SAYS LEAGUE WILL LIVE.

The Westminster Gazette, rep
rcsenting Independent Liberalism
and that section Of British though,
most strongly in favor of the League
Of Nations, had an editorial recent
~ from which We take the follow
ing excerpt:
1T was not for nothing that Pres
ident Wilson went to Versailles.
He succeeded in imposing his idea
on Europe. but did not succeed
n imposing ii upon America. SO
Europe remains with the American
Covenant and the beneficiently am
bilious project Of settling the whole
world through the League Of Ma
tons. while America refuses TO
sign the treaty which contains the
Covenant. Nevertheless. We arc
grateful to President Wilson, and
tho his idea is temporarily reject
ed by his own people We can still
salute him as one who set up Il land
mark in history which will not be
removed. The League of Nations
without America is very impcr-
feet institution, but the task of the
League is an imperative world
task, and VIC are confident the A.
,mcrican people will not for long re-
main out Of it,"

the PRlNTlss BUSINESS.

/
As prices Of some commodities
have declined Of late. and some
other drops are expected. the i'm
preston has gone abroad that
everything is coming down to the
old level. This is far from the fact.
The future undoubtedly will see
advances as we'll as declines, for
This is period Of rcadjustment lin
! which fair prices will be sought.
rather than of general reduction.
In the printing trade there arc
no signs Of any reduction. and the
old level will be restored either in
cities or small towns. The pro-
duction OF nearly all kinds of paper
is behind the demand now. and the
trade estimates that consumption
is five pounds for every four
lpOundS manufactured in the Unit
cd States. No increase in the sup
ply from imports seems probable
for several years. Latest price
lists quote The highest figures ever
known. which generally are 300
per cent OF The prc-war prices.
The logic CT the situation requires
that prices in the country towns
be maintained permanently above
the old tim" level. for the preserva-
ton of the business. Some twenty
years ago the printing trade in
both cities and Misunderstanding
from consideration the mctropoli-
tan ncwSpaperS-waS in most de-
plorablc condition. Only few
concerns with special advantages
OF some kind were earning inter
est on their investment. II was
nip and tuck with them to keep
alive.
In tho country towns the 1itua-
ton was even worse. Do you re-
member the numerous jokes about
the country editor? How he had
to take wood. potatoes, butter, tur-
nips or any other produce in pay
ment of his bills? Those jokes
were realities for the man in the
business, and his compensation
was the lowest and the most pre-
carious Of any in the country. He
occupied small shack for shop
and office, lived in rented cottage
had 10 scrapc and beg to get cash
TO pay wholesale bills and when he
died lodge buried him.
At the same time the merchant
sold his wares for cash. the banker
collected his interest, the lawyer
received his fees and all of them
lived in the big houses of the town.
they had their vacations and went
TO the mountains or the seashorc,
or their children finished high
school and proceeded off to col
lege. The farmers built large barns
and modern houses and bought the
latest and most expensive niachin-
cry. And not one of the men of
these classes put in AS many hours
year Of hard exacting. nerve con-
suming work as did the conscicn.
tious country editor doing q COM
paratively large business in his line
Some twenty years ago the .print-
ers in the large cities found away
out OF their distress through the es-
Establishment Of cost systems and the
formation Of associations which
raised prices to the point where
the business could live and prosper
In the small towns practically
nothing was done to improve con-
dltions until it was forced by the
war. II was a case Of meet the facts
or quit, and those who have stay-
ed in the business have put IN
prices and now believe they arc en-
Titled to maintain them at level
where they will not fall into the old
poverty.

prove of the purpose to be served or
the methods to be followed in the com

accept the committees invitation to
be represented.
The embassy's reply, addressed to
Oswald Garrison Willard. editor of the
Nation. who appointed the committee,
declared the only outcome of the in
quiry would be the spread of propa-
ganda and that there was nothing in
the composition of the committee
itself to remove from it the idea that
it was not impartial or prejudiced in
advance.
Hearings Of the Irish question,

to questions as to who will be in Hard
ing's official family, and he is inclined
to believe the board knows as much
about these all important inquiries as
anyone else, except Harding himself.
With a group of congressmer
around the board, Little claims that
the question was asked:
WHO will be secretary of state?"
The little triangular table moved
over the board and spelled out tht
word Lodge" In a similar manner
it picked Wood for secretary of war
But when the board was asked for the
new secretary of labor, it failed tc
spell any name.

Premier VenizelOs of Greece
Won't Reconsider Resignation.
Greek Army Still Loyal, May
Establish New Republic.

Athens, Nov. 1.-THE resignation
of Premier Venizelos has been made
public. The majority leaders speak
of the restoration of former King
Constantine as an accomplished fact.
Queen Mother Olga, of Greece, will
probably assume the regency today,
it was learned here this forenoon.
(The queen mother is the widow of
the late King George. who was assas-
siuated at Saloniki in 1916. Admiral
Coundouriotis is the present regent)
There are rumors that 1t is possible
the Greek army, which is supposed
to be loyal to former Premier Veni-
ze1os, may create the republic of
Smyrna in Asia Minor.
The present regency of Admiral
Coundouriotis has been recognized by
the opposition. 1t is probable the
cabinet selected by the leaders of the
dominant party in Greece will hold
office temporarily until a plebiscite
is held at which the people will vote
upon the return of former King Con-
stantine.
1t is also believed the opposition
will make efforts to determine the
views of the outside world relative 70
