Senior DATo's proclamation.
Strikes become political material
more readily in Spain, perhaps, than
in any other country. They have in
the past been used by political par
ties 10 further their ends and they
have been employed as means TO over
throw ministries. They have been
unusually frequent since the war and
have in many cases involved municipal
employees to, such an extent as to
shut down the operation of all public
utilities Madrid, the capital, was a
sufferer, and the town of Saragossa
was so severely crippled that for
weeks the clergy served as grave dig
gers and the townspeople lighted and
turned on the street lamps and acted
rs firemen and policemen.
\ paralysis Of industrial life re-
suited and the Mayor and the forty
four town councillors joiped the ranks
of the strikers when the Indignation
Of the townspeope was directed
against them. The strike that is
now threatening the nation is that
of the postal employees, which, it is
said, will be undertaken at the time
Of the assembly of the International
Postal Congress at Madrid The Gov
eminent holds that the demands of
the syndicalists are excessive, but it
has hrought\ forward no successful
plan for combating them.
The reception accorded ALFONSO on
his visit to Barcelona was believed TO
be a promise of the settlement of The
Catalonian question. But the real
point in the dispute remains; the re-
volt of the Catalonians and their
agitation for autonomy were not
against Spain so much as against the
antiquated Spanish system of govern
ment. The only settlement will be
the restoration Of Catalonia to true
place in the Spanish Kingdom.
The present conference may bring
forth new Cabinet, but the trouble
is that this will be change in name
and not in spirit. Spain to-day is
prosperous, more prosperous than she
has been for centuries, and there
seems no good reason for the difficult
ties with which she at present is strug-
Cling. The remedy against the great
historical crisis which Senior DATo
foresees, seems the simple one so
often proposed by the wellwishers Of
Spain-more of a spirit of moderation
in her treatment Of industrial prob
lens. and fewer regional issues in her
national policies.

Lower Food and Labor Costs Make
Lower Goods Costs.

If 1t is fact that while other food
and commodity prices are sliding
downward or getting ready to slide.
beef tends to climb, it is nothing to
worry about for long. In the first
place, as other food grows cheaper
the public can switch more and more
away from beef to the cheaper foods.
Americans eat altogether too much
meat AS they learn to reduce their
meat diet to favor their pockets they
will learn to keep that meat diet re-
duced to favor their health.
In the second place, there is the all
important fact that the great Ameri-
can staple, corn, is dropping and drop
ping in price as the country prepares
TO receive this years prodlgous crop
Of some three billions of bushels.
Compared with the size of the crop
the quantity of corn that is directly
eaten by the American people is neg
ligible. The corn that is indirectly
consumed is vast. What corn is used
for, in truth, is to make other food.
Corn feeds and fattens cattle. sheep
and hogs; so beef, mutton and pork
are converted corn. Corn feeds and
fattens poultry; so chickens and even
eggs are converted corn. Similarly
butter, milk and cheese are in part
converted corn. And all these corn
basis foods are coming down along
with other foods, and coming down
fast under the natural law of supply
and demand.
The general manufacture of goods
likewise has its relationship to basic
food materials and basic food costs.
AS grain is the determining factor in
the cost of food, labor is the deter
mining factor in the cost Of goods,
AS the burden of abnormal food costs
IS lightened on labor, the burden of
abnormal labor costs can be lightened
on goods. 1t must be if the general
consumer is going to have the coat on
his back, the shoes on his feet and
the roof over his head genuinely and
permanently cheaper
There will not be. because there
cannot be, general dehation of alb
normal goods prices TO consumers
without general denation of abnor-
NAL labor costs in production.

The League and the Traffic in
Women


In calling the attention of the
women voters of New jersey to the
contents of the third paragraph of
Article XXIII. Of the Wilson-CoX
Covenant Mrs. ARTHUR ]. LIvERMoRE
has exhibited a feature Of the pro
posed supergovernment which natur-
ally occasions surprise and indigna-
ton among those Of her sex who had
not previously understood the Signifi-
canoe of the surrender
BY this paragraph, under the gen
eral head of Humanitarian Provi-
siOns." the members undertake ito
entrust the League with the general
supervision over the execution Of
agreements about the traffic in women
and children and the traffic in opium
and other dangerous drugs"
While the provision has the super
fetal appearance of new agency in
the interest of morality It really does
no more than TO transfer to She
League supergovernment general con
troll of those vital questions that be-
long essentially and inalienably to
domestic jurisdiction. As Mrs. L1v-
ERNfoRE pointed out at Somerville the
Covenant does not-profess or attempt
to prohibit in any manner the white
slave traffic, or the traffic in children.
or the traffic in dangerous drugs, but
merely to undertake the execution Of
agreements regarding such traffic. The
speaker held this to he in effect n
recognition of the legality of the un-
holy practice, in the absence of either
prohibition or domination. "a more
cruel or degrading contract" she said
to the two thousand women in her
audience. was never signed or car
ried into effect by the Shareholders
Of the Jungle" And again: THE
whole proposition is so fundamen-
tally repugnant to the higher human
ity for which America stands that it
calls for Reputation from every nome
and must never he sanctiied by the
seal Of this nation"
Whatever may be said or thought
by good women Of the extent 20 which
Article MIL recognizes the legal
ity" Of traffic in women and children
by undertaking to supervise the exc
cution Of international agreements
with regard 70 such traffic. they
should not entertain the slightest
doubt that the WilSon-Cox Covenant
does transfer to foreign jurisdiction
a matter which. should be exclusively
within domestic control.
In stamping out white slavery in
it's international workings the United
States Government Is quite capable
Of making its own international agree
ments without general supervision by
the Wllson-Cox League. It's full ca
pacity in that respect was asserted
by the United States Senate when It
adopted the fourth of the Lodge res
cryations, declaring among other
things that the suppression Of the
traffic in women is q domestic ques-
ton, "solely within the jurisdiction
of the United States; and that il is
mot under this treaty to be sub
mitted in any way either to arbltra-
ton or to the consideration Of the
Council or Of the Assembly Of the
League OF Nations, or any AGENCY

brought 10 the crucial test where
they are resolved to get together and

one more quotation from this
speech of Senator HARDING when he
voted to 90 to war for the mantle
nance of American rights and the
preservation OF the ideals of Amerl-
can nationalism:
II hope that out OF this great
tumult of the world, and our part
therein, there will spring from Co
lumbia's loins the real American, be-
lieving- in popular government and
willing to suffer and sacrifice If need
be, to maintain the rights Of that
government and the people thereun-
der. I believe that this is the great
essential to the perpetuity of the
American Republic-the maintenance
of rights in CONFIDENCE absolutely
without selfish interest. 1t
has come to us to rnsheathe the
sword again, not alone for humanlty's
sal1e-though that splendid inspira-
ton will be involved-but to I'M
sheathe the sword against a great
Power in the maintenance of the
rights of the Republic. in that main
tenance which will give us new
guarantee of nationality. That is the
great thing, and want it known
Mr. President and Senators, that this
is the impelling thought with me Tor
one when I cast my vote"
This is what our neighbor the
World chooses to call degrading ma
ton This is the Worlds idea of 81
refusal to admit that the American
people have any eXaltation Of spirit"
This is what it regards\as dragging
the nation down to the lowest level
of political motive
And with these finely patriotic
words of WARREN c. HARDING ringing
in its ears, and for the maintenance
of American ideals and American ma
as against every other in
terest, every selfish interest. and in
spite of Governor CoX's protest in
his Dayton newspaper only five days
earlier against sending men abroad
"for sentimental purposes" the United
States Senate proceeded to vote war
with Germany.

Why Senator Harding Voted for
War With Germany.

Is our neighbor the World so ia
away from the facts of record tina
it can afford to accuse Senator HAIR
DING of Degrading Nation" becaus
he declared the other day in hi
speech ut Wheeling that the Unitet
States did not go to war to make tn
world safe for democracy" and tina
Eve did not 20 to war even for hu
manity's sake?
This straight statement of an in
disputable fact of history impels tn
chief newspaper supporter of til
Wilson-Cox covenant to say:
Senator HARDING refuses to con-
cede that our dead died for any
noble and inspiring principle. He
refuses to admit that the American
people had any exaltatioE of spirit
that they regarded The war as an
irrepressible conflict uetween- free
dom and autocracy, between the doc
trine of right and the doctrine of
might. To the Republican candidate
it was just a row over some ships
and submarines and disputed inter-
probation of the disputed rights of
neutrals"
Again the World:
Senator HARDING tells the Ameri-
can people that they went to war
without a single generous or disin-
tercsted impulse and asks them to
indorse at the polls his degraded
estimate of them"
