A BIG INDUSTRY

How many realize that road build
ing is one of the nations largest in
dustries? That is what appears from
the information collected by the U.
S. Bureau of Public Roads. When the
steel and iron industry had in it's
employ 100000 men, the manufacture,
selling and repairing of automobiles
about 100000 there were being en-
ployed in constructing and repair
ing roads in this country approx
mately million men.
In the matter of material used it is
said that the tons of gravel and stone
required in the construction of the
$4,000 miles of federal-aid road COM
pleted or in process are fifty mill
lions, in other words a million car
loads. The magnitude of this is like
ly to increase with the tendency to
build wider roads. or the $500 miles
of completed federal-aid highways
one half is sixteen to eighteen feet
wide, $3.50 of greater and $3.50 of less
width. The needs of the traffic show
the desirability Of wider roads. How
ever, unless the need for these is
great, is in the case of highways
through congested areas, the need of
more good roads at the present width
is likely to prevail for time.

now remain to be brought from for

the bodies in American cemeteries
abroad will be continued, as about
$4,000 of those who died overseas are
not to be brought home but will be

The report rendered to the Legis-
lature at Albany by the Lockwood
committee contains the record of the
most remarkable series of investiga-
lions in New York city since the
work that made Charles Evans
Hughes a national figure. The whole
country watched the progress of the
committee examinations, with Won
der at first, then with amazement.
finally with indignation. The nation
applauded the celebrity with which
the committee obtained the indict-
ment of $50 corporations and 416 per-
sons, secured fines Of more than n
half-millon from POS individuals ana
corporations who entered pleas of
guilty. and sent % persons to Jail.
The great achievement of the COM
mittee doubtless was it's exposure of
the fact that the entire United States
was open to the cxtortionate depre-
dations of merciless material men
and labor leaders,

Republican dissidents and absentees
Senator Underwood Is the leader OF
his party in the Senate, but is known
to be able to carry only minority
of it with him in support of the
treaty. 1t would have been easy for
him to have refused to be delegate
to the Washington conference, and
then t. have united the Democrat
Senators in partisan scheme to
wreck the treaties and the Harding
Administration at the same time
But he chose the manlier and more
patriotic part. His speech on Satur-
day shows that he is willing to place
the national interest above seeming
and temporary party advantage
The position which he has taken
may cost him his leadership in the
Senate. But at that result Oscar
Underwood is man to snap his
fingers, provided that it is merely a
penalty for doing his duty.
His attitude. together with the
powerful argument of Secretary
Hughes that the defeat of the
treaty would be national calam-
ity," should lead the Democratic
Senators to search their hearts. For
passing and empty triumph over
the Republican Party. are they will
ing to make the United States the
very symbol. hereafter, of impotence
in foreign affairs, and also to put the
peace of the world in peril?

WHAT REPUBLICAN PLATFORM
PROMISED

AS there appears to be some mis-
understanding respecting what the
national platform of the Republican
party had to say about the soldier it
may be of interest to read it. Here it
is:
1--WE hold in imperishable remem-
brance the valor and the patriotism
of the soldiers and sailors of America
who fought in the great war for hui
man liberty, and we pledge ourselves
to discharge to the fullest the obliga-
tions which a grateful nation justly
should fulfill, in appreciation of the
services rendered by its defenders on
sea and land.
Republicans are not uLgraetful.
Throughout their history they have
shown their gratitude toward the ma
tons defenders. Liberal legislation
for the care of the disabled and in
firm and their dependents has ever
marked Republican policy toward the
soldier and sailor of all the wars in
which our country has participated.
The present Congress has appropriate
ed generously IOr the disabled OF the
world War. The amounts already
applied and authorized for the fiscal
year 1920-21 for this purpose reached
the stupendous sum of s1,1S0,5 71 1893.
This legislation is significant of the
party's purpose in generously caring
for the manned and disabled men of
the recent war"
FROM fhic II c oxidor{ fGof tho Pc
publican party is keeping it's promise.

OUR coUNTRY'S CLAIM

The objections that have been
raised against the claim of the Unit
ed States to be reimbursed for the
maintenance Of it's soldiers on the
Rhine are an unpleasant cause of
controversy. Those troops were left
there to accommodate the Allies and
at their request. This country had
no desire to police Germany. Under
the terms of the Versailles Treaty
provision was made for reimbursinG
this country for such an expenditure.
We did not ratify the treaty but
that did not obliterate the fact that
but for America there would nave
been no Versailles Treaty. We have
since made a treaty with Germany
in which it Is specifically provided
for Americas rights according to the
terms Of the Versailles Treaty. Now
the Allies contend that they are not
bound by our treaty with Germany,
as we say we are not bound by the
treaty Of Versailles. that we have no
rights under it; that we have no
right to dispose Of the sequestered
German property in this country
and turn the proceeds to the account
Of the $241. 100000. They regard the
claims under the Versailles Treaty a
first mortgage and our claim under
the Berlin Treaty a second.
It is gratifying to learn Of an &C.
casional note in the foreign press to
the effect that the United States has
a moral right to be reimbursed for
its share in the expense Of policing
the Rhine. 1t is also pleasing to con-
slider the likelihood of an ultimate
recognition Of our just claim on the
part Of those who wish to do BUSH
ness with Uncle Sam. He is in po-
sition to resent trickery in technical
tiles and to make that resentment
felt. Yet it Is unpleasant to feel that
the controversy is calculated to create
unreasonable prejudice against us.
Woodrow Wilson assumed grave re-
eponsibility for the future of our for
eign relations when he so intricately
tied up the Versailles Treaty with
the League and rather than accept
any notifications of the latter
doomed the pact so far as this coun-
try is concerned,

all the lnsinuations and rumors and
labored innuenduCG with which GER
tain Senators have been veXing their
righteous souls. There has been a
demand that the background" of he
treaty should be cleared up. Well,
the Secretary of State has now paint
cd in the background, as well as the
foreground and the middle distance.
There was no terrible secret lying be-
hind the plain words of the treaty,
no asian mystery" The American
delegation had not been a set of
tricked simpletons. They had simply
proceeded to do their best to carry
out an established American policy

had concerned itself before the Wash

the tit opportunity came they sue

aim to secure. So that the final
achievement of putting an end to the

was largely the work of the American

There is unmistakabl BILE significance
in the fact that Secretary Hughes's
letter was addressed to Senator In

need of making an especial appeal to
Democratic Senators to ratify the
