The President’s Address. *+ Next Tuesday President Harding| ‘will have the world for audience. There | is no country in cable reach of this| town whose people are not keen for | the views he will impart to Congress that day. Nor is this interest confined to for- eign affairs. It applies as well to domestic affairs. What line will the President take as to taxation, the! tariff, the merchant marine, the rail- roads? H The outside world knows of the unl settled state of our domestic affairs; that our taxes are heavy; that our ariff needs revision; that our mér- chant marine policy has yet to be| shaped; that our railroad problem is both serfous and difficult. It appreciates the importance of the | United States in the general equation. | A stabilized America, going prosper- ously full speed ahead again, will make for fmprovement in conditions everywhere. Plagued as we are with | tempt to pass & national law sgain, a5 proposed. ‘Washington cannot afford to go alone in the.matter of daylight sav- ing. The government cannot readily work on the advanced-hour basis with- out statute, to insure changes in rail- road schedules. Unless the govern- ment adopts the change of hours the business interests of the city cannot do so by agreement, as business and the departmental work. in Washington must co-ordinate. Thus the local wish for daylight saving is necessarily de- pendent for gratification on the enact- ment of a fedetal law, which will put the whole caantry again on the same basis, a candition preferable to that which obtains when individual states | undertake to shift the hands of the clocks,, Regarding the Treaty. If one is to accept the clalm made | generally within the past week tha! the decision reached by the administra- tion as<to how the peace problem is to be selved involves the junking of the treaty of Versailles and the conclusion of a separate peace with Germany, several questions present themselves, demanding an answer. Upon what authority has that de- cision been reached. In other words, is the administration sure that such a course is according to the will of the nation? Much weight has been attributed to the answer of the Amer- ican people in the “solemn referen- dum"” of last November, and it should be borne in mind that the question then before the nation was not, “Do You prefer the treaty of Versallles to a separate peace with Germany?” but “Do you prefer the treaty of Versailles with or without those reservations which the republican party deems necessary?" Is there not a reasonable ground for doubt as to whether the nation as a whole is alive to the fact that a pro- gram much more drastic than that sought in 1920 by a majority of the : THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., FRIDAY, APRIL 8, 1921. with people “back home," gewspapers, political leaders, business Interests. They know what is going'on at the state capitals. They are in touch with the members of Congress. Many of the latter, indeed, are members of these associations and some of them have served as the presidents. Not all of the states are thus organ- ized here though all should be. There are people here from every one of the forty-eight states, and not one of them should lack for opportunity to meet his fellows. The war did much to stimulate the development of the state socleties. The newcomers, finding no |&ssociations in existence, In some cases j proceeded to organize them. There is {work yet to be done, however, to com- ; plete the roster of these socleties. The enterprise now in hand for the crea- tion here of a national exposition, with { characterlistic exuibits from each state, hould furnish the incentive for the | speedy organization of all that remain { vet to be formed of these groups. The Law as to Peonage. This is from a press report of the Williams murder trial in Georgia: - “Willlams said he might have been technically gullty of peonage, as he had worked negroes who owed him money. He had told federal investi- Egators that when they first came to the farm, he added, and had also de- clared he always paid and fed the negroes. These agents replied the { negroes on his place were among the ‘best fed and clothed’ they had seen, he declared. If ‘he were technically Bullty of peonage, ‘most Georgia farmers also were,’ he added.” If the law as to peonage is not clear; if the farmers of Georgla act on one Interpretation and the officers of the law on another, whatever is not clear should be made clear—so very clear that he who plows may read, and un- derstand. Peonage is a euphemism for slavery; and slavery in this country was abol- ished nearly sixty years ago. The re- vival of even a semblance of it should not be allowed. The institution is repugnant not only to our institutions, old problems out of plumb and new | “irreconcilables” is to be advocated, |Dut to the age. It is so hideous a thing problems requiring adjustment to the ,and apparently adopted before a frac-| it #hould not be permitted anywhere old restored to plumb, we are yet in better shape than any of the other nations in our class. And our size and fesources count -for much in all calculations about the world's recovery from the appalling destructions inflicted by the war. The President, of course, merely recommends to Congress. But all the nations ar: aware of his knowledge of Congress and its procedpre, and that he is on good terms with the men in “the lead of the body that will assemble Monday. Hence they will attach, as they should, great importance to what- ever he may say to it in the line of -his duty. —_——te—————— Immigration. Congress, it is stated, will promptly take up the question of immigration and pass the bill passed by the recent Congress and vetoed by Mr. Wilson. "This limits immigration for one year 10 3 per cent of the population of alien origin pow in this country. Last winter there was some exag- geration in the statements made on ”_this subject. ,'emmuuntmyl millions in Europe only awaited trans- portation arrangements to cross over to us; that they had gathered from everywhere, and were eager to put the old world, with its scars and hates, behind them. each other’s heels, would prevent the proper inspection, and result in being overrun by the unfit, the dis- eased, and the unworthy. Investigation, partly official, soft- ened the picture. Foreign seaports ‘were not crowded with multitudes im- patiently waiting for ships, nor was discontented Europe thinking of mov- ing en masse to America. » Nevertheless, enough was found true to suggest pew legislation covering the situation the war had produced; and the attempt was made to enact it. This second attempt will probably succeed. Mr. Harding is understood as favoring action, and the action pro- posed has been explained to him. —_———— The communists may enjoy some slight regard in Berlin when, without “going too far, they provide enough agitation to give the government an excuse for not attending to other business. ———— Should Lord Northcliffe's suggestion that newspapers be delivered by air- , blane be acted upon, subscribers will “wait on the roof instead of the front steps. —_——— A Kansas town is being run by the ladies. That is to say, the populace has decided formally and officially to recognize a condition that has nn] doubt existed for some time. i Many Berlin statesmen are in favor of peace provided it does not cost any- thing. Daylight Saving. Washington merchants in meeting yesterday urged the enactment of a law that will restore daylight saving for the country, speaking, of course, for the District. A sentiment for the change of the clock in the spring and agtumn to insure an earlier start on the work of the day during the season of longer daylight is almost uni. versal in the cities of this country, though feeling is adverse in the rural sections. In some of the states, not- ably New York, the favorable senti. ment has dominated, to the end that state daylight saving has been ordered by sfatute. This causes serious con. fusion. In the case of New York the advancement of the bahking hours put Chicago at such a serious dis- advantage that the state of Illinols was forced to adopt the system, despite strong local objection. Daylight saving worked well during the war and satisfled most people, save the farmers, who claimed that their system of work could not be adjusted. The cows, sald one agriculturist, would not wear wrist watches, and most farm ‘work is regulated by the bovine condi- tions. The repeal of the federal statute was effected at the urgent in- sistence of the farmers. It remains tion of the time devoted to investigat- ing the treaty itself has been accorded it? The fight over the treaty has from the first centered about the merits or demerits of specific features thereof, and has not been directed against the pact as a whole. Has the probable effect of the pro- Posed program upon our former alljes, upon Germany, and upon our own in- terests been ascertained and fully con- sidered? The only decent grounds upon which absolute rejection could be based would be absolute disapproval. The effect of such disapproval upon Europe, where the treaty is the only tangible evidence that right triumped over wrong in the great war is a mat- ter of grave moment. Has the answer to the question, “Can we justly claim all the benefits accruing unto .us under the treaty, without undertaking any of the obl- gations or responsibilities to be shared by. the victorious signatories?” been satisfactorily answered? And finally: Has every effort been used to find some way whereby, with such reservations as are now deemed necessary, we could safely and wisely sign, or is the contemplated program merely “the easlest way out” of a vexa- tious problem, a way which bids fair to place us in a position even less de- sirable than that in which we todsy |should put Senator Knoi’s’ Separate | find curselves? Scrapping of the treaty of Versailles would be unwise in the extreme. It is difficult to belleve that such a course is to be finally adopted by the administration. ——— ‘The Connecticut legislature has been asked to sanction the incorporation of an association of bald-headed men.

The e -Editorial Digest American Serfs. “No feature of the Armenian atroc- itles that have made the world thrill with the incredible crueity of the un- speakable Turk" story of ‘the Georgla peonage hor- .rflrl." declares the Knoxville Sentinel (Independent democratic). Similar dis- &ust Is expressed by most of the press over the revelation of the murder of | eleven enslaved negroes at the Insti- &ation of a modern “Simon Legree” In | & Jasper county. It is not merely the crime, however, but rather the insti- tended to conceal, that causes some of the most bitter criticism. Connlvance of Georgia authorities and passive toleration of the crime by the commu- nity are declared by some to warrant immediate and drastic federal action. From Georgia Itself comes stern condemnation of the deed for justice. “Decent public sentiment in Georgla,” says the Atlanta Consti- tution (democratic), “will not permit a thing of this kind to go unnoticed, and the Augusta Chronicle (demo- nd a call “refutes, with all the vigor of its might,” the charge of ‘unchecked {lawlessness” in the state. But “the brutality of the exposure I8 only secondary,” the Pittsburgh Dispatch (independent) points out, thus reflecting the opinion of a num: ber of writers, “to the fact that slav- ery was not abolished in the south by the Lincoln proclamation and con- stitutional amendments.” The New York Mail (independent) says: “Negroes are put to work un- der conditions no better than slavery. Wages are low and men easily get into debt. No doubt their weakness- €8s are exploited to get them into debt. They borrow small sums to be paid back in labor. But they never got an accounting. They ask for one at thelr peril. Year after year they work, and the debt i& never reduced. Charges of law-breaking are ‘framed’ against them, and they are black- mailed Into hugging their chains. We fought a war to end what is now tak- ing place In Georgia, and it must be ended.” The blame “for this cumulative brutality” lies on the state of Geor- gla, the New York World (democratic) belfeves, since {t “legalized the sub- letting of convict labor,” and the re- lation of the employer to these mes “Is the relation of the overseer to his Eang in_the days before the ® civil | War.” Such conditions, Indeed, as |the murders revealed.' “could ' not exist unless the local authorities were either indifferent or connived at i this barbarous practice,” declares the birmingham Age-Herald (independent democratic). ~ ““Travesty,” says _the Chattanooga Times (Independent democratic), will be written over the laws of Georgia if this peonage sys- tem, besides which “the peonage sys- tem of Mexico was tame,” Is not eradicated. That “public opinion” could remain “lethargic” in the community in which such conditions existed is “disquiet- ing” to the Pittsburgh Sun (demo- cratic), and the New Haven Journal- Courler ~ (independent) calls it “a cheerful state of society” where this could occur, and adds,” “It is note- worthy that though this modern Le- gree is credited with disposing of a number of blacks no one proposes to lynch him." The Utica Press (independent) also accukrs the community: “It is fairly ident that state and local officers ere doing nothing to end peonag which suggests a virtual, if not tual, collusion by them with of- fenders.” The Nebraska State Journal (Lin- coin, ndependent republican) takes the ‘viewpoint that the Georgia af- fair is merely representative of the attitude of the country as a whole toward the negro. The Norfolk Vir- xintan-Pilot (Independent democratic) feels that “no one will be 50 unjust to assume that the agricultural sertdony that culminated in the Jas- per couaty horror is general through- out the state.” But it is one of the “‘sore spots’ - whifh can be reached not by the laws “but by the schools.

It dies hard because the community is not horrified enough to make an end of such atroclous practices.” - The U. 8. of Central Amzrie;. Surprisingly little attention has been paid the congress he!d recently at San Jose, Costa Rica, at which the first steps toward a Central Amertcan fed- eration was taken. The object is not a new one, but the point of view which a decade ago was everywhere intensely national today is modified by the lessons of the war. At the San Jose congress delegates from Guatemala, Salvador, Honduras and Costa Rica agreed on a basis for the practical union, while Nicaragua, bulk- ing largely between Costa Rica and the others, holds aloof. Great wars come from little states, and if the Balkan states were as nea: ly In sympathy with each other as a the Central American states Europe could sleep better at night. Wherever states are small there Is quick jealousy I which waits not on diplomacy, but pro- i pels itself across narrow borders and back again.
