Thus MIR. Lloyd George has disconnected the internationalists
at the very outset of his visit. Like former Secretary Baker, they
looked to him as a tremendous asset in their campaign
to sacrifice America to Europe, but their joy was premature. In
stead of asking aid from this country, he regrets that Europe has
not had the good sense to adopt policies similar to ours.
The tremendous enthusiasm that greeted MI. Lloyd George
when he landed in New York was an expression of relief that here
was a visitor whose mind was not filled with messages and advice
to Americans. 1t was also an appreciation of the virie patriotism
of the former premier, which, however, had not been permitted to
warp his sound judgment. Too many of our callers from abroad
have conceived it a duty to their country to come in the role of
mendicants. In varied language they have begged Americans to
make them a present of the $1, 00O,0 600 600 in the aggregate which
they owe. They have tried to borrow still more money and soldiers
with which to compose the bloody controversies that have seethed
in Europe since the armistice.
Mr.. Lloyd George follows no such course. Both his self re-
spect and his sound reasoning prohibit it. With other English
men he doubtless agrees that the cardinal policy of British states
manship should be the cultivation of friendship with the United
States. But he knows that the essentials to such a policy are COM
mon honesty in financial transactions and a recognition of national
virtues in America even though they may not be in evidence in
Europe. 1t requires no astute diplomacy on Mr.. Lloyd Georges
part to discover the most direct route to the heart of America, nor
any special courage to follow it. 1t was the evident thing to do and
he did it.
How crude in contrast appear the efforts of Sir Philip Gibbs,
Lord and Lady AstOr, and all the other knights, lords, and pro-
fessional pubicists who have inflicted themselves upon us in the
last three years. Their begging appeals have daily added to the
risgust of Americans who heard or read them. If Mr.. Lloyd George
can undo the injury they did to better American British relations
he will have accomplished a tremendous task. But he will find the
American people most responsive to sentiments such as he ex-
pressed in New York. Let him guide his future addresses by
similar texts, and when he leaves for home he will have rendered
Great Britain the greatest service of his remarkable career.

AN UNpARTIsAN ENDORSEMENT

There is a paragraph in the address made by Frank }. Hagen
barth, of Salt Lake City, to the Western Tariff Association, which
well worth repeating. Mr.. Hagenbarth was chairman OF the
association and in his opening address at the convention recently
in Denver. Colorado, he declared.
Congress in its wisdom passed what was known as the
Emergency Tariff measure, and, / might say IN passing that
this measure came nearer being non-partisan than any tariff
measure ever passed by congress. Later on, in the summer
of 1922, the Tariff Act was passed after
many months of arduOus consideration OF the various new
problems involved. It was freely predicted that this measure
would stop the flow of imports into and exports from the
United States. AS shown by the record up to date, a con-
trary result has been accomplished. The stubborn facts in
the case show that a prosperous American was enabled to
buy generously from an Impoverished Europe, notwith-
standing the so-caned high tariffs imposed by the act. The
revenue derived from the act has been a surprise to even its
most ardent champions, and this revenue, by the way, has
come at a time when it was sorely needed by the American
taxpayer"
When a Republican official makes such a statement the op
position declares it is made for political purposes. Coming from
private citizen it loses its partisan ring. And the Official facts
back up Mr.. Hagenbarth's statement in every particular.

REPUBLICAN WOMEN SET EXAMPLE

The Womens Republican Club of New York has gone on record
against the proposed child labor amendment to the constitution of
the United States. It was the opinion of the organization that the
regulation of child labor should be left to the states, and that the
How refreshing to receive such an utterance from any association,
and what a remarkable testimonial to the sound thinking of the
women. If all our women voters are casting their ballots with the
keen judgment exhibited by the New York club, they are giving a
lesson in good citizenship to the male voters that should not go
unheeded.
Seldom has there been such a wave of false emotion as that
which followed the decision of the Supreme Court of the United
States declaring the child labor law unconstitutional. The decision
was based on the fact that the law was an invasion of the police
power of the state-a limitation of states rights so jealousy
guarded by the Bill of Rights in the constitution. There was not
the slightest suggestion in the decision that the regulation of child
labor was not desirable; in fact, it was broadly intimated that there
was needed reform in that direction. The court merely declared
that it was not within the power of the congress to enact a law of
that character, but that it was up to each of the states to provide
such regulation as it saw fit.
Yet the advocates of child labor legislation condemned the de-
cIon unsparingly and declared that the Supreme Court had turned
a deaf ear to the pleas of the children and was unwilling that laws
should be enacted for their relief. Enemies of the courts and gov
eminent in general took up the cry and appealed to the emotions
of their unreasoning followers. Samuel Gompersp practically urged
that the constitution be torn up when he harangued his labor con-
vention at Portland. "The child life of our country must be pre-
served at all hazards" he cried. ITO say that the constitution of
the United States is impotent to protect the children of our time
is begging the question"
Women are sometimes thought to be more governed by their
emotions than are men, but the action of the New York Women's
Republican club shows that pure reason has the ascendency in that
organization. If men and women generally would take firm stand
against clutterng of the United States constitution with amend
ments which ought more properly to find their place in state legis-
lation, there would be a greater respect for that instrument and the
efforts of our radicals to break it down would be further INSTRUCTED.
Let the people who are interested in various remedial laws first
ascertain if the legislatures of their own states have expressed
their minds on the subject. In the state of Montana, as it is in
most states, it will be found that the commonwealth have full power
to act and that there is no need of turning to congress or the fed
eral constitution for relief.
