Among the objections urged against
the adoption Of the Porter peace reso-
luton by the house was one to the eft:
feet that it's passage would evidence
bad faith to the Allies. The answer
was that all the Allies knew that the
Versailles treaty could not be Of bind
ing force as concer Is the United States
until ratified by the senate. and yet the
other Allies, without waiting for the
United States, have gone ahead and
established relations with the Central
powers leaving the United States all
alone. In. spite of this the United
States had withheld action on the
peace treaty pending a satisfactory
settlement by Germany of the repara-
tions question, in which question the
United States has no direct pecunlary
interest. AS we see it, there is nothing
in the objection stated, and the United
States is under no moral obligation TO
the Allies in regard to the matter; but
still we are in the doubling class as to
whether there is any real intention on
the part Of congress to settle the mat
ter at this time by resolution and we
will remain in that class until techni-
cal peace is finally definitely estab-
lished.

In the view Of the Yorkville En-
quirer there is no reasonable criticism
of the manner in which the Democrats
have handled prohibition enforcement
up to this time. OF course mistakes
have been made and Palmer did not
show up we'll; but under all the cir
cumstances it was unreasonable to eX-
pect more than has been done In so
short a time. But from now on pro-
gress should be made rapidly and to
secure more rapid progress penalties
must be more drastic. II the Federal
government expects the people to res
pect other laws it must make them
obey the prohibition law.

President Obregon Of Mexico, lnti-

The Yorkville Enquirer understands
this treaty, it requires nothing Oh
Mexico except that Mexico must ac-
cord to citizens of the United States
the same rights and privileges she &C
cords to the citizens Of other nations

course, if Mr.. Obregon does not want
to agree to as fair a proposition as
that, it is up to him to do the worry
