The Presidents New Mood.

If the Presidents new mood-the
comforting moods to produce large
results. it must be applied beyond the
peace treaty.
II will be applied in the case of the
treaty first. There are two reasons why
the President should draw near to the
Senate on the treaty matter The first
,'is to remove impressions of what the
treaty is not, and the second to ex-
plain what it is. So much has been
| left to speculation. and speculation
with the subject has been so busy,
considerable doubt exists in Senate
,eircles and other circles
With the treaty out of the way, ques-
tons of reconstruction will present
themselves; and, if anything is to be
accomplished, agreements must be
preached between the President and
: Congress. Disagreements will spell
{, paralysis. The republicans are not
fstrong enough to override a veto.
But paralysis would spell injury TO
the county. Many matters are press
ing for settlement, and the country is
t'e1pecting settlement.
The President is q democrat. Con
1 grees is republican. If they are to get
together on any matter, the spirit OF
conference must be shown by both
sides.

GERMANY Resumes Business.

With the blockade against Germany
raised today trade may be resumed
promptly between that country and
those lately at war with her. Even
though the treaty of peace has been
ratified only by Germany and, there
fore. technically a state of war exists,
peace prevails in practice and in point
of commercial traffic.
Orders will begin to flow from Ger
many to other countries, notably to
this. and will also from here to Ger
many for an exchange Of commodities.
Germany wants more from the United
States at present than this country
wants from Germany. Certain raw ma
terials are imperatively required there
to permit the resumption of industry.
notably cotton. Certain safeguards
will be necessary to prevent an un-
due diversion of trade to Germany in
goods that are required by other coun-
tries for whose welfare the American
people have more concern. France,
for example, must not be deprived Of
a pound of material requisite in her
industrial rehabilitation in order to
supply German markets.
While there il no embargo upon
trade with Germany, undoubtedly a
deep prejudice exists on the part Of
large part of the American public
against German-made goods. Some
attempts at organization have been
made, though without any degree of
success, to insure against a market in
this country for German productions.
individuals will follow their own bent
in this matter Germany will doubt
less try to rush her goods to this mar
ket She will, however, meet compe-
tition in many lines. In the field of
dyestuffs, for example, she has no
longer a monopoly, for as a result of
the blockade American dye manufac-
turers have gone far in the develop
ment of materials that compare we'll
with those made in Germany before
the war.
1t is to the interest Of the allies
that German trade should be revived.
Otherwise Germany will be unable to
meet her war obligations. It may be
distastefM thus to foster German in
dustry, but as a business measure it
is necessary. Moreover, when the Ger
man people get busy in manufacturing
and in trade they will lose much of
their chagrin over their defeat and
disappointment.

A National Center.

Announcement that the National
Education Association plans the pur-
chase of building in Washington for
national headquarters brings to mind
y fact not generally appreciated, that
that organization has for some time
been ne ntsiaing its central Offices in
this city. The Appropriateness OF this
selection is fully recognized By cdu-
Gators throughout the country. Here
is established the federal bureau Of
education. Here are enacted laws
which affect educations; works This

District Works Proceed.

With the signature of the District
appropriation bill last night by the
President funds for the new fiscal year
for the maintenance of the National
Capital become available, and works
that have been held up because the
measure had not yet become law
can be started. These include the
street cleaning, which has been on
short rations for many weeks, repairs
to pavements, and other items that af-
feet the daily comfort and the health
of the community.
Fortunately, the Commissioners have
everything in readiness for the re-
sumption of full service, as the terms of
the bill were perfectly known in ad-
vance of its signature. 1t is, however,
to be regretted that the District should
have suffered in any measure from
| lack of administrative works, even for
short time.

Army Legislation.

The Senate military committee has
made overtures to the House military
committee looking to joint hearings on
the subject of Army legislation by this
Congress, and it is to he hoped the
overtures may be accepted
The country is very much interested.
There is no proposition from any quar-
ter that a return be made to pre-
war conditions. We are the source
now of both amazement and regret.
1t 10 difficult to understand why .he
country tolerated for so long a time
the neglect of so important feature
of the national defense. There ex-
listed only the skeleton of an Army
and even that small force was made
quately and indifferently equipped.
The war came, and the appalling
difference between what we had and
what we needed confused, and almost
paralyzed, those charged with the duty
of getting us ready. There was much
working at cross purposes. and much
waste and worry. 1t was only with
the greatest difficulty that the ap-
pointed task was performed.
AS we could not if we would, and
would not if we could, return to that
helplessness, the question relates to
what should be done in the light of
what the war has taught us. What of
preparedness for the future! What
should be the size of the Regular
Army for peace times7 What about
the suggestion Of universal training 7
! What about the National Guard. And
so forth.
The bugaboo of turning America into
an armed camp has been laid. 1t
! would be impossible to raise goose
flesh by such means now. No such
purpose inheres in any step that has
been suggested. What unprepared
ness signifies we all know from recent
bitter experience; and the value of
preparedness is to be gathered from
that.
Chairman Wadsworth of the Senate
/ committee served in our war with
Spain, and since then, inspired by that
! service, has given much thought to
military matters. He should prove q
good adviser at this time.
Chairman Kahn, while without mill
tary experience, has, as a member of
+, the House, given much attention to
, the subject of the national defense,
and was 50 we'll qualified that he led,
1 republican though he was. in the pre-
paredness measures passed by the last,
a democratic, House. Since then he
has visited Europe, taken a wide look
. around, and conferred with many emf
nent military authorities, both about
the past and the future.
The country needs, and is expecting,
Army legislation of a substantial char
aeter; and Congress which received
its mandate as recently as last No.
,vember should meet that expectation.
