THE TREATY REPORT
Every true American, every lover of
humanity, will read with feelings not
unmingled with regret the report sub
mitted to the senate yesterday. Not
necessarily in condemnation of the
distinguished men who after long
deliberation have rendered this ver
dict on the peace treaty and League
of Nations covenant, but that they
should have interpreted their sense
of duty so at variance with the wishes
of the people of the United States
and of the whole v'orld. It would
be untrue to say that their action w7as
dictated by other than the highest
motives of patriotism, as they view
it. The disappointment will be occa
sioned by he fact that the sense of
duty of these statesmen could not
square itself with the combined wis
dom of the administrations of this
and other countries interested.
No document ever drawn up by hu
man hands probably ever w7as satis
factory to all whom it would affect.
Treaties, like all legislation, are mat
ters of compromise. And it would
seem that however the report of the
committee may be regarded, that sec
tion which proclaims defiance to the
rest of the world and declares that
no League of Nations can be accom
plished without the sanction of the
United States strikes a jangling note
in the grave and awful importance of
the deliberations.
It is to be hoped that wisdom will
prevail, and that the senate of the
United States will not persist in an
uncompromising attitude which spells
disaster to all peoples concerned. It
would be unfortunate indeed were
conclusion of peace retarded by the
necessity of again referring the treaty
to the conference.
The continued peace and prosperity
oi the world is worth striving for.
Ol course there may be no relation
between the facts that Chicago gave
the notorious 1 hompson a big major
ity for mayor, and that the same cityr
made a noisy demonstration in honor
of the opponents of the League of
Nations. But it is significant.
Suppose that each of (he nations
which has signed the peace treaty,
by their delegates, were to insist
upon two score and more amendments
or reservations, how long would it
take a peace conference to patch up
a peace? And what would it mean
after it had been changed to suit all?
NO EVIDENCE FOUND
BY JUNEAU COMMITTEE
SHOWING PROFITEERING
After completing its investigations,
• the committee appointed by P. R.
Bradley, federal food administra
tor, to secure information relative
to charges of profiteering by dealers
in necessary commodities at Juneau,
have reported that they found no
evidence of profiteering on the part
of dealers.
Following is the report they have
prepared to make to Mr. Bradley:
“We, your committee appointed to
secure information relative to the
charge of profiteering by dealers in
necessary commodities in Juneau and
vicinity, have to report that upon or
ganization of the committee, sub
committees were appointed to make
investigations into the prices of the
following commodities:
“1. Groceries, drygoods and wear
ing apparel.
“2. Coal, oil, hardware and build
ing material.
“3. Meats.
“Each sub-committee made its in
vestigation in its own way but each
advertised and held a public hearing.
Investigation extended over a period
\
of two weeks and was as thorough
as our opportunity would permit. We
failed to find any evidence of profit
eering or of dealers making more
than a fair margin of profit.
“Our duties having been completed,
we ask that we be discharged.”
The report is signed by B. M. Beh
rends, P. W. Hebert and E. M. Polley.

WOMAN’S STATEMENT
WILL HELP CORDOVA
“I hated cooking, because whatever
I ate gave me sour stomach and a
bloated feeling. I drank hot water
and olive oil by the gallon. Nothing
helped until 1 tried simple buckthorn
bark, glycerine, etc., as mixed in Ad
ler-i-ka.” Because it flushes the EN
TIRE bowel tract completely Adler-i
ka relieves ANY CASE sour stomach,
gas or constipation and prevents Ap
pendicitis. The INSTANT action is
surprising. Northern Drug Company
