TRADE BY BARTER.

Holland Finland and the Scandinavian coun-
tries have entered into an agreement not to re-
sumo trade with Russia until that government
pays or guarantees to pay debts due their citl-
zens The European allies, on the other hand,
have decided to trade with Russia by barter or
exchange of goods, forced TO this course ap-
parently by their need of raw materials and the
necessity of keeping their industries alive.
It seems within the possibilities that the al
lies NAV be driven to trade with us upon bar
ter basis. England, for example, might send
lis shiploaCs of fine WOODEN textiles and take
cargoes of cotton home. At present, owing to
the difference in exchange, England must pay
us fifty-three cents Il pound for cotton which
sells in New York City for thirty-siX cents,
which is clearly handicap the British manu-
facturer cannot overcome. Who makes the
extra seventeen cents is not entirely clear; but
the American producer does not make it, and
1T comes out Of the pocket of the British manu-
Gaeturer For him it is an onerous and intolcr-
RbIe condition and helps us to realize the fnan-
rial and industrial chaos brought on Europe by
the war.

earthly activity man who was at all times IN

ALLIES ABANDON WILSON.

Although the majority of the French peo-
pie have been unable to understand that Presl-
dent Wilson did not represent the American
people at the peace conference and that the re-
suit was the inevitable retardng of final action
by the United States senate, there has been at
least one French newspaper that has apparent
'ly understood the situation from the beginning.
This paper is the Echo de Paris. The editors
Of this influential Paris organ have stood by
the United States throughout the long months
of difficulty and tried to make the French peo-
pie understand the situation. Now that the
Lord Grey letter has cleared the atmosphere
$50 far as Great Britain is concerned, the Echo
de Paris once more comes to the front with a
declaration to the effect that 1.-THE allies are
abandoning President Wilson, The paper
also adds that before many days the world may
expect to see an official note from the french
and British cabinets along the same lines as the
Grey letter ''Our friends beyond the At
Iantc,'' continues the Echo de Paris, cannot
fail to understand the significance Of the lang
uage they have just heard. 1t simply means
that the allies are abandoning President Wilson
and are trying to come to terms with the ma
jority in the American congress.
In other words Europe is at last realizing
that at least so far as the peace treaty with It's
league of nations is concerned, Woodrow Will
son and the majority of the United States SEN
ate, the former representing one branch and the
latter the other of the two American treaty
making powers, are two distinct influences.
And further that President Wilson did not rep
resent the American people as has been proved
conclusively since the majority Of the senate
practically agreed to the Lodge reservations.
1t has, is and always will be a question of adj
herring to the inherent principles of America as
laid down by the founding fathers. America
cannot afford to sacrifice her governmental free
dom and power by linking herself completely
with any European country.
