From the first the attitude of Pres- ident Wilson has been that if he could fiot have the treaty of peace the way he ted it he would not have it et all 0 far as the special session of congress is concerned the treaty is dead. What effofts will be made in its behalf at the coming session fe- mains to be seen but it is quite evi- dent that no pregress can be made i s attempted to urge it on the same basis as insistéd upon by thé administration in the ‘past. lven though it could not fail to be understood that there was sufficient opposition to certain features of the document by the senate to prevent its ratification, it has been doggedly in- sisted that it must go through un- changed regardless of the « fact that treaty making is to be dofie “With the advice and consent of the senate.” The senate has. been regarded simply as a figurehead in the whole matter and it is the pursuit of that course to which must be attributed in a large degree the present failure. Knowing the attitude' that -w manifested, knowing the way in which the senate had heen ignored and hav- ing received evidence that there could he ro expectation of having the treaty ratified except that all danger to our constitution and national welfare was removed, it possible to have lirought abou compromise had there beon that disposition oft the oagt of the dnunisgation. Bnut it was @ cazt of take it or leave it and the senate has eft it. The result is that we are not ti to any entangling alliances. We same free and independent ha- we have been/ and American- nds that we remaifn such. ult is a defeat for the pre: ent and the administration. The r sponsibility cannot be aveided and the al victory for' the time ‘being spems 1o have been won LY théirre- “oncllables. It doesn’t mean that this country or the senate doesn't want wars prévent- ed, it doesn't mean that e are against a league of nations or certain features sf the treaty, but it dees medn that we are not going to put our neck un- der the foot of Eugpye. afé the SUGAR FOR EXPORT. The question has been’ raised. and it seems with a good deal of reason, as to why steps are not takbn to check the exportaiion of sugar when it i laimed that milliéns of pounds a week are being sent out of the count: demand for sugar here is great the available Supply. Wé are receiv- ing millions of pounds each week but all of it is not stayitie hete, and if as claithed this I8 because a better price can be obtained for it by sending it abroad 4§ is certainiy time that we began to 100k aftér our own require- meits, We hat besn tild chnt unless the centrol now exercised by the sugar €q ion beard is continued that we can expect to pay anywhere from 18 to 25 cents a pound for sugar. Al- ready the sale of sugar not within the board's control has been authorized so that retailers woilld have to pay over cents for it, which would mean probably nothinZ less than 22 for the onsumer, ahd ftere is talk of im- porting sugar from other countries, which if not commianding as high a price ag this would be close to it. And this is beéing done, while we are being made to pay such prices. millions of pounds a week are going elsewhere which ought to go to the consumers for 11 to 12 cents a pound. In order to supply ourselves first we have placed an embargo on coal. It s urged that all exportation of hews- seems to be no good reason why the same tactics should not be used in lnsuring a sufficient supply of sugar for the people of this country dt the present price mstead of pérmitting conditions that will greatly increase the price and open the way to bigger business for the profiteers and un- scrupuious dealers at a time when prices should be ceming down instead of going up. MEXICO’S ATTITUDE. Consul Jenkins' report of what transpired when and after he was kidnapped in Mexico is in the hands of the state department. What fur- ther aection this gevernment plins- to taks is not revealed but there was certainly reason fer the cabinet mem- bers taking an kour or se to give eon- sideration to the ceries of events, of whieh the Jenkirs case was only one, that Has cc.urred there in the last few weeks. There wos®. time when we !¢ nothing becsuse we bad 4 watchs tul waiting nolicy. There eamé a tithe when it was said had been wbandoned dut if such is the ease it Is hard to tell what has taken its place. The receipt of the Jenkins re- port, however, ought to clear up any doubt that may exist regarding cer- tain features of that casé and the pyb- lic will await with interefit the time when it will be made ublic. But right on top of that affair comés the story of the killing of an Ameri- can by a Mexiean police officer in Mexicali, which thé state @epartment Seclares was unwarranted ahd a# tha result of which the Mexican authori- lies have been urged by this country ‘0 see that the guilty one is caught md punished. When Jenkins Wa§ i kidnapped our demards were to the effect that Mexico 6o everything pos- sible to bring about hiy safe return, but if, as plarined, it had been left to that géverriment it is likely thaf Jenkins would still bé in the hands of the banditsl And yet because he'ef- fected His ¢Wn release he is being charged by Mexico with complicity In the plot.. v A Mexico seemingly doesn't ‘intend to exert itse!f to properly protect peace- ful Americans as long as it interprets the attitude of this country the way it does, and just as long as Mexico is not keld to its obligations it can be expected that its policy will remain unchanged. MOVING THE COAL. Production of soft coal is far below what it_was previous to the first of November. There are indications that it is increasing but not in proportion to the demands. 'There are sections where schools, public institutijons and industries have beén e¢losed or are threatened with it wuniesy theres can be secureq @& sufficient supply of fuel and thefe dre sections where this shortage is going to mean much suf- tering unless relieved. While it cannot be expected that the mines in operation will produce sufficiefit to meet the cituation evén with the utilization of anthracite, it must_be realizéd that with the fe- duced number of places where mining is be'gg done there ought té be no scareity of tars with which to trans- port the production of the mines in cperatipn, Yet cHe same a8 during the previous period when the fuel ad- winistration was doing business there 1§ o controversy now as to whether there aré stfficient cars being pro- vided to meet the situation. It is the claim of the American Coal Journdl that a large paft of the 280,- 0006 tons of bituminous coal tied up on the docks at Hampton Roads, because of the embargo on ceal exports, is still ih cars an@ the estimate is that 30,000 loaded cars are standing because coal cannot be sent out of the country. The coal embargo was for the pur- posé of relieving the shortage here but if it is not being used for domes- tic needs and is being kept in cars it is neither helping to reduce the short- age nor relieving the suffering. It would seefn that this coal ought to be moving to points where it is needed, arid while 30,000 carleads of coal might not be enough to accomplish all desired it would hel and the cars would be (avallable for other ship- ment§ which they aresnot now. CONVINCING EVIDENCE. In spite of the experiefices aleng such lines there are those who are still working for government ownership of the railroads ard otheér public utili- ties without apparently giving any consideration {n the unfavorable ex- amples and the detrimental reatures connected therewith. We nove had two lessons to which autertion cannot fail to be given when the . question of govérnment cwner: ship is advanced. These are the Luk- ing ovét by the government of the railroads and the wire lines of the country during the war, toe latter hav- ing now beer returned and the for- mer waiting to be. The government did not acquire the linés but it was responsible for (hieir management Witk the resuit that thé goVernmenit inust pay “the - telegraph companies over fourtéén and a 1f million dol- which is ihe erence between nconte of the roads during gov- crament control and that which was by the government based upon previsus earnings of the com- panies. A to the railroads there is already {a acficit of over a quartet 6f 4 billioh, i incurred by the government this year and this in spite of the rates on the roads and the tolls on the wires were promptly increased above what the compafiles twere formerly alléwéd to charge. This plafnly shows what can be expected from governieht manage- meht for even with the means of get- ting greater revenue and competition climinatéd it couldn't make end meet, yct large indastrial enterprises ! were operated at a profit during the n¢ periog uhder private control. Soms of the railroads, however, promise to be left in such a condi- tion by the governmjent that unless proper logislation ‘is adopted they will be forced into banitruptcy. These very conditions are éndugh to con- ¥ifice the country that the least we can have to do with government own- ership the better. EDITORIAL NOTES.

Mr. Editer: Your editorial of yester- }day mofning commentihg upon The Newsprint Situation was very inter- esting to me. I have noticed similar | comménts in various publications late- ly and to omne fariliar With the various angles of this situatiofi. 4nd not pres- ently interested in that phase of the paper making industry, perhaps I may be permitted to pass ebmmients on the point of view of the manufacturer and of the publisher. As I understand it, it is proposed that the publishers cur- tail eonsumption by reducing the size of theilr papers, 4fid advertising; also prépose that expofts 6f some three thousand tons per mionth be stopped. Should ddvertising be reduced, cer- tain Branches of business of the coun- try will no dotibt suffer, as the results obtained through extensive advertisy ing during the présent year have been all that éotild be desiréd, including, by the way, the exports to other ceun- tries. Therefore, if both the fhanii- facturers and “the. publishers . carry their peint all that we have been ‘slllriging for Will be affected-in'a way ha paper industry, at lefist. We certainly want all m business that aan be pro- cured outside our gates A should be allowed to interferé with this phase of the country’s busifiess. Having had considerable experience in Whet, Wil Fefiect on the interests of thel Tothing | | pear in fegard to cost of {twe er three years, | situation it is only a mattér for the it cluding thé South and Pacific coast, it occurs to me that the present sugges- tions do not offer a remedy for the exXistifig shortage. I recoilect that in 1915 there were over forty prospective paper mills proposed for Canada and. I believe, only one for the United Statés. Up to the present time, not oné of these proposed mills have ma- tetialized, while the consumption of news print paper has increased and will, no doubt, continue to incredse, provided someone does not interfere with the progress of the country. I know positively that some of the bést of the prospective mills have not been built because the investor was scared away, first by the income tax, second by legislation applied to news print and third when the United States entered the war. All good enough reasons for the layman but really no exctse for the large publish- €r who may have had the funds re- quired. Hardly any steps have been taken since the armistice was signed to improve the production of print, except by existing mills; as the publisher could very build his own mill, make his own pa- per of just exactly the quality he re- quires, at a cost in keeping with some of the most up-to-date mills, without any selling expenses or traveling ex- penses incidental to sales. In fact, the results would be just what the large publishers should seek to attain. He can readily build on the Pacific coast Or in Candda, and provided he does not raise too much objection to a soft sheet, he can build in the south where wasté from sawmills is availa- ble in large quantities and where he can manufacture paper cheaper thgn in any otHer place in the world. e sheet produced, however, would be ra- ther soft, but I do not know eof any readers ‘'of newspapers who ever pur- chase on strength of stifiness of sheet, cleanliness or color. In fact, they us- ually losk for the “news” and have not the least idea how tlie paper was orig- inally made, where it eame from or how much discussion took place be- tween theé manufacturer and the pub- lisher, regarding certain spots caused by small particles of bark, the “sheep”, or the ‘“rattle.” Probably some forty-five tons of paper could be "made daily, within' small radius, in the southern states where one wotld never have to worry as to where the wood supply would ultimately come from., as a good sized tree, suitable for making of pulp for paper, grows in twelve whereas; in a colder climate, quires from forty and up to eighty years. Hence a litile foresight on the part of the mill management would, at very small cost, produce an indefinite supply of wood. May say that I am personaily ae< quzinted with a few snlendid pulp wood_limits® in the provinces of Onta- rio, Quebe¢ and Manitoba, where news print can be manufactured, at a prof- it. Some of these limits have been on the rharket for years without anyone being dpparently intérested. The question may perhaps also ap- equipment. Presentiy, I helieve that the paper machine builders are short of orders. While prices are high, yet none of s look forward to any depreciation for| quite some time. Labor expensive | and yet with proper forethought #nd management it is surprising how cheaply & paper mill can be built and equipped. Presently mills are payiug high prices fof repalr parts and a fiew mill, compared with an old one, would require ver¥ little répairs for the first hence, cost of equipment would soon even up. To summarize— In order to relieve ‘the present acute hundred large publishers who have suifficient funds to erect-a mill of their own, help themselves and other publishers, not so fortunate as to have funds availa- ble for expenditure, such as a news print mill requirés: JOSEPH.
