expenditures. it cannot restrict the
appropriations OF Congress. except by
agreement with other Governments IN
respect to preparations for war, or for
national defense as it is euphemis-
ticalIy termed. Mr.. Borah is ready to
deal with two nations in the matter
OF disarmament. but he has not yet
made sufficient progress to be willing
TO deal with all the nations. as Presi-
dent Wilson has proposed.
As for the munition-makers or the
Armament Trust. as the Senator from
Idaho calls it. no other man. with the
possible exception OF his colleague
Hiram Johnson Of California, has
done so much to strengthen and in
trench the Armament Trust as Will
liam E. Borah. He and his fellow
members OF the Battalion Of Death in
the United States Senate are its most
valuable assets. They are worth I'M
told millions Of dollars to it.
When the League of Nations was
created. there was common opinion
in regard to the necessity Of disarma-
ment. AS Lloyd George said, disarma-
ment would be the vital test Of the
League. Mr.. Borah and other ReDub-
Ifcan Senators prevented the ratifica-
ton OF the Treaty Of Versailles and
have kept the United States out of the
League. BY refusing to ratify the
treaty and by keeping the United
States out OF the League, the Senate
has unsettled everything. There is no
stability anywhere.
The Assembly OF the League has
made a more or less futile attempt
to get a programme of disarmament
under way. but it is blocked by the
United States. Japan refuses to con-
slider reduction of armament while
the United States continues to arm

The French say they can do nothing
because they have had to undertake
the responsibility Of assuring the full
fiIiment Of the treaty OF peace. The
guarantees that would enable France
70 disarrn, which would morally com
pei France to disara. have been with
held by the United States Senate.
Mr.. Borafl is exhorting the masses
Of the people TO demand disarmament,
but he refuses to permit the represen-
tatiyes of the United States to sit in a
League OF Nations in which they could
advocate disarmament as an inter-
national policy He denounces the
nlunition-makers, but he continues TO
play into their hands and aid them in
the game of capitalizing national fears
and national anzietfes He introduces
a resolution asking three Govern
Elents, but he helps to block univer-
sal agreement for lessening the mill
tary burden Of all the nations. His
doctrine Of isolation in respect to the
League is the doctrine Of the Arma-
ment Trust that he indicts.
The World has already been willing
to support any measure that promised
a reduction in expenditures for mill
tary purposes. 1t Is glad, therefore, to
support the Borah resolution as a step
in the right direction. But if Senator
Borah is sincere in his advocacy OF
the principle that underlies that reso-
luton he will begin by abandoning his
opposition to the Treaty of Versailles
and to the covenant of the League of
Nations. As long as he and his Repub-
liean colleagues insist that the United
States must shirk all the obligations
it incurred in the war. as long as they
deny that the United States is in any
way responsible for the peace of the
world, they viii convince nobody that
this country is an honest advocate of
dfssarmament.-Wo

Mr. Bcrah has introduced in the
senate = resolution requesting the
preslaent 70 enter into negotiations
with Great Britain and Japan with
view 70 reducing the naval pro-
nrammes Of the three countries to 50
Der cent. OF the present rate during
the next five years.
With the objects OF the Borah reso-
luton The World is wholly in sympa-
thy and it is in complete agreement
with the Senator from Idaho when he
says:
NV own opinion is that while the
sentiment among the masses is very
great in favor OF disarmament, the
same is not true OF Official life gener-
ally. I do not believe that any real
action win be brought about looking
20 general disarmament unless as the
result OF a tremendous movement
among the masses Of the people prae-
ticaIIy demanding it. They ought TO
demand it. 1t is the only means
whereby the nations can avoid break
ing under the crushing burden OF tax
alton imposed by growing ornaments.
The way the nations set TO work
after the armistice TO build up vast
military machines and ornaments Is
to me one OF the greatest crimes IN
the history Of civilization. There is
no way in the world to stop it except
By such a popular movement as have
spoken Of
We shall soon know whether the
Armament Trust is as strong as it
was before the war.
We congratulate Mr.. Borah on this
sudden surrender to reason and COM
mon snse. even though it is not an
unconditional surrender. The Senator
from Idaho has discovered that the
national isolation which he has been
preaching for two years is myth.
There is no isolation. As he himself
admits By implication in his resolu-
ton. the Government of the United
States cannot control even its own

MAKING THE CHARTER WORK

TN THE fierce white light now beating
i about the city charter, some Of its es-
pecially praiseworthy features are receiving
q more conspicuous consideration. Thomas
Raeburn White, who was chairman OF the
subcommittee Of the charter revision COM
mittee, says, for example, that the charter
does not protect the contract" of Philip
n. Johnson to draw up plans for the De-
partment Of Health. Mr.. White points out
that II Mr.. johnson has a valid contract
the charter cannot affect it in any way. On
the other hand. If Mr.. Johnson : contract is
invalid. then the charter provision that the
appointment of city architect shall not
affect existing contracts cannot possibly vail
date an invalid agreement.
Mr.. White. of course, Is raising the ques-
tion of the validity of the alleged contract
as being the only question at issue. 4 con
tract is a contract, charter or no charter.
As to the validity of this contract. the
suggested course is that City Solicitor Smyth
be directed by the Mayor 10 test the question
of legality in the courts. Certainly serious
doubts arise as to the power of the old
Councils to bind future City Councils to
safeguard Mr. Johnson's architectural fees,
particularly since n basic change has been
made in the legislative branch Of the gov
ernment.
Another feature Of the charter which ap-
pears to have been overlooked is that which
is aimed at Pradcating the mandamus evil.
Section 10 Of Article XVII apparently con
tains specific cure for this notorious abuse.
No money is TO be paid out Of funds re-
ceived from taxes levied by Council. or from
other funds under the control of Council,
unless a previous appropriation authorizes
the payment. This is the same as Stipuating
that mandamus will not be honored.
Here again the charter suggests a course
of action. a test Of the constitutionality of
this section OF the charter can be made by
the city solicitor. He can defend the city
controller in refusing to honor the next
mandamus from county Office or from
Judge Browns Municipal Court. The city
solicitor will have no difficulty in bringing
the question squarely before the courts.
Lawyers admit that they are not sure
this section of the charter will stand the
ultimate test. The only way to find out
whether or not this section is worth the
space it takes up is to press for a judicial
decision. An opinion in favor Of the charter
would destroy at one blow the growing use
of the mandamus as a quiet and easy way Of
raiding the city treasury.

WHO is WEARY?

THE men and women who compose the
l. committee for relief of the Near East
in this city did brave and admirable thing
when, in the face of many obstacles and dis
couragements and the seeming weariness of
people who have given endlessly TO all sorts
of war charities, they determined to appeal
again in behalf Of the people of Armenia.
In the news Armenia is only word In
reality Armenia is a nation lost in wilder
ness of misery. Men and women and chill
dren, without fault of their own, are endur-
ing a sort Of desolaton that almost shakes
normal faith in the sanity and efficiency of
the civilized order in Europe. What the
Near East relief committee asks now is only
old clothes, bundled and sent to one of the
school buildings or to any of the other sta
tions that will be opened on Wednesday.
Perhaps Americans have some reasons to
feel weary of giving and making sacrifices.
But we have no burdens that should not be
forgotten at the thought of a people who
have become the most sorrowful in the
whole world and who, more than any ma
ton in written history, are weary and heavy
laden.

U. s. BONDS GO UP

TWO sorts of people fill the world-the
l. wise and the otherwise. And the wise
are reading without any astonishment today
Of the sudden rebound Of Victory and Lib
erty Bonds. They knew the turn would
come, and they have been the buyers who
collected bonds which the unwise unloaded
when the government didn't do the impossi-
Bic thing and save these securities from
momentary decline for which they them
selves and no one else were responsible
The war bonds of the United States are
and have been the safest investments in the
world. They have always been actually
worth their face value and liberal interest.
Every orc who hurried to sell them helped
to drive down their sale value in the open
market. Individual investors and the big
trust companies have profited and will con-
tinue to profit by large purchases of securi-
ties which other people hurried to unload at
the FIRST fall of quoted prices. From this
on the price of the bonds will probably con
tinue upward-as every one familiar with
investment paper knew it would do before
long.
