That Much Talked
 About Article X

77 OST of the controversy over the Ml League of Nations has cen tered around Article X. Republican spellbinders, with more enthusiasm for their party than knowledge of the subject, have pointed to this clause in inc league covenant as the source of danger to American sovereignty, the clause which will send "our boys" across the Atlantic to fight for first one European nation and then the other. Audiences have been reduced to tears by this dire prospect. No less a parsonage than Professor Taft has charged that President Wilson wrecked the league by insisting that Article X be retained, against, the judgment of Senator Lodge, Sena- tor Borah and other 'irreconcilables."
 The average voter has not read the much discussed Article X. Here it is:
 The members of the league un-
 dertake to respect and preserve as
 against external aggression the /
 territorial integrity and existing
 political independence of all mem-
 bers of the league. In case of any
 such aggression, or in case of any
 threat or danger of such aggres
 sion. the councihshall advise upon
 the means by which this obliga-
 ton shall be fulfilled.
 If the members of the league did not "undertake to respect and pre- serve as against external aggression the territorial integrity and existing political independence of all members" there would be no league. It could not hold together six months.
 But in the event that there is such aggression or threat of aggression, Article X provides that "the council shall advise upon the means by which this obligation shall be fulfilled" 1t is not stipulated that the United States, Great Britain or any other government must forthwith send its army or its navy to maintain peace. The council merely "adyises" and that is term susceptible of the widest in depreciation. If some member is found recalcitrant and will not listen to reason, the council may "advise" that an economic boycott be declared. In ninety-nine cases out of hundred that would settle the matter The most belligerent nation on earth, with the league functioning as a unit, would be throttled by an economic boy colt and brought to its senses.
 There would not be one chance in thousand of military pressure be- ing brought to bear. That could not be done except by unanimous consent and America could not send troops without the authority of Congress.
 If there had been League of Ma tions in 1914 the world war would never have been fought. The Kaiser took gamblers chance and lost. The league would not only have threshed out all matters in dispute, but it would have shown the misguided mad man who sat on the throne of the German empire who would oppose his ambitious plan to dominate the world If he had known that England and f~erica would declare war aalljpst

Senator Harding Will Not
 Accept Cox's Challenge

7T may be assumed that when Sena- ll tor Pat Harrison, head of the democratic speakers bureau, sent a challenge for Harding to debate the League of Nations with Cox, he was acting in good faith.
 Harry New, chairman of the re- publican speakers bureau, declared that he would not entertain a propo- sition so "utterly absurd"
 Harding is no match for the demo- cratic standard bearer. A man who straddles as Harding does would be no match for any one who stands firm on the outstanding issue of the cam- paign.
 A joint debate might add to the gaiety of nations, but the repub- licans are too smart to allow their nominee to founder in deep water.
 Senator Harding does not know what he believes regarding the League of Nations, further than that he is not fin favor of going in"

II al Estate News

also reveals something of this counter
bidding movement.
The building material market trends
upward and downward since the first
of the year were favorably impressed
with the attitude of the great steel in
tcrests in keeping their prices steady.
The fact is that the steel mills show
no indication at this time to change
their prices upward despite the fact
that they can operate as fully as pos
slb!e during the remainder of the year
and stlll have a comfortable backlog
running into 1921. BY the end OF the
next thirty days there ought to be con-
siderable shrinkage apparent in the
premium situation in this department,
and the prospects are that the change
will be downward.
The change in the building material
price situation is being felt in the
cement department. Although the in
quiries during August for cement have
been greater than ever known, exceed
ing the totals for March, April, Nav.
June and July combined, and at the
first of the month the cost Of electric
power in the Lchigh manufacturjnr
dlstrlct advanced y per cent, there
does not now seem to be much indica-
tlon that prices will be advanced above
the present level.

5 Per Cent; No Change

Basic building materials at the week
end developed their first definite post
war tendency to return to a buyers
market, according to The Dow Service
Daily Building Reports.
Hudson River common brick is listed
as having been sold as low as SIS a
thousand, wholesale, as the autumn
building season opened. The best
grades, which fortnight ago were
being held rigidly at S25, plus the
usual additional charge for handling,
haulage and IS per cent covering de-
livery to job, were topping $40 on
Saturday.
1t is significant that simultaneously
with the Introduction of counter
bidding, at first secret and later open.
some of the largest speculative apart
ment builders definitely decided to
start at once with the erection of huge
high-priced projects. The projectors
frankly stated that they had succeeded
in breaking through the building price
barrier in nearly every departm

became known that shading had actu-
ally occurred almost the entire market
settled down to open counter bidding
1t has been known for some time
that desirable quantity business offered
in the lumber department brought at
tractive concessions, and from that
point, which dates back to around the
first of August there have been signs
Of willingness on the part of certain
manufacturers to meet the others. The
momentum increased as the week drew
to a close, and there were indications
that this week will show noticeable
buying movement in such departments
particularly lumber, brick, lime and
plaster; also that there will be some
stimulation in the volume Of new work
going on architects boards for new
figures under the new market.
Cut in Rubber Covered Wire
An illustration is found in the cleo
covered wire has been slow to move out

hands. Whenever the market slumps
on steel conduit this condition exists
in the electric wire department be-
cause about three feet of electric wire
is used to every foot of steel conduit
When there is a slump in building
there is sure to follow closely slump
in the steel conduit business, and cleo
trio wire suffers accordingly. Recent
ly there has not only been slump in
the volume of building construction
but also in the delivery of steel con-
duit over the railroads. The result is
that the electric wire manufacturers
contemplated at the weekend to cut
the price of rubber-covered wire this
week, possibly per cent, in order to
induce prospective builders to antici-
pate their requirements for the immc-
diate future. The glass department
