LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Fishing at Gardner Lake.

MT. EdSor; Sentaor yvaternan's bill "Restriciing Fishing n Gardner Lake" is assigned for hearing Tues day, March 4th, at D. Fn.. Room 65 fourth floors east side state capitol, Hartford.
 I very much desire that all who are interested in this bill naI know when the hearing lakes place. This applies equally well 10 those who favor the bill as we'll as to those who oppose it. I have opposed the bill from the very first and I did so with @ clear con- science. My action in 90 tsoing has been and is now absolutely without ex- ception controlled by fair and just motives. As a sportsman and do not merely pose" as one, for I claim to be one-I feel it to ha my duty to take the stand I have. and 1t is not the first time I have undergone dis agreeable tasks to further thc veal in terest of tha fish and game of our state.
 Nc man with a just cause need fear publicity. Nobody with a spark of manhood in Lis miserable being would attack another man who fought in the open. and make the onslaught with
 concealed identity.
 Sooner or :ater the pubiic finds out. One advocate has revealed himself. "A
 bill to limit fishing in Gai iner Lake to Tuesdays. Thursdays and. Satur-
 days is opposed in an open letter by
 George Seth Brown of JG1ett City,
 who contends that it's purpose is to
 prevent fishing on Sundays. He says
 the man who labors six days in a week should have the other day to go fishing if he wishes"
 The Courant will not print anony- noUs contributions. The following appeared February 17th. and was dated at Norwich Conn:

Internatiomallzi,aQ Speech

Nine of the worlds principal languages are
represented in the Marconi international cable
and wireless code-English French, Spanish,
Portuguese, Italian, German, Dutch, Japanese
and Russian. The code represents the labors
of a corps of business, legal, financial and lin
quail experts. covering period Of three years,
and it is said to cover every ordinary human
need of readily understood and precise COM
muncation among the nationalities subscribing
to it.
Here we seem to have, at last, a practicable
means of breaking down those barriers of
strange speech that so long have set men by
the ears The airpane, the wireless and the
"hu" germ have made all men neighbors,
brought them within talking distance of one
another and inspired in them a yearning to
talk over the back fence and establish borrow
ing and trade relations. The one thing needful
was a system of clear, concise international
speech, and this the Marconi organization may
have supplied. 1t is boldly asserted that this
or some similar code will soon be in everyday
use. Commerce demands it.

which autocraces and other abuses thrive, be-

WAR ON HIGH PRICES.

The determination of the attorney general
to begin suit against the packers is accepted as
the first shot in the war on high prices. 1t is
to be fervently hoped that the case be prose-
cuted with all vigor and thoroughness, that
final determination may be had, and the public
have at the end information on which reliance
may be placed as to responsibility of the meat
packers for any undue increase in the cost OF
living.
Accompanying this suit, is move against
the hoarders of food. In this category fall the
spectators who are carrying large stores of
perishable food articles in warehouses; 1t has
been forced upon the world that the boon of
cold storage has been distorted into burden.
Turned from its benehcient purpose of pre-
serving surplus food against time of scarcity,
it has been made the means Of holding from
the market supplies at time of need, in order
that higher prices may be exacted. To what
extent this practice prevails, and how far the
legitimate purpose of the cold storage ware
house is involved may also be developed
through judicial inquiry.
A serious and edfying debate in the senate
last week turned on the effect of an inflated
currency on the business affairs of the country.
1t is admitted that the present level Of prices
rests on the enormous volume of money in ex-
istence. The unsettled point is how to reduce
the volume without undue disturbance to bust
ness.
Deliberate prohteerng is alleged against
certain lines, and the exterior facts appear to
support this. Inquiry is to be directed to the
end that the truth may be brought out. The
president will, it is announced, again postpone
his trip through the country that he may give
assistance to the government agencies involved
in the quest for the remedy. The investigation
is to be made general, and if any virtue resides
in official activity, relief ought soon to follow.

Meat Publicltu
From the Washington Post.

The various live stock associations are con-
Quoting national, general publicity campaign
to persuade people to eat more beef and lamb,
thus proceeding in a direction opposite to that
of the eat-less-meat publicity drives of the
food administration during the war. 1t will be
interesting to see how far the present publicity
campaign can tear down the results achieved
by its predecessor. In fact, all these attempts
to use publicity as means OF shaping mass
policy most interesting.
1t can hardly be expected that the stock
men will succeed as we'll as Mr.. Hoover did.
While they have the advantage of urging a
favorable response to appetite instead of seek
ing to check it, the susceptibility OF the public
to appeals calling for a change in domestic
economy has largely vanished along with the
war. After months and even years of self
denial for the general good or somebody else's
good the average citizen now delights in hui
moring himself. He willingly deprived himself
OF meat during the war as part OF his con-
tribution to the general good, but it is doubt
full if he will now spend more money for more
meat in order that he may not have less meat
year or two from now.
The theory of the stockmen is that unless
demand can be increased, with resulting better
prices to themselves. the meat producing indus
try will decline, thus bringing an era of actual
scarcity and higher prices. Doubtless the pub
lie sympathizes with the farmers and ranchers
who are receiving ruinous prices for live stock,
while the public is paying ruinous prices for
meat, but it would be more responsive to an
appeal to its pocketbook instead of to its SYM
pathies.
How would it be for the stockmen to con-
centrate their attention on the highly acquisi-
tive agencies between themselves and the con-
sumers, which prevent the latter from getting
cheap beef when meat animals are cheap?
period of reasonable prices would do more to
stimulate demand than all the appeals that can
be made, so long as the latter coincident
with the existence of an appallingly efficient
system of absorbing the public's pennies long
before they reach their ostensible destination
on the plains or in the feeding pens.

Japan and Shantung Once More.

The president expresses himself as entirely
satisfied with Japan's frank statement of pur
pose as to Shantung. We fear he will en-
counter some difficulty in bringing his fellow
countrymen entirely to his view.
Article $50 of the Treaty of Versailles reads:
Germany renounces in favor of Japan all
her rights, title and privilege particularly
those concerning the territory of klaochow,
railways mines and submarine cables-whch
she acquired in virtue of the treaty concluded
by her with China on March f, 1898, and of
all other arrangements relative to the prov
ince of Shantung.
And it is on this that Japan now pretends to
rest its claim to the richest province in China.
The treaties covering the concessions Germany
extorted from China are yet withheld.
Viscount Uchida, Japanese foreign minister,
is quoted in current dispatches as declaring
that Japan does not intend to claim any rights
affecting the territorial sovereignty of China in
Shantung. He
recalls that Japan by an ultimatum in August,
1914 demanded the surrender by Germany of
the entire leased territory of Kiaochow with
out condition or compensation, within a
month with view of its eventual restoration
to China.
Its eventual restoration to China" sounds
good. What it means may be understood by an
examination of the Japanese utimatum to
China, delivered on May 7, 1915, in which occurs
the following language:
From the commercial and military points
of view, kiaochow is an important place, IN
the acquisition of which the Japanese empire
sacrificed much blood and money, and after
the acquisition the empire incurs no obliga-
ton to restore it to China.
In other words, the government at Toxic
had as early as the spring of 1915 resolved to
hold Shantung. 1t did, however, propose
the "twenty-one demands" to Picking, which in
reply demanded the unconditional return OF
the territory, and drew out this comment from
Toxic:
Since Japan could not tolerate such de-
mands, the settlement of the other questions,
however compromising it may be, would not
be to her interest. The consequence is that
the present reply of the Chinese government
is on the whole, vague and meaningless.
Having thus disposed of China's protest and
request that the property seized by Germany
be restored, the Japanese ultimatum concludes:
The imperial government hereby again
offer its advice and hope the Chinese gov
eminent, upon this advice, will give a. salts
factory reply by E o'clock, p. M, on the 9th
day of May 1t is hereby declared that if no
satisfactory reply is received before or at
the specified time, the imperial government
will take steps they deem necessary.
Under this open threat of war, China sub
mitted to Japan, just as it had to Germany,
and signed secret treaties which conceded all
the government to Toxic demanded and which
the government at Picking was too weak to
deny. And these enforced agreements are
sought to be validated by the proceedings at
Paris. Japan will get out of Shantung when it
is forced out and not before.

Hieh Rents in Omaha.

property owners in Omaha are charging
preposterous rents" says the United States dis
trct attorneys assistant, who is commissioned
to conduct an inquiry into the high cost of liv-
ing. He proposes to make full investigation.
The housing situation is serious here, as it is
elsewhere throughout the country, and land
lords have evinced disposition to take advan-
tage of tle situation. Rents were generally ad-
vanced last year, but very recently notice OF
another increase was given. Whether this is
justified or not must be determined by the
authorities The demand for homes exceeds
the supply locally, and within reason the own
ers are entitledeto gain through the condition
thus presented. 1t is to be seriously ques-
toned though, if they are warranted in placing
rents at point that amounts to extortion. 1t
may develop that the view of the federal at
torney as to what is right is subject to mod
ihcaton. but an inquiry will do no harm to
any and may satisfy some.

Social Justice-HOw?

Canton, S. D., Aug. Ito the
Editor of The Bee: Time and again
the dictum of the worlds judges
has been set aside through public
opinion, insomuch that the punish
ments were not reformatory nor
conducive of good fruit. Judge
Lindsay, realizing the need of
breadth on the bench, recently
placed one of the indicted there to
render his own sentence. Indeed
this is one of the rarities of legal
procedure, but we think the Judge
was on the right track when exait-
ing leniency. We know Of more good
wrought through kindness and fair
dealing than yards of Jurisprudence.
Law IS for polished criminality as
much as for the uncouth, hence
despots and tyrants should alike be
dealt with after a summary man
ner, lest injustice break out in the
ranks. However, Holy Writ must
be fulfilled to the effect that justice
Is fallen in the streets and in con-
sequence incest has spread abroad.
1t is possible harsh measures might
be used to quell strike orders, even
to the drafting of labor by the state
or nation, but this will surely bear
some more bitter fruit, as we see
in England. Alas! we see no solid
hope of enduring peace until this
selfish spirit has burnt itself out and
the great Prince of Peace rides in
on the scene with his regime of
righteousness. Thenceforth is the
promise that He will make truth
flourish in the earth and the people
will learn to do right when His
judgments are in the earth. This is
to begin at Jerusalem after Israel
is restored there. Incipient error
started at Nicea and has long null
tiplied the confusion of togues.

Hon. Treaties Are Ratified

The American method of ratifying treaties
differs from the method in use in the European
democracies. We have more representative
system than the British, but less representa-
tive one than the French or Italians.
The treaty making power in this country is
vested in the president and the senate. The
popular branch of congress-the house of rep
resentatives-has no voice in the ratification
of conventions with foreign powers. But, on
the other hand, it annul them in whole or
in part by refusing to pass legislation carrying
them into effect or by passing legislation in
conflict with their provisions.
The senate is the only check the presi-
dent in our scheme Of treaty making. And the
senate's influence on the process is enhanced
by the fact that the draft of treaty submitted
by the executive must be approved by two
thirds of the senator's present instead of by a
mere majority.
According to British custom a\treaty may
be proclaimed by the government without the
approval of either house of parliament. Lloyd
George nevertheless submitted to parliament
both the Treaty of Versailles and tripartite ALI
ance treaty recently signed by France, Great
Britain and the United States. They were both
approved, although they could have been pro-
claimed without such action.
The French constitution requires treaties OF
peace and certain other classes Of treaties to
be laid before the senate and chamber of dep
uties for action. The lower house, which is by
far the more powerful branch of the French
parliament, will take the lead in discussing the
German treaty. A majority in either branch
may amend or reject.
The Italian constitution also provides for
the approval of treaties by both legislative
branches. The lower house at Rome greatly
overshadows the senate. Much more than the
French chamber it is the government. The
Italian parliament will probably delay action
on the treaty with Germany until after the Aus
trian, Hungarian and Turkish treaties are COM
pleted Italy's interests are only slightly af
fected by the settlement with Germany: They
will be vitality affected by the terms of the later
settlements.
In Japan, as in Great Britain, the treaty
making power is vested exclusively in the
crown. If the Japanese parliament is allowed
to pass on the treaties ending the war it will be
only as matter of imperial courtesy.-New
York Tribune.
