To the Editor of the Free Trader
journal;
Recently in the daily press appeared
the report that Prince Joachim Al
brecht of Germany was hailed into
court as an ordinary criminal defend
ant and tried on the charge Of assault.
The case was unique, inasmuch as X
was the first time in 800 years that
It member Of he HOhcuZolern dy-
nas,y had been required to face d
criminal charge in a criminal mill OF
justice. The members Of the royal
family before the war, it seems, We're
above the law. They put up the blum
that the king and the prince could do
no wrong and they got away with it.
The Indications are that an attempt
is being made 10 make Germany sale
for democracy
In Ottawa there exists a bipartisan
political machine that resembles the
late Hohenzollern dynasty, It Il
above the law. Its leaders Tut mp the
blum that they can do no wrong and
get away with i. right here in the
supposed democratic capital OF La
Sale county.
Every individual that participated
in the brutal street fight in this city
on the night OF April 10, Ct course,
should have been arrested convicted
OF assault and subjected to at least a
heavy fine. But In Difference to tn,
bipartisan political machine no legal
action is taken and the Offenders go
scCtt lree and laugh at the law, tt
hooks very much like Ottawa had been
made safe for autOCracy.
Is it possible that the fires Of rue
democracy and Justice are barnnG so
low in this old town that tho principle
expressed in equal rights to all and
special privileges to none is regard
ed az a joke by citizens In authority
and that we have built up political
dynasty here hat resembles the Old
1fohcn2OIlCrn system?

ior of the White House leading to the
east portico, the crowd on the terrace
below broke into applause and joined in
the singing of America"
Mrs. Wilson and members of the fam
lily stood about the president while the
crowd sang. With an overcoat buttoned
closely about him and soft hat shad-
ing his face, the president sat silent,
watching the throng below. There was
more cheering as the song ended.
A soloist sang Garry Me Back to Old

shouted by turns while a half dozen
bands pieced in with patriotic airs, old
time favorites and jazz.

bers of both parties, has busted itself

force Peace, shows that this question will
come before the assembly on the recon-

suggests that this commission consist of
representatives nominated by the coun-
tries entitled to permanent membership
in the council with the addition of repre-
sentatiyes of four other members of the
league selected by the assembly, for the
purpose of studying the problem and set
ting the general plan Of action, the Or
ganization of the more permanent ma
chinery required and the principles on
which it should work.
Of Interest to America.
This question is of peculiar interest to
the United States because one Of the
first problems such commission would
consider promises to be the method of
rendering a blockade effective against
states which are not members of the
league. In report adopted by the coun-
Gil of the league at the San Sebastian
meeting in August, Nj. Tittoni, the Italian
representative, stated: lit should be

Mr. Harding also told his friends-and
neighbors that he had come through the
fight t''without an apology or regfts,
and that he weuld rather not have the
presidency than TO win it 'by speaking

In q parade past the Harding resi-
dence there were many special features.
One group carried a dummy corpse sill
houetted against a red-firc background
and labelled ''The League of Nations" ;"
1t was from the latter tableaux that
the president elect took the cue for the
leading thought of his speech. His
reference to it started a laugh and then
he said:
Says League Deceased"
II didn't see as much sorrow in your
faces as I had apprehended. It's not
that you or I question the desire Of
America to play its part; it's not that
we question the high ideals of those who
were responsible for the Versailles cove
nant. You just did not want a surren
der of the United States of America; !;
you wanted America to 60 on under
American ideals. That's why you didn't
care for the league, which is now de-
ceased.
America is playing a great part now.
