THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE NOT REPUDIATORS H. W. Steed, editor of the London Times, in a speech before the Canadian club of New York, declared that the United States had lost credit throughout the world by "repudinating the Versailles treaty," and dishonoring the signature of its legal representative. There is no excuse for such a statement as this, coming from one of the most distinguished journalists of the United Kingdom. Such assertions can be inspired only by ill will toward the American government and American people, and can serve the purpose only of promoting discord. The people of the United States never signed the Versailles treaty through anyone authorized to represent them in the consummation of such a compact. The statesmen of Europe were not so ignorant of the provisions of the American constitution that they did not know President Wilson's total inability to contract a treaty obligation on behalf of the American government and people without the advice and consent of the American senate. The people of the United States are fully convinced of the wisdom of their action in declining responsibility for the Versailles treaty now that the errors, wrongs and even crimes of that pact have been made apparent through the chaos which the treaty has created in Europe. When Frank Vanderlip said the other day that the Versailles treaty was the worst document ever-struck off by the brain and purpose of man he characterized properly the treaty to which the American people refused their assent. As for the covenant of the league of nations, incorporated in the peace treaty, President Wilson had not the slightest shadow of authority for pledging the United States to such a world constitution. No official of the mayor's committee of the city of Los Angeles, in conjunction with the chamber of commerce, has requested all bodies to clear their positions through these bureaus and the city manager of San Jose has done likewise. The crucial months for the men out of work are January and February and those in authority in Los Angeles and San Jose have figured that it is poor policy for one group of public spirited men to interest themselves in creating work for the unemployed if men have to pay a fee for getting the work thus created. The other cities will probably follow the lead of Los Angeles and San Jose and make state employment offices in their localities the clearing houses for all employment work. In the meantime all employers are requested to get in touch with the nearest state employment office when in need of help of any kind. U. S. IS WORLD POWER It would be somewhat difficult to put a finger exactly upon the date and the event or policy that definitely launched the United States upon the sea of influence as a world power. The Monroe doctrine did not do it. Perhaps the interposition of this country in Hawaii was the beginning—somewhat tiny, in a way, but a real beginning in wielding of the nation's power and influence beyond its continental lines and away from the neighbor countries of Latin America. Then came the war with Spain and a fuller launching of this country into the wide waters of world affairs. That brought under America's protection and direction the Philippines, away over in the eastern hemisphere. Since then the United States government and the American people have been in process of readjustment in international relations and in re-casting the status of this nation toward nations and issues overseas. But the world war carried this na- RIGHT OF FARMERS TO A FARMER It is rather shocking to have the statement reported that 9,000,000 farmers raised on American land given year actually with more to the producers than chales would have been. It is the statement that bushels of wheat raised by farmers would bring money than 1,000,000,000 these are not exaggerated. In a world where there are millions who need food which they cannot get, tension is sure to indict them which makes it posi- In the main, the remotribution and marketing per encouragement shows the co-operative market.

When Frank Vanderlip said the other day that the Versailles treaty was the worst document ever struck off by the brain and purpose of man he characterized properly the treaty to which the American people refused their assent. As for the covenant of the league of nations, incorporated in the peace treaty, President Wilson had not the slightest shadow of authority for pledging the United States to such a world constitution. No official of the American government, under our national constitution, has the right to bind the American people to any scheme of super government. The diplomats assembled at Paris were not sufficiently unfamiliar with the terms of the American constitution to be uninformed of this fact. If they had been so ignorant, the round robin signed by a sufficient number of American senators to defeat any treaty, and published to the world in March, 1913, would have enlightened the members of the peace conference on that point. There is less excuse for the assumption that the American people acted in bad faith through their representative at Paris, when it is remembered that in the closing days of the campaign of 1818, President Wilson issued a public appeal to the American people to elect a Democratic congress as evidence that they were supporting him in his international plans. He declared that failure to elect a Democratic congress would constitute a repudiation of his leadership before the world. The American people promptly elected a Republican congress. The American people have done vastly more for the rest of the world than they have asked the rest of the world to do for them. The balance between the United States and the world in general is heavily on the credit side. The pretense that the American people have failed to meet their obligations during and since the war is one without justification, and extremely offensive to a people who poured out their blood and treasure under circumstances which might not have moved some of the nations that have since manifested a degree of gratitude, to enter a war which had entered its most serious phases. To rush in hot blood into war in mid-summer of 1914 was one thing; to go into it deliberately for causes our own president had theretofore declared insufficient to justify our participation in war, after the horrors of the struggle had been fully revealed, men another. The fight in the fear of Then came the war with Spain and a fuller launching of this country into the wide waters of world affairs. That brought under America's protection and direction the Philippines, away over in the eastern hemisphere. Since then the United States government and the American people have been in process of readjustment in international relations and in re-casting the status of this nation toward nations and issues overseas. But the world war carried this nation and people farther along in this world-wide current than any previous course or influence had done. The United States became a real world power. And this it is today. Its influence in the arms conference is masterly—and yet it is an influence exerted with the utmost grace and tact. No more could the United States be an isolated power, even though it strove to be. Destiny has shaped its course. It can and it should keep itself out of alliances, of political nature, with powers. But it is inevitable that, to perform its full duty in maintaining world peace, this country must co-operate with other countries through agreements or ententes. MAKE RAILROADS SAFER Railway accident figures for 1929, compiled by the interstate commerce commission, show how American railroads have wiped out their old, shameful record of slaughter. It is now ten years since the first serious reform effort was made, and "safety first" became a fanfilar motto. In this decade the number of passengers carried has increased 44 per cent, yet the actual number of passengers killed per year has dropped from 399 to 229. The percentage of fatalities, therefore, is almost cut in half. The record for employees shows similar progress. Meanwhile fatalities at railroad crossings have increased greatly. This points clearly to the automobile traffic as the disturbing factor. Nothing but the frequency and carelessness automobilists in crossing tracks has prevented the railroads from making all-round improvement. The comparison is inevitable. Automobile traffic must try just as hard to reform as railroad traffic has done. It should no longer be said, to the disgrace of motorists, that a citizen on the street is in more danger than a passenger on a train. THE FOREIGN DEBT He is justified in relying on transportation cost. Return for his labor, he occasion to appeal for payment and given assurance that shall not be in vain, we repeople of a production meet our national requirement against disaster. The base of the pyramid which rests upon it shrinking through the detention from farm to city eration we have been exposed or less concern about. Economists have warned men have deplored. We time that modern constructions more intimate control the movement, but it hardly on. Perhaps only give will correct it, but we do less drastic remedy.

The grain meant packing industries illustration and the attention is readily apparent aces in concentration as to retarding influence.

The problem may well best attention—From Prins's Message to Congress. CATHOLIC CHURCH TO BE STARTED Establishment of a Church at Orange by the Rt. Borough high school of FOUND MANY JOBS The public employment bureaus of California filled 11,057 positions during the month of November according to the report of the superintendent filed with Walter G. Mathewson, state labor commissioner, males comprising 8783 and females 2274 of this total. Los Angeles filled 5439, San Francisco 1666, Oakland 1364, Fresno 857, Sacramento 524, San Jose 659 and Stockton 648. In these seven cities the state has provided offices which are the rallying points for all those civic bodies interested in helping to relieve the unemployment situation during the coming winter months. THE FOREIGN DEBT It will not be long before the pending bill for the refunding of the foreign debt to this country will hold the boards at Washington and the secretary of the treasury will take up the negotiations with the debtor nations, subject to the limitations that congress throws about his actions. There should be no great difficulty in arriving at agreements that will be satisfactory both to the United States and to each of the debtor nations. Interest is now accruing on the certificates of indebtedness held in the treasury at the rate of 5 per cent. There would seem to be no good reason why this country should not reduce that rate to 4 1/2 per cent, which is the average rate paid on Liberty bonds. Worked out on that interest basis, very easy annual payments can be arranged through a long period of years, which eventually would extinguish the principal of the debt and take care of the interest from year to year. Who remembers the boy whose parents were considered liberal who gave him twenty-five cents a week for "spending money?" Automobiles no doubt are one great cause of unrest. It keeps the pedestrian so busy dodging them that he doesn't get chance to rest. Establishment of a Cathedral by the Rt. B.

RIGHT OF FARMERS TO A FAIR RETURN It is rather shocking to be told, and to have the statement strongly supported, that 9,000,000 bales of cotton raised on American plantations in a given year actually will be worth more to the producers than 13,000,000 bales would have been. Equally shocking is the statement that 700,000,000 bushels of wheat raised by American farmers would bring them more money than 1,000,000,000 bushels. Yet these are not exaggerated statements. In a world where there are tens of millions who need food and clothing, which they cannot get, such a condition is sure to indict the social system which makes it possible. In the main, the remedy lies in distribution and marketing. Every proper encouragement should be given to the co-operative marketing programs. These have proved very helpful to the co-operating communities in Europe. In Russia, the co-operative community has become a recognized bulwark of law and order and saved individualism from engulfment in social paralysis. Ultimately they will be accredited with the salvation of the Russian state. There is the appeal for this experiment. Why not try it? None challenges the right of the farmer to a larger share of the consumers' pay for his product; no one can dispute that we cannot live without the farmer. He is justified in rebelling against the transportation cost. Given a fair return for his labor, he will have less occasion to appeal for financial aid, and given assurance that his labors shall not be in vain, we reassure all the people of a production sufficient to meet our national requirements, and guard against disaster. The base of the pyramid of civilization which rests upon the soil is shrinking through the drifting of population from farm to city.

Given a fair return for his labor, he will have less occasion to appeal for financial aid, and given assurance that his labors shall not be in vain, we reassure all the people of a production sufficient to meet our national requirements, and guard against disaster. The base of the pyramid of civilization which rests upon the soil is shrinking through the drifting of population from farm to city. For a generation we have been expressing more or less concern about this tendency. Economists have warned and statemen have deplored. We thought for a time that modern conveniences and the more intimate contact would halt the movement, but it has gone steadily on. Perhaps only grim necessity will correct it, but we ought to find a less drastic remedy. The existing scheme of adjusting freight rates has been favoring the basing points, until industries are attracted to some centers and repelled from others. A great volume of uneconomic and wasteful transportation has attended, and the cost increased accordingly. The grain milling and meat packing industries afford ample illustration and the attending concentration is readily apparent. The menaces in concentration are not limited to the retarding influences on agriculture. Manifestly the conditions and terms of railway transportation ought not be permitted to increase the undesirable tendency. We have a just pride in our great cities, but we shall find a greater pride in the nation which has a larger distribution of its population into the country where comparatively self-sufficient smaller communities may blend agricultural and manufacturing interests in harmonious helpfulness and enhanced good fortune. Such a movement contemplates no destruction of things wrought, of investments made, or wealth involved. It only looks to a general policy of transportation, of distributed industry, and of highway construction, to encourage the spread of our population and restore the proper balance between city and country. The problem may well have your earnest attention—From President Harding's Message to Congress. CATHOLIC CHURCH TO BE STARTED AT ORANGE Establishment of a Catholic church at Orange by the Rt. Rev. John J. Cottrell, highman of the diocese and CATHOLIC CHURCH TO BE STARTED AT ORANGE Establishment of a Catholic church at Orange by the Rt. Rev. John J. Cantwell, bishop of the diocese, and possibility of the congregation of the Santa Ana Catholic church being decreased by the location of another church in Santa Ana, has caused abandonment of plans for the present for building a $100,000 church on the block purchased by the Santa Ana church a year or more ago. The site is bounded by Lacy, Wellington, Polo setta and Vance streets. That the plans have been dropped timeporarily at least became known when the Rev. Father H. Eummelen confirmed the announcement that the Rev. Father F. Buerbach had been assigned to Orange and was now working in the organization of a congregation. Father Eummelen announced that he would immediately take steps looking to enlargement of the present church, it being his intention to enlarge to an edifice with the same seating capacity provided in the plans drawn for the proposed new church. The seating capacity is now 400 and it will be increased to 700. The best way to retain friends is to give them temporary rests from your presence.
