I Great Britian is planning for a mighty air fleet, to supplement her already formidable naval forces and furnish additional safeguards against possible foes. The estimate which has been prepared by British mili tary authorities calls for appropria tions totaling one third of a billion dollars for the military air service, The program provides for a main- tenance of 102 air squadrons for na- tional defense, and to carry the ser- vice to Egypt, to India—in fact, to all partB of the British Empire, thus to keep Britian at the forefront of aerial development. Evidently Great Britian is not trusting to the Impotence of foes or the signing of peace agreements, i but plans to be prepared in future i for any kind of emergency. She has learned the value of aerial strength and Intends to make good use of this lesson. Germany is to be compelled to give up her air fleet, and in the treaty of peace will be prohibited from the ox>eration or production of military airships. But England nevertheless Intends to be on her guard, and to be fully prepared for any kind of eventuality. This nation should not neglect this same lesson, which was given point by the experiences of the recent war. The waters that isolate the United States from other great powers are wider than the English channel or the North Sea, but nevertheless the defensive program of this country cannot be regarded as adequate un less it includes a strong and effective air service. The needs of Great Brit ian in this respect are no greater than our own. in fact America should per mit no other nation to surpass her in aerial development, and esx>ecially as activity along this line will mean commercial advantage and improved public service, at the same time that military needs are being cared for,— Observer.

It consists in the secession of organized labor from Its leaders. The leaders have risen from union ism into political activity and public life, becoming war workers and so cial servants. The led hav fallen to the rear, are misled by agitators who four years ago were unknown and break away from the unions. This break has plunged Belfast, Glasgow and London into industrial ferment.

See Us for Prices Before Ordering Elsewhere At laBt the peace league commis- . sion has awakened to a realization ithat the government of the United States is not an autocracy; that the president can propose treaties, but the Constitution endows the senate with the right and duty to dispose. We are advised by the Associated Press correspondent at Paris that the amendments proxtosed by Senator Lodge will at least be considered, and that the text of the speeches of Senators Lodge and Knox and the main points of the recent debate be- (tween Senator Lodge and Dr. Lowell are being gone over. President Wil son will do well to heed the growing demand in this country for sensible, l strengthening amendment Of the proposed league covenant, On this side of the water the force of the demand for revision has been pub- licly acknowledged by former Presi dent Taft and William Jennings Bryan, two men who pioneered the movement for a world league of peace. There is no great difference betwen Taft, Bryan and Lowell, on the one hand, and Senator! Lodge Knox and McCormick on the other hand, regarding the nature of the needed amendment.—Spokesman Re- view. 191». Defying American Opinion. .... . » It was the Kaiser who said would ‘‘stand for no nonsense from the Americans.” There is now an other executive in Europe who seems to take about that attitude toward the other branches of the American government, and toward the Ameri can people themselves, in his repre sentations to the delegates of Euro pean and Asiatic nations to the Par is x>eace conference. If these foreign diplomats want to go through the motions of negotiating an agreement with a self-appointed colleague who breathes defiance of the United States Senate, that is their affair. But this is a matter in which Paris proposed but the United States Sen ate and the American people make final disposition so far as their par ticipation in the agreement is con cerned. It is possible, of course, that the cunning diplomatic agents of Europe and Asiatic xtowers are de liberately plotting to overthrow any plan for international co-operation to prevent future wars, by denying to the American Senate and the American people the right to suggest amendments to the treaty. It is eas ier to believe this than to accept the theory that they defy American opin ion and American prerogative as de fined in the American constitution, or that they are in that total ignor ance of the state public opinion in this country which describes all op- I>osition to the Cecil-Wilson covenant all demands for its amendment, as partisan and insincere. The people of the United States fought for their ln- dependence twice; they will not re- fuse to talk and vote for it now. Topic For Thought. ------ o------ Lesson! While a large lumber con cern at Bellingham was dismissing five hundred employes for lack of labor, trainloads of lumber, duty free were going through the town from Canada, filling orders tor customers in the United States. Free trade! Free imports, from Canada, at good profits, are now coming in at the rate of eight million a month, all without even paying a war tax on bills of laden of three per cent each, which we have to pay in order to handle our own products on our own markets. Canada levies a tariff on all Ameri can manufacturers of lumber of 7 Vi to 42*4 per cent, thus completely shutting out our lumber, while hers comes in free.—Leslie's Weekly. For Sale or Trade.
