Not even this m, ch has yet urlsen from European councils The Treaty of Revres with the wraith of yl'itrkey is more dlsc-od. Red than nnjipact resulting- from the world war. It satisfies neither victors nor van quished nnd some of its terms deal rather with fantasies than with facts. Its futility Is clearly recognlied by res ident Wilson Iu the State Department's note on Hussia, n missive which In a sense gives a standing to the United States In the latest International council. What Mr. Wilson calls for, before delegating action to Mr. Morgeuthau in the Armenian mediation case, is n consistent policy toward Itussla which will deprive the Soviet Government of the profitable luxury of counter-charges. His appeal for absolute noninterference with the l!olsuoUt reslm, espclnlly In the border htatos, come: nt a time when dis sensions among th" Soviet leaders arc no longer hidden. The State Department Is in possession of Russian journals nnd docu ments Indicative of a llolshevlst collapse through Interrtil corrosion. Obviously ag gressive foreign Intervention would bo likely to halt thnt process. The delegates In Paris will be derelict indeed If their negotiations fn.ll to result In some understandable Russian policy. The Turkish complication, the Sevres treaty nnd the plight of Armenia r.re so Intimately related to Russian nffulrs that separation Is Impossible except at the dis heartening cost of indefinitely prolonging n crisis. As an uld to reaching a viewpoint tinon Russia there is, moreover, encouraging news from the exiles in Pnjls. The various liberal democratic Russian groups in that city have finally combined nnd sessions have been opened attended by 100 members of the last legally elected Russian constituent assembly. The council of diplomatists has indeed a sig nal opportunity to embrace the psychological moment for approaching the Russian situa tion decently and courageously. Superhuman achievements are not ex pected. The original peace conference de htroyed the exceedingly dangerous faith of humanity in miracle -vorklng. The disillu sionment has been regrett"d. The gain in common seiiso will be increasingly ap preciated as the years pass. Appreciation will also grow concerning tl.e IndestJiictibility of the bonds, selfish or otherwise, uniting America and Europe. The present highly important meeting of hopeful delegates is not European but world-wide In its significance. It i? nn nttemnl to face the nfter-war problems realistically, and from such prob lems no Individual citizen of the United States can be dissociated. NATIONALIZED MEAT IT WAS not until the Chicago meat packers were charged with a sjtematlc effort to get control of other food products poultry, eggs, cereals and the like that long and more or less formless antagonism expressed in public criticism of their methods resolved itself into a demand for federal control so insistent us to find titteution and powerful support in the Senate. It may be us charged that the Rig Five ure at heart a monopoly and that they aim to i ontrol the nutionnl food supply. Thus far, luwtver, n clear case has not been made out M.'i.nst, them. Much is to bs said for the smooth and efficient sjstem of distribution that they have built up. I.ikc the Standard till Co.. the packers put their business on u . entitle basis in the interest of general economy. There seems to be sime ground for their contention that the efficiency of their print organizations did most to keep meat prieps down to levels lower than might otherwise have been possible in times thnt have seen the swift transformation of what oni were free grazing areas and a great tliiniiiag out of herds that a fiw years ugo could b" fatteniil almost without cost on the open grass lands of the west and southwest. It is the nati.i'i of the Big Five's ambitions thai, seems to have offended general opinion. When during the war they actually nlmed to get control of meat substitute-, they otiened the we" to thf present crisis in their affairs. No ni.tio-i cvii'd -afely permit the rer.lizntion of uny such s i.eme. Even more .'niticant than the meat eoti trej' bill is the procedeat which the Senate i-, i tublUlii..g ly s ,id?n wide departures frotii its trim.

ABOUT BLUE LAWS John Walton Deplores Misrepresen tation of the Sunday Observance Question Philadelphia's Port Unknown Benefactors 9es qulcentennlal Plans Ry OEOROE NOX McOAIN JOHN WALTON, who has been appointed one of the layman delegates on the inter church committee on Sabbath observance, henrtily deprecates the current misrepre sentation of the question. What the Chiistlan people who nre in terested In the Snblmth observance movement desire Is, he says, the preservation of the Uhrlstlnn Subbath 11s It has been recognized In the past and observation of existing laws. "Thu exaggerated pictures that have been drawn of the so-called 'blue' law Stindny nre the work of those who desire n wide open Sunday. That means the letting down or nil bars, the throwing open of theatres, movlngtpicture shows, the commercializing of Stindny sports nnd the general desecration of ft day thnt should be devoted to rest," says Mr. Wulton.

"We nre not in favor of n 'blue' Sunday, as some of the advocates of the wide-open Sunday would have the public believe; we do believe and demnnd, however, ti proper regard for the Lord's Day." AR. SMITH. United States commissioner of navigation here, reports the largest cnr his office has ever had. Commissioner Smith Is nn Infallible guide to port condi tions, because all the men on American owned vessels engaged in foreign trtfde sign on or nre discharged before him. American -owned ships comprise about one-fifth of all the Miins of this port. During the year 1U20 2(1.48." men shipped and 24.4.?rt men were discharged on about S00 vessels. The averngc crev, of the vessels using this port is thirty-five men nnd five officers. In 11120 412!) vessels, coastwise and foreign, urrived at our docks nnd piers. Oddly enough, there were 4221 shipn thnt sniled or ninety-two more than arrived. These ninety-two, however, were either built here or were in dock nt the beginning of the year. IT IS nil very well to tulk about booming the port, but after all, it i.s united effort that counts, and figures that tell the story. East year the value of the cargoes shipped from Philadelphia in oceun-going vessels wao $4(12,017,82(5, In the same period the value of the cargoes lnnd"d on our docks, in the way of imports wns $2MU 77,171. The totnl trade of the port in imports nnd exports reached tho enormous value of $742.-. 221,11(17. which exceeds the figures of nuy preceding year in Philadelphia's history. The imports of 1P20 alone exceeded those of 11110 by more than .$100,000,000. The present enpnii'y for loading and un loading ships i.s o0.000.000 tons of freight c year.

November 1, Mr. "Stockman, super intendent ..f the institute, suys thev have registered over ouOO lodgings. THE importance of a work such as this can only bo appreciated when it Is known thnt tic average number of individual sea-me-. earning to this port each year is raor" than R'O.OtiO.

Philadelphia should be given due and acknowledged credit for starting the idea, according to Morris Earlc, of .the firm of Williams, Rrown & Eurle, optical and drawing supplies, and secretary of the joint commission appointed by the genera' con vention of the Protistant Episcopal Church for the revision of the hymnal. Two attributes of the revised volume, in the opinion of Mr. Eurle. are the standards set bv the music and by the poetry, both of which were too often neglected in the older hymnals. Especial care was token with the music, for, according to Mr. Earlo. music is the best influence for a unity of all creeds nnd nil denominations. "In 1007." says Mr. Enrle in retrospect, "the idea of the revised hymnal first took root, coming, as so many good movement come, up from the people and not from the Inner organization of the church itself. The Church Club of Philadelphia was a leader In the movement, which spread to thirty or forty other dubs of ft similar nature in as many other cities. "Committees appointed by thc3e clubs took the matter under consideration, rulslng th" money necessary for incidental expenses. This interest in the matter, which atar.ed among the pei.nle, carried it Into tho con vention of 1010 in Cincinnati by means of memorials from the different church clubs throughout the country. Further Proof of People's Action "The program under which the revision was undertaken from that time on Included, primurily, the reports of reviews by com mittee" appointed by bishops in their var ious dioceses, ngajn showing that this wns an action coming from the people. Fifty eight out of sixty -five dioceses made complete and exhaustive reports ns to hymns to be re tained fioin the old hymnal und included in the new hymnr.l. New material was sought in words and music from nil over the United States and by refe n-nce to nil new hymnals of many denominations nnd creeds in this country , Cutuidn and England, because Jiymniils form a unity in religion of the thoughts of devotion common to all beliefs. "So th" campaign went forward until the convention of 101."., when the formal commis sion on the rt virion of the hvmnal was np pointed ns follows; Rlshop Cortland White head. S. T. I)., chairman; Rishops O, Mott Willintr.s, Thomas F. Davles. William V. Falwr, tin Revs, .fames W. Ashton, Charles E. S a 'ery and Hubert W. AVells. Dr. Miles Futovv. Roland S. Morris, Robert C. Pruvn and myself. The Rev. Frank Daiiiroseh, Jr., was later elected by the joint commission Itself. "Of the committee appointed in 1010 the Rlshop of Albany, the late Dr. William Croswell Dontie, wns the chairman. "This commission pushed ahead the work of revision and reported to the convention of 1010 in St. Louis, Mo. The volume sub mitted by them was practically the same as the revised hymiiiil which finally was pub lished nnd Is now being used. The features of the revised volume included the elimina tion of more than 2l)0 hymns which had been found, after careful investigation, to be little or never used, and the uddltion qf 120 hymns collected from other souri'ea because of their merits. There were 550 hymns In the collection, arranged In tho order of the firayer book, all signed and dated. Another nterestlng feature was the Inclusion of many new hymns by American authors, na well ns numerous ones whose keynote wits brotherhood or He-vice or national spirit, and some fine outstanding cxniimles of undent hymnology never previously used. "ltiis volume, submitted in the fotm of n report to the 111RJ convention, was passed, with Instructions to put it to music nnd then bring it buck before thp general convention of 1010 nt Detroit, which ncce-ited it us a whole and authorized its publication. Music Carefully Manned "Th" music of the revised hymnal is one of its most curefnlly plitnned features, nnd one to which vve gave not only our undivided nttentlon but in order to be sure of the tech nicul perfection of our work brought in mus leal experts to assist us. "On tho technical committee which wns appointed by our joint commission were such persons as the late Prof. Horatio Parker, Mhb. Doc. Oxford University; the professor of music In Yule University. Prof. W. II. Hall, of Columbia: Prof. P. ( Hit kin, of Chlcfigo University; Miles Farrow, Mus. Doc, of the Cathedral of St. John thu Divine, New York : Dr. T. Tertian Noble, nf New York city ; Dr. Wallace flood rich, of the Roston Conservatory of Music, fcid Canon Wlnfred Douglas, fnmous-for frtudy In the field of church music. - "These, meu met once a week for a ymt for discussion of tag piiula la U19 new STILL A SERIQUS CASE hU.1 -! -T - ' J- .irll-iJ hymnal. As a result, many persons, including men not directly connected vv'tli the church but in whom there is the divine spnrk of music, hnvc testified to the excellence of the new hymnnl. "Iii fact it shoii'd well be pointed out here that the inspiration of the revised livmnnl movement goes faither bnck even than the agitation of the church clubs, having ns its source, indeed, the interest nnd desire of the people for improved music In connection with their devotional exercises. 'The lyrical poetry of the church is. and has always been, very dear to all church people and bus n very important nnd in tlucntlnl impress in privnte und public devo tion. Music is. of course, niiiversul, nnd if the congregations of nil creeds worshiped (tod through the medium of music, they would sit hnppily together. Foundation Strong and Rroad "This foundation wns strong nnd broad in the minds of the joint commission nnd it built it superstructure on this foundation, believing that congregational singing is one of tin; strongest influences in the religion of the church. For. it has been stated, and would seem to be readily understood bv the results demonstrated in congregationul sing ing, that 2." per cent of the people tmli'.v ure able to read music nt sight nnd love nothing belter thuii to join with each other in prais ing .od in this way. "Unlike, other hyinnnls, the commiRs'on insisted in this case that the church itself should reap the beneficial profits derived from thn sale of the now hymnnl. The copy right was therefore turned over to the trustees of the church pension fund for the bent tit oi old or enfeeb'ed clergymen and their families, This step eliminated the fac tor, of pcwonul gain or personal umbltlon. And so in the reception and prulse in tending tl.e first actual appearance of the re-vised hymnal Philadelphia should be proud of its own purt in the campaign. Through Or. John Jhomson and other members of the Church Club. it iden took root in Phil adelphia, spread and finally bWonicd into ii compwidiiim of lyrics of the ehuicli that has been culled u classic by the well-known l.ymiiologist, the Rev. Louis F. Rensoti, D.D., of Philadelphia, editor of the Hvniiial of the Presbyterian Church, to whom I de sire to pxiiress mv great appreciation for th" coiitiibiitiou of the hymns of his own writing and for his guid'itice and assistance to me personally, ns well as to tho joint comnilsbion." It is alleged thot Herman foreign traders arc pPing up heavy bn'onces lu their favor In other countiies. That they thus dctircs.s their own cuirency worries them not nt all, for it seems to b" the policy at this time to prove (iermany bankrupt.
