the points mentioned can refuse to ac-

Radical comment upon the revised
covenant is most critical. Says "The
Nation" (New York;:
During the past few days there has been
apparent effort to spread abroad a feel
ing of encouragement concerning the work

which to base hope, we are hidden to
be hopeful. The Big Four are said to be in
agreement. Apparently, so far as one can
read content into the emptiness of the
press accounts, any agreement that has been
reached is over the PROSTATE remnants of
the fourteen points. The Saar Valley, we
are told, is to go to France 'in perpetu-
lty' under some complicated system of
international political control. Reparation
measures are apparently being framed to
meet the demands of Chrstabel Pankhurst
rather than Of President Wilson,"

Similarly, "rhe Boston Transcript" en-
presses thankfulness that "the teeth of
The Tiger have not been hunted," and
congratulates France upon "the vigor
and persistence with which the campaign
for the Saar compensation was waged."
And "The Philadelphia Enquirer" re-
marks
"1f the agreements of the peace council
have at last reached stage acceptable to
Clemenceau-so acceptable that ne can talk
with assurance to visiting and inquiring
delegation-there may be real Allied
peace after all. If The Tiger IS satisfied
