CURRENT COMMENT
The Allies and the League.

Whether the league of nations will
be able to help the supreme council
out of its dilemma is doubtful, but
the disposition made of the problem of
upper Silesia at least gives the ha
raised statesmen breathing space, as
in the case of the dispute over Wilma.
Months will be needed for investiga
ton and discussion, and while the mat
ter is in the hands of the league the
entente is safe, and the supreme coun-
ell can go on with the other business
which has accumulated during a long
recess. 1t is well to recognize in ad-
vance, however, that the difficulty of
agreement will be as great in the
league as in the supreme council. Be
sides France, Great Britain, Italy and
Japan, which are members of the SUI
preme council, the council of the league
represents Belgium, Brazil, China and
Spain. OF these Belgium as the ally of
France, and Spain because of its sup
posed pro German tendencies during
the war, might not be chosen as arbi-
traitors if arbitration were in question,
but it may be supposed that their rep
resentatives will faithfully act as
members of the league of nations, and
both Brazil and China are remote
enough from Europe to be free from
bias in regard to upper Silesia.
To make the decision satisfactory,
however it must be unanimous, and
that will be no easier to secure at &C.
neva than at Paris At Paris the issue
lay between France on the
one hand and England, Italy and ia
pan on the other, for while the latter
group differed somewhat in their views
they were able to reach compro
mise which France at the last moment
fatty refused TO accept. If at Geneva
France should be equally unyielding
unanimity would be impossible; if it
should get the support of Belgium the
ratio would be, as at Paris, one to
three, and the problem would be unal-
tered. 1t must not be taken for grant
I'd, therefore, that the question is dis
posed of by turning it over to the
league of nations, which will have to
do the best it can with a desperately
botched job. If this crises were not so
perilous the league would be fully JUS
tifad in declining to accept the task
unless its authority was likewise fully |
But even on the present |
terms resort to its good |
)ffices is striking demonstration of |
he practical utility of such an organ

Burlington Rents Go Up.

There seems to be an upward trend
to rents in Burlington recently and as
result many families of moderate
| means have been forced to seek cheap
er quarters, in many instances vacating
homes in which they have lived for
many years. This is a serious condi.
ton of affairs. 1t means that property
owners have forced tenants to adopt
a lower scale of living so that the land.
lords may have larger income
And to make matters worse rents
are being raised while the wages are
declining and there is much unem-
ployment among wage earners. IL
looks as if the landlords were taking
advantage of the shortage of homes in
the city and forcing the tenant TO pay
any price demaned
The largest single item, aside from
food, in the working mans expense
budget is rent. 1t has generally been
accepted that rent should be not more
than Is per cent of the laboring mans
income. On this basis assuming that
a man earns 81 200 per year his rent
should be Sl5 per month. How many
comfortable homes are there in Burl.
ington for SIS per month! Start out
and try TO find one in a decent local
lily for that price. OF course squalid,
unsanitary tenements located on a
mean street with no modern conven-
fences can be had for that price. 1t is
into one of these that the twenty five
dollar-aweek workman in Burlington
must move his family when the land.
lord raises the rent from SIS to $50 or
else he must make q corresponding cut
in food, clothing or family expenses.
1t would be interesting to know
what reason there is for raising rents
just now. There has been no reap.
prsisal to real estate TO increase taxes,
upkeep expenses are on the
decline. With winter coming on apace,
with fuel high and likely TO go higher
with wages declining and work not
over abundant, just why should the
Burlington property owner pick out
this particular time to jump the rents
of his tenants Is it because apart |
ments are scarce and he is determined |
TO exact the uttermost farthing from
the man who is already having a hard |
to maintain his family ~

that he is dealing with law breakers,

across the line scot free, his Doodle

Mr. Stephen H. p. Pell, one of the
board Of governors, has very kindly
consented to give the association the
freedom Of Fort Ticonderoga for that
day and will personally conduct the
party through the fort II is planned
that the members shall assemble there
by whatever means of conveyance they
see fit TO select, either by train, steam

also planned that everybody shall
bring their own lunch. Suitable accom-
modations will be provided as to ia.
bles for those who desire them at the

Those of our readers who have not

Now that Conwell has been here

let's all take hold and get rich" is the
inspiration which the Ludlow Tribune
holds out to its readers. We presume
the contemporary refers to the famous
lecture Acres Of Diamonds" which.
when fresh in mind, almost causes one
to expect TO see diamonds sproutinv
in ones backyard. However. when
considered iguratively and in calm
frame OF mind, the lecturers words are
calculated to impress upon one the
fact that there is the equivalent of
diamonds if one is inclined to apply
himself with the required assiduity in
bis own field Of operation. Conwell
Is quite explicit in saying that the
diamonds cannot be found except
through hard. intelligent work. That.
then, is the lesson: work hard and in
diligently. Il applies not merely to
