accordance with facts. Great Britain,
France, Italy and japan are, Of course,
represented in the League Council, but
Brazil, China and Spain have also each
voice. The direct interests of these nations
in the Silesan dispute are about akin to
those Of the United States, which has
through lack of selfish concern held aloof
from the controversy. Moreover, the repre-
sentations of Britain, Italy, France and
Japan in the League Council are in the
main unpolitical, and thus In vivid contrast
to conditions in the extra legal Supreme
Council.
In spite Of its critics and in spite OF the
reflections upon its authority cast by the
continued existence Of the powerful Supreme
Council the upper chamber Of the League
Of Nations has already displayed a capacity
III handling vexed questions of sovereignty
and frontiers. The settlement Of the Aland
Islands dispute Is TO its credit, as is the
organization Of what seems to be n work
able Government for the free city of Danzig
The ability Of the League of Nations to
inject an element Of justice and fair deal
ings into the silcsian quandary is indeed
much less in doubt than the willingness of
the Supreme Council to accept carefully
reasoned Judgment when 1t has been made.
That is the test which Is simply postponed
by turning over to the League Council the
question which most disturbs Continental
Europe.

IN DELAWARE COUNTY

TINE political fight in Delaware County,
L where newly cnfranchiScd women arc
organizing to put up iinis, fight against
the Mcclure ring, will be watched with in
terest by every one who wishes to make
true assessment of the newer factors in
American public life.
The Mcclure crowd has ruled arrogartly
Tor a good many years. Il has applied
TO public affairs in Chester the codes of the
old time saloon, and it has overwhelmed
every one who ever had the trmcrity to
oppose it. But the bosses in Chester were
less tactful even than tho bosses who reign
In Mr.. Wares City Committee. Women
voters were affrontcd when they asked the
leaders for frank statement of the aims
and policies that are to be expressed at
the coming elections.
Now the women of Delaware County are
being organized in an anti Mcclure move
ment. IL they hold together they will have
1t in. their power to change the whole
political complexion of Delaware County. If
they wavcr or loSc heart or interest the
Mcclure machnists will emerge from the
elections stronger and more arrogant than
they were before. SO the Delaware County
polls will provide not only n test of the
power of ring politicians to endure in these
new times. but test Of the temper and
consistency and organizing power of women
voters

HUGHES AT THE FARLEY

THE announced selection of Secretary
Hughes as chief of the American dele
CATION at the Disarmament Conference was
predestned. The Presidents reliance upon
this conspicuOusly dominating personality in
the Cabinet has been apparent in every
phase of the foreign relations of the United
) States since the advent Of the new Admin
istration.
The skill with which the numerous del
icacies of the parley prcliminaries have been
handled is representative of those forccful
and authoritative qualities to which Mr.
Hughes owes his distinction in the Nations
life. The Secretary Of State is on record
as a supporter of the League of Nations,
duly modified. The truculcnt doctrine mis-
called "AmeriCaniSm. the blind and narrow
hatred of anything suggesting co operation
with foreign Governments, has never marrcd
his conduct.
On the other hand, his firm contentious
for the rights of the United States in the
Yap situation and others has denoted n
mind richly equipped for sound reasoning
In defense of the Nation whose foreign af-
fairs are intrusted to his charge
1t will not be- easy to match the merits
of Mr.. Hughes in the other members Of the
delegation. His leadership is inevitable. 1t
is highly necessary, none the less, that his
associates should not be mere fgurchcads.
and II Washington rumOr is correct Mr..
Harding will cndeavOr to maintain an clc-
ment of balance in the commission.
No other names as yet have been dis
closed. 1t is more than likely, however,
that the Senate will not be ignored, nor
will the minority party. Senator Under
wood, whom the President is said to regard
highly, would be a fitting member of the
delegation. Philander c. Knox is unqucs-
tionabiy experienced.
In choosing his representatives Mr.. Hard
ing has guide in the mistakes of the past
Administration. As the only Senator who
ever became President it is virtually Ger
tain that he will consider the sensitiveness
0f the upper house. The Scnatc's feelings
may sometimes be foolish and unreasonable,
but they are facts which can only BE- dis
missed at the risk OF clogging progress.
Domestic politics should be reduced to a
minimum in the Disarmament Conference
2arndOxically enough, this can only be ac-
compished hv facing political realities.

PICKLES FOR THE WOMEN

MERCHANTS with an eye to business
A'A have been sending samples of pickles
to the headquarters of the Republican City
Committee, where the Republican Women S
Club of Pennsylvania is to hold q con-
vention tomorrow. They apparently think
there is an intimate connection between
pickles and women in politics. Whether
they are right will appear after the women
have been experimenting with a political
management n few months longer.
Senator Ware is to address the women.
This is appropriate, because Mrs. Archibald
n. Harmon, the head OF the club, is u
follower Of the Senator, She Is perfectly
willing that Mrs Altef1us and Mrs. War.
burton should be present, but she objects
TO having these women enter into any CON
ferences with the Mayor She thinks they
ought to be more loyal to the City Com
fhittee Of which they are honorary officers.
According to her theory, nll the members
OF the committee should go to Senator Ware
for guidance. This is an interesting theory,
doubtless indorscd by the Senator himself.
III 1t were universally adopted there would
be perfect political harmony in the CITY and
In the State.
But there are some men, and some women.
also, who do not agree to it. Consequently
the samples of pickles now awaiting the
inspection of the women at Eleventh and
Chestnut streets may have symbolic mean

Of the Ware leaders arc likely to make when
they have to swallow what Is coming to
them,

POLITICS AND TAXES

lDhESlDENT HANDING has decided
= not to let the opposition in Congress
get away with its charges that the proposed
revision in the internal revenue laws will
benefit only the rich.
He has made a statement In which he
says that the charge is unfounded but he
does not stop with generalizations. He
calls attention to the fact that Of the
$1,000 100000 to be raised by the laws
S1,SOO 600, 900 will come from the taxes on
the rich, and that the remainder Of $780,
OO0,OOO will come from the taxes on the
rest Of u.s. He explains that the repeal Of
the excess profits tax will encourage busi
ness and that the reduction of the surtaxes
on INCOMES above S50.Oe0 year will pro.
duce more revenue from large incomes than
the Government is now collecting with the
taxes rusning as high as 73 per cent. He
has the authority Of tax experts for this
statement
The President might have called atten.
ton to the notifications in the tax on
smaller incomes which the Ways and Means
Committee has agreed upon. These will
relieve every one with an income of $4,000
year and under, for they raise the amount
of the exempt income for married men from
the present figure of $1,000 to S25OO, and
they increase the additional exemption for
each child from 5000 to S4OO. Under this
arrangement n man with three children will
be exempt from taxation on an income of
$500
There are 27,3O4 900 families in the
country. Only $50, 900 of tlrcm have an
income in excess ,of $500. Tsc remaining
26.015,000 will be- exempt frour aax on their
incomes.
Under the circumstances the charge that
the Administration is relieving the rich and
doing nothing for the people of moderate
means cannot be sustained. Yet the op-
position is likely to continue to make it in
one form or another. If the Democrats are
not careful. however, they will find them
selves in an indcfdlsiblc position. The
country is demanding reduction in taxes.
The Republicans are preparing to reduce
them and the Democrats are at lacking their
plans. The Democrats can be .pckeyed into
voting against the tax bills uni hss they are
careful. and then the Republicans can go
before the country next year With record
of successful economy and can, arraign the
Democrats for their opposition to the tax
reduction measures.
The Republican leaders .arc-already lay
ing the foundation for n sui eccss1il campaign
next year and the opposition is playing into
their hands. Tho Preside pt's explanation
of the way the new taxes win relieve the
people of moderate means while keeping
heavy taxes on the rich marks oct the course
for the leaders in the congressional debates
to follow.

THE WOES OF THE THEATRES

T1EE theatrical managers and producers
l. Of the country, including a delegation
from Philad plphia, meet in New York TO-
day to di IcusS conditions which have
brought confusion and long array Of
embarrassmnnts into the field of popular
entertainment
Labor troubles, difficulties with unions.
both of mu Eicians and actors are declared
to be primary causes of managerial un-
easness. but important as these factors
may be. thPy fail fully to cover the case.
Popular belief that theatre prices are too,
high is wild Pspread.
This is cpuntercd by the undcnable fact
that costs 1T production are still mounting,
and that smOnstratiOn opens the question
of the pretrntiousness of plays and spec
taclcs. Tie public has perhaps come to
accept gor keousness and spl"ndor in stage
offerings nd, in some instances, expensive
casts as cCUnmonplacrs Of the theatre.
1t may 1cgitimatcly be asked, however,
whether a return to simplicity and con-
scQucntly lover admission charges would be
regarded with entire disfavor. The public
Is naturally less interested in the magnitude
Of thcatricp 81 Compnny's bills than in the
qualities of inspiration and intelligence that
make for attractive entertainments Mere
money exp ptnditurc Is futile without some
representation Of brains.
The curr mt meeting in New York Is the
first cOmpr FhcnSive one of the kind ever
held. The. managers unQucstionably are
cOntrndng with certain adverse conditions
which they are entitled to seek to remedy.
Errors on their own part are, however,
worthy of some consideration. A frank
survey of the whole subject might be to the
advantage of1the American stage.
