Another Reason for Article X.
Senator Hitchcock makes a suggestion that
.throws possible light on the willingness of Great
. Britain to accept drastic reservations to Article X of
the league covenant. Without accusing any nation
of bad faith, Mr. Hitchcock asks if it has occurred
to anybody that England, France and Italy might
be glad to render the League of Nations vague on
the obligations of defending countries from polltl-.-;
eel and territorial aggression.
This Idea serves to recall the historical fact
that the old world countries have ways of im
perialism that are not our ways; that British and
European imperialists were determined at the
outset of the peace conference to make peace In
the old feudalistic manner, and to preserve, peace
or make war In the future as they had in tho past,
; by offensive and defensive alliances.
. 'The heart of the covenant" lakes on new sig
nificance with this Interpretation of English readl
.ness to accept America; as a league partner without
any definite obligation under Article X. This view
answers the criticism made of President Wilson,
that In his idealism he forgot that the league's
operation (a subject to the limitations of human
nature.. His inslstance on a strong obligation to
.. preserve national integrity Is based upon knowl
edge, not of existing agresslve Intention among the
allied nations, but on the "well known besotting
Ins of European national ambitions. The obliga
tion may be needed quite as much as to restrain
land lust in Britain or France as In Japan or
Germany. The article Is a needed limitation,
voluntarily Imposed by the great powers upon
themselves, to guard against possible breaking out
of Imperialism within their own borders.
I complex lists of acta forbidden under which law
'officers may break Into private homes on suspicion
that Incendiary literature is concealed.
Gltlow was charged with publishing the Revo
lutionary Age, in one Issue' of which appeared the
manifesto of the left wing of the socialist party,
now known as the communist party. The de
fendant. after evidence was submitted, admitted
that he believed In revolutionary violence and had
dedicated his life to the cause. Justice Weeks in
charging the jury said that tho right of free speech
was not Involved; that it was simply a question
whether the state should exercise the power to
protect Itself from those who openly championed
force as method of reform.
Oltlow staled that he was educated in the public
schools and that he made $41 a week as a cloth
ing cutter before going into the revolutionary
business.
Ills case Is warning enough to communists and
others Ukeminded that they must confine their
efforts to constitutional action; that they cannot
preach resort to force and then claim Immunity
under the rights of free speech.
, , t Some Effects of the Treaty.'
" ' If the peace treaty is causing dissatlsf action in
derm any, many of its terms have an effect no lens
desirable in England and tho allied continental
countries. While Germany chafes under Indemni
fies which she regards as beyond her ability to pay,
the expectation of huge reimbursements' to them
has caused the allied peoples to mlmimize the
- necessity of going to work.
. In addition to German war payments, the allied
peoples have since the armistice confidently ex
pected that the United States would cancel their
debt of $10,000,000,000 in American loans. From
thee two sources Europe has looked for aid in
financial and Industrial reconstruction, aid that is
not forthcoming in the proportions counted upon.
. And lately British statesmen have begun to
feel that It would be wiso to revise the terms pro-
Germany -and Extradition.
Paris newspspers rightly see in the contro
versy over delivery of German war leaders a test
of tho Versailles treaty. If the Germans can wiggle
out of fulfillment of this obligation, accepted with
out reservation, where will there be an end to
German invasion of the treaty terms? The Berlin
government seemingly censures von Lersner for
refusal to transmit the lint of war criminals, but
Berlin dispatches quote the government officials
as declaring that resistance to extradition is
"honorable."'
If the world were resting today on more stable
foundations politically and economically the issue
would be easier for tho allies to meet. The majority
view among the allies is expressed by tho British
objection to the proposed note from the allied am
bassadors advising Germany that tho extradition
question Is open for negotiation. There will be
little sentiment in Franco for modification of the
allied demands except from the socialists, and they
were discredited at the last election.
It will never do to weaken on this carefully
considered Intention of bringing to trial those
officers, high as well as low, who deported civilians,
murdered non-combatants, burned, pillaged and
destroyed without regard to the necessities of war
fare. Germany signed the treaty with fingers
crossed. If the allies weaken on this proposition
they will be forced to yield on many another.
try will be Justified In making use of funds which
are now available with which to buy foodstuffs ana
neoessary articles such as clothing. If these can
be secured immediately and sent as swiftly as ves
sels and other transportation can carry the com
modltles. then relief will be at hand. Mr. Glass
says that in addition Ui the point of view of human
ity, service of this kind will really be bread cast
upon waters, even though we do not get a dollar
bark.
In the reply which Secretary Olass made to the
letter of the United states chamber of commerce,
he takes almost exactly the ground upon which the
plan for the relief of European notions wns based
when it was presented to him .in May of last year.
That plan would have Involved an organization,
nation-wide, the members of which would repre
sent all American Industry, commerce and agri
culture. Huch an organisation could be relied
upon, it was thought, to furnish the credits which
Europe needed in order to pay for purchases made
in the United States. The plan did not Involve the
government in any way excepting that the moral,
support and sponsorship of the administration at
wasnington would be of Importance.
Mr. Olass now asserts that the credits which will
be required for economic restoration and revival
of trade must be suunlied throueh nrlvate channels.
That was the purpose of tho plan which was called
to his attention in May. He is certain that the
American people should not be called upon to
finance and would not respond to anv demand that
they do finance the requirements of Europe so far
as these result from the failure to take the neces
sary steps for the rehabilitation of credit.
Presumably, Secretary Glass' opinion is one In
which the entire administration at Washington
concurs. Therefore, It Is likely to nut a damper
upon the proposed movement which seeks an Inter
national conference which will perfect plans for
re-nnancing the world with the barking of all the
governments. That is an entirely different propos
tion from the one which Mr. Olass advocates when
he sought support from congress for the granting
of a loan of one hundred and twenty-five millions
with which Poland, Austria and Armenia can be
immediately aided. A loan of that kind would be
In principle and In some of its chief features similar
to a popular subscription raised suddenly to meet
emergency caused by a great fire, or the spread of
a plague or volcanic or earthquake disaster. Gifts
ef this kind have been cheerfully made by the
people of tho United States.
Tho Financing of the Crops.
In mid-summer and also as late hs the times of
the frost the banks of the United States were called
upon for assistance in moving the crops from the
harvest fields to the markets. It was the customary
seasonal crop moving activity. Now, notwlthstand-
ng the fact that the harvests will yield in money
nearly fifteen billion dollars and If meat products
be Included, somewhat over twenty billions, never-
heless, the funds which were borrowed or ad-
nced in order to move the crops have not been
fully, or possibly even in large measure, liquidated.
Tills has caused some astonishment and It has ndt 1
been easy to discover the reason. Now the best
opinion seems to. be t hat this curious laps in j
Iquidating the loans, although the crops will be I
marketed for many billions, is due to labor and
ransportatton difficulties. I" other words, while
the harvests were bountiful, as a whole without any
precedent, and while the department of agricul-
ures estimate of the money value of the food.
cotton and hay crops of last summer and fall is
early fifteen billions, nevertheless labor dlmcul-
les and congestion of transportation have made It
Imost Impossible to move the crops to the markets
or at least any considerable part of them. Until
this Is done, the farmers cannot receive pay in full
for their crops. Not until they do thus receive In
money their gains for their year's work will th'ey be
ahle to go to the hanks and liquidate the advances
which were made to them In the summer and
through tho early part of the fall. If times were
normal, the liquidation of these loans, together
with the money received in tho form of dividends
and interest, would be re-deposited In the banks.1
That would lend to make money rates easy. Hut
money rates are not easy. The suspicion orcva.lHi

y RICHARD HENRY WILDE
This poem, sometimes called "Stanzas"
or "Lament of the Captive. Is the only
portion of Richard Henry Wilde's work
that has survived In popular favor.
Wilde (17S9-1847) was born In Ireland but
came to America when he was only eight
years old and spent most of his Ufa In
Georgia. He wrote numerous original
foems and made many translations from
he Italian. The present lyric Is taken
from an unfinished epic based on Wilde's
brother's experiences In the Seminole
War In. Florida We may Imagine the
captive languishing In prison, singing his
farewell snng,' looking forward hopelessly
to his death far away from home and
friends. The three stansas present three
separate objects In nature which seem
to the saptlva his own lonely and pa
thetic end the dew wesps for the shat
tered summer rose, the wind walls for
the falling autumn leaf, and the sea
mourns for the vanished footprints, while
the captive regrets that none shall weep
or sigh or lament for him. While there
is a sort of Byronlo gloom In the staniaa
the poem Is not to be Interpreted as the
hoDeleaa or Deaslmlstic view of the au
thor, but as the expression of despair
which has seised upon the captive as he
faces deatn at the nanas or ins enemies.
Remember When You Said:
"It's simply impossible for me to save
money, the way things are going these days."
But you saved for your Liberty Bonds
which proves again " if there's a will, there
is a way."
And you didn't suffer particularly, did you?
,You can "repeat" if you really want to.

My life Is like the summer rose,
That opens to the morning sky;
And ere the shades of evening close,
Is scattered on the ground to die:
Yet, on that rose's humble bed
The softest dews of night are shed;
As if she wept such waste to see:
But none shall drop a tear for me!
My life is like the autumn leaf.
That trembles In the moon's pale
ray;
Its hold Is frail, Its date Is brief
Restless, and soon to pass away:
Tet, when that leaf shall fall and
fade,
The parent tree will mourn Its shade;
The wind bewail the leafless tree:
Bui none shall breathe a sigh for me!
My life is like the print, which feet
Have left on Tampa's desert strand;
Soon as the rising tide shall beat.t
Their track will vanish from the
sand;
All vestige of the human race.
On that lono shore loud moans the

Attempts of republican newspapers to find
parallel for Lord Grey's letter in President Wilson's
appeal to the Italian people In tho treaty contro

influence action on the treaty. Mr. Wilson ap

entirely consistent if the explanations which are

ways and means committee of the house of repre

States be authorized to lend to Poland. Austria and
Armenia one hundred and twenty-five million dol
lars. Yet, almost at the very moment when Mr.
Glass was making this plea, the United States
chamber of commerce at Washington was reading
a communication from him in which he Insisted
that this country should not be called upon to
make any further loans to the nations of Europe.
But If the United States, in his opinion, should
not increase its loans to Europe, why should he
advocate a loan of one hundred and twenty-five
million dollars to the nations of Central Europe,
including Armenia? It is the exception, so it is
said here, however, which proves the rule. The
loan of one hundred and twenty-five million to the
nations which are to be excepted from the general!

view, to be made in the name of humanity. Re

A HARD SURFACED HIGHWAY.
( Morganton News-Herald.)
Shall we have a hard surfaced highway across
the state, from tho mountains to the sea? Morgan
ton answers "Yes" and wants the work undertaken
at the earliest possible moment. Saturday's road
meeting was a revelation. Our business men favor
good roads, but that meeting showed how enthu
siastically they are in favor of making the prln
ciHtl highways of permanent construction. It seems
to have dawned on our people that It Is of prime
Importance to this section of the state and to every
town along the route that the Central highway
be hardsurfaced and the movement that has started
at the foot of the mountains Is destined doubtless
to gain in momentum until it becomes a powerful
force when the time conie- for definite action. Does
It not Indicate intense interest that merchants and
business men on the busien day of the week, Sat
urday, would attend a meeting in the Interest of
roads? The gathering was inspirational; a spirit of
earnestness and determination seemed to prevade
the atmosphere. From the meeting representatives
were sent to neighboring towns to touch off the
spark of enthusiasm in hardsurfacing the Central
highway. In turn the message will go all along the
route, gathering force us it travels. When the
legislature meets in the summer the building of a
permanent Central highwav will have behind it the
effectual power of public sentiment expressed from I
every county along the line from Craven to the
Tennessee line and will doubtless cause the enact
ment of such legislation as we desire.
Then won't Burke, which has in timee past been
scolded, begged, persudude and often ridiculed on
the road question, take pride in pointing to the fact
that she was one of the first to advocate hard sur-J
