Given a general knowledge of what afe “fair prices” in any community, the weight of publie opinion and pub- licity is relied upon to correct abuses by retailers, while the threat of the law will be used against the packers and against food hoarders who can be reached under the war-time food mct or the Sherman law. The public will expect to see the legal prosecu- tions pushed with vigor and thor- oughness to the end.that the respon- sibility for undue increases in food cdsts may be placed where it belongs. On the surface it appears that the especulators who are carrying large stores of perishable food in ware- heuses must disgorge. Cold storage Has been perverted from its original beneficent purpose until it is used as 2 club to extort higher prices. What would be a boon in preserving sur- plus food for use in a time of short- age has been turned into withholding it until the shortage became so great that inordinate profits would accrue to the speculator. Just how far this practice has gone will be one of the Points developed by judicial inquiry. Deliberate profiteering comes very close to deliberate robbery and it is the expectation that the government action will be so widespread that the truth will be brought out. once for. all. Official promises from Washington are heartening as far as they do. If they are followed by commensurate official activity, we should not wait long for the relief so much desired. GREECE AND THRACE. ~The proposatl of the allied council to divide Thrace into three parts, only of which would be assigned to ece, is ot reeeived with favor by Greeks. Théy claim that on the théory of self-détermination Thrace ingits entirety should be handed over to*Greece, and they protest particular- Iy against any part of the country ing under the rule of Buigaria. uch a reward for a defeated ene- my would be an outrage in their opin- ion and ally in the case of the brutal Bulgarians. Equally unjust would it be to leave any part of the coantry under the control of the Turks, for it was Buigarian and Turk ish ferocity that had massacred 500,- #00 men. women and children of Greek nationality -since 1914. America’s support of their aspira- tions for the complete control of Thrace is due for the part men of the Greek race piayed under the Ameri- ean flag is another point in their en- treaty that the Washington govern- ment should endorse their claim up- on Thrace. In the American army were. 65,000 Greek soldiers. Of an ex- panding Bulgaria only the same ruth- les® spirit towards other nationalities is to be expected as has always been shown. Coupied with the claim for Thrace Is aiso the claim for northern Epi- rus, the twelve islands of the Aegean and western Asia Minor, in all of which the principle of national deter- mination strengthens their position, they say the facts abundantly show. * JAPAN AND SHANTUNG. R has long been the fashion to re- gafd Japanese diplomacy and diplo- matic utterances as_ invested with a i too much of Oriental ingenuous- aess to be accepted exactly at their face value. In such a light will be riswed the quoted remarks of Viscount Uchida, Japanese foreign minister who declares that Japan does not in- hd to claim any rights affecting ‘he territorial sovereignty of China in Shantung. President Wilson Hhas expressed rimself as entirely satisfied with this “frank” statemént, but there yet re- main to be explained away some of he previous pronouncements by Ja- as to its intentions towards this iice of China, the richest province of et country. “Eventual restoration to China” eems like a fair enough promise, but et us see. In the Japanese ultimatum ©!China, delivered on May 7, 1815, it s shown that Japan was then intend- ng'to hold on to Shantung, for the ul- imatum contains these words: From he' commercial and military point of Amw, Kiaochow is an important place, n'the acquisition of which the Japan- .empire sacrificed much blood and ::ntm and after the acquisition the tpire incurs no liability to restore it » China. ‘When Tokyo made its “twenty-one emands” upon Pekin, China’s reply acluded a demand for unconditional ernment is, on the vlwle, vim ud meaningless. Fige A threat of war was plainly read %also when the Japanese ultima- tum concluded - with = “The "imperial government hereby again offer its ad- vice and hope the Chinese . govern- | ment, upon this advice, will give & satisfactory reply by € o'clock p. m., on the 9th day of May. It fs hereby declared that if no satisfactory reply is-received before or at the specified time, the imperial governmment will take steps they deem necessary.” Helplessly China was forced to com- ply with the Japanese ‘démands and sign secret treaties which the ar- rangement at Paris would make valid. Military and commereial advan- tages of such consequence once in the hands of the astute Japanese are too precious to be surrendered with a wave of the hand. RECIPROCITY WITH CANADA. Canadian Liberals are raising the banner of reciprocity with the United States just at a time when congress iis considering the repeal of the Ca- nadian. reciprocity bill of 1911 which has stayed in force for eight years, though the anti-reciprocity vote in Canada made it a dead law. Commer- cial union with the United States promises to be one of the issues of the Canadian campaign over which a. hot lflght will be waged. The Dominion Liberals have put for- ward as cheir standard bearer William Lyon McKenzie King, who is a for- mer fellow of Harvard and was min- ister of labor for a time in the Laurier ministry in Canada which went down to deieat before Sir Robert Borden on the reciprocity issue. The new fceling of Anglo-Saxon brotherhood fostered by our associa- tions in the war is sure to haye its ef- fect upon the Canadian peopie and it would be a poor time for congress to do anything to spoil the chance for increasing reciprocity of kindly feel- ing which would follow a reciprocity in_trade relatigns. The Liberals in the Dominion are denouncing the defeat of reciprocity and are demanding government econ- omy. Costs of government have run up to $100 per capita of population. Great Britain and the United States, it is said, raise 80 per cent. from di- rect taxes; Canada raises only 20 per cent. in that way. *“National disaster wil) overtake the country should the present method of financing. the coun- try’s affairs be continued.” PLANTING TREES. Not so very long ago when the East- ern Connecticut Chamber of Com- merce held its outing at Webster, Jo- seph T. Cruttenden, a former presi- dent of the chamber, advocated a plan for the beautifying of the Mohe- gan Trail by the planting of trees alongside the road, until, bit by bit, as each town took up its own section of road, we should have a long ave- nue flanked and arched with beautiful foliage. So far as known Mr. Crut- tenden's proposal seems to have fallen upon deaf ears. In Mr. Cruttenden’s suggestion the utilitarian aspect of tree planting was not emphasized, but a prediction made by Charles Lathrop Pack, president of the American Forestry Association, brings this point to prominence. He tells us that it will not be long be- fore our forests will all be gone and e appeals to individuals to embark upon tree planting since there is no national policy along this line that is pursued with any sort of consistency. Like the Eastern Connecticut man Mr. Pack also sees in the waste land fringing highways-an admirable place for tree planting, whose results to one generation would be a beautifying ot the landscape and to the next the needed reinforcement of our timber of our original $5¢.000,000 acres there remaifs now but one-fourth and no adequate new supply is being grown, for the new growth is but one-third of the amount annuaily used or destroyed. Forest conservation was a_passion with Gifford Pinchot, who received some support from the Roosevelt ad- ministration, but since he went out from Washington, there has been lit- tle practical interest there in Amer- ican forestry. So that Mr. Pack makes his appeal to his fellow citi- zens, each to plant a tree, or better, several trees. EDITORIAL NOTES.

OTHER VIEW POINTS The Railroad Brotherhoods claim to control two million votes. Even so., Two million votes is only a frac- tion of the American electorate. And the question is not the inherent jus- tice or injustice of ‘the demands of the Brotherhoods; the question i s: are intelligent American voters out- side of the Raiiroad Brotherhoods prepared to submit to the dictation of the Railroad Brotherhoods, or of any other minority of the electroate? Is the congress of the United States representing the majo: of -citizens of the free republic to be subjected to dictation, bulldozing, to be clubbed into submitting to the present demands of the Brotherhdods? If so representative government in the Unit- ed States is at an end.

Mr. Lansing appeared before the committee on foreign relations on Wednesday and the result was the most surprising that has been record- ed in the confused search for facts. The simple truth is, as disclosed by a careful reading of his testimony, that he has nothing of value to present. He has information here and there, and.he gave it readily, but he knows little more of what should be known of “open covenants onenly arrived at"” then the senate itself. As our old friend the fisherman guide would say: “There haint been no sech thing.” The only man on the American peace com- mission who possesses the information the country should have of what oc- curred at the conference is Mr. Wilson. He was his own counsellor, his own guide, and his own philosopher. Mr. Lansing’s knowledge of events during his long stay in Paris is painfully limited and there is no reason to be- lieve that his four associates have any more with the possible, but not probable, exception of Colonel House.
