plan was not an acceptance OF the status
quo OF navies, but an acceptance of 1.-The
principle OF naval Imitation"
The members OF the French delegation,
having the backing OF their government
have so far shown no disposition to recede
from their contention for the tonnage speci-
fed They take the position that the more
their figures are examined the less will they
be opposed by either tho American govern
ment or American public opinion, but even
IL they were found unacceptable, they de-
clare it is not seen how they could be re-
duced materially. In the light of the extern
sive trade with their far-nung colonies that
must be protected.
However, solution Of the problem of the
French naval ratio may be worked out in
the conference now under way i'm London
between Premiers Lloyd George and BRAND
OH German reparations. 1t is probable that
out OF this conference may come an agree
ment to lessen the size of Germany's pay
ments until she has attained sufficient eco
monte recovery to improve her position for
ultimately meeting the payments; otherwise
she might suffer complete financial and eco
nomic collapse.
But II is not believed that the conference
Will end here. In the view OF British pub
licists there is only one way that France can
afford TO engage in its proposed battleship
program, and that is to continue the pres
sure upon Germany to meet the PREPARATIONS
payment. Hence. the close relation that
exists between the future program as to
reparations and French naval expansion;
both Premiers. it is believed. will recognize
tho closcness of this relation and will seek
a compromise on both PREPARATIONS and naval
building. Should this hope be realized, the
conference at Washington might be dis
posed TO agree to the compromise and thus
end the impasse on naval ratio

bill, with a few Republicans also reported
against the measure. The Democrats op-
pose the bill on the ground that 1t is not
only an invasion Of the police rights of the
States. but Is unconstitutional. In recent
discussion before the Rules Committee, in
which the committee gave the measure priyl-
legged staSis by vote Of TO 4, Dale. Re-
publican, of Vermont. voting with the Demo-
cratic members against the proposal, oppo-
nents OF the measure contended that il Con-

1t might Just as we'll undertake to handle
other crimes which properly belong in the
sphere of State courts. That position is per-
fectly sound. for with this legislation estab-
iishng u precedent, 1T is certain that 1t
would be the signal for going after other
crimes which heretofore have been left to
the State courts to handle.
But the Republicans have the necessary
majority to pass the bill, and 1t is predicted
by their leaders that it will go through
both houses by vote which in the main will
adhere closely to party lines. Moreover, Re-
publican solidarity on the measure has been
strengthened by Attorney General Daugh-
ertys opinion that the constitutional guar
antee OF individual rights implies the au-
thority to enforce it by penalty. In support
OF this opinion he quotes section of the
fourteenth amendment. that Congress shall
have power to enforce by appropriate legis-
lation the provisions of this article"-the
guarantee that no State shall deprive any
person of life. liberty or property without
due process of law. nor deny to any person
within its Jurisdiction the equal protection
OF the laws" To assume that the States
willfully and premeditatively deny this
equal protection OF the laws" is very
weak foundation upon which to base legisa-
ton so violently invasive OF State authority
to deal with crimes originating within the
Jurisdiction of Its own courts
