THE FIUME SETTLEMENT

Insofar as there is n victory in the
final settlement OF Tie Fiume question,
il is an Italian one. FIume. BY the
treaty between JuGo-Siovia and Italy. IS
made an independent state. but IS con-
trolled by Italians and connected with
Italy by 4 strip Of land. With such an
arrangement. 1t is not difficult to look
into the future and see a time when the
union of Eiume with Italy Will be COM
plete
Thus does Nr. Wilson lose the appeal
he mldc To the Italian people over the
heads OF Orlando and Sonnino. Threat
ened with the loss OF the economic sup
port OF the United States in Italys re-
construction plans. Nitti took u Compro-
mise attitude. D'Annunzio has not won
all OF his contention. but he has come
nearer than any other one man.
Jugo-SlaYia is apparently satisfied
with this disposition Of Fiume, having
obtained some other concessions from
Italy. Ffume was an annoying and in
trlcatr question and now that it IS
finally settled. both Italy and Jugo-
Slavia can proceed with reconstruction
work at much faster pace. There IS
nothing 10 prevent either from attain
ing high degree OF influence and pros
.perity.

NO OIL DISCRIMINATION

Admiral Chester takes exceptions to
the published statements that foreign
countries. notably Great Britain and
France, have barred outsiders from de-
.veloping oil lands in territory controlled
by them. Taking Mesopotamia as an in
stance, he cites the treaty provision.
against any prejudice TO the rights of
:non-signatory powers to the treaty to
free access TO the various areas for COM
mercIal and economic purposes"
He also calls attention to the fact
that an American syndicate which OBJ
tanned an oil land concession in Turkey
prior TO 1914 has been permitted full lib
erty of action despite the fact that Brit
ain. France and Italy have divided Tur-
key into spheres OF Influence. 1t IS all
. matter, Admiral Chester says, OF the
Americans getting on the ground and
acquiring control in the ordinary COM
mercial manner.
Probably this Is correct. but Il Is also
true that the European governments
give their own subjects such a large de-
gree OF substantial encoura cement and
cooperation that Americans would find
oil development tough shedding. How.
ever, there would be no harm in looking
into the possibilities. Europeans arc
holding back on their oil reserves and
perhaps we might be able to stir them
up a bit.

NOT YET PREsIDENT-ELECT

II Is rather an odd legal fact that Mt.
Harding. although the overwhelming
choice OF the people at the polls. IS not
vet pres .dcut-clect. The voters. as Ia
well unde-s TODD. do no. vote directly for
the President, but for presidential cleo
tors. These electors are not legally
bound 10 vote for any particular man.
When tho electoral college meets. It Is
always legally possible for the electors
to choose US President a man who was
not a candidate on any ticket. Such a
thing has never been done and in all
human probability never Will be. but IL
Is always I legal possibility. There would
In such 4 case be no recourse against
the electors except the indignation Of
the public The man for whom they
vote Is the President under the consts-
tuition and that decision could not be
changed. However. it would not be very
safe for the electors TO so home or even
out on the street after following such
q course.
There is only one conCelvab!s situa-
ton in which the electors might vote
for a man other than the head OF their
ticket. That Is. II some development
between election day and the date of the
meeting Of the electors. such as the
death OF the newly elected chief execu-
tive. should make q change in their
votes imperative.

W. A. WILSON

The death OF w. A. Wilson has re-
moved from the Wheeling community 4
man OF a type that any city can i'll af-
ford to lose. Hirile and successful in
his many business undertakings. he
typif!ed in his life the spirit and tho
achievements OF Wheeling. Born and
reared here. there was ever 4 great
mutual admiration between him and his
native city. and he was always staunch
supporter of worthy civic movements.
During his rs years here, Mr.. Wilson
became intimately and prominently con-
nected with practically every phase OF
WheelIuEs activities. AS manufacturer,
merchant and banker. he helped to lay
the solid foundations of the c!ty's pros
perity and to build the splendid super
structure. His lodge and church con-
! nections were admirable and consistent
and in the midst of all his busy life he
found time TO be 4 leader in charitable
work
His associates in all of these act!vi-
ties will miss the unwarering supper,
and keen judgmen. on which they were
accustomed to rely. Those most closely
associated with him will miss his un-
ostentattous acts OF kindness.

INCITERS TO CRIME

Dispatches concerning the efforts Of
the Russian Reds to organize Sov!ets in
the United States indicate that Lenine
Is taking this idea seriously. The latest
received in Washington IS to the effect
that the Russians expect America to
have q huge army OF unemployed by the
first Of the year. which they believe will
mean fertile soil for Bolshevist propa =
Kanda. Agents. It IS said. are being sent
here to supply the initiative sor Soviet
movements.
To expect 70 succeed In the United
States with such movement is Wild
absurdlty. II IS quite possible. how
ever. that II these Russian ag!tators
gain access 70 this country. they may
stir up the !gnoran, and vicious to COM
nit individual crimes. The best way 10
handle such a crime wave IS 10 prevent

is to act now 10 keep these Red agita-
tors out.

THE BEST NAVAL POLICY

Naval officers and experts have had
much to say recently about the division
Of the American fleet by Secretary
Daniels. who sent one part to the Pacific
and retained the other part in the Allan
tic. Almost all criticised the sccretary'S
action as against the principles OF naval
strategy. One of the most elementary
of these principles is that nations
fleet should be kept at all times pre-
pared to meet the fleet OF the enemy.
At the present time, We have not
enough warships TO place an adequate
fleet in the Pacific and another ade-
quate fleet in the Atlantic. We should
have enough and then establish a def
nito and permanent policy OF keeping n
fleet in each ocean big enough to ham
die any probable enemy. The Panama
canal gives US some additional naval
strength. but 1t Is always possible that
the canal might be blocked and then the
two halves OF one adequate fleet could
not join II separated. nor the entire fleet
pass from one ocean to the other II
needed in an emergency.
