EDITORIAL DIGEST

the announced purpose OF his visit:
the Baltimore American rather holds
that "it is probable that for most
people the greater interest of his
visit will consist of the opportunity
of seeing and hearing remarkable
personality, one of the most strik-
ing figures of the drama of the
world war. Whether he is still of
the same opinion as when he visited
this country in early manhood that
the United States has no general
ideas and no good coffee whatever
he says he will come as an honOred
and exceptionally Interesting guest
and an unusual example Of an in
domitable spirit"
The people of the United States
will be glad to hear at first hand
the French side of the present Euro
pean\ case. the Jersey City Journal
insists. because "in their final judg-
ment the people of the United States
want to be fair, and a breach in the
long standing friendship between
this country and France. especially
should it come through misunder-
standings of motives. would be cause
i"r deep regret" The New York
Globe in turn is convinced that "if
Clemenceau can convince Americans
that the French people are neither
mili;ariSts nor imperalists he Viii
have done much to reawaken the
dormant friendship between the two
nations" The former premier comes
ITO answer in the house of his
friends exactly that charge. the
Hartford Times feels. and his per-
sonality and his character are sure
to command respectful hearing for
his message

Debts and Disarmament.

There is sanity and hope in the pro
pusal advanced on behalf of Great
Britain by Lord Robert Cecil and ac-
cepted on behalf of France by NJ. de
JGuvenal that the question of debts
reparations and disarmament are all
bound up together and must be dis
cussed and adjusted together before
the economic life Of Europe can be re-
stored. Conferences at Genoa, The
Hague and elsewhere failed chiefly be
cause discussion of some one or an
other of these essential problems was
lebarred. \ new conference. at which
the agenda will be wide open to all
related matters. may be productive of
beneficial results.
Apparently France has become con
vinced that the question of repara-
tons cannot be settled alone and on its
merits. She has been willing to con
cede that debt adjustment might well
be a companion piece tn reparations
collections. but in the past she has not
conceded that disarmament had any
bearing on the adjustment of debts.
II has been the view of the rest OF the
world that no one of these problems
could be separated from the others
Now that France subscribes to this
view. the way ought to be open to rea!
accomplishment in the direction OF
stabiliZation and recovery.
Lord Roberts declarations that
"since the problem is worldwide other
nations besides those Immediately in,
volved must accept their share of the
responsibility for the decision" ap
parently is aimed at the United States
There should be no uneasiness on that
score There never has been any dis
position in this country to withhold
help from Europe when certain indis
pensable preliminary things which
Europe must do for herself have been
done. If this apparent agreement as
to program which has been reached
at Geneva is followed by the sort OF
action which it opens the way for
American sympathy. which is now
massive, will become active and con
tributive.

The Eastern Horizon Brightens.

Appreciably lighter are the clouds
that during the past few days have
0en gathering in the near east, clouds
that have menaced the peace of the
world. British intransigence is giving
way TO adjustment. Conference is pro-
posed and discussion now proceeds at
Paris as to the means Of bringing il
about. The Turks. having delivered
their demands, are waiting on the east
ern side OF the Dardanelles. The Rus
SLAMS. after declaring their alliance
with ken2al. are officially saying that
their AID to him will be moral and not
military. The United States. suggested
as a possible mediator has declared
through the White House that it will
not be drawn into the situation. and.
in effect. that its activity will be limit
ed solely to the protection of Ameri-
cans in the zone of trouble while Eu-
rope works out it's own settlement.
These. in brief, are the high points
of the situation which at the close Of
last week menaced Europe with an
other conflict on large scale. Eng
land has been refused the cooperative
aid of France and Italy in a campaign
to hold the Turks hack from Constan-
tinople. and now, realizing that with
out home support for military meas
ures, and with no guarantees Of as
sistance from her allies of the late
war. the government at London is, by
characteristically measured but dis
tnct degrees. modifying its original
position. 1t is adjusting to condition
Demanding either independent war
against the Turks and their allies or
settlement by diplomacy
The officially stated position of So
s,et Russia is particularly interesting.

Tariff Laws.

The f'ordney tariff law is the sixth
enactment of that kind in thirty-two
years. THIS is the record:
Qn The Mckinley law. Passed in the
latter part of 1890. Gave place to the
German Wilson law late in the sum-
mer of 1894. Was in operation about
four years. Cost the republicans the
House in 1880, and two years later
they lost both the Congress and the
presidency.
q, The German Wilson law. Passed
in the late summer o: 1894. Gave place
to the Dingley law in 1897. Was in
operation about three years. Cost the
democrats the House in 1894. and two
wears later they lost both the Congress
and the presidency.
l3, The Dingley law. Passed in the
fall of 1897. Gave pace to the Payne
Aldrich law in 1909. Was in operation
about thirteen years. durin- all '"f
which time the republicans controlled
both Congress and the presidency. The
most satisfactory and successful tariff
law ever in operation.
(N The Payne Aldrich law. Passed
in 1909. Gave place t" the Underwood
law in 1913. Cost the republicans the
House in 1910, and two years later
they lost both the Congress and the
presidency.
90 The Underwood law. Passed in
1918. The democrats won in the next
years congressional elections, and
again in 1916 in both the congressional
and the presidential elections. Has
been in operation nine years.
(6, The Fordney law. Will ii cost
the republicans the elections this year
and the elections two years hence?
Guessing is free to all. though un-
usually risky.

Good and Great News.

4 special to The Star from Pitts
burgh. published yesterday, said:
This district is practically free from
. labor trouble ttday. as the railroads
entering here have reduced the effects
of lhc rail sfrie to a minimum. Within
few days employment is expected to
exceed normal. and mounting pay rolls
are being reflected in expanding re-
tail business. Merchants in coal
mining towns are liberal buyers. and
the larger stores in the cities are feel
ing the effects of shopping excursions
by miners families in nearby dis
tricts. Iron and steel production is
output is slightly behind production
Of pig iron, but additional plant capac-
ity is being made active every day. 1t
is not question Of selling production,
but Of forcing output to a point where
demand can be met.
Good news. and may it not be called
also great news? Pittsburgh is a rail-
road center, a soft coal center, a gen.
can show so prompt a response to the
settlement Of the recent strikes, why
not other localities? Why, indeed.
should not reports come from all quar-
ters Of new conditions, improved con-
ditions and rapid return to nor
malcy?
And yet we should not forget the
hundreds of millions Of wages lost,
the hundreds of millions. in the way
of dividends on invested capital un-
earned, the surge of bad feeling that
swept over the country everywhere

The dispatch from Moscow states not
only that the soviet will confine its
support of kenai to moral encourage
ment and possibly the supply of muni-
tions in case of AN advance upon Con-
Stantinople, but that the leaders have
decided to take no steps that might
bring them into Il real war with Great
Britain. The text of the dispatch is
enligh:eninG:
Some of the Russian leaders declare
ConstantiHople should be Russian. but
next to. that they prefer ii 10 be Turk
iSh but strongly influenced from Mos
COW. Nevertheless, all Russia is tired
OF war. and the leaders are pledged to
the task of reconstruction Of the
country. which they do not wish to
hinder by new international strife.
Here, is Il new expression of an old
aspiration. that Of Russia fur access to
warm seas" For generations the gov
ernment of Russia has east longing
eyes upon the straits through which
flow the waters of the Black sea. In
the early days of the great war, when
Russia was seemingly dominant on the
eastern front. when the steam roller
was numbering forward. before Hin
denburg organized the campaign that
eliminated in the crushing Russian
defeat at Tannenberg, these hopes
We're frankly declared. Russia was tt
go straight south. and Constantinople
was to become orthodox, with Santa
Sofia as the great center of the Greek
Church. But this vision dissolved
when the collapse came. and when
bolsheviSm gained aScendanCy it was
forgotten by the western world. Ii
seems, however. to be still an animal
ing principle in the formation of the
foreign policy Of Russia. BolSheviSn
has not changed the essential aspira
ton of the ration.
In this simple statement from Mos
COW lies both reinsurance and warn
ing. Russia will not at this time be
come a militant factor for the disturb
ance of the European peace. but Il
will not cease to intrigue to gain con
troll of the straits and of the Turkish
cal pitaI, upon which the hopes of al
Russia are centered. In that intrigue
will lie the elements of continua
strain and trouble Tor the western

To keep us going right.
But still the going seemed so rough
We found five feet We're not enough
To solve the human problems tough
That gather. left and right.
But books keep pouring from the press
To ease humanity's distress.
Until we feared slight excess
OF authors old and new.
We looked for consolation sweet
In phraseology so neat
Instead of reading just five feet
We read a mile or two.
And still the problems all profound
In grim persistence hung around.

Did very little good.

We faced our toll with purpose strong
And happily We logged along
And did the best we could.
