A Hopeful View
"The Washington Post" takes a
hopeful view and notes that the ma
tional associations of shoe, clothing
and drygoods retail dealers have
Joined the movement to get business
back to a normal basis. The trouble
has been that everybody expected,
along with extra pay, an immediate
fall in prices, which had to be a
gradual process. Indications are
now pointing to the ebb Of the tide
and hope Of material relief during
1920. After all, prices have risen
between August and November in
past years, while this year they
have remained stationary during
that period, and there has always
been tendency for prices to fall
early in the year. "There is no
ground to believe" says "The Bal
timore American" chat the pre-
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1920-01-04
The Democratic Side

On the Democratic side .sThe
Cleveland Plain-Dealer" continues
the independent support of the
treaty, dividing the blame equally
between the two parties and urging
prompt compromises:
1.-THE pressure of public opinion is
beginning to tell in the Senate con-
troversy over ratification. That the
country wants the treaty and league of
nations covenant approved without
emasculating reservations has long
been apparent. Senators now show an
inclination to bow to popular sentiment
on the question.
1.-THE treaty might easily have been
ratified before the holiday adjourn
ment had majority and minority lead
ers been willing to swallow their pride
niomsntarilya and put through a pro-.
gram Of conciliation already agreed
to informally as to detail. That OPP
portunity WAS thrown away. But. evil
dences have continued to multiply since
the adjournment that Senators are not
as Indifferent to the currents of public
thought as they sometimes like to
appear to be.
"From the minority side, through
Senator Underwood, comes a proposal
Of quite another characteristics a BIZ
partisan committee be chosen to work
out ratification resolution Of such q
character that it may command the nee
essary two-thirds vote. The bitter
enders, of course, are left out of con-
sideration. They see no merit in any
league Of nations and would prefer to
see peace held up indefinitely rather
than approve society of powers to
preserve peace

Lodge. Unless they so decide, they will
get nowhere, and the country will get
nowhere. Surely there can no longer
be any doubt as to the Massachusetts
Senator's attitude.
Republicans should by this time
realize that there is no party question
involved. There is no longer any obi
cation on the part of those who favor
the league to follow the leadership Of
the man who by his every act has
shown that he is hostile to it. The
question is one of making the will of
the Senate majority, without distinc-
ton of party, prevail, and of bringing
together the Senators, constituting two
thirds of the Senate, on resolution of
ratification. Senators will be judged
by the people. not on the basis of their
loyalty to Che Lodge leadership, but
rather by their esponsiveness-or lack
of ito the PEOPLES will"
