It` has many dc-. fenders and .-ymputhisers in this part of ' the world, of course, but the a;tack.~s upon it and the feeling that it is an ornamental concern of more importance to Europe than to anyone else. finds` frequent expression. Yet it is functioning with growing vigor. At this writing its Assembly, gathered at Geneva. has a representation of forty-four distinct nationalities. These are convinced that it. is of direct benefit now and could be. made a still greater benefit to the world.at- large. Significant incidents show the up- i i s preciation it is gaining in- the eyes of the world. Senor Augustin Edwards of Chile . has been elected President with forty-two votes out of the forty-four represented. This honor for South America is a contin- uation of similar honors to a group of re- publics that by their actions have set an ex- ample to the United States that it is not 3 improbable the world's greatest republic: will follow sooner or later. John H. \ Clarke, Associate Justice of the Supreme t Court of the United States. has resigned ` from that body to devote his whole. time I to preaching andadvancing the doctrine ] of the Leagueof Nations. and it is intim- ; ated that Washington may take the leatl in. a new economic conference for the pur-. -pose of helping to rehabilita`e Europe. These are straws that show a favoring wind -from a quarter that has blown adversely` upon a project for which it once had noth- ing but fair winds and pleasant weather.

Some despatches represent the feeling of the conference as being that there will be very little unemployment unless some unforseen occurrence upsets the whole prospective situation. It was also agreed that for all who need assistance to get through the winter. some form of produc- tive laborywill be found. The delegates of the various provinces were emphatic in their criticism of any measures of relief by doles. Manitoba province sounded a" warning` against` physically fit single men. TVT -....-, _..-.-.. ....,....,... Thousands of English speaking people the world over, especially those of the older generation, will receive with regret the news of the death of George R. Sims, play-_ wright and author. For forty years with- out _a single break Sims had contributed special articles to a popular Sunday paper. and within an hour of hisdeath finished an article for that publication. A genial kindlyesoul. a friend of all who were poor or sick or out of luck, Sims was at one time the foremost dramatist of England with an income of some $100,000 a year from his pen. His greatest hit `was The Lights 0' London which is still occasionally ` played in English speaking countries. _Many thousands who knew nothing what- ever of Sims, and who had not seen that play have some time or other read or heard recited his little poem The Lights of Lon- don Town. In the few lines of verse he tells a whole story of the,tramp to_London of a country led and lassie seeking fortune and fame in the great city.-and their return a disillusioned man and'a heart-sick woman. At seventy-five years of age and in his later years sidffering much illness and great pain. Sims, who had no illusions as to Lon- don left in the heart or mind. presented to the world a smiling countenance and a gen- iality that would not_ be `beaten by physical ailments. With the immedi/ate danger of an in- vasion of further. German territory pas=ed a new arrangement has been reached be`- tween German and French interests for the reconstruction of the devastated areas -of France. German building materials are to be sent direct to the ruined towns and villages of the devastated'regions. A reduction in German co'al deliveries is pro- vided ior so that German factories may be kept-running to supply the materials in question. It is expected that this ar- rangement will _be accepted by all interests in France and by other powers which may be directly concerned in the matter of repar- s a-tions. Hugo Stinnes, the great German financier and industrial leader, is the guid- ing spirit inpthe matter for the German side. Paris, which has probably had a re- action against the plans and proposals it favored not so long ago. will perhaps de- cide that it is better to get what you can rather than demand what you cannot get. Paris does not always truly represent French opinion. but the influence of its press and its official class is widespread. ._.... ..,_... -.. .-,.

The Greeks have been using this ter- ritory as one of their main bases 0 oper- ations against the Turk Nati nalists. Their campaign having ended in a disaster the magnitude of which may not be fully realizedlfor some weeks, they are anxious to reach an agreement for the cessation of hostilities and have asked the powers to in- tervene. It isprobable that further ter- ritorial conccssions will be made to the Turks to bring about the peace that is need- ed if a "wider conflagration is to be avoided. But it is not likely that the Turks will be allowed to `occupy Smyrna.` If the powers agree to that they may aswell abandon all pretence of interference in Turkish affairs and once again acknowledge` that their `ty. takemcountless multitudes of their country- men who have been left to the mercy of the Turk- It is not improbable that the Greek forces may stand or. new lines.

In other. words, they are given immunity. The Free State party in any event has a majority, but there -is an evident desire `to give every'op_nortunit-_v for a meeting free and open. This seems to be the only pos- sible way `for such a body,to start on its ef- ` forts to govern after the turbulence and; violence that has marked the last few years.[ All that has been acconmlished by the ac-Q tion of the die-hards'i~. is to give a. bad impression among many of their well wish- ersgabroad and to. stir up additional bitter- ness at. home, if that were possible. _..-.-n u--av wivvlvill I "The Lancashire, cotton trade is under- 'going a revival and British experts take that asindicating a bigexpahsion in British trade generally. Even now the Lancashire trade is sending out as much cotton yarn to foreign countries as before the war.

It has been asserted oni behalf of the United States government! that the army will be used to protect alli who-want to resume work. and this again` has been the text of one of those arguments that are unending. The advisability of us- ing troops inlabor disputes may be arguable on the question of.its general principle. Local situations usually decide the issue. Even strike_1s--or the majority of them:-- would not want the property of their city ' or of themselves individually. to be dear! troyed or mutilated by out of hand mobs. But the real solution of strike troubles will be that which settles them before they start. so to speak.` There have been too many strikes of late in which the general public has been the real sufferer. No pan- acea has yet been invented. however, and] the expression of public opinion is not yet` strong. enough to force remedies operative; against both sides of controversies in whichi the people bear, most of the hardships.
