THE RESPONSIBILITY.

While the president was absent from
the peace table, Paris dispatches car
ried the statement that the commission
| had decided to separate the league from
| the treaty, to which the American coiE
Imissioners did not dissent. Upon thu
arrival Of the president this decision
was vetoed by him.-Hon. Simon d
Tess.
There appears to be no question OF
doubt in regard to the action of the
president in this matter. In fact. be
fore he returned to Paris he announced
in public speech in New York City
that the peace treaty and the League
OF Nations covenant would be 50 in:er
woven that they could not be separ
ated.
MI. Wilson evidently feared that tn,
league covenant would not be ratitirt
Just as he wanted it unless it were
made Il part of the treaty and in order
to force the senate to endorse features
to which it was opposed, he insisted
upon combining the two
Had the peace treaty been kept sep
arate, as was proposed by the peace
conference in Mr.. Wilson'S absence
there is not shadow of a donbc bu;
that the treaty proper would have been
ratified long ago. There has developed
very little opposition in the senate o,
anywhere else in this country to tati-
tication of the treaty, practically all of
the opposition being directed at Ger
tain features Of the league covenant.
These being the facts, the president
alone is responsible for the long delay

and all the attacks made upon the sen
ate because of it's dilatOry methods III
regard to ratification Of the combined
document cannot relieve Mr.. Wilson of
the responsibility that is his.

FIGHT IT OFT.

According to Washington dispatches
the 100000 railroad men threatening
ito strike are demanding increases in
pay that will aggregate S2.O00,OOO, 600
annually. That means an average in
crease of $1,000 to the man. AS there
are about. 20,O00,0O0 families in the
United States this increase. if granted.
will cost the average family 500 Il
year. But nothing will be settled In
IL short time other railroad employees
will demand more pay. This will put
another burden upon the people. Then
workmen in other industries will strike
and more wages will have to be paid.
The profitcei' will also push up prices
and the square dealer will be compelled
to do likewise. Really, the outlook is
most diScouraging. For itself, the
would like to see the
government fight this demand of the
railroad men to Il finish. If they are
fairly entitled to an increase, give it
to them. But it is time to resist these
everlasting hOld-ups. The fight to a
finish may as well come now as later
on. The rest of the people can get
along on starvation A'ati0ns as well as
can the railroad men who voluntarily
quit their jobs. Fight i: out and if the
government is impotent to function to
the extent of being able to operate Il
great industrial enterprise that it has
taken over. let that fact be established.

fully and completely by Mr.. Lansing

that meetings of the cabinet were
imperative to consider pressing mat
tiers and that other cabinet members
held that meetings should be called
