THE FALL RESOLUTION, Fall suggerting”that’ the relations be- tweén this country and Mexico be broken, and on which the advice of action was attempted, expected in the way of a repty has] been received in a communication to the senator to’ the effect that such would be a reversal of our constitu-| tional practice and the adoption of the e .mlmlfltfl!v o teserred. concern by the president. President Wilson pointed out that the initiative in directing the relations with foreign governments rests Wwith the executive and that alone, a posi~ tion which is entirely correct. Such: was maintained by Senator Borah at the time the resolution was ynder dis- MODIFYING THE PRQTOCOL. The supreme council appears to have ben swayed by the belief that discretion is the better part of valor in yielding to the requests| of Ger- many regarding the terms of the pro- tocol putting into effect the peace treaty. There Is no question but what the council could have insisted upon the carrying out of the reguire- ments presented to Germany and could have put them through had it been considered wise to take the nec- easary steos to do it. It would have meant the resumption of war and chaotic eonditions in Germany, which it is beiieved would have been fully realized by Germany to such an ex- tent that it would have signed before it would have allowed them to take place, but it dared to show its oppo- eition and it came out vietorious. president’s hands ‘and that congress could not act until cn]led -upon to do s0.

If has likewise called new attention to the conditions disclosed by the com- mittee investigating Mexico and the relations of the two countries, The determination as expressed in the senate to do nothing more with the resolution shows that there was no plan to put it through but rather a desire .to have the situation receive the attention that it should and not be allowed teadily - grow worse.

The matier of the coal shortage is taken up by the secretary of the in- terfor in his annual report and as the result of the facts that have been bromght out he doesn’t hesitate to at- tribute much of the trouble to the failure to make use of the time that is available for digging coal. According to the secretary ' there was during the year 1918 an averaze of but 249 working days in the soft coal regions. This was the equivalent of about twe and a quarter days each week when there was no production in the chief coal producing states. There are states such as Ohio for instance where the average working year is under 200 days while in New Mexico there was in 1917 a maximum of 326 days. In this connection there are many things that figure. Though it would appear that there were more miners than there were opportunities to work in some instances, there arg also la- bor shortages and it has heen fre- quently claimed that the getting out of coal was handicapped by the lack of cars and stagnation due to the fact that orders were not coming in. During the war the consumers of .wn 0f the consumer ougit to he su 1t to secure .the re- tention of this board until the produc- tion und distribution of sugar. get to be more nearly normai. 1t is to De understood of course that even if the sugar board is continued that it will' nol in all probability be able to keep prices where they are. To have done that-thex should have been permitted to buy sugar for the coming year several moriths ago when they; sought that - privilege but wery nied it by the president. Suga%‘con- tracted for now would have to be at an increased figure but under the re- strictions of the board the consumers would fare far Wetter as to prige than! they have any rizht to hope to from the removal of thé restrictions and the taking off of lhe brake on the price limits.

The reasonableness of this was impressed upon the consumers during the years| of the war and there seems to be little doubt but what if such a policy was persisted in generally it would help materially to aid the situation, but that is only one phase of the probiem, which to be properly met shouid be faced and not dodged. But with the production at the mines at full eapacity throughout the year, six days a week, there ought to be no question of meeting réquire- ments and ag Secretary Lane points out meet the demands from abread.

This is indicated by the statement to the ef- fect that he plans to let the treaty rest where it is for the present and to do nothing to hasten the adoption.of it in such form as the senate will ap- prove. This reveals again the stubbornness that has been encountered through- out the whole progress of the treaty.
