Working Toward A Budget Plan

budget resolution and introduced several bills to provide

When prepared the budget would be critically exam

would then pass upon and report the bill to the

THE GREAT STEEL STRIKE.

Reading between the lines and judg-
ing from the sentiment expressed this
week in the leading daily papers of the
east, it would appear that there is lit
tie chance of the strike leaders having
their ambitions realized The cause of
the strike is too much tainted with
political aims rather than economic
benefit. Certainly it cannot be the
latter, for the pay of the steel mill men
is today about the highest of any char
acter of labor in the country. The
man William H. Foster, who precipitat-
ed the strike, is secretary of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor'S National
Committee for Organizing Iron and
Steel Workers and is said to be il So
cialist and was formerly an l. w. w.
man. AT any rate, he some years ago
wrote most vicious and violent book
let on the subject of labor conditions,
in which he denounced the capitaliStic
"crowd" as bungling robbers and said
that society must adjust itself at the
expense of the rich. He is ultra radi-
cal. and much of his political dogma is
ACT udllN nllllllStlc OF worse. Men nave
been jailed and kept there for less
than he has done against the law of
this country. If there were any moral
grounds on which this strike could
stand it would have a respectful hear
ing; but, going about its demands on
a technical illusion, it should fail, and
doubtless WILL Sowing the seed of
revolution in America is not desirable,
especially at this critical period of the
country's history Production is more
in demand now than at any other time
in the worlds history. AS long as it
was not wage demand that caused
the strike. it looks like an act of pure
SelfiShneSS, a desire to humiliate the
steel mill owners merely for the pur
pose of triumphing over them. The
way to beat the strike is to counter
with respectful purpose and sure aim
of intent. There is not one sincere
note in the leaders demand in this
Strike-nOt one.

PEACE TREATY PROGRESS.

President Wilson is now well on his
way east from his long tour of the far
west From the really impartial re-
ports-and they have been few and far
between-it would seem that he has
made great progress, not in convincing
the senate that it is best to ratify the
treaty of peace, but in convincing the
public mind that it is best to pass on
it as presented without alterations.
That the general public is anxious to
get real peace started it is not neces-
sary to restate The whole world has
its eyes upon the United States. The
only country to accept the treaty as it
came from the Versailles conference is
England. The main influence that
bore upon the action of England was
the cheering words of General SHUTS,
who said that, although the treaty and
League of Nations was not all that
could be desired, it yet represented the
greatest strides towards holding peace
in the world against the cruelties OF
Palisadian. [volume] (Cliffside Park, N.J.) 1906-current, 1919-09-27

war that had ever been devised by
man. His further argument was that
if the League of Nations was found to
be imperfect it could be amended to
suit the demands of the world, but he
said pass it up, and England did.
In the United States everybody
knows that the majority feeling is for
the league and treaty, but the members
of the senate Foreign Relations Com
mittee have made it the means of at
lacking the President in the most out
rageous manner, many of his critics
being actually cruel in harshness. To
believe much that has been charged
against Mr. Wilson would be to make
him worse than an Aaron Burr or
Benedict Arnold, and few people are
willing to accept that Interpretation of
a man who has proven his great mas
terry of the perils of the world and has
had the courage to assert himself OH
the best means of curing them.

S25o,ooo FORT LESS HIGH SCHOOL

No one move the borough of Fort
Lee has ever made begins to compare
with the recommendation made this
week to build a new modern high
school at ii cost of $250,000 or there
abouts. 1t will add new life blood to
the entire section, and it will not be
many years before the name of Fort
Lee will take rank with the best edu-
cational centers in Bergen county. 1t
was a great proposal, and the Board
of Education no doubt will at once
begin plans for carrying out the rec
concentration. The Palisadian has
always been in favor of this move
ment, and hastens to congratulate the
Board of Education in getting this ex-
preston of popular approval.

WHY DIDN'T THEY THINK
ABOUT 1T?

| In view of the many complaints of
| the people of the central empires that
! they cannot meet the requirements of
| the allies in the matter of PREPARATIONS,
one wonders why they did not think
| about it when the war was being
waged. Here is Il late complaint from
Il delegation of Germans that it will
enslave the whole empire to make good
the losses caused by their submarines
Why didn't they think about enslave-
ment when they were sinking the
ships?
1t was as certain as anything could
be that if Germany lost the war she
would have to replace every ship she
sunk during the struggle. "Ton for
ton!' That was the warning of Great
Britain to the Germans every time
there was a ship unlawfully sent to
the bottom. But the Germans needed
nothing; they went right ahead sink
ing ships illegally as if there were to
be no such thing as Judgment day.
simple minded child ought to have
known that there is in this old world
such thing as retrbutive justice.
Little Norway alone lost more than
million tons of shipping at the hands
of the Germans during the war, prac-
tically all of it destroyed contrary to
the uSages of international law. Medi-
tating upon the figures the Germans
cry out: I'VE cannot replace it; it will
enslave u.s. And yet these same peo-
pie had four years in which to think
about it. We could have more SYM
pathy for the people of the central
empires if once during the war they
had manifested any evidence of hui
to think about the consequences of
their evil deeds.

TREES.

When a tree is cut down, plant an
anywhere.
1t costs little or nothing, but it will
mean much in wealth and comfort to
the next generation.
Within the last two years some of
the finest maple groves in the world,
located in northern Ohio, have been
cut down and made up into backs for
hair and scrubbing brushes.
That is all right-these trees may
be of more social value in the form
of brushes than standing timber, but
Not a tree has been planted to take
the place of any that have been cut
down, and where, for instance is the
next generation in the brush industry
to get its maple lumber?
If any of our children left room
and the light burning or the water
running in the bathroom we would
duly correct them; for it is matter
of immediate waste; it can be clearly
seen now, without requiring any
vision or imagination.
But in our failure to plant a tree
when one is cut down we waste the
time in which another tree might be
growing and at no expense, and for
the benefit of the next generation in
wealth and comfort.
The railroads in the country are
bitterly complaining today of the scar
city and high cost of cross ties.
