When the advertising men of America
unanimously indorsed the league of nations,
they furnished a large package of the food for
thought to those who oppose it. There are ,
no men more practical, more keenly visioued ;

the public desire.
It is estimated that strikes have cost the
people of the United States $10,000,000 a day
for the past eight months. Still, labor leader:*
(old the Senate committee engaged in trying
to frame legislation to end strikes in the
future that any legislation having that ob
ject in view would precipitate a revolution
in this country. Mas it come to this, that
the people dare not assert their rights In
legislation?
Wall Street, the national business harome- ;
ter, forecasts squally weather for the steel
strikers. It had itself all braced for a slump
?with the beginning of industrial hostilities--,
?but the country refused t.i be panic-stricken,
and on the first three days' showing of the
strikers prices have held steady, and in many
cases have advanced. When Wall Street pro
nounces' the strike a failure and hacks its
opinion with orders to buy. the public is in
clined to accept. its decision.
The silence of Mr. Taft. Judge Hughes and
Mr. Root has become almost painful. No
doubt they feel greatly humiliated at the sorry
spectacle of Republican leadership in the
Senate wrecking party hopes by the disgrace
ful tactics it is pursuing in the efiort to dc- .
feat the peace treaty. Perhaps they deem it 1
the part of wisdom to refrain from interfer
ence, in the llriu expectation that the rank i
and file of the party will resent the attit title
of Senate leaders and turn to them for lead
ership later on.

Farcical Investigations
THK revolt in the Senate ugainst the ut
terly useless and wasteful investigations
instituted by the House and Sonato since the
beginning of lhe present session of Congress
has significance from the fact thai it is led
by Republican statesmen themselves. Sena
tor Nelson, whose Republicanism cannot bo
questioned, and Senator Jones, of Washing
ton, whose party loyalty is proverbial, have
flatly and bluntly declared thai they are sick
and tired of the foolish, and ineffectual pro
ceedings ordered by their party associates.
This outburst came in connection with the
proposal that the Senate undertake? without
i delay an inquiry into the administration of
| the oflice of alien property custodian. Tho
j proposal was fathered by Senator Calder, of
I New York, sonio of whose constituents were ;
I severely dealt with by Mr. Palmer, and sup- .
| ported by Senator Frelinghuysen, who, as
president of a German insurance company,
was forced to submit to Mr. Palmer's orders
while German assets in this country were
being seized.
These two Senators are now aud for weeks i
have been relentless in their pursuit of the ,
former alien property custodian. They '
sought to prevent his confirmation as Attor- i
ney-General, but a Republican Judiciary Com- |
mittee. after inquiring into the lilnoss of 1
Mr. Palmer, unanimously recommended the 1
latter's confirmation and the Senate with
only two dissenting votes sustained the report '
of that committee.
Hut the hounding of A. Mitchell Palmer |
by two Senators who are determined, if pos- ?
siblo. to drive him from public life, is a mere j
incident in the present situation. The sig- I
nificant thing is that Republican statesmen
themselves have grown weary of the endless
and unproductive investigations which havo
gone 011 for the past few months. They have
been parties to these proceedings .and now
find reason to blush for the waste of lima
and money for wheih they havo been re
sponsible.
If there had been any justifying results, as
Senator Jones pointed out, lie might feel dif
ferently about the matter. But. he added,
not one investigating committee had exposed
a single case of gross maladministration. ;
Not one had revealed a crime. Not one had I
laid bare a case of corruption. In so far as j
his observation went every inquest ordered j
by Congress had failed of its object and he |
must have realized that the country is about ;
as impatient to have done with these com- '
edies as he is himself.
Senators Jones and Nelson might have ;
cited the instance of the coal investigation
now going on as a specimen of the futility
of such inquisitions. Senator Frelinghuysen,
the same statesman who is now crying out
that Palmer be crucified, is chairman of that
coal investigating body. Not one time since
that hearing started has the full committee >
been present. Only once were jnoro than
two members present and for days only Sena
tor Frelinghuysen himself sat as the com
mittee.
Witnesses have come to Washington from 1
remote sections of the country to appear be- |
fore this committee and have been shocked j
to find nobody to hear or examine them ex- j
cept a single Senator sitting in state at the
head of a committee hearing room. The I
whole business is unworthy of Congress and I
the revolt of the Republican Senators will!
probably put a stop to such farces.
!<a Toilette Exposes the Press
A FTER a protracted absence from the Scn
** ate and a silence that caused his friends J
to brood over his mental condition, Senator
Robert .\i. La Follette returned to hia seat i
the other day and leaping into the. center of >
the stage he launched a savage assault upon i
the press of the country, declaring that a I
"thought-control" monopoly existed, and that |
the great industrial combinations had throt
tled free speech in this fair land.
As an instance ??f this criminal conspiracy '
to delude the American people and to pun- j
ish the friends of the masses, tho Senator 1
cited the fact that since his Philadelphia \
speech, in 1016. he himself had been
barred from the columns of the newspapers,
lie no doubt expected the Senate to gasp when
he mnde this savage charge, but it is recorded
that when he glanced about him to, observe
the effect of his thunderbolt he found less
than a dozen Senator;, present, most of whom i
were engaged in letter-writing.
This, of course, is not /he first time that
some charlatan has risen in his boldness and |
declared that the American newspapers are
controlled by the wicked "interests." Almost '
as often as t?uch a demagogue has felt the |
criticism of editors, or what is worse, has been i
ignored by these trust puppets, lie has yelled 1
pi ess control. 1 he only difference between |
the past performances or these thundcrers !
and Senator Ha Follette is that ho has been I
brazen enough to confess that he harbors a. *
personal grievance.
'fhe American newspapers need make no J
answer to this kind of balderdash. There is !
nothing in the world sn wide open as a news- i
paper. Every fault that it has and every '
virtue to which can lay claim is spread every j
day before its people. II it goes wrong it !
| cannot conceal the. fact. If it is right, the I
knowledge is conveyed in its own columns. 1
It necessarily works in broad daylight. Its j
; heart and soul are hourly exposed to the gaze
j ?>f its readers. If this were not true a few
; People might take Mr. f.a Follette aryl his
t el low-screamers seriously.

I have seen a fox-terrier who had been lying
perfectly happy on the sidewalk get up after
Seroggs had passed him and go over and bite

Our Trade Balance.
nv (;i:oit?.i; i;. kohkhtm,
?Vfw Vork llnnker.
The war wrought a great change in tJie posi
tion of the United States in the exchanges.
During the ten years preceding it the average
annual trade balance in favor of the United
States was approximately J.'iUO.OoO.OOO. and it
rwas practically offset by interest and dividends 1
paid to foreign holders of American bonds and
stocks, charges of foreign shipping upon our
imports, expenditures of American tourists in
the old countries and other items for which we
were indebted to Kurope.
Now we have bought back most of our se
curities and made loans to Kuropc upon which ;
the interest coming to us will be $r>00.00u,ono i
to 5COO.OOO.OOO per year, with more In prospect.
This change from a debtor to a creditor posi- j
tion is certainly to our advantage, but the effects
are very perplexing to some people, because !
they arc not favorable to our export trade. j
Formerly wo had to export about JfiGu.000,000
per year to pay our accruing obligations.
lOurope simply gave us credit on the books;
now she must send us something for it. She
cannot p;vy us in pold, for the total annual
production of gold In the world in not equal to
that sum. She can pay us temporarily in se
curities. if we will take them, but, of course,
that will increase the annual balance in our
favor.
The moment we cease to grant credit to pur
chasers, exchange ra tos will rise rapidly against
us. They have done so already. The pound
sterling, worth in gold S4.b6. now fluctuates
around |l.,">0, a discount of about 7 per cent; |
the franc is at an average discount of 40 per
cent, as compared with the American dollar, i
and Italian exchange still lower.
American business inen must face this situa- '
tion intelligently. They have been thinking!
only of selling more, abroad. They will have ,
tc# give up that ambition or recognize that in
order to do so they must also take more of !
foreign products.
He is a poor merchant who never considers ?
how his customers arc going to pay for the
goods he hopes to sell. It is well to under- t
stand, while concessional committees aretnak- !
ing a search with a view to stopping up every ;
crevice through which foreign Roods percolate
into this country, that the effect of stopping j
them must be to also stop the outward flow ot |
American goods.? (Copyright, 11)19.)
