Attorney General Daugherty orders a searching investigation of the prices oI necessit Wwholesale and retail, to @scertain whether there is a combina- lion or agreement for maintaining them at the present heights, which he denounces as ‘“unconscionable.” He expresses the opinion that “all over the country retailers have an under- standing.” Assuredly if there is such an “under- standing,” if the prices of the goods necesary to the life and the comfort of the people are being kept high by operation on the part of the dis- ibutors, it is the business of the gov- ernment to act in punishment and cor- rection. A condition such as the Attor- 1.ey General indicates is a violation of the law. Ever since the prices of the neces- sities of life began to advance with the outbreak of war in Europe there . have been inquiries and investigations, now on the part of states, again on the part of the federal government and frequently on the part of private egencies seeking to protect the pub- lic welfare. But none of these re- searches has actually led to any ma- terial relief. Either there have been no combinations “in restraint of trade” or they have been so skilfully con- cealed and camouflaged as to escape detection. In every one of these inquiries the nublic has heard the same protests from the producers and distributors of necessities. Thy have explained that the prices have risen in response to the law of supply and demand, that the fault,,if any has existed, has lain with *“the other fellows.” The retail- ers have charged the wholesalers, the wholesalers have accused the produc- ers and the retailers, and all these have agreed in charging that the mid- dlemen have had too large a share in the profits of distribution. The war has been over for more than three years. The industrial ad- justments necessary to the change have been effected. Supply and de- mand are once more normal. Yet the prices remain higher than before the war began, in some cases extremely high. i some only moderately so, but all above the average of 1913, and even earlier. What is the cause? Attorney General Daugherty says he proposes to find out whether it lies in an “un- derstanding.” He orders the chief of the bureau of investigations to make @ thorough research. Mr. Burns may be depended upon to get the facts, for ‘which he has a peculiar genius. The hope of the buying public is that he will get them quickly, and that upon them may be based such action as the laws permit to bring about that final post-war adjustment for which it has been prayerfully waiting. ——— . The Value of the Recess. Will senators and representatives fmprove the opportunity afforded by the recess to sound sentiment at home on legislative subjects and the arma- ment conference, or devote the time to boliday recreations? The recess was voted solely for holi- @ay purposes. The old and familiar Christmas spirit conquered. There was a good deal of business on hand, some of it pressing. But here was Christmas again, and it was remem- bered that it comes but once a year. Bo the brethren scattered for home, with Christmas doings in mind. They will find their constituents with the same things in mind, andj probably with small desire to talk; shop. Besides. matters in Washington are ouly in the shaping now. The arma- ‘Snent conference is making progress, but there is 2 good deal more to be made. The Senate finance committee ! $8 still occupied with the House tariff{ ®ill. No railroad measure has yet been drafted. The merchant marine ques- sion awaits attention. %" The legislators, therefore, will sim- ply get a rest. and return to duty re- s @reshed for labors that may take six ‘mnonths, or even longer, to complete. They ought to be in guod shape for | ghe work. The complexion of the next Congress may depend on Fow well nm[ work is done. And the complexion of the next Congress may influence the esituation in 1924, when both Congress @nd the presidency will be in the scale. ————————— The children who have no stockings @0 hang up on Christmas eve are those who need Santa Claus most. 1 Pinal action by Congress on the bill @appropriating $20,000,000 for the pur- @hase of food for starving Russians eompletes the legislative process and puts the bill up to the President, who @andoubtedly will approve it at once. ®his will add another item to the long wecord of American beneficences @pread over all the world and totaling e vast sum and reaching countless nillfons. Nearly thirty years ago this govern- Snent sent relief to Russia in a ship ¢hat safled from New York with cere- saony and carried supplies for the suf- s:ferers from the famine then sweeping -~ever that land. Since then Russia has ! greatly changed. That was in the days @? the czar’s regime. The war with Japan has meanwhile been fought; the pessant’s revolution has led to the es- dghlishment of & semblance of popular @owverpment; the great war has broken ik Russie mobilising the great- 3' 18 history; the czar's govern- | American Relief for Russia. ment has been overthrown and a democratic rule established, to be suc- ceeded by sovietism and the ruin of Russla, socially and economically; the czar is dead, his family exterminated. Never has a land suffered more sorely, perhaps never 8o greatly. Probably ne full record will ever be written of the agonies of the last four years. For the Russtan people in their desperate plight American people have the deepest sympathy. They have ex- tended the helping hand gladly and generously, sending thelr missioners to relieve a desperate situation direct- 1y menacing 25,000,000 with starvation. These agents are now at work using supplies already avallable, but run- ning short, and the appropriation just voted Is necessary to continue this bounty until the passing of winter permits self-support by the Russians. Tn these beneficent acts the govern- ment of the United States and the pe ple of this country have no thought for the political effect. They refuse to recognize the usurping, tyrannical government of the soviet, which they regard as beyond the pale of associa- tion and acceptance. They look for- ward hopefully, for the &ake of the Russian people, to the restoration of sane and just government there. But they will not stay the hand of mercy meanwhile, even though by alding in the succor of the people they may be helping the soviet incidentally to withstand the steadily increasing pres- sure of revolt. ————— Henry Watterson. For dafly journalism Henry Watten n possessed an unusually full equip- ment. e would have excelled in any department of a newspaper. His vo- cabulary was rich and racy, and the range of his sympathies and informa- tion wide. Had he addressed himself to dramatic criticism he would have com- manded attention. He liked the drama, and was on terms of intimacy with the leading players of his day. As a reviewer of musical performances he would have taken high rank. He had music “in his bones,” and for a time when young studied the piano. As a book reviewer he would have been at home; and the wonder is that he never tried hisghand at a novel. Had he taken station at London or Paris as a correspondent for some leading Amer- ican journal he would have done work | equal to that of George W. Smalley or Harold Frederic. But Mr. Watterson's work was cut out for him. The son of a distin- guished Tennessee politician, he was born in Washington while his father was serving in Congress, and thus grew up in an atmosphere of politics. He ate, drank, slept, dreamed, talked politics until his system was saturated with it. He would not have been happy in any other employment than in helping to shape and commenting on political policies. . Soon after the close of the civil war, in which he had participated on the Confederate side, he found his oppor- tunity at Louisville, where a distin- guished journalist—George D. Pren- tice—was in decay. Mr. Watterson ac- quired the Prentice newspaper prop- erty, and it became the foundation of his extraordinary success. His pro- fessional labors from that time were confined to the Kentucky metropolis, and he made his newspaper known throughout the Union. Mr. Watterson counted eighty-one milestones. A long life; and during the half century that passed between 1872, when he first acquired national reputation, and a year or so ago, when he retired from the newspaper fleld, American journalism produced no more active or picturesque figure. —————— “Opportunities” Time Passing. Ever since the “fourteen opportu- nities” have been offered annually to the people of Washington to give di- rect practical help to needy families and individuals at Christmas time the subscriptions have been slow in reach- ing the total required. But somehow they have always been finally suf- ficient. In the last hours of each “campaign” for this most worthy beneficence the spirit of Christmas giving has stimulated the contribu- tions and the sum has been assured. This year, again, the opportunities tgifts are slow. At the close of the account yester- day of the $13,156 asked for the sup- port through the year of the fourteen aroups of people, only $4,386.75 had been received, leaving $8,769.25 still to be subscribed. One of the fourteen opportunities has been closed. If by Christmas morning all of these people comprised in the fourteen groups are to be assured of sustenance during the coming year through this agency only & few hours remain in which to send subscriptions. One hour will suffice if enough peo- ple are inspired at the same time and iin season to do this bit, toward a healthier, happler Washington. In a city of over 400,000 people there are surely enough who have thought for the welfare of others to give these few dollars between now and Christmas I morning. —————————— An English novelist has printed a description of heaven. Earth has proved so baffling that he is justified in passing on to a realm where imag- ination may have wider scope and the prospect of less searching criticism. —————— Battleships may be regarded by tax- payers as temptations to nurse along liabilities when attention ought to be devoted to the accumulation of as- sets. ———e———— ‘While Europe comes to America to study possibilities of peacemaking, America is compelled to go to Europe to study bomb plots. The Car Service. According to reports received by the Public Utllities Commission from the local street railway system the service on those lines is now more nearly up to the standard fixed by the commis- sion than for several years. Both com- panies have put.more cars into service not only to meet the stress of the pre- holiday shopping rush but to care for the ordinary traffic. The Washington Railway and Electric Company, which in July was short sixty-four cars be- low the commission’s standard, had re- duced the shortage to less than thirty- two cars in October, whils the Capital Traction Company was only sixteen L THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, This stagdard calls for | { . ’ ‘ N 4 Atthe Arms !

It is regarded as one of the highest requirements in the United | States, and the close approach te it indicated by the figures just given shows that Washington has now prac. tically recovered from the intense con. gestfon felt here during the war period Some of the lines of the local sys- tem are now at the peak of thelr capacity at the time of heaviest traffic. That is, it Is impossible safely to put more cars in service during the rush hours on those lines. These are par- ticularly the 14th street branch of the Capital Traction and the 9th street branch of the Washington Rallway and Electric Company. In this situa- tion there are only two remedies for future congestion, which is sure to de- velop with the present equipment as the city grows in population. One of these is the adoptfon of larger cars and the other s the construction of additional tracks. The larger car, how- ever, is only a passing expedient. Ad- ditional tracks on the main trunks of travel are certain to be eventually needed. In this connection the question of a subway system is revived in public in- terest. At present there are tracks on 4th, 7th, 9th, 11th, 14th streets and Connecticut avenue. This sets a grill of tracks about as close as public security permits. Some streets must be left without tracks to accommodate vehicular traffic. If 5th, 6th, 8th, 10th, 12th and 13th streets were all filled with tracks the vehicle congestion and the danger would be intolerable. In these circumstances underground lines are plainly the surest and safest remedy for the conditions of today and those certain to come. This.is the sea- son to consider ways and means and plans for such & work, before the cap- ital is again choked beyond the safety point. —_———————— Chinese bandits who kidnaped the wife of the president of the south China republic selected an inoppor- tune moment for their operations.

V] F all the delegates of foreign powers attending the Wash- ton conference, few have been '’ so widely known In Washington diplomatic and social cir- cles in the past as Masanao Hani- hara, vice minister of foreign affairs of Japan. For a number of years Mr. Hanthara was stationed here as sec- retary of embassy, He was affec- tionately known te many as “Little Hanl,” and was a favorite in soclety in the capital. He returns to Washington plder by & number of years, more heavy set— in comparison to the slender little man he was when he first arrived as secretary (o the embassy. But he has the same infectious smile, the same little mannerisms as in former da: After he left Washington, Mr. Hani- hara was appointed Japanese con- sul general at San Francisco, reck- oned one of the most {mportant posts in the Japanese forelgn service, He was on duty there during 1916 and 1917 His return to Japan brought him still further promotion, the office Lof vice minister of foreign ffalrs. In {this office he succeeded Baron Shide- 'ham. now the United States, and also a mem- ber of the nese delegation. Mr. Haniha came to Washington to attend the ent conference as jchief secretary of the Japanese dele- gation. When Baron Shidehara fell ill soon after the opening of the con- fercnce, Mr. Hanihara, because of his wlide acqualntance with American af- {fairs and his known diplomatic abil- ity, was appointed as an additional member of the Japanese delegation. He was born at Yamanashikey in 1 which makes him forty-five vears old. He Is graduate of Wa- Redn University in the class of 1897. A year after he left college, Mr. Hanihara entered the services of the Japanese foreign office, and has re- mained in that service ever since. Mr. Hanihara speaks English fluent- ly, though with a declded accent. He is familiar with the {doms and “slang” The Troublesome Isle of Yap. The whole “Pandora’s box of trou- bles supposed to be in mtoro on Yap Island vanishes futo thin air” the Indlenapolis Star (independent repub- lican) declares, with the agreement just reached by the Japanese and American delegates to the Washing- ton conference regarding our rights in Yap, a settlement which, according to the Brooklyn Eagle (independent democratic) “responds to every Amer- ican demand.” The Yap fssue, while “of no great moment” In {tself, might have grown serious, the Atlanta Journal (demo- cratic) points out, if left uncomposed, for, “situated on a cable route In which America is materially interest- ed, the island, in unfriendly hands, could gravely interfere with our trade communications, an¢, if fortified with hostile intent, would be a positive menace to our stakes in the Pacific.” The way in which this “tiny little spot in the Pacific,” formerly a Ger- man possession, developed into an acute controversy is reviewed in the editorinl comment on the settlement. The Manchester Union (independent republican) recalls that “the Jap- anese took the island from the Ger- mans” and held it “by several dis- tinct rights—rights of conquest and treaty rights.” But the assignment of this mandate to Japan “was met by an immediate orous protest,” says the Cleve- land Plain Dealer (independent dem- ocratic), for “although the United States was not a member of the league it demanded full rights in the disposition of former German hold- ings.”” However, assuming full con- trol of the island under the mandate “Japan showed little indication of meeting the American demands,” and its reply to the American protest s most unconciliatory_in its spirit and wording.” Then, the Plain Dealer continues he league of nations, washing its hands of a business which it was manifestly powerless to settle, invited the- United States and Japan to reach an agreement by direct ne- gotiation.” 2 ‘Accordingly, the Providence Jour- nal (independent) relates, “in April last Secretary Hughes submitted to Japan * * * a brief in behalf of the position taken by the Harding ad- ministration, that ‘the United States could not_recognize the allocation of the Island of Yap or the validity of the mandate to Japan,'” and the set- tlement now made, the Journal holds, “satisfies every point raised in the April note.” 1" This “most amicable of understand- ings” has been reached “in the broadest possible terms,” which, as reported by the Pittsburgh Dispatch | (independent), are that “the island is inot to be fortified by Japan, and America is to be assured equal access and cable rights. In return America is to recognize the mandate given by he league of nations to Japan for the German islands north of -the equator.” Thus “practically all that President Wilson demanded as to the Island of Yap has been secured in the new treaty,” the Raleigh, N. C., News and Observer (democratic) feels, and the Buffalo Times (independent demo- {cratic) also finds that the pending treaty fulfills “the principles on which President Wilson insisted from the time the Yap question came to the front.” At the same time, the settlement is in some respects a compromise, as a number of writers point out. The {Sioux City Tribune (independent) notes that “America recedes from iher position that the former German i cables should be internationalized,” land the Boston Transcript (independ- ent republican) emphasizes that while | Sne obtaln the TIght to maintain & cable station at Yap,” we agree “to suspend the operation of that right so long as the ‘Japanese government shall maintain on the Island of Yap an adequate radio telegraphic sta- tion, co-operating effectively with the { cables and with other radio stations on ships and shore, without discrim- inatory exactions or preferences.” But shoulf discrimination . davelop, the Indianapolls News (independent) observes, the American government would still have the right to estab- lish its own service. The important point in the:treaty, as the Newark News (independent) sees it, is that “the principle of man- dates, one of the great creations of the league of nations, has been ac- cepted by the United States,” since by its terms “it recognizes Japan as the mandatory * * ® thus putting its seal of approval upon the league's work.” It goes further than mere recognition of the principle of man- dates, the Norfolk Virginian Pilot (independent democratic) believes;-it is- even “a conspicuous victory for decency in the administration of man- dates.” Referring to the probable “similar, arrangement” with Great Britain, the Springfield Republican (independent) remarks that “thus in a broad sense the agreement may be viewed as a efits enjoyed by the allies under the treaty of Versailles, which the United States was in danger of losing.” and taken in vonnection with- the treaty of Berlin by which the United States gains advantages which the treaty Versailles the allied powers, the new treaty, “is seen to be a part of n EDITORIAL DIGEST | of Japan as & world power. of this count of the other delegates are. 1 “It's all bun was his comment, | for instance, upon the suggestion that the Japanese had overrun all of the| province of Shantung. Mr. Hanihara, apparently engaged | the greater part of his time in social dutfes while on duty with the Jap- anese embassy here, was a close stu- dent of events. He has made rapid strides In his chosen career—that of diplomacy.

Financial Miracles. According to an announcement by the Farmers' National Council, which 18 workiIng in Washington for the re- establishment of the Unjted States Grain Corporation and a governmeént guarantee to the farmer of $2.50 per bushel for his wheat, the standard fourteen-ounce loaf of bread can | profitably be sold for 6 cents if farm- ers get $2.50 for thtir wheat simply by preventing profitcering by those Wwho operate between the farmer and the consumer of wheat product: | Here is an alluring prospect. No- | body begrudges the farmer $2.50 for | his wheat. Nor would any one object | to fourteen ounces of bread for a nickel. Such an arrangement would be ideal. However, before indorsing the plan too enthusiastically it is well to remember that there are only sixty pounds of wheat in a bushel when it starts for market, with a very material shrinkage by the time ! it is turned into flour ready for_the baker. Even on the original estimate, there would be but sixty-eight four-) teen-ounce loaves, retailing for $3.40, from which must be subtracted $2.50, the farmer's share of the transaction. Surely, under such an arrangement there would be little grounds for accusation of profiteering at least so far as the middleman and the baker and the others concerned in the transformation of wheat finto bread was concerned.—Detroit Free Press (independent). Reservations. The reservations which the United States government has made to the four-power pact In the Pacific pos- sessions were necessary on account of the failure of the United States Senate to accept the treaty of Ver-| sailles. The four-power treaty is a' conference treaty and not much else. | It requires that in case of disagree- ment among the four over their South | Sea island possessions they shall con- | fer and do the same to secure joint action if the rights of any one of the four are threatened by any other power. A good many of the islands in ques- | tion were disposed of by the Ver-| sailles treaty; they were assigned to the different powers for them to ex- ercise mandates over. When the United States refused to abide by m;} Wilson signature to the treaty the ! United States gave up any authority | conferred on it by the treaty. ! The_new “Lodge reservations” to the Washington four-power treaty reserve the American right to dispute if need be the mandates under the Versailles treaty and call for a new deal all around. Mandated territory under the major | treaty of peace signed at Versailles is of vital importance to the United States and the State Department has been busy on this matter since the new administration took hold.

Re- | tail coal dealers complain that the people are not buying coal as they aid last vear because the price is too high. They are holding back their orders in the hope that the operators, the railroads or somebody else will soon relent und cause the prices to go down.
