The Districts Industries Campaign

Practical steps are being taken to
the end of putting the District "on the
map" industrially. An efficient organi-
zation has been formed and the field OF
possible enterprises is being canvassed
systematically. Yesterday at lunch
con given by local manufacturer to
the industries committee of the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers Association
plans were explained in terms that in
dicate that the movement is being Wig
orously pushed. Results are certain to
come from systematic effort. There IS
room within the city for many light
industrial plants and outside of the
urban area for those of a character
that require space and that should for
the sake Of the capitals appearance be
located in non-residential sections.
Manufacturers have expressed their in
terest in the project and are looking
over the ground. The enthusiastic ad-
vocacy of the District displayed by the
business men who are conducting this
campaign cannot fail to impress those
who contemplate removal from other
places or the establishment of branches
or new plants that the District is an
attractive and convenient place for
them. Each one that comes is an in
dueement for others. The spirit is
awakened and results will be produced.

arranging the affairs of the world
Then the return home, to face q ses-
sion of Congress which may be the
most momentous in the history Of the
country, and which may continue un-
til the midsummer of 1920, Then a
presidential campaign, at least four
months long, in which the President
may be the principal figure.
1t is very large and very un-
usual order. The President will need
all of his physical strength and all
of his intellectual resources. If can
didate for third term, he Will be ex.
pected to take the stump and increase
enthusiasm. But even if he gives place
to another, he will be expected to as
sist the nominee in every way in his
power. He will not want to escort a
republican to the Capitol March 4,
1921, and turn over the chief magis-
tracy to him.
In the matter of work the President
is not a shirker. He not only likes to
work himself, but to cut out work for
others. He will shortly confront and
tackle his first opposition Congress.
Whether he will enjoy the contest is a
question. Driving power has hitherto
been his reliance. But he will need
now both patience and diplomacy, and
employ both to the best advantage if
he is to achieve any results of value.

Germany Will Sign.

When the armistice was signed and
the peace conference was summoned to
meet in Paris some apprehension was
felt lest the Germans were to be in
vited to sit with those who were to
work on the treaty. 1t was recognized
that. of course, Germany would have
to be admitted to the council at some
stage of the proceedings, to sign the
treaty, but for a time the fear was
expressed lest in spirit of concession
the late enemy would be given a voice
in the shaping of the terms. This has
proved unwarranted. Germany has
had no part whatever in the framing
of the treaty and no voice in the de-
termination of the conditions of peace
When the treaty has been formulated
Germany will be asked to send dele
gates empowered to sign for the state.
They viii be shown the proposed terms
and place will be indicated for the
signatures. There will be no appeal.
There can be no renewal of warfare,
inasmueh as Germany has meanwhile
been stripped Of war-making powers,
her navy surrendered to the allies, her
army reduced in size, her territory oc-
cupied, her munitions depleted. She
must sign.
Considering the conditions in Ger
many today, there need be no doubt
- to the acceptance of the terms. The
German people have definitely turned
their backs on the old regime. They
are disposed to discard every admins
trative official who is suspected of an
inclination for the kaiser's ideal of
government. Some Of them are going
to extremes. Civil war RACES in some
parts Of the former empire. Even with
the mechanism of war available there
could be no renewal Of hostilities, for
the spirit of the people has been COM
pletely changed with respect to the
former policies Of Germany.
The delegates who viii 90 to Paris
from the enemy states will sign. They
may bluster and protest, but they will
sign And it is vastly important that
this should be the procedure. Moth
ing else will 80 distinctly demonstrate
the fact that Germany has been beaten
a. to be compelled to accept without
alteration . peace treaty written by
the victors, embracing conditions that
reduce Germany's military power and
render her hereafter incapable of wag-
ing war upon her neighbors.

The House District Committee.

In framing up the District commit
tee membership the republican House
leaders have shown disposition to
give the National Capital the benefit
Of q hard-working, progressive organi-
zation. While the District loses some
good friends in members who have
been shifted to other committees, their
interest in the welfare of the capital
will surely not be lost and their sue
cessors on the committee are known
to be men of ability who are aware of
the importance Of the development of
Washington. Chairman Mapes has
been a member of the District com
mittee for some years and is thorough
y acquainted with the questions that
aHect Washington. Under his able di-
roction there is reason to expect the
House District committee to be an ac:
tive body, seeking and obtaining for
the District the attention Of the House
70 local measures.

The House Republicans.

The republicans If the House yes
terday settled the important question
of floor leadership. The honor was of
fered to Mr., Mann, who declined 1t
was then offered to Mr.. Mondell, who
accepted.
This, then, will be the slate when the
House meets: Mr.. GiHett for Speaker,
Mr.. Fordney for chairman of ways and
means, and Mr.. Mondell for floor
leader.
Geographically, the slate is strong.
Next years battle will be fought in
the east, the west and the northwest,
and all three sections are recognized.
They are recognized in the persons
of three experienced and competent
men. Mr.. Gillett has been a member
of every Congress since, and including,
the Fifty-third; Mr.. Fordney of every
Congress since, and including, the
Fifty-s sixth, and Mr.. Mondeh of every
Congress since, and including, the
Fifty fourth. Here are legislators who,
having made good, have been repeated.
ly Endorsed by their constituents. They
are rated as veterans.
They have served in the majority
and in the minority. They have par
ticipated in the making of good deal
of legislative history. They have seen
the tariff revised, the currency revised,
the railroad question grow into one Of
much eomplexity and difficulty, and
other questions pass through the fires
of hot partisan controversy. They will
be perfectly at home when the bail
opens next summer.
Mr.. Mann will occupy position
from which his party should greatly
beneft-that Of general adviser. he
is admirably quaiifed for the role.
He is thoroughly familiar with all
House processes. He knows the rules
and the precedents. His eye is keen,
his judgment swift, his industry un-
tagging. He will not be ehained to
committee routine, but viii be q

Of consideration.
A House so organized should func-
tion we'll The majority is Of generous
size, though not too large. It is the
result Of campaign inteTligently
waged on issues which, if not in every
instance thoroughly defined, were yet
in the main clearly understood. The
country decided to commit the broad
task Of reconstruction to the repub-
ican party, and so called it back to
legislative power.
This first response shows an appre-
citation of the task imposed, which is
large, and will require care in the
handling. If further responses are as
satisfactory, the party should enter
next years campaign in very promis-
ing shape.

matter that concerns not merely the
people of Washington. The people Of
all the country are involved, for we

placed at the disposal Of the people
Of the whole country through their

tinued denial of the elemental right of
American citizenship reflects upon the

The Presidents Large Order.

From the steamship George Wash
ington:
~rhe President received a wireless
dispatch from the mayor of Brest ex-
pressing a desire to extend him wed
come ON behalf of the municipality
of Brest on the arrival of the George
Washington. President Wilson sent
an acceptance, but asked that the cere-
monies be as brief and informal az
possible, saying he desired to proceed
immediately to Paris
Evidently this is TO be strictly q
business trip-a slouch- hat and sack
suit trip. The President has business
in mind, and as soon as he lands viii
have a good deal of business in hand.
And he wants TO get through with it
as quickly as possible
Besides, he has left mountain of
business behind. There are many
things awaiting attention here at home,
and must continue to wait until he re-
turns. In his absence, Congress, eager
TO get to work, is idle, and the de.
mocracy without a leader. Many demo
Gratis are disturbed in their reflections
about next year, and will continue
so until he gives the signal for full
speed ahead.
Business, then, Will he the Presi-
dents watchword, from the moment he
lands at Brest, until the night of elec.
tion next year-a period Of twenty
months.
First, business in Paris, with all the
complications attending an essay at 70.

The Racial Question.
(New York Herald)

The American objection to the ra-
cial equality amendment in the league
covenant is precisely that of Aus
tralia. Unfortunately for Britain, she
is tied up with Japan in a treaty the
terms of which haye on the whole
been loyalty and faithfully fulfilled by
the latter, and she is naturally loath
to offend her powerful ally in the
east, who is exercising much quiet
pressure through the British deIega-
ton in Paris. The Japanese represen-
tatives at the conference are also try
ing to force the clause by pressure
upon President Wilson, who, they be
lieve, may be still willing to resist the
senate in this important matter. For
the present they are preserving silence
though it is believed that the silence
is that which precedes the storm
which which will be aroused by q
japanese ultimatum- demanding the
inclusion of the amendment. Here
in lies one Of the strongest reasons
why it was advisable to defer the con-
sideration of the 1eaGue of nations
until the conclusion of a treaty OF
peace.

as a luxury or business vehicle, and
1t is economical considering It's
