One of the matters to which the = presented the peace treaty to the enate spent his whole time in sup- ting the league of nations. This is he part of the treaty that has # onj e most under fire and it is the part] o which practically all the objiection as been gaised in this country the ection Being not to the idea, the the provisions, but| believed to} of this It has been pointed out on more han one asion that there are pro- icns of the league that should not ost.

Germany has o do to meet its obligations will be through such trade that get the opportunity it seeks and have, and there can be little auestion but what the trade can be re- sstablished and developed once it gets the chance. therefore for its swn welfare it has voted early ratification. T MA‘(A.; A DIFFERENCE. 1t is It e to overlook, in con- aection with the announcement that has bee ie by Great Britain to the is going to dispose of vornout warships by auc- his method is in decided what it took a leading roposing to do with the Ger- ships that had been interned Flow. what the British and others Ivocated, the sending to the m of these ships, many of which modern and had participated in :gemente of the war, has taken iace. Many of the ships are in Davy nes’ locker where they will remain. so far as that’country is con- orned, except for the manner in ich it was done and the fact that Sermany gets credit for it where oth- ers would have, there can be no re- grets, but it is to be noted that when Great Britain seeks to dispose of old vessels it does not resort to the same method that it recommended. There was as much value involved in connection with the German. ves- sels, ship for ship, as there is in con- maction with the ones that Great Brit- ) speech in Des/| { that it as -net been po: ain is about to discard, and in fact in- asmuch as the latter have outlived their usefulness there was probably more. It is" therefore difficult to un- derstand why, if it was not possible to distribute the German vessels among the associated powers, or if because of their construction which would not fit in with the ideas of other navies it was not. desired to take them over for use as warships, this same pian of putting them up for auction or sell- ing them for junk should not have been urged. The idea of wasting on such a large scale when there are so many uses to which such value as represented could be put is deplorable. In fact Great Britain recognizes this when it comes to its own ships, so it makes a difference whose ships %re involved. - PURSUE THE PROFITEER. While it cannot fail to be realized that prices must of necessity be above normal these days, there is no getting| & away from the fact that they are there, and though there is a natural tendency to compare prevailing prices with those of the past the burden or} the complaint is directed against those that are unreasonable and appear to be controlled by the profiizers. Just how much wond be tned through an investigation into the matter of high prices there is no way of telling, but there can be no ques- tion but what every -effort should be ade to force tho profiteers to ‘their knees. There is no more reason why they should be -tolerated now than during the war or at any other time, and whatever can be done to get the consumer out of, their clutches would be a much welcomed change. There is now before the house rules committee a resolution calling for the naming of a commpittee of ten, equally divided as to party fof the purpose of investigating the high cost of living and to make ‘“recommendations as to such law or laws as. will, in its judg- ment, reduce the cost of the necessi- | ties of life. stop profiteering and punish the g Such a tommittee would of course| direct its”inquiry to the general ques- | tion, but if would nevertheless give special aftention to the glaring evi- dences of Injustice in the matter of' prices, and it is against such i » rather than those where there is a d. position t6 be fair that the most of the | complaining is dohc. The profiteers can be expected to try to prevent any such investigation but they deserve no mercy and wherever they can be lo- delegates who are Paris need to give their early ion is the ad- justment of the Fiume question. This is made evident by the friction that has developed in that city between the Italian and French troops and it is being because of that and the situation in Th for a plang that have been advanced and the problem has been hanging fire lcng time. In spite of all the discussions that have taken place, it doesn’t seem to be any nearer a set- tlement than it was at the start and the longer ii remains open the great- becomes tiic uneasiness. The fact ble to reach an agreéement dées not by any means | justify tne trcuble among the troops. It was cert: deplorable to think that those who had been standing shoulder to shoulder:fighting a com- mon enemy should turn their weapons ach other ciesing death and but it ‘gives evilence of thx foeling ‘that has been aroused and makes it plain that every effort| should be made to reach an early and| factory adjustment. a.of-what the situat to be Rhere uniess the hout advantage: des in the d what ready Though the lonial \nmp\ are not Jugo- e said to have espoused expressed £o that unless the Fiume n s/ 1 i { French coi slavs they their cause their feelings, question is seftled right it is bound to be a source of-troublé to that whole section that will keep it in anything| but a peaceful and satisfied state.

It looks as if the former crown prince expected that he was going to frighten the allies by declaring that he would never be taken alive. Such a thing could not, of course, happen to a dead one. Our army autos are said to be bring- ing high prices in England. That is possibly the place where we ought to have sold our surplus airplanes which were disposed of for a tenth of what they cost. A great many people will be tickled to pieces to think that the depart- ment of agriculture agrees with them in considering that the meat prices are excessive, but that doesn’t change the effect on the pocketbook.
