The swing around the circle 10
originally projected had relation solely
to sounding and Influencing public
sentiment on the subject Of the peace
treaty. The President was advised be-
fore he left Paris of the strength Of
the Senate's opposition to the pact, and
he determined upon his course then.
He decided to appeal to the people in
addresses delivered at their homes.
When he returned this purpose was
firmly held and publicly proclaimed.
The treaty is still very much in his
Hind and in the public mind. It ID

position has not been withdrawn OF

Two aspects of the railroad situation
present themselves acutely at this
time. One is the. demand for higher
wages, the other is the demand for the,
J naturalization of the lines. They are.
interrelated because of Simultaneous
presentation, but they should be, con-
sidered separately on their merits.
Railroad naturalization, under
taken temporarily as a. war measure
to secure greater coordination Of
service and to insure. a maximum Of
efficiency in emergency, is a matter
upon which all the people Of the coun-
trx have right to be heard, for upon
all the people will rest the burden of
purchase; on them will fall, if the ex-
pefiment falls as an economic propo-
sifion, the cost Of maintenance.
Buy the railroads, or we will strike,
and tie up the transportation system
