BACKING DOWN

Those thirty-nine senators who de-
clared that the league ofnations covenant
should not be accepted in its present form
may have felt at the time like daring and
lonesome pioneers Now, we imagine,
they must have the sensation of being
somewhat crowded. What they said ten
days ago everybody is saying now The
covenant must be amended, of course.
From Mr.. Taft to the littlest Democratic
congressman and the most partisan of
.lnistraticn organs ,all agree that the
document is 1nite impossible, must be rad.

AMERICAN WAR CLAIMS s75O,OOO,OOO

War claims of citizens of the United
States against the Central Powers am
cunt to about $750,000,000 in all, accord
ing to an announcement made by the
State department. The total mentioned
covers claims already filed with the de-
partment, but it may be increased by the
presentation of additional demands for
reparation. The claims fall into two class
es those arising out of submarine war
fare and those ON account of other acts of
the enemy countries. Under the first
head are claims on account of the deaths
and injuries of American citizens and for
losses suffered in the destruction of or
damage to American vessels, or of car
goes in American or foreign bottoms, or
of valuable pesonal property other than
cargoes together with miscellaneous it.
ems of loss or injury. Under the second
head are grouped the destruction Of pro-
perry of citizens of the United States in
enemy territory or in territory occupied
by enemy forces. 1t isestimated that at
the outbreak of the war American citizens
and concerns had about $500, 100000 in
enemy countries and those under enemy
occupation, and it appears that war meas
ures taken by the Central Powers have
resulted in heavy losses to this property.

IRKSOME BILLETS

American soldiers in Europeon billets
are growing weary and irritated. We
have had good deal of evidence of this
They are, for the most part, young men
keen for war If there is proper motive
and sick OF it when the motive no longer
exists. We suspect that the London riot
grew out of the irritation of continued
confinement under discipline.
The soldiers want to come home. Thev
can hardly be blamed for Impotence. And
It is just as laudable as the Impotence
that sent them against the enemy. Under
other circumstances a dice game could
have been broken up and the offenders
reprlmanded without comment. 1t would
have been accepted as a part of the school
OF war. But this time it provoked dis
turbance.
The disturbance, as we conceive it. waS
not the result of desire to DESTROY orderN
and create misrule. 1t was the instructive
protest OF vigorous men against inaction.
They simply wanted to yell and let off
some steam. American youths tire of
wlddling their thumbs and enough of this
will make the slightest event the excuse
for demonstration. 1t was the bow spirit
asserting iself. They've had enough OF
hanging around and they want to come
home.
We have it on the word of high army
officers that there is nothing to be gain
ed, and perhaps dangerous loss of NOR
ale to be encouraged, by keeping the men
In stagnant billets abroad. The incipient
riot In London should assure the war de-
partment that the home movement is one
to be accelerated.--C Chicago Tribune.

ISN'T THIS THE TRUTH?

Governor Coolidge told the governors
and mayors at the recent construction
meeting at the White House that:
"The government should withdraw from
attempt at fixing prices and let business
operate according to laws of supply and
demand so far as domestic commerce is
concerned. There ought to be protection
from unreasonable foreign competition
If this were to apply to wheat, its price
would be lowered, other cereals would be
correspondingly lower and also meat and
poultry. Until business understands that
prices are on natural and not an artifi-
cial basis it cannot go forward.
"We are to have in the army and navy
nearly 100000 men. Our casualty list
will take at least 100000. Loss from the
epidemic runs into the hundreds of thous-
ands. Before the war we had an immi-
grafton each year of 100000 to 100000
The last four years this has dropped to a
very small figure There will be, as a re-
suit of the war, a great shortage of man
power abroad
There was never SO much work to be
done in the world never so much money
in America. Where there is power to pur-
chase there will be demand to be supplied
The only thing lacking is an organization
of our industries to produce and supply
the market and a conviction that price
and conditions are on natural basis.
IF commerce and industry of the coun-
try is to conduct itself, rather than to be
conducted by the government, it is time
for it to begin such operation at once. 1t
must be under government control or I'M
der its own control. 1t cannot have two
masters"

A GREAT QUESTION WORTHILY
DISCUSSED

Nothing but good should come from
such earnest and dignified discussion of
the covenant for society of nations as
was had in Boston by u S. Senator Henry
Cabot Lodge and DR.. A. Lawrence Lowell
President of Harvard. The general idea
of League of Nations will be strength
ened by debate, especially when las in this
instance, both the speakers are in favor
of it. And the present proposed constitu-
ton will not suffer from an exposure of
its defects as seen by so eminent states
man as Senator Lodge, if this shall sum-
mon to its defense so sound thinker and
brilliant publicist as DR.. Lowell Not the
least significant feature of the incident
is that both disputants belong to the same
political party. This is hopeful symp-
tom that the tendency to make party
issue of the league Of nations has Iessened
since Congress adjourned. 1t is too big
question to be either cOntroverted or
bolstered as mere matter of partisan
ship.
Of course discussion such as was lis
tened to by the Boston audience in SYM
phony Hall lacked something of the close
gripping the direct attack and rejoinder
the searching interjectory question and
the sharp retort that American crowds so
dealy love to listen to when well-matched
ampions are brought together on the
same platform in 4 clash of polemical
steel on steel. The arguments and speech
es have been prepared beforehand, their
delivery was n.,ne or less formal and per-
functory. To use . railway simile, there
was no head-on collision, but rather the
exhibition of two well-appointed trains
running in opposite directions, each on its
own track. Nevertheless, it must have
been not without exhilaration, and it will
doubtless be fully as profitable, when re-
garded calmly, as if there had been a
chapter of casualties and mass of wreck
age and debris. The audience were given
something to take home and think about;
and this after all, is more to be desired
than the. brief excitement of an undecid-
ed oratorical wrestling match.
Unconsciously the mind reverts to an
other great issue more than half CEN
tury ago, which brought about one of the
most famons debates in history-the Gel
ebrated clash between Lincoln and Doug
las. Probably no such exhibition will ev-
er again be staged-neither the question
itself, nor the conditions, being possible
of latter-day duplication. 1t will be re-
membered that from that sinewy test of
mettle in Illinois emerged wo candidates
for the presidency of the United States,
one of whom was elected to meet the
greaest crisis in the nations history and
who is forever enshrined in the nations
heart. Who knows but histoy may take
anotion to repeat itself ?-Deseret News

JOBS FOR THE SOLDIERS

1t is difficult to refrain from bitterness
in considering the labor situation. Frank
" we are up against the most colossal
piece of administrative bungling the coun-
try has ever known in many year. The
war has revealed many absurdities, most
of them having to do with the waste of
money, but none of these seems as stupid
as policy which lets soldiers go hungry
for want of a means of earning food.
The rehabilitation of the draft boards
becomes more and more an offense. We
cannot understand why any sane member
of the administration could sanction their
dismissal. The draft boards were the con-
Meeting link between the government and
the men. They were an active liason,
possessing the minutest information con-
corning the soldiers and most able to
serve them.
If the draft boards could serve an eff
cient purpose b ytaking the men out OF
their homes and their jobs, certainly no
other agency could be better fitted to re-
ceive them back from war and reinstate
them in their civilian positions. But, in
stead of being retained for this service,
the boards were discharged, in spite of
protest and the soldiers tossed upon the
country from far environments.
The motive for this blunder may or may
not be apparent. Perhaps certain influ-
ences preferred to loose the fresh paid
soldiers in sections of the country where
spending money is scarce and where the
money of soldiers would be most welcome.
But we do know that the soldiers We're
not demobilized from their home draft
boards, where they would have got some
advantage and where home influences
would shield them.
So we find the draft boards gone and
the government employment agencies
abolished There remain the private en-
ploylhent agencies which collect fee for
each situation given and each worker CIV
en- a job. The government agencies did
this for nothing. The draft boards would
have been glad to do their bit for nothing.
And now the whole business goes for
nothing.
1t is now urged that nation wide plan
of free employment bureaus for soldiers
be taken up. 1t is commendable idea. On
ly men who are on the ground can get re-
suits. There will be nothing gained
through administrative action. Washing
ton has succeeded only in making it tough
on the soldier It's pretty bitter to talk of
charity beginning at home in connection
with jobs for soldiers who fought for the
country, but it will have to begin at home
We believe that draft boards are as eag-
er as ever to organize things. They have
the experience of men and they know the
situation. They do not need government
sanction for volunteer work. They have
a right to organize as civic boards We
suggest that the whole organization be
revived under the old discipline, and that
its members be asked to take hand in
putting the soldiers in jobs. Surely the
administration cannot object to the
boards doing as citizens that which as Of
ficials they were forbidden to do.-Chi-
