CONCESSION OR RECESSION.

Senator Hitchcock according to the Chicago
Tribune, has approached Senator Knox with
proposal that the republican senator's formulate
the amendments they would have made in the
League Of Nations constitution and forward
them to the president at Paris. When pressed
as to whether he spoke with consent of the
president, the late chairman Of the senate COM
mttee on foreign relations declined to give
satisfactory answer The incident is significant,

body he deliberately ignored.
The senate is part of the treaty making
power Of the United States, and must pass on
any document coming from Paris. Mr.. Wilson
was we'll aware Of this, and also was well adj
vised that the senate to which the treaty must
go would be controlled by the republicans He
chose to ignore the plain situation, and asked
endorsement for a document that leaves too
much to implication that should be plainly ex-
pressed. In simple words, he failed to note the
difference between stating aspirations and max
ing contract. He did not receive the support
he asked, because he did not state the terms
on which the bargain is to rest
1t is not opposition to his hopes or his plan

The New Grand Armv,

One Of the young men who served we'll and
faithfully in the army has written a suggestion
that will quite likely find many echoes in the
hearts of the boys who wore the khaki, and in
not great while will be crystallized into being.
It is that an association, nationwide, be formed
of the soldiers. In his letter the writer refers
to the associations of camp and cantonment, of
field and trench, of friendships formed and
brotherhood born under such conditions as prom

would have the national army men formed Unto

one who is familiar with the story of the Grand
Army of the Republic will question the feasibil-
ity or desrability Of this movement. 1t will
supplement the Grand Army. now passing to
the close of its career, and the Spanish-Ameri-
can War Veterans will welcome it as well. We
may be very sure that the general organization
will come, and Omaha is a mighty good place
to start it.

Postal Receipts and Business.

Postmaster General Burleson points to the
increased receipts of the postofices as an
unerring indication Of improvement in business
conditions. He is justified in this, for when the
public begins to use the mails it is a sign OF
interest in affairs, of commercial activity, and
all that that means After we have congratu-
lated the head of this great governmental de-
partment on his acumen, may we not venture
suggestion7 If he were to try to improve
the service of the department along with the
increase in the public's use Of it, the effort
would win appreciation. 1t might be possible to
establish such conditions as would insure the
delivery Of letter from one part of the city

Omaha, March 3.-To the Editor
of The Bee: I noticed in your paper
some time ago, a request by a men,
Der of the Nebraska State legisla-
ture that he be given some informa-
ton in regard to Senate File No
116, a blue sky law, introduced by
Senator John f. Cordial, which
would give the present Nebraska
State Railway commission increased
powers and authority and would
practically take away from the
present management of corpora
tons in the state of Nebraska any
powers or authority heretofore
granted them by law.
In connection with this bill, which
in my opinion is one of the worst
pieces of legislation ever introduced
in the Nebraska state legislature,
having a destructive rather than a
constructive tendency, an element
which is much needed at this time in
order to develop NebFaska's re-
sources, 1 wish to recall the story
told by the Arabians, who knew what
they were talking about when they
said, IF camel gets his nose into
the tent, his body will soon follow"
Many camels have been nosing
about in the various state legisla-
lures in the form of blue sky laws.
They have gotten their noses in the
tent, and unless something is done
to check them there will be no room
for anyone else under the kindly
covering, as their whole body will
fill all the available space.
There is a school of economic re-
formers who insist that the people
should not be trusted to make their
selections in buying securities for
fear they would buy worthless stock,
but that a blue sky commission
should control their selection. Pa
ternalism will work with children,
but our present stage of develop
ment in the west would never have
been attained under such a plan.
Our future industrial activity will
greatly depend upon the laws which
are passed, and it will be for this
legislature to decide whether or not
the people of Nebraska will be per-
mitted to further develop our own
industries or whether our surplus
capitaE will be spent in the develop
ment of the resources of other
states whose laws are more encour-
Swindling is not the rule of bust
ness, if it were no business could be
possible. We have already on our
statute books criminal laws which
deal with the man who gets money
under false pretense. If these laws
were enforced 1t would not be neces-
sary to have blue sky laws to pre-
vent the slick promoter from separ-
ating the investor from his cash. The
blue sky permit issued by the Rail-
way commission has had the effect
in the past of putting the stamp Of
approval Of the State Of Nebraska on
the sale of securities, some Of which
have proven to be worthless There
fore, what protection has the blue
sky law given the people? It has, on
the contrary. cost the state Of Ne
braska thousands of dollars to ad-
minister, and has afforded a lucra-
tive position for q few political wire
pullers which should not be permit
ted any longer.

Another Crisis With Germany.

Germany has broken off negotiations for
the use Of German merchant ships by the Al
lies, demands for 2,5000OO tons of food stuffs
to be delivered between now and the next Ger
man harvest having been declined In other
words, because the vietors will not agree to
feed the vanquished on a scale the latter deem
adequate, the bargain fails. While any intent
to starve Germany has been disclaimed, the
fact remains that other countries come first and
must be served before the inhabitants of kaiser
land can receive supplies sufficient to content
them. Millions in the regions ravished by the
German armies are starving, and the ships that
are idle at Bremen, Wilhelmshayen and other
German ports are needed to carry food to these
hungry. This stirred the delegates from Hun
land to demand more than the Allies could see
their way clear to giving. Without the Ger
man ships, succor for suffering Europe will be
delayed, and the return of American troops will
be hampered, but in some way the emergency
can be met 1t will not help the German cause,

Medical Views Of Directors

After being under the observation of
pSychiatrists of the medical department. Of the
army the 5000 prisoners in the disciplinary
barracks at Leavenworth who recently went on
strike have been duly classified and ticketed.
Most of these men called themselves "conscien-
tious objectors" with the purpose of escaping
military service. Relatively only few pleaded
religious scruples.
Virtually all Of these military offenders, from
the viewpoint of medical experts, were of ex-
ceptional types. After their mental condition
had been studied they were divided into three
groups. First came those-nearly two-thirds
Of the whole number-who defied the law "from
an excessively eccentric personality;" in other
words, men who were "individualistc, opinion
ated, seif-willed or vain TO an extreme degree"
Presumably in any circumstances where they
were subjected to discipline or authority they
would be found in conflict with those about
them and justifying themselves as Of superior
Intelligence They are at a type of which our
parlor bolsheyild and soap-box school of orators
furnish many examples.
The two minor groups among the prisoners
at Leavenworth comprised men "of extreme
emotional instability" and others Of inadequate
intelligence" The medical examiners of the
local boards and the army doctors at the camps
rejected hundreds of men for these very rea-
sons. In the main they were unfit for military
service because of psychopathic conditions
Upon the conscientious objector," in the
honest sense, much sympathy has been expend-
Cd since the beginning of the draft, as the vic
tim of a harsh and cruel system. In the light
d the investigation made at Leayenworth BY
the medical department of the army it might
seem that false sentimentalfty has played too
large part in the campaign.-New York
