An agreement between the two countries on these

The question of property rights, however. Is in
separable from the other provisions of the
treaty, and unless the present Mexican govern

for safeguarding property rights of foreigners,
recognition by the United States. which would
be accomplished automatically by the signing of
the treaty, will be delayed. ~
During the Carranza regime certain changes
in the Mexican constitution we're made and pro-
mulgated, which, il applied rctroactively, would
mean the forfeiture of land titles acquired in
good faith by American investors 1t is the pur-
pose Of the treaty of amty and commerce to
secure pledge from the Obregon government
that these titles shall not be subject to confsca-
ton 1t is not the desire Of the United States
to alter in any way the Mexican constitution as
to properties which have been acquired since its
PRONUNCIATION. 1t has been pointed out by the
State Department that there is no Intention to
dictate to Mexico Regarding her foreign or do
nestle policies, but that confscatory policy,
such as would result from making the constitu-
ton of 1917 retroactive. strikes not only at the
interests of individuals but at the foundation
of international intercourse. -

easy to understand therefore. why the French are

1t has also developed that the maintenance OF

cure Frances position in Syria by agreement with

an Arab leader Of the House OF Mecca.
Emir Feisal has been informed that he
would receive the support Of the British
government if he were acceptable ruler
to the Arabs of Mesopotamia.
The plan outlined by Mr.. Churchill was
attacked Immediately by the French press on
the ground that Feisal is an enemy OF the
French and that the British plan is an at
tempt to set the Arabs against the Turks,
which would result in forcing the Turkish
Nationalist into closer alliance with So
Wet Russia Charges are repeated by French
papers that the British are encouraging the
Greeks the renew their war against the Ma
tionalists in Asia Minor. and the feeling is
expressed that the whole British policy in
the Near East is against the interests of
France and will delay the establishment OF
peace.
Since the signing of the tripartite agree
mcnt, which defined the spheres of influence
of Great Britain. France and Italy, France
has been trying to get the Greeks out of
Smyrna and to escape gracefully from her
difficulties she got into in attempting to
enforce her claims in Anatolia under the

Lesislating Neighborliness.

THE HON. FRANK B. KELLOGG, in an ad-
L dress to the Minnesota Society strongly urged
that the people Of the several States should look
their own State governments to redress correct
their troubles, and to provide betterments, rather
than to come to Congress for such laws. He de-
cries paternalism in government as tending to sup
press individual initiative, effort and development
He expressed the belief that the best results
from personal interest and effort in that
which is nearest-that of the township, city, county
and State
The efforts to center all forms of relief, of So
cal aid, and betterment, of provision to solve the
problems of the common welfare, leads to bureau
cracy and so to bureaucratic autocracy Senator
Kellogg in this pointed to a growing evil. This
tendency Is fact becoming fad. The uplift move
ments whose name is legion, are all swooping down
on Congress to reform all the ills flesh is heir to
and morals are>infected with, through law.
Congress has many such measures under
serious consideration One thing the advocates of
these bills, and some Congressman. seem to over
look. This is that upft legislation to be applied
nationally, is superAuous in some States, some
cities; is not fitted conditions in other States or
localities; will be ignored in and abused in
others. In it will be auocratic in administra
ton and in few will be applied saney with full re-
serve of individual rights.
This is as true of good roads and of educational
reforms, of laws to prescribe how women should
it may be must-bear and for their babies.
Most of those good women who want the last named
form of legislation would not for a minute tolerate
for themselves what they propose for other women.
None of them would have their homes invaded
under directing law which may be stretched to be
compulsory.
Moreover, one of the most intimate, almost
sacred relations, is that between families and their
chosen physicians. To rupture interfere with
that by, often meddlesome, agencies trying to make
an official record, would be criminal. Many
cities and counties if whole States already have
provided all such helpful agencies a purely Of
fered aid educational factor. 1t is prefer, not
an authority. Such it always should be.
To attempt to supply what is actually neigh
borly, through the machinery of the law, is so
wholly un-American and mistaken, that it seems
strange it should have any support among Ameri-
cans. There is place where legazed authori-
tatve philanthropy and benevolent interest should
stop, that is outside the door of American homes
no one can condescent to- substitute the law for
neighborness

Rule of international Law.

TN HIS recent address before the American
i Society of International Law, the Honorable
EEhu Root said:
As the basis of international law is uni
versa acceptance, either Russia must be
cluded from the category OF civilized nations
the law must wait upon the downfall OF the
present regime in Russia. In the meantime
every act which tends to support that regime,
whether for sentiment trade, is hindrance
to the restoration of law and the rule Of inter-
national justice.
The proof of how exactly true this is, has
followed close on the heels of this statement.
Several months ago the British courts gave de-
cision that property seized by the Soviet govern
ment under its confscation decree of 1918, could
not be recognized in Great Britain having
changed ownership. When coming within British
jurisdiction, it held, such property would re-
vert to its original and SO could not be
used by Soviet Russia a medium of trade.
Those who took such property in payment or as
barter. must do so at their own risk as subject
to claim practically stolen goods.
This decision has been reversed. The
courts now hold that the British trade agreement
de facto government, the legality of whose acts,
therefore, Great Britain cannot question. 1t can
not "go behind the returns" and pass judgment
on the domestic DEGREES of government whose
de facto status it has approved.
Great Britain made this agreement with Soviet
Russia, not for sentiment but against sentiment
and against British conscience. 1t was made for
trade and for the protection of India from Bolshe-
visit propaganda But the result has unquestionably
been " hindrance the restoration Of law and the
rule of international law on which basis alone
rest, and must rest, all international relations
and the peace. safety and good will of the world.

Pleads for Conscience.

Senator Porter T. McCumber. Of
wahpeton, North Dakota, says wars
may be prevented by developing
public conscience. He is right. De-
yelop the individual conscience first
and the public conscience will fol-
low. Conscience. in its minutest
and its most expansive forms, is of
God. II calls for brotherhood and
harmony among all the worlds in
habitants. The churches shouIc
have long since established IL as
the foundation Of religion. but they
have neglected it. There are some
ministers who call conscience devil
ish, but st. Paul showed it's high
connection when he said: MY con-
science also bears me witness in the
Holy Ghost
George Washington said: Forget
not to keep alive in your bosoms
that little spark of celestial fire
called conscience"
President Wilson said: I'VE shall
find all our reforms, not in law.
but in conscience"
Cardinal Gibbons said: what the
times need is sturdy manhood, which
will be persistent in the carrying
out of the dictates OF conscience IN
social. political and religious life.
The times need men who will fol-
low their conscience, rather than
expediency. principles rather than
popularity. The man who follows
his conscience has hut one MASTER

Idison, His Questions, His
Remarks.

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
1t would be Interesting to know
the percentage Mr.. Edison expected
to find in the answers to his ques-
tIons and the percentage actually
made.
The questions are fair, consider
ing the ground Mr.. Edison wished
to cover, and the average man
should have made no less than 81
per cent. Many of the questions
are school boy questions: some de-
pend on intelligent reading Of pa
pers. books and magazines; a very
few appear a little catchy.
Mr.. Edison is hardly looking for
100 per cent freaks. They would be
as valuable to him as those in the
Ky, class of know nothings. He
evidently wished to assort out a liv-
ing brain from a mechanical one
His quiz will produce that class
from which he can see -n-"e hope OF
valuable material to him.
His remarks on our school situa-
ton arc absolutely CORRECT. We
have brilliant people teaching in
our schools that cannot impart their
knowledge because they forget that
a student is an a, b. C proposition.
He must be taught from the bottom
up-even as with blocks, diagrams.
pictures, etc. The teacher must
descend to the level of the student
and climb with him. 1 have per-
sonally quizzed many high school
students only to find that the SUB
iect in question had been disposed OF
in one of the lower grades and now
was forgotten history. A teacher
that is run by a set rule of accom-
plishing so much in a given space
of time Is producing results on q
very small minority of the students
when the real object is the majority.
As an examiner myself many OF
these pass before me, and the re-
suits of faulty education are simply
appalling.
