of the contest, but Senator Brakpe

The American peoplo nre sick nnd

A Canadian Vlnnncc Policy.
With tho purposo of Voplng Cana
dian dollars at home the Canadian
Minister of Pittance Is, quoted ns re
questing the banks of his country to
decline to facilitate the Importation of
securities, even Canadian securities
that havo been held abroad. If the
Finance Minister means this, does ho
also mean that nobody can pay for
surplus Canadian commodities with
securities held abroad? Docs he
mean, as a specific example, thnt if
Canada has, say, 200,000,000 bushels
of surplus wheat this groatcst of all
the Canadian crops must bo left to rot
in the fields before it can be ex
changed abroad for securities? Does
he mean that Canadian farms, Cnna
dlan mines, Canadian factories can
shut up shop before securities can bo
brought into tho country to pay for
their surplus products?
Countries undergoing development
of their natural wealth usually cx
cbango their securities' for mnchlnery
and materials to set themselves up In
business. Then tbey use their surplus
products to get back their securities,
Then they uso thoso surplus products
to got in turn securities of tho coun
tries to which they sell such surplus
products. If a country refutes to dls
pose of Its surplus products' on that
basis, especially when thoro Is a short

Ing Uu point of View (herein iirewnled may
prove of Interest to our resdeis,
MM'Sirs
Nsty YOiif, lUptember 10,
Mr Dbar PnoiT.som fllnrs my receipt
of your letters of tho 13th and Hlli
ultimo I have been bo overworked as lo
malm It linpoailblo lo answer,
I notn all ynu say, but note nlsn what
you do not say. ln my letter to ynu
of tho lQtli 1 polnlfd out that Mr, Wil
son had provented flennany's dlsaima
ment nn land lucidly Kngland nnd
Franco raw to It that the nrmlstlco It
self disarmed Germany on tho sen nnil
tliersby had mado tho peace Insecure,
Tim facts remain nnd nro briefly ok fob
lows:
While Mr, Wilson was nway from
Parln between about February HO nnd
March II, 191!, tho conferee In his "li
cence mtretd that peace terms should
forthwith bo fcrmurstf.1 and enforced,
that tho principle of tho adoption of a
lengiid should bo uirreed upon nnd Its
actual fcrmulntlon lr, u covenant post
poned until, vaco had actually been
made. At that tlmn the Allies wcro In
great force on tho nhlno nnd could com
pel Oermnny lo il.rnrm and to comply
with their other terms of penco.
On Starch 14 Mr, Wilson returned to
Pnrli and demanded that tho adoption
nnd enforcement of tho penco terms
nhould nwnlt adoption of the Lenguo
covenant. Ills own admirers, including
Mr, llay fitnnnurd linker, who boasts
of having had a part In Inducing the
President to tnko that position, do not
question nil this, but In fact conllrm
tho facts ns ubovn sot forth.
Now what happened? i A deadlock was
preolpltntsd because tho Allien wanted
penco at ones nnd n covenant afterward,
whllo tho President domnnded n cove
nant first, bsforo any peace. That dead
lock lasted for weeks nnd finally the
President had his way.
Meanwhile tho soldiers, who had been
In servlco for onn to flvo years, some
of them many of thoso who belonged
to tho nctlvo servlco of tlio French finny
nt thn tlmo of the outbreak of the war
hnd been sorvlng for seven years de
manded ii prompt demobilisation nnd re
turn to pcteo footing. So thnt when
finally tht ("resident's) ucndlock was
broken nnd th pence terms ndooted the
overwhelming forco ncedej to compel
prompt compliance by Ocrmany with
thoro terms was no lonircr on tho nhlnn;
result, to this day Germany Is not dis
armed. Now It so happens that, also duo In
tho President's opposition, tho treaty
contains no sanction for a failure by
Ocrmany to llvu up to tho disarmament
ptovlslons. Of courso, no such sanction
Is found In the covenant. Recently the
Allies have agreed on providing such
snnctlqn. This was done nt Spa in July,
Air. Wilson having dropped out mean
while. Tho fact thnt Germany Is still
,'timod Is tho chief factor of Insecurity
lu tho peace : It Is a factoi; for which
the President Is dltrclly responsible, nnd
not all tho grand words used concern
ing the covenant ns a maglo remedy
against war can obscuro that fact.
A disposition on one's part to commt
one's nation to limitless responsibilities
Is found alongside a disposition to do
nothing, cxcipt on pnper, cither to pre
vent tho emergency or to meet It when
tt nrltcs. ,
It cannot bo that by such devices n
nation 1 1 Icq ours will bo deceived. Mr.
Harding hns made It very clear that bo
Is for tho Hepubllcnr principle In mat
ters of world pence, namely, that ho Is
for Colng our full share ns a nntlon
not ns a component part of on' Interna
tionalist scheme under a supcrgovera
ment In upholding freedom ngalnst
tyrannical aggressions. He does not nnd
will not BUbscrlbo to tho proposition that
this can bo achloved by hypothetical
commitments deceptively formulated to
mean nil things to nil men.
Tho Republican party led Mr. Wilson
Into the war, nyc, pushed him Into It at
tho eleventh hour, while it was yet tlmn
to savo freedom from impending catas
trophe, Tho Republican party forced
Mr. Wilson to mako war u hen ho showed
determination to restrict himself merely
to a declaration of war which his closest
friends thouRht sufficient to Insure the
kind of.peaco ho waa for. Tho Repub
lican party will now make peace secure,
which can only bo done by undoing tlie
effect of Mr. AVllson'a work ln Paris by
substituting tangible, concreto safe
guards for his hypothetical paper guar
antees. It Is not by a text which con
tomplateB that nothing shall over bo
dono unions and until there Is unanimity
that Poland cculd havo, been saved, that
Bolshevism ican bo overthrown or the
frontier of civilization protected.

REVISION OF RENT
LAIS SUGGESTED
Juslico Snitjgcluerg' Advocntcs
Xcw llelnlions Between
Landlord nnd Tenant.
Justice Frederick Splegelberg of the
Municipal Court, father of tho "25 per
cent." rent law, explained last night
soveral now measures to govern the
relations of tenant and landlord, which
ho will urgo beforo tho special session
of tho Legislature, at a, meeting of tho
Real Estate Owners Association of tho
Twelfth and Nineteenth Wards in New
York Turn Hall, Lexington avenue nnd
Eighty-fifth street. IIo characterized
tho measures as being "moro revolution
ary'1 thnn thoso of tho present, nnd It
was evident that the landlonls present
did not npprovo of Ids suggestions, as
tho Justlco's romarks' wero punctuated
by murmuring throughout tho hall.
Foremost among the measures Justlco
Splegelbcrg said ho would advocate is
ono that would give Justices tho right to
grant long stays to tenants, and that
after proper facts liad been shown, tho
conditions remaining tho same, for thn
Justlco to grant the tonant nn additional
stay. Another of Justlco Splegelbcrg's
proposals will bo tltat the "nbsoluto
right'' of landlords to bring holdover
proceedings bo taken away, leaving It
to thff discretion ot tho courts, nfter tho
lnndlord has mado known his reasons
for desiring to start tho action. Justice
Splegolbcrg also said ho would suggest
.that the "23 per cent, clause" bo
taken out of the present law, as It
had been misinterpreted, tho truo aim
of tho law being merely to conllno in
creases to a rcn'sonablo amount rather
than to 25 per cent.
Justlco Splegelbcrg declared thero was
nothing the matter with tho proscnt rent
laws. What confusion In their admin
istration existed, ho said, was duo to the
Judges, who In many Instances wero
"bad judges Just ns there nro bad law
yers." Tho Jurist said what was needed
Is legislation to stimulate new building,
among which he declared ho would ad
vocato a measure to exempt mortgage
money from tho Stato Income tax nnd
ask tho Legislature to momorlallzo Con
gress to exempt It from tho Federal tax.
To. exempt all new buildings from both
Stato and municipal taxes for ten or
fifteen years, ho said; would bo a great
boom to nw construction. Ho gavo It
as hlc opinion tho city would not loso
from such a procedure, as the now struc
tures would be erected on ground that is
not yielding a great amount of taxes
at the present time.
