Near East Settlement

nlzcd, for instance, by both the great
political parties in their national plot
forms during the late campaign-there
arc the expectations aroused and tho
obligations involved through accepting
'hc help that the campaigns in the
Near East gave to the results in the
final victory. There is good deal Of
evidence that it WAS military expedi-
cncy which determined the limitation
OF Americans part in the war to the
fighting in Italy and France We made
no distinction among the Allies who
were banded together on our side
against the Central Powers. Tho jap
ancsc, who had ceased active fighting
before We went in, were considered t..
be our associates, as were tho lesser
powers, because all were fighting Ger
mans and Austrians on various fronts.
1t was one war, and it is a fact that.
America could not receive the aid of
thcsc different associates without in
curing measure Of responsibility to-
ward all Of them to see that the largest
measure of justice were done to each
and every one after the victory Amer
ica owes it to the fourteen nations who
signed the Treaty of Sevrcs as allies
to contribute her part in any revision
of that treaty, so as to try to bring
about such a settlement as shall be as
fair as possible to these fourteen ma.
tions. These fourteen nations consti-
tute "thc Allies and to them the
United States held the relation Of "as-
sociatc.' The word associate" as thus
used is. after all, the equivalent Of
ally.
Now is the time for the United States
10 exert its influence upon the deliber-
ations. We have helped to work out
the basis of q lasting peace in the Far
East. More important still is just
settlement in the Near East, because
the Near East has been a prolific
source Of wars. The discussions arc
now under way. and the settlements
involving our interests, our allies and
the very objects Of the war should not
be made with our government outside
Of the council halls.

The Near East Discussions
1rounds tor Americas Participation in Impending

olr: The American Chamber of Com
mcrcc for the Lcvant. with hcaduar-
tcrs at Constantinople, representing
important American commercial in
'crests' has sent cable urging that
the United States government nartic;-
pate in the discussions which dcter-
mine the settlements in the Near East.
hkc"'se, the representatives. of tho
various American benevolent and cdu-
catlonal organizations in tho Near
East, such as the American Board of
Missions, the Y. NJ. c. A., the Y. w C.
"A. and the colleges, have cabled urc;nc
that in order to safeguard American
interests our government insist upon
Americas participating in the pro-
lected treaty with Turkey. It is true
that our commercial and philanthropic
interests. by themselves, give sufficient
reason for Americas taking part in
the Near East settlements. Our in
terests and investments there arc sec
ond to those of no other power.
So thoroughly arc our interests in-
volvcd in what goes on out there that
America has had TO object to settle
ments made without consultation Of
the American viewpoint, and all along
those who realized the impossibilty
OF Americas considering herself un-
concerned with the Near East settle
ments have pointed out that our GOV
ernment, having failed to participat te
in the treaty Of Sevres, nevertheless
has found it necessary TO protest
vigorously against the decisions that
were made in that treaty.
On November "a, 1890, under the
Wilson Administration, and again on
February 10, 1921, notes were reported
to have been sent from Washington
to the British government objccting
decidedly to various provisions Of the
agreements reached by the European
powers. The present Administration,
also, found it necessary to object to
the provisions Of the Near East set
Element and on March %, 1921, MIR.
Hughes was reported by the press to
have taken the stand In note to the
European powers that the consent Of
the United States must be had to the
provisions of treaty which defined
the rights and obligations Of the vari-
Gus European powers. In this con-
nection the point cannot be too strongly
emphasized that the United States gov
crnmcnt should not boast Of her splen-
did isolation during the discussions, if
she finds herself forced to intervene
after the discussions have resulted in
decisions.
We have an obligation moreover to tn G
nations that are concerned in the Near
East settlement. Aside from the moral
obligations to the Armenians-recog-

An Artisan Spokesman
Says Labor Is Not TO Be Treated
Like Butter and Eggs

Days Labor Is Not TO Be Treated
Like Butter and Eggs
10 the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir | have been interested in read
ing the correspondence in your paper
concerning the building wage scale and
nave been Impressed by the one-sided- :
ness of the arguments The gist Of
the argument thus far advanced is that
because living expenses have come
down somewhat, the pay of the artisan
should likewise be reduced In other
words, man and his labor are To he
treated exactly as sugar, eggs or but
Ter. lhls contention proceeds from 2
wrong and selfshly conceived premise
A man IS human being and should hc
treated as such. He is entitled ia all
ne can get and is possessed of cor
tam amount of ambition and agrees
siVeness and has hopes and prospects
for himself and family beyond the DOS
slbllltles of the fuctuating prices OF
sugar and cheese. He has a life tn 1.-Two

eternally grinding out profits for his
employers, the while wearing himself
out rotating in the same circle with out
making any advance.
During the war we heard much about
"the dignity Of labor" what it was do
ing to help win the war; its loyalty. its
readiness to buy Liberty bonds,' etc.
True, the men made money during this
time, but the rate Of pay per hour was
the same as before the war, the extra
money accruing only as the result of
overtime. Also. during these months.
the artisan had his eyes opened as to
the enormous profits being made by the
employers, and was made to see how
for years he had been exploited and
cajoled into piling up shckcls for the
firm while at the same time any re-
quest for an advance of few cents in
pay Or Improvement in working condi-
tons had been met with prompt de-
NAL and often open Defiance
In all the discussion of this subject
haven't seen any indication Of a will
ingness on the part Of the employers
to rellnqulsh part of their profits,
save in one case this week, and this
caused 4 smile and a wonder a to lust

would suggest that some Of these
contractors who have been reapinr
profits anywhere from 40 to 800 per
cent from the labor Of these men,
whom they openly defy, but in private
admit they cannot get along without,
would consent TO be satisfied with a
reasonable profit If, as they contend,
the cost of living has come down for
the worker, it has also come down for
the employer.
~: each firm figure its jobs honest
~ and fairly. allowing for reasonable
profit, and submit just and legitimate
but not q prearranged-estim

This sounds bit Utopian in this day

revelations Of the past few years.

An avalanche of beaded gowns has
descended upon our summer. Steel
beads % the white georgette evening
frock are favorite thought with Paris.
So are crystal beads. But why men.
ton names in season when every bead
and bugle and sequin of every possible
tint and substance is out taking the
air.
If you don't want to bead your crepe
or chiffon the first way out is by way
of the lace path. Lace-trimmed gowns
have enjoyed an increasing popularity
this summer and none is more popular
than the white combined with black
Chantilly or other fine weave.
We are showing today charming
version of this costume in the White
chiffon model where the black lace
forms the tight undersleeves and a
ripping train at the side. This train
Is really a development Of the band OF
Chantilly set under the bodice. and at
the point where 1t begins the cOrsagt
is cut away into an inverted v. The
girdle of black satin terminates in q
flower Of gold tissue.
