SEE DRIFT TOWARD WAR
British Newspapers Reflect Rapidly
Growing symptoms of New Euro
pean Strike.


London, Aug. 31.-The English
newspapers appear today exhibiting
the familiar signs and symptoms of
rapidly rising European war fever
due to the Italian demands upon
Greece. Flaring headlines tell of the
ultimatum served upon the Athens
government, of the rumors of troop
mobilization, and of reported secret
orders to the Italian feet. From
Athens comes the reply of the Greek
government seeking to satisfy Rome
and at the same time uphold Greek
sovereignty until appeal can be taken
to the league of nations or some
other tribunal.
What is transpiring behind the cur
known for the familiar news censor
is apparently already at his post and
Rome is silent as to the next step she
has planned to enforce her demands.
The English editorial writers have
been hard at work suggesting solu-
ton of the difficult incident which in
many ways recalls the event which
plunged the world into war in 1914.
The league of nations is generally
fixed upon as the medium for reach
ing a settlement, but in view of the
fact that no word from Rome refers
to the Geneva tribunal the Daily News
asks:
will Mussolini torpedo the league
and fire new broadsides into articles
~ and into the Greek navy at the
same timer"
The Fascist premier is the object
of much criticism III the morning
newspapers. Some, of. this is in the
form of friendly advice, but 1t is
more often bitter. Thus the Daily
Express says:
IF this is Fascist diplomacy 1t
doesn't seem to differ from interna-
tional bolshevism."
Italy is unequivocally supported
only by the Daily Mail. The Morn
ing Post while sympathising with the
Rome government, advises fcool and
controlled judgment.
The Times characterizes the Italian
demands as intended to inf1ict HUI
initiation rather than merely to OBJ
tain justice.
The Daily Telegraph regrets the
tone of the Italian note and cannot
believe that the Greek government
had completely in the assassination.

THE CHAMBERS STAND

The Connecticut Chamber of Com
merce has wired the President of thu
United States to the effect that 1t sup
ports the anthracite coal operators
offer to arbitrate all questions between
them and the miners. The telegram tc
the President says: 'tJn casting theil
favorable votes our membership has
had in mind the sacrifice and hard
ship which they may be forced tc
American principle of freedom of EN-
ployemnt"
sition to the check-o off was the ground
for the lofty stand of the chamber.
Eliminate the matter of the check
off and there Is little to base this word
upon. Now the plan of Governor
Pinchot, for which we hold no brief,
except as 1t may form proper basis
of agreement, does eliminate the
check-off. Hence, according to the
rules of logic. this word of the Cham
Der has no foundation upon which to
stand.
Now it is important to consider the
form in which the question was sub
mitted to the members of the state
Chamber. Was it, as the lawyers say,
a leading question. Was but one an
swer expected to 1t?
do you believe that the anthracite
coal operators even at the expense of
a strike, should insist upon the arbi-
tration OF all issues still remaining In
their controversy with the United
Mine Workers rather than agree to
the Union demand for the Inaugural
ton If the check off system as pre-
liminary to further negotiations?
Could any answer other than
Yes" have been expected from such
question? The Interpolation of the
word "even" shows that the trainers
of the question called for an affirma-
tive reply. Had 1t read do you be-
lieve the operators at the expense of
a strike should insist upon the arbi-
tration," the answer expected would
have been no"
This noting of the framing of the
question upon the answers to which
was based the decision of the state
Chamber is important only because it
indicates the trend of opinion of the !
leaders of the Chamber. This news
paper believes thoroughly in the un-
limited right of every man to work
and to stop work, 1t recognizes the
benefit of the state Chamber as it |
recognizes the benefit workers have
derived from unions. But it does not
believe that decision should be
reached in the form of the question
put to members of that Chamber. The
suffering of it's members would be
small compared to the suffering of the
poor, and the poor and the moderately
well-to-do are the ones in which we
are interested especially.

HAYNES AND HIS JOB

Prohibition Commissioner Haynes
has a splendid opportunity to resign
| his position. One feels sorry always
| for person who has throat trouble,
| now affilicting him, especially per-
son in position which requires a
| deal of explaining. And Commission
err Haynes has had deal of explain
| ing to do ever since he wrote all about
how the enforcement act was en-
forced, and sold the articles to a
newspaper, as he is reported to have
done. telling government business
which, 1t would seem is the sort of
news that ought to be given out with
out profit to the giver If 1t is to be
given at all.
But wait a moment. It has been said
that Commissioner Haynes wrote the
articles That. possibly, is an error as
the report has 1t the articles were
written by "Mr Haynes government
paid publicity staff"
The late President Harding was
splendidly loyal to his friends and
Commissioner Haynes was his friend.
Now President Coolidge is in the
White House and the commissioner has
throat trouble. President Coolidge has
inherited certain policies which he has
pledge himself to follow, but he GER
tainly has not inherited the friend
ships of his former chief. President
Coolidge is considered dry" in his
leanings although he has not commit
ted himself as strongly as did the late
President. 1t is quite possible, the mat
ter of friendship being eliminated,
that the present Chief Executive will
not urge Commissioner Haynes to re-
main on the job provided the latter
should consider his present affliction
good reason for giving up the duties
which have been arduous at all times
not less arduous because of the way
in which the Commissioner has
handled them.

THAT "HIDDEN TREASURE"

The pot of gold reported found al
Hagerstown, Md, by laborer was
no pot of gold, but only tin can in
which there was no money at all, Sc
the authentic report of the affair has
it. The Government investigators
have been called off the job, and are
ordered to forget it.
There is nothing surprising in this
| denouement. but the interest and
partial belief in the possibility that
the tale was true held by many people
is somewhat characteristic. Many be-
| lieved that such box of treasure had
been found. Many jumped to the con-
clusion that 1t must be Bergdoll's
treasure, the wish being father to the
thought, perhaps, as had 1t been his
it would have been taken over by the
Government-and we should have
liked to see this done. The interesting
feature Of the affair is the inclination
in this country to believe that there
are pots of gold" and, similarly
panaceas for all evils. Grown men and
women are intrigued by the thought
that some great treasure may be found
anywhere, at any time. The expedi-
tions which have set out to unearth
some of the traditional treasures have
been composed of men of intelligence
who believed they had inside informa-
ton that such treasures were more
than dreams.
And the other pots of gold" that
are being sought continually come in
the form of new plans for happiness
new means of correcting the wrongs
that exist, socially and politically.
Many of those who supported Bryan,
with his theory of free silver" be-
lieved he had found such q panacea
such a pot of gold. Politicians and
even statesmen appear from time to
time with new remedies for weakness
in certain national affairs. They have
their followers, all believing that at
last the pot of gold has been found. |
If the new plan is tried and proves
but a poor thing these followers are
as disappointed as the small boys who !
are always playing pirate and seeking |
to dig up treasure buried by enemy
pirates.
A recent instance is the case of the |
of Governor Pinchot in |
the coal settlement matter. He had
made no claim to have discovered any
means for harmonizing dis
pute between miners and operators.
but 1t is safe to say that many hoped
he would come out with a plan entire
ly new, one of which no one had
thought pot of gold. The best he
was able to do, as the best any man
would be able to do in such case, was
TO urge a policy of mutual .ences-

entirely free from the hope that we
will find, some day, that pot OF gold.
