Editorial Digest Peace—What Next? The Senate has rung down the final curtain on ‘the American drama, “Peace With Germany,” and ‘while there is a good deal of press discus- sion of the last act in the play, there , as the Cleveland Plain Dealer (Independent democratic) says, “ne excitement whatever over the advent of pemce.” Apparently after holding the center of the stage for more than two years the act has begun to pall, and newspaper interest now is cen- tered chiefly on ‘what the epilogue \will develop. No “reasonable human being.” the Rochester Ttmes Union (independent) believes, ‘“can mccept the German treaty as a final solution of the prob- lems arising out of the war,” since “it solves nothing.” Rather, the posi- tion In which it leaves the United States, the Newark News (independ- ent) thinks, is best ‘expressed in the vernacular, “We don't kmow where ‘we're Boing, but we're on our way.” Certainly “passage of ‘the treaties leaves the country without any un- derntandable foreign policy.” That policy is “still a thing of shreds and patches,” the Peorla Transcript (in- dependent) agrees, and ‘rests on benevolent intentions and shapeless good wilL."” However, as far as our foreign Ppolicy is concerned, the Springfield Union (republican) feels that “more depends on what is to follow than upon any steps so far taken,” and the ratification of the Berlin treaty | “can only be considered as a provis- ional step in the somewhat difficult Drocess of trying to secure our na- tional interests without sacrificing our traditional policy of non-concern and freedom from entanglement.” The peace pact “goes a long way to- ward defining and fixing our general relations with Europe,” the Detrolt Free Press (independent) is con- vinced: and “it provides a foundation for many important policies.” Defects will “soon disclose themselves,” the Illinols State Journal republican) thinke, “and subsequent negotiations can correct them.” Inf} any event, the treaty “was to be ac- cepted for the sake of what will come |7 after it,” the New York Post (inde- pendent) feels, and it agrees with the Ithaca Journal News (independent) that “the first step is the appoint- ment of an American representative on the reparations commission,” for that body “holds in its hands the eco- nomic future of Europe,” and since “America has a great stake in that future” it must “take a part in de- termining it.” The “economic necessity of regulating reparations In the in- terest of world recovery” the Grand Raplds Press (independent) thinks “should be convincing egough to guarantee congressional action.” The ‘next thing to do,” in the opinion of the Portland Oregonian (in- dependent republican), is to devise Wways by which prosperity can be re- stored in Europe, in order that we may rosper. to establish_enduring peace in urope in order that vur peace may not be disturbed.” And done, the Manchester Union (inde- pendent republican) is certain, “with- out becoming involved in European do- mestic politics,” “‘The people of our country,” the Union says, “have & close-up, vital interest in the rehabili- tation of Europe, and they will not be mixing in the concerns of others, but will be attending to their own busl- ness by lending them aid in the solu- tion of the problem of restoring eco- nomic health. . . Given increasing emphasis on the economic factors of the problem, we should look for much helpful American work in Kurope.” Just how far formal peace between the United States and Germany can go toward stablishing_a state of rest and equilibrium in Europe. stabilizing business and trade on international lines, and helping toward the rehabil tation of the world.”” can be only con- jectured, but the Charleston (W. Va.) @il (indepeadent republican) holds ‘it must be admitted that a great step forward has been taken.” And it was taken ‘at an tune time for Germany.” the Bend Tribune (independent republican) thinks, for “‘just at present that coun- try 15 in the depths; the fate of the mew republic is in the balance,” and the proclamation of peace “is bound to have a stimulating effect on Germany and strengthen the hands of the repub- lican government."” oppor- South Clean Sport and Clean Nations. of Minnesota apologizing, and apolo- gizing ouatright and unequivocally the kind of man you are shows up more clearly than anywhere else in your play.

North Dakota Reacts. If as at present Indicated the recall election in North Dakota has resulted in defeat for Gov. Frazier, the experi- meat in state socialism that has been conducted there for several years will have been brought to a finish. The margin between Nestos, independent candidate for governor, and Frazier, is narrow, but the non-partisan leaguers de not cluim the latter’s election. The state appears to have been overturned in @ reaction caused by the failure of the various schemes started by the ° Nempartisan League and the close ap- A proach of the state to bankruptcy. - ‘The leaguers aver in explanation of this result of the recall election that the farmers have become affluent and indifferent. The truth, however, seems %0 de that the farmers have realized that “leagueism’ spells danger for the ecommonwealth in general and for thelr welfare in particular. The eccentric projects fostered by the state under Non-partisan League tion are not inherent in non- partisanism. A. C.

Charles, onte upon a time of Aus: tria-Hungary, refuses to abdicate. He declines to sign off his rights to what he regards as the throne of the Haps- durgs. After two failures to regain it, reasons that he might as well hold on to that claim as to give it up. Some- thing may happen some day. One never knows.

There is nothing novel or startling about this prediction, since it was conceded, even while the war was in progress, that the men who wore the Ariny khaki and the Navy blue would play a very large part in unning the institutions of the land or which they fought. It was so in the south after the war of the sixties, when Confederate veterans filled practically all offices in the gift of the people. In the north the Grand Army of the Republic was & powerful force in politics for many years. Many who were in service of the country in 1917-1918 now have a feel- ng that they have not been given fafi Yecognition for " their services.
