PREPARING FOR A

The attitude. of President Harding ns indicated in
his address to Congress at the opening Of the extra ses-
sion is in favor of the conclusion OF the state Of war
which exists between this country and Germany and
Austria, leaving the future relations of this nation with
the European countries to be determined by subsequent
negotiations. The subject Is full OF complications. A
declaration Of peace will not establish any basis for
future relations but~a basis must be established. Other
wise an intolcrable situation would continue. The plan
as outlined in the Knox resolution is to end the state
OF war. and In doing so to reserve the present status
of the United States with reference to property rights.
national and individual. which it has obtained as one
of the vtctors in the late war. leaving notifications of
these to be made later in the framing of treaties.
insofar as they relate to the rights of tho United States
will be incorporated in any new treaty which. is to be
made. One of the difficult problems will be TO make
such provisions, and at the same time, to eliminate the
League of Nations which is almost inextricably inter-
woven in the treaty itself. When the conditions of per-
manent peace were negotiated, it may not have, been
necessary. probably not SO necessary to so the full length
Of instituting a league Of nations. as such. 1t was neces-
sary, however, to provide some method whereby the pro-
visions Of the treaty should be carried INTO effect. With.
out the League Of Nations, it would have been necessary
is no reason Why this could not have been done, but the
plan actually adopted was to invest the League Of Ma
tons with authority to supervise the execution Of the
treaty terms. Eliminating the league altogether from
American consideration, It will be necessary to find some
substitute, and this will prove undoubtedly, one OF. the
knotty problems.

|cnc-third Of the senate when the vote is finally taken
will be found opposed to the treaty.
This treaty, like "a good many others, represents a
compromise enc it is because they maintain that It
&C mpronises the nations reputation that most Of the OBJ
jcctors hold tack from approval Of the treaty. 1t is trtc
that the treaty is not necessary to the United States.
This country could exist and prosper. and forget the re-
public of Colombia altogether; but 1t has been a part OF
wise American policy to create friendly relations with
the nclg,torjns republics in this hemisphere, and 80 tar
as possible to remove from the minds of their people
everything that may tend to create suspicion of this ma
ti"n; and while the purchase OF friendship is always to be
avoided. generous concessions may very okten wisely be
made when the making OF them will tend to allay fric-
tior. and remove suspicion. The question is not whether
or mol we owe Colombia twenty-five million dollars or
INV Other sun. The tact Is that because OF an incident
by which Tbs United States proflted very materially,
Colombia was Inundated and perhaps sustained some
material loss. In undertaking to. remove the sting from
the situation, the United States makes no confession of
wrong doins;' nor, does she admit the existence of any
valid pecuniary claim. She undertakes simply to confer
a substantial benefit upon a neiEhbor and in tina, way,
In q measure to assist the neiEhbor to a participation IN
the benefits of the construction Of the canal which, is of
material service to this country and more SO, to this
country than to any other.

FORTUNATE NORTH DAKOTA.

No locality on the continent has q monopoly OF good
or bad weather. and it i'll becomes any of us to boast.
We may. however. with perfect propriety, express a feel
ms OF qualification when conditions work out to our ad-
vantage. We of this territory are particularly fortunate
just now in having escaped a disastrous storm which
binary violence, and which extended it's adverse influence
far into the north.
The storm, which scems to have originated in Texas.
and which marked out a path Of destruction clear to the
Atlantic, has killed nearly 100 people, and has destroyed
property whose value runs into the millions. Farther
north, and away from the path of the central storm, its
influence was shown in unreasonable snow and rain and
hard freezing weather, and conditions have been created
which will be highly detrimental to the localities where
the storms influence was felt in this manner.
North Dakota has felt the influence of the storm,
but what we have experienced here has been merely q
rush of cool air from the north toward the center Of dis
turbance. A few cold. raw days followed our earlier
ture development Of vegetation was checked. with the
chances much more in favor of our getting through the
season without damage from spring frost. The wind has
dried the fields and placed them in i&eal condition for
seeding. The cool weather has aided the farmer in his
work by creating conditions more favorable for his work
ing stock.
"A good deal of seeding has already been done, and
the season is yet young. Wheat seeding is often post
poned until May. With two weeks of April remaining
a very appreciable proportion Of the early seeding is
done, with conditions admirable for the remainder.

THE PUMPING Ep1sopE

The attitude of British strike leaders toward the
pumping of the coal mines which have been closed be-
cause of the strike illustrates one deplorable phase of the
controversies which arise the world over between EN-.
ployer and employe. A great coal mine is more than
a mere hole in the ground. 1t Is an intricate maze OF
shafts and tunnels, with passages extending hundreds Of
feet downward and miles laterally. Here and there veins
Of water are tapped, and IN order to keep the pits free
from water and maintain working conditions elaborate
drainage systems are necessary. These systems have
been constructed 1T vast expense, and represent years
OF e1ort. In some cases to permit the mines to become
flooded would entail months Of labor to bring them again
into production, and in other cases the ruin would be
rretrievable.
1t was under these conditions that strike leaders
proposed to call all the men away from the mine pumps.
and to permit no others to take their place. Such a
course is as deliberate a wreckase OF property as If Are
or dynamite were used. and it was frankly admitted that
this was one Of the most effective weapons of the strikers
and one which they were unwilling to release.
The cause which needs the use Of such means is
not a worthy cause. and those who would employ such a
weapon are simply casting aside all pretensions to good
citizenship. The deplorablc fact is that thousands of
men who, in their ordinary relations, are good citizens.
are led into such an attitude. The British miners, taken
In the mass are men Of limited education and limited
knowledge outside Of their own occupation. They are
rugged fellows, as their work requires, and in the main
they are doubtless well meaning, peaceful and tndustri-
Gus. It may be taken for granted that there are few
among them who would deliberately set fire to the prop
erty of . neishbor or perform any other act which would
result in injury to another. And yet there has been
brought to bear upon them a peculiar and malignant in
duence which leads them to countenance. and partici-
pate In acts which under other circumstances they
would r%epudtate. And in this country as we'll as abroad
there. are sktlIfuI and plausible men who are pouring
this sort Of poison into mems minds year in and year. out.

HOPE IN THE STRIKE SITUATION

The decision Of the railway and TRANSPORT workers
Of Great Britain not to participate in the present strike
has caused a feeling Of hopefulness throughout the
kingdom, aud there Is room for the belief that the coal
strike itself will be ended within a few days. 1t is to
be hoped that this may be the result. The continuation
of the strike will demoralize industry Of every kind. and
win bring additional suffering and loss to a people who
have already about all the load that they can stagger
under. From the standpoint Of friendly interest alone
Americans cannot regard the prospect Of disaster to a
neighbor without concern.
But In addition to the feeling of neighborly regard,
the people Of this country have a very immediate and
practical interest in the settlement Of this strike, and
OF all other complications which tend to prevent Great
Britain from putting forth her industrial strength In
the most effective way. The trade relations between the
Unttsd States and Great Britain are close. That country
export and our imports from Britain are a very i'm
portant part Of our total imports. 1t is profitable for ue
to do business with her.! And anything which tends
to impair her power to buy the things which We have
to sell, and to produce the things that we need to buv
II injurious to US.
We have had an illustration of this fact during the
past week or tan days in the effect Of the British coal
strike on the price Of American grain. OF course those
who are Constantly looking for q Niger in the wood-pile
attribute the PRICE reductions to the malignant influence
Of Wall street or something elsa equally vile. But 1t
