IGNORE THE PEOPLE

L VERY DAY that passes brings new proofs
l. that President Wilson was right when ne
told the senate that there can be no escape from
the effects of the war until the United States
filed its acceptance Of the terms of peace with
Germany that is, until the treaty ceases to be
a mere memorandum of an agreement and be-
comes binding contract.
Abundant colroboration of the presidents
statement is supplied by the senate itself. While
the problems of the present press for solution,
while industry and commerce and government
itself linger between peace and war, with none
of the certainty of either to steady them, the re-
publican ma ority in the senate debates hypo-
thetcal crises of the future. Practical consider
alton of the countrys immediate needs in legls-
laton is abandoned for academic discussions of
the affairs of other times and other peoples.
The American people who are supposed to
be the senateS masters and who certainly are its
paymasters, have been waiting with more or less
patience for some action that would formally
and finally end the war and produce the status
Of permanent peace. But the senate has ignored
the wishes and demands of its own constituents
to hear the complaints of outsiders. Of course,
this show of interest in the representatives of
small nations, old and new, is prompted by par
unmistak akable-delay of peace, postponement of
reconstruction, disturbance of business, hamper
ing Of every activity, public and private
Disposition of the railroads is alone a sub
iect to which the senate should have been de-
voting a large portion of its time and its
very best thought. Production and distribution
depend in large measure on the railroads, and
whatever affects them for good or i'll has cor
responding reaction on every industry and activ
ity in the land. But the senate not only has
failed to move but even to give sign that it re-
CARDS the question with serious concern.
Meantime, the senate, under the pressure of
its republican leaders, lends ear to the repre-
sentatves' small minorities who speak not for
the United States but for other nations. 1t is
time that the American people are heard by the
senate.
