and the practical we'll as the ideastic value OF

That even without formal pledge such would be

The Leagues Friends Aboard.

Comments by the European press on the out
come of the recent election vary quite as much as
they do in this country according to the predispos-
tion OF the commentators toward the league. But
that there is anything indicating general dispos-
ton to set aside the organization already in exist
ence and functioning and to organize dc novo, can
not be said. In theory, at least, there is still
disposition to use what already exists, to modify
it in the light OF its proved defects and in response
to any reasonable amount of amendment that the
United States may desire, and to proceed with the
execution OF processes OF territorial adjustment and
reparation, Nations continue to nominate their
delegates to sit in the coming conference in Geneva
and governments announce policies that are based
on the supposition that the league has come to
stay. Thus Hollands ministry has just defined
policy of military retrenchment on the explicit
ground that the league makes disarmament pos
sble; and the British house of commons has just
formally indorsed approval of limitation OF the
hours OF labor recommended by the leagues bu-
OF labor desirable in certain vocations
The logic of events and the laws of psychology
are against the demand that the league be sent to
the junk heap rather than to the repair shop. The
memories of what it cost in the way OF combat and
OF compromise to build the present structure and
of the time it took still vivid; and they are
kept SO by the conditions of the world and by the
perils that lie ahead during winter that some OBJ
SERVERS say VIII De the worst OF all since 1913 In
scarcity Of food and sweep OF disease The rela-
tions between of the governments that agreed
in making the present league have become so
strained that were they to be asked to draft an
other compact they would refuse. Moreover en-
phasiS by the United States its natonalism held
in an extreme form, ncites a similar feeling among
those who must be negotiated with if there is to
be new compact Indeed. it may be questioned
whether even the proposition to increase the scope
and fix more formly the status of international
court has not been imperiled already by the dis
closure OF possible insistence domination of
any international association league.
These facts. of course, will be present in the
thoughts of such persons Mr.. Harding is to call
in to advise him when he returns from his outing in

Engineers and Labor.

Of course, If the ambitious and wholly admir-
able plans of the professional engineers of the
country to shape national industrial, political and
social development work out as planned, then there
must be modus vivend established with organ
lied labor as well as with federated capital and
government officials.
That there is abundant evidence already in the
possession OF engineers, with headquarters in New
York, of the need of both employers and workmen
rising to higher conception of social service the
astounding revelations now being made as to con-
ditions in the building trade in that city prove be-
yond doubt Some of the most valuable witnesses
for the peoples side of the case have been men
with standing in the engineering professions who
have had to see the process of mulcting the public
go on, and keep silent under the reign of terrorism
which has existed in the building trade.
The social responsibility of the educated trained
engineer with his of intellectual methods that
permit no distortion of facts, is very great The
war has educated the American people to very
much higher rating of the value Of the man of
science as citizen who admirably when
and where the ordinary layman fails. The engineer
has the confidence of the employing class pretty
well established II he ean win the group that is
known the workers to similar measure of con-
hdencc he then will be in position to do splen-

steps toward this rapprochement will be found in
imitation of the tactics of the American Society of
Mechanical Engineers toward the Federation of
Labor.
