Senator Frelinghausen yesterday demanded that the
country be fully informed on all phases Of the League
of Nations project before the senate is asked to consider
it. That is perfectly proper position to take. What
is done about this is of tremendous Importance to the
whole people and public sentiment should be sounded
thoroughly. There would not be the least use Of at
tempting to bind the to agreement which
the public conscience repudated And the popular YER
dict should be based upon the fullest possible nforma
ton Moreover It should be free possible from
prejudices Whether we like 1t not, the world has
turned corner. The things in national and interna-
tional affairs that had to be reckoned with in the past
will not necessarily exist In the future.

Announcement yesterday that the railroads viii not
be turned back to their owners until congress is given
more opportunity to consider permanent program will
relieve lot Of anxiety in this country is assumed in
Washington that this means at least another year Of
government control, but what is important, 1t
is pledge that the railroad administration under the
present director general is not at al disposed to try
to force the hand Of congress. Now II congress viii
take the matter in hand and permit to drag along
until it is simply forced to jam through makesht
measure there is possibility that will have nell-
gent legislation upon the railroad question, which
touches every one of US.

Senator Jones has announced that he will make one
more effort to get the senate to approve equal suf
frage amendment to the Constitution, this time offering
a modified form which would give the states initial
authority to enforce it. 1t is said that this proposition
has the approval of the President and the leaders Of
woman suffrage organizations but is apt to strike the
country as whole with something of shock when it
is realized Just what this 1t means to put it
in the brees possible FORM that 1t is the purpose to
put an amendment into the federal Constitution to
which some states are not expected to pay any atten
tion 1t means Furthermore, that all the steps the
Southern states have taken to evade the Fifteenth
amendment are officially condoned and approved. What
ever one may think about the wisdom Of the Fifteenth
amendment such course is revolving to the instincts
of people who believe in political morality even If
they do not always practice it The Constitution is
statement Of political principles which has challenged
the admiration Of the mighest ntelects in all nations
II we drag 1t from that high estate by writing political
expediency into there no telling what will happen
