THE TIGER'S PLEA
While the French Tiger's tail is
being twisted now and then by mem
bers of the Senate, Clemenceau lashes
back 1 with his accustomed vigor
The noted French statesman, ignoring
the governing body of the nation and
taking the plaint of his country direct
to the American people, left the arena
arranged for a kilkenny scrap. The
scrap is on, with the, tiger of France
at his very best, considering that he
stands within the shadows of 81 years.
Courteously receiving him as a dis
tinguished guest, honoring . him
as such, and lending respectful hear
ing to the message he brings, America
nevertheless will be cautious in en
tering the old world entanglement on
the side of France, or, for that mat
ter taking sides with any European
power in the Balkan mess. The Bal
kan situation is now just what it has
been for ages, and for precisely the
same reasons. It is based upon the up
heavel of racial and religous hatred
which no territorial frontier arrange
ment served to quell in the least,
prior to the World War. The Turk,
blood-thirsty instigator of Balkan
riot, murder and Christian massacre
was treking'out of Europe after the
signing of the armistice,' when the
Powers beckoned him back through
their age-old process of jealous bick
ering. He returned, crushing the
little Greek army, the dnly obstacle
in his path. He was so elated over
his success that he rushed pell mell
for Constantinople and the whole of
his pre-war possessions, for he wa3
neiped on his way by a generous
supply of French cannon and Italian
war munitions. Evidently fearful that
he would swamp the British Isles if
allowed to continue on his rampage,
the British momentarily checked him
just outside Constantinople, but sub
sequent parleys have given him the
city and what territory he demanded.
Thus the Powers have chosen the
Turk in preference to the Greek, and
Italy being satisfied, is "sitting fine."
While the Turk is at Lausanne,
Greece broken and bankrupt, is over
run with near a million of refugees
who fled by thirty days' grace from
the knife of the Turk. This is the
real situation in the Balkans, the
situation on which Clemenceau bases
his plea to America to "sit and be one
of us at Lauftinne." But until the
Powers clean house over there and
tack up a clean bill of rights, America
will undoubtely "sit" as she is; pre
pared to protect her own interests.
In the light of recent events if
a League of Nations , were ever ' to
accomplish results, Attieric a would
have to own the league.

Listening recently to her concert

WORTHY OF ITS NICKNAME
English Parliament Known to Fame
Chiefly for the Thing It
Failed to Accomplish.
Addle parliament Is a name given
to the English parliament which as
sembled In London on April 5, 1614
107 years before the union of the par
liaments of England and Scotland.
The parliament of King James I was
dissolved on the 6th of the following
June. It was called the addle parlia
ment because It remonstrated with the
king on his levying "benevolence" or
forced contributions from his subjects,
which was Illegal, but, It passed no
acts. This was due to the circum
stances that It was not given time to
do so, the king dissolving It and so
getting rid of troublesome and possi
bly dangerous critics. Addle Is from
the Saxon word, "adl," sick, diseased.
Addle as an adjective means having
lost the power of development by be
coming diseased, as eggs. Hence, pro
ducing nothing, unfruitful or barren,
as addle brains. As a verb It means
to make addle; to make corrupt or
morbid, as to addle eggs.
The federal edict is for the Wallula
cutoff. So the Wallula cutoff it is,
no mattre that it is virtually a du
plication of permanent hard surfaced
highway at duplicate cost to the
State, that will for sometime to come
put a crimp in road construction in
Eastern Oregon which is really needed
for development.

Richard Washburne Child, chief
American spokesman in Near East
conference at Lausanne, applied the
"open door" policy to Turkey and
our guess is that said door will here
after remain open, regardless of all
cut-and-dried pre-conference arrange
ments for commerical concessions.
Subsequent to the amazement caused
the powers seated at Lausanne by
Ambassador Child's specific declar
ation, why not as well state, figu
ratively, that Turkey's door key has
been tossed into the BosphorusT
