U. §. PEACE MISSION. IS SILENT - MACHINE OF CHANGING NEWS Sit Tight and Listen Has Been Policy; Talking Is Left to Wilson NN, E. A. Staff. Corespondent. Paris, France—duropean _ states- men, near-statesmen, journalists and athateur critics can’t decide whether to take off their hats to American diplomacy or call an indignation meeting. + The American peace u \and meves noiseles: peace whels grined watch the éarth re you know it’s revolving, you ca results, but you can’t see it nir hear it re volve. Keeping track of it is like sitting in a poker game; or being sten- ographer to a deaf and dubm conven- tion. “We're learning something every day,” said Henry White in-an ex atory tone, in talking to correspond- ents the other day. Which, considering the trend of events, means the American peace plenipotentiaries have been changing. even modifying their opinions of how to reshape the world and its affairs. It is no secret—though about the only thing that isn’t a secret—that all) of them from President Wilson down, have different opinions than they had when they left the states. The American plan of diplomatic action seems to have been to let all the others talk—sort of blow oft steam. In that way, a high author- ‘atching the | » trying to jity told me, they have been finding | the recipo of harmony. | ‘The impresiso nhere has been that | Lloyd’ George and Clemenceau were | eager to point the course for the | molding of public opinion. “How aboug public opinion back Doesn't the American it to be molded—or 2” Tasked these ques- aid my*authority, carefully, it isn’t so vital—because oesn’t want anything in this peace treaty w' framing. t “It at least wants a peace treaty— and a spgedy one, doesn’t it?” i asked. “Yes, but nothing to shove down in- to its national pocket—no colonies, no protectorates, no territory. The American people do not have to be ed- ueated up to a national policy. Per- haps others might.” And so it has been left for Presi- dent Wilson back in the United States, to present the attitude and views of the American peace’ mis- sion insofar as they haye not been shown by actual achievements at the congress, if he so desires. It will be the words of the presi- dent, together with his presentation of the league of nations plan, that will be depended on to put tae peace settlement over in America. GOODBYE, FREE SEEDS!

The other perquisite is one that hits congressmen right in the brend- basket. The annual custom has been to vote each member of the house $2,000 a y in addition to his $7,500 salary, for clerk hire. It was up to the con- gressmen whether they preferred to spend the money for clerks or for buying new tires for their automo- biles or papering the house back home. If a congressman felt that his need for a clerk v not very prassing, he could let his v or his daughter do the clerical work .of his office, and pocket the $2,000. It is not on record that any member who didn’t need tie $2,000 ever returned it to the treas- ury. : Now it’s all -different—and the houso itself has gone and spoiled it all. ItN vot vecently to increase member's allowance for clerk rom $2,000 to $3,200—BUT— It is “Provided, that no part there from one of the appropriation j of shallsbe paid to any member.’,' The provision was made as an amendment to the legislative, execu- tive and judicial appropriation Dill,! which is now before the senate. It wasn't any easy, matter to get the house to pass the amendment, either, for the vote was 150 to 146, with seven members answering “present” and 127 not voting. And there was | some debate which wos noticeable for the ‘delicacy with which the members touched on the subject. It isn't Nkely that the senate will strike out the amendments: as long as the lower houso has voted to cut off one of its fattest perquisites.

SHIPP, Prop. * 349-K { British Labor Delegate. bueno Wc Stem Ptah kn naar samme Bc a - FRIDAY, FEB. 28, 1919. GENERAL H..H. BANDHOLTZ, What d’you know about a police chief that can order “pinches” in five countries? Let ‘any Yank beware the wrath of the Big Chief if he commits offenses against the civil law of England, Bel- gium, France or Italy, or even Ger- many. Likewise let any civilian beware wherever civilians: come under the military rule of the American Army of Occupation. The Big Chief is Gen. H. H. Band- holtz, provost marshal of the Ameri- can expeditionary forves. From his headquarters in Paris he directs the military police ofthe Am- erican army in all the regions named. Under the Bandholtz command are 20,000 men and officers, who have a wri ne task requiring diplomacy. and judg- ment. * They must see that American sol- dier boys on leave do not turn liberty into license. They must arbitrate betweefi tie civil and the military. It is up to them to zealously guard the good name of the American army. Under their rule come 50,000 pris- oners of war-and 120,000°Germans in occupied territory. Bandholtz was picked for the job of Police Chief because of his success iwth the Philippines constabulary in establishing @ civil government in tho islands.

Paris.—“It is not sufficient that the’ peace conference merely affirm general labor principles. It must provide an international organization to secure their observance.” That statément by George N. Barnes, labor member of the British peace mis- ‘sion, summarizes what Britain stands for in the way of international labor regulations. It i the gist of the program which Britain has thrown into the hopper of the peace conference labor committee. Barnes and Samuel Gompers-are Jead- ing members of this commiftee. It is expected to have ready for submission to the conference very shortly.a com-} plete international labor program. It is practically certain that the British plan, for a permanent organi- wition will form, a good part of the recommendations of the labor commit- tee, and “it is regarded. as likely to be adopted :by the conference itself, thougli with possible changes. BERNE CONVENTIONS LACKED BACKING. Barnes first*poitited out that ithe in- ternational’ conventions drawn up in Berne in 1905-6 failed largely because of the absence of an international au- thority which could whip backward states into observance. “These diffteulties we hope will be overcome, by making the boundaries of the intertational, permanent labor or- ganization ;-coterminus with the league of. nations, and by bringing~ together. the employérs, employes and the ‘hu- tions in such’ a way as to give the employers atid-employed a definite ‘sta- tus,” Barnes continued. “We hope to @stablish a permanent labor bureau under the league of na- tions to collect and spread information, thus creating international public opin- ion in favor of observance of the con- ventions. ~ “In some matters, compliance could be forced through customs. In others, discrimination would be difficult. All proposals must be consistent with Pres- ident Wilson's principle of equal eco- nomic treatment .among nations, ‘and this must be constantly borne in mind in considering the pressure which might be brought to bear on any de- faulting state. Much, therefore, might be suid in favor ef moral rather than legislative action. “But whatever. the methed adopted for enforcing the international Jabor program, there must be permanent ma- chinery to bring pressure on countries where conditions of life or employment are bad. \ LACK OF ORGANIZATION IN SOME COUNTRIES , “This involves making the state re- sponsible for the acts of its subjects— employers or employed. One difficulty which must*be met is the absence’ of organization among -the workers of cer- tain countries. “The bureau established might ‘be given auffority to announce to the world any violations of the interna- tional regulations by any country. “Or the bureau might bring» the facts before a court, of the league of nations, drawn from a standing panel. This court woud then hear the bu- reau’s evidence and take whatever dis- ciplinary action was provided, whether ‘economic pressure or, exposing the. facts to the world. “This standing panel is part of our plan,-and we also provide inspectors for the permanent bureau whose jobs it will be to see that the convertions are observed in all countries. C NTION TO PLAN DETAILS “Our’ proposal is that the plan be adopted by the peace conférence ina large? way ‘and that a great conven- tion be called in a few months to work out_the details and draw up the con- ventions—all, of course, under the league of 1ations. “This convention would be attended by representatives of workers, ‘repre- sentatives ‘of employers and .reptesen- tatives of the nations. “Standardization of wages and hours and’ ‘standardization _ of ‘conditions ‘of employment, holidays, ‘minimum ages at which children ‘would “be ‘permitted to work, questions ‘concerning women in industry, immigtation mattérs: and governing séamen’s rights we might @ilbe’ ‘out— ‘others. : human ‘conditions of labor in‘any-coun- te 7 WORLD LABOR LAWS MUST BE ENFORCED BY LEAGUE, SAYS BARNES RED FLAG BILL PASSES St. Paul, Feb. 28.—The Minnesota sehate~today passed by unanimous vote the Nimock bill prohibiting the display of red flags or any other ban- ii vhicl $s all te a try is a matter which concerns fiers depicting’ anarchy. countries.” Start ‘today to buy War Savings Stamps SS ahs, erent Victor Se oF V ev ‘ ‘ictor Vv.
