where the blame belongs for the

ception, not Interpretations of the
articles to which II Is proposed
to attach them, but in effect vir-
tual qualifications Of those arti-
cles.
Article x Heart Of Covenant.
Any reservation which seeks to
deprive the league of nations of
the force of Article X cuts at the
very heart and life of the COW
enant itself. Any league of ma
tions which does not guarantee
as a matter of incontestable tight
the political independence and in
tegrity of each of It's members
might be hardly more than a fu-
tile scrap of paper. as Ineffective
in operation as the agreement be-
tween Belgium and Germany,
which the Germans violated in
1914. Article Y as written into
the treaty of Versailles repre-
sents the renunciation by Great
Britain and Japan, which before
the war had begun to find so
many interests in common in the
Pacific; by France: by Italy-by
all the great fighting powers of
the world.
MiIitaristic Ambitions Not Dead.
1t must not be forgotten. Sem
ator. that this Article constitutes
a renunciation of wrong ambition
on the part of powerful nations
with whom we were associated in
the war. 1t is by no means GER
tain that without this Article any
such renunciation will take place.
Militaristic ambitions and imper-
ialistic policies are by no means
dead even in the counsels of the
nations whom we must trust and
with whom we most desire to be
associated in the tasks of peace.
Throughout the sessions of the
conference in Paris 1t was evil
dent that a militaristic party. un-
der the most influential leader
ship. was seeking to gain ascend
ency in the counsels of France.
They were defeated then. but are
in control now. The chief argu-
ments advanced in Paris in sup
port of the Italian claims on the
Adriatic were strategic argu-
ments. that is to say. military ar
guments, which had at their back
the thought Of naval supremacy
in that sea For my own part. I
am as intolerant of imperialistic
designs on the part of other ma
tions as / was of such designs on
the part of Germany.
Choice Between Two Ideals.
The choice is between two ideals:
on the one hand, the ideal of de-
mocracy. which represents the
rights of free peopleA Aeverywhere
to govern themselves. and on the
other hand. the ideal of impcr-
ialism which seeks to dominate
by force and unjust power. an
ideal which is by no means dead
and which is earnestly held in
many quarters still. Every i'm
perialistic influence in Europe was
hostile to the embodiment of Ar
ticle Y in the Covenant of the
league of nations. and it's defeat
now would mark the complete
consummation of their efforts to
nullify the treaty. l hold the
doctrine of Article Y to be the
essence of Americanism. We can
not repudiate it or weaken it
without at the same time repu-
dating our own principles.
Would Perpetuate Old Order.

All Concerned Will Get
Hearing Investigation
To Be Exhaustive.

In commenting on the investiga-
tion of Washington schools which
will start this morning in the Sen
ate all five members of the COM
mittee yesterday expressed them
selves as being determined to get
to the bottom of the troubles which
are claimed to infest the Washing
ton school system.
Senator Sherman, of Illinois,
chairman of the probers, declared
the proceedings would be deliber-
ate and thorough.
Unfortunately" he said, "as in
every case where an attempt at pub
lie reforms are made, we shall have
many theorists running to us for
cure-alls for the ills of Washing
ton schools. An example of this Is
tie plan We have already heard for
the direct election of the school
board.
I'm the past thirty years I have
seen this method often tried. and
1t seldom worked in a satisfactory
way. After the first flush of re-
form. people lose interest in the
elections. and political methods and
partisan interests come in to cor
rupt the councils of the board"

Dissatisfaction is general, accord
ing to Senator Caper, of Kansas.
Every intelligent citizen of the
District of Columbia is dissatis-
fed with the present condition of
the Washington public schools" he
said. Tho investigation will begin
with the testimony of some of the
most important witnesses, the pres
tdent of the school board. DIR. Van
Schaick, and members of the board.
Stories of all sorts have come to
us, charges and counter-charges. I

Development of Pacific
Coast Docks and
Bases Urged.
BUILDING NEEDS GROW

\ strong naval reserve, much
larger and better trained than ex-
listed before the war. must always
be ma sintained by the United States.
Secretary Daniels told the House
Naval Affairs Committee yesterday.
He urged Congress to authorize
enrolment of $1,000 men in the
naval reserve.
Immediate wide development of
Pacific coast naval bases is imper-
ative for safeguarding United
States Pacific possessions and
Alaska. according to Daniels, who
emphasized that the Pacific fleet of
today is larger than the entire fleet
which sailed from San Francisco on
it's famous trip around the world
and tnat Pacific naval facilities
then were inadequate.
There are at the present but
three. completed dry docks on the
Pariflc coast capable of taking the
battlGships now building.-one at
Panama, one at Pearl Harbor and
a commercial dock in San Fran
cisco bay"
Secretary Daniels recommended
tions follow:
Guam to be developed as a fuel
Ing and repair station for vessels
bound to the Philippines.
Pearl Harbor to be developed as
a supply base. with facilities for
repair and routine upkeep.
A navy yard in San Francisco
TO be developed which %iu per-
nit of the docking and repair of
the capital ships now building.
The navy yard at Bremerton be
enlarged; this to become one of
the main repair and docking yards
for capital ships.
A base be established convenient
to the Pacific drill grounds of the
coast of Southern California.
Development of the submarine
base off San Diego.
I'VE should also have a subma-
rine and destroyer base at Port An
geles. Washington, and destroyer
base on the Columbia River" said
Daniels.
Il request authority to accept
from the city of Astoria, Greg, free
from any membranes and with
out cost to the government, a GER
tain tract of land located at Tongue
Point, Columbia River. for use as
submarine and destroyer base"
A fuelling and supply base will
eventually be needed in Alaska. the
Secfetary said.

May Consume Weeks.

tenn will be subjected to an X-ray
operation this morning when the
five Senators who have been appoint
ed a special committee to investigate

grievances, including inadequate
pay, official favoritism, overcrowded
class rooms and insufficient equip
ment to carry on their work. A
number of teachers, including many
who have now retired, have offered
to testify.
The Thurston-Van Schaick con-
troversy, which Senators admit
brought the row among Washington
school officials to a head, will be
thoroughly aired. Both Mr.. Thurs
ton and DR.. Van Schaick have pre-
pared statements which they will
submit 10 the committee. The ques-
ton of star chamber meetings of
the school board, at which ii is all

the favor of DR.. Van Schaick were
barred out as well as the public,
