FOOD FOR STARVING PEOPLE.

President Wilson's request for an
immediate appropriation of Sl00,0O0,0 900
for the purpose Of supplying food and
other necessaries Of life to the liberated
UeopIes Of Austria, Poland, Western
Russia and Turkey hardly came to Con-
gross as a surprise. Mr. lIoover's pre-
liminary reports on the food situation IN
Europe, and more especially in the
devastated regions Of the theatre Of the
recent war, indcatcd the need of emer-
gency legislation The president merely
makes a definite recommendation which
translates the Hoover appeals and facts
into a proposal for immediate relief.
The food IS not TO be sent to Germany
To German Austria or 10 Hungary.
These countries will have to take care of
their own needs until treaty Of peace
has been signed Mr.. Hoover believes
they will be able to do so. If they were
not, the Allies and the United States
would have to consider the effect of
hunger and despair on the political
situation, since hunger is the most potent
ally of Bolshevism.
Where there is an established govern
ment even provisional one, it IS possible
to enter into proper financial arrange
Inents and accept certain securities or
obligations, but there arc areas where no
arrangements whatever can he made and
relief must take the form Of gifts

But What is City Council Doing?

City Council is right in sending to the
Legislature request to act upon no
matters Of legislation affecting the city
of Wilmington without consultation with
the Council This is fair and honest
No legislation affecting the city govern
ment should be acted upon finally by
the Legislature without opportunity for
City Council to pass judgment upon it.
The proper course in respect Of legis-
lation affecting the city government is
for the City Council to formulate the
measures, and, after approval. send
them to the Legislature with the stamp
Of City Councils Endorsement. Then,
members Of the Legislature viii know
they are passing upon measures Of
municipal legislation approved by the
peoples representatives,.
What has the City Council done in
this respect? Has it caused to be pre-
pared single measure? Not 50 far as
we are aware Of.
il City Council desires legislation at
the coming session Of the Legislature, it
should get to work without delay.

FUTURE OF THE RHINELAND.

One OF the matters of grave import
that the peace conference should take
up at the earliest practicable moment is
the future Of the Rhineland. After the
question Of indenulties has been settled,
the delegates OF Versailles might properly
address themselves forthwith to the
solution OF this problem, on which the
safety Of France, and ultimately OF the
world, depends.
Germany has not been suddenly con-
verted TO a peaceful and innocuous frame
Of mind. She has been temporarily de-
prived Of the means Of wrecking her mad
will on her neighbors but unless means
are taken to make this temporary dis
ability permanent the day will surely
come when she wiilyenture again on her
scheme Of universal dominion
One of the surest ways 10 invite the
resumption of her insane aggression would
be to leave the new Franco-German border
subject to the continued menace of her
Rhlneland fortresse,. No matter where the
new boundary is drawn if on the eastern
side of it inn merable German guns
are 10 stand as a perpetual threat against
the peace Of France the war now ended
will have failed to accom- lish one most
desirable and entirely practicable re-
suit. For the temptation to invade French
soil will always be present at Berlin and

Punishment for Traitors.

Although not unexpected, tho convic-
ton, In the Federal Court At Chicago, on
Wednesday, Of ConGrcSsman-elect Victor
Berger OF Wisconsin and four other radical
Socialists. on charges of violation Of the
Federal Espionage act, was received with
great interest throughout the country.
Ii Was accepted as evidence that the
Federal government Is in earnest in
prosecuting those secret enemies OF our
country here al homo during the war,
who believed ;hcv could do as they please
and evade punishment

the past two years, il seems amazing that
our people were 50 patient with the

were brazcnly acting IN manner that
could not fail to give announcement T.

not actually so in law-were almost de

consider themselves fortunate even if
the maximum penalty should be imposed
upon them. Had the situation been re

kith or kin-men and women.
So we will turn to the sons Of the former
President of the United States. The first
alarm of war found them-four in num-
ber-at a recruiting station, keen, eager,
glad to serve their country. The four
young Roosevelts, all within the compass
Of enlistment age, quickly changed their
civilian clothes for khaki, dropped busi-
ness or college, left young wives and
babies and homes, and sought the war
zone by the shortest route. They ac-
ceptcd no favors-no commissions, be-
cause Of their fathers exalted station
but they went to battle in the fighting
ranks and each won advancement by his
merit and valor until each became a
factor in the war. The youngest son, We
all sadly recall was shot down with his
airplane and fell dead within the German
hines. In this soldier even the impossible
bochc mind discerned a brave, daring
patriot, fearless foe, and paused-the
only time during the whole progress of
the war-to express admiration for
slain antagonist, by giving him a burial
bc6tting a true warrior, a fair foe, add
ing the compliment of rudely marking his
resting place.
Another son, leading his men in n
charge on the Hun line, was shot SO
badly that he may lose an arm or be

PRESS COMMENT.
AT WORK.

General Grants well-remcmbered ad-
juration, LET us have peace was never
more appropriate than at the present
moment. The world wants peace, it
wants the end Of the war irrevocably de-
clared by the signing of tho Treaty of
Peace. The armstice was signed two
months ago. If we allow one month for
the nations to recover from the shock of
peacc-for at least there was a shock of
surprise that the tremendous war had SO
suddenly ended-therc is left one month
in which the formulation of peace terms
should have proceeded rapidly. There
has been delay, some avoidable delay.
But the treaty-makcrs have had an oppor-
tunity to get acquainted, by this time they
should have omc to good understanding
of each Others viows.
II is encouraging to learn from Paris
dispatches that the statesmen and ENJOYS
now IN that city are constantly in confer
encc. Clcmenceau, Lord Robert Cecil,
Stephen Pichon, the French Minister of
Foreign Affairs; Marshal Foch, Secretary
Lansing, Colonel House, and now Presi-
dent Wilson are meeting every day. Mr..
Lloyd George, however, has postponed
his going TO Paris, so the date for the be-
ginning of the formal conferences is still
uncertain
Not till then can the cnvoys begin the
drawing up of protocols or putting docu-
mcnts in shape for final revision. The
conditions of actual settlement with the
Central Powers are already so well under
stood that an agreement upon the form
in which they are to be presented TO the
representatives of Germany and her late
allies should not be long deferred
The conclusion of peace, the signing
of the treaty, is the immediate business
before the Conference. We hope nothing
will be permitted to cause postponement.

have already arisen, other ills threaten

WHY THE PUBLIC HAS NO RIGHTS

The one definite thing about a strike is
that the public has no rights that anybody
Is bound 10 respect. Tho New York
Harbor strike is another case in point.
All the machinery for arbitration and
mediation that has been created through
out long series Of industrial disputes
went into the sCrap-heap, and the strike
proceeded strictly according to schedule.
The fact that tens OF thousands of
people we're unable to get to their work
that other tens of thousands were dc
privcd Of food supplies, that business and
industry were demoralized and the traffic
of the greatest port in the Western Henri
sphere was paralyzed that concerned
neither of the belligerents. They had a
disagreement about wages and hours, and
so they undertook TO fight it out over the
PROSTATE body polite.
The main reason why the public has no
rights that anybody ever respects in these
industrial wars is that the public meeklv
abdicatcs and is afraid TO cali its soul its
own 1t has been taught that so long as
warning employers and employees do not
destroy life and property by out-and-Out
violence ii must keen its hands off. They
may destroy as many lives and as much
property as they please by methods that
are not violent, by depriving people Of the
ncccssaries ol lie, by disorganizing in
dustry and keeping people out of work,
with all the wage losses that ensue.
This sort OF thing will 60 on just as long
as the public permits itself to be deluded
into the belief that its duty Is TO be neutral
whenever combinations Of employers and
labor organizations decide 10 wage q
private war OF their own.-New York
