" Itorognition i here made of the indbpen sabilitj of the original peace treaty ns n basis for readjusting our relations with the outside world. The fact that much argu ment I, a been beard to the contrnrj doe not alter the truth In his leceiit note concerning Yap nnd Mesopotamia. Mr. Hughes' criticisms nrc founded nn action taken by our former allies subsequent tn the conclusion of the trenty, nnd contain plain implications of our intent to persist in rights and privileges safeguarded to us b) that pact. Senator Knox' separate pence resolution was unique in its icspcci for our Interests in a treat) which bis program was designed to reject utterly. The President evidently ioalir.es the nb sunlit) u f the Knox stand, and bis ndvo cac) of an immediate peace declaration cor losponds hardly nt all with the plans of the bitter-enders The concessions made to them In the message are, indeed, far 'more apparent thnn real Mr Harding urgi the establishment of "a state of technical pence without delaj." but as he is at some pains to point oul the futiliti of negotiating separate treaties with the Central Powers, it i not ens) to see what cither the irreconcilaldes or the nntinn a a whole would gain bi n somewhat tooth less pronouncement Such a performnnie iot:M assert the existence of peace without making it. What nm state of affairs would be determined by such a congressional reso lution? As a matter nf fait, wo have pence at this moment. What we hick is a tieat) or treaties enabling u tn derive advantage fiom the situation Peiluip .Mr Harding in his desiie not to offend the battalion nf death in sugaring tb" pill. It tli" i oating is icnioved it can be. found that whut be indorses Is some thing quit1' different from that which origi nail) wii. proposed b) Senator Knox, When the latter and his cohorts realize the change, the) mav be inclined to moderate their transport on behalf of specdv action.

Categorienl as is Mr Harding language, tne death sentence which he pionouniei on the League of Nations i nlsn tapable of mixed i (instruction Our interest in "nn association of nation bused upon the ap plication of justice and right ' is reiterated In contrast, the preseni league is exhibited as "the enforcing ugenev of the i ictors of the war" and an appeal i made for "an uistrumentnllt) of mstiee iinassoeiated with the pnssinn "f Msiirdaj Hut as those passions of j i sterdai in volied the foiled Stales and as the Presi dent nnd Mi Hughe are zealous in their endeamis in pi i'..' nnjt'.iing gamed In i.s in the cnnfti't 'i voulil seem thai there nre passions nnd paction The consequences of tliosi v hirb Inflamed u iientlll new with om.' faior The illogic of firs attitude is manifes' Confused also is ihc iluriking which rele gates ,i societv which we w i re trie to join and in .vluoli we could, had we been so minded, hnve played n role nf high s)hicul worth, tn the status ot a military alliance alienated from our ( oik option of u protected inter national pence. The anti-bagiKrs believe this last to be true, and in justice to them it must be ndmitted Mint thii is a mutter of personal opinion Hut this refriu tory element in human relationship has no beat it.g upon tin dovetailing of the league with some cif the most important provisions of the treat I Sin , ii merger ena.v In regretted hut it exists, nnd ivnen Mr Harding emphasizes the folly nf seeking in in'giHliite iseparate treaties with the Central Powers he m effect approve tn a significant extent the Wrsuilbs treati. eif which the lownant is a pnrt It is this indorsement which beclouds Mr Harding's denunciation of the league and suggests thai the head of the nation is feel ing bis wii) to n solution of the problem which may produce' a modified league, or the same lengue under a new name and an ac ceptance with amendments of the treat of Versailles The message in its trcntment of the in ternavioniti ease may bo described as tenta tive, TiiS(Ieslre to placate contending p0. liticnl forces and to breiitbe the spirit of compromise is unmistakable. The nntngos nlstlc method overwhelmed Mr. Wilson with fnilure Mr. Harding bns adopted the re verse or conciliatory course. There nre times, however, when nn iuc must be sqiinrolv faced The nttittlde to be tnken need not be bellicose, but it should be explicit. The occasion Is ripe today, for the nation is utterly weary of postponements of essentials In the consideration of inter national ills The nearest nppioach to direct treatment In Mr. Harding's message Is the expressed aversion to an isolntion policy nnd the re spect shown for the existing trenty if ren dered conformable to our liking. The rofnrnintlyii cannot be effected by de claring peace and halting ut Mint point. It innnot be accomplished by the most sincere tnlnl repudiation of the league so long n tin countiy Is in favor of arbitral mnchltiery and other pence bulwarks con tained in the covenant. A conference in Washington could con ceivably ili-ie the fog In n roundabout wny Mr Harding scoiu to be bending toward a policy itn oh ing n rrnpcnlng of the world parle) The task is lingo, but It Is not so formldnble as the work of executing a mass of Inchoate suggestions bristling with con tindictinn. HARDING'S DOMESTIC POLICY THE domestic policies outlined by Presi dent Hauling in his address, to Congies will e ointneii'l themselves: to the judgment of the (oiiiitry lie starts by stressing the need nf econonn There Is nothing new in this. Eionom.v ha Ik en talked about b) ever) President from Washington down. It hns been practiced by few Congresses. Condi tlons nre such now that unless it is prac tued the taxpayer will visit retribution upon the oihe'oiinldors who neglect their duty. The government bus been raising $."5,000. nOO.OillI a e;u This sum must be cut to Sl.llOrt.Oilfl.OOd m- less. Oovcrnment ex penditures, however, ennnot be kept within th(o limits without eliminating nil tuiin'ces sari expenditure. Uellef can be found through n teiision nf the internal tax law, by the Kpi-al of those taxes which have be come unproductive and by n lowering oi other taxes without which the business of the government ennuot be carried on. Mr Hniding" announcement thnt the administration ts omimltted to the repeal of the exce s-profits tax Is reassuring That tax hns bi'en the most burdensome nnd in equitable of all the various tnxes levied during the war. Husiness condition now nre tiii'li that il can produce little revenue. Hut whether it produced revenue or not, it should bo abolished without deln.v. Mnnv persons will agree with the Presi dent when he says thnt whether internal taxation or the tariff is considered first is of les importance than bns been popularly imagined Iloth systems of tnxntion must be jevlsed. nnd the levlslon enn go along together The President fnvors the passage of u temporary emeigency tnriff lnw to remain in force only until Cngiess enn draft a per manent revlion of the present law The SimiuonK-l'nilerwooil tariff now in force is unsatisfactory, nnd wus so proved within less than a .vcar of its passage. It i agreed b) nil believers in the American policy of piotectiou thnt it should be (ontiiiued in force only so long as it will take for Con gress to substitute something bettei for it. The permanent measure, according lo Mi. Harding, should be designee to protect the markets of'Amerlca for American pioducers. Every Itepublican will agree to this. Whnt disagreement there will be will come over the best wn) to protect our markets without interfering with thnt free How of foreign trade necissnrj to enable our debtors to pay what they owe ti. 110111 the question of revenue the Plci dent turns to the regulation of it expendi ture, ami he Indorses the budget system ."Mill urge' Congress to piovlde lor it at an inrly date He insist on the application of busi ness methods to government business Of ei'ial importune i is bis oppositiop to the iiiteifi'reiice of government in private business One of the most significant pas sagos in the whole address announces that "it is n.

The slogan of the first Is. "Walt and see!" The slogan of the other is, "No sooner snld than done!" I can never tnnke up my mind which makes the fewer mistakes In the long run; those who act slowly for fcur of missing something or those who net quickly. I was Impressed today however, with the luck or wisdom, or both, of n set of men who have noted rather cautiously, or ot nil events who buve seemed to some of the women folks to lime been rnther "slow 011 the uptake." A(iOOl) mail) years ago there stood on the 1 oilier of Twelfth nnd Walnut streets n fine old Preshyterlnn church, which hail for its most eminent pnstog n much loved limn bv the name of Ilnnrilmnn. To tlii church most of the Importnnt nnd rich CnlvlnlMs of sixti .vears ngo used to ilock from the sedate nnd handsome old houses in the then fashionable lesldentlnl pnrt of the city below Proud street nnd between Chest nut nnd f pi uee Hut ns the stores and offices beenn to creep up those streets mid the boarding bouses begnn to creep down, the congregation erosseil Hrond and settled wist on Spruce street, selling the Twelfth street prnpertv to the Episcopnllnns, who built on the Walnut street front of the lot 11 bin. bniidsom" office building, which they culled "The Church House.' It contained 11 large auditorium, pleasant nnd commodious offices for two bishops nnd their secretaries, variou board rooms nnd then, ns one progressed upward, Inrge nnd smnll offices or clubrnonis for n number of dlnccsnn netlvitle. The ground floor rooms were Hrt uod for dlocesnn purposes nnd Inter teiiti'cl nut to business linns, flrndu nil) the rooms and offices upstairs. Mint had at first seemed ndeqiinte for the varied ac tivities of Episcopal work here In the town and its environs, were outgrown; gradually the fnct that the corner nf Twelfth nnd Wal nut Is one of tin. noisiest in town innde the use of the auditorium for religious meetings more and more impractical. The tnxes were enormous, yet I be lenses of the stores on the ground floor were long ones. If the entire building hud been used for church purnoes it would bnrdl) have given nil the nctivlties Mint should bove been gathered theie eoip for their work, vet the most convenient part of the building was ued for seculnr purposes. .which raised the tnxes without really pay lug for tin raise. In a word, the business of tho diocese hnd ouiu'iown the building so far ns office room wns concerned, and the noise of the traffic 'ml iinde its Inrge nnd noble rooms un snlinble for devotionnl service SO THE Church House wns sold nnd the eiiostinn of where to go next became n vltnl one. And Jut here those who wished to act at onto nnd those who wished to wait and look about for suitable quarters vfere most iticomnri'henslble tn one another. A snrt of a compromise wns effected Mint actually pleased no one Jt was declibjil that, pending the having nf suitable quarters in a central spot, the present home of the bishop mi Twenty-second street should be changed into 11 temporary ehurili office house unci 'her qtmrters found for him. Hut that house, commodious as it wns, could not be made to iiccommodnte nil the organintions that belonged in 11 diocesan bouse.
