JewiKb holidays with their de

a rise In poultry and a demand far
exceeding the supply. Wholesale
prices have risen whllo the retail

about an average of 50 cents a

ishes and onions remain the same

Removing The Stain
Passage of the Colombian treaty by the senate recom
pensing the United States of Colombia with $25,000,000 for
the rape of the Panama canal zone, tardily removes a stain
from the name and honor of the United States government
placed there by President Roosevelt. It is shameful that
action was delayed for eighteen years and that it took the
discovery of oil in Colombia to force the senate to an act of
justice.
The Panama revolution was manufactured in New York
and the Hay-Herran treaty, made the pretext for interference
by President Roosevelt, was drafted by William Nelson
Cromwell, attorney for the Panama Canal company. Senor
Herran, the Colombian charge d' affairs, was induced to
sign secretly, over the expressed instructions of his govern
ment rejecting the treaty.
The United States senate, at Roosevelt's request, ratified
this treaty, but the Colombian government, as possessor of
the Isthmus of Panama, as the grantor of the canal conces
sion anl as principal stockholder in the Panama Canal com
pany, refused to ratify the treaty, hence the "revolution"
organized by the agents of the Panama railroad, owned
by the Panama Canal company, and carried through by aid
of the United States government, which sent a warship to
the isthmus to prevent Colombia from landing troops to
quell the revolt. The Panama Canal company was paid
$40,000,000 from the United States treasury and the
trumped up republic $10,000,000 for its services.
In this manner, President Roosevelt violated the treaty
with the sister republic and, in his own words, "took the
isthmus and left congress to debate," just as the German
Kaiser took Belgium. When Attorney General Knox was
asked to find a legal justification for the action, he is re
ported to have told Roosevelt, "Why complicate this action
with any taint of legality?" and until the passage of the
present treaty, it never had been legalized.
The same senators, led by Lodge, who held up the treaty
under President Wilson, championed its ratification under
Harding, showing that political partisanship and not
principle governs the United States senate in its foreign
relations a fact emphasized by the treatment accorded the
Treaty of Versailles.

Among those loudest in the clamor for tariff is the paper

of newspapers throughout the land. ' Detroit - When the Tigers
The need of protecting this infant industry is brought knocKud waiter Malls out of the
vividly to mind by the annual reports of the paper companies, box in Wednesday's gamo with
now being made public. The report of the International i Cleveland, the Indians' southpaw
Paper company, one of the largest of the affiliated combin
ations, depicts the sad plight of the newsprint makers.
This concern had in 1920 net earnings of $11,836,362 after
taxes, depreciation and fixed charges were paid, and $10,-
3:56,362 was added to the surplus fund, which now totals
$32,062,619. The dividend on the common stock, which
represents promotion and water, was $52.07 on $100, as
against $34.02 in 1917, the previous high year, and was 200
percent greater than in 1 1)19.
The president of the company depicts its melancholy con
dition as follows: "The industry is still carried on under
unfair and oppressive conditions because congress removed
the moderate protective duty." Demand has fallen off since
the first of the year, production has been curtailed and
"heavy borrowing is necessary to carry accumulated stocks."
Wage reductions are declared necessary and a strike of em
ployes impends.
Yet the paper makers refuse to make a substantial reduc
tion in price to a figure that will more nearly represent costs
phis a fair profit, and thus stimulate the demand, preferring
instead to maintain prices by artificial conditions, accumu
lating stcoks, closing down mills to curtail production, reduc
ing wages and enacting a tariff anything to maintain
Inflated prices and profits and stave-off the inevitable.
The condition in the newsprint business is similar to that
in many industries, striving to perpetuate profiteering,
which refuse to co-operate in the deflation necessary for the
.'i.-i.vt .l.liKhm.tnt nf the normal, and thereby prolong the
period of industrial depression and postpone the return of a
healthy prosperity.
