STILL DOUBT ABOUT MANDATES

TTNHE second reminder to the United States
i that this Government has failed to an
swer the invitation to send n representative
to Geneva, where the Council of the League
is to meet on Friday, is susceptible Of sew
eral interpretations. Listed for discussion
by the League Council is the question Of
mandates.
It is permissible to believe that the prin
cipal allied Powers are anxious to establish
clarity Of our refusal policy as a warrant
for procedure regardless of American in
terests.
On the other hand. the very fact that the
mandate subject is to be reopened suggests
that the Hughes notes addressed directly to
the foreign Governments and questioning
their right to dispose Of zap. Mesopotamia
and other territories acquired through the
war, through the agency Of League ma
chinery, have made a considerable impress
sion.
II the League were sure Of It's prerogatives
it may be wondered why the issue should
still be left open. Aside from techncalities
it would seem that the Powers are not quite
sure of their ground.
Within the League itself there Is reported
a strong sentiment in favor of referring the
whole question back to the principal nations
which negotiated the Versailles Treaty.
Notwithstanding our refusal to sanction that
pact, the United States did actually play n
vital part in its framing.
Judging from his actions as thus far re-
vealed, Secretary Hughes is apparently
anxious to have the mandate matter settled
by the victors in the war against Germany
without special reference to the League.
There are indications that the old argument
that this country forfeited its rights by re-
jecting the League Is less vigorously sup
ported abroad than was the case year ago.
Final proof of the worth of the Hughes
program must be sought in the future.

Old Houses in the Sums

MANY mansions face the street
1Vl Where the past and present meet
Mansions old and ivy swept,
Homes that once were proudly kept
BY aristocratic danes
Bearing old and honOred names.
Now the Carven lions, set
On the steps low parapet.
Only serve to guard at pay
Foreign children all the day.
And the rooms are homes and shops
Where an ancient splcndor stops
Like presence, sad and slow,
Wistful, lingering, loath to go.
Lille was once stately round
On the consecrated ground
Where the crumbing mansions stand,
But the democratic hand
OF the years has levelcd low
All their pride Of long ago.
Now a hundred noisy feet
Through the dingy portals beat
Tragedy and death and birth,
Joy and sin and noisy mirth--
All emotions one may trace
In each stony furrowed face,
And they make a human whole
That has given the houses soul
Walls arc kindly arms to shield.
Doors are lips with secrets sealed,
Windows, patient weary eyes
Lit with wisdom and surmise.
They have served so long, and borne
Poverty and shame and scorn;
Warmed the poor and fatherless,
Given rest to sick distress,
Even sheltered Christ, i think,
Suppliant for food and drink.
Surely these old houses know
There's alheayen where MANSIONS 20!

PENRcSE GETS FIRST PLUM

DRESlDENT HARDING has been in Office
4 more than three months and he has kept
Senator Penrose waiting for recognition all
this time.
IL was not until this week that nomina-
tion to Federal Office in this State was
sent to the Senate with Penroses indorse.
mept. 1t was to the superintendency Of the
Mint in this city. The man is Freas Styer,
a Montgomery County lawyer, who is chair
man of the County Republican Committee.
The superintendcncy Of the Mint usually
goes to the politicians in this end of the
0tate. The senior Senator lives in Phila-
delphia. Therefore it was to be expected
that a man with his Endorsement would be
neminated.
Many politicians hungry for jobs will hope
that 1t foreshadows a further distribution Of
Federal patronage in this neighborhood.

Auto Trade as Example

Just take the automobile industry as an
instance. A man would be so placed in a
plant as to know how to fulfill some small
duty, trifing in itself but vital to the COM
pleted product. He was trained to perform
that operation in the minimum time and
perhaps for years.
when the period of depression caused
slump last fall, what happened to such in
dividuals? They were out of a job and had
no training to do anything else.
There's only one remedy, and that is for
the worker to develop his talents during his
spare time He has the time because the
country Is now practically standardized on
the eight hour day.
What we need is more Jacks OF all
trades. A man can very easily be a master
Of some line Of work, but he should be able
to turn his efforts in other channels IL
necessary.
THE fact that we've specialized In the
training OF the industrial worker has really
submerged individuality and versatility, but
that Is only the price we've had to pay for
increased production.
Men have become cogs in huge industrial
machines. They know one operation and no
other. Such a man has no place to turn
when n business slump tMows him out Of
employment. He can only qualify as an
unskilled laborer.
War Made Some Changes
We've had a sort of half way machinist
developed during the war. A man was put
on n machine and he learned that one and
no other. He couldn't begin to compete
with the journeyman machinist who has
spent anywhere from three to seven years
learning his trade and can operate anything
which may be found in a general shop.
Those are the types of men who are

THE TYPICAL AMERICAN"

"TTNIiE typical American of today" said
i Walter Dill Scott, president Of North :
western University, "is more often the de-
scendant OF stcerage passengers than Of the
Pilgrim Fathers" And the scant context
in the Evanston, ILL.,. dispatch seems to
imply that the fact is deplorable.
But Is it?
The typical American Of today is a
mighty good though sometimes n somewhat
careless citizen. and II he comes from among
those who, as Mr.. Doolcy says, missed the
first boat, it must be admitted that the
steerage in the old days carried some pretty
good stock.
What the typical American" of tomor-
row, the descendants of present day steeragc
passengers. will be is, rs Perlmuttor would
say, something else again. Which is one Of
the reasons why the immigration problem
is Just aching TO be solved.
