Gov almost unanimously opposed as being more expensive of operation and less flexible of management There is a very pronounced opposition against government regulation of routes and rates. The sale of ships now owned by the government is favored, also the proposition that the government ab- sorb the difference between the cost and the present value of the shipping
 The vote stood 1878 to 93 for a gen. eral declaration on the part of con- gress of a policy of giving aid toward maintaining a privately owned and op- erated American merchant marine. We formerly had a merchant marine of which we were justly proud. There is no reason why we may not again have such a one But it will speedily develop that the American people are against subsidies. There is only one way in which the government can give support to the merchant marine and that is by the policy which was formerly pursued, discriminating du- ties. .-~.
 We believe that the American peo- pie favor such a policy. Goods i'm ported in foreign ships should pay higher duty than those imported in American ships. That will solve the difficulty. It will give our ships such a preference that they will be able to secure cargoes in competition with foreign ships. It may be that some of our shipping laws need revision, but the first step should be an adop- ton of law providing for discrimi- hating duties and the abrogation of all treaties inconsistent with such policy. Let us have an American mer chant marine.

BREAKING THE HEART OF THE
 WORLD

President Wilson has been very in- sistent upon the passage of the treaty of peace without modification or reser. vation, and has insisted that the fail ure of the United States senate to ratify it as presented would 'sbreak the heart of the world.' There has been more than suspicion in the minds of a majority of the people of this country that he was in more dan ger of being heartbroken over the fail are of his pretentious program. to rev olutionize the world than was the world itself. He insisted that Europe demanded that the treaty be ratified without change, and that any modifica- tion, whether in the form of amend nent or of reservation would endan- ger it. But it appears that the suspi- eion that he was speaking twice for himself and once only for the world" was we'll founded. This is what Sir George Paish, British economist and statesman, has to say regarding our ratification of the peace treaty: ~
 Whatever America wants will be acceptable to Europe If America feels that certain reservations to the treaty of Versailles are necessary, that is Americas business, and no ally na- tion has any wish to dictate. Nor have l discovered any hostility to res ervations on the part of statesmen and fnanciers who count.
 NO; Europe understands America quiie we'll enough to perceive that there is nothing hurtful to Europe in the present treaty situation based on the demand for reservations.
 ."1t is, however, essential to the wei fare of the whole world that America ratify the treaty as swiftly as may be. l am not, if you please, offering my opinion. I am assuming to convey in few words what I have found Euro pean sentiment to be- That is, let America ratify in any manner she wishes to-. We merely pray that her assent will soon be recorded"
 It, therefore, appears that the one who is guilty of breaking the heart of the world is not the United States senate, in it's patriotic stand to pre- serve our national independence, but MT. Wilson himself, in his endeavor to have his own way or wreck the treaty. What "the world" wants, and what the United States senate, but for MT. Wilson's interference and attempt at dominance, would have granted, is ratification of the treaty, with or with cut reservations. The main thing is peace, formally declared, and not any msistence upon carrying out MT. Will sons program. The terms on which we are willing to ratify the treaty and enter into the League of Nations are, as Sir George so we'll and truly says, "America's business" It is not Wood row Wilson's business unless he is in accord with public sentiment in this country. Public sentiment has been very clearly expressed at the polls, and the United States senate is sim ply carrying out the mandate of the people when it insists upon reserva- tions
 It is time for Mr. Wilson to cease his obstructive policy, allow the "as- sent" of the country through it's mouth piece, the senate, to be ''soon record ed" and to cease from his willful "breaking the heart of the world"

EVENTS OF 1919
PASSED IN REVIEW
World Found Great Difficulty in
Returning From War to
Peace Conditions.
MAKING The GERMAN TREATY
Europe in State Of Ferment, While
the United States Was Struggling
With Grave Industrial and Eco
nomc Problems.
BY DONALD r. BlGGS.

After nearly five years of frightfEl
warfare, in which all of the great pow
ers and many Of the smaller nations
had been involved, the world found IL
difficult to return to anything like nor
NAL conditions during the year 1913.
While the armistice which was signed
In the closing weeks of 1918 brought
p cessation OF hOstilities between the
two groups of nations that had been
engaged In the great struggle. 1t did
not bring peace to all the peoples In
volved. Technically the world still
was at war throughout practically all
OF the year just closed as the peace
treaty which was framed I'm Paris
after months of negotiation could not
be made fully effective until ratihed
by the great powers and formally pro-
mulgated by the peace conference.
Failure of the United States senate to
ratify the treaty, because of opposition
to the covenant of the League OF Ma
tons. which was made part Of the
peace treaty, prevented the formal
declaration of peace until more than
a year after the armistice Was signed.
Internal disorders and territorial
disputes arising from the establish
ment of many new nations kept
large part of Europe In turmoil. Such
a complete remaking Of the map of
Europe as resulted from the great war
naturally could not be accomplished
without friction. The great empire OF
Austria-Hungary had fallen to pieces
with the defeat of the central powers
and out of the wreckage new states
arose. These new nations-Austria.
'Hungary, Poland and the Czech AND
Jugbslav states-cauldS not -estaDhsh
their new boundaries without friction
among themselves and with their
nelghbors. The new government OF
Germany, which had been transformed
into a republic. was striving to main
tain itself against the attacks of radi-
cal elements. Russia was torn by
civil strife, with half n dozen groups
fighting for the mastery. At times
world peace seemed still far of. but as
the year passed conditions became
more settled and Il seemed probable
that with the formal PRONUNCIATION OF
the peace treaty the chaos into which
Europe had been thrown would pass
In the United States conditions were
not so unsettled as in the nations tina
had been longer engaged in the war
hut here. as In Europe. the transition
from war to peace basis was no
e:gy. New INDUSTRIAL problem, irn'
been created. Tie high cost of livin'
caused labor TO make insistent and re
peated demands for higher wages ant
resulted In numerous strikes anon
all classes of workers. Radical lead
ers took advantage of the unrest tina
existed to recruit their forces an
they became so active that the cor
stituted authorities of the natio
finally found 1t necessary to take dt
termlned steps to suppress disloyi
propaganda.
