are idealistic reasons why the league was
planned, but the practical argument was
by far the chief one in it's favor. It is
the enforcement agent of the treaty. 1t
is the formula upon which primal accord
was necessary before any progress could
be made upon the treaty.
Senator Knox proposes to divorce the
covenant from the pact with Germany.
Should this be accomplished the treaty
would be just as effectually wrecked as
though Senator Borah should put through
his policy of disowuing en- bloc every
thing which was accomplished in Paris.
The treaty without the league will be
like the ingredients of dinner without
cook.
Only two interpretations Of the Knox
maneuvcr are possible. 1t is either
deliberately mischevous or unconscicusly

BROAD STREET MoToRBUssEs

THERE can be little doubt that well
managed autobus lines on Broad
street and on the Parkway would help to
solve some aspects of the transporta-
tion problem. In petitioning the Public
Service Commission to grant certificate
of public convenience to his sal,
Russell Thayer speaks for an old idea,
but good one, none the less. Anything
that viii relieve even a small part of
the congestion Of north and south traffic
in this city is to be welcomed.
IF the argument that Bread street is
already overcrowded is advanced. there
Is always the example of Fifth avenue,
where bus line is successfully opcr-
ated among even more adverse conditions.
Moreover, there should be some way of
riding to destinations on Broad street
without being compelled to walk block
either from the east or the west.
Few objections in principle can be
offered to the Parkway line. The Fair
mount entrance is rather meagerly served
BY trolleys and all the routes are indi-
rect. On the wide thoroughfare, which
despite much traffic is not yet really
iammed the trip from the center of town
to the great municipal recreation area
could be made by notorious in from five
to ten minutes.
The character of the franchise which
the interests represented by M Thayer
desire cannot be SO readily appraised.
Philadelphia has had bitter experience
with the financial aspects and obliga-
tions of transit affairs. No charter
should be granted without expert exam
ination of the manifold possibilities
involved.
The general idea of notorious relief is
excellent. 1t now devolves upon both
the promoters and the city to devise some
relationship which will be financially
sound and practically helpful.
Much as we need this trackless tran
sit, it is best to go slow in the matter
and do it right, if it is to be done at all.

MUSEUM, MOI MAusoLEuM

TINE somewhat prevalent impression
: that museums are chiefly graveyards
Of erudition is untenabe in the case of
the popular institution maintained by the
University of Pennsylvania across the
way from Franklin Field.
More persons attended the University
Museum within the last year than at any
similar period in its history. It's budget
is stimulating and cheerful. There is no
debt. During the twelve months, addi-
tional collections valued at mere than
100000 have been housed in the pic
tur1sque structure. Rare Egyptian treas
ures, gathered by the Eckley B. Coke,
Jr., expedition, are now awaiting ship
rnent at Cairo. All this is All admirable
record of achievement.
A picture gallery which few enter, y
rnausoleum of learning where the foot
falls of strangers are seldom heard can
: be maintained in any community by the
mere whim of a millionaire And so,
although the contributions to the Uni
versity's institution are needful and have
been generous, the real index of its vital
ity is its appeal to the ordinary citizen.
The more the University Museum,
Memorial Hall and similar enterprises
in the city are attended, the more re-
assurance is given that our culture is
being implanted on a solid basis.

PROBE THE PENlTEMTlARY

A SEARCHING and impartial investi-
a cation at the Eastern Pcntcntiary
Is necessary in justice to the administra-
tion Of that institution and to the
inmates
Just what such probe would reveal
1t is not easy to say, But it is pretty
safe to assume that it would hurry the
removal of the state prison from the
city TO the great isolated tract already
marked out at Bellefonte for the estab-
lishment of modern penal institution, in
which the Eastern and Western peniten-
tiaries arc some day to be merged. There
are better uses for the site on Farmount
avenue.
Governor Sproul should provide for
thorough airing Of the 'pen." And he
should net delay any longer.

THE KNOX MANEUVER

If THE league covenant is detached
from the peace treaty, there will be
no trusteeship for the Sarre basin and
the machinery for fixing the boundaries
Of that region will break down. There
will be no protection for the free city Of
Danzig. The status of the former Ger
man colonies will be wholly unsettled,
for without the league there can be no
mandatory system. There will be no
safeguards for racial minorities in coun-
tries Of mixed ethnography. 1t was,
moreover, impossible to decree certain
frontiers without the solvent of the
league

HENRY NJ. ROBINSON, who is tn

HENRY NJ. ROBINSON, who is the
Ia solitary representative of the public
interest in the commission of three which
will have two votes against his one in
every emergency, must have read that
passage in Mr.. Wilson'S letter with min
glcd feelings.
70 guard at every point the public in
terest is "a large task for one man under
any circumstances. To guard at every
point the public interest in a contest of
mind and will with angry union men and
angrier coal producers in conferences
called to settle finally the biggest, the
most complicated and the most painful
industrial controversy in our history
would require superhuman wisdom and
superhuman strength,
1t is true that decisions of the coal COM
mission will be considered binding only
when they are unanimous. But we know
how unanimty of opinion is brought
about in juries. There is a point at
which the most determined human re-
sstance breaks down in sheer exhaustion
The soft-coal operators and the miners
unions, worlds apart as they are most of
the time, are united in one aim. They
want more. They do not particularly
care where that more comes from. They
are experts in controversy, past masters
in the theory of price and wage scales.
A reading of the statement just issued
by the operators themselves as a supple
ment to the Presidents letter makes it
clear that though they have compromised
they are by no means convinced that
their rights have been respected.
The miners are no less resolute in the
apparent intention to get the most out
of crisis that is not yet passed.
Between these two powerful groups
and the public is Mr.. Robinson. He is
solitary and alone. We can only wish
him well and hope for the best.
The public has most at stake in this
instance. Why it should not have major
representation on the commission it is
hard to say.
When It was announced from Wash
ington that the coal strike had been ad-
justed and that production would be re-
sumed while a commission studied the
industry it was supposed that the truth
about wages, prices, living conditions,
pooling agreements, methods of distribu-
ton and the like would be fully revealed
for the intelligent scrutiny of the people
who pay the bills.
A commission capable of that sort of
intensive survey would have to have
more than three members. 1t would have
to include transportation men, railway
men, engineers-all of them impartial. II
would have to be organized, as the Roose,
welt commission was organized, with g
majority opinion representative of the
human and social factors in the case.
As it is the coal miners and the oper,
ators are again to be permitted to settle
their affairs in the dark. The public viii
be in the attitude of a helpless spectator
Whatever additional millions the public
has to pay in the future will be the price
of the governments failure to go below
the surface of the coal question and tC
insist upon more efficient working rela
tionships and better general order OF
mining and distribution.
