GET PRELIMINARY PEACE
TREATY IN TWO WEEKS
Then for the Huns-Make
the Enemy Pay.

Paris.-The peace treaty and the
league of nations undoubtedly have
reached the final stage of negotia-
tions, but it is not clear that they
are out of troubled waters, as they
must pass the ordeal of a plenary
session of the peace conference and
then go before the Versailles con-
gress, where enemy powers will be
represented. Indications are that a
combination of both documents will
be written into a preliminary peace
traty within the coming two weeks.
The Germans then will be called in
and the present peace conference"
will be merged into the peace con
gress."
The council of four is understood
to have fixed for the peace congress
tentative dates between April 26 and
May 5, but no announcement has been
made as to details, so Premier Lloyd
George may have something to dis
close when he addresses the British
parliament next Wednesday.
The summoning of the ship George
Washington by President Wilson led
to belief that his departure was i'm.
minent, but intimate friends say the
progress which has been realized will
permit Mr.. Wilson to remain and par
ticipate in the congress at Versailles
when German plenipotentiaries take
part.
1t is not intended to permit a long
discussion by the enemy, but to con
fine the exchange of ideas to a brief
period, probably 10 days or two
weeks, and then reach final conclu

They were clad in blue---the immortal blue of heroic France. The COWS we passed belonged to them.

IN CONTEMPT OF DIPLOMACY

ing his arch enemy in the Brooklyn theatre.
 Nor is the war on diplomacy con fined to the friends of Ireland who mce- and declaim and applaud on this side of the ocean. MT John T. 0'Aelly, the Sim Fein envoy to Paris, is equally reckless of conse- que1CGs. He announces that he is through with soft language. He is going to assert his strength Hear him: We have pleaded and spoken gently to President Wilson long enough. The time has come for acts. We can stop ratification of this League of Nations in Congress if the Irish Question is not settled.''
 Whether MT. O'Kelly will be able to carry out his threat is something that might we'll be debated. The threat ttseEf does not read well in the United States. At any rate diplomacy would counsel MT. O'Kelly to make spa-iDs use of his alleged strength in the American Congress. Moreover he may not be so strong in that par tlcular place as he claims to be. When Marshal VilIars was taking leave Of Louis XIV, the old soldier is said to have exclaimed: Defend me from my friends. I can defend my self from my enemies" If Ireland could speak she would probably ex- press herself in like sentiments. It may be the part Of frankness to desDise diplomacy. Diplomacy, how ever, has been the approved weapon Of hundreds of thousands of men who fancied that they were spending their best energies in behalf of their coun- try Why men, physically powerIess, can fancy that they are helping their country by despising the use of the means employed by stronger. peoples from time immenoria1 is something that benevolent observers cannot comprehend. On reading of the conduct of these undiplomatic friends of Erin we are reminded of George Canning's wise words:
 Give me the avowed, the erect, the
 manly foe,
 Bold I can perhaps may turD

 But of all the plaques. good Heaven,
 Thy wrath can send,
 Save, save, oh save me from the

Teau of the Department of Commerce that Is admirably adapted to render the most valuable assistance to our nlanuf2cturers I refer to the Bureau of Standards. It has a corps of sci- entists, chemists, physicists, and elec- triclans well qualifiel5i to give to ATnercan manufacturers the same kind of help that university graduates have given to German nufactur-ers.
 IT any manufacturer of Bridgeport, or anywhere else in the United States. has a. difficult problem to solve he should sit down and write to the Bu- reau of Standards and in all human probability he will get the help he needs. l could give you numberI instances in which very great econo- mics have been effected as the result of direct contact with the Bureau of Standards.
 Another advantage we are now tc enjoy is a large America merchant marine. We are to have ships sailing under own own flag with which to deliver our supplies and products to people of foreign countries and bring back rubber, hides, and numberiess ether raw materials needed in our
 manufacturing processes.
 As one of the results of the great war, the British merchant marine shows ., loss of from IS to 20 per cent. Japan, on the other hand shows 0 gain of 9 per cent, and our own country an increase Of 125 per cent Best of all, we have learned to build ships. During the war we built them with great speed without much regard to cost, but the assembling idea has been introduced into sllipbuilding and there is no reason why the great ship building industry should not continue in the United States; giving employ ment to a vast number of men, and at the same time providing facilities which will be greatly needed. not only for our own foreign commerce, but to supplement the depletion of the worlds shipping caused by the sub- marine policy of Germany

A CANADIAN ANNIVERSARY

Fifty-two years ago today, on March 2S, 1887, the British North America act received the assent Of Queen Victoria. This act, which had been passed by the Imperial ParIia- rleDt. became the constitution of the new nation which was formally insti- Juted on the first of July foIlowing. By this act of confederation Upper and Lower Canada became the prov inces of Ontario and Quebec, and with Nova Scotia and New Brunswick constituted the original provinces of the Dominion. Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland were represented in the early conferences looking to the confederation. but both with drew. Manitoba entered the Domin- ion as a. province in 1870, British Co., Iumbia in 1871, and Prince Edward Island in 1873. Alberta, and Saskat- chewan were made provinces in 1850. Several attempts to bring about the inclusion of Newfoundland have been made.
 Sir John Macdonald, who became the first premier of the Dominion. was the recognized leader of the efF'ath- CTS of the Confederation" and was chairman of the delegates who went to London to see the bill through the Imperial Parliament. Sir John favor ed the title of Kingdom of Canada for the new nation, and it was so designated in the first draft of the act. Others of the Fathers op- posed this title as being objectionable to the republican sentiments animat- ing the greateS part of the New World, and this view was shared by the British Foreign Secretary, Lord Stab1ey, and Kingdom was changed tn Dominion
 While the British government serv- cd as the principal model for ths makers of the new nation, and the whole system conformed as far as possible to the constitution of Great Britain, the geographical, historical and political necessities of the sftua- ton demanded an administrative scheme that was, in many respects similar to the system in vogue in the United States. The two great Eng ish-speaking demo era cies, one of the Ol9 World and one of the New, thus afforded object lessons for the 9Cana-s dian nation builders to follow

To do this We musr

factory prices To do this we must practice every possible economy.
 One of the greatest advantages of the Germans prior to the war in thelr efforts to secure foreign trade came from the close alliance between her university graduates and her manu- featuring organizations. The effect was to produce economies by stand~ ardization and in many other ways It should be our aim to pursue the same policy and secure better co-op- eratiOn between our men of technical knowledge and our industries.
 We also need better cooperation between our financial institutions and cur industries. In most foreign countries il Is customary to do busi- ness upon long credits. The British and German banks have, with profit to themselves, helped their manufac- turers and enabled them to use the.r capital in their own business by car ryins long time credits on foreign business. The Federal Reserve banks are prepared to do business 5t this kind and a recent law appro- priating one billion dollars for the use of foreign trade indicates the purpose of our own government to render assistance of this kind to our own manufacturers Moreover, sev- eral of the largest banks Of the Unit ed States have within recent years es- abolished branches in various foreign countries, and are prepared to estab- fish more.
 Another thing that is going to help materially in the development of our foreign trade is the fact that our country today is the only source from v hich money can be obtained for for eign developments, and it is a well understood fact that wherever in vestments are made, trade is sure tc follow.
 In the matter of economical man. l1fa.2ture--- which in the long run is of vital importance-there is one Bu-

Prior to 1913 the people of the United States evinced very little in terest ia foreign trade. They seem ed to be satisfied with doing what they could to maintain home mar kets.
 The Department of Commerce, however, took 8 different view of the situation, and in the year 1913 asked Congress for an appropriation of S150.00 with which to employ com merciaI attaches, to be sent to foreign countries in the interests of foreign trade. Congress gave us an abpro- rriation of $100.O0 which we used in sending ten commercial attach hes- men of marked abiIity-to foreign countries; four to countries in South America, four to Europe and two to the Orient. We also sent conner ciaI agents-men who had specialized in particular industries various parts of the world in search of mar kets for American made goods.
 The results of these efforts have been most satisfactory, so much so that with very little direct effort or the part of our own manufacturers, and with Q merchant marine in for eiSn trade. which was negligible, our foreign trade at the beginning of the war in Europe was surpassed only by that of Great Britain and Germany. Great Britain stood first; Germany, at e considerable distance, second, Unit ed States. third, France, fourth, and Italy, fifth. As one of the results of the war, our own commerce now heads the list. and if exports alone ara considered, our pre-eminence over Great Britain or any other foreign country is very marked.
 In order that we may keep our wheels turning we must do our ut most to maintain our present position in foreign markets. That means worldwide competition. It means in the final analysis that we must make goods of superior quality and must be able to sell them at satis-

The following article entitled Tn Contempt of Diplomacy" is quoted from the Catholic Transcript. II breathes the spirit of an American writer who is in accord with the bosL methods of obtaining Irish Freedom:
 The fact that President Wilson re- fused to treat with the members of the Irish Race Committee while Judge CohaIan was of their company has made him a real hero among certain champions of the Irish cause. Al Q CIan-na-Gael meeting in Brooklyn last Sunday evening His Honor was cheared to the echo as he made his way to 9 seat on the stage.
 Whatever may be thought of MT. Wilson's refusal to meet Judge Co., halan in company with the rest of the committee. elementary diplomacy would declare it inadvisable to dub him hero at the present moment. In order to accen%rate their disregard for the canons observed by shrewd international statesmen, the same CIan-na-GaeI meeting gave an enthu- siastic welcome as well as the floor of their house to Senator B0rah, the avowed antagonist of the President in his darling project looking to the League of Nations.
 While Senator Borah was ''arous- ing enthusiasm among the Clan-n2- Galel by attacking the League of Ma ttons in it's present form at one end of the Brooklyn Bridge, at the other end Dr. Van Dyke was asking the worshtppers in the Brick Presbyter- Ian church: Shall we follow @ pa gan pessimist like Borah of Idaho, who said a few days ago that if Jesus Christ should come down and direct him to, he would not accept the League of Nations; or shall we follCw the leadership of Christian moraIsts like Roosevelt, Taft and Wilson, who bid us go forward? It is not a Cues- ton of religion" continued Dr. Van Dyke, ''it is a question of infidelity or faith. Let us look up to the rain bow, and in that sign advance and conquer in the name Of Jesus Christ
