Turkey.

None Of us seems touched by the
impending fate Of the turkey. Our
idea seems to be that he, and she,
were laid, Matched, brooded and other
wise brought up for the single pur-
pose Of being a sacrifice on the holi-
day of Thanksgiving and the holiday
Of Christmas. Matched to be Martyr"
might be the slogan of the turkey or
the motto on his crest. Perhaps it is.
Man has never given much serious
study to the language Of the turkey,
being chiefly concerned with the art,
or science. Of raising and cooking him.
Most men know nothing more about
the turkey than that his price is high.
his flavor excellent and his digestibil-
ity and nourishing qualities good. 1t
is generally supposed that he is proud
Of the relation he bears to two Of our
very distinguished fete days, and that
nothing gives him keener pleasure
than rendering unto us the peculiar
service we require Of him. 1t would
be interesting to obtain the turkeys
views on our winter holiday customs.
His famous "Gobble.gobble-gobble"
might be translated as words Of dis
approval instead Of words Of sincere
appreciation for the honor we do him
in bidding him to our feasts. How
ever, Thanksgiving comes on apace,
and all Of US, who can afford it, will
order turkey.

towed to sea and sunk. This immense
ship, one Of the greatest ever designed
for the American Navy, falls under
the ban Of the American plan for
naval reduction. At the present stage
Of her construction she Is practically
the last word IL naval fighting units.
Greater ships are in contemplation,
and at some stage Of construction, and
they. too, will go into junk If this plan
is carried into effect.
Yet. whatever the sentiment Of re-
greet for wasted effort, the scrapping
of the new ships will be in accordance
with public wishes and hopes. These
immense fighting craft costing many
millions in construction are after
completion objects Of ceaseless ex.
penditure. The mechanical main
tenance bill Of q battleship of the
West Virginia type is enormous.
When fully manned and differed such
q ship drains the Treasury at an an
nual rate to keep a good sized college
richly endowed. In the case OF bat
tleship. as it is often said in bitter
pleasantly Of a motor car, the cost Is
greatest after purchase.
The country is inclined to look upon
this matter Of naval scrapping in a
more businesslike way since evidence
is had that the other powers are sin
cerely desirous Of effecting a pacific
understanding, based upon good faith.
No amount Of money is ever grudged
the government for proper prepare
ton against a real danger. But when
the danger is lessened the people be-
gin to count the costs, and hence their
WILLINGNESS to see this splendid me-
chal creation that took the water
yesterday at Newport News broken
into junk If the holiday plan is estab-
lished.

Politics at Home
Hylan and Higher.

Until recently, former Gov. Al
Smith was the upstanding and out.
standing figure in New York demo-
cratic circles. His term at Albany had
been successful, he was personally
very popular, and having been
raised" on politics 1t was assumed
that he would be glad to get into the
game again. His was the only name
under consideration in connection
with next years nomination for gov
ernor. It was almost assumed that he
would be put up by reclamation, and
with a shout that would count heavily
in his favor in the campaign for cleo
ton.
But now come the friends Of the
hero Of the latest New York contest
and PROFOUND the question. What is
the matter with Hylan2 Why would
he not do for a term at Albany? Is it
not claimed, indeed, that the mayor
Of greater New York has more difficult
duties to perform than the Governor
Of New York? And has not Mr.. Hylan
just received at the hands of the
voters Of the metropolis such certifi-
cate Of approval as entities him to
consideration for higher honors in
politics?
Mr.. Hylan and Mr.. Smith are both
comparatively young. both good cam
paigners, and both of, and much trust
ed by, the plain people. Mr.. Smith,
by reason Of his Albany experience,
first as legislator and then as gov
ernor, Is better known upstate than
Mr.. Hylan, but this second victory of
the latter over a powerful combina-
ton in town will introduce him favor
ably to localities where until now he
has been something Of a stranger.
Mr.. Smith, it may be mentioned,
stumped the city in the recent cam
paign, and thus associated himself
with the Hylan victory: He is always
regular in party matters. and always
at his party's service for whatever
no can do to help secure victory at the
polls.

Japan's Chinese Policy.


The statement made yesterday by
Admiral Baron Kato. head Of the
japanese delegation to the conference
on armament ana far eastern ques-
tious. in response to the proposals Of
the Chinese delegation, is as notable
for what is left unsaid as for what is
said. So far as the statement goes in
outlining Japan's policy with respect
to China it leaves nothing to be de-
sired. But It In disappointing in
that It fails to come up to the
measure of what had been expected
from japan. Because Of things which
had been said in an unofncial way
hope had been entertained that japan,
following the generous lead Of France
and Great Britain, would voluntarily
offer to withdraw from Shantung and
her other footholds on Chinese soil.
Shantung and Manchuria ware not
mentioned by Admiral Kato.
This docs not mean, Of course, that
Japan 10 resolved not to relinquish
these footholds. In fact, some parts
Of the statement are capable OF being
interpreted to mean that at some later
time there may be expected a fuller
exposition Of the Japanese position
more in accord with the aspirations Of
the Chinese people and the desires Of

Mr.. Bryan.

In the language Of the curbstone,
we must all hand it to Mr.. Bryan.
For versatility and industry he 10 well
up in front. He IL always on the job,
whatever the job may be. Now it is
the job of q lecturer: now that Of
politician; now that Of social philoso-
pher; now that Of a newspaper re-
porter.
He was in the press gallery at
national political convention when op-
portunity knocked at his door. He
heard the knock, needed it, and sprang
into fame. Today, twenty-five years
later, we find him in the press gallery
again. taking notes, and absorbed in
the proceedings Of the armament con-
ference. As a consistent and persistent
advocate Of peace. going all lengths
in that behalf, he is probably a happy
man in the hearing Of so much earnest
talk on that subject.
II Mr.. Bryan had not emerged from
the democratic convention in 1896 the
leader Of his party he might have
made his way to leadership in daily
journalism. He might have planted
his tripod. so to say, in Chicago or
New York, and drawn more heavily
on his pen than his tongue for his
place in the world.
But he did emerge from that conven-
ton the leader Of his party, and in one
way or another, on one issue or an
other, he has been leading it ever
since. Presidential gossip always car
ries his name. In 1904, although dis
claiming any desire for the nomina-
ton, he was yet in the minds Of many
men for his party's prize that year.
In 1912, although q delegate to the
convention favorable to the nomina-
ton Of Champ Clark, he seemed to be
the likeliest man to win in case OF a
deadlock, and last year at San Fran
cisco bets were laid on his carrying
home the bacon.
And even now one hears the sug-
gestion that Mr.. Bryan is not out of
it, but may appear in 1924, head up
and in keller, and the very best nag
in the democratic stables for carrying
the money in what promises to be the
race Of races.

the rest Of the world. It is stated, for
instance, that Japan IL entirely unin.
fiuenced by, any policy Of territorial
aggrandizement in any part Of China, "
that she adheres without condition or
reservation" to the policy of the open
door and equal opportunity, and that
she "does not claim any special rights
or privileges"
The Chinese delegation may ind
comfort in assurances that Japan has
no desire to interfere in the internal
affairs of China. that Japan has
every desire to cultivate tho happiest
relations with China" and that the
japanese delegation to the conference
is "solicitous Of making whatever con-
tributions we are capable OF toward
China's realization Of her just and
legitimate aspirations"
Taken az a whole, the statement
may be said to be as satisfactory as
ordinarily is the case with such diplo-
matte utterances, and 1t suffers only
when compared with the frankness
and fullness with which other powers
have declared themselves at the pres
ent conference. 1t at least leaves the
way unobstructed for further discus
sions, and is a distinct advance in that
it formally abandons Japan's position
that certain incidents were accom-
plished facts and therefore closed,
and specifically declares a Willingness

Art of All Nations.

in the way of the project are being

1T may be recalled that such an

cessitated the abandonment OF the
preparations that had been begun in
1914 1t was at that time that, NJ
Armand Dayot. originator Of the
present plan, was intrusted with the

why France should not take the in

National questions were not IN evil
dence in either Of those states in the
recent campaign. Both parties stressed
local questions, and asked for de-
cisions on them.
Nevertheless, the fact that the
democrats made showings at the
polls which are heartening their ma
tional leaders considerably has raised
an inquiry a. to the extent, IL any, the
returns may be accepted as bearing
on the senatorial situations.
The general situation is more COM
plicated in New York than in New

Not a Rival of Paris.

Paris.-Writing in LOeuvre, Charles
Saglio says there is no thought of the
Washington conference setting itself up
as a rival of the Paris conference.
There u.s." he says. "a general
tendency to consider the Washington
conference as the rival of the Paris
conference, as a manifestation of new
world policy in opposition to that Of
the old world.
This Is quite a wrong opinion.
American statesmen have no wish to
obliterate or even correct the work
of European statesmen; they want
to complete II. The Versailles treaty
has settled the results of the war as
well as possible; but it has not in
augurated real peace because IT has
not brought about general disarma-
ment or at least limitation of arma-
ment.
ut must be remembered that the
idea of a Limitation of armament
was especially inspired by the anxiety
to protect the security of the United
States. No doubt the humanitarian
overlooked, but the Americans con-
slider first the advantages which
America would derive from it. The
proof is that the United states only
being exposed to naval dangers,
naval disarmament has been chiefly
and almost exclusively advocated.
There exists today in the hands of
the Pacific peoples twenty Of the
most terrible war machines which
have ever been built: and the ma
tions must be prevented from putting
these Internal machines into use in
order to gain victory which would
always be q defeat for civilization.
But how ia the conflict to be avoided?
Some day by persuading people
that 1t is their duty to humanity
to disarm progressively: but others
think this is too idealistic and say
that rival peoples will never listen
to reason until their passions are
appeased. that they will only obey
the interests Of humanity when their
national interests are satisfied.
These are the two different ways
Of looking at the subject. VIII the
