Beaten!" screamed, in its, edition it & Seattle newspaper which has been most active in fight- ing the Port of Seattle. But though the paper in question used 180-point type and a line eight columns wide for its ~ announcement, the port deal is NOT beaten In fact, nothing new whatever has happened to the port deal. It was completed at Washington a week ago in its . first steps, and, The Star believes, will be ratified by the é voters of King county in its fi form this spring The cause of the agitated paper's excitement was simply that 1,022 of the Chamber of Commerce's 8,000 members be had voted to sustain the trustees in their resolutions op. posing the port’s program. That doesn't beat the port deal. Not by a million miles. Tf anything is beaten, it’s the chamber. For it was the ber, not the port deal, which was really on trial in this referendum; the chamber was on trial for its fit ® mess for leadership in civic matters. If, as The Sts fe thinks likely, the people vote overwhelmingly to rs = the Skinner & Eddy tract purchase, then the chamber will be repudiated and its public usefulness again im- = paired.

The president and his advisers have heard from them. ~ When they took office, Pres ent Harding and his Cabinet members probably interpreted their seven million Majority as a ground-swell for isolation. It was a ground-swell for discontent. Only now are ad- ) ministration leaders waking up to the fact that the ) ground-swell of public sentiment in America is against tion. Talk to folks about you. Not one person in a dozen agrees with the handful of so-called irreconcilable sena- | tors in Washington that America should sit idly by and Europe stew in her own juice.” That policy doesn’t help America, and it certainly does not help Europe. It _ it neither wise nor generous nor American. Tt has taken the president a long time to awaken to | the increasing American sentiment for closer relations ) with the rest of the world.

The brave thing to do would be for Mr. Harding and Secretary Hughes to go straight up to the front door, daring to run the gauntlet of the irrec- oncilable senators. But if they cannot do that, half a league, onward, is than no progress at all, and on behalf of the folks back here at home, we welcome it as one step forward.
