finding it extremely difficult to dis
cover how any reduction in taxa
ton can be accomplished this year.

the utmost confidence is being ex-
pressed that there will be at least
some taxation relief. The favorite
forecasts are that 1 shilling in the
pound may be taken off the income
tax, that indirect taxation on beer
and tobacco may be slightly eased
to please the working man and that
tea and sugar may be slightly ia
vored to please his wife.

fortunes could befall our country in
these trying times than to have our
civic energies frittered away in
contests among groups. factions. oc-

Just as we feel a responsibility
to the nation, which we believe must
lead us into one or the other Of the
great political parties, so we should
have a sense Of responsibility for
the party that will favor a proper

Your political party will not hold

millions who voted the Republican

community OF general aim and pur-
pose to warront the sinking OF
minor and individual differences, in
order to discharge the great, broad,
general responsibility that Is i'm
posed upon a party when It comes
into authority.
Republicans have always had
more of this capacity to submerge

The immediate cause OF BRAND s
downfall is his negotiations with
England on questions that would
seem to be of the greatest possible

Editorial Opinion
WHERE'S ARTICLE X?

From the New York Tribune.
Premier BRAND carried away from
Cannes the draft OF a treaty in
which Great Britain agreed TO go
to Frances aid in case French ter
ritory should again be invaded by
German armies. The negotiation
OF such a compact raises the ques-
iion: What has become OF Article
X Of the League OF Nations cove
nant?"
Under the terms OF Article Y,
Great Britain agreed to respect
French territorial integrity and to
preserve it against external ag
gression. Each league member as
sumed this obligation with respect
to the territory OF every other mem
ber. Is the special British contract
with France merely a superhuity.
or is it an indication that both
France and Great Britain now re-
gard Article X as imperative and
meaningless?
When Mr.. Wilson negotiated the
tripartite treaty with Great Britain
and France, guaranteeing France
against an unprovoked attack by
Germany, he cabled Mr. Tumulty
that the agreement was temporary
in character and would bind the
United States to do nothing which
it would not be bound to do under
the covenant section OF the Yer
sailles treaty. Is Great Britain now
offering France assistance which
she is not bound to offer under the
League OF Nations contracts?
Special defensive alliances have
been maintained by members of
the league. The Anglo-Japanese
alliance Is still in existence, al
though arrangements have been
made at Washington to terminate II.
The Little Entente alliance was en-
tered intb by central European
states which are now members Of
the league. Poland has alliance
with France and with members OF
/ the Little Entente.
The League Assembly at its last
meeting adopted resolutions inter
preting Article X and materially
weakening it. but no steps have
been taken to rescind or amend II.
What has become of the universal
obligation to preserve territorial
integrity, which Mr. Wilson de-
scribed as the heart Of the cove
nant?"

That the court victory OF the gar
ment workers over their employers
should excite so much interest Is not
because legal precedent has been up
set, for Justice wagner's decision is
based on the traditional invioiability
OF contracts. The novelty OF the
case lies in the fact that it is the
first time in this part OF the country
that organized labor has sought le-
rally to restrain capital from vio-
lating a contractural obligation.
The legal remedy for wrongs in the
world Of labor has always been ready
for the injured TO take; but, as Jus
tice Wagner says. heretofore the
employer alone has prayed the pro-
lection Of a court OF equity against
threatened irreparable acts OF the
employee" That was not the fault
OF the law. which does not know the
employer from the employed. It was
/ the fault OF a distrust sowed for many
years in the minds OF organized labor
