But we should make every effort to
agree with our war associates upon
the terms of treaty equitably ending
the war with Germany by imposing
upon that nation a victors' peace
which will prevent for many years
resumption Of a war Of conquest by
Germany, and We should perform our
part faithfully and as long as the
necessity exists in enforcing the terms
of this treaty.
Thus the administration, avoiding
extremes, in stunning the rock Scylla

Reputation of the entire Versailles
treaty.
Uncle Sam cannot. for example,
agree to the league of nations item or
the Shantung item Of the Versailles
treaty; but if those and any other
hurtful and obnoxious provisions may
be omitted the expurgated Versailles
treaty is the natural world agreement
to end this war with just and endur.
ing peace. Such a peace can be Sc
cured only by the association and
agreement of the United States and of
the allied nations in the world war.
For this purpose a separate peace
treaty between the United States and
Germany will not suffice.

The Federation Fight.

Next Saturday the American Fedora.
ton of Labor. now in convention at
Denver, will ballot for president of
that organization. Samuel Gompers,
it's first president and continuously oc.
cupying that office since 1894, is a
candidate for reelection. Annually for
several years opposition to him has
developed, but at the conventions it
has disappeared, with the result of his
regular reelection. This year the Op.
position has become more pronounced,
and now John l.. Lewis, president of
the United Mine Workers, has an.
nounced his candidacy. Mr.. Gompers
has stated that his name will stand
before the convention to the end of
the balloting. The election takes place
next Saturday. During these next few
days the meeting at Denver will be
marked by the most active campaign.
ing that has been known in this or
ganiZation in many years.
The fight at Denver is, broadly, be-
tween the conservative and the radical
forces in organized labor. Lewis rep
resents an element that regards the
strike as the first and chief weapon of
labor. Gompers. though an advocate
of the strike as last resort, is by COM
parison moderate in his attitude.
There is also involved in this contest
an international element. Behind
Lewis are those who would have the
federation declare itself strongly in
behalf Of Ireland and institute a boy.
colt of British products. With these
Gompers has no sympathy. and his
supporters include, apart from domes-
tic labor questions, those who feel that
it is not the business of the federation
to mix into political matters or take
part in international controversies.
Dispatches from Denver indicate
that despite the great strength Of
Lewis own organization and affilia.
tons attributed as friendly to him.
Gompers at present commands the
support of a majority of the delegates
at the convention. The voting is to be
by representation. That is to say, a
few hundred men will cast several
thousand votes, in ratio to their organ
ization memberships. For instance, the
miners are entitled to 4.257 votes in
the convention, and these, it is claim
ed by Lewis supporters, will be
thrown to him solidly, though some
doubt has been cast upon the unanimity
of the miners. Lewis lieutenants are
asserting that he is assured of at least
20, 900 votes, and that his announce.
ment as a candidate is. therefore,
tantamount to his election. Equal
confidence is expressed by Gompers'
friends.
The public generally takes but little
interest in the outcome of this fight as
it affects the individuals involved. But
there is much concern over the out
come on the score of possible change
of policy on the part Of the American
Federation Of Labor. If that organiza-
ton is turned into radical lines it may
prove a decidedly harmful influence in
the American industrial situation.

The Tariff Bill Almost Ready.

Assurance was given in the House
yesterday by Leader Mondell that the
tariff revision measure will be reported
to that body about the first proximo.
There are men who question the
course being pursued. Their argu-
ment is that the present is not the
time for tariff revision; that business
conditions are still too unsettled and
confused everywhere; that not until
the nations with which we hold trad
ing relations and we ourselves have
returned to business normally will it
be possible to operate under a new
tariff with anything like safety and
satisfaction.
The leaders Of the party in power
have rejected this suggestion. They
have laid their course by the propo.
sition that the present tariff, never
satisfactory to business interests, is
wholly out Of plumb now. and needs
immediate revision.
This is probably the correct view
Of the case. The revision proposed
may not have a long lease Of life. But
If it contributes to easing present diff
ficulties as affected by the tariff it will
serve good purpose. And if they
are eased to the point of making a re-
vision Of the present revision neces-
sary in the near future, that can be
done. In time when so much Is in
f1ux. sufficient unto the day is the
tariff thereof.
When the debate begins. and while
it lasts. this country. and other coun-
tries. will be at attention. For what
we do in this matter will have an i'm
