nation and there is no nation seeking to at tack either or to take away the territory of either. There is no balance to be main tained. It is an almost forced conclusion that the purpose of renewal is aggression on the part of one or both.
 The tory element in the British aristocracy might be glad if the United States were forced into war with Japan. Then British revival might be based on war sales to both sides. We do not believe Japan would con sider war without such moral sanction as would be afforded by the alliance. That at least would set Great Britain in a position of neutrality and the dominions, however much they disliked the situation, would not be able to do much against the people whom they re- gard as their neutral enemies.
 The United States is justified in regarding a renewal of this alliance as unfriendly. It should say that the denouncing of the alliance is a necessity to the making of agreements for the limitation of armament.
 The alliance is step toward war. Limita- ton is step toward peace. The United States ought not to step in one direction while Japan steps in the other, and Great Britain should not expect it. We cannot prevent the renewal of the alliance Possibly the domin- ions can do so. but the United States cannot It can decline to enter into general agreements unless Great Britain and Japan refrain from entering into specific ones.
 The general agreement to limit armaments is sufficient for all the purposes of peace. An additional agreement between the British and the Japanese along the line of the al liance, would he inconsistent and would be dangerous 10 the United States.

CONGRESS NOT LOAFING

There are many minimizing individuals who believe that our legislatore in Washington, principally the congressman, spend most of their time lolIing about the capitol or sitting at their desks in the house with feet propped up on the table, smoking or reading a news papers. There has been much aimess talk in journals of Democratic hue to the effect that congress is loafing on the job and holding up legislation. Some of the fault finders cry that our representatives are talking too much and not acting enough According to the Con gressional Record the members doing most of the talking are Democrats and if anyone IS holding mp bills it is these same Democrats by their senseless tactics of opposition to every thing approved by the administration.
 But those who really know and who are making a study of what is going on at Wash ington realize that the present congress is working increasingly to bring about much needed legislation to relieve their country men of burdens and to relieve business depres sion. Floor Leader Mondell recently made the statement that in his twenty-five years or more service in the house he never encoun- tered a body of men more indefatigable, con scicntiOus and painstaking in their work than the present congress And when he said this Mr. MondelI meant particularly the baby members of the house who have plunged into their new duties with a zest and enthusiasm that has been the talk of official Washington

NOT IF BRITISH AND JAPANESE
 COMBINE

Limitation of armament agreed to by the United States and an alliance contracted by Great Britain and Japan are incompatible. The limitation would prevent the United States from developing its natural strength. The alliance would combine Great Britain and Japan and the only apparent object of such an alliance is against the United States. Russia was the object of the alliance in the beginning. It was to protect the Japanese and the British in Asia from the Russian dan ger. That danger may recm, but it is not now in the probabilities. Japan is not concerning herself about Russia now. She is concerning herself about the United States
 We are for limitation of armament, but we are against a renewal of the British-Jap- anese alliance and the adoption of the one ought to imply the abandonment of the other. Both are recognized as involving principally Asiatic questions and 1t is a dangerous set flement of such questions which stops Ameri- can preparations and leaves Japan and Great Britain combined. If that happened we should be taken in by our own desires to advance the peace of the world 7Tr 142~a,- .,-
 The interests of Canada, Australia and New Zealand in this respect are in harmony with American interests. Great Britain cannot tie up with Japan without joining herself to potential enemy of the British dominion At present they do not like the prospects any bet ter than we do and they possibly can pre- vent the accomplishment of the tory English policy which seeks to combine British naval ism with Japanese militarism
 Alliances generally seek one or two or three objects. They seek to preserve balance against another alliance. They seek to balance the greater power of an aggressive nation They seek to act aggressively and to obtain spells for division.
 The Japanese British alliance is not needed for defense. There is no alliance against either

A BILLION SLASH

Although the Republican platform made no promise of immediate tax reduction, it seems altogether probable that substantial cuts in the tax burden will be made in the forth
 coming internal revenue bill. Republican members of the ways and means committee say that the estimates of Secretary Mellon of $4,0O,O00,000 for running the government in the next fiscal year must be cut at least a billion. Whether that object will be at tained or not it is fairly certain that suf
 ficicnt economies in administration will be made to curtail greatly the need for revenue

It is reported that persons making com plaints to the Wood Forbes mission concern ing the conduct of the Philippine government have been obliged to seek the protection of the commission from persecution on trumped-up charges.
