Mr.. Schwab's Emotion.

The Armenian Note

Stripped of surplusage. the Ar
menian note of the President says
two things. First. that the bolsi1e-
wiki now in power in Russia are "a
violent and tyrannical minority. by
no means representing the real pur-
pose and desire of the Russian peo-
pie. Second. that this violent and
unwelcome autocracy, reaching be-
yond it's borders. has. the remains of
poor Armenia beneath its savage
paw. -- -
calculated to delight Moscow. It is
that there is confusion where lodges
the spirit Of offense and where the
spirit of defense. In other words,
does the President seriously believe
by the weak border states? The
preposterousness of such an; idea is
manifest. =
If the President were in real doubt
he would suggest other tests to find
out where the truth lies. He would
order an immediate disqualification Of
her large army in return for assur-
ance from the western nations, in
the habit OF keeping their words that
If the bolshevists disbanded the red
army the areas under their control
say that no offensive would be under:

the result Of a free election in Russia.
President Wilson seems to labor
under the Same confusion of ideas
that controlled him in the days when
he recognized what Germany was. but
continuously labored to help Germany
by keeping up a fire of criticism
against those opposed to her. Soviet
Russia is now the beneficiary Of his
course: but there, in 1921, as in 1916,

The Senate and Treaties.

In the announcement that "nego-
tiations between Ambassadors Morris
and Shidehara for the settlement Of
the California question and the def
milton of the rights of Japanese in
the United States have been success
fully concluded" this statement ap-
pears:
Members of the Senate foreign re-
lations committee have been kept
advised by Mr.. Morris Of the various
phases of the negotiations, so that if
the committee desired to consider In
the remaining days of the present
session any draft treaty which Presi-
dent Wilson might submit. the way
would be cleared for prompt action"
Mr.. Morris is to be congratulated
on his attitude toward the foreign re-
lations committee of the Senate. It
was correct. The Senate is part of
the treaty-making power of the gov
eminent, and treaties sent in by the
President for ratification are referred
to that committee for examination
and report. So that, if treaty grows
out of these negotiations, and is sent
in for ratification, its terms will not
take the committee by surprise.
The more the subject is considered
the greater is regret warranted that
the President did not pursue this
course while in Paris engaged in the
negotiations which resulted in the
peace treaty he signed there. It was
his original purpose, publicly declared,
TO keep the Senate advised Of the
terms of the work upon which he was
entering. 1t was 10 know promptly
all that he knew-all that was COM
ing before him for consideration.
But he changed his course. He did
not communicate with the Senate, or
with individual senators. at any time
while he was abroad, bat signed
pact which proved to be in its terms
unacceptable to the Senate, and which,
as submitted, the Senate rejected.

An Employment Census.

Following up the suggestion made
in The Star yesterday regarding the
idle young men of this city who are
engaged in no tangible pursuit be-
yond that of idling their time in places
of amusement and on street corners
and in somewhat questionable resorts,
would it not be well for the police to
take a census Of occupations? It is
desirable, in the first place, to find
out how much actual unemployment
there is in Washington, to learn just
how many people are out of jobs, and
who want them and need them, and
who do not. 1t can be assumed that
there are many men IN this city who
employment, who would be glad for
anything to do. But what of those
who have nothing to do. who are nor
mally out of employment, and who
make no effort? How do they live?
They do not look like job hunters.
They are carefree and well dressed.
They are Indifferent in their spending.
How do they do it?
The police know some Of these men.
A few Of them have records" They
are already suspects in way, and
it is quite natural that when any,
thing breaks, when crime is COM
mitted, such as these should be the
first brought in for examination. But
usually there is nothing specific on
which to hang an accusation. It is
impossible to send a man to prison
for a crime simply because he is idle
and might have committed it. Mon
strous injustice would be done by
such procedure.
Just the same, community security
demands that these idlers, who never
seek jobs, who scorn work, who spend
their time and money at resorts and
loafing places. should be brought to
account. They should be put on in
quiry as to where they get their
means, who Is supplying them with
funds and why. This may be inquisi-
torial, but the conditions are such as
to demand unusual procedure. Idle
ness breeds crime, and there is alto
gether too much needless idleness in
Washington today, and in consequence
too much crime.

WINGED Of the sincerity Of this display
Of feeling
Mr.. Schwab has borne a reputation
which has rendered him immune to
charges Of personal graft and that
sort Of thing. His own means are
great enough to put him far beyond
the range Of avarice. He had given
his services free in the national cause.
To be accused. after the devotion of

nocence would naturally react as did
this man of business yesterday on the

If there remain doubts they are of
the kind that can be dlspelled only
by the most concrete proofs. The
case, however. should not be left upon
the emotional plane. The voucher

details explained. If there was loose
bookkeeping In the Shipping Board or
the fleet corporation it should be

Watching Washington.

This is from a special dispatch to
The Star from Atlanta, printed Sun
day:
Business men all over Canada are
watching Washington and are hoping
that the Fordney bill and other leg.
islation will not hurt Canadian inter-
ests.''
Business men in other countries are
watching Washington, and hoping for
the same thing.
The tariff revision upon which we
are entering Is Of wide concern.
American markets are Of great value.
Every country with products to sell,
and salable here, is anxious to enter
upon the best terms possible.
This has been true for many years,
and has always been taken into &C
count in our tariff legislation. High
tariff and low tariff men alike have
considered imports in their relation
to our home products as well as to
revenue, in revising tariff rates and
schedules.
The present tariff problem differs
from previous problems In the fact
that the necessities for a new law
grow out Of a world catastrophe. New
tariff arrangements are required in
every trading country, and Of one
kind or another must be made by every
country whose hope and purpose are
to keep up with the procession.
Our arrangements must be made
according to the November mandate,
which calls for protection to deserving
American industries. This does not
mean the building Of a trade wall
around the country, for we must
trade with other nations, but 1t does
mean that in whatever we do, first
consideration must be given to our
own interests here at home.

Hunting "the PAPERS,"

AS result of the housing and labor
inquiry that has been in progress in
New York for some months the head
OF the building trades council in that
city has been brought to trial on a
charge OF extortion. The prosecution
desired to obtain access to the min.
utes Of the council and got an order
from the court for their production.
They were supposed to be in a safe,
which. when being brought to court,
proved to be steel filing cabinet with
combination locks. A safe expert,
after working on these locks for four
hours. declared that they could be
opened only by drilling. The court
does not want to order the cabinets
opened In this manner, and yet hav-
ing started to find the minutes it
must pursue the quest. It is not as.
sured that the papers are in the cabi-
nets, but only supposed so. What if
the locks are blown and the wished
for documents are not within? Prob
ably certain other papers are there
OF confidential nature. It would real.
ly have been much simpler If the Off
GERS Of the building trades council
had submitted the minutes in the be-
ginning. But they take the position
that the prosecution has no right to
these minutes, regardless Of what they
contain. and that it must prove its
case, if it can. in some other man.
ner. Attention having been concen-
trated on the fling cabinets. the stu
alton becomes melodramatic, and it
remains now to be seen whether the

Reprieves and Justice,

Gov. Miller Of New York, in deny
ing application for reprieves in the
case Of two Mexicans condemned to
die for murder. said that he does not
propose to grant reprieves, "either to
raise false hopes in the breasts Of de.
PENDANTS or to magnify the chances
Of escape from the consequences of
crime in the minds Of those against
whom society needs to be protected"
There is further reason for the gov
ernor's position in this respect. In
connection with his refusal he says:
ton Of the judgments of the courts
merely tend to bring the administra-
ton Of Justice into disrepute. Pun.
ishment for crime should be made a.
certain as possible and should follow
the o6ense as speedily as the due
will admit"
In this brief statement Gov. Miller
has expressed the feeling Of the coun.
try at large. There is too much de-
lay in the administration Of justice
here. Cases multiply in which there
is lapse Of not only months but
years between the commission Of q
crime and its expiation. There is FIRST
a long preliminary hearing before the
grand jury; then. in case Of indict.
ment, a walt while attorneys pre.
pare the cases and while the crowded
calendar Of the court revolves to the
point Of trial; then perhaps q pro-
tracted trial. maybe lasting weeks;
then appeal to another congested court

decisions, further appeal to even high

The Americanization of, this country
is becoming serious matter. Rich
American women marry our impover-

luxurious extravaganza, which is most

aristocracy is ruined. The Americans

the music halls with American slang.
American shopkeepers are buying up
shops to such an extent that soon
there won't be an individual shop in
Oxford street or Regent street. Ameri-
can newspapers are dumping their sur

their cost of production. II this goes
on. England will become an annex of
the United States.
We have read in an American novel
that after a concert or ball given by n
millionaire at Newport, the host and
the first violin sat down to supper to-

school, without the slightest sense of
incongruity or allusion to their differ
