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,—

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.

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.

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.
