THE QUESTION OF FORCE. UBLICATION of the official version of Presi- dent Wilson's address at the eighth plenary sion of the Paris Peace Conference effectually disposes of the misrepresentation put forth by Sena- tor Spencer of Missouri. According to Senator Spencer, the President promised the representatives of Roumania and Ser- bia that “if any nation ever invaded their territories he would send the American Army across the seas to defend their boundary lines.” What the President really said was this: “How can a power like the United States, for example—for 1 can speak for no other— after signing this treaty, if It contains ele- ments which they do not believe will be per- manent, go 3,000 miles away across the sea dnd report to its people that it bas made a settlement of the peace of the world? It cannot do so, And yet there underlies all of these transactions the expectation on the . Part, for example, Of Roumania and of Crecho-Slovakia and of Serbian that {ff any covenants of this settlement are not ob- served tho United States will send her armtes and her navies to see that served.” The difference between Senator Spencer's distor- they are ob- The Juggler! sstsre.

Like nearly all of the great ones whowe initiative has created civilization, Paul was, from the ground floor up, the architect of his own fortune. *| There was nobody to say “Up-a- diddy” to him, nobody to whose “pull” he could look for a start, Like most of the fluetrious ones of the earth again, Paul was poor, and was obliged from the start to ask himself the question, “How am I to make my dally bread? and like our old friend Omar, Paul chose as the means of his livelihood the bus- ineas of tent-making. ‘Tents wererin great and steady de- mand mM those days, and tho good tent-maker was pretty sure of a liv- ing.

' For New York the holiday has special signifi- cance, because it marks the beginning of another pioneering effort in which Italians will play an im- portant part. To-day the vehicular tunnel to New Jersey is to | be started. Italians will do most of the work. Be- fore the bores reach the New Jersey shore our mod- em pioneers from Italy will have triumphed over obstacles which would have daunted even their brave countryman of the fifteenth century. Without the work of Italian workmen New York ‘woul! be a different place, These hardy and in dustrious men have been the first reliance of the subway and tube builders, They have burrowed through the soil and under the surrounding rivers and have given New York.the opportunity to grow. When the. speakers this afternoon praise the ‘Malian pioneer of 1492, they should render fair and “Just tribute to the Italian pioneers of 1920 who risk their lives in the stupendous ventures of modern Baltimore reports that @ “Fatr-Price Com- mittee” has induced eight “unpopular-priced” restaurants to lower prices and so achieve “popularity.” » the restaurant profiteers? Investigation here would show profiteering as certainly aa it has in Baltimora Is it going to prove necessary to undertake @ general boycott of restairants before the gouging will cease? and, indeed, the occasion, tone and purpose of the whole address clearly show the President to have been in the position of admonishing Roumania and Serbia that they must not expect the power of the League to come to the aid of selfishness and injus- tice injected into terms of the treaty dealing with territorial adjustments. = So far from being the rash and reckless pledge that Senator Spencer tried to make it appear, the paragraph from the President's speech is really a reminder of how impossible it would be for the United States to send its army across the seas to support any cause that could not plead justification from the purpose of the Covenant itself and the spirit in which that purpose had been carried out. On the other hand, if Senator Spencer and other Republicans ‘think they have dealt the League a death blow whenever they point out that it requires behind it military force to which the United States would have to pledge itself—even though not otheg- wise than by constitutional processes—to contribute _ they should be disillusioned. ‘ Americans who have confidence in their country are not looking for a League without force behind Senator Harding has admitted that even his res- urrected “Hague Tribunal would have to bave “teeth.” Where would it get “teeth” save from the assurance that military force would be the ulti- mate power to enforce its decisions? most zealous defenders of the faith of Israel, It was a tine of mingled wisdom and fanaticism, of deep pedagogic lore and bitter prejudice, and Paal was not slow tn making it very un- cqnfortable for the Christians—the new sect that was beginning to claim so large a share of the world’s at- | tention, |} But we can nover tell what @ day may bring forth, especially in the fleld of religious polemics, and all at | once, to the joy the new faith and |the everlasting dismay of his old friends and co-workers, Paul turned Christian!

But until the courts have interpreted and defined the scope of the laws, the tenants may well “sit tight” and hope for the best. a co-operative plan. Some believe this provides a loophole for tricky landlords. The method of circumventing the Anti- Eviction Law is described as follows: A landlord merely incorporates and then “sella” stock in his house to prospective tenants. The tenant thereupon indorses his stock over to the landlord, who puts the shares in his safe. The tenant pays nothing except rent, When stock has been “sold” for each apartment the landlord presents hiv case to the court. He furnishes proof that tenants have “bought” his house on the co. operative plan and nothing remains for the Justice to do but order evictions No doubt plenty of real estate shysters would in this “joker? there appears to be yet another, and teeth, while the United States could be called on only for advice and direction, As to the efficacy of a pledge of force in pre- venting the developmeut of situations in which force would be needed, Mr. Taft has pointed out how States, with the power to back up that threat:” “If that be the result of a threat of one nation which has not the power of imposing 4 universal boycott, what must necessarily bo the result of the union of all nations within the League, beginning with the uni- versal boycott, with its withering isolation and destructive character?
