The National Gallery of Art.

In the annual report Of the Commits
sion Of Fine Arts, which constitutes
an inspiring survey Of the prospective
development Of the National Capital,
is reference to the projected National
Gallery of Art. For this institution, it
states, the space on the Mall between
7th and 9th streets, now occupied by
temporary buildings. is reserved for a
building to hold the national gallery.
under the control of the Smithsonian
Institution.
Last Wednesday evening the thou
sands who attended the reception
given by the citizens of Washington to
the visiting delegates to the arms con-
ference passed through a series Of
rooms set apart in the National Mu-
scum for the display of the paintings
that now constitute the national gal
lery. This collection is not extensive.
but it is choice, comprising some ex-
ceptionally fine works Of art, with a
wide range Of style and treatment.
Considering the conditions in which It
is accommodated it is admirably dis
played. But it has not a suitable en-
placement. 1t forms merely part Of a
great scientific collection in incon-
gruous association. There is no space
for expansion. In it's present quarters
the national gallery cannot grow save
at the expense of the scientific ex-
hibits for which the building is pri-
marily designed.
Recently it was announced that a
commission had been formed to super
wise the assemblage of great collec-
tion of American art works Of the
highest quality in expansion Of the
national gallery. These works are to
be obtained by gift or by loan, and in
some cases by purchase. The purpose
Is to create here in Washington a rep
resentative American gallery under
the auspices of the Smithsonian Insti-
tuition. Obviously. a definite separate
home for this collection is necessary.
The additions are sure to come in a
short time. Unless the present collec-
ton is to be huddled and crowded in
it's immediate quarters the separate
building indicated in the Commission
Of Fine Arts report should be provided
for and started at once.
The construction of a permanent
home for the National Gallery of Art
will not be matter Of two or three
years. Bearing in mind the length of
time required to construct an ordinary
government office building, it is fair
to predict that such gallery struc-
ture would take no less than five years
to complete. Would it not be well.
therefore, to start now with plan max
ing on a definitely authorized program
so that by the time the gifts begin to
come in expansion of the national gal
lery this permanent home will be
ready?

The Secret Chinese Treaties.

When China proposed in the Wash
ington conference that all the treaties
among nations affecting her and her
vital interests be made public for the
determination of their scope and va
lidity. she did, by long odds. the big
gest thing that has been done by any
nation at the conference. For gen.
erations the white powers have been
meeting in secret and entering into
treaties relating to China without con-
sulting her. Among the powers that
have thus indulged the most have
been England and France. 1t is said
in Washington that this proposal has
created far more CONSERVATION among
the white nations than any other of
China's proposals has caused in yell
low circles. Unhappily, China has not
always been represented in Office by
honest men. More than once has she
been sold by these-which means that
more than once have nations pretend
ing to a higher civilization than
China bribed Chinese officials into the
betrayal of their country. While the
complete cleansing of the Chinese sit
uation seems beyond the possibility
of the conference, the more light that
is let in and the more wrongs that are
righted the better will it be for all
the world through the years to come.

The Legislative Mill.

OF recent years special sessions Of
Congress have been somewhat the
order Of the day. President Mckinley
called one. President Taft called one.
President Wilson called two. And
now President Harding has started
with-one.
g Our national legislation mill is kept
grinding pretty steadily. Its wheels
have been turning for more than nine
months. this year, and will begin to
repolve again in two weeks.
Agood deal Of grist is brought in.
The people have come to the pass Of
looking to Congress for many things
for too many things, some Of our
public men assert.
The contention is that there are too
many laws; that some should never
have been enacted; that some have
been too hurriedly knocked together;
that some are not enforced; that some,
though enforced, fail to achieve their
purposes.
This contention is followed by the
suggestion that, instead Of annually,
Congress should meet every other
year, and then sit for only short
time.
All Of this is well enough in the way
Of assertion and speculation. But
there would be grsat difficulty in put.
ting it, or any part Of it, into prac-
tice Every senator or representative
stands for the measure he introduces.
and insists that it is worthy Of atten-
tion; and when he succeeds in getting
1t on the books he holds that it is
worthy of enforcement.
As for the annual meeting Of Con-
gress, it is only necessary to point out
that annual appropriations are neces-
sary for the support Of the govern
ment, and that appropriations made
too far in advance might not meet the
requirements. Besides. the Constitu.
ton requires the annual meeting.

A valuable result Of the recent re-
ception by Washington to the dele
gates will be to call attention to the
wonderful. picturesque and instruc-
tive collections in the National Mu-
scum, where the brilliant function
was held. objects Of scientific and
chronological interest are too often
neglected merely because they are
close at hand. The National Museum
is an institution which no citizen can
afford to neglect. and the hours of
gayety which passed within its walls
should prove an incentive to much
serious and productive thought.

Conference Going Well.

1t was not believed that the arms
Limitation conference could proceed
without coming upon points Of dis
agreement. Its course has been re-
markably smooth, and there is reason
to hope that what are now disagree
ments, or which are reported to be
disagreements. will be reduced to
agreements. The reported difference
between the delegations Of Great Brit.
ain and China over the Interpretation
of certain general principles which
have been accepted, and the criticism
of BRAND and France by Curzon for
Great Britain are both, if one may use
the phrase, extra a-conferential, having
come up outside the conference.
Disagreements were to be expected
and are to be expected. This is con.
ference of great nations and not q
love feast. Some Of these nations have
at times been enemies and then allies.
Some of them have been what are
called traditional enemies" They
have been, and still are, rivals in
trade. Some of them have been rivals
in seeking and securing territorial and
commercial advantages over nations
not strong enough to make their pro-
tests effective. but We are all friends
now, or honestly trying to be friends,
and the spirit. plus the necessity,
which has brought us together should
be stimulated by all fair means. The
conference is young yet, and the world
is full of hope that adjustments will
be made tending to international con-
cord. the preservation Of peace or the
indefinite postponement of war.

:!s.merican Sentiment Not Mushy.

When there is discussion Of proper
tional naval strength in connection
with the program Of armament Iimita-
tion the suggestion is frequently
heard that some of the visiting dele
gates have become imbued with be-
lief that American sentiment for
limitation is so strong that this gov
ernment will be forced 70 consent to
material modification of the Hughes
proposal. If the delegates of any
power are predicating their negotia-
tions on that assumption they are rid
ing to a fall. They will find that
American sentiment is not weak senti-
mentality.
That the American people are over
whelmiHgly in favor of armament
limitation is beyond a doubt. So also
are they overwhelmingly in favor of
fair play and the square deal. Such
has been the policy Of their govern.
ment for so long time that the
American people think they can recog-
nize a fair and square proposal when
they see it. With a unanimity so gen.
eral that the exceptions do not count,
they think the Hughes proposal for
reduction and limitation of naval
ornaments is fair and square. They
think. in fact, that the proposal is so
fair and square that it partakes
rather less of hard and fast equity
than it does of conspicuous generosity.
Sentiment in this country in favor
of armament limitation Is so strong
that the people will support their gov
ernment in a generous policy toward
other nations invited to 'the confer
ence. And sentiment in this country
for fair play and square dealing is so
strong that the people will support
their government If it refuses to per-
nit any power to take ungenerous ad-
vantage of its generosity. If the repre-
sentatives of any government are pro-
ceeding on any other theory they have
made a woeful blunder in their inter-
pretation of American sentiment and
their attempts to understand the i'm
pulses of the American people.
The American delegation to the
arms conference put forward pro-
posal which the other attending
powers accepted 'in principle and in
spirit" Now there is talk that modi-
fications are being urged which vio-
late both the principle and the spirit
Of that proposal. If any such modifica-
tions are insisted upon they will be re-
tected by the American government,
and the American people will back
their government to the limit in that
rejection. The sooner this fact is fully
understood and appreciated, the bet
ter chance there is that the arms con-
ference will have an outcome bene-
ficiai to all the nations concerned and
in accord with the best hopes of all
mankind.

He was promoted to be full admiral

1t was in August. 1915, that Baron

to head the delegation which is to

In Washington Baron Kato is ac-

conference, at committee meetings,
during his calls upon the other dig

The Allied Debt Specter.

The failure OF the Senate to pass
the bill for refunding the foreign
debts due this country before the
meeting of the arms conference. and
the prospects of further delayed ac-
tion on it for some weeks. places the
administration at a disadvantage in
the conference that may prove seri-
ously embarrassing to it in the effort
to confine the discussions to the chief
points of the submitted agenda. The
great anxiety of the President to have
this refund authorized before the
meeting was ignored by the Senate,
and thus the situation for which it
was hoped the measure would afford
temporary easement for the stress Of
the allies threatens to project itself
into the conference discussions as a
disturbing factor.
