a RENEGADE ALLY.

The American people did not go to
war to enable Italy to grab Fiume and
Dalmatia. The Italians themselves
did not go to war for that purpose,
though lately they seem to have for
gotten that fact If, in the sacred
egoism" of victory which is greater
than they expected, and which we
helped them win, they make demands
that violate the principles we have
fought for, there is nothing for the
United States to do but bid Italy a
regretful good-by.
What has become Of all the fine
professions with which Italy entered
and waged the war? Americans were
with her heart and soul when she
fought to free her "unredeemed' peo-
pie from a foreign yoke and make
herself safe from future menace. We
gave Italy our friendship and moral
support. We lent her vast sums Of
money. We sent her food, arms and
soldiers And then she undertook to
belle and betray, in the peace settle
ment, the fundamental principles of
the allied cause to which she her
self had subscribed.
Having won her Own 'Irredenta," !"

Mexico declares to the world that
she, does not recognize the Monroe
Doctrine, but the time may come
again, as it did in 1867. when the
Meucans win be crying for the pro-
lection of this same doctrine.
The statement of President Wan
namaker of the Cotton Association
that he has discovered that there are
men in South Carolina and ether
Southern States actively engaged
sighting the movement Of the farmers
and other loyal citizens to create an
Organization that will be able to
finance and market the cotton crop
without dictation by outside interests
causes no surprise in well informed
circles. There are men in the South
who have always bitterly antagoniz-
ed any and every effort of the farmers
to obtain a fair price for cotton. The
independence OF the cotton farmers
is fhe last thing that those who grow
rich BY manipulating the cotton
market desire. When it is impos
sible to force the sale Of cotton at
any price that the Spectators may
see ft to offer whole lot Of idle rich
vii have to get down to real hard
work.

Buy Victory Bonds-Why?

CIV. F. Stevenson, Member of Con-
gress)
South Carolina should subscribe and
take her quota of Victory Bonds
For economic reasons:
(a) Because the investment is safe
and the income as good as ordinary
investments after taxes are paid.
(b) Because to do so means a sav-
ing by our people and this is spirit
badly needing cultivation in South
Carolina.
Co And because the holder Of
Cnited States bonds is always able to
command money on his bonds if he
needs it. He has standing in the
financial world second to none.
For patriotic reasos:
(a) Because our government needs
the money and South Carolina has a
large interest in our government as
at present constituted, and in the lam
guage of Holy Writ should Show
her faith by her works
(b) Because our boys are still in
Europe and their pay, support and
return expenses must be met from the
proceeds of this loan, and we want TO
do our part in this good work.
(c) Because there are thousands
of manned soldiers and more thou
sands of dependants of those who
have perislled whose support is guar
antced by the government and 1t IS
compelled 10 get this money TO pay
allotments, allowances compensation
and insurance, as provided by law, or
let these wards OF the nation suffer.
If you can help to do this and still
get a good investment for yourself
why not do it?

THE ITALIAN CLAIMS.

With two of the five big powers
represented at Paris most Americans
have lost patience lately, because they
showed so little of the spirit which
has been supposed to animate the
aIlies in this war, and which Ameri-
cans have hoped to see prevail III
the peace settlement. Those nations
are, Japan and Italy. And Of the two
Italy has probably been the more IL
ritating. because from her more was
expected.
The case has been we'll put by 4
blunt article, in the New Republic.
Commenting on the recent statement
made by the Italian embassy that
italy was on the verge Of revolution
as, aresult of a fuel and food famine,
the writer says:
tasThis being the case, this having
been the case for months, what have
we heard from the Italian govern
ment That she wants coal and food;
that she wants to start her industries? :?
Not at all. Fiume and Dalmatia,
Dalmati, and Fiume, naval bases,
strategic crests, the Adriatic as an
Italian AXE, the frightful danger to
Italy from the nonresident Jugo-
Siav may, rocks and inlets, and
mountata villages and fishing ports,
and everything but the truth.
''Whei Italy's friends have said to
her staesmen that economic life
could not be revived by strangling
the trade Of Central Europe, they
would net listen. Faced with an ir1a-
minent evolution at home they have
actually threatened twice to cult the
Eonfererre at Paris because they
could not plant their flag on the sa=es
OF other peoples territory. They have
wasted sympathy; they have stirred
up NO enl Of irritation; they have put
Italy ID The worst possible light be-
fore the world.
ssWho pays? The common people
Of Italy. The peasants and the
Yrorkmen They starve. They are
unassistel because the Italian officials
under th. influence Of special money
ed grour and intoxicated with the
notion ofbeing a ruling power have
consistently sabotaged the peace ne
gotiations raised a. hue and cry ovci
side issues and left unarSued the real
needs Of Italy,
This is drastic, but as every well
informed American must recognize,
it is deserved. Italy has endangered
the worlds peace by insisting on the
technical nlflluent Of a secret treaty
made cary in the war Offering he,
not only crent and Trieste but also
Fiume ard the Dalmatian coast
That was desperate proffer made by
Britain anl France at a desperate
tirac. America had not entered the
war. The purposes Of the Allies hac
not becon, fixed. The moral and po.
liticaI issus were not yet clear. Tho
world trused and admired Italy be
cause she professed only to be de-
tending theright and seeking to brins
her own "ureemed'' people back into
the. nationa fold.
The war inally boiled down to two
or three sinples issues Of right ane
wrong, chief among them being the
right Of evey people to "selfdeter
mination." The war was won. New
nations werecreated, with their need:
and rights. Italy having won Tren

Johnson Fighting League.

Senator Hiram W. johnson Of Cali.
fornia last Saturday concluded his
western speaking tour against accep-
lance OF the league Of nations
covenant without amendments and
returned TO Washington to renew his
fight on the document IN the senate.
Senator Johnson is author OF what Is
called the SO TO amendment" which
aims to equa'ize the vote OF the
British empire In the assembly of the
league. As drawn the covenant gives
Great Britain and her colonies six
votes to each OF the other nations
one IN the assembly.
In a statement Senator johnson
says at first the people. desiring
some plan to prevent war, readily
accepted the league plan upon the
mere word Of advocates, who, them.
selves, had not yet examined the
contents of the treaty and the
covenant, nor analized the obligations
imposed upon the United States by
the peace conference. Since the true
Significance OF the contents OF the
document are becoming better known
ne says there Is growing among the
people an opposition to the covenant.
The facts, he says, are now becoming
known. In one of his speeches,
be said: "As we learned more Of II,
we began to understand the dangers
with which this covenant was
fraught.n
Also-"Had l my way, / would
have the United States live in amity
with all peoples but have entanglipp
alliances with none of them"
He quoted from the covenant to
support his argument that the league
as planned would be detrimental to
America. Hesdeclared it was tanta-
mount to comforting on foreign
powers the exercise of Americas
participation in foreign affairs. Eight
men, sitting 10 Geneva. all foreigners,
he SAID. could and would determine
the course OF the United States 10
world quarrels in which this country
would be dragged TO assist in the
settlement OF matters In which she
could have no concern.
