NEWS PRINT SITUATION.
Two large daily newspapers nave dropped editions!
lately to save news print J
The New York Evening Sun has abandoned Its I
"Bulletin Edition" which went to press at 1030 in
the morning. "
The first edition of the Evening Sun Is now the
"middav edition' whirh enest tn wess at HHi
"Beginning tomorrow." announced Frank A. Mun- I
sey In a signed statement In the Evening Sun, Tues
day, "the bulletin edition will be discontinued for
the present. This discontinuance i3 made necessary
by the extreme shortage of news print paper. Since
this restriction in output is compulsory it can best
be made at this point as the early morning issue Is
the least valuable, and least representative of any!
of the issues of the day.
"This year, 1920. would easily carry the fast grow- I
ing circulation of the Evening 6un on to 300,000 1
copies a day, if we had the paper on which to print I
it. But we haven't it and can not get it, so we are
compelled to throttle Its growth. So far as we can I
see now, about all we can promise you in the near I
future is a circulation of 200.000 copies daily, or Just
bit beyond this figure enough beyond to make a I
full measure 200,000. I
This restriction in the circulation of the Evening
Sun is not the only sacrifice it must make because of
ack of print paper. Its sacrifice in advertising reve- I
nue because of lack of print paper will be just about
a million dollars for the year 1920." I
The Washington Times has discontinued its noon
and national editions, and will confine itself to one j
edition a day until conditions in the paper industry
are better. It ha3 been necessary for some time to I
curtail the noon edition In order to have sufficient
paper for the final edition. The national edition is
the "bulldog." which roes to mail subscribers.
The print paper shortage makes it necessary to I
choose whether to continue the sale of the early
edition or to meet in full the insistent demand for
the late edition with the news of the entire day j
and with all the features." declares the management I
of the paper in announcing the new arrangement.
To do both is, at the moment, impossible.
The general situation as to paper supply has never
been so bad as now. The price in the open martat.lSUDJec. severance of all trade or-financial re
has reached eleven cents a pound. Storms have
blocked transportation of raw materials to the mills J
and of the finished paper from the mills. Contract
shipments are far behind schedule.
"When an added supply of print.paper can be had
these editions will be resumed. It is impossible to
predict, however, when that will be."
WATCH THE LINE-UP.
It is just as well for the women of the United
States to examine the character of the forces enrolled
against the jhlrty-sixth ratification of the Anthony
amendment, says the Miami Metropolis. It is neither
tne Republican nor the Democratic party that is
making the anti-fight It is the gangsters of both
parties that fear the "untutored" woman-vote. The
liquor interests think there is yet a chance to repeal
the prohibiten amendment or toniake it ineffective.
Hence they want the women of the United States
to be prevented from taking any hand in forthcom
ing legislation, or In the naming of the politicians for
the administrative Jobs.
The intrenched politician fears the women's vote.
He doesn't know Just what this vote is going to be.
He has no thought of Justice. He cares nothing for
square dealing. All he is seeking is protection for
his own gang and hfs own political methods.
in Delaware the fight is a line-up that tells the
story In an illuminative way. The militarists do not
want the women to vote. The liquor interests do
not want the women to vote. The intrenched poll
tician and the special Interests that have their paid
representatives in every point of vantage do not want
women to vote. They're afraid of the unknown.
There's an uncertainty about the probable attitude of
these American women that is undoubtedly nerve-
wTacking.
If the anti-suffragists which means for the most
part, the most corrupt interests in the country can
only stave off the inevitable until ithe crisis of this
presidential year is passed, they think they can ad
just themselves to meet the new problems.
BACKS TO THE WALL.
You may say what you please about the American
liquor dealers, with their backs to the wall and
fighting for a "come back." says the Christian Ad
vocate. But for pure unadulterated gall we certain
ly must hand it to them. They have declared to the
American people that it is costing this nation too
much to enforce the prohibition laws. It will be in
order now for the highwaymen to hold a convention
and declare that this nation is unable to afford courts
and policemen to protect its citizens from hold-ups
and therefore the laws which are aimed at their pro-
fessien should be annulled. The gentry who make a
specialty cx cracking sares and robbing banks should
also assemble and assure the nation that protec -
tion of its deposit vaults adds so much to. the H. C.
L. that all laws looking to that purpose should be
effaced. That low-flung set who would like to have
a free and easy hand in building up the white slave
traffic might also see an opportunity to plead for
their nefarious business on the grounds that it costs
much money to enforce the law against them. But
none of these criminals possess the nerve of the
liquor business, a business compared to which rob
bcry and safe blowing are decent trades. The liquor
dealer will not observe the law unless made to .and
because he knows and the pulrtic knows it will cost
a good deal of money to show him that he will
have to obey it, he therefore declares that the na
tion can not afford so great a luxury as protection
from his dirty work. Red blooded Americans are not
in the habit of being dictated to by a lot of German
brewers and distillers and the enforcement of the
prohibition laws will continue.
Geraldine Gordon, of Denison House, a Boston set
tlement, throws a sidelight on the immunity of cer
tain classes from unrest "the neighborhood of Den
ison House is made up of Syrians chiefly. They are
all potential capitalists, and so ar as I am able to
discover are unaware of the great social unrest else
where." - " - - x
GARBLED THE FACTS.
(Miami Metropolis.)
A man holding a copy of the covenant of the
League of Nations in his hand while listening to the
speech of Senator Reed Thursday night, and noting
the places where the speaker garbled or misquoted
the text, could not Join the applause of the thousands
of people who did not have the covenant before
them for comparison.
The senator must have believed that the people
who heard him would never take the trouble to read
I the covenant for themselves.
By referring to the covenant of the League of
Nations you will see how the speaker garbled Arti-
cle XI by stopping in the middle of a sentence. The
first sentence In Article XI reads as follows: "Any
war or threat of war, whether immediately affecting
any of the members of the league or not, is hereby
declared a matter of concern to the whole league, and
the league shall take any action that may be deemed
wise and effectual to safeguard the peace of na
Hons."
The Senator read all of the sentence but the last
six words, "TO SAFEGUARD THE PEACE OF NA-
T10NS." The words omitted by the senator qualify
what goes before, and limit and plainly state the ob-
Ject d purpose of any action that the league Is au
jthorized to take: -But the senator left off these quali-
tying words of explanation, and went back and re-
Peated great emphasis that portion of the sen
tence "The League shall take ANY action that may
he deemed wise and eff ectuaL"
OQ ttle garbled reading of this sentence and the di3
torted meaning which he attempted to put into it, he
hased his argument that the league will have the au
10 orltv to do "n? ahd everything that it wants to do,
and can control this nation and dictate the af-
fairs his country.
Then again, the Senator garbled and misquoted Ar-
ticle Th irst paragraph of Article XVI is as
follows:
"Should any member of the League resort to war
m disregard of its covenants under Articles XII. XIII
or " shall ipso facto be deemed to have com
mitted an act of war against all other members of
tne league, which hereby undertake immediately to
lall0ns the prohibition of all intercourse between
their nationals and the nationals of the covenant
breaking state and the prevention of all financial,
commercial or personal intercourse between the na
tionals of the covenant-breaking state and the na
tionals of any other state, whether a member of the
league or not."
The senator, claiming to quote from Article XVI
said: "Should any member -of the league resort to
war in disregard of its covenant under Articles XII,
XIII, or XV, all other membersof the league shall
ipso facto be placed in a state of war."" He repeated
and emphasized the statement and jsaid that the
United States would ipso facto be placed in a. state
of war whether we wanted war or not, and without
any act of congress.
Of course the senator knows that no power, save
congress alone can declare war for the United States,
and he also knows -that congress is the. only power
that can raise revenue and make appropriations for
conducting war. But he insisted that ' the United
States, through the act of some offending nation,
would, ipso facto, be placed in a state of war, with
out any act of congress. He then draws a picture
of foreign nations or the league conscripting our
boys and taking them off to war..
The senator is silent In regard to Articles XII,
XIII, and XV which provide for the settlement of
disputes by arbitration, and Artivle XIV which pro
vides for the creation of a Court of International Jus
tice to try cases involving disputes between nations.
Evidently believes that most of his hearers will never
read the covenant for themselves the senator omits
mention of this court and leaves the impression that
the economic blockade and war are . the only re
courses In case of dispute.
The senator told us that the Covenant of the League
destroyed the Monroe doctrine. In order that the
reader may Judge for himself whether that be true,
I quote in full the exact language of Article XXI
Nothing In this covenant shall be deemed to affeet
the validity of international - engagements such as
treaties of arbitration or regional understandings like
the Monroe Doctrine, for securing the maintenance
of peace." No comments on this article are seeded.
The language is plain. The meaning is clear.
The senator had much to say about Article X
Briefly stated, Article X means that no nation shall
take the territory of another nation by force of .arms.
The desire of one nation to take territory from an-
oiner nas Deen me cause or more wars than any
other one thing. It is certainly essential to forbid
and prevent that, if we are to stop wars.
The covenant creates two bodies, the Assembly. In
j which each one of the thirty-two
nations forming
Ithe League has one vote and the Council, which is
composed from one member from each of nine na
I tions (the United States being one of the nine). The
I senator denounces the Assembly because it gives a
I vote to a number pf small, semi-civilized nations;
j and then with startling Inconsistency condemns the
j Council becavVe it does NOT give a vote to all of the
I members, saying that the nine men of the Council
j will govern the world.
I v The senator stated over and over again that under
the terms of the covenant the United States would
surrender Its sovereignty to the Council composed of
foreigners, and that they could dictate the affairs
of this country. Of course the covenant does no such
thing. . but on the contrary expressly provides that
the League shall not have any control over the in
ternal affairs of any nation; the sole purpose of the
League being to prevent wars and settle disputes be
tween nations.
I pass over as unworthy of discussion the attacks
on the president of our country, and the charge that
the president had said that he wanted every senator
who voted against the covenant hanged. President
Wilson needs no defense at my hands. ICs record
speaks.
