In forty days it will have passed into history to be judged by its works. This much is certain. It received control of the country from the Republican party with all departments well organized and functioning, with amicable foreign relations established and respect for our flag the world over, with the domestic affairs of our people prosperous and orderly, with content- ment upon every hand. At the end of eight years the Democratic party is surrendering to its rival upon the mandate of the people, the same government | but unrecognizable as the government deliy- ered to it. Our prestige abroad is destroyed and our government held in contempt. Our government at home is completely disorgan- ized. Graft‘and official wrong-doing have per- meated every department of,the executive branch, the legislative branch, before its res- cue from the Democratic party by the people, had sunk lower than ever in its history, while the judicial branch, remaining true to its traditional integrity, was nevertheless critic- ised and assaulted by elements of the popula- * tion that had no right to remain under our flag. The financial, industrial and general economic affairs of the people are in chavtic condition, and the administration has been impotent to help restore normal conditions. In sixty years from 1861 to the present date we have had sixteen years of Democratic rule, At the close of each the Cleveland and now the Wilson period the country was left in the same deplorable situation. During the past eight years, the Wil- son administration has been vested with pow- er unprecedented in American history. The economic laws which it enacted are still on the statute books. It is still in full control of the administration of those laws. Statistics compiled by one of the leading Democratic newspapers of the country show that the present industrial depression was foreshadowed by a slump in the stock mar- ket which began in November 1919 a full year before the election which determined the change of a party administration. Statistics compiled by the same periodical show that |- the slump in the values of farm products be- gan early in June 1920 before either of the political parties had held its national conven- tion and five months before the outcome of the election was known. Not by any possib- ility, therefore, can it be argued that the change in party control is in any way re- sponsible for the present industrial depres- sion. Under the Wilson-Underwood law, which is misnamed a tariff law millions of bushels of Canadian wheat came into the American market early in the season supplying the im- mediate needs of American mills and de- priving the American farmer of his market. As a consequence mills are not in the market to buy. The American farmer cannot sell ‘his grain for a price that will cover the cost of production, and throughout the grain grow- ing sections there is every indication that area. Neither oats nor corn will sell for area. Neeither oats nor corn will sell for enough to cover the cost of production, and, according to reports, the latter commodity is being used for fuel. The cotton and tobacco beieng used for fuel. The cotton and tobacco producers of the South are similarly embar- rassed and an extensive organization is under way for the purpose of restricting production of both of these agricultural products during 1921. There is reported to be a billion pounds millions upon millions of pounds of foreign wool here or on the way here, and the Amer- ican sheep-owner is unable to sell either his wool or his sheep. Prices which farmers are able to obtain for other agricultural products are insufficient in a corresponding degree, with the result that maintenance of food pro- duction is seriously threatened at a time when nearly half the world is suffering for want of food. Moreover, through its control of the Federal Reserve System and its conse- quent contro] of credits and the manner of the exercise of that control, the Administra- tion has largely brought about the present cepression in values of agricultural products. During the war the Wilson administra- tion had almost absolute control of every important line of industry. It fixed a maxi- mum price for wheat and controlled the mar- keting of that product. Through the War Trade Board, exports of all commodities were under the control of the Administration. The marketing of wool became a_ govern- ment function. Through its control of tranz- portation the marketing af various domes- tic products was regulated to suit the iwl.- ment or whim of the appointees of Presi- | dent Wilson. During the closing months of the war, Republicans in congress proposed the cre- ation of a commission on reconstruction to forecast and solve the problems which would confront the nation on the restorntion of defeated on orders from the White House. Through refusal to prepare for peace as it refused to prepare for war, the Wilson ad- ministration has made itself wholly respon- sible for the woeful situation that exists to- day. ( DEALING IN PLAIN TALK There is no subject in modern years in which Great Britain and America are both vitally interested, that has brought out ex- pression from the press and statesmen of both countries, than is the question of disarmament The shipbuilding activities of the United States growing out of the necessities.of war has made us one of the leading maritime nations and as such a navy commensurate with such importance is acknowledged even by Britain, who is not only willing but an- xious to pass on to us the crown and title of mistress of the seas. Britain is not flattering us, and we trust our people are in no sense misled by such a view. Britain is tired, says so plainly and the world knows it. She can no longer maintain herself in the struggle and keep peace at home and with her colonies. The tax upon her is too great. That is the key to her will- ingness to cease her age long struggle for naval supremacy. She views war with the United Sates as a,most remote contingency, relies implicitly upon our friendship and trusts us forthe future, Ail these things her for a permanent peace among the nations of the world under American initiative and disarmament under such plan as America may deem feasible. Such is Britain’s state of mind at the present time and she has not come to this view without due consideration, ‘ America has set the pattern in reduced beyond her needs of securify. She did this while contemplating a naval! expansion that would place her by 1925 in the front rank. The whole question will come with the Harding program of international policy and be determined by congress. This time it is up to us to fathom European diplomacy and determine its sincerity. Frankness in discussion is excellent. Passing us the scepter of control sounds large. Are we ready to assume the cost and do for the world what Britain did for us in the world war? THE STORY OF THE LEAGUE Former Secretary of State, the Hon. Robert Lansing, has in press to be released sailles peace econference. The date of issue is significant for it falls upon the day after Mr. Wilson’s retirement as president. Mr. Lansing has fulfilled all that the proprieties and loyalty to his former chief require, and under the circumstances has remained silent longer than he was justified for after all his obligation was to his countrymen, who were being deceived, rather than to his principal who was practicing the deception. It is understood that Mr. Lansing’s work contains some very frank statements and it is in no sense free from criticism of Mr. Wil- son, from a_ diplomatic standpoint. The chapter dealing with the grant of Shantung to Japan is said to be particularly caustic. Mr. Lansing, as is well known was oppos- ed to the league of nations covenant and so strongly did he feel on the subject, that he has heretofore been credited with the state- menet that “if the American people only knew what the League of Nations let them in for they would never stand for it.” While the league has been killed, so far as the United States is concerned, withcut Mr, Lansing’s assistance, still it is well to know from so intimate and authoritative a of wool in American warehouses, there are ANDIT’S EARS ARE ‘BOXED’ BY IRATE WOMAN| Mail Pastor to Be Arraigned on source just what we have escaped, 21 CASUALTIES _IN BARCELONA Robbery) RIOTS, REPORT peace, but this commendable measuree was‘ spokesmen repeat || as they fall in line with American sentiment || military establishment, which is agreed is not |’ after March 5th, his memiors on the Ver-| | Lieutenants Kloor, ian wilds.
