OF prime Importance in the news OF
the week was the announcement by
Secretary Hughes of the administra
tons policy in dealing with Mexico.
In a sentence, this is that, if Mexico
desires to obtain recognition by the
United States, she must enter into a
treaty of amity and commerce that
has been presented to President Obre
gon and in which she will guarantee
American property rights within Mex
lean territory against cOnfisCatiOn.
Says Mr.. Hughes: Mexico is free to
adopt any policy which she pleases
with respect to her public lands, but
she is not free to destroy without COM
pensation valid titles which have
been obtained by American citizens
under Mexican laws. conhscatloh
policy strikes not only at the interests
Of particular individuals but at the
foundations of international inter-
course, for it is only on the basis OF
the security of property validity pos
sessed under the laws existing at the
time of it's acquisition that CONNER
cial transactions between the peoples
Of two countries and the conduct OF
activities in helpful cooperation are
possible.
'"This question Is vital because OF
the provisions inserted in the MeHl-
can constitution promulgated in l9l'.
If these provisions are to be put INTO
effect retroactively, the properties OF
American citizens will be confiscated
on a great scale. This would consul
tute an international wrong OF the
gravest character, and this govern
ment could not submit to its accom-
plishment."
The Republican majority in the
house took steps TO discard the Borah
amendment to the naval bill, ana 10
substitute the idea of the Porter JOINT
resolution, which concurs in the eA-
pressed purpose Of President Harding
to call a disarmament conference but

plan. The Porter idea, it is said, Is
the more pleasing to the President,
but he will not directly intervene In
the controversy The house Demo-,
Gratis are almost solidly In favor OF
the BOrah amendment.
The senate performed a peculiar
flop last week in dealing with the
army bill. On Tuesday, by vote OF
"a to 80, it rejected the drastic army
reduction voted by the house, adopting
the plan of the senate military COM
mittee for an army of an average
strength of 10000 during the next
year, with a reduction to 10000 BY
February Is, 1922. Next day the SEN
ate reversed itself, deciding, SO to 81,
to reduce the army to 10000 which
would necessitate the discharging OF
about $4,000 men before the middle Of
next February. The entire bill was
then passed without a roll call. 1t

the interment OF the honored remains
Of our unknown soldier at Arlington.
and with deep affection laid his floral
and other tributes upon the tomb. He
was received by many cities with the
highest civic honors and most gra-
cious courtesies. And he was signally
honored by admring Indians, In
whose history he had ever taken a
lively interest, by formal adoption into
tribe with the high distinction of
being made a chief. And the pres
ents that were showered upon him,
each an expression OF love and
sincere good will, were sufficient In
number and bulk to constitute a good
ly part Of ships cargo.
The great soldier now returns to the
retirement Of his home with higher
honors even than those that attend
brilliant success in war. In war he
proved himself invincible, but he was
most triumphant in his complete cap
ture Of the hearts OF the American
people. His visit here Is confirmation
of the truth and force of Milton's
aphorism: Peace hath her victories
no less renowned than war" They
are even more so.

HARDING AND SOCIAL EQUALITY.

Social equality may mean two
things. The obvious and clear mean
ing is the right of a human being 10
accept companionship with his fellow
on terms OF equal and reciprocal
courtesy. In this sense the term is
understood and defended by modern
men. Ii has not been denied by any
civilized man since the French Revo7
luton. II is the foundation of democ-
racy and to bring It into being the
world went through revolution, war,
murder and hell.
But there is another narrow, stilted
and unreal meaning that is sometimes
dragged from these words, namely:
social equality is the right to demand
private social companionship with an
other.
Or, to put it more simply: the real
meaning of social equality" is ell
gibility to association with men, and
the forced and illogical meaning is the
right 10 demand private association
with any particular person. Such a
demand as the latter is idiotic and was
never made by any sane person; !;
while. on the contrary, for any person
to admit that his character is such
| that he is physically and morally unfit
| to talk or travel or eat with his fellow
men or that he has no desire TO as
| sociate with decent people would be
an admission which none but a leper,
a criminal, or a liar could possibly
make. 1t is the very essence of self
respect and human equality and it car
ries with 1t no jot of arrogance or
| assumption-it is simply homo sum.
