cf amendments Of all sorts.
The budget bill is in conference, the immigra-
ton bill is ditto, the Knox resolution is through
the Senate and held up in the House by Republicans,
the emergency tariff having passed the House
is to be finally acted upon in the Senate tomorrow.
There is no reason to believe opposition to the
complete foreign relations program will meet serious
opposition from the larger body of Democratic
Senator's 1t is more apt to come from few dis
senting Republicans.
No one of them should object to the soiace
they get from saying that the Republicans have put
on President Wilson's clothes. This has fully as
much OF truth the claim Of the Republican ex-
tremc irreconclables that the vote of November 2,
verdict against any slightest Wilsonian faint;
that everything ever advocated by Mr.. Wilson is
unclean and that remnant of his program can
be accepted; that the people then declared that
nothing which by any stretch of the imagination
could be credited to Mr.. Wilson, shall be even
considered
Indeed this old world is full of interest with
enough of vaudeville to keep alive its sense Of hu-
NOR. Mr. Wilson's foreign policy as a whole. and
in its details, had a chance. But in principle
the last Senate. If Mr.. Wilson had been content to
get only the principle and had forgotten the details,
the treaty would have been ratified with votes to
spare. 1t happens, also, that President Harding
who voted for ratfying the treaty with
reservations.
To accept part of the principle claimed for
Mr.. Wilson, would mean the complete isolation Of
the United States and a separate treaty Of peace
with Germany. This is as far from the real senti-
ment of the Republican party would be the adop-
ton of the treaty of Versailles without change.
When President Harding made Mr. Hughes his
Secretary of State-no appointment he has made
and is more popuar-he gave conclusive notice
that he had not radically changed his position as
to be classed with either extreme. Somewhere
there is middle ground and if the Democrats take
comfort from the fact that the administration seems
to be seeking t-well, it will take at least ten
Democratic votes in the Senate and maybe more to
finally adopt any form of foreign policy.

British Finances.

" years; the United States for nineteen
months. The British army double our own in
numbers Since the armistice it has had large forces
in various parts of the world and much trouble at
home. Yet the British budget for the coming year
is 9Iooooooooo which the dollar basis, is little
if any larger than our own
More than this the surplus from the last bud
get is &23o,5oo,ooo The surplus of the United
States is deficit, many deficits, with which
Congress is now concerned. We have heard a
great deal here about Great Britain defauting the
debt due this country, the interest remaining un-
paid, and hints that would have to wait and
hope. --...-
But this budget report shows, that the
British foreign debt reduced GII7,ooo,ooo in

ming July l, by the justices OF the
District Supreme Court. william L.
Houston. colored attorney, was ap-

term expires June 80. All three
have announced they will serve.
Mr.. Houston is said TO be an at
torney for Roscoe Bruce, assistant

schools, whereas Peyton. whom he
will displace, is a pronounced critic
of Bruce and has advocated the
latter's removal.
In 1912 Houston declined appoint

PROPOSES NEW PRooF
OF FERMAT.s MATH. PUZZLER.

A new method Of proving the
Fermats Last Theorem, which has
been a stumbling block for mathe.
maticians for centuries. was pre-
pared by william Z. Heal, OF tho
Coast and Geodetic Survey at the
meeting of the Mathematical Asso-
citation Of America Saturday. For
the first valid solution Of this nsth-
ematicsl theorem, the University or
Goettingen in Germany holds in
trust a bequest Of 100000 marks.
The theorem known as Fennat's
Last Theorem asserts that no power
OF an integer can be the sum OF
two other powers OF the same de-
gree except in case OF the first and
second powers" explained Mr. Heal
This theorem was announced by
Fermat about 1864. and he declared
he had found a wonderful demon
strstion OF it. but no record Of such
demonstration was found among hrs
papers after his death"
In itself the theorem is Of little
value and its fame rests upon the
stubbcrnness with which il has re-
sisted the efforts OF the very great
est mAthemRticisns since Fermsr's
tme. OnlN ieW special cases

To the Editor, The Washington Herald ::

10 the Editor, The Washington Herald:
Thanks for your editorial of May

your editorials are not worth a ng
but the fellow who writes now and
then concerning the treaty OF Yer
sailles is as sound as a die. He
has never budged an inch from his
convictions on that point.
Descendants OF the timorous gen.
tlemen who are now opposed to our

sinister meaning in not wanti1g
to enter. They will not laugh.
Yours very truly.
