and through the e. development n;9r
unit rather than the isolated farm
INIT. Demonstration farms. run by
the state and located at the center
of the colonies, form an important
feature Of the Australian system. On
these farms pure bred cattle and
other live stock may be raised and
sold at cost to the settlers. These
farms are used, too, for training new
settlers under the direction OF an
agricultural adviser.
aft seems to be common opinion
that community life should be re-
ouired for the returned soldier. He
cannot be expected to settle down in
a needless rural isolation. The SOL
dier settler must be provided with
modern facilities for cooperative ef-
fort. These apply to marketing, pur-
chasing and his other needs"
