Harding Won't
Offer Treaty, Is
Senator's View
Confident He Could Muster
Majority, but Feel Ac-
ton Would Invite Po-
litical War for Party

From The Tribune's Washington Bxrcav
WASHINGTON, Nov 2S.-Commen
among Senators to-day regarding tn,
proposed association of nations ane
Senator Borah's opposition to it brough
out the belief that, while the Presiden
probably could muster the necessary
two-thirds vote in the Senate for the
ratification OF such plan in treaty
form, he is extremely unlikely to en-
ter into any agreement which would
call for Senate action.
Among the best informed Senators
many of them speaking in private ant
with the understanding that thei1
names were not to be used, the feel
ing was general that even should the
President submit such treaty anc
gain two-thirds support for it, he would
arouse such controversy by doing sc
as to invite political trouble for his
party and possible political disaster tc
some Republican Senator's.
They predict that under such circum
stances the Administration will prefer
gentlemen's agreement for confer
ences, such as the present one. at
stated times. Such conferences could
be called without submitting the cues
tion to the Senate. One Senator drew
attention to the fact that, even in the
matter OF an appropriation, the Ad-
mln1strat1on has a contingent fund of
the State Department at it's disposal.
1t IS clear that If treaty for an asso-
citation of nations is entered into. it
will have the support of Administra-
tlon Republicans and of Democrats who
are for the League of Nations, though
some of the Democrats who are for the
league are looking askance on the as
sociation plan.
Senator King, of Utah, Democrat,
member of the Naval Committee. said
tonight that if the association were
planned as rival to the League of
Nations it would not be we'll received.
senator King is strong league sup
porter
Senator James E. Watson, of Indiana,
hepuolcan, gave Esihu Root credit for
concelvlng the idea OF an association
OF nations. He called attention to the
Iact it was not generally known that
ME- Root wrote the association of ma
tions plank in the Chicago platform.
Senator Watson approved the idea Of
such an association, and said it could
be entered without foreign entangIe-
ments and without sacrificing our in
dependence, and also without involving
this country in the League of Nations.
He declared for "an enlarged confer
ence on a permanent basis, and for a
friendly discussion between the ma
tions of international questions"
Senator Hitchcock said he had no
doubt a majority OF the Senate Demo
Gratis would support the proposal of
the President for an association of
nations. He said the ''joke is on Borah"
with reference to this proposed asso-
citation.

It is, upon consideration, almost
automatic that the results of the
present conference. whatever they are,
will require another to bring them to
completion. The resolution being
formed to do, and not to do, certain
things, how is it to be insured that
they are to be done, or not done, as
the case may require7
Obviously, there will be need OF some
nexus between the present conference
and the next one, some surveillance
of procedure, some medium of transmits
sion from the present to the next
meeting. For this purpose council
would be useful, common center
where contact could be maintained
without the long negotiations and corr
respondence between busy foreign of
tlees. This. no doubt, would be one of
the details in working out the Presi-
dents proposal
Time to Appeal to Realities
Just here there is q strong tempta-
tion to examine i.to the possible
wider consequences of applying Presi-
dent Harding's method. Proceeding
by agreement, and not by coercion, it
differs fundamentally from the doctrine
on which is based the League of Ma
tions. But there is another difference
equally important. The Presidents
method proceeds from the concrete to
the abstract, from the particular to the
universal. 1t is. in truth, the method
Of modern science, which does not be-
gin with generalizations, but with
particular phases of being and action.
In international affairs we have in
the past been indulging too much in
universology; that is, in effect, in an
assortment of abstract ideas and pri-
vate opinions classed under such
broad rubrics as "peace" and Justice "
1t is time to appeal to the realities
and to solve, or attempt to solve, the
srccial problems that arise between
nations and in their intercourse.
To begin with, the limitation Of
armaments and the Far Eastern stu
alton is an application of this method
IL was not necessary to summon all
the world to solve these problems
which very few powers can solve
if they will.
There is attributed to President
Harding a new reference to the ex-
preston "an association of nations,
an expression which already has a
history, but still requires explanation
The revival Of it at this time and in
this connection opens a wide vista
of future possibilities. 1t will also
perhaps. engender controversies. That
is highly desirable as furnishing an
occasion, such as public interest has
not hitherto offered, for going to the
bottom of the whole question of in
ternational organization. 1t is a topic
that calls for more searching exam
ination than it has yet received.
New-York tribune., 1921-11-29

1T will be seen from the figures given
above that Japan, with a population
OF b6o00,O00, possesses a standing
army nearly equal to that of Italy,
with a population of 100000 600. AS
for her reserves, hers are only a little
over one-fourth of Italy's. 1t will thus
be seen that Japan is scarcely worthy
OF being classed among the strong
mllitaristic powers.
There is as yet another fact that
goes long way to disprove the allega :
ton that Japan is militaristic. In the
United States, as everybody knows,
most of the male citizens are given
more or less military training and
can be turned into fine soldiers in a
short time, as proved in the last war.
All boys studying in educational in
stitutions of high-school grade. being
under constant military drill as u
bodily exercise, are almost as good
fighters as regular soldiers. In Japan
no such perfect training is given to
young men in ordinary schools. The
rank and fle of the army is recruited
from among common people, such as
farmers and artisans, knowing prac-
tically nothing of military arts. To
make them soldiers they have to be
taught from the very beginning. This
is the reason why the term of military
service in Japan requires comparative
ly long period; it was until recently
three years and is now two years.
Editors Note: Attention is called
to the fact that no such general system
of military training exists in American
high schools

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2s.-That part
OF the conference program which con-
Germs land armament seems to attract
only little, if any. attention from the
public, as it is not likely that any
definite arrangement can be reached
on this subject. AS consequence, I
fear. the misguided impression will re-
main untouched with regard to Japan's
military position. Many Americans
seem to entertain the idea that Japan
is militaristic nation, which has big
standing army ever ready to march on
continental campaign Of conquest. 1t
is only natural that such notion
should exist in America, as it was
mainly through her successful welding
of the sword that Japan won her pres
ent high position in the ranks Of ma
tions. Besides, in order to discredit
Japan in the eyes Of the world, her
enemies have been endeavoring for
years to represent her as nation ever
dreaming of a conquest in Asia and
then of leading its teeming millions in

In the face Of these facts it is not

COULDN'T KID THAT STUDENT
Youths Comment on Professors Ad- mission of Author Was Dis
 tinctly Uncomplimentary.

George Philip Krapp has not always been professor of English at Columbia. For two years he held the same posi- tion at the University of Cincinnati, where his modesty, as usual, was so pronounced that his great scholarship was not evident to the typical under classman. One day a chap who had just been promoted from the freshman class bounded into his study and said :
 Professor Krapp, found something strange today; there's a book over in the library written by man who has just your name"
 ''Is that so?' said Professor Krapp. What is the book?"
 Why said the student, it is an ac- count of an Anglo-Saxon work called 'Andreas and Elene. "
 But l wrote that book" replied the author of Modern English, and half q dozen other volumes"
