FRENCH RESERVATIONS

The sigh of relief lleaved by the
American public as the arms con-
ference treaties. emerge from the
Senate may possibly be premature.
Ratification by the other powers is
not yet an accomplished fact. They
have been waiting, apparently, to
see what the United States would
do. They have realized that if the
treaties failed in the Senate, there
would be no use in their acting OF:
them at all, and also that any
material reservations made by the
Senate might. change tkei rown
attitude toward the treaties.
It appears now that there will be
no difficulty abroad except possibly
in France. Great Britain seems
satisfied, and can make the treat
les effective by a. mere "order liz
privy council Japan likewise can
ratify by action Of her small AMI
exclusive council of peers. and is
expected to do so. In France, how
ever, the treaties have to be passed
on by a legislative chamber CORES
ponding to our Senate, and the
French deputies. are in a truculent
mood as regards America and IN
ternational affairs in general. TAX
ing their cue from American at
tenpts to attach reservations TO
the Versailles treaty, and from the
Brandegee reservation to the pres
ent four-power Pacific treaty,
French leaders are threatening to
assert the same right in giving their
advice and consent" Some Of them
threaten not only reservations but
amendments. which would require
reference back to the other powers
for acceptance.
So change comes over the spirit
of treaty-making. 1t is not so SIM
PIE a thing as it used to be, when
any government could make an
agreement with another govern
ment and depend on its going
through without interference. On
the whole this is a good thing, but
there are dangers in it. open
diplomacy" admirable in theory
and spirit, may yet become SO open
and easily obstructed that it can't

AFRAID OF CONGRESS.

Theodore II. Price, editor Of
Commerce and Finance, quotes the
head OF a big commercial house in
New York City as saying, a short
time ago that the business future
looks bright enough, if the law
makers at Washington would only
let business alone to work out its
own salvation" According TO his
REV, business expected nothing
actiFely helpful from congress, but
weuA be vel satisfied if con-
gress would only refrain from de-
ing harm to the natural process of
economic Reconstruction. He re-
ferred with special disapproval to
bonus and tariff legislation.
This attitude seems to be pretty
general. It shows at least a cred
table and self-respecting spirit of
optimism among the business men
OF the country. It hardly speaks
SO well for congress, when the
benefits expected from that body
are put negatively. It shows, too,
remarkable change, in the busi-
ness worlds tariff views That as

sdent. should now be. down at
Washington eagerly clamoring for
higher protection on their goods.
There is actually very little of that.
Most manufacturers and merchants
seen, frankly worried. lest congress
do too much for them in that re-
gard. They realize how the war
has changed conditions and upset
old tariff standards. They fear the
loss of still more export trade if
imports are unduly discourage.

TIRE GOAL OF COAL

AS thea approaching crisis in the
coal Industry looms larger; on the
horizon, the presentation of facts
about the industry is bound to di-
siide itself into one-sided discussions

Of the public. If the whole truth
were fully presented in every case
the pubic might arrive at a defi-
nite and helpful solution. AS it is,
however there is much confusion
and Inevitable beclouding OF issues.

New London. Conn, April l.
King Alcohol was vigorously as

seaport even with more visor tAan

under the banner of the Washing

was kept aloft for many years.
But the time came when the ban
ncr was trailed in the dust and in

In those days there were many
