Public 0wnership.

1t is not usual for advocates Of pub
lie ownership to present their case with
elaborate setting forth of the obstacles
in its way. This is what committee
of New Workers has done, however, in
recommending municipalization of the
transit system Of the city as an ulti-
mate solution of the traffic problem
The committee, which is composed of
"a men we'll known for their interest
in civic affairs and headed by Delos
f. Wilcox, formerly chief Of the fran
chise bureau of the public seryise com
mission, names II obstacles to the pro-
posed reform, eight requiring legisla-
ton for their removal, one requiring
constitutional amendment and two 9TH
ers unsurmountable under present con
ditions. The committee believes, how
ever, that difficult as the problem is,
it is not so difficult as the development
of a satisfactory system of private
ownership. As practical step it is
proposed that the city acquire and de-
velop it into a formidable competitor
calculated TO bring the present owners
to terms. The report is an impressive
showing of the difficulty to be reek-
oned with in putting even moderately
radical theory into practice and also
impressive as a serious and construc.
tive approach to the solution of the
particular problem Springfield Repub-

If the purchasers of Christmas trees
are coming to Vermont for their wares
because of the fact that Vermont's
laws are so lax as regards the cutting
and sale of trees that the purchasers
can exercise their choice on quality,
and if it is SO that the laws cannot be
made more strict until a constitutional
amendment has been adopted, it be-
hooves the farmers to put such prices
on their tirst-quality trees as to give
them good return. State officials say
that the reason why Christmas tree
men come to Vermont is because other
states are protecting their young trees
in far more careful manner than Yer
mont is; that is, the cutters are not
allowed to go into the fields and for
ests and make their selections, leaving
the culls. Selection of trees is val
liable right to the purchaser and ought
to be worth more than the average
price of Christmas trees in the less at
tractiye regions.

THE SENATE AND THE TREATY.

THE SENATE AND THE TREATY.
The United States Senate is present.
ing a sorry spectacle regarding the
treaty of peace with Germany. For
six months it has jockeyed and wran-
gled, wrangled and jockeyed on the
document drawn up by the allied ma
tions in conference at Paris and signed
by Germany. The chief bone of CON
tention has been the covenant of the
league of nations which was contained
In the text of the treaty, the opposi-
ton of certain element toward that
covenant having started when it be-
came known that the covenant would
be a constituent part of the treaty,
rather than an appendix to the treaty
or a separate document. Efforts to pre-
vent the incorporation of the covenant
in the treaty having failed, the pur-
pose Of the opponents of the league of
nations has been to devitalize the cove
nant if not absolutely to kill it, With
that end in view, a series of reserva-
tions. was adopted which in and of
themselves might not contravene the
treaty but which became stumbling
block through the plan of the rabid
reservationists to require assent from
three Of the other four major allied
powers before the ratification is bind
ing on the United States. In other
words, they would virtually endeavor
to force Great Britain, France, Italy
and Japan to bend to the will of the
United States, to make the United
States a favored nation in the pact,
sort Of super-nation, as it were, to be
beyond the reach of the agreement, far
removed from the common run of the
world
On the other hand, the supporters of
the treaty have sought to have straight
ratification OF the treaty with cove.
nant, or ratification with so-called
mild reservations, which do not tend
to contravene the treaty or impose
selfish viii of the United States on the
world.
Thus these two camps have fought
over period of six months while the
people OF the United States have looked
on with eager expectancy, hoping that
the formal issue Of war and peace
might be settled, so the nation could
60 back to its former equilibrium. But
the people are rewarded with the sight
of a wrangle, ending in deadlock,
which holds up formal treaty indefinite
ly.
There is, of course, common ground
somewhere between the two viewpoints,
which could be taken without damage

A Deportation Solution.

Is ii possible that the solution of the
problem of undesirable aliens is con
siderably simpler than has been sup
posed There has been a great de-
mand for their deportation, and much
complaint of the inadequacy of the
laws because so small a percentages Of
the thousands arrested could legally
be deported But now the interesting
proposal is made by the soviet govern
ment bureau in New York to provide
transportation for all Russian citizens
in the United States whose presence
is undesired, or who desire to return
to Russia. Naturally they do not de
sire to be surrendered to their enc
mics, and it is Of course incredible that
the United States, with its tradition
Of political asylum, should take this
course. But deportation, says Mr.. Mar
tens, who represents the soviet repub-
lie in this country, is wholly unneces-
sary; Russians who adhere to the SOW
lets are only too anxious TO leave.
There is not little evidence to sup
port his statement, which, if true, puts
the situation in new light. Under
present conditions the proposal of the
soviet republic is automatically diff
cult, but the existing situation is try
ing also Undoubtedly great numbers Of
innocent Russians here are being har-
assed and abused in the way which he
describes, and their departure would be
a relief to them and to the country
which finds it hard to distinguish be-
tween an honest and peaceful adherent
of the soviet republic and plotter
against our own. Such voluntary ex-
odus would greatly relieve unrest and
prevent hysteria. The accomplishment
Of it would be not the least Of what
the world would gain by the ending of
the war in eastern Europe. Springfield
