WHAT DELAWARE WOMEN WANT

YIyHERE is a lot OF wise talk about what Delaware
Il Il women want ID politics. though they want any
thing different there from what they want anywhere
else Women are not so distinct selfish ask
peculiar favors for their sex although they do
want sex equality and Justice.
Women want in the main, Just what men want; a
living home. safety order and stability JUS
tice chance develop and to give opportunities to
our children. freedom, nation strong and honored
and Independent.
In order to have all this Delaware women know
there must be party of wise craftsmanship at the
helm OF the ship state. To bring about the above
blessings women want business and business ad
ministration in the government.
Women want protection for American products and
American industries business prosper and that
we may have money enough in circulation this side
of the water to keep our homes comfortable. Women
do not want to encourage Americans to spend their
money for foreign products-as the Democratic low
tariff will do.
Women want economy in government business
Women want stability. A 'house builded upon the
sands or home resting uncertain business sup
port is a woman's idea of misery. Women want that
Republican soundness and confidence in which atmos-
phere business prosperity is built.
Women want our government free to 90 ahead inde-
pendently to mind own business without having to
be drafted into police service every European quar-
rel
Women want that settlement of differences around
table instead battlefield which
was assured by the Limitation OF Arms Conference
In general and in detail want just what
want-good roads a full dnner-pail The Delaware
woman is a pretty good pal the Delaware man and

remedy the return TO decent living

adjustment Of relations with mine
workers OF Great Britain that will
prevent the export Of coal from one
country to the other for "strikebreak-
ing" use. This is obviously a move
to tighten the strangle-hold of the
miners on the nation-and will be
so regarded by the American people.
While the need for importation of
coal to meet strike-created short
age may now be remote. the attempt
to make such a movement impos-
sible by across-the-sea agreement is
not to be dismissed as meaningless.
1t suggests purpose to complete
domination Of Americas fuel sup
ply. and therefore implies ugly
threat.
Instead of working out future
strategy for collective struggle, the

thoughts TO finding some other

At the head of the non-signatory
power Mr.. Wilson did. however. ad-
wise the signatories at Sevres to ex-
pei the Turk from Europe. They
almost needed his advice. The Sui
tan was left at first with only a
shadowy sovereignty in Constantt
nople. He was to be a vaticanized
Caliph. But this solution caused
a ferment among the Moslem inhab-
itants of the British and French de-
tendencies. They saw their relig-
ious leaders Inundated. They
clamored for a restoration Of the
Caliph's temporal power. France
yielded first to this pressure. Great
Britain succumbed to It with more
reluctance.
France. Great Britain and Italy,
the major Allied signers of the
Sevres treaty. agreed last March to
bring the Turk back TO Constanu-
nople, to recognize the Sultan's full
sovereignty there and to extend Il
over the greater part of eastern
Thrace. The powers which defeated
Turkey have a right to make their
own peace settlement. What excuse
have we for interfering? Are we,
who refused TO fight Turkey, to say
to those who conquered her: stop;
we forbid the return of the Turk to
European soll?"
Merely to state this proposition
exposes its political righteousness
and extravaganza.

The French Cabinet unanimously

cifc policy. which. Invested of diplo-
matte persiflage. is let Kemal and
his army into Europe. = One step to-
ward the carrying out of this policy
is the withdrawal of French troops
from the neutral zone, especially
from Tchanak, the narrowest part
of the Dardanelles. the point to
which the Turkish commander is
directing his advance and from
which he could most easily cross into
Thrace and to the outer defences of
Constantinople.
In this situation there is grim
reminder of the centuries old rival
ries between France and England.
France has as her supporters Italy
and her Balkan allies. Jugo-Slavia
and Rumania. She is, too, in align
ment with the Moscow Soviet as a
defender OF Renal and of his re-
establishment at Constantinople.
She has taken over the part of the
pacifist and the advocate of moder-
alton and caution-the part which
Great Britain had when France call
ed for bayonets to enforce her de-
mands against Germany. There is
the situation reversed when Great
Britain finds the fruits of her own
victories in the Near East threat
ened.
But back to this refusal to Join
Great Britain in stopping Renal at
the Turkish Straits lies more than a
spirit of retaliation for British op-
position in Western Europe. There
is the whole question of Frances
own interest in the Near East and
the danger of loss of all the decid-
ed advantages which she has gained
there since the war. When Great
Britain weakly backed Greece
France turned to Renal as the win
ner. Scarcely had he established
himself at the Nationalist capital
than France sent to Angora Bouil-
lion. her ablest student of the Near
East and most skillful handler Of
her Moslem affairs.
Bouillion was successful beyond
Frances expectation. He negotiat-
ed a treaty with Kemal. ostensibly
for strengthening the northern bor-
der of Syria, by which France OBJ
tanned part of Cilicia and of a con-
troverted part of Syria. She got
