THF, TARIFF BILL.

The general statement, universal in the press, that the Senate tariff bill raises the rates of the Payne -Aldrich law, brings little satisfaction to this able feature of the comment concern ing the bill as changed being that, although the specific duties in the Senate bill are higher than the bill as it passed the House, the ad valorem rates are lower due to the fact that the Senate Committee on finance re- jected the American valuation plan, approved by manufacturing interests here, and substituted plan for assessment on foreign values.
 The fact that the farmers bloc has apparently obtained practically what it wanted indicates that the interests which are not those of the farmer have suffered. Everyone could not be satisfied, under the present ad- mlnlstratons plans apparently, and the organized fight of the farmers in terests have won for the time being at least With probably three or four months of discussion and revision of the rates in sight, however, hope is not lost that the absolute necessity of making a. more equitable division of the benefits to be obtained from the tariff measure will be recognized. It is hoped, also, that the republican leaders will see the significance of the democratic trend shown in this sec ton of the country recently and will be influenced by this indisputable fact to show a greater consideration for the, interests here.

AT GENOA.

There would seem to be justice Tn the argument against the admission of Russian and German delegates sthe main committee discrssions at Genoa while the smaller nations, which fought with the allies, are harred,
 The trouble is, however that the deal chiefly with Russia and Germany and how they shall be treated, and decisions reached won!d accomplish little without forcegnl enforcement which must be avoided if the confer cnce Is to be a sucsess, unless Rus sia and Germany are in accord with those decisions, The presence of their delegates, therefore, at the discus sions, is practically necessary The al- lies will decide what they want, will have a chance to hear approval or dis approval from Russia and Germany as progress is made 10 alter those demands or arrangements If they will, and 10 come out of the discussions with some sort of agreement with Russia and Germany, or with the knowledge that no agreement is pos sible
 This situation is one in which the United States would not care to be placed, according to the refusal of this country to attend the conference, but is unavoidable as long as Germany and Russia are theoretically present. Even if the countries are not recog- nized their presence at the confer ence must be. If such presence results in recognition it will be only because, through it, those countries have been able to convince of their willingness to cooperate in the restoration of economic stability to Europe.

REBUILDING BOOM"

| No wet blanket should be throWl
 over the enthusiasm which talk of {
 local building boom arouses. Resi-
 dents of this city should know that the prospect of more houses being built soon is good. Moreover New Britain people should not be back. ward in letting others know that this city will not stand still in the matter of homes.
 But there should be no idea pre- valent that there 4s going to be more than enough houses and apartments right away for all the peopk who want to live here. There should be no idea that rents arc going to come down all at once. Su2b talk, for only prejudice the value a property here at time when property is es- pecially valuable.
 The feeling should prevail, rather, that the "boom' is but sane seizing of present opportunity for good in vestment by those who feel that the times are such that they can release capital and put it into improveme mt Of real estate; that it is the result of the loosenng of credits and the re- turning confidence not in q far distant but rather in an almost immediate fu- ture. The prevalence of this senti- mcnt. for which there Is ample req son, is in line with Roger I5abson's $ prediction made week ago, that New England was the first to turn the corner" and would be apt to be the first part Of the country to reach the goal of something like real prosperi- ty
 One who has no desire to see the returns from real estate fall below the point where those returns represent a fair return on the investment, may still see rent reductions, rents being lowered to a point where they will remain stable and noh subject to fluctuations. The law Of supply and demand was bound to bring these rent reductions. Fortunate it is for tenants that this law is about to get in its work.

CUT THEIR OWN PAY

The report comes from Halifax
 Nova Scotia, that legislators have just
 done their bit toward speeding the
 return to nornalcy but cutting their
 own salaries
 The first thought that comes Is that
 this is a fine spirit to show, one which
 should be followed generally by off,
 cials and representatives who are
 really sincere In ther desire to bring
 better conditions to the part of the country for which they make the laws, It is admitted that the move is novel one Like all new things therefore it remains to be seen whether or not it is wise. Consider the situation. Legislators have to live, like everyone else Men are not so wise that they can afford to study of the problems of their cc Lntry in order to deal with them wisely, The should give as much of their time to this work as it is possi- ble for them to do and even then they will make mistakes. The pay oe ls,- islators as a rule, is not grelt enough for them to take d considerable DOT ton from it and still live comfortably. The temptation would be, were part of the pay of legislators to be taken away, for those legislators devote a considerable part of their time to making money by some other means, giving as an excuse for their lack of devotion of public work the fact that they mdst do something else as the pay is so small. The result would be, | naturally, the passage of unconsider- ed laws or the defeat of measures which, if properly considered, would | benefit the people. One believes, therefore, that a more conscientious study of conditions and a more devot- ed application to economic problems | would do more to bring return to "normalcy" than would q voluntary cut in their own pay.

OLD COAL INDICTMENTS

fu is reported that Attorney Gen eral paughcrty has been considering the dismissal Of indictments pending in the federal courts which operators are said to have declared make im- possible any wage conferences looking 10 end the coal strike, At first glance would clear the way to conference ! between miners and operators would be wise and right But the matter may not be dismissed thus easily,
 The indictments were the out growth Of the soft coal strike of 1919, Ii was charged that q conspiracy originated in 1891 in regard to the interstate wage scale arranged be- tween miners and operators. Some 2a5 coal operators are involved to- gether with union leaders and others. The wrong alleged is the violation Of the sherman antitrust. law, creating monopoly and controlling prices. |,
 Either there is foundation for these indictments or there is not. If the former the indictments should not be dismissed but rather they should be pressed. If there is no foundation for them they should have been dismiss cd long ago. Moreover, if there is no foundation for them why were they returned? Was the purpose political one? If this be the case someone is to blame.
 If these indictments are dismissed to make the way clear for future con- ferences what assurance has the gov crnment that there will be any con ferences, or if conferences are held what assurance will the government have they will not be mere forms on the part of the operators, carried out in order to give color to the reason given for dismissing the indictments?
 A conference at this time is needed. Efforts should be made to bring it about. But there should be no steps taken that will relieve operators or miners or leaders of unions from past culpability unless future good is as- sured that will outweigh the danger of failure to press charges resulting from past transactions.

FRUITFUL SEEDS

We believe American ideals, Amer ican habits and American games are the pest in the world. We believe that the more foreign nations absorb American ways the better off and the happier the people of those nations will be.
 When trying to make a field pro- duce a fine crop it is better to begin with the seed. A better apple orchard may be cultivated if the trees are set out when they are but tiny sprigs than if the trees, full grown, are transplanted.
 will feel there is more and more hope for the world as American ideas and American habits are spread over the face of the earth. Moreover to see those ideas implanted in the very young is especially good.
 In Albania the children are learn ing to play and laugh for the first time in the lives of some of them. They have had a hard time through the war and the years after it's close. They have never had a chance to play. And now they are playing American games, Prisoners Base,' Duck on the Rock" Hop Scotch,' and others, result of chances given them because of the contributions of children to the Junior Red Cross. The American seed is being planted in fruitful soil in a way best to impress children.
