PLAYING Politics With Misery.

The urgent appeals for an appropriation
of sI5O.OOO,OOO for the immediate relief
of the thousands of pcople-women and
children among them in large numbers
in Armenia and Central European coun-
tries have been grudgingly met by the
appropriations committee OF the House
of Representatives with an allowance of
s5O, ,OO0.O 600. And it is not Yet certain
this amount will 60 through Congress
So far as the money is concerned, our
government has it where il can be taken
nj anv time, as the profits of the United
States Grain Corporation in handling the
grain supply of the country during the
war amounted to about hundred million
dollars.
But the curse Of partisan prejudice has
halted this needed work Of charity. The
same narrow spirit of partisan jealousy
that has fought the Treaty Of Peace and
the League of Nations because the ratiii-
cation Of these two matters may reflect
some measure Of credit upon Democratic
national administration has affected and
distorted the consideration by Congress OF
a measure for the relief of the suffering
women and children Of Central Europe.
II has interposed delay in action that
has resulted in protracted misery that
should have been relieved by this time.
We are not to assume the task OF up
building all Of war-distracted Europe and
setting the despoiled people upon their
feet. We are not to loan money to the
goverpments or extend extraordinary
credits to business. These people must
work out their own financial and indus
trial salvation. But we cannot close our
ewes and deaden our ears TO the cries OF
suffering children for food. Such needs
as this, and they are terribly pressing,
should command our sympathy TO the
extent of promptly and generously ex-
tending helping hand.

LETTER AND SPIRIT.

British willingness to accept American
reservations 20 the League Of Nations
covenant as expressed in the letter OF
Niscount Grey, reflects the experience
of practical statesmen that the spirit of
an agreement is more important than the
letter As lord Grey remarked, few Of the
difficulties imagined in the operation Of
great plans are actually met. If there is .
sincere desire on the part of mighty ma
tions TO cooperate for a worthy end, IL
will usually be found that they will CO.
operate 20 the extent of achieving that
end and the letter of their agreement will
not be permitted 10 stand in the way
1t Is easy to imagine many kinds of
terrOrs IN any ASSOCIATION between nations,
but when everything is said the most
terrible thing is falling off in friendship
and understanding and the growth of
antagonistIc sentiments. For that makes it
difficult to carry out any sort Of agree
ment, good or bad, and prevents whole
hearted cooperation 10 achieve ends of
which both nations absolutely approve.
The danger Of impairment of good re-
lations between Great Britain and the
United States which Lord Grey saw deveI-
oplng as n result of the long and unilluTn-
mating controversy over the Peace Treaty
led him 10 give clear expression to the
basic facts as he had arrived ut them
through a painstaking analysis, In brief,
he sought 10 preserve the spirit at the
sacrifice of something Of the letter, know
ing that il is the former that gives life.

4HE INSANITY DEFENSE.

Insanity as defense for major offenses
rs frequently carried 10 point where it
Is well-night ludicrous. 1t is put forth at
times IN the interest of someone whose
sanity was never before questioned not
even suspected by those in daily contact
with the individual. IL is usually clever
plan Of cunning counselor, who calls in
the so-called experts, propounds the hy-
pothetical questions, too complicated
and verbose for human understanding,
and then rests his case after showing the
usual array of vagaries and fancies the in
dividual may have been shown to possess.
One such case has recently been tried
in the West, but the jury disregarded the
wisdom of the numerous so-ealled experts
who were there with mystifying state
ments and technical explanations that
made nothing clear. Another notorious
case, that of a Stacker, whose exploits have
been known over the nation, is to be pre-
sented TO the court rs the case of an in
sane man, and elaborate preparations
are being made to secure the usual number
Of experts to testify-Ohio State Journal.

WAGES, PRODUCTION, PROFITS.

Ono Of the leading piano makers of
England has closed his factory because
he cannot meet the demands for Wages.
Before the war six men would make 4

twenty-six men to do tho same work.
The wages alone exceed the selling pricc

ers, and does not contend with them or
their arguments. He simply cannot keep
h,s factory going. This IL not an isolated
Case. The President of the British Piano
Manufacturer Association says that
Germany will take the British piano trade
If British production is not enlarged. Be
fore the war all piano work WAS piece work,
but the trade has conceded demands about
wagss and hours until the production has
fallen off from 25 10 40 per cent.
II seems that nothing but such sharp
lessons as this will convince labor that
there n merit in the plea of capital that it
must have its wages il labor is to have work
to do. Too many labor leaders are blind
to the fact that wages paid out of either
capital or profits must stop somewhere,
but that there Is no limit to production
as a source of waRss If they are fixed on
economic considerations rather than as
the result of surrender to the power to
stop work in ruthless disregard of all in
tcrests except those of labor. That is as
true Of national interests rs of the interests
of capital. For another British example,
there ARE now more than half million
Of unemployed in England, and the Trades
Union Congress is asking unemploy-
ment doles out ot profits, after such doles
out OF taxes have proved too griovous to
be borne, and are seen to be an undue en-
couragement to idlcness Instances have
been cited when men have refused to
work because they could exist on the dole
doing nothing, and the wage above the dole
was unattrsctive. No doubt British
labor is sincere in some of its ideas, AS,
for example, that the mines should be
nationalizcd to save the profits of their
owners. But the profits are a trifle COM
pared to the cost of naturalization, un-
less IT is established by coniiscation. at
the cost of wrecking British institutions.
