The Value of Treaties

COLONEL. Roosevelt was characteristically
- talacious in his wholesale condemna-
ton last week of the arbitration treaties
which this country desires to conclude with
the other nations OF the world In opening
his New England campaign at Hartford our
lively eX-Prcsident permitted himself to say:
Those proposed arbitration treaties or
would be worth the paper on
which they were printed If i; became
the intc"es; OF any great military power
to violate them. i: 1t thought 1t could
violate them With impunity.
1t is OF course. Understandable that the
Colonel should seek to discrcdit the diplo-
matte efforts OF the present administration,
but III this sweeping assertion OF the useless
ness of treaties he overreaches himself.
While it is quite true that agreements be-
tween nations are broken. it is not at all
true that any civilized government violates
its solemn obligations except rs last resort
and with the feeling that il must justify its
conduct in the eyes of the world.
This have in the case of Ger
manys violation OF Belgiums neutrality.
The longest and most earnest statements
that have come from Berlin since the out
break of the have had TO do with Ger
many's presence in Belgium. Because of its
treaty Germany at the outset found il ncces-
sary to solemny Belgium and the
rest of the world that the sovereignty of the
ilttio Kingdom would not DC anGctcd and
that at the termination OF the war Belgium
would be fully compensated for any damage
she might suffer. To set herself right in
American eyes the German Chancellor
deemed il wise to send n message in which
he sought to explain that the violation was
forced Germany.
All this is not much bearing upon the
inviolabiity of treaties hut it demonstrates
al least. that treaties are worth good deal
more than the paper on which they were
printed.
compact between nations is a step in
the right direction. Our arbitration treaties
are worth while II only for the fact that
they set down the procedure that is 10 he
followed when this country differs from any
other with which II has an agreement of
this sort. If any government refused to per-
nit the provisions of the treaty to operate
when need for them arose. that government
would pay the price Of being the aggrcssor
in all neutral eyes, and see to-day tina,
that price is considered very heavy one
else would not hear any protestations
from Germany. Treaties are. and doubt less

membcrcd that the United States which has

Women TO Parade arnins, W,r


IF is expected that on August Goth several
thousand women clad in mourning will
parade through the streets OF New York as
protest against the war. The big city of
late years has seen an interesting rccrudcs-
cence OF professions usually for political
purposes. hut il is not likely that it has ever
witnessed one of such utter futility as tho
one now being organized by the women
II there were any desire in this country 10
participate in the European conflict such
protest might have an excuse. even if IL did
not serve any purpose The women do moi
need TO parade to show that they do not
approve OF war, any more than men of
like way of thinking need to. The impcnd-
ing parade was engineered by some OF tho
leaders in the womcnS suffrage movement

have nothing to do with il. on the ground

LEWIS TO PRESS PHONE BILL

Representative David J. Lewis has de-
cided to make hard fight during the short
session Of Congress for the passage Of his
bill providing for the Government to take
over the telephones. He will likely have
the moral support of Postmaster General
Burleson, who, it is understood. will again
recommend such action by Congress in his
coming annual report.
Mr.. Lewis will employ the same parlia-
mentary tactics he successfully used in the
parcel post legislation. He will make a
series Of speeches explaining in detail the
proposed plan for taking over the telephone
system, and when he thinks Congress is
informed on the problem he will make an
effort to tack the bill on to the Postoffice
Appropriation bill as a rider" This was
the way he finally secured the passage Of
the Parcel Post act.
The Maryland Congressman and men
who are cooperating with him on the
telephone legislation believe the time is
ripe for making the fight in Congress.
They anticipate that favorable report on
the measure can be secured from the
House Committee on Postoffices and Post
Roads. II this is done no serious trouble
is expected in getting the House to tack
the bill on the PostOffice Appropriations
bill when il passes the lower branch.

THE NEXT CONGRESS.

win only lew days remaining before
Congress reassembles next Monday, one
important fact has become clear to those
who are familiar with the trend of affairs
at the Capitol; that is that President Viii
son and the Administration leaders will
have to exert themselves vigorously to con-
clude their program by March 4. so as to
prevent another extraordinary session.
Among the measures which Senator Kern
said he thought might be taken up by the
Senate were the so-called conservation
bills Of the Administration, the Philippine
bills and the Government ship purchase
bill. Every one of these measures has
fight in it in the Senate, but Senator Kern
said that he hoped they could be disposed
of during the short session. He insisted
that the appropriation bills would be given
the right of way on every occasion, so as
to make it sure that Congress could CON-
plete its labors next March.
Senator Kern said he thought there would
be unusual interest in the Army and Navy
appropriation bills at the coming session
in view OF the war in Europe.
Il suppose that strong effort will be
made to increase the military appropria-
tons Of the country" he added, but do
not believe that Congress will be stampeded
into appropriating very much larger sums
for the army and navy than it has in past
years.
in the first place, imagine that the
countries now at war will not be in shape
to undertake much additional fighting for
some time to come. and the United States
should have breathing spell in conse-
quence in the matter of armament"
He said that he believed that special at
tention would be given in the army and
navy appropriations to aeroplanes and
dirigibles, armored automobiles and to
submarines. which have done such service
in the war in Europe
Among the bills of lesser importance
which are pending in the House and Sem
ate are the following:
To regulate the immigration of aliens
amend the act relating to the postal saw
ing system promote the welfare of Ameri-
can seamen; regulate the control of water
power; authorize exploitation of coal oil and
gas lands; amend the act for the preven-
ton of collision on inland waters pro-
