RESPONSIBILITY Is OURS.

Argentinas action IN withdrawing from
the League Assembly because certain far
reaching amendments proposed by her
representatives were refused immediate
recognition, and the proposition offered
by the Canadian delegation to strike out
Article 10 Of the Covenant do not justify
Senator Knox's comment that the ''inevlt-
able disinteqation OF the League has
begun Both incidents indicate wide
differences of opinion on important points,
but there is nothing to show that such
deadlock has been reached as presages
dissolution II has ben recognized from
the beginning that the Covenant was not
perfect and finished product. The fact
that it was likely to be amended and that
it could be amended has been all along
one of the arguments in favor OF its accept
ance. That decided conflicts of opinion
should arise as TO some of its provisions at
this first meeting Is not at all astonishing.
1t would have been amazing, indeed, ii
there had been no effort TO amend, and il
there had been unanimity of view as to
the particulars in which the Covenant
should be modified.
There is, in point Of fact, no objection
to the discussion of amendments. The
objection that has been raised is merely
as To the expediency of considering or
adopting them at this time The ma
jority in the Assembly does not wish to
take any action that will offend the
United States, or that may tend to pre-
vent this country from entering the
League The predominant purpose is to
prevent disintegration by postponing
questions that may provoke dangerous
divisions, and to make no fundamental
changes until our attitude is known.
Argentina is not likely to derive herself
permanently of the bene Is of the League,
simply because her amendments are not
given the right Of way at the present meet
ing Of the Assembly.
What the situation at Geneva does en-
phasize is the Importance of speedy action
on our part. The whole world is waiting
for us TO speak. sun

The mistaken policy" was that party =
policy of reprcssivc taxation on foreign
trade, prohibitivc tariff costs on iron and

Arqentina's Retirement.

Theannomcement of the retirement Of
Argentina from the League of Nations was
hailed with shout of Joy by partisan
opponents of the League in this country II
was accepted as positive indication that
the League was falling to pieces, or that it
would resolve itself into an entirely
European body. with no representatives
from nations on this side Of the Atlantic
Ocean. And great was the partisan JOY
But this deliTium did not Last long.
Swctly came the news that Argentina
was alone ~ this move, and also was not
sincere. 1t is stated her representatives
would like to be asked TO return, but that
the other nations are not disposed to make
the request.
ArgentiEas action was a move IN the
interest Of Germany, designed, no doubt,
TO influence the League to extend leniency
to the latter country During the war the
sympathies Of Argentina for the cause Of
Germany were in continual evidence But
now it is seen that Argentina stands alone
at Geneva as Germanys friend. Even
Greece, although her people have invited
the return Of the Kin & whom they deposed
for his open sympathy with Germany
during the war, shows no disposition Of
JOIN ing Argentina in retiring frcm the
League

ConGre0a Amin In 4ceaion.

CnWes rcasscmbled in Washington,
yesterday, and the people may a. we'll pre-
pars themselves for long inniotion, for
that 10 what sessions Of Congress have
become, IN 4 large part, during recent
years. The present session will mark the
ending Of tho sixty-sixth Congress, At
noon on March next, but tho Sixty
seventh Congress will be called in special
session within two weeks thereafter, and
it will be fortunate for tho people IL IL
allows even a breathing spell before the
date Of its assembling in regular session, a
year hence. There was time, not many
years ago, when the special session of n
new Congress was so prolonged that there
WAS only Constructive recess" of barely
second between il, end and the begin
ming of the regular session, and that "con-
structive recess" merely a subterfuge nd
vanced for the purpose of enabling the
members to claim an additional allow
ance for mileage.
While the closing session Of the Sixty
sixth Congress may prove highly interest
ing, by reason Of partisan intrigue and the
very narrow margin of Republican con-
troll OF the Senate, IL promises to be any
thing but benefit 10 the people. Chief
attention will be given only TO passing ap-
preparation measures, and this work may
be impaired to certain extent, in order
10 do nothing that would even appear to
reflect credit upon the outgoing Dem
ocrntic administration. II is almost Ger

necessary and oncrcus war taxation, as the
Republican majority would consider it
crime 70 have such benefit extended TO
the people while a single shred of the Dem
ocratic administration remained in power
at Washington Nor is IL assured that the
next Congress, with its large Republican
in each branch, Will do anything
perccptible in thi, direction.
SO the coming sessions Of Congress are
not expected TO produce any inspiring
spectacles. Certainly there will be no evi-

MORALITY IN BUSINESS.

Governor Coolidge in an address IN Nfw

emphasis upon ore phase Of the BUSINESS
life Of today that is receiving the serious
atteut ution of sober-minded folk who are
old-fashiored enough 20 cherish the behef
that morality i still the basis Of perrna-
ment success. That phase has TO do with
the gradual weakening Of public faith IN
what ia kown az the "sancity Of contracts,

men imagine that they can with lmpunlty

The most important piece OF domestic

with the reorganization of the admlnistra-

hind him bill providing for the abolition

Department of Public Works and the
Department of Public Welfare, and gen
eral reorganization Of the other depart

fic redistribution and simplificatlon OF adj
ministrative agencies That are desired. In
particular it brings together under the
new Department of Public Welfare an
ill-sssorted group of bureaus, which makes
the new department as miscellaneous MS IS

is clearly the action that should be takefi.
The budget system, owing To the pro,

receive the final touches. We repeat our
expression of the hope that 1t VIII be
formed as an agency outside OF the depart
ment rather than be connected with the
Treasury. But whatever Congress ooes
