RESULT OF LABOR RULE.

A Labor government i'm Great Brit
ain would probably do several things
which America would like-and, con-
trary to the impression industriousy
and dishonesty spread from some quar-
ters, this would be no mean recommended
tion for IL in the minds of the average
British cIector. As the very British
Spectator" said, in speaking of the pro-
vocative Wilson Note on the Adriatic:
"The chief things TO bear in mind are,
first, that we must not on any account
quarrel with America . and, secondly
that there are no real causes of estrange-
ment between the American people and
the British people"
One Of these Labor policies which we
would welcome would be a complete end
TO all talk of a dangerous and costly
democracies in warship building. The
British workingman viii never tax HIM
self 20 build battloships 10 bring ON his
country and on himself the unspeakable
calamity of n war with America. Another
feature of a Labor Cabinet in London
would probably be a policy toward 'thc
white man S burden sections OF the British
Empire in which We would have entire
confidence We could never fear that the
Labor men were exploiting feeble ma
ton for oil or adding TO their Empire
through sheer misguided ambition
additions they would have 10 spend gold
and blood to police and protect.-phila-

If THE TREATY FAILS.

II the Treaty fails at Washington the
news will fall upon Europe already in
a state of acute nervous tension, a Europe
yielding TO its pre-war ambitions, lealousies
suspicious, oxasperations. The result OF
America detection can be only one. It
will strengthen militarlsm, Imperialism
the old diplomatic game of secret treaties
and alliances and balances of power
There Is much point in the French retort
TO the Presidents charge. If the mili-
tarist party is winning control il is be-
cause the guarantees which America offere
ed as substitute for the rule of force have
broken down.
This is the great issue. This is the
consideration which has impelled Ameri-
can public opinion TO plead with Mr.. VIII
son TO rise above personal feeling, above
personal opinion even, TO the necessity of
the hour. Lodge and his associates
may have done their best 10 lame the
League 1t is Mr.. Wilson's duty TO pre-
vent complete shipwreck. Lodge has
played small politics. The country looks
10 Mr.. Wilson for the big gesture So good
a supporter of the President as the World
told MIR. Wilson yesterday that his position
on the question of principle IS unassail-
able, but that his position on the question
of expediency, which is something that
every statesman is obliged TO consider,
is weak and untenable.
Granted that Lodge and his follower $
set out 10 destroy the Treaty, why should
Mr.. Wilson make himself their accompiice

PRESS COMMENTS.
FARMERS TO THE RESCUE.

America owes NIL to the farmer, and the
man with the hoe is the one man who has
the persistency and the loyalty to the
needs Of the nation to work without
tagging for the interest and advantage Of
all other classes. Secretary Meredith in his
address before the Merchants Association
of New York laid emphasis, and deserved
emphasis, upon this fact. He points out
that the farm workers have increased in
numbers from 5000, 900 in 1870 to I3,70O, :
600 in 1919, and the production of each
farm worker IN terms OF leading cereals
also has increased In the period from 1856
TO 1874 each farm worker produced an
average of 266 bushels annually. In the
period from 1906 to 1914 the average Of
406 bushels, while in the five years, 1915
to 1919, the average production per farm
worker was AIS bushels.
He adds that during the war the farmer
increased his planted acreage, despite
labor scarcity. During the war, in spite
of the labor shortage, the farmers increas-
ed their planted acreage by 30, 100000
acres, and their yield by 635 900, 900 bush
els over the average for the pre-war period" ;"
Is there a brighter showing anywhcre2
Why are the men who work in mines or
upon the roads or in the shops worthy of
special consideration when the farmer,
rising above all other considerations makes
it his aim to supply the population with
food. This is not alone his task but his
ideal. Let him be heard and needed and
the mouths Of the rampant and idleness-
melting industrial elements he shut with
shamel Why cannot all labor with com
mon aim and apart from agitation?

Law Should Be EnfO reed.
There arc Observation-Disclosures that

There are Observation-Disclosures that the
government will encounter much diff
Guilty in enforcing compliance with tho
| Prohibition Amendment to the Constitu-
tion, and especially in administering the
Volstead law, enacted for the purpose
of making the amendment effective. Many
provisions of this law are so drastic as
to be very obnoxious, and Of a character
to incite natural spirit of resistance by
those against whom they may be directed
severely.
But laws are enacted with the specific,
and also very important, purpose that
they shall be enforced To allow a law to
be floutcd is to permit it to fall into con-
tempt and become imperative. And
l>flouting of one law is an infectious
example. sure to extend to other laws.
Thus, if encouraged, this practice would
soon result in notification of law.
As long as law remains on the statute
book, il should be enforced, even though
it should prove obnoxious or oppressive.
The same authority that enacts a law
may repeal it, in an orderly and lawful
manner. And no obnoxious or oppressive
law will long remain in force. The way
to lawful repeal is open.
OF course, there is more than one way
to go about enforcing law. The pro-
cess may be reasonable, and still effective,
or il may be conducted in a manner even
moro obnoxious than the law itself This
is matter which should be treated with
great circumspection by those whose
duty it is to enforce law.

"Modern street-clcaning equipment,
thorough system. and scientific direction
are the three things needed to eliminate
the unsanitary conditions existing IN the
streets of Philadelphia" So declared DIR.
c. Lincoln Furbish, director of public
health in that city, Saturday morning,
after thorough inspection.
That this advice applies to Wilmington
standardized. Our streets have been much
dirtier than usual this winter, and the
necessity for thorough cleansing is APP
parent in all directions.
The recommendation of modern street.
cleaning equipment is strongly appli-
cable to our city. Many citizens cannot
understand why the Street and Sewer
Directors have not discarded the open
carts, drawn by horses. employed for
street cleaning and the collection Of ashes
and refuse, which allow contents to bc
scattered by dropping after being gather
ed in the carts, and employed modern
motor-driven vehicles, especially adapted
to this work. The recent demand Tor
higher prices for the work performed by
these archaic implements ought to prove
an incentive to the speedy introduction oil
a reform in methods.
The Street and Sewer Department has
been hampered for years by lack of suf-
fcient appropriations TO fairly meet the
demands upon its services. But that the
directors could have saved money, as well
as insured better service, by introducing
motor power vehicles is altogether prob

The German Emeute.

While il is not yet possible to estimate
the extent and probabilities of the sudden
monarchial uprising in Germany, on Sat-
urday. it is known that it proved sue
cessful to an extent that has spread IN
easiness throughout the governments Of
the allied nations. President Ebert and
his cabinet felt impelled to fee TO Stutt-
CART, where they will establish a form of
administration. but the militarists are IN
power at Berlin, and threaten TO hold
W het they have gained.
II has been intimated that the ostenstble
purpose of the revolutionists is TO elect
Hindenburg President of the German Re-
public, but ii is believed their real pur-
pose is TO re-establish the monarchy, with
the Kaiser or one of his sons on the throne.
This is one of the results, and the most
serious. Of the deadly dalliance of our SEN
ate with the Treaty of Peace and the
League of Nations. With the League
formd, and Germany admitted 10 mem
bership. the emeute of Saturday last
that overthrew the Ebert government,
which for awhile had the promise of
stability and good work, would not have
occurred. The mischief has been done.
What may be done to undo it is the prob
lem now at hand.

CANADA SERVES NOTICE EONLODGE

The word-m ongering and phrase
making at Washington have spread into
| Canada like -contaglon, and the D0min-
ION House of Commons IN painfully In
terpreting Senator Lodges interpreta-
tion Of that clause of the League covenant
which gives Great Britain and its depen-
denotes six votes
As the President of the Privy Council
views the matter, the reservation adopted
by the United States Senate does more
than deprive Canada OF vote In the League
when some portion OF the British Empire
is in disagreement with the United States
principle which applies to all members
engaged In disputes and to which he
offers no objection. What he condemns is
the apparent denial that Canada is a ma
ton and the purpose of certain United
States Senators to relegate it to its former
colonial status.
Many questions were asked and some
statements made in the course of the de-
bate showing that the fatal verbal dis
temper was becoming rather violent,
but the spokesman for the government
proclaimed himself an irreconcilable, with
no disposition to quibble or parley. If the
United States is to ratify the peace treaty
on any condition impairing the indepen-
dence of Canada, he said that country, al
ready signatory, will refuse its assent,
and if through any influence Great Britain
should fall in with such a proposition,
Canada would withdraw from the League
at once.
Here we have an ultimatum for London
no less than for Washington, and there is
a great deal of reason behind it. Canada
has earned its place in the world and, un-
like the Senatorial representatives of IFS
powerful neighb0r, is not afraid to assume
the attendant responsibilities. In beginning
its career as a nation by challenging both
the United States and Great Britain, it
has set a smart pace for itself.-New
