ton attached to it is mild and mean
ingless when compared with the
earlier proposals and threats OF the
reservationists. Drastic amendments
were showed into the discard by the
committee, and it is certain that
when and if they are offered on the
floor of the Senate they will fare no
hetter.
The action of the Foreign Relations
Committee and the indicated temper
of the Senate give hope that within
month the whole group of Conference
treaties will be approved and that
they will stand substantially as writ
ten by the parley and sent to the
Senate by the President. The Nation
is in agreement with President Hard
ing that reservations are unnecessa-
ry. The sentiment that pressed for
the calling of the Conference. backed
It throughout and approved it day by
day, asks but one thing OF the Senate.
That is, that the treaties be sane
toned without taking from them
anything of their spirit or their pow
ers that make for peace in the future.

POLITICAL COMPANY ONE
KEEPS

It might as we'll be admitted at the
outset that if one would have a COM
prehensive idea respecting the reac-
tons of the individual in politics, en-
vironment, party standards and hab-
it's should be taken into account.
Here is Cordell Hull, for instance.
who by and of himself is said to be
a pretty sensible fellow, here he is
saying: 1.-The American people were
led over the precipice to panic con-
Citions and terrific business demon
alzation by the national Republican
leadership from 1918 to 1921" Then
as if this were not enough to tickle
the ears he likens Senator Lodge to
Catiline and Aaron Burr. Three
cheers for a composite of Thomas
Jefferson, Andrew Jackson and Will
liam Jennings Bryan drinking in
with inordinate gulpings such sweet
sounding phrases!
Hull happened to be in Congress at
the time he speaks of; he knows bet
ter than to say that; he knows it to
be untrue. He knows the Wilson ad-
ministration had control of the exc
cutive departments until March 1921,
also of the boards and commissions,
including the Reserve Board, and
knowing these facts, knowing also
that intelligent people know them he
nevertheless would deceive the igno-
rant because it isn't for the interests
of the Democratic party-as the pol
ticians see ito have the truth
known.
In other words Cordell Hull is now
to be known by the political company
he is keeping. So would it be with
most men subjected to the conditions
and requirements to which Mr.. Hull
is exposed. The voters might as we'll
get this straight. A man may be an
excellent citizen, his ideals may be
high but if he is placed where he
must cooperate with those engaged in
promoting the political ambitions of
the Democratic party at this time he
should be expected tc-cooperate
with the Democrats.

TROTZkY'S ARMY

Trotzky's statement to the effect
that should Russia's demands at the
economic conference fail the "red"
army would take the field has led to
consideration OF the possibilities. Ac-
oording TO recent official information
received at Washington this army
consists of 100000 combatant troops
Including 100000 Cheka or extra
ordinary forces.
These reports confirm the opinion
that II lacks greatly in effectiveness.
The dependence is almost wholly on
infantry. wanting artillery, tanks and
effective airplanes. 1t is said that not
more than 1900 pieces Of the larger
mobile artillery is in good condition
The troops are poorly clothed and
have many models OF rifles. They are
being fed for by that method only
may the army be kept recruited. The
difficulty of obtaining food for 1t,
however. increases. This condition
may lead TO aggression as the last
resort. The disposition Of this army
10 fight outside Russia is doubted by
good authorities. Meanwhile that
Genoa Conference has been delayed.

THAT SHIPPING SUBSIDY

A fact that has been quite clearly
demonstrated is that the prospective
good times for American shipping are
not Undertaking., and there are 9TH
crs besides the President and the
Shipping Board who are convinced
that they will not arrive, that our
shipping will not measure up to the
standard required except through the
aid of a subsidy or its equivalent. A
bill that Is to be presented to Con-
gress provides about th!rty-two mill
lion dollars annually, to be set aside
from customs receipts. fer a subsidy.
Other countries, directly or indi-
rectly give encouragement to their
taken kindly to shipping subsidies.
This, however, should not deter US if
Il be made plain that the need exists.
As the result of wartime efforts,
the determination. to produce regard
less of cost. and Abe subsequent in
efficient handling of the situation by
the Democratic administration the
present administration inherited in
its Shipping Board and some ten mil
lion tons OF steel ships 4 tremendous
problem. About half this tonnage Is
said 10 be unfit for use. The Gov
eminent is wise enough not to want to
attempt to manage the rest of it. Not
outstanding all the boosted prun-
ing OF expense the Government does
not appear to find the shipping bust
ness a paying one. 1t wants to sell,
but with shipping at its present low
ebb there is no demand. Some tell us
that II this proposed subsidy shall
meet with approval the Government
will be able to get twice as much for
its ships as 1t otherwise could. Be
this as 1t may 1t is but reasonable to
suppose that an assurance of fair
chance at a profit would be an in
ducement to buyers.
This much should be remembered:
American shipping will not be found
carrying our flag to all Parts of the
world. our surplus will not go in
American bottoms to all parts of the
world unless private enterprise shall
conclude 1t is a profitable business
Theories and arguments will not even
dent this proposition. We are face to
face with II and what do we propose
20 do about It?

Executives of trunk line railroads
object to the decision c. the Interstate
Commerce Commission awarding the
New England roads preferential rates
because Of their maintenance of ex-
pensive terminal facilities. They have
decided to make test of the award
to the n. Y, n. H. G. II. Railroad and
associated lines. There is good evil
dence that the decision of the Com
mission was just one. If so the
sooner the railroad managers resolve
to do their best under it's conditions
the better off all will be. On the 9TH
er hand as the Commission has taken
over the fixing of rates and states
are not permitted to do so there
should be every assurance of fair
play.

sTRAWs OF A GENTLE BREEZE

Straws showing Improvement in
business conditions are not flying in
a March windS rather a gentle breeze
seems to be moving them in the direc-
ton of better times. For instance the
market report from Sioux City, Iowa,
is that hogs touch new high mark
for the season at $10.65.
There have been Of late advances
in wheat and cotton, railroad ship
ments have been increasing, there has
been an increase in Oil production,
the price of U. S. Steel, which was
down to 70a a few months ago is
quoted at over "a. The commercial
agencies report better conditions,
money is plentiful on good security
and the rates are not high, and there
is less complaint of unemployment
than existed few weeks ago.
These facts are encouraging. One
swallow doesn't make Summer any
more than a stray Robin makes a

hopefulness that affairs are started on

TO reforest a tract OF 5000 acres, have
ordered 100000 trees and propose to
ret out zoo acres this Spring. And
while this will be a mos. noteworthy
memorial II should become a perma-
nent source of revenue for the re-
lief OF the service men or their de-
pendents. The members OF the Le-
gion are planning to make a real &C.
casion OF this planting. and will hike
TO the place prepared to camp out
during the work of reforesting. And
when all is said and done, it will be
found that this kind of spirit exem-
plified by the ex-service men will
more quickly win support than the
trucuient spirit Of dictatorial mes
