The American delegation selected
Basil Miles as its secretary, cOnsid-
cred and approved the physical ar
rangements for the conference, and
then took up the matter of publicity
for the big meeting. The members
explained to the anxious representa-
tiveS Of the press that this Is ques-
tion for the conference to determine,
but that they would place no obstacle
in the way of the fullest publicity pos
sible consistent with the expedition
of the conferences business
Hundreds of idealists have written
to President Harding, under the i'm
preston that the conference is ex-
pected to accomplish the complete dis
armament of the world. In reply to
one of them, the President has under
taken to dispel the illusion. In it he
says, as he has said before, that it
Is erroneous even to suggest that the
conference can go so far as to at
tempt universal disarmament, and
that IF we can get a reasonable lmi-
tation we shall think that great things
have been accomplished" Continuing
he says:
''By reasonable limitation I mean
something practicable that there Is
chance to accomplish, rather than an
ideal that there would be no chance to
realize. 1t is necessary to deal with
actualities; to do the best possible.
Universal disarmament would be be-
yond hope of realization; even its de-
STABILITY at this time might well be
questioned Thousands of years of his
tory recording the wars and contro-
versies of mankind suggest that hu-
man nature would require revolution
ary reorganization to make universal
disarmament possible. A consideration
of the present state Of the world must,
1 think, enforce the conclusion that
this is not hopeful time TO undertake
that kind of revolution. To
undertake the impossible and fail
might leave our last state worse than
our first The attitude of the nations
warrants confidence that we will not
fail, but rather that substantial re-
suits will be accomplished, calculated
to lessen the armament burden and to
reduce the danger of armed conflict"

King Alexander of Servia is the sub.
ject of a lot Of international gossip
these days. For weeks, since the
death Of old King Peter, he has de-
layed his going 70 Belgrade to assume
the crown of Jugo-SlavIa, and the ex.
plantations Of this delay have not been
at all satisfactory. One day last week
1t was reported in Paris, where Alex
ander is sojourning, that he had re-
nounced the throne, preferring the
pleasures Of the French capital to the
perils of being king in his own land.
Next day this story was fatty denied
by the Jugo-Slav legation In Par
is. One of the rumors afoat Is that
the young monarch is enamored of
a French girl who would not be ac-
ceptable as queen.

WashingtOn.-Federal action in con-
nection with the threatened railroad
ences brought about by President
Harding, between the Interstate Com
merce Commission and the public rep
resentatives on the railway labor
board. Consideration of the major
problem presented by a prospective
paralysis of the carrier system, with
winter near, has been resumed by the
two government agencies, which have
in charge practically complete regula-
tion of railroad affairs
Members of the conference main
tanned silence as to the basis on which
the problem would be discussed, leav-
ing as the only hint the White House
statement that President Harding had
deemed it necessary to bring together
the commission and public members of
the boards.
The impression given was that, hav
ing turned the matter over to the agen-
cies established by law to handle it.
President Harding would await the
outcome of the conferences.
In labor circles, however, the expec-
tatiOn was expressed that the legal
branch of the government would be
utilized.
Il presume that the next thing will
be the Injunction" President M. II.
Johnston of the International Associ-
alton of Machinists remarked.
He did not give the basis for his
expectation and there were no indica-
tiOns from other sources that govern
ment officials were preparing to APP
peal to the courts.
In view of the statement of recOg-
nized leaders of the railroad unions
that no special consideration would
be shown mail trains, official Wash
ington looked to the POstoffice De-
partment for the first defensive"

II the council of the League of Ma
tions has decided on the division of
Upper Silesia between Germany and
Poland on the lines reported in dis
patches from Europe, the reactionary
elements In Germany will be given a
fine chance to regain some of their
lost power. Though the reported So
luton of the problem is compromise,
and gives Germany a considerable
share Of the manufacturing region of
Upper Sllesia, including the districts
of Gleiwitz, Hindenburg and part of
Beuthen, the Germans are highly dis
pleased with the decision. The mon
archie press is bowling for revenge,
and the radicals and conservatives unite
In denouncing the partition as "crim-
inal act" The almost immediate re-
suit is likely to be the resignation of
the cabinet, and if Chancellor Wirth
is thus forced out, it is most probable
that Doctor Streseman will come into
power as his successor. He, as has
been said before In these columns, Is
at heart a reactionary, and is bitter
against the entente allies and the
United States. Meanwhile, according
to rumors, certain Of the Silesian cit
les awarded to Poland are preparing
to fight to stay in Germany The old
German military bodies that were dis
banded when the league troops took
charge in the district, are getting to-
gether again, and arms that were
buried instead Of surrendered, are be-
Ing dug up. The prospect is far from
peaceful.

Passage of Canal Tolls Exemp-
tion Bill May Result in
Serious Complications.
MIDDLE WEST IN PROTEST
American Delegates to Arms Confer
enee Formulating Policy-Sudden
Death Of Senator knox-Germany
Is Enraoed by Reported Par
tition Of Upper SiIesia.
BY EDWARD w. PIcKARD.

When the senate last week passed
the BOrah bill exempting American
coastwise vessels from payment of
Panama canal tolls 1t started some
thing, and that something may prove
later rather embarrassing for the ad-
ministration, provided the house also
passes the measure. In the opinion
of the opponents of the bill it is a
violation of the treaty Of 1914 with
Great Britain assuring all nations
equal treatment in the operation of
the canal, and they are confident that
the British not only will protest the
bill If 1t Is made law, but will de-
mand arbitration of the matter. Some
senators asserted that it was unwlse
to bring up the tolls issue at this time
because 1t would add new complica-
ton to the armament conference. This
view was held by Senator Lodge, al
though he declared the United States
had the right under the treaty to ex-
empt its cOastwise shipping from tolls
payment. Senator Borah, however, in
timating that he had consulted the
President, said that "thOse who are
primarily responsible for the success
full outcome of the conference, so far
as the United States is concerned, do
not share the fears Of embarrassment,
which have been expressed on this
floor today"
When it came to a vote, 80 Repub-
llcans and IL Democrats were recorded
in favor of the measure, and II Re-
publicans and 20 Democrats in oppo-
sltion. Free tolls was a plank in the
Democratic platform of 1912, but 1t
was repudiated by President Wilson,
and at his insistence the free tolls
clause in the canal act was repealed
in 1914 after an exciting parliamentary
battle. Last year the Republican plat
form advocated the exemption of
American shipping and President Har-
ding has urged the passage of the
bill. In middle western states busi-
ness and commercial organizations are
strongly opposing the measure because
they believe it is designed to benefit
the Atlantic and Pacific coast states at
the expense of the rest of the country.
Many of the middle western senators
who voted in favor Of the bill are
blamed for blindness to the interests
of their sections of the country. The
argument that the measure is in con-
traventlon Of the treaty is weakened
by the fact that coastwise traffic is
restricted by law to vessels of Amerl-
can registry, and 1t is to these only that
the proposed exemption will apply.
The real battle, over the issue will |
come in the lower house, and 1t is
predicted that the bin will be allowed
to sleep there until after the conclu-
sion OF the conference on armaments.

While the foreign delegates TO the
arms conference are on their way to
America, our own delegation is hold
ing meetings to formulate the policy
that will be followed by the United
States. AT its first session Secretary
Of State Hughes reported that not one
of the participating powers had raised
a single objection to any part Of the
tentative agenda he had submitted.
Even Japan, which at first was a bit
coy, has proposed no additions or
elimiDations. Mr.. Hughes also said
he had cabled to the powers, as an
addition to the agenda, the PROPOSE
tion that the conference consider
the question Of electrical communica-
fion in the Pacific; which. of course.
means that the controversy with
Japan over the zap cable and radio
will come up, unless 1t is settled in
the meantime.
