Capital Entitled To
A Living Wage
A bright young man remark
(d the other day that capital
waa entitled top living wage
Some type of men may not
think so but the common sensa
qt the nation is overwhelmingly
hack of the proposition that ep
tylpyere must prosper if em
ployees are to do so
Some combinations of capital
make more thah a living' wage
hut super prosperity that they
pap enforce for themsel ves is no
criterion by which to judge the
average huinw "W1 fcver

known oj business that for
many years did pot prosper as

A good many people have
stultified themselves in their
attitfide toward the League of
Nations It soems to be the
popular thing just now to say
that President Wiison has be
trayed ns to the sinister politi-
cians of the Allies
It shows that we have rather
short memories So far from
i inveigling ns into s compact
with themselves the allies took
a rather phlegmatic view of the
league when the subject was
broached and were subjected
to severe criticism for us for
that reason
When the armlstlc was signed
President Wilson decided to at-
tend the conference From all
parts of the country arose en
comiums and adulation with
some criticism We were told
that the President had concetv
ed the idea of a league to pre
' -
vent future wars the noblest
program" ever framed in the bo-
man brain ' And he was going
to Europe to shepherd theother
nations igto the fold — to force
them into it if they would' not
enter willingly' He bed form
slated a new policy for the
world
We claim ' in fact that the
Ideaiof a leagne to enforce peace
originated in the superior sag
aclty of this country It is
rather too lsteto deny it now
We were the originators of the
idea We wanted the credit for
it add the scheme works well
(and with good judgment it
may) we deserve t(ie crenit for
' The allies did not clamor for
it They simply acqnlesed Tn
oppose the id a would have
been savage The only reser
vation which each nation made
was manifested in An un willing
ness to accept any condition in
imical to its own natural sov
areignty and' security
The English were never
strong for it They saw no
sense in opposing it provided
it did them no harm If it did
them any good they would wel
come it Rut it must not effect
their naval supremacy or the
security of tbehf empire their
colonies and dependencies Out
sldeoftbtf everything was all
right It was hooray for the
league They were even kind
enough to write much of the
treaty— as a guarantee that it
would not fiurt them-
The JFrench said pretty much
tha same thing If they were
taken care of they were agree'
hie' The other powers took
ranch the same attitude
Tney have never taken any
other view If we decide now
that the leagne will operate to
our detriment— that we don’t
want one— we will hear no in-
dignant 'protest from Europe
We will nctbe antagonizing
them over there They never
wanted one particularly ' At
all events they did not want one
very loudly ' The American
delegates - were the ones who
did that
Hence it is rather late now to
accuse President Wilson of
countenancing an attempt by
the allies to entrap ns into a
league against our interests
Our delegates in Paris were
demanding the league Many
in America were clamoring for
it It is of our own making or
rather we are responsible for its
having been made ‘
Inasmuch as the league was
literally forced upon the allies
we can hardly object if they
want to coat the pill with sugar

The treaty which we have
signed with France Imposes up-
on ns the duty of sending an
other A: E F to Eutope it Ger-
many begins again to fortify
the Rhine valley or to take
eteps of an aggressive nature
The British are likewise
bound to send another B E Fi
to France under the same con
ditiona All three of us are sig
calories tothe treaty
Now it would seem at first
that the treaty is a little one 1
sided The French and British
bind themselves to lend
are
by Mexico or Jappn
And as a consequence-a num-
ber of critics are complaining
that we have again been v'clim-
Ised Z
Bnt the one sidedness of the
treaty is only apoarent It-may
grieve a number to see this
country assuming any orthe ob-
ligations implied in a foreign
alliance Perhaps they are
right Any treaty at ail may
be bad policy for the United
States But that does not make
this treaty unfair v '
France is compelled to maii
tain a stupendous army to ove
awe Germany military ambition
and the resulting financial bur
den presses heavily on her
economic strength She is for
ever on guard— and as Germany
has a score to settle with us as
well as with her this is fortu
nate for ourselves Here is
where France recipaocates
Great Britain also- It is well
for us that Jugland can pay for
a navy which will prevent the
Germans from sending warships
to sea and incidentally to oar
coasts
If Britain And France can pay
the costof eternal vigilance we
ean hardly call the treaty one
sided Wilson and Lansing
probably had a few of these
facts in mind when they signed
it'
