GERMAN GENERAL OBJECTIONS.

In their bill of particulars, so to
speak, the Germans have made OBJ IL.
lection to the entire peace treaty,
from principles avowed and which
they say have not been carried out,
to the specific demand for a trial of
the Kaiser. There will be some con-
cessions made, and they have al
ready been commented upon. But the
German response passes over mere
specific incidents of gain, and makes
omnibus demands and protests.
Hence, should there be failure by
Germany to sign the treaty the entire
situation will be claimed as still open
in the hope that later adjustments
might yield more than if the Ger
mans were to center their objections
in certain particulars.
The German generl objections will
not disturb the Allies and the United
States. These know very we'll that
the German official opinion is that
Germany has really gained very much
more consideration than might have
been expected. The concessions with
regard to early admission of Ger
many into the League of Nations, the
concessions with regard to the Saar
Valley and plebiscite for Upper ST.
lesia, if authentic, are considerable
gains for the German delegates.
Hence there is little uneasiness felt
over the objections made by the Ger
mans to the treaty. They will sign
the compact and it will be rapidly
ratified by one and another of the
governments in interest.

BOTH SIDES NEED INFORMATION

The President admits that he does
not know enough about American af-
fairs to make recommendation to
Congress- having been absent so
long. And Congress knows as little
about the peace treaty which the
Senate is expected to ratify.
Now if the President had remained
at home in touch with the burdens
and desires of the people who elected
him, and the Senate had been per-
mltted one or more representatives
at the peace conference, America
would have been in better position
all around.
The Congress knows enough about
home concern to convict the whole
administration of mismanagement,
waste and incompetence. The Pres
ident is familiar with every setting
OF the peace terms, the compromise.

every provision of the treaty. He
can reveal these things to tAe~U. S.
Senate, If he will; ana~the Congress
can 1--WE predict wilD tell him many
things concerning domestic interests
that will not be pleasing to him.
There we have brief outline of
the situation as Congress this week
steps into the job of bringing order
out OF chaos in American affairs.
The Senate wants to know the things
that have been arbitrarily withheld
from it as the American obligations
IN world agairs; and the President
must learn some things at home.
whether he would or not.
Congress will demand to know as
much about our dealings with other
nations as Germany knows, at least.
"Open covenants, openly arrived at ;,
is a Wilsonian farce, but there is no
secrecy, censorship or star chamber
deals to keep from the President the
information he should have on econ
omic and financial conditions in the
United States.
AT the outset it is plain that Meth
er the Congress nor the President
can give the facts that each should
have while the President dallies in

cannot go to Paris as almost the en-
tire administration has done. Thus

HAS ADMINISTRATION PUT ON
SOFT PEDAL?
CFrom Duluth News-Tribune)

(From Duluth News ribune) =.
Has the order gone from Wash
ington, or from the foreign white
house, to again put the soft pedal"
on the prosecution Of the l. W. w.
and others of the red family. The
Minneapolis Journal is Of the opin-
ion that, it has, The reports from
Washington indicate it, and the facts
seem to confirm it.
Yet if this is so, it need surprise
no one. The much heralded deoort-
alton of disloyalists was largely a
bluff. A trainload crossed the coun-
try much like an advertising junket,
but few of the passengers got further
than New York. The country is full
of bolshsvik propagandists. They
hold meetings and send cut litera-
o-called-without any obiec-
ton or restraint. The mails are load
ed with this sort, OF stuff. which is
the rankest of appeals to the worst
and lowest of the population.
The rule of Lenine and the Russian
soviet system are boldly praised and
eXtrolled. A like system is urged for
this country. "The Soviets at Work"
by Lenine, is one of the pamphlets
sent through the mails by the Rand
School of Social Science of New
York. 1t has laudatory introduc-
ton by Russian resident in New
York.
In every city are groups of men
and women who lend their services
to this propaganda and to torment
ing every labor trouble or disturb
ance. They incite and influence wage
workers with or without cause, and
by their methods arouse and reinforce
the stubbornness and alarm of en-
ployers, who sometimes visit upon
the innocent the sins of those plotters.
1t is distinct movement. 1t is
not hidden. 1t does not pretend to
aim at lettering the condition of the
workers and increasing wages. These
are but incidentals used as weapons.
The frank and open purpose is revo-
luton, and nothing less. 1t is to or
ganize everywhere, secretly and open
ly, soviets after the Russian model.
as revolutionary agency.
Yet the federal government does
nothing. The postal authorities are
too busy muddling the telegraph and
telephone service. The legal depart
ment, not headed by disciple of
Lenine, must have direct orders to
do nothing. So it is left to the states,
