PRESIDENT DEFENDS THE TREATY.

The strongest feature OF President Wilson's
defense of the treaty he has just presented to
the senate is found in his argument that the
world has moved into new era, Old political
systems had been completely melted by the
fierce heat of the conflict, and 'out of these
great enterprises of liberty sprang opportuni-
ties to attempt what statesmen had never be-
fore found the way to do To secure the
fruits of victory, to make certain the great
efforts had not been in vain and that triumph
won might not be dissipated new alignment
of the forces of all nations was needed. This
is provided in the covenant for the League
of Nations. Its early fruits may be bitter to
some, says the president, but it guarantees that
the great conference at Paris will not be
ephemeral.
Mr. Wilson argues plausibly, adroity, and
with sympathetic appeal for the treaty and the
pact The one without the other is but "a
scrap of paper" and will be disappointment
to the masses of mankind. This aspect, and it
will be the controlling consideration in decid
ing the fate of the treaty, he puts in these
words:
Statesmen might see difficulties, but the
people could see none, and could brook no
denial. A war IN which they had Deen Dled
white to beat the terror that lay concealed in
every balance of power must not end in a
mere victory of arms and a new balance.
This is a direct challenge to the senate @on
the score of the unquestoned popularity of any
plan that promises to avert war. Europe is
exhausted by the struggle, and America has no
genius for militarism. On this fact the presi-
dent relies, and while he outlines reasons for
all the actions taken at Paris, it is plain his
hope for the ultimate ratification of the treaty
rests on the belief that citizens, without regard
to party, willing to try any plan that prom
Uses peace to the world
Debate before the senate committee and in
the senate itself will most certainly bring out in
detail much that is obscured in the general
statement. interpretations that may be given
to definite proposals contained in the conven-
ton must be considered in their application to
American affairs. Considerable divergence Of
opinion already has been developed on this, and
it is not entirely clear as to how far we are
being obligated in our national life. Only by
full consideration, which has not yet been had,
will it be developed if the course marked out
by the president actually leads to the goal
sought.
No division of opinion exists as to the pur-
pose; similar unaninity may not be had as to
methods, but entirely frank debate of the
treaty, and to the fullest extent, will do no harm.

Future Treasury Operations.

Secretary Glass takes the view that not
within four years at least will another bond
issue be required to keep the United States
States treasury solvent. The only remarkable
feature of this statement is that it should be
made. Since 1917 it has been necessary for the
government to enter upon borrowing of great
magnitude that its operations might be financed.
Most of this borrowing is ascribable to the war,
but not ALL
We have not forgotten that for the fiscal
year of 1916 the deficit in the treasury grew at
the rate of million dollars day, and that this
rate was materially increased during the nine
months of the 1917 year that elapsed prior to
the beginning of the war period. Thus the
federal government was faced with the neces-
sity of extensive borrowing to carry on its bust
ness, tor the very reason that the democratic
congress refused or neglected to provide rev.
enue to meet the expenditures it authorized.
To meet the ordinary peace time require
ments OF the government for the future be-
tween two and three billions annually will be
needed. To this must be added the interest
charge of practically another billion, and some
provision for the sinking fund to retire the
short time loans represented by the Victory
bonds and the war savings stamps. This gives
assurance that not within the Victory loan
period of four years at least will much reduc-
ton of the federal tax rate be possible. For
the year 1920 this is already fixed at an esti-
mated production of four billions in revenue.
1t may be accepted as settled that the
present congress will give to the problem the
closest attention. A saving of more than
ST 200 600 900 has already been ACCOMPLISHED by
the rewriting of appropriation measures sent
forward from the democratic house of the last
congress. No effort to hamper or restrict the
proper management and development of pub
lie activities is anticipated, but more reason
able supervision of the expenses of government
is assured. Mr.. Glass is justified in his optn-
! ism by the fact that the congress is republican,
and is not given to either lavish reckless use
of public funds nor to unwise and oppressive
| revenue legislation.

Of course it is not serious. A thousand Of
tenders against law have INDUCED in like

stripes as preferable to doubtful hereafter.
Death, for millions of other men. doesn't

Helping Nature in a Pinch.

An Italian surgeon is making his co-workers
throughout the world sit up and take notice
He has devised means whereby, through the
application of skillful surgery, it is possible to
connect whatever is left of natural limb after
mutilation with artificial one, and by COM
bining the two to largely restore the natural
function of the member Details of the process
will be of more interest to the surgeon than to
the lay reader, but it sounds reasonable and is
said to be giving highly surprising results.
Nothing connected with the great war is more
Illuminating than the wonders achieved by the
surgeons. Skill and understanding, aided by
imagination and a great desire to help man,
brought about discoveries and improvements in
processes so remarkable as ito obtain the COM
mendation of the doctors themselves. To be
sure, they never had the same chance to put
into practice laboratory notions or to carry on
extensive experimentation on living subjects
but the miracles not only OF curative but
restorative surgery accomplished in the hos
pitfalls more than justfes the daring of some
inceptions or the boldness of certain original
processes. Short of actually growing new
limb where one has been taken off, the doctors
are giving nature about all the aid she might
reasonably expect

Farmers and Farmers

Letters purporting to come from farmers of
the wheat states are deluging congress to such
an extent that Chairman Gronna of the senate
committee on agriculture is already almost
moved to bring in bill to repeal the law guar
anteeing $2.26 bushel to the wheat-growers.
The real farmer with big crop of wheat in
hand who writes such letter is asking con-
gress on his own behalf to change certainty
for an uncertainty. The price of $226 is big
price. It guarantees to him big profits. He
has admitted that this would be the case by
planting more acres to wheat than ever before
Now that the greatly enlarged acreage has
brought an unprecedented yield he is thus by
his own admission in the way of feaping the
big profits, and the government has bound
itself to hand those profits over to him as his
crop is marketed. & -. re- p
Is II at the moment of this assured ingather-
ing OF the huge profits that the average wheat
grower would put away the proffered fathess Of
fortune and besiege congress to turn him over
to the uncertainties of Chieag o-made market?
Those hofny-handed planters and harvesters
who most do congregate in the Chicago wheat
pit have had no chance for some years to make
and unmake wheat crop, with prices to suit,
ten times over in a season. There is yet time
for them, with the government guarantee re-
moved, first to double the estimated harvest of
1919 and put prices way down, and then to
halve it and put prices way up against the starv-
ing of Europe as we'll as the overburdened
American consumer.
Are these letters to congress the spontaneous
expression of farmers scattered. over half the
United States, or of farmers who toll and sweat
