Dispatches from Warsaw made it
plain that Poland was about to &C.
cept the peace offer of the soviet gov
eminent of Russia provided guaran-
tees were given that bOlshevist prop
uganda in Poland and other European
states would cease. Polands aim,
says Prince LubOmirski, minister to
the United States, is to serve as a
peaceful and moral bulwark against
bolshevism, and for this she must
have the economic support of the al
lies.
By the -EsthOnian peace
treaty the soviet government re-
nounces all sovereignty over Es-
thonia and recognizes it's independ-
ence. Both parties renounce claims
to compensation for war expendi-
lures. The treaty provides that pris-
oners will be repatriated shortly by
both. Russia is to pay Esthonia 49,
100000 rubles in gold. There are to
be no customs or transit charges on
goods by either country.
The soviet armies met with some
reverses last week, notably one in the
region of the Don where the best of
the bolshevik cavalry was routed by
the Russian volunteer forces. In gen
eral, however, the soviet forward
movement was continued on all fronts.
A local revolution in Vladivostok put
that city in the hands of the rebels.
In England and probably elsewhere
the opinion is gaining strength that
peace should be made with the Lenine
government because the return to
+ normal life in Russia will soon de-
i stroy bolshevism.

Business Of Criticism.

Its business is simply to know the
best that is known and thought in the
world, and, by in it's turn making this
known, to create "a current of true
and fresh ideas. It's business is to
do this with inflexible honesty, with
due ability; but it's business is to do
no more, and to leave alone all ques-
tons of practical consequences and
applications-questions which will
never fail to have due prominence
given to them.-Matthew Arnold.

AS matter of parliamentary pro-
cedure, the treaty now goes through
the entire course through which it
passed before it's rejection on NOvem-
Der 10, so any amendments are in Or
der. Senator Johnson hurried back
from the far West with the assertion
that he would push his amendment
giving the United States six votes in
the League of Nations, the same as
the British empire. This, Lord Grey
intimated, was preferable to the Len
root reservation, which sometimes
would bar the empire from voting at
all. Johnson and his supporters say
now that opponents of his plan will
find themselves in the position of be-
ing more British than the British"
In any event Lord Grey's letter has
justified, to the British and to many
Americans, this cOuntry's hesitancy to
enter the League of Nations without
full consideration and careful exam
inatiOn, since cit is so radical a de-
parture from our traditional policy.
It will go far toward restoring or
maintaining sympathetic relations be-
tween America and Great Britain, es-
pecially if we do finally enter the
league.

Sincerity,

Sincerity is the most compendious
wisdom, and an excellent instrument
for the speedy dispatch of business; it
inspires confidence in those we have
to deal with, saves the labor of many
inquiries, and brings things to an is
sue in few words; it is like travelling
in plain beaten road, which common
ly brings a man sooner to his jour-
ney's end than byways, in which men

living in America is due to shortage
of production no more than to the
greed of tie producers. For the
downward trend of foreign exchange
IS putting n stop to the export of
American products to Europe, and
those who should know agree that
this is almost certain to result in
decrease in prices in this country.
The European importers cannot af
ford to buy these products when ex-
change is so much against them, and
there will be q backing up in all
lines of goods. which will be thrown
on the American market This move
ment already is under way. Prices of
grains and other commodities declined
considerably last week, and in the
case of grains the drop was helped
on by the action of the railway ad
ministration which placed a ten-day
embargo on the use of freight cars
for the shipment of anything except
grain, wood pulp or sugar in the Mis-
sissippi valley states. This was done
to provide the farmers with cars with
which to send their crops to market,
relieving the artificial shortage and
releasing immense funds.

Secretary of the Navy Daniels ap-
peared before the senate subcOmmit-
tee investigating navy awards and re-
piled vigorously to the charges made
by Rear Admiral Sims and others.
He read a prepared statement in
which he took up point by point state
ments before the subcommittee by
Admiral Sims and dwelt at consider
able length on the two major dis
agreements voiced by the admiral
namely, the awarding Of decorations
to officers who lost their ships through
submarine attacks or by mines, and
the relative Importance Of shore and
sea duty. On the latter Mr.. Dan
iels said he had not and never would
approve a disparity between awards
given men who served on shore as
compared with the men who went to
sea-" Admiral Sims, he asserted,
probably advocated high awards for
many officers who served on staff duty
ashore and few awards for officers
who went to sea because most of
Admiral Sims duty in the navy has
been on shore"
Secretary Daniels declared there
was nothing the matter with the
morale Of the navy except a shortage
of enlisted men in many ratings and
insufficient pay for officers and men

The conference committee of the
senate and house reached a full agree
ment on railroad legislation, and it
seemed certain that the remOdeled
Esch- Cummins bill would soon be
reported to both houses and passed
before March 1. AS it now stands
the Cummins antistrike provision is
omitted but the Esch voluntary arbi-
tration plan is strengthened by the
creation Of board of appeals of five
members to be appointed by the pres
ident Public opinion will be relied
on to prevent strikes. The Cummins
section providing for an average re-
turn of 51a per cent remains but the
interstate commerce commission Is
given authority, after one and half
or two years, to change the percent
age. Earnings above 6 per cent are
to be divided equally between car
riers and a fund to be administered
by the commerce commission for the
benefit of weaker railroads. The
guaranteed standard return now in
effect is to be continued for six
months, the government paying the
deficit A revolving fund of 100000,
900 is established to make loans to
the railroads.

When Viscount Grey's letter to the
London Times, justffying the delay of
the senate in ratifying the peace
treaty and explaining to the British
the attitude of America toward world
affairs, was made public, it was at
once assumed that acceptance of the
pact by the senate, with the Lodge
reservations little modified, would
soon follow. Both sides admitted
that the Grey letter had knocked i'm
portant props from under the oppOsi-
ton to the Lodge program, in that it
made clear that Great Britain and,
presumably, the other allied powers
would welcome the adhesion of Amer
lea even with the reservations. The
informal committee Of the senate had
failed to reach a compromise and
Hitchcock had given notice that, he
would move to take up the treaty in
the open senate on February 10.
Lodge countered with the statement
that the Republicans would bring the
pact before the senate one day earlier.
AS the days passed with no comment
from the White House on the Grey
letter, however, hope for early ratifi-
cation faded, and toward the end of
the week it was widely reported in
Washington that the letter had an
gered the president and increased his
determination never to accept the
Lodge reservations or anything like
them. It was said Mr.. Wilson and
his firm adherents looked on Viscount
Grey's pronouncement as an unwar-
ranted attempt by the spokesman of
a foreign government to interfere in
the legislative affairs Of this country
Though it seemed the letter had per
suaded many Democrats that 1t was
best to accept the reservations, it was
admitted that the president could
still rally sufficient number to pre-
vent ratification.
