"CreaHng a NeuO Sin :"

Under the caption Creating a
New Sim" Joseph Packard. OF Bal
timore. who has many friends in
this city. has contributed the follow
ing article to the Baltimore Sun;
1T IS well known that when the
eye is fixed constantly on some
nearby object its power to discern
more distant objects is impaired.
Something of this sort seems TO have
happened to the advocates Of the
Eighteenth Amendment and the
Volstead act.
THE most Incorporate prohibi-
Zionist will scarcely contend that the
tee OF beverages containing more
than one-half OF l per cent. OF al
cohol IS a sin under the precepts of
the Bible. on the contrary, the use
of wine as part of the staple diet Of
mankind IS therein recognized with
out disapproval
Drunkenness, under Gods law. Is
a sin; but so is gluttony. Yet some
broad -beamed brother. whose over
fed body, loading the patient earth
bears witness to his gluttony. will
feel that even the temperate use 4
beverages containing more than the
Volstead maximum Of alcohol, nj
though not Intoxicating under the
terms OF the Eighteenth Amendment,
Is If not a sin. violation of law.
THE law writers distinguish be-
tween offences which are violations
OF prob .bitions and offences which
are in themselves wrongs. This dis
tinction is ignored by the prohibi-
tionists. Thus Commissioner Roper
during his term of office made the
preposterous request OF the clergy of
the country to exhort their congre-
cations to aid In the enforcement of
the Volstead act | use the term
preposterous in its strict sense-that

FACTS ARE IN THE TREATIES

fAClS AXE IN THE lHEAilbo
From the Pittsburgh Dispatch.
President Harding's reply to the
Hitchcock resolution asking for de-
tails OF the negotiation Of the four
power pact is, as expected. that
many OF the vital conversations and
discussions took place outside the
formal conferences and that these
are naturally without record. They,
OF course. would be unless stenog-
rRphers had followed the delegates
around to take down every word
they said while IN Washington. and
in that case probably there would
have been no words to record and
possibly no treaties TO consider.
This was pointed out when the
resolution was offered in the Senate.
but it was persisted In. presumably.
because II was designed to produce
an impression rather than facts,
The disclosures regarding the nego-
tiation Of the Versailles treaty and
the evident difficulties attending the
Washington conference have fami-
liarized the public with the obiique
processes OF diplomacy. II is not
always what Is said in the open that
paves the way for negotiation, but
these informal conversations in pri-
vate. Yet where America is con-
cerned II is only tke agreements
openly announced that count. The
President assures Congress and the
country that there we're no con-
cealed understandings and no secret
exchange OF notes; that the entire
agreements are before the Senate
and the nation. These are what
ha e to be considered not the man
euverlng that led to their adoption.
What one country or another want
ell or proposed is one thing; the
treaties themselves are what was de-
cided and what is to be passed on.
The facts TO be judged are in the
treaties.

should be hindmost. About a year
ago l saw in a religious paper an
advertisement of an Ant-Saloon Law
Enforcement Conference to be helJ
in a Baptist Church in Lynchburg,
Va, to- which churches and Sunday
schools were invited to send dele
gates. A violation OF the Volstead
act is, as ] have said, merely a vio-
lation Of the laws of man. Now,
there are a number of offences
which are violations alike OF the
laws OF God and man. I do not re-
member having seen exhortations
TO ministers and their fiocks 10 spy
out and report cases Of murder.
adultery, theft, false witness and
covetousness in its criminal form Of
profiteering.
why Is violation OF the Volstead
act singled out as the chief SIN
which religious people should seek
to eradicate? / think it is because
its advocates feel a sort of pride Of
authorship in creating the new sin
which they hope TO suppress by that
act, the sin OF drinking beverages
containing more than the NOlstead
maximum OF alcohol. 1t springs
from a passionate desire to force
upon other people ones own belief
as 10 disputed questions of religion
or morals. That desire. in other
centuries and N other countries, has
led to crimes against civilization. II
Is to be hoped that the incipient
wave OF this impulse in this coun
try will in time be checked by the
common sense OF the American
pepole.
"I may add that ! rejoice at the
abolition Of the saloons. with their
evil influence, and l hope and be-
lieve that the whole subject OF the
control OF alcoholic beverages will
before long be dealt with as becomes

EWopels Debts to America
(From the Chicago Trlbune) !.

Louis p. Loucheur, former French
minister OF the liberated regions.
said in a talk at Lyons that frankly
he did not believe France ever could
or ever would pay sou of her debt
TO America. That is one thing as a
financial prediction and another
thing as a moral determination.
The United States has not been a
bill collector and IL does not now
show a determination to ring door
bells in Europe until "this little ac-
count has been settled. Americans
are Impatient sometimes when they
are told that they are moral debtors
to Europe. From their viewpoint
this is not the truth. To the United
states the war was an unmixed evil.
II has not and it never will have any
compensations. 1t was complete and
total loss. an ugly chore which the
nation properly avoided pc long as it
could. There was no III will between
this nation and Germany before the
war started. There might not have
been any for a long time II the war
had not started. With the causes OF
the war the United States had moth
ing to do.
An innocent bystander was so hit
with bricks that he had to try Ito
stop the fight. and all he asked. 30
far as he was concerned, was that
IL should stop. That Intervention

people who now regard the United

THE LOOMING COAL STRIKE

From the Providence Journal.
In refusing to accept the invita-.
tion OF President John l. Lewis OF
the United Mine Workers to meet
with union officials on March second
to discuss wages. the bituminous
operators in the Pittsburgh district
and elsewhere indicate that they
welcome the strike set for April
first because they believe that by it
they will be able TO force a reduc-
tion In the emergency war scale
Their action makes the strike we'll
nigh inevitable.
The ono remaining hope Is that
the overnment may find a way TO
a compromise. But this hope Is
slim. Washington Is watchfully
waiting Its silence warrants the
presumption that It feels. as the ma
jority OF observers do. that the de-
msnd Of the bituminous miners for
continuance OF their present wage
scale is questionable. in view OF the
fact that wages in all other basic in
dustries have fallen from the alb
normal war level. For the miners TO
consider themselves as favored
class and to refuse to get into step
with the times shows a spirit that
excites little sympathy and deserves
no public sur .lort.
II coal costs are to be reduced.
wages must come down. In 1913.
the bituminous miners received
, $3.50 a day. In the last two years
they have been receiving between SO
and $3.50 a day, and they have been
producing less than they did nine
years ago. This imitation is too ex-
cessive for comment. II cannot be
continued, as the union miners in
sist. The operators have not been
guiltless In the matter OF increasing
coal prices, but as long as wartime
wages obtain they have a good ex-
cuse for making the public pay
When these wages drop. attention
may be concentrated on wastefu
management, high freight rates and

The mandate is not intended TO
