Having arrived finally at a realiza- tion that something must be done to stabilize relations between Germany and her former enemies if a break down and possible war are to be averted, members of the reparations commission are making determined if belated efforts to arrive at an under- standing and common policy. The latest move is to postpone until Wed- nesday a vote on Germany's request for a three-year moratorium, and to offer the German government an op- portunity to present its case anew in the meantime. It is not to be expected that a Te- statement of the German arguments will throw any new light on the com- plicated questions involved. The real benefit of the delay is that it allows two more days during which efforts will be made to reconcile the British and French viewpoints and to main- tain a united front. The threat of sep- arate French action to enforce the treaty terms has strained relations be- tween Paris and London almost to the breaking point, and as Belgium has lined up with France, and Italy has supported the British position, the danger has been imminent that the former allies would soon be divided; into two hostile groups, a thing at which German policy has aimed since the day the armistice was signed. The interests of France and Great Fritain in the question of reparations are so vitally different that prospect of reconciling their views would be almost hopeless were it not that both have a still more vital interest in pre- venting a rupture of friendly relations hetween them. Both Lloyd George and Poincare have indulged in conslderable loose talk as to what their respective governments will and will not do, but i+ is encouraging to note that as the time approaches when a decision must be made neither is as reckless as his pronouncements might have seemed ta indicate. Prospect of a break in the accord between Great Britain and ¥rance, when that prospect comes close to the point of realization, is so sobering a matter that it constitutes today the best hope that'an eleventh- | hour solution of the reparations prob- lem will be found. Two principal things seem neces- sary to a solution. The first is to agree upon a reparations program which it is possible for Germany to carry out. The second is to give Germany to un- derstand that, come what may, Great WBritain and France will stand to- gether in enforcing that program to the letter. The difficulty in the past has been that it was questionable whether Germany could meet the reparations terms even if she tried; therefore, she has not tried. If terms are laid down which clearly are within the power of Germany to meet, and the allies present a solid front, the Ferlin government can and will do & areat deal more than it has done in the past in the way of reparations pay- ments. ———————————————— Should the government take over the coal business the average citizen will be glad to facilitate the delivery of coal as he does the work of the let- ter carriers. —_———————— The position of the general public hecomes distressful when capital does not capitalizc efficiently and labor ceases to work industriously. e ——————————— The congressional candidate who prefers introducing a vaudeville pro- zram to facing a questionnaire shows discretion. A Government Building Plan. As a business proposition there should be no dissent to the plan just proposed by the Postmaster General and approved by the President for the purchase or construction of post office huildings by the government through- out the country. At present the United States is paying annually about $12,- 000,000 in rents for postal quarters. At 6 per cent this works out at a capital of $200,000,000. But in point of fact the government's rent payments are at a higher rate than 6 per cent, for in many cases the sum paid is as high as 10 per cent of the actual value of the property. It is computed that the United States could borrow the money at 4 per cent to supply the necessary building fund and equip itseif through- out with government-owned postal buildings and save enough over and above the annual interest on the bonds to supply a substantial sinking fund. The policy of renting buildings for government use is always wasteful. Repeatedly this has been demonstrated in Washington, where large sums are paid out annually for the use of pri- vately owned quarters that are usually inadequate and unsuited- and often badly located. From year to year the work of consiructing permanent gov- ernment-owned buildings has been postponed on the plea of econbomy, while the rents have piled up to the point of exceeding in a little while the first cost of construction. Take the matter of the purchase of the western end of the Mall-Avenue triangle for an example. That site waw secured by condemnation ‘a dozen or more years ago, to be used for three buildings, to house the State, Justice and Commerce-Labor departments. It 8 found {5 be t0o small for jalso spread outside. [ |and a third site for the other depart- even two structures. Meanwhile pri- vate quarters have been erected and rented for the Justice, Commerce and Labor departments—three now ins‘ead of two—while the State Department congested in the granite three-offl building west of the White House and Had the government bullt at once two buildings on the “five-square site,” and acquired and buflt on a second ments, it would by this time practical- 1y have saved the cost of construction in the rentals that have in this period been pald for rented quarters. In this matter of post offices, more- over, there is another consideration of importance equal to that of economy. These buildings are scattered all over the country. In most places they are the. sole tangible evidence of govern- ment. They are the centers of com- munity interest. There the people come into contact with the United States directly. If they get their mail in shabby, make-shift quarters, per- haps transformed stores, they get a wrong idea of the government. It loses in dignity and force. In every community in this country the United States should be present in the form of a, public-owned, specially designed, suitable structure for the delivery and collection of the mails. It would be worth while providin® such an equip- ment, even if the net cost were twice the present estimate. Inasmuch as a government-building plan is certain to be economical as well, it will be folly to postpone its adoption and speedy execution. C Radicals and the Strike. Four men, it is reported, are being held under arrest in Chicago for com- plicity in the railroad wreck at Gary, where a train was derailed by the pull- ing of a number of spikes from the rails and the engineer and fireman were killed. One of them, it is stated, has confessed, saying that the spikes were pulled because it was desired to “get" the engine crew in order to make other crews afraid to run their trains. The plot was conceived by fol- lowers of Lenin and the Russian so- viet, who also are striking shopmen. Immediately, doubtless, will come an outery from strike headquarters that these arrests are ‘“frame-ups,” | that the men taken have no connec- tion with the unions and that the po- lice have faked the confessions. That is the usual course. It should be an easy matter to determine whether the men in custody are strikers. The union rolls should be accessible for examination. The confession of one of them can be tested. If he has told the truth no amount of denial can break down the force of it, while if he has told a lie, under compulsion perhaps, the story will not stand uvp in court. ‘The membership of the unions to- day, especially in the west, is not free tendent of state Instruction Marrs leads Bentley, who is &lso said to have had kian indorsement. Davidson has 86,000 the brtter of the count to date, Terrell 61,000 the better and Marrs 12,000. H These Iatter figures serve to show that on a straight question the klan has not carried the primary, although the candidate it favored for the sens- torship at present count nearly 60,000 the better of the poll. So the question of whether the “invisible gov- ernment” rules in Texas remains un- settled, unless the defeat of those can- didates which it supported without complications on other issues can be regarded es settling it in the negative. @Gov. Cox Abroad. ‘While abroad, Gov. Cox has been re- celving distinguished attention in every country he has visited. In Pdrls he dined with M. Poincare. In Rome he met the leading officials, and had an interview with the Pope. In Berlin he had a long interview with Chan- cellor Wirth. In England, where he is winding up his visit, he. has just lunched with Mr. Lloyd George. He is still talking up the league of nations. He is still of the opinion that the Paris peace treaty should have been ratified by the United States Sen- ate without reservations. He is now in favor of American participation in the affairs of Europe, with a view of helping to bring order out of the chaos existing there. His suggestions and opinions are being cabled home. Are they influencing opinion abroad about American affairs and possible and probable early American action about European affairs? The Euro- peans know that Gov. Cox is under discussion at home in connection with another try at the presidency. and with their limited knowledge of the American situation they may be figur- ing him as successful in 1924 on a platform committing this country to a program yoking it up with Europe. Questioned on the point of his atti- tude toward the democratic nomina- tion in 1924, Gov. Cox sald in Londos “I am more interested in the cause of progressive government in my own country and of international co-opera- tion than in any personal candida- ture.” A clever attempt at an evasion, but it did not evade. Gov. Cox is a candidate all right. f Hugo Stinnes appears to have more leisure for the discussion of German problems than President Ebert; owing, possibly, to the fact that he is not sub- jected to the anxious economies inci- dental to & salary paid in paper marks. ! The Mayfleld vote does not neces- sarily imply that Texans approve of Ku Klux. The inference to be drawn is that they are not afraid of its as- serting an overwhelming influence. from such radicalism as that which is indicated in ihe Chicago case. It is well known that a certain element has gained 2 foothold in the organizations in most of the crafts and trades. Re- cently ihe American Federation of La- ber canceled the charter of an organi- zation of bookkeepers and accountants in New York because of the pro- nounced sovietism of a small group that had gained control. This man Foster, just taken in Chicago in con- nection with the Michigan raid on a meeting of reds, has been working for several years to form the ‘“one big union” that is the dream of the Indus- trial Workers of the World and the communists. The story told in Chicago is logical and believable. No other motive could easily be conceived f6r the wrecking of the train than to throw a scare into the railroad company and the crews. Had the wreck seemed to be of the ordinary character there would have been no warning. Every train crew takes its chances with the usual risks of railroading on every trip. By pull ing the spikes the disaster was made plainly the work of those who wich the operation of the roads to stop. It was a direct threat. ‘When the present troubles have been adjusted it will be the task of the unions, of all kinds, to purge their ranks of those who hold with Lenin, the communists, the “one big union- " the I. W. W.'s, the radicals of all sorts and stripes. They are trying to get control, and their interests are diametrically opposed to those of the conservative workers, who are satis- fled to let law govern, and who believe that the present form of American! government is good enough. —_——— i Englishmen say Americans are too much impressed by titles.

In the racé betweenMayfield and Ferguson, the former governor, Mayfleld was by the hooded order and Ferguson was opposed. But there were other elements in their race. Ferguson was under the handi- cap of the charges that were once made against him which caused his ouster from the governorahip. Further- more, he ran on a wet platform, while Mayfleld had the support of the Anti- Saloon League. 'It is impossible to de- termine how far the old charges and his wet advocacy hurt Ferguson with !

Along the lonely road I sped. My lights shone dim, not far ahead. And shadows strange cast by the moon Threw hints of danger threatening soon. There, near a hilltop or a bend, The lonely road appeared to end.

ENATOR RALPH CAMERON of S Arizona and a friend were walk- ing down F street the other day when “Ralph,” as all his friends call him, happened to notice three motor cars parked near one of the big hotels. He stopped, studied the autos for a min- ute or 5o, and then sald: “0dd coincl- dence; there is a car that bears the name of one of the greatest Presl- dents that ever lived, the next one has the same name as that of a demo- cratic President and the other one is named after the man that some peo- ple are trying to get up a boom for in 1924." The cars lined up were the Lincoln, Cleveland and the one that is made by Henry. * Xk ¥k X LONE little figure in black stood at the grave of the unknown sol- dier, her quivering lips seemed to be uttering a prayer—a prayer that she might be strong in her hour of sor- row. In her eyes stood great wells of tears that at last, despite her efforts to be brave, slowly trickled down her cheeks. Thoughtless men who had nbt realized the great significance of the monument erected to the nameless hero had stood with covered heads. As it by a command from the con- science they uncovered. Their actions appeared to soften her sorrow, for she had commanded silently, and without a word, the proper respect for the country's hero. She was a gold star mother, one of the noble band that with heavy hearts, sald good-bye to a loved one. E * k k% Som: TIME ago the country aroused by the questionnaire that Thomas A. Edison devised. A few evenings ago the matter was referred to by a couple of lately returned mem- bers of the House of Representatives, and one of them, a rather observing individual, said that he was preparing a questionnaire that he was going to submit to Edison. Said inquiries con- sisting of: Why is it that sailors, when on shore, always spend their vacation period by engaging a row- boat and spending three or four hours in the hot sun pulling at the sweeps?

The failure of the London confer- ence, like that of its predecessors, was anticipated by the newspapers of the country.

Until poli- tics can be banned, and the United States brought in as a particip: American editors see little hope for a European conference preparing any plan of permanent world stability. The Newark News voices the gen- eral sentiment in an editorial headed with Lord Salisbury’s words to Lord Lytton, “Time to Throw the Carcasses Out.” 'In its opinion the recent Lon- don’ conference of premiers “failed as completely as the twelve precedmfi meetings of the supreme council,” an the News places the blame for this failure on the fact that the supreme council “is a political organization. Submission of the question to the repa- rations commission is a ‘“step in the right _direction,” it concedes. but, until the United States takes a hand, there can be little hope. It may be” says the News in conclusion, “that America will have its eyes opened by the neces- sities of trade and International com- merce; but, whatever may be the in- fluence that sets our people thinking rightly on that subject, they will be led on to realize that they have been stick- ing to the blind carcass of a blind partisan prejudice, and that their anti- league policies must be thrown out be- fore France can get satisfactory guar- antees and the reparations problem be settled. The drift in this dllreeuon grows steadily more noticeable." Asserting that Europe is “dead- locked.” the Louisville Courier-Jour- nal is convinced that this country could break that deadlock, but it asks whether “‘we can feel sure that an ad- ministration of our government which has proved itself miserably incompe- tent to'attend to the business of its own -country would be of material assistance in attending to the busi- ness of Europe?’ Unfriendly criti- cisms of the French attitude are, in the opinion of the Syracuse Herald. rather far fetched inasmuch as while that attitude is “deplorable, it is not strange,” in view of the French need or reparations payments, and “we cannot for & moment pretend that there is anything sinister, enigmati- cal or indefensible about it” En- larging on this viewpoint, the Rich- mond News-Leader insists that “in simple Jjustice, therefore, America owea it to Europe to formulate a def- inite policy and announce it."
