The eyes of the worlcl today are locussed on the treaty of Versailles. 'j; J:.i . Statesmen and diplomats everywhere are turning over the phrases of the official published summary of terms to form opinions.- - in the United States the questions are being asked, "How does it affect America?'" "Will the Senate ratify it?" "Will Germany accept it?", V Official Washington, with the President and Secretary of State in Paris, with Congress in adjournment, and many leaders on both sides absent, seems rather devoid of opinion.

WAR REVEALS THE NATION'S WEAKNES (By Associated Press) Cleveland, May 8. America's national weakness as revealed by the stress of war "Is discovered to lie in our 'liHecure and bud lndustr!al rela- Hons," sulci Earl Dean Howard, of Evanston, in., l'rofessor of Kcouo- mics and Finance in Northwestern University in au address today before the Federal Council of the Clnirrhe of Christ in America, "industrai autocracy, wheiher in the form of domination by corporation or by unions is our enemy at home even as German uutocracy was o;ir enemy over there," continued Professor Howard. "Hie idea of democracy as a method of adjusting human relation ships, both politically and industrial ly, has taken deep root in the world, and this country may not hope to escape the logical consequences of the development of their tendency. The masses of people who depend upon industry for this entire liveli hood are losing confidence in the system of free enterprise which is still largely autocratic in its meth- ods. "Unless the government and bus- iness management unite to restore a week and was recognized by tb.J general confidence in our industrial police when brought to trial. system, it Is Inevitable that social j . forces which are already-in existence MAIN DEFEATS CEDAR will find our country as unprepared The Main 8treet ball team de to meet the supreme test as we were feated the Cedar Street team by the) to face the war with Germany, and with much less hope of a satisfact ory outcome. All of the construct ive forces whether on the side of management of organised labor must join to satisfactorily adapt our in dustrial relations-to the needs of the post-war conditions so as to deprive the racial and destructive forces of thetr power.
