1t was stated after the American

Experts who attended the meeting
Of the council yesterday said that
the members looked Completely
worn out" but the President today
showed no outward evidence of this
strain, as he wore his usual buoyant
smile.
All indications point to the fact
that Premier Lloyd George and
Premier Clemenceau are standing
sQuarely- with the President on the
Italian issue, thus presenting a united
front of the principal great powers.
Further written statements have thus

But friends of the President took
steps today to relieve him from being

In the meantime it can be stated
that President Wilson's copy of his

BERLIN. April 26.-The withdrawal
of the Italian delegates from the
peace conference is treated here as a
have much greater effect than is
now apparent. The situation is dis
cussed eagerly from the standpoint Of
Germany's interests.
1t is argued that President Wilson's
insistence upon settling the Fiume
question from a standpoint of justice
and the application of the fourteen
Germany on the same basis. The Ger
man viewpoint is that the cession Of
the Saar region to France and the in
clusion Of millions of Germans in the
Czech and Polish states amount to a
surrender by President Wilson on his
own fourteen points. In some quar-
ters it is urged that Italy is as fully
is in claiming the Saar basin.
Government Is Shaky.
The peace settlement continues to
dominate the internal political situa-
ton, which, while looking more
promising than it. was a fortnight
ago. is. felt to be precarious The
current talk heard on all sides is
that everything depends on the
terms Germany will be compelled to
sign or reject. The fate of the gov
ernment itself is involved in the
character of the peace Foreign cor
respondents hear such talk so con-
sistantly that it is difficult to believe
it to be case of concerted camouf1age
The argument is advanced that the
government itself rests on a sandy
foundation, which is steadily shifting
and must grow still more insecure
If the people are compelled to accept
a. peace which would shatter the
economic structure, which is al
ready tottering or would wrest from
Germany distinctly German terri
tory
Radicals Gain Ground.
The precarious condition of the gov
ernment is also aggravated by the
fact that the following of the major
ity socialists is rapidly drifting to the
party of the left, causing the inde-
pendent socialists to assume a strong
and confident tone claiming that the
time is not far distant when they will
be- able to organize a radical govern
ment exclusively socialist
Nevertheless, it is evident that for
the moment the governments posi-
tion has been strengthened BY ener-
getic action and the announcement
of martial law for Saxony and the de-
cision to send Prussian assistance to
Hoffman, which is expected to quench
the bolshevist conflagration in Munich
by next week.

PROMISE FULFILLED

Those who questioned the good faith of the Republican
promise, if given control of the two branches of the congress, to
reduce the high cost of living, adjust industrial conditions and
otherwise bring about an ideal situation in this country, must
feel very keenly the injustice of their skeptcism in the face of
the forward step taken by the house in an effort to get to
the bottom of things. For, right off the reel, so to speak, Chair
man Frear, spurred on by race riots, street car and shipyard
strikes, packer profiteering and a multitude Of other activities
and agitaions, is going to HE himself, taking his committee with
him, from the humid climate Of the District to the cooling
breezes of the Northwest, and launch right into the spruce pro-
duction. In order that the country may know in advance where
the responsibility for the high cost of spruce rests, Mr. Homer
S. Cummings, chairman of the national Democratic committee,
was called as a witness, and out Of his own mouth it was
developed that the price Of spruce was advanced under the
administration of a Democratic president, and at a time when
the Democrats were in control of both branches of the congress.
Senator Kenyon may get no response from his Republican col
leagues in his effort to license the packers and prohibit profteer-
ing; the Republicans may ignore the charge OF profteering on
the part of manufacturers and wholesalers in other food com
modhes; the price of clothing may continue to soar to dizzy
heights, until ultimately it is out of sight the price of gasoline
may be advanced to % cents, and continue its upward flight in
the face Of the greatest production in the history OF the world
all this and more, too, without attracting or exciting the atten-
ton of a Republican congress; but the price Of spruce, by Heck,
has got to come down, or the Democratic party confess itself
incapable of running the government.

DUE TO CLIMATE

1t is always a pleasure to disagree with the New York Sun.
That newspaper is so uniformly wrong that one cannot help but
feel that a difference of opinion with it is a stamp of approval
and an achievement in accuracy that ought not to be held
lightly. of' .
The race riots in Washington the Sun attributed to the
dominance of the Democratic party, which might have been
really serious except for the reason that the Republicans are IN
control of both branches Of the congress.
The race riots in East st. Louis, of course, were directly
attributable to the failure to enforce the fourteenth and fifteenth
amendments to the federal constitution in Mississippi.
And finally, while the race riots continue to run their course
in the North, the Sun runs out of excuses, and when the one
took place in Chicago it just charged it to the weather and let
it go at that, in this language;
On tho heels Of the dtEraceful riots in Washington comes the Same thing
