Senator Wadsworth asserted heat

Senator Watson then produced his
small photograph of an alleged illegal
execution. 1t was passed around
among senator's who examined it care
fully.
Senator Watson said it had been sent
to him by somebody" during the de-
bate.
Senator Borah arose and said he had
sent the photograph, which, the Idaho
senator said, he obtained from Senator
Watson after publication several
months ago of the senator's charges
and the photograph in Senator Wat
sons magazine.
The picture speaks for ITSELF" said
Senator Boralr "of course it does not
show where it is. Two x-service men
have confirmed to me the statements
regarding the picture.
Senator Borah then added that with
out further substantiation he was not
willing to bring the matter before the
senate.

of former service mfn had told him of
the alleged executlo pms, which were
conducted, the Georgia senator said,

camps in France His informants,
Senator Watson said, asserted they had

Senator Watson said that senators
would remember thatsthe cases of SOL

D1sARMING THE OTHER FELLOW.

In the forthcoming disarmament conference
there is likely to- be expressed by each group Of del
6egatesa strong desire for the disarmament of the
nations represented by the other groups. There is
a tendency to expect the other fellow to move first.
This same tendency is exhibited among our own
people in the various groups whose work contrib
utes to the national armament. The primary pur-
posed this conference is to'discover means. where
by naval armapaent, first Of all, may be reduced.
There seems. to be a general acceptance. of the view.
that this will be the proper starting point. That
view is shared by all persons except the enthusiast
tic representatives of the navies. They are inclined
somewhat to resent the idea that. their arm of de-
tense and offense' should be first to be reduced in
strength. Army men quite naturally are in favor
of the proposed plan. Among all branches of the.
service we find exceptions made in the case of par
ticu1ar activities. The aviation men although they
maybe in favor of a general reduction of armament
are quite certain that this ought not to affect the
aviation forces. They are so important that they
must be expanded rather than reduced. The chems
ical service is a highly important one and those who
art. engaged in it are quite sure that no reduction
can safely or properly be made there. A very ac-
tive propaganda is being carried on by representa-
tives of the small craft construction work, protest
ing against any reduction in that The
workmen engaged in the construction. of subma-
rines, and torpedo chasers, etc, are interested in.
retaining their jobs, and they are sending out lit
%erature by means Of which they seek to demonstrate
that the b~attleship is an antiquated affair upon.
whichti will not be profitable to spend much more
money, but that by no means should. there be any
cessation in the construction of submarines and lit
tie boats generally.
If the disarmament conference amounts to any
thing q great many people are going to be disap-.
pointed. There can be no reduction in armament
that accounts for anything that does not go all along
the line. It will doubtless be found that 'readjust-
sment will be needed in many branches Of naval and
military service. It is possible that some may need
to be expanded, but if there is to be general reduc-
ton, its scope must be large enough to include
everything in the nature Of armament, even al
though the policy may not be applied to all at once.
The world is tired of arms and armament it is tired
sof footing the bills for these. things. It is weary Of
the waste Of war, and earnestly DESTROYS that this
waste shall be ended. And whatever stands in the
way Of a stride in this direction must go.

PRESIDENT AND CONGRESS.

Probably President Harding did not need the
little explosion in the senate the other day to inform
him that something in the nature of a miniature
volcano exists in congress. He has ways of keeping
himself informed other than speeches and newspa-
per reports. And his experience in congress alone
has enabled him to size up a congressional situation
with q fair degree of accuracy.
The criticism of the president on the floor of the
senate, however, brings to the attention of the coun-
try the fact that the president, like his predecessors,
is confronted by a certain antagonism in congress
which is likely to express itself in almost any man
ner at any time.
The president has given oFense by recommend
ing to congress that it do certain things and that it
omit certain other things. Its said that in making
these recommendations he has set himself up as a
dictator, has cracked the whip over the heads of
congressman, and has transcribed his constitutional
privileges. One particularly interesting charge is
that he was guilty of an unconstitutional act in ap-
pearlng before the senate alone. The directors de-
clare that while he may have a right to appear be-
tore congress as a whole, he has no business to ad-
dress either house separately.
Nobody IS going to get very far who bases
criticism on such grounds. All that the c%onstitu-
ton says on the subject is that the president .shal1
from time to time give to the congress information
got the state Of the union, and recommend to their
consideration such measures as he shall Judge neces-
ssary and expedient. The manner in swhichahe
shall communicate his views is left to his own jjudp-
9nleat, and there IS nothing in the text prohibiting
him from addressing either house 5separately.
No president has sever attempted to perform the
duties ot leadership without mourning enrnity. But
I The country expects the president to Be a leader. and
would condemn him were he toSshirk.

IT CAN ALL BE DONE.

There is considerable interest in the rumors Of
the probable resignation of the state officials who
are members of the Industrial commission, and
against whom recall petitions are being circulated.
AS a matter of law there seems to be nothing in the
way Of the plan. While recall petitions are.in cir
%culation, they have not been filed, and until they are
filed there is nothing to hinder the; officials from re-
signing. If the attorney general and the eommis-
sioner Of agriculture should resign and the .@lieuten-
ant governor, another league man, would autorna-
tlcally succeed him, and the petitions which have
been signed would be so much waste paper, as a
petition demanding the recall Of Governor Frazier
Wood.
The independents would have to choose be-
tween circulating new petitions against the new Of
ticials Or abandoning the recall altogether. Tech
,nically, if all the conditions were right, it might be
possible to prevent the filing Of petitions BY keeping
up the process ct resigning perpetually. Resigna-
lions can be flied and new appointments made in q
few minutes. The circulation Of petitions, no mat
ter how rapidly it is done, requires an appreciable
time It would always be possible for the existing
officials 70 get their designations ii ahead Of petit
Itlons for their recall. But, even if the adr1inistra-
|tlpn faction were willing TO resort to such desperate
tactics, they would be expected t. work with the
organization. But, il he should resignshe wouldab e
by the secretary Of state, Tom Hal, and
the administration would scarcely place its fortune
In Tom,s hands. The first series 81 designations
would therefore bethe last.
II would be possible to provide for a succession
|of newfofficials in the other two offices, but the new
governor would BE subjected to the recall and would
|suifer certain defeat. Further. there would be 4
general election at A time specified by law, and at
that election the initiated laws would be passed on.
That is what the administration fears more than
l~anything else. With those laws passed the Offices
