Hjalmar Branting, the Swedish So
cialist leader, addressing the socialist
congress in Paris, warned his hearers
of the results of soviet government,
which he said meant absolute eco
nomic decomposition, misery and fam
Inc. The congress passed resolutions
demanding the return to the state of
excess war profits and the levying of
special taxes on wealthy establish
ments, financial monopolies, concerns
dealing in luxuries, railways and large
enterprises such as mines and banks.
A reduction in the hours of labor, the
fixing of minimum wages and rigor-
Gus protection of mothers and children
were also demanded.

mitted later only by vote, like the en-
envy nations. If she chose to remain
aloof from the league, the strength
and value of that association would
be greatly impaired, according to some
authorities. In political circles in
Rome it was predicted that Orlando
and Sonnino would offer their resig-
nations to the parliament and would
be unanimously confirmed in the ten
ure of their offices. The king lost no
time in wiring his absolute approval
Of the course they were pursuing In
Paris, and they were given ardent sup
port by the Italian press and by pub
lie demonstrations.
Italy already is in possession of
Ffume as well as the Dalmatian coast
territory she claims, and declared she
intended to hold them, by force If nee
essary. In such case the league of ma
tons could not act militarily because 1t
does not yet exist Nor would any
of the allied nations take up arms
against Italy, according to opinion In
Paris. 1t was believed there that If
either Great Britain or France took
sides with Italy in the dispute, the
United States might withdraw from
the conference and make a separate
peace with the enemy countries.
1t was reported that Italy was hur-
rying more troops to Fiume, and the
early opening of hostilities between
them and the Jugo-Slavs there and at
other points was freely predicted.

The plan Of the allies to withdraw
their troops from Russia and to supply
the anti-bolshevik elements with NUM-
tons met with the hearty approval of
the governments Of North Russia and
Omsk, but they protest earnestly
against Doctor Nansen's proposal that
the bolsheviki be supplied with food
provided hostilities are entirely stop
ped. The loyal Russians have no in
tention or desire to cease their war
fare on the Lenine- Trotzky forces and
are confident the bolshevists will be
-dafeated. I'm this view the Russian rep
resentatiyes in Paris and Washington
concur. According to the present
plans of the allies, the Omsk govern
ment will be recognized by them soon
after the peace treaty is signed, and In
the meantime any diplomatic advances
by the bolsheviki will be ignored.

What would be the result If Italy's
withdrawal from the conference were
permanent was the subject of much
speculation. 1t was believed there

there were limitations that Italy
would undertake to make separate

1t appears that the peace treaty will
not be ready for the signatures of the
Germans so soon as had been expect
ed, because Of the long task Of COM
plotting the drafting, and as the Ger
man government announced its dele
gates would not arrive at Versailles
as early as former plans contemplated.
The treaty may be presented to them
piecemeal, so that it can be signed
about May 15. In that case peace
would be effective throughout the
world about July Is, for a clause will
be inserted providing that the pact
shall go into effect 60 days after it is
signed. The German party, headed by
Count Won Brockdorff-R antzau, will
include about rs persons. 1t is the

the Germans and the American corre-

President Carranza threw his SOM
brero into the ring last week with an
attack on the Monroe doctrine. In a
formal statement his foreign depart
ment said: "The conference now meet
ing at Paris has considered the recog-
milton of the Monroe doctrine. Some
governments friends of Mexico, have
asked Mexico for its opinion regarding
the doctrine, and the Mexican depart
ment of foreign relations has answered
that the Mexican government has not
recognized and will not recognize the
Monroe doctrine or any other doctrine
that attacks the sovereignty and indie
pendence of Mexico"
But who cares?
Carranza also ordered his minister
to France to withdraw to Spain be-
cause, though he has been in Paris
since December, he has not yet been
permitted to present his credentials to
the French government.

A HEAVY RESPONSIBILITY.

1t is estimated that the actual cost
Of the war to all nations engaged in il
has been 100000 900, and that
about 100000 soldiers in all the
armies have been killed. The world of
man is obliged to confess itself help
less in the face of calamities that are
produced by the commissions of nature
and by the upheavals of forces which
work silently and secretly beneath the
serene surface of nature. The appalling
catastrophe of this war, it is felt, was
the wilful act of a few men. 1t is felt
that it is the business of all men to
prevent The recurrence Of such ca
tastrophc This was not n domestic
catastrophe or a national catastrophe
merely, but was universal in its calami-
tous consequences. If human will and
purpose was responsible for its coming
then it is for the world of humanity TO
set itself to work to prevent its coming
again To neglect this work would be
to become sharers in the sin. None

The fact that 100000 men arc
dead today who were walking the earth
five years ago, and who would have
been alive today but for the war, makes
for searching of the heart. 1t is this
searching of the heart from which has
come the effort 10 find a means of pre-
vPntiOn against future wars. The result
of that effort is the constitution of +:

1t necessarily meant the yielding up o
