A hUMILIATING BAcKDoWN

The proposal Of changes in the
Sevres Treaty recalls the virtual dis
missal Of F.. s. Montagu from the
post OF secretary for India on the
ground that he had permitted the
Indian Government to publish a
warning that the treaty must be
modified in the interests of the Turks.
In a recent address defending his
policy Mr.. Montague declared:
Il recognized that his maiosty's
Government had got to take wider
facts into consideration than the in
forests of India alone: that these
views could only he put forward for
consideration, although | venture to
think. when YOU reflect that Turkey
was beaten in tho main by Indian SOL
Giers, that India is entitled to a pre-
dominating voice in the consideration
Of such questions. It would also have
leen seen that told the Government
of India that one of their terms-the
religious suZerainty of the caliph

tor in which, in my opinion, the Allies
could interfere, bat was religious
matter between the king of the Hejaz
and the king Of Mesopota mia and the
sultan at tonsta ntinOpIe, and that
tho prime minister had agreed and
had assured the Indian Ma homedans
that there would ho nothing in the
treaty to prevent such an agree

The suggested changes in the
Treaty indicate that the British Gov
'rnmont has come around TO Mon
taCu's point Of view and LLOYD
he made in 1917 to rid Europe of the
Turk. He evidently has concluded
that can't be done and keep peace in
the British dominions. Accordingly
Europe Is to be asked to endure
Turkish misrulo. The proposed
changes would give up a part of
Thrace to Turkey and restore Turkish
sovereignty over Armenia under tho
guardianship of tho League of Ma
tons, n which a Turk would give
about as much heed as a famishcd
person would to n treatise on diete-
tics.
In this arrangement there is humil-
iation for Europe, seed Of future
trouble and the sacrifice of peoples
no the misrule Of the Turk. Armenia
is not thought to have oil or coal or
much else that the big powers want,
otherwise their conscience might
trouble them more in giving this to
the Turks and they might be inclined
10 accept the burden of n mandate
over that unhappy land. That part
OF the plan which would have the
Dardanelles under control that would

| To say that Ncwberryism is an is

money was required 20 make New

terms with Henry Ford, Just so other
candidates rs well known as Ford arc
seeking to bludCeon their opponents
out of the race by forcing them to

the voter is ignorant and that he

Hotel Prices

cortland Press Herald)
At a meeting of some of Mainc'.i
travelling statesmen the other day a
committee was named to see what
could be done about securing a re-
ductiOn in the prices Maine hotels
are charging. These men seemed to
think the hotel prices ale too high.
We are inclined to believe that the
travelling mon know what they are
talking about. Maine hotels charge
as much for rooms. in some cases, as
the hotels in New York are charging.
The accommodations they offer and
means to be compared with those to
be obtained in New York.
Most of the hotels in Maine, par
ticularly those in the cities, arc he .
ing run upon the European plan. This
has brought about the establishment
of great many so-Callcd lunch
rooms All of the cities in Maine
have a great many of them, many
moro. VIC think, than can really do a
satisfactory business. Hotel guests,
where the European plan prevails,
patronizc these lunch rooms in pla ce
of the hotel dining rooms. Quite like
~ this results in loss of revenue for
the hotels and may account for the
higher charges for rooms.
There arc several city hotels in
Maine. not in Portland whore the
American plan prevails. These par
tic,par hotels are crowded all tho
year through, so that it is always
necessary to engage accommodations
in advance. Evidently they are pros
porous and doing we'll under this sys-
tom and, if they do well. there should
be no reason why others could not.
One thing which Maine hotel pro-
prietors should do for their own in
torest, is to let it he known that in
the Summer time. when there arc
many strangers in the State, there
will be mo jumping" of prices be-
cause here happens to be a rush Of
business. Tourists complain about
this sort of treatment. They are
willing to pay whatever may he the
prevailing rates but they are un-
willing to he made to pay extra high
rates for mediocre accommodations,
merely because there happens to be n
great demand for rooms.
