EXPLANATION NEEDED.
Senator Lodge in particular ?
the republican party in general hi
been coming in for criticism on
count of the adoption of the Fc
Power pact by the. present Disam
ment#Conference after rejecting 1
League of Nations covenant, it "1
inc stated bv some of the brethr
that Article 2 of the recent trej
negotiated by the four big powers
practically identical with the prov
ions of Article X of the League
Nations covenant which was stror
ly objected to by the republican n
jority in the United States Senat<
It has been stated that in reje
ing Article X of the League of N
tions covenant and then adopti
Article 2 of the recent treaty the i
publican party has proved unable
get away from Mr. Wilson's work
the Paris Conference, and that "W
son's idealism" still rules.
That all sounds pretty piausib
that is if the two articles contain t
same obligations in substance, a
we shall for the present assumfc t*
they do. *
So assuming, what will those w
have so severely criticised Senai
Lodge for first rejecting the "Wils
idealism" and then adopting it (as
is said) now say for Mr. Wilson, w
when his own child (in another dri
it is said) is brought to him and
refuses to own it? What shall th
say when Mr. Wilson not only 1
fuses to approve Article 2 of t
present treaty but advises his f
lowers in the senate to keep an op
mind, keep silent, and perhaps
the end oppose the very thing i
which Mr. Wilson is said to ha
fought to his death almost only
few months ago? What will they s
of Carter Glass, of Virginia, w
cannot take a drink of water wi1
out eeemg Wilson, when they km
he now opposes Article X (in oth
language only) when only a ft
months ago he was loudly demar
ing its adopt'on? What will th
say of the other democratic senatoi
followers of Wilson, who some litl
time ago were trying to put over A
tide X as the world's last hope
. salvation and who are now trying
deprive the world of that last hop
Mr. Lodge they say is only playii
the politician in first opposing ai
then approving the covenant. Wh
are Wilson and Glass and the re
doing in first approving and th
opposing the covenant?
All of which is said, of course, i
the assumption that Article 2 ai
Article X are identical practical
so far as the obligations imposed a
concerned. The Wilsonites said th
were; we "didn't. And we are willi:
noJy to say that there is one diffe

A
HIGHER LUMBER PRICES
PREDICTED FOR 1922
(Memphis Tenn. Dec. 16.?A run
away lumber ' market with high
prices and a serious shortage of the
product, was predicted for 1922 by
Charles S. Keith, former president
of the Southern Pine association,
at the convention of the organiza
tion here today. He declared the
price of lumber would probably in
crease $10 a thousand feet during
the year.
"During 1921 the nation has *ot
only consumed all of the lumber
manufactured Ibut has depleted
stocks on hand from 20 to 50 per
cent" said Mr. Keith. '-'We are
from 26 to 28 bililon - feet short
now of anticipated demand, an
amount about equal .to the total
production this year.
"In the face of tremendous build
ing activities reflected in the in
crease in building permits through
out the country, which we /believe
will require about 45,000,000,000
