Want to Rise BY Daylight.

Palermo, Maine Nov 5. 1919
Editor kennebec Journal: The feel
ing in the country is that the city
man does no. care so much for his
own daylight saving because he can
work his six or eigh, hours Of labor
most any time, either A. II. or P N:
but he wishes to help out the farmer,
who has from fourteen to eighteen
hours Of work. by giving him an
extra hour in the morning.
Incidentally this might benefit him
by ena bling the farmer 10 raise

The report that the British Gov.

proposal for Q conference Of Soviet
Russia with the Entente Allies tndi-
Gates q drif, OF sentiment back to the
only plan which America has ever
favored regarding Russia-the plan
to favor no faction against another,
but to help Russia work out her own
salvation in her own unhampered
way.
England has tried other ways and
found them useless. She backed Kol-
chalk in Siberia. only to ind him
without popular support in Russia
and not above making secret bar
gains with the Germans. She backed
Denikine in the south only to see
that the deeper he penetrated into
Russia the stronger the opposition TO
him grew. of which fact the trail OF
pogrom and pillage his armies lett
behind them is sufficient explanation
IN Judenitch on the Baltic front an
equally unsatisfactory protege was
found. Not only did he fail to make
good his boast as TO the speedy con-
quest OF Petrograd, but he failed also
10 win the sympathy and support OF
the Firms and the other border peo-
pies who. alone could have made his
campaign a success
II is possible, therefore. that Eng
land is now convinced that the Prin-
kipo conference plan-or one APP
proximating it-should be reviewed.
The prospect Of a Russo German al
lance is troubling her greatiy-the
prospect she herself strengthened by
giving Germany the chance to pose
as Russia's friend in refusing the
Allied invitation 10 participate in the
blockade against Soviet territory.
