If the report which comes trmn Klg.-i be acrurat, the Russian si viet representative who is acUu in behalf of the starving I'.foi'lc of that dist reaped ountry is placing tool.sh and a;rotant obstacles in the way of relief from the t'nited States. It would K-em that Maxim Litvincff believts that b.gears should be choosers and ttyit Russia wilt not accept, the bounty of this country uuirss it is pivt-n ia the way he prescribes. It does not appear that the American rHiff administration U ejecting unusual condKn us iu its determination to see that the food goes to the hungrv. and not to irresponsible 1 lshev ists wtu have shown their incapacity for governmental administration by confiwatinj? not only the grain of the peasants, . but also their seed corn and wheat, therein bringing on the dreadful conditions which prevail. The wellknown character of the bolshevists should muk it imperative to impose stricter conditio ns, in order that the purpose of the relief effort? may be arcomp!isheL indeed, a Washington dispatch, relative to the situation at Riga, intimates th.it the conditions laid down by the American relief administration will not be varied at the behest of Lltvinoff or of those over him.

There should be no American relief if food cannot be distributed in the American wav.

108 are to ue achieved tnrough coutiuerailon and consultation between the departments concerned while negotiations ar- pending. President Wilson committed a grave error in utterly Ignoring te senate when he undertoo k to commit the country to the German peace treaty to which he subscribed. President Harding adopts the wut course winch reasonably tua be expected to result in agreements, if any arc made in the forthcoming confernece, which the senate can aanct ion. It is expected that another henatcr will be chosen to sit with Metisth. Hughes and Ixjdge. There are predictions that Senator I'nderwood. leader of the minority, will be favored by the prcplden'. Selection i f the Alabaman would be appropriate and in keeping with the republican ideal of excluding pat lidauship liom foreign affairs.

SUPPLY AND DEMAND. The contention of Governor Stiong, of the New York federal reserve bunk, thai it is not the business if the govei-nnn nt financial institutions 10 regulate prices, but to rxercise supervision over credits, la a sound position. This banker was testifying before t Joint congressional coinmissk n, investigating the Industrial and financial situation, and he gave it as his opinion that the fanners have suffered moat in the recent price collapse, and resumption of prosperity for them 'depends on reduction of their retail costt. and lowered wages." Governor Strt ng explained his views of the toppling of the structure of advancing prices. Large numbers of coueumers found it impossible it; obtain increases in their incomes? and were compelled, therefore, to tease buying. It was th cessation of purchases by men and women whoae incomes did not go up. when the cost of living kept attaining higher altitudes which brougtit about th decline. It is really the law of supply and demand which operates in the long run.

HARDING'S WISE SELECTIONS. Fresident Harding's selection of Senator Henry Cabot Lodge as a member of the American delegation to the disarmament, conference was expected by people, familiar with the president's practical devotion to principle. There has been not a little chortling among certain critics of the administration who thought they had discovered sign? warranting a conclusion that the Massachusetts senator was to be enubbed in this connection. Hut it was foregone that there would be senatorial representation on the American delegation and the logical thing was to invite the chairman of the foreign relations committee to fit in the conference. There are othT senator?, members of that committee, notably well equipped by learning and experience to serve the nation in this important matter, but there will be no dissatisfaction on the part of any of them that the honor, which will entail immense labor, is to go to Mr. IOdge. 'I he republican conception has been that there fhould be no partisanship in the consideration of foreign relations and that responsibility for them being divided between the executive ami the senate, the most satisfactory results In the negotiation of freat-

CRITICISM IS INVITED, F'ostmaster General Hays has taken a very practical method ( f obtaining fcuggestions as tu the conduct of the postofiicc department. He has Issued an order directing all postmasters throughout the country to "clip from all newspapers or periodicals" published In their respective jurisdictions and printed In the Lnglish language all comment, favorable or unfavorable, and all suggestions or other matter referring directly or indirectly to the postofnee department Including editorial articles. Citizens alwajs have been exceedingly free with their es tticisrnn of the efficiency of the postal service, and especially so Jn the last eight years, but Mr. Hurleon could never be brought to perceive that an Improvement was possible. He took the placid ground that Ms department was functioning with admirable precision and expressed himself to that effect on one or two occasions when palpable deficiencies were pointed out. Mr. Hay is "particularly anxioua to have all constructive criticism called to th department's attention," but Mr. iiurleson always discouraged criticism, constructive or otherw ise. Mr. Hay is a muoh-broaded-minded man than people generally have given him credit for. He is farsighted and resourceful, as well as courageous and optimistic. Note his address recently before the K larians at Washington, where he was the chief speaker: "Let's have less of 'thou shalt not' and more of 'come on' and 'let's go ' There's a let of business that really is sick, still staggering with the shell shock of war and the debauch )f extravagance. What we need is the common sense of murage and confidence. There i the greatest era of expansion and prosperity ahead the world has ever seen. Kveryoce knows this and the only question Is when it will start Well, it s time to so out and meet It.
