Politics at Home
Parties and the Conference,

The story that Mr.. Underwood Is
under ban on his side Of the Senate
chamber and threatened with deposi-
ton from the democratic leadership
there because Of his acceptance Of a
seat at the armament conference table
is not only denied but seems utterly
absurd.
Suppose Mr.. Harding had ignored
the democratic side Of the Senate and
given Mr.. Lodge republican col
league. Would not criticism have re.
suited? Would it not nave been justi-
fed? Would not democrats, both in
the chamber and out, have been among
the most emphatic Of the critics? I'm
doubtedly.-
Wisely and properly. the President,
treating the matter as above party
as matter in which both parties were
equally interested-drew upon each of
the parties for delegate to the con-
ference.
In his draft on the democratic party
did he not make an excellent selection?
Mr.. Underwood is not only his party's
leader in the Senate, but one Of its
leaders in the country. In 1912 he was
under most respectful consideration
for his party's presidential nomina-
ton. and he may be SO complimented
again in 1924. The President could not
have made a better selection. Indeed,
by it's recognition of Mr.. Underwood's
merits and ability. the democratic
party had given the President his tip.
The work of the armament confer
ence may undergo vigorous examina-
ton by the Senate, but not on party
lines. That is to say. senator who
should make it plain that his objection
to the work of the armament confer
ence had its root in the fact that the
President is republican and the
leader of his party would not injure
the business in hand half so much as
himself. He would have few listeners
and no followers.

course of a year mounts to an enor-
nous sum. The facts indicate that
jewel owners do not exercise sufficient,
or even considerable degree Of eau
ton in the care Of this form Of prop
erty. 1t is a problem of difficulty, for
If jewelry were kept in a safe-deposit
box it would not fulfill it's function Of
personal adornment. If carried on the
person the risk of loss or theft is
usually considerable and never re.
mote, and when left at home the
danger Of theft is not small. The prob.
lem which is 'up to- each owner Of
jewelry is to exercise the greatest
possible caution in preserving this
highly portable class Of property.

The New Morality in Germany.

BERLIN.-There is a revolution in
progress in Germany which has hith-
erto met with little comment. be-
cause it is less visible to the naked
eve than any of the other upheavals
to be observed here since 1918, writes
a correspondent of the London OBJ
server, located in Berlin. Neverthe-
less. more far-reaching results may
we'll be expected of this uprising
than of many more noisy signs OF
disintegration. Nothing more or less
than the advisability, sanctity and
permanency of the marriage tie is
the question, with its whole endless
chain of consequence in relation to
the foundations of the state.
Though it has been Impossible

A New Marriage Law.

A new and somewhat revolutionary
matrimonial bill was introduced in
the Danish parliament recently. re-
ports the Copenhagen correspondent
of the London Daily News.
It's most important features are:
Each party is required to make a
written declaration as to their health
or supply a medical certificate. Con-
sanguinity conditions are mitigated.
and a man may marry his stepmother.
Failure to support. intoxication. seri-
Gus discord or vice are all grounds
for separation. After eighteen months
separation the. king may grant a
divorce, and after two years either
side may claim a divorce.
Divorce can be claimed when one
has declined cohabitation for two
years or disappeared and has not
been heard Of for three years, or has
been guilty of misconduct or serious
crime. .s.-.--.s....

The House Minority,

The Star the other day pointed out
the opportunity that has come to
Representative Garrett of Tennessee.
In the absence of Mr.. Kitchen he is
the leader of the minority in the
House. If Mr.. Kitchin's health does
not improve sufficiently to enable him
to resume work at this session Mr..
Garrett will continue to direct affairs
on his side of the chamber.
The minority is small-the smallest
in years. There were just enough
democrats left last year for seed pur.
poses. But, small as it is, that
minority, if well handled, can be used
to effect good party results. Maneu-
vered skillfully againt a clumsy and
careless majority. it can be made an
asset of Importance in democratic
calculations.
Mr.. Garrett has just shown his abil-
ity so to maneuver it. Taking ground
against the anti-lynching bill, he put
the majority in hole by forcing
action on the measure over until after
the Christmas holidays.
True, there is small chance of de
feating the bill when the vote is
called. The bill ought to pass. But
Mr.. Garrett has scored by throwing
the majority temporarily into confu
sion and showing the country how
things are going on Capitol Hill, and
what is possible there as matters now
stand.
What is there in all this for Mr.
Garrett? Why not the Speakership il
the next House is democratic. He is
in his prime-forty-six-and in his
ninth term running as member OF
the House-a veteran legislator while
still young. Maybe it would pay the
republicans to wake up and take a
look around.

U. S. Industry Revivifies Zion

American example, industry and
mechanical genius are giving q ne"
and larger life industrially and eco
nomically to ancient Palestine.
Where 1921 years ago a rebirth
was given to humankind, a develop
ment is now in progress which
promises to lift that land into
higher plane. 1t is stepping from
the dim sameness of miriad yester-
days into a future of progress and
prosperity, under inspiration, guild
ance and help from the United States.
This is one of the real romances of
modern commerce.
The colorful part of this story of
reawakening, after slumbering since
the first Christmas, on the dawn of
Christianity, is hidden from the
casual observer under the cold busi-
ness report from Consul Addison E.
Southard at Jerusalem that "Ameri-
can machinery is assured a definite
and important part in the agricul-
tural rehabilitation Of Palestine"
Before the war the general eco
nOmic COndltlOnS anu pToSpcCtS gave
no encouragement to the use of
AGRICULTURAL machinery, although
certain standard makes of American
machinery had been sent into that
country and were definitely estab-
iished. Postwar conditions are
favorable to active economic develop
ment of the country and as agricul-
ture is necessarily the basis upon
which such development must be
built definite consideration is being
given to agricultural ways and
means. T.
AGRICULTURAL work has naturally re-
ceiyed prior consideration Different
makes of American tractors have
been brought IN. mainly by public
spirited organizations. and are found
to be the most satisfactory of all
those in use. A tractor demonstra-
tion held under government auspices
last spring resulted generally in
favor Of American-made tractors.
A shipment of American implements
was received recently at Jaffa which In
cluded six tractors Of nine to eighteen

plows, disc plows, etc. These imple-
mentS were purchased in the United
States by an American Zionist workers
organization, and were sent to Palestine
for presentation or for hire on easy
terms to local Hebrew agricultural
colonists. The money derived from the
rental of this machinery is to be ex-
pended solely for upkeep and repairs
AS already stated the American ma
chinery which has been shipped to Pales-
tine was purchased by organizations in
the United States, and most of that
likely to be imported in the future will
probably be purchased through the same
media. as the introduction of agricul-
tural machinery is largely in the hands
of organizations concerned with or in
terested more directly in the carrying
out Of Zionist plans in Palestine.
Much Of the capital for these pur-
chases is being raised in the United
States. and American manufacturers in
terested in obtaining a share Of this
trade should therefore Immediately get
in touch with the various Hebrew or
Zionist organizations in America watch
are interested in Palestine development.
The machinery thus imported for the
Hebrew farmers will be the means of
developing a demand for implements
among the Arab farmers, who will de-
pend to some extent at least upon the
local commercial importing firms for
their implements. and as there are at
least five Arab farmers to each Hebrew
farmer in Palestine, an appreciable
business of direct shipments to Palestine
by manufacturers themselves on an en-
tirely commercial basis should be the
result
Because Of the present compare
lively small purchasing power Of the
individual farmer, there is at pres
ent some difficulty in the placing of
implements by manufacturers through
the ordinary commercial firms estab-
lished in the country, and thus far
little business has been done by the
direct method. However. the future
is promising, as is indicated by the
experience Of an American tractor
company which has as direct repre-
sentative a firm Of merchants in
Palestine, which has been very sue
cessful in developing the territory
for the tractor manufactured by this
American company.
America is pointing the way also
for rebuilding the country from the
ground up through scientific agri-
culture. A number of the farmers
who are to install machinery in Pal
estine have been educated in agri-
cultural colleges in California.

Christmas and Peace.


Christmas. 1921, may be one Of the
great dates in world history. 1t may
be recorded as the time when men
moved sincerely and practically to.
ward the ideal of peace on earth which
was established by Christ centuries
ago. For there is making in this
city at the present time an under
standing between the greater nations
which will work for peace between
them and probably for the preserva.
tion of peace elsewhere.
War is an abhorrent reversion
to the primitive conflict without rea-
son. Steadily for centuries the
thoughts of men have been fixed more
and more definitely upon a state of
well being in which the differences be-
tween political groups and peoples
might be adjusted without resort to
force. But with all this aspiration to-
ward the ideal, man has steadily
progressed in the development of the
so-called arts Of war. adapting to the
purpose of slaughter the highest prin.
cipleS of science, and all new discov-
cries in the use of physical material,
until in 1914 came war on a more
i'll which the most terrible means
of determination, of manning and
binding and devastation were ap.
piled.
From that war has come in the
hearts of men a. renewed determina-
tion to progress to the realm OF rea-
son and justice. The Christian prin.
ciple of peace was never more highly
regarded. never more sincerely sought
than it is today. And in pursuance of
that ideal representatives Of the great
nations have met here at this capital
to seek a practical way to lessen the
chances Of war, and to tighten the
burden OF the preparations which
political conditions even yet require in
some degree from the powers bearing
world responsibility.
Progress greater than that which
many believed possible has been made
toward that point Of great de-
sire. Questions that seemed beyond
direct settlement have been put in the
way of adjustment. Agreement has
been reached to lessen the war-making
machinery on the seas. Causes Of pos
Sible friction have been discussed and
set toward settlement. A treaty has
been signed. the faithful observance of
which. when ratified, will make for
peace on the part of the powers that
stand today as the trustees Of inn
mense areas and vast multitudes of
people.
1t would, indeed, have been appro-
pirate had this conference been con-
cluded with complete success along all
the lines of its purpose by this day,
Christmas. the day Of peace and good
will. But details remain to be settled
upon the broad principles that have
been established. A successful out
come is no longer doubtful. 1t is pos
sible today to rejoice confidently in the
prospect of peace on earth.
