PEACE NEGOTIATIONS.
Russo-Latvian peace ..cgotiations
are progressing favorably and at
least four points virtually have been
agreed upon, says an Associated
Press report from Moscow. They
are:
Recognition of Lettish independ
ence and the renunciation by Russia
of all claims of sovereignty in Lat
via.
The fixing of boundaries, subject
to a joint commission of delimita
tion, basing its decision on ethno
graphic and economic principles. In
the former Drissa district a plebis
cite shall be held.
Mutual engagements shall be tak
en to prohibit the presence in Rus
sian or Latvian territory of armed
forces inimical to either country, or
the recruiting and transportation of
troops or war materials by countries
at war with either power. Russia
and Latvia agree to forbid the
formation or presence in their re
spective countries of any groups or
organizations w’ith pretensions to or
designs against the government of
the other party to the treaty.
The state of war shall cease from
the date of the conclusion of the
treaty.
The Lettish delegation is not en
tirely in accord with the Russian
method proposed for holding the
plebiscite, which excludes the non
working elements, and demands ab
stention by both Russia and Latvia
from agitation or propaganda against
the existing governments.
Economic provisions of the treaty
will be referred to a joint commis-,
sion.
NO SUBSTITUTE FOR WORK.
There are some statements of
truth that cannot be improved upon
bust must be repeated over and over
again. These truths, old as hun
ger, familiar as cold, are well pot
up by the Supreme Council in its
appeal for the economic unity and
sanity of Europe, comments the New
York World.
The world cannot drop work five
years, burn up two hundred billion
dollars’ worth of property and maim
or slaughter millions of its strong
men, without creating deficits in
possessions, lack of comforts and
scarcity of goods for consumption.
Issuing hundreds of billions in paper
money and marking up prices do not
make the world richer by one pair
of shoes or one loaf of bread.
To nations the pressing need is
to thrown down “artificial economic
barriers,” dismiss armies, set sol
diers' at work and bravely begin the
gigantic task of curin; money in
less degree than Europe we have the
same need: to demobilize the acmy
of functionaries, cut down public
expenditure and limit credit infla
tion misused for gambling.
Men and women in Europe are
asked, as individuals, to accept “di
minished consumption and unselfish
denial.” Our own peace production
since 1914 has not kept pace with
the growth of population. We must
produce, or soon or late meet “di
mini h< d consumption” for lack of
goods to consume. Work, save, re
| build, restore. There is no other
|road to recovery.

Xenana. July 23, 1920.
I Editor Nenana News—Sir: Some
speculation is advanced as to how
the women shall behave now that
they have won in many countries
the right to the franchise. Judg
ing by the zeal and heroic efforts
spent in the struggle, and by the
race constructive programs eman
ating from the Woman’s World
Conference, there is much reason
to believe they shall jealously guard
this precious right and make good
use of same. Intelligently organ- j
ized with a definite aim in view, I
women’s entry into political affairs
may mark an important historical ^
event that in future should redound
greatly to their credit. May they;
fully understand their mission when
a time for action arrives lest it
may not be also their last as well
as first chance at the ballot-box,— !
for, lo! chronic reactionaries every
where are striving to gain the upper ,
hand and hurl civilization back to
the dark ages, making things soft
and safe for autocracy. According
to Bagehot, the historian, many
times in the history of mankind it
seemed that the people were ready
to take a momentous step forward
under conditions miraculously pre
pared. But when everything was i
ready, at the last moment the people
had looked back for one farewell
glance, and then never advanced.
Will the women listen to the voice
of history and not lose their chance;
keep their lamp of reason burning
: bright, and avoid the pitfalls of
political intrigue and chicanery of
.the male? Civilization under man’s
; domination has progressed slowly
and painfully—forward and back.
But with the advent of women in
administration, common folks take
heart and believe a clean, sane and
humane institution will result there
from. They picture the women
j (taking a birdseye view of all the
ungracious past), turn over the page
I of time’s ancient and barbaric his
tory, and usher in the new order
j emancipating humanity;—coming to
I find and heal the wounds inflicted
i in the past and reconstruct society,
j Out of the works of discord the
i women will build the temple of
concord. Sweet things sometimes
grow out .of corruption, and out of
I the enormous mass of political cor
^ruption now existing the tree of
I true democracy may rise, and by
I the tender care of women grow
strong and bear fruit.
Then it shall come to pass that
the brotherhood and sisterhood of
men and women shall be upon the
dear old world and love will rule.
