Only recently attention has been qulled to the fact that according to a provision in the peace treaty, which had not been generally knewn. it wonld be operative when three of the allied nations and Germany have af- fixed their signatures thereto. There are reasons to believe that ihis step wwas taken as the result of the meve fnade by ltaly when jts delegates|doing at all times. . this might operate against the 1n: ests of the United States since the other countries would be getting the benefit of an earlier resumption of trade with Germany in case the other leading powers signed without ® this country, and it became necessary for the United States to arrange a wepa- rate understanding. made in aviation in the last few ¥ The honors thus of bringing forth the heavier than air machine that would only a question of being able to cai a sufficient supply of gasoline and he- ing able to meet weather conditiors. degree be attributed to the | asons to believe on .o appointment of 1 n as & mamber of ‘he o efficiant op- I electrical de- ance that men e government took hold mount it is claimed by Di- because of the un- Wt year together with good work denme by the Sal nor to disulay | 15 withdrew. It was undsrstyod previ- ously that it would be necessary ter all to sign in order to avoid a separaie peace, but this provision means that it will go into operation when three of the principal allied natisns have af- fixed their signatures. There has been some concern lest Such, however, seems to be a bit overdrawn when it is realized that this country is already extensively en- gaged in forwarding goods many, that it is depended upon to provide many of the supplies that are required there and that we are fur- nishing it more than any other coun- try. And yet why should we be wor- rying about other countries beating us out in the resumptien of trade with Germany when we have been saying persistently that we want nothing more to do with made in Germany stuff? The provision thus seems to have caused a lot of needless aniety. > Ger- THE FIRST TO CROSS. By the arrival of the American sca- plane NC-4 at Lisben, Pertugal, the Atlantic ocean has bheen crossed in the air and though the projected trip of the American fliers will not end until they arrive in England, it has been clearly shown what strides have been ars. fiy and the making of the first trans- atlantic croesing go to Americans, and certainly the country has reason to be {proud of the accompiishments. It is of course true that a non s*op flight has not as yet been made but what has been done simply demon- |strates that the time is coming when it will be possible to make the flight from shore to shore without halting at the Azores. With the Am can sea- plane of the NC type it is apparently That Americans sheuld succced where the others who have tried the flight have failed must to a o that were made in behall of s i not to be supposed that great r was uot invelved even then but jom of the precautions rather than ip on the W perfectly it What progress Is being made i1 the vigation of the air could have no nstration,. A few vears such was nothing more than a dream and )et today no one to forecast what the limits of aviation will be and in comnectior with it all too great credit cannot be ven to those who have risked and are willing to risk thcir 1 bringing about the develepments. PROPER PROTECTION FOR PUB- Lic. Not much surprise will be manifest- ed at the fact that the proprietor of 4 store in Maryland has been arrested on the charge of violating the revenue luw, when it is claimed in connection therewith that he has been increasing the price of his goods under the plea that the rajse was due to the tax that has been imposed by the govern- ment. And it will not be unexpecied i 4 good many more dealers through- out the country are brought befors United States commissioners for the very same reason for it is to be re- membered that there is a penalty for ascribing part of a price to a tax Wk it §s known “that such a statement false, or that the tax is not so as (he portion of such price a to such tax.” The government agents are appar- ently giving attention to an abuse which is frequently indulged in. It is an easy thing to say that the price of «a certain article jumps five cents, ten cents or whatever it may be because of a tax or a jump in the whole cost, when as a matter of fact the ad- ditional cost or the tax may be only a small part of that increase. The injustice of such misrepresen- tation and such profiteering can be fully appreciated, and it is certainiy time that the government got busy in giving the public the protection that it deserves, th: EDITORIAL NOTES June 2, is city election day. in mind. Mone Keep ne looks in vain for the time when the profiteer will get all he wants. The man on the corner says: You don’t have to wait long to find out that all the circuses are not in tents Probably Harry Hawier doesn't want to do much thinking about what might have happened had he been forced to descend in a fog. Now that the Germans have made a thorough survey of the situation, ev- erything continues to point to the fact that Germany is going to sign. B It is certainly evident that the mavy department hasn’t been amie to con- trol the weatherman in connection with the flight acress the Atlantic. Without a deubt General Foch be- lieves that the Germans will sign tho treaty, but if we know Foch he would etter satisfied if they did not. Tt is entirely possible that the breaking forth of the Stromboli vol- cano is in complete accord with the feeling of the Ttalian people just now. From the way in which they are enjoying themselves it looks as if the Ausirian delegates were ready to sign the treaty even before they have seen it.
