THE UNITED STATES vINp,cATEs HERSELF

The honor of the United States has been indicated, in
a large measure, by the ratification of the several treaties
that were drawn up by the Washington conference. America
has shown the world that she is willing to cooperate with
other nations, at least as far as the settlement of the Pacific
problems are concerned. The utter impractability Of con-
iinuing a policy of isolation seems to have been realized.
Even the "bitter-enders" in the senate have seen the use
lessness of their opposition.
The old boo-a boo about entangling alliances has been
d~ispelled. While there has been no alliance entered into,
and a reservation was passed by the senate to emphasize that
fact, no agreement to work with another party is worth the
paper it is written on if those entering into the agreement
are not willing TO stand together in whatever course may be
decided upon in a crisis. The moral obligation is there.
But why should not the United States assume the moral
obligation that goes with such a pact when there is so much
at stake? By assuming this obligation the United States is
able to save billions of dollars in naval construction alone.
That is something worth while, especially at this time when
it is so necessary to reduce government expenses TO relieve
the burden on the people.
Then, by assuming this moral obligation the United
States has succeeded in having the two-power alliance, be-
tween Great Britain and Japan a~brogated. This was a
menace, with the Pacific situation remaining as it was, that
the United States could not treat lightly.
The first steps toward a square deal for China are also
taken by assuming this moral obligation to stand with the
other three Powers i'll preserving the peace in the Pacific.
If there is any nation to preserve the integrity of China it
has got to be the United States. China appreciates what the
United States has done for her already and the future will
pS Slis# !sa4 no mistake has been made i" continuing this
But with the peace of the Pacific assured, at least for
len years, what about the Atlantic? With Europe owing the
United States so many billions, are we not interested in the
settlement of affairs there too? And if we are willing to
assume a moral obligation with three other powers for the
adjustment of conditions in the Pacific, why should we hest
tate to assume a moral obligation with all the nations of the
earth for the peaceful adjustment of conditions everywhere ?
That is what the League of Nations amounts to. The next
step for the United States is to get into the league.

a DELAY

There seems to be something very mysterious about the
persistent refusal of the State Board of Health to make an
inspection of the proposed site for the tuberculosis SAM
tarium in Middlesex county. This matter has been hanging
fire now for a long time. The taxpayers of the county are
under heavy expense maintaining tuberculosis patients in
different sanitariums and many patients are unable to re-
celve accommodations at all because of the lack of room
Everybody realizes the need of a sanitarium in Middle
sex ani what is believed to be as good a site as Gamble found
anywhere in the county has been bought and plans have
been prepared for the erection of a hospital on the site. The
freeholders have expressed their willingness to proceed
with the work, but claim to be unable TO go on until the
location has met the approval of the state authorities.
Month after month Freebooter Belloff who seems TO
have this matter particularly in charge, has the same story
to tell. He has received no definite word from the State
Board of Health as to when that body might be expected to
visit the site for the county tuberculosis hospital. The state
authorities are supposed to be extremely interested in such
movements as this. Granting that the state board is very
busy, it would seem as if they ought to have been able to
get around to this most important matter within six or eight
months, at the longest. Yet month after month goes by and
there is no action.
Not only is this a matter of dollars and cents for the
taxpayers. but human lives are at stake. Every months
delay is fatal. 1t is about time to demand a showdown and
find out exactly who is to blame for this mysterious delay.

EURoPE,s REMoTEsT CAPITAL

EUROPE;S REMOTEST CAPITAL
There comes time in the affairs
of very young republics when an
inconspicuous. inaccessible capital is
a governmental isle OF safety.
Hence Tegucigalpa. of the now
uncertain Republic of Central AM
erica. Hence. also. Tirana, of AL
bani1. Both are inland cities. with
out railroads" notes a bulletin of
the National Geographic Society con-
corning the reported revolutionary
attack upon Tirana.
ANY city in Albania would serve
as a capital were the absence of q
railroad the only consideration.
Durazzo, which has held that dis
tinction most of the time since AL
bania became independent, in 1912,
had no railroad, but it had a har-
Dor. And a harbor in the Adriatic,
as in the cas- of Ffume, may be q
dangerous asset. Until the Begin
nins OF the World War Durazzo and
Airana were connected by a 20-mile
streach of the only well paved high
wey in Albania.
Is No Mean City
with your conception of Albania
as n rugged and primitive land,
whose people occasionally die from
ordinary disease, but more often
from differences of opinion you
might be prepared to find in Tirana
a sort of frontier settlement with
few municipal refinements. II you
landed there in an airplane you
would have few evidences that you
were in the present storm center of
the widest country in Europe. You
would see a rich bazaar. wide, paved
streets, mosques of considerable
beauty, many squares with fountains
playing in them, residences that are
truly palatial, and evidence that
commerce and industry thrive.
You could acquire as souvenirs
of your visit specimens of locally
made brass work, distinctive an6
beautiful embroideries, done by the
Tirana women and sold by them In
the market places, and whether a
smoker or not you would wish to
take along m of the oddly and in
~tricately carved pipes. The city

A reduction OF ten cents per thousand cubic feet in the
price of gas will be gratefully received by the people OF this
vicinity. 1t is another step toward getting the cost of living
back to normal. We cannot help but feel, however, that
gas can be sold here for 1926 per thousand cubic feet just
as in Elizabeth, particularly as the EIizabethtown Gas Light
Company is closely affiliated with the local company and
supplies most OF the gas that is used here. If other places
all about US can have the 1925 rate there seems to be no
legitimate reason why Perth Amboy, Woodbridge and
Roosevelt should have to pay five cents more.
In this connection, however, it might be well to sug-
gest to the gas company that in charging Perth Amboy five
cents more than other places are paying the heat units be
increased to what they were formerly thereby giving a bet
ter grade of gas. If the gas is improved the people will not
fnd 50 much fault with the higher price.

NO STATE TAX LEAVY
Other Sources Of Revenue Suf-
fiCient to Run State

st. Paul-Announcement was made
by Governor j. A. o. Preus that there
will be no direct tax levy in Mime
sofa this year for state venue pur-
poses. In 1923, as in 1922, all running
expenses OF the state government will
be paid by corporation taxes. The
announcement was made after consul
tation with Ray p. Chase, state audi
tor, who fixes the levy within limits
made by the legislature. The revenue
fund levy was suspended in 1921 for
the first time, and now Is suspended
for the second consecutive year.
The announcement bears out the
announced policy OF economy carried
on by the state administration.
For this reason the governor has
to the state auditor, Ray
p. Chase. that in fixing the tax levy
for 1923, no direct tax levy be made
upon the people for the maintenance
Of the state government. The occu-
pational tax. together with the other
corporation taxes referred to, will be
adequate to maintain the government
Of the state of Minnesota for 1923.

Wilhelm Would Renew Youth.

official at the German court, recently
suggested to the former emperor that
he would be greatly benefited by
submitting TO the surgical operation
named after Professor Eugen Stein
ach, the famous surgeon Of Vienna,
who originated It. The exile of Doom,
who is nearly Ga years old, consented
to undergo the operation. but II has
not yet been performed.
The operation Is popularity known
as that for 'reiuvenation'' but Stein
ach himself prefers to designate IL
as one for restoration or restitution"
Il refuse to say one weird about the
kaiser or about any other Of my pa
tients," Indignantly replied the former
kaiser's physician when a correspon-
dent questioned him.

faculty OF the University OF Utrecht
said the report from Berlin was most
improbable because the kaiser Is too
young for the Stomach operation"
