D a successful republican govern

up a successful republican govern ment.
 In this fundamental respect, there fore, Great Britain's interests are those of Japan rather than those of the United States-that is, those of the British imperial government are. There is a large and growing mass of liberal opinion in England which is sympathetic to the American point of l view. But the British empire as such can maintain itself only. if at all, by | ideals in the Orient.
 It is for this reason that we see in
 the newspapers articles of British in | spiration speaking on behalf of the | Japanese alliance. It is urged in the first place that this alliance need not | be at all inimicaI to the United
 States. Tn the second place it is sug- | gested that the alliance be made a | tripartite agreement to include the United States.
 l All of this argument, say the ex- perts, is specious. An alliance be-
 tween Japan and England would in | evitably work against the United | States in the Far East, whatever its stated terms. The proposed tripartite agreement would merely have the ef- | feet of tying the hands of the Amer l ican government. It is probable. however, that this latter propoSltlon need not be taken seriously because | it is practically certain that the United States senate would not ratify any such tripartite agreement. l Likewise the Anglo-Japanese all iiance can be prevented by firmness
 on the part of the United States. Great Britain may want it for the reason stated above. but she does not want 1t badly enough to risk a serious break with the United States over it. l lIt-is probable that the Japanese know | that they can count on British sup port In the conference, on this and | other points, just so long as that sup | port does not alienate the United | States. In word. the American
 government has the physical and fi-
 nancial power to enforce its point Of
 view. if only it is not out-talked, as
 it was at Versailles.

The Parking Problem

The parking problem $ becoming more diffi- cult one in all towns the automobile congestion becomes greater It has been satisfactorily solved in few if any places. It can never be solved until there is recognition of the simple fact that the greater the number of the greater must be the space within which they are to be parked
 On Saturday night spent half hour watch ing driver extricate himself from the curb Gen. street near Washington. But for his expertr.ess patience he could have accomplished the feat in that time. His next to the curb. The space between it and in front about foot. It was as near to the in the
 That situation alone enough to tax the in- genuty of the average driver, but it only small part of the complication. There outer of One of ordinary thoughtfulness when parking in the second usually leaves his car so that it stands exactly beside the inner But in this the driver of the second line had thoughtessly stopped it that 1t overlapped the space between the two inner cars. The driver had then probably gone to show. The driver who trying to free himself from the trap obliged to push the outer out of his way and then with difficulty he able to get out.
 Center street is not wide throughfare. Yet on each side there two lines of cars. leaving marrow aney-way in which two were barely able to pass If them had inexpert driver, there would probably have been collision. As in the case of the Germans at yerdun. they would have

We have seen many of them escape being struck only by the driver executing quick swerve. But when is double line of automobiles standing there. there is little to swerve. that collision either with automobile a pedestral is likely.
 Owners and drivers of automobiles should be taught that they cannot all park in the center of the town; that they must go farther outtwo, three or four blocks if necessary to find places where they are not endangering life and property and in- conveniencing the public.
 One reason why the central part of the city Is so congested at night is that owners want to leave their machines in a strong light in proximity to crowds for the discouragem .of thieves But there ways of locking that frustrate thieves Anyhow If fearful thieves it would be better for him his in the security of his than make travel the principal streets unsafe

The Anglo-Japanese Alliance

wants the alliance with England. but not so easy to see the basis of the English desire for it. The English government originally considered it necessary to offset the menace of Russia to her Asiatic empire. With Russia a great imperial-stic power, Great Britain really needed a strong Asiatic ally With Russia out of the game of Empire. she does not need such an ally. Doubtless Japan is still useful to her by doing her naval police work in Asiatic waters. but it has been announced that Great Britain will have an Asiatic fleetof her own in the future, so this work is evidently no longer to be entrusted to Japan.
 Moreover, Japan. it Is said in many quarters, has steadily injured ritish quarters, has steadily injured British

 What. then, is the purpose In Asia that Japan and England still have in common? One well informed observ- CT says that it is a purpose which neither of them can afford to state in public, and which certainly will never be mentioned at the conference That common purpose is the rise of demo- cratic ideals in Asia.
 Japan is ruled by an oligarchy. Its constitution and its parliament arc alike of little effect in its affairs The republican spirit and class con- sciousness are a menace to the ruling oligarchy. which seeks to suppress both. Likewise the present Japanese course in China would be largely thwarted if China could set up a sue cessful republican government, and the same is true of Manchuria and Si- beria.
 Britain in Asia
 Great Britain rules over many mill lions of people in Asia, and among all of them the republican ideal is grow ing. India, for example, is on the verge of revolution. If one Asiatie 1 republic succeeds. the republican spirit will be strengthened in all parts of Asia. Great Britain. as an empire fears the spread of republican doc- Urine from China to India by way oI
 the Philippines.
 Japan and Great Britain then un- | doubtedly have in common the pur- pose of holding the undeveloped Asi- atic peoples in subjection and of pre- venting the spread of democratic l doctrine among them. The increase of American prestige in the Orient means the rise of the democratic ! ideal there The United StStes vii undoubtedly try to help Gnina sci

 As result of the war, Poland was made free and Is now member of the League of Nations.
 It has very fertile soil and the harvests in peace time are excellent.
 It was much harassed by the Germans in the war and by the Boshevks since It is now getting it's feet slowly.
 Its forests are enormous. One Polish authority estimates that they could be sold for enough to pay the national debt
 It is Republic Its President is General Pill sudsky
 Its capital is Warsaw, which contains million people
 You get some idea of it's extent when you travel there and discover that it takes the train hours to go from Warsaw to the Russian frontier east ward and twelve hours go northward to the German border.
 It has plenty of all mineral supplies but coal which is why Poland wants Sesia, where coal is plentiful
 The industrial districts of Poland almost densely populated Belgium.

 Poland's currency is badly wrecked. Before the quarter; it takes 1000 of them to buy four dollars worth of goods. This renders trade almost impossible
 Poland badly needs raw materials from other countries and cannot buy them account of its worth less money.
 Alexander M Thompson, Labor Correspondent for London newspaper says:
