Senator Beveridge did not know these men

One day a man arrived from a far corner OF

SO there the candidate was mpinged the
horns Of a dilemma. He could not see this man
because he did not know why he had sent for
him. He could not keep him waiting after all

Finally the husky thrust the clerk aside

W England from the Washing
A'A ton conference as a con-
quering hero. He was met by
cheering crowds. He was hailed
as the coming Premier.
Not even Disraeli, bringing
peace with honor from Berlin, was
greeted more warmly than this
commonplace Englishman, pre-
senting to his government a new
triumph of power, without risk or
price, at the expense Of the United
States. The people, we read,
seem intoxicated with joy"
Intoxicated with joy! Intoxi-
Gated with joy! Has anybody OBJ
served that the American people
are intoxicated with joy over the
results of the conferencei Hardly.
The intoxication is not America g;
it is England's; it is Japan's.
Even Mr.. Lodge and Mr.. Root
have remained cold and sober.
From the nation at large there
has come no cheer, no sign of
joy, no proposal to crown Mr.. I'm
derwood with laurel wreaths or
to reward Mr.. Hughes with the
Presidency. A growing sense of
humiliation spreads even in
Washington. But England is in
toxicated with joy! And Japan,
too, only less so.
England surely is justified in her
rejoicing. So is Japan. They have
every reason to be grateful to their
statesmen. They may we'll shower
upon them all the decorations at
the command of King and En-
peror. Balfour and Kato deserve
nobly of their countries. They
won victories that entitle them to
monuments.

ance threatened peril to the Brit

alliance into a partnership in
which the United States would
bear its share in guaranteeing the
endangered empire in the Orient.

to obtain funds enough to con-
test with America the naval sway
over the Pacific. Japan's inva-

Baron Kato is taking home with

most powerful fleet in the Pa

the sanction of the white nations

Promise and
Performance
n ECRETARY HUGHES notes

Al nave Deen particularly eX-
plicit with regard to our
rights in the inundated territories,
taken from the Central Empires
and distributed among the allies
to administer for the benefit of
mankind.
We have contended that, as we
participated in winning these
lands, we must be allowed COM
mercial rights there equal to those
Of the mandatory Powers them
selves.
An official statement here
issued thus defines the Admins
tration's policy:
The Government is putting
into practice the Harding
Hughes doctrine of equal OPP
portunity for all our nationals
throughout the world, PARTIC-
ULARLY of EQUAL OPPOR-
TUNITY IN MANDATED
TERRITORY, which has sew
eral times been emphatically ex-
pressed in notes from this Gov
eminent to the allies.
The statement would be more
convincing if its issuance did not
coincide with the publication of a
protest lodged with the Secretary
of State by the American Cham
Der of Commerce for the Levant:
The American Chamber of
Commerce for the Levant has
observed with great anxiety
the encroachment upon and
damage to American CONNER
cial interests in the East caused
by the entire absence of con-
sideration for American in
terests evidenced by the princi-
pal Allied Powers, particularly
in their administration of oc-
.cupied and inundated territory.
There has been deliberate in
tent on the part of the princi-
pal Allied Powers to obstruct
the progress of American in
terests.
The tacit acceptance by the
Government of the United
States of discriminatory clauses
of the Treaty. of Sevres has al
ready had a most unfortunate
effect on the mentality of the
peoples of the Near Eastern
States. Unless strong proven
tive measures are adopted by
our Government, there will be
the same discrimination in the
next treaty.
The whole foreign policy of
the principal Allied Powers,
in so far as it relates to COM
merce and finance, is the result
of the close alliance and CO
operation between their respec-
tive foreign officials and large
and powerful business interests.
With the world vision and
knowledge of these interests as
their guide, their foreign COM
mercial policy has been con-
sistently planned to prevent
free and unrestricted competi-
ton.
THE CONTROLLING DE-
SIRE OF THE PRINCIPAL
ALLIED POWERS is TO
WEAKEN AMERICAN PRES
TIGE AND TO EXCLUDE

A DamnabIe Shame.

The Washington dispatches indi-
cate that President Harding will
favor a sales tax to raise the money
with which to pay the bonus to the
soldiers.
The sales tax will put the burden
upon the poor people, and | shall
not be surprised if such a tax as
that shall be levied to pay the boys
who did the fighting in France. The
congress raised the money to pay
the expenses of the war by the COM
pulsory sale of the bonds, making
it the patriotic duty of the poor
people to buy the bonds in order to
allay the popular demand for
the cOnscriptiOn of the wealth
of the country to pay the expen-
ses of the war, as the boys had
been cOnscripted TO fight the bat
ties. Men and women were forced
In that way to buy bonds and were

ter the bonds We're sold they finally
went down to about 80 cents and

their bonds at a sacrifice and the
rich people bought them and pock-
eted the difference. Now, since the
country demands that the soldiers
be paid a bonus. the republican
party, | am afraid. will raise the
money by a sales tax or some other
tax that will cause the burden to
fall upon the laboring people to get
money to deal justly with the sol
