that Nicaragua would soon become a
member Expressions of regret that
the Costa Rican Congress has rejected
the pact, were general. as If Nicaragua
joins this action will spoil the complete
unification of Central America.
Nicaragua had fatty rejected the
Central American treaty on the ground
that she could not agree to Salvador's S
demand that Nicaragua abrogate the
Bryan Chamorro treaty OF the United
States. on the ground that the treaty
violated the constitution of the Central

JAPAN HOLDS UP SILK PRICES

Japan is not actuated by any Of
those motives of trade philanthropy
which the free traders and interna-
tionalists of this country advocate for
the United States. Japan has practi-
cally monopoly on raw silk.
Siegfried Mayer, sales manager Of a
we'll known silk company. says that
with Yokohama quoting $3.50 Ca
pound) for double extras it has be-
come exceedingly difficult to sell
thrown silk. 1t costs us from S1.25
to s1.35 pound to make up the yarn
and we should be asking no lower
than So a pound. Many throwers are
selling at p cents below actual cost.
Most mills on that account are oper-
ating at less than half of normal
The japanese price for silk before
the war was around $3.50. In June,
1920, it went as high as SO. We i'm
ported 1900, 0O0 worth of woven SILK
fabric from Japan during the seven
months ending july last, compared
with about Sl,25O,O0O for the seven
months ending July 81, 1913. 1t is to
be hoped that the Texas silk e%-
pertinent proves a success and it
should be encouraged.

THE WAY FOLLOWS THE WILL

Truth is found in the statement of
President William Sproul of the
Southern Pacific Company that
public opinion will do more than
either railroad men or bankers can
do to bring about that Improvement
in conditions which is the need Of
the time" Neither the bankers. nor
tae railroads nor members of Con-
Eress can go far without public opin-
ion backing them up. What we
need is a better understanding of all
economic as we'll as Official issues
as the basis for a clearly defined pub
lie opinion. Many people believe
that the period of readjustment is
not over-that deflation has not been
equally distributed and will not be
completed until it has been equally
distributed. When the public be-
lieves the adjustment is over. all
lines of industry will revive and the
upward swing will be long and en-
joyable. We hope that that belief
may soon be"reaiized.

EARLY EMIGRATION OF BIRDS

The annual fight southwark of
wild game birds from their breeding
grounds is earlier this fall than usu-
al, according to the United States
Biological Survey. Many more
thousand birds are now on the wing,
the department states, than have
flown south for years. No reason is
assigned for the earliness of the
fight-only the birds know. Not
even a suggestion of a hard" win
ter is offered. Says the department.:
The pintail and the teal already
are on the wing. The mallard, the
canvas-back, the redhead, the widg-
con, the black head and other later
emigrants soon will be on their way
10 warmer climes. Reports from al
most every section tell of the great
size Of the flights already under way.
From the sandhillsf of Nebraska,
come reports Of larger numbers of
ducks than seen for years. Little
Goose Lake in South Dakota, visited
recently by a representative of the
Biological Survey, was reported to be
literally alive with ducks. From al
most every section of Iowa ducks are
reported to be plentiful. In the
Green Bay section of Wisconsin
there are said to be more ducks than
ever before. Many more black
ducks are reported in Maine than
were seen last season. Along the
New Jersey coast there also has been
a big increase.

Change the Medicine
(BOston GlObe)

tbOSlOI Ni4ObC)
The French Government is coming
to the Disarmament Conference in an
awkward frame Of mind. 1t seems
mainly set on obtaining some sort of
military guarantee from Britain and
America to come to the rescue again
if France should again he attacked.
BY whom? Germany, of course. But
Germany is beaten, not to say dis
armed. Yet, but in Il dozen or score
of years Germany might recover, and
what then?
This frame of mind is understand
able enough; but the peculiar part is
that it does not seem to be charaC-
teristic of the French people so much
as of the Government-or of Whatso-
ever forces are in control of the Gov
crnmcnt.
This uncasiness on the part of the
French Government is symptom
worthy of examination. Pretty much
the whole world came toits rescue in
-the late npleasantneSS. 1t has had
military victory over it's foe, a
crushing indemnity imposed and a
decree of disarmament actually car
ricd out. Mere force can do no more
unless we do to the German people
what the Turks did to the Arme-
mans. And yet the French Govern
mcnt is not satisfied and does not
feel safe.
Does it ever occur to these gentle
men that it may be time to try some
thing other than force? Does it oc-
cur to them that they are encounter
ing the essential defect of armed
force as a means of settling disputes
of any sort whatsoever-that a.vic-
tory engenders a spirit of revenge
which remains as a perpetual mem
ace to the victor? Does it occur to
them that if the world of business is
ever to be got going again that world
has something more to do than sit on
the fence with rife across its
knees and see that Germany does not
take revenge for her late trouncing?
Does it occur to those in authority
that a certain force known as trust,
or credit, or good will (Which gov
ems far more of our daily transact
tons than force, might be a good
thing to try for change? 1t might
not work? We'll. if the opposite
method has been a success, why this

mancnt armies, and the incessant rem
ovation of ornaments" DR.. Mesen
added.
But war is not the outcome of any
| accumulation of weapons" be said,
| "but of misunderstanding of the in
| ternational. interests of nations; ter
ritorial interests - boundary or colo
nial-industrial racial or institutional
interests. Paucity of ornaments does
not determine peace. 1t is state of
consciousness of the nations which
engcnders wars. which insinuates the
convenience of taking up arms, which
infatcs the budgets of the states.
Wars, as all other events produced by
man. take birth in the depths of his
thought and his consciousness.
1.-THE enlightened thought of man
and the illumined heart of woman will
determine the permanent peace, as
their obscureEess has generated num-
berlcss wars which have instilled doubt
concerning the moral health of ma
tionS.
Therefore the institutions which
educate the consciousness of individ-
uals, those that inform the thought OF
the people and those that rule their
destinies. are directly and indirectly
responsible for the state of mind OF
nations which fling themselves into
war or which propose peace.
rs there any institution which edu-
Gates the thought of man more ex-
tcnsively or more powerfully than the
one represented by this Press Con-
gress of the World?
IF we truthfully aspire 70 eliminate
war among men. let US recognize with
candor that the Press Congress of tho
World is able to attain this high pur-
pose.
"A memorable performance of this
Press Congress of the World should
be the sketching of the cardinal lines
of the great human interests upon.
which an agreement is possible with
out reviving the extant wide diver
gencies of. nationality. race or religion.
And not less memorable should be
the work or organizing Sub-Congresses
which have in charge the setting
forth, from a new international, view
point. of all those problems affecting
different groups of nations. The
agreements arrived at in these Sub
Congresses should serve as a base to
the Subsequent debates of the Press
Congress Of the World.
The Spanish American section of
this Sub-Congrcss should take IN
charge this most important function;
to emphasize the spiritual unity of all
peoples speaking one and. the same
Peninsula language. creating in a solid
and definite way the sentiment and
the conviction that in the realm of Art
and Scicfce and all the spiritual forms
of Civilization all those nations
arc. separately mere provinces of a
vast ensemble which we must take in
sight when the artistic work is Great
ed. or the scientific research is brought
about. or the philosophic doctrine is
expounded.
Such a section Of the Sub Congress
should take IN charge the foundation
and direction of great newspaper

tinental conscious mind, to unyeil this

Press Freedom Upheld

philadelphia Public Ledger
The city of Chicago. or rather that
part of it represented by Mayor
Thompson and "Thompsonism,' has
lost it's suit against the chicago
Tribune. 1t was the conten-
ton OF the citys attorneys that
the Tribune and the Chicago Daily
News had 'libeled' Chicago IN
printing criticisms OF the corporate
acts of the municipality. Damages
in the sum of $10,000,000 were asked.
On the face of it the suit was
brought to stop the mouths OF chi
cago newspapers in the future and
to punish them for what they had
done TO the thing called Thompson
ism" in the past. In sustaining the
demurrer filed by the Tribune, Judge
Fisher pointed out that if the city's
action was held maintainablc,
then public officials
have in their power one OF the most
effective instruments with which 10
intimidate the press and to silence
their enemies. 1t is a weapon to be
held over the head of every one VINO
darcS print or speak uhlaNolapiy VI
the men in power.
SO ends a dangerous and lnsolent
attempt by one of the most arrogant
of political machines to maintain
itself in power and to outlaw, crush
and silence all possible effective crit
icism of itself and its acts. The
ruling made was the expected ruling.
UNFOLDING the contentious of the city
would have meant that no matter
how corrupt, how dangerous or sin
lister any official might be, he would
, be able to use the powers of the
municipality in hiding his crooked
ness and infirmities. With the tax
payers money he could prosecute
any taxpayer who publicly ques-
toned his crookedneSS.
To accept any such doctrine would
be to prepare the way for period
Of municipal corruption and de-
hatchery that would smell to heaven.
Extended to State and national Gov
ernment, it would mean the end of
popular government and quick
drift to -perpetuating autocracics
! built on a lust for undisturbcd and
amending power.

SHOULD COMMAND RESPECT

While 1t must be admitted that the
Governments attempt to interfere
with railroading have proved any
thing but a success nevertheless cer-
tain outward forms Of respect are
considered proper in dealing with
governmental agency, especially one
that has the direct sanction of Con-
eress, such as the United States La
Dor Board A few weeks ago certain
of the railroads assumed an attitude
rot altogether respectful and now the
employees rather than await its de-
cision respecting the proposed wage
reduction propose a strike, the very
thing which the board was created to
make unnecessary.
Naturally it comes about that the
board must give some reason for its
existence, which surely is threatened
from both sides OF the controversy.
Naturally, too, the public may see a
menace in this attitude of disrespect
for a court through which only is it
possible for the people to have a
voice.
A railroad is entitled to earn
fair income on the capital invested,
but most Of them are not able to do
this, or at least are not doing it. 1t is
not surprising that they demur to
the continuance Of regulations both
extravagant and unreasonable. On
the other hand the railroad organ
izations have yet the taste Of blood
which they acquired under McAdoo.
1t is not surprising that they mani
fest. a sort of contempt for a gov
ornamental board. and their arrogant
attitude on the strike question shows
what would happen if the Govern
ment which they evidently hold, in
contempt should be forced to take
over the roads.
1t is become matter of great i'm
portance that such authority as the
Government possesses shall be used
in such a way as to compel respect.
