THE AMERICAN LEGIoN's ATTI.
TUDE TOWARD ORGAN
IZED LABOR.

lied LABOR.
Franklin D'Oliver, National Com
mander Of The American Legion, has
issued from National Headquarters
at Indianapolis, the following state
ment regarding the attitude of The
American Legion toward organized
labor.
The attitude of The American Le-
gion toward Organized Labor is ex-
actly the same as it's attitude toward
all groups of American citizens who
are interested in a square deal for all
in the maintenance of law and order
and the protection of the institutions
handed down to us by our forefath-
ers.
The preamble of our Constitution
expresses very clearly the purposes
Of The American Legion and reads as
follows:
For God and Country, we associate
ourselves together for the following
purposes: To uphold and defend the
Constitution Of the United States of
America; to maintain law and order
to foster and perpetuate a one-hun-
dred per cent American:sm; to pre-
serve the memories and incidents of
our association in the Great War; to
inculcate sense of Individual obli-
cation to the community, state and
nation; to combat the autocracy of
both the classes and the masses; to
make right the master or might; to
promote peace and good will on earth;
to safeguard and transmit to posteri-
ty the principles Of justice, freedom
and democracy; to consecrate and
sanctify our comradeship by our de-
votion to mutual helpfulness.'
"The purpose Of The American Le-
gion is two-fold-service to our com
rades and service to our country.
"Under the head of Service to Our
Comrades we will exert all of our in
fluence and all Of our strength to the
end that the ex-service man, especi-
ally the disabled man and his de-
pendents and the dependents of those
who paid the supreme sacrifice, shall
receive that just and fair treatment
which they have reason to expect from
a patriotic and liberal country.
In serving our country we shall
endeavor to keep alive that spirit of
service which induced us all to re-
spond to our country's call in the time
Of her need, even to the extent Of be-
ing willing to pay the supreme sacri-
flee. And this we propose doing by
assisting in the maintenance of a
hundred per cent Americanism based
on fair play and square deal for ALL
"The members of organized labor
are patriotic American citizens and
the members Of the American Legion
are patriotic American citizens who
have proven their patriotism and their
loyalty. Consequently, on the pur-
poses of The American Legion both
they and we are in accord. Many of
our most loyal members are members
OF Organized Labor, and it is our hope
that we may be able to convince ev-
cry ex-service man who is member
OF Organized Labor that our pur-
poses are the same as loyal citizens
and that every ex-service man who
are members of Organized Labor have
proven their loyalty and their pa
triotism to the country and now ap-
preciate their responsibilities as citi-
zens, and we therefore hope it will
not be long before they all are active
members of The American Legion. :"

The conference of the Baltic nations
closed with the appointment of COM
mission to work out plan for de-
fensive alliance against soviet Russia.
Contrary to expectations there was
not even discussion of:the question Of
making peace with the bolshevfki.
Lithuania wanted to form an alliance
with Esthonia and Latvia against Po-
land, and when this was rejected the.
Lithuanians virtually withdrew from
the conference. It is intimated that
Lithuania may make alliances with
both soviet Russia and Germany,
which would make the position of Po-
land even more uncomfortable than it
now is.

Since the World has been the leading

minlstratiOn this aroused great inter-
est and some excitement in the Demo
cratic camp. The important question,
OF course. was whether or not 1t meant
that Mr.. Hoover was the choice of Mr..
Wilson. No one could answer this Of
ncially. Some of the Southern Demo-
Gratis said they would not favor Hoover
because they considered him Repub-
ican; some of the members of the
party from the West thought the farm
ers would oppose him because he put
fixed price on wheat and let cotton
soar. Mr.. Hoover himself maintained
dignihed silence. The secretary of
the Bryan league says Colonel House
is responsible for the Hoover boom.
There has been some talk of Edward
l. Edwards, the wet governor of New

While the federal prohibition agents
are seizing millions OF dollars worth OF
liquors and the bootleggers Oil the bor-
ders and the mponshners everywhere
are making small fortunes, one wisp
of hope Is held Out to the vets. The
Supreme court OF the United States
has granted to Rhode Island permis-
sion to institute in that court original
proceedings to test the validity of both
the prohibition amendment to the Con-
stitution and the Volstend enforcement
act. The suit is brought by direction
of the Rhode Island legislature, which
refused to ratify the amendment. 1t is
alleged that the amendment is an in
reference with the state police powers
and q violation of the fifth constitu-
tional amendment, and is "usurpatory,
unconstitutional and void"
A generally overlooked feature Of
the prohibition law which is of i'm
mense interest to thousands of prop
erty owners was brought to public at
tention Inst week. This section i'm
poses fine OF not more than $4,000
or prison sentence of not more than
two years on the owners of property
upon which are displayed signs or
posters advertising liquors which are
intoxicating.

Politics, especially in Il presidential
election year. seizes on nearly every
thing for its own uses. and that is the
fate that has befallen Admiral Sims
scathing criticism of the navy depart
Inent and its chief. Secretary Daniels.
1t is being treated as a partisan mat
ter by the senate, whose naval affairs
committee has 1T in hand. The Repub-
licans-eScepting Senator Borah--are
supporting the admiral, and the Demo-
Gratis by the same token have rallied
to the defense Of Daniels. The most
sensational charge made by Sims was
that ON his departure for England a
! high official of the department said to
him: Don't let the British pull the
wool over your eyes. 1t is none Of our
business pulling their thestnuts out Of
! the fire. We would as. soon hght the
British as the Germans"
Secretary Daniels fatty denies hav-
: ing said this or anything like it, and
the admiral said he would tell only. the
committee the name of the man who
did. More Important was the general
charge that Sims never was given
whole-hearted and efficient support by
the department in the prosecution OF
the war at sea. and that the cost OF
Daniels policy, or lack. Of policy, was
the loss of many lives and much shin
ping. All of this was contained In a
letter from Admiral Sims to the de-
partment. which the admiral made pub
lie at the demand of the senate sub
committee investigating the matter Of
naval decoration awards. The whole
scandal will be given thorough air
ing and the Republicans will not
overlook the additional material It may
give them for the campaign.

The long awaited demand on Hol-
land for the surrender of the former
German emperor was dispatched by
the allies, and near the end of the
week the reply was received by the
supreme council Though at this time
the reply had not been made public, it
was generally understood that in 1t
Holland refused to give up the refugee
for trial, considering that this is her
international duty and bearing in mind
the fact that the Dutch constitution
forbids extradition. The Dutch press
denies that feelings of sympathy or
antipathy have anything to do with the
course adopted by the government II
the sanctity of Williams refuge is to
be preserved one wonders how Lloyd
George can carry out his prediction

possibility of trying and condemning
him by default has been considered.

UNITED STATES AND CANADA TO ERECT
 HUGE PEACE ARCH

BLAINE, Wash, Feb. (by Associ- ated Press) The erection of huge memorial arch on the international boundary here, to commemorate the century of peace between Canada and the United States, is being urged by good roads men of Washington and British Columbia.
 Tentative plans call for the erection of the arch in big park to be estab- lished on the Pacific highway on both sides of the boundary The city of Blaine is willing to purchase the American share of the park if the British Columbia parliament will buy the Canadian side.
 Samuel Hill of Seattle, president of the Pacific Highway Association, is leading the movement for the arch. Recently MT. Hill and several Wash ington and British Columbia good roads men asked Premier John O1-i yer of British Columbia to aid in promoting the project. Mr. Oliver promised to consider the matter.

very we'll. The war also increased the importance of the industry. The con- sumption of margarine instead of but ter, for instance, increased rapidly The demand soon exceeded the SUD- ply, and margarine was rationed. Oil cake for cattle food, glycerin for ex- plosives, castor oil for airplane en- zine fabrication, also increased the calls on the industry.
 Where Germany and the Neither lands formerly crushed British West African oil, England now has taken over that process. Hull has become the largest vegetable oil center in Europe. Production in England of palm-kernel and ground-nut oils has occupied and the margarine output has increased to 5000 tons a week. The industry appears to be firmly established.

THE END OF THE STORM

Lawyers are always appreciative of effective figures of speech. One which struck us as being very effective, and in which the analogies are as logical as they are encouraging, appeared in 2 recent editorial in the St. Louis Globe-Democrat We quote:
 "A great storm does not cmoe to an end instantly After the thunders cease, and even after the winds are stilled, the waves continue to beat the shores furiously. It is so with the great conflicts among men. The thun- ders of colossal war stopped on Nov Il, 1918, but the surge of the forces it had created could not be checked by an armistice. The year just closed lss been a trying one for mankind The normal processes of civilization had been violently disturbed. New oas whirlpOols The blackness of night had lifted, but heavy clouds re- nained. The winds still blew in un- certain and conflicting directions Equilibrium was lost and action and reaction battled for it's restoration. But every storm must have it's end; every tempest must subside. Equili- brium is the normal state of nature, and whenever and however it is dis turbed, the balancing forces surely rally for it's re-establishment and in- evitably the calm succeeds.
 Slowly, gradually, but with abso- 1ute certainty, the equilibrium of man. kind is being restored It is not easy to realize this when we look abroad upon the world today, for unrest is still manifest, and we are yet beWil- deerd by the conditions and the prob- lens that we face. But if we look back a year we can see that progress had been made toward subsistence of the waves. Conditions are still con- fused and complicated, but chaos no longer reigns. The elements and the powers of order are becoming again dominant. Definite form is begin hing to emerge. Great problems are approaching solution. Anarchy is consuming itself. Physical necessi- ties are compelling the return of sta. bility, the increase of labor, and the dissipation of Authorizations. Work the panacea of all ills, is applying it's balm to the wounds of war. The griefs and hates are being softened by the soothing hands of time Slowly, haltingly, with difficulty but surely, humanity is finding the solid ground of Ararat."

MORE CREDIT-LESS GOODS

It is the view of the Federal Re serve board that the need of Europe is for long credits, and that the situ- ation, therefore, is one which appeals to the investment market. Many of the problems which now confront European countries are present in an acute form in this country, and there is a great need for larger produc- ton, reduced consumption, more econ omv and thrift. The liquid wealth of the world as represented by goods and commodities has been reduced to an alarming extent by reason of the war. and the volume of credit through ont the world is out of all proportion te the volume of goods. In order to bring about more normal conditions it will be necessary to restore the proper balance between credits and goods. This process will necessarily be a slow one. but it is essential that a be- ginning should be made and the res toration can be made only by rigid application of the principle of work and save.-W. P. G. Harding, governor of the Federal Reserve board, in The Nations Business.

A WELL REGULATED CAMP

1t was the privilege of the Editor
to visit the camp of the construction
crew of the Mountain States Tele-
phone Co. one day last week, and
our visit revealed to US a real sur
prise. The camp is located near the
Canning Factory and is composed
of several bunk tents and large
Cook tent or kitchen and dining ap-
of the camp was that of a first
class, well regulated army camp. The
grounds about the camp are kept
perfectly clean and sprinkled and
everything is as neat and clean as
the best regulated army camp. On
entering the cook tent we were con-
fronted with the neatest and best
regulated cooking department of the
kind we have ever seen-electric
lighted, water piped in convenient
places, drain tables for dishwashing
work tables supremely clean and
white. all kinds of cooking utensils
hanging up in order. a dinner table
set for Is men that certainly looked
inviting to hungry editor. We were
invited to stay for dinner but the
hour being a little early we declined
by taking a big fat chunk of custard
pie that demonstrated the ability of
the cooks
If the service OF the Mountain
States Telephone Co., after the re-
construction of the system is finished
is up to the high standard of this
camp, there will be no complaint on
the part of the patrons of the line.
