Delay in Genoa Decision.

1mpatience, either at home or
abroad. is not likely to stampede
President Harding and his advisers
into a hasty decision as to whether
this country shall be represented in
the financial and economic conference
at Genoa. Big as such a conference
might be in possibilities for good, it
holds equal possibilities for embarrass-
ment and harm unless there is in ad-
vance a clear understanding Of what
IS to be undertaken.
With the United States party to
the conference, its major activities
would center around ways and means
Of obtaining for Europe further help
from this country. WillinBsand anx.
ious as the American people are to
help Europe recover from the effects
Of the war, they have made up their
minds that Europe must first show a
willingness to help itself. The United
States ought not to be represented at
Genoa unless assurances are given
that the doors will not be closed there
against self-help.
To begin with, there must be more
sincere effort than has yet been made
to balance European budgets. A first
step toward the balancing Of budgets
calls for a reduction of military ex.
penditures. The United States believes,
therefore, that the limitation Of land
armament ought to be on the Genoa
egenda-
Recovery Of Europe, and especially
Of central Europe. Is fnextricably in
terwoven with the question Of repara-
tons. The American people are not
'.soft" toward Germany. They do not
believe the victor nations should fore
go any part Of the reparations which
It Is possible for Germany to pay. But
they do believe that adhesion to a
schedule OF payments should not be in
sisted upon Il the schedule Is such as
Evening star., 1922-01-23

to break Germany and force her into
hopeless bankruptcy. They believe,
therefore, that reparations must be on
the agenda, II anything worth while
is to be accomplished.
Against discussion Of both these
questions there has developed in Eu-
rope strong opposition. President
Harding and his advisers do well to
wait until it is seen whether this op-
position is to prevail. ~
And it is essential. before American
is decided upon, that
shall be given that thers
will be no attempt at Genoa to bring
about cancellation of the Indebtedness
owed this country by Europe. The
people do not intend to can
eel that Indebtedness, and they are not
willing to be placed In position where
their refusal to do so could be made to
appear an insuperab1e obstacle to the
recovery Of Europe. They recognize
that there must be adjustments Of the
debt to meet the varying capacities Of
the debtor nations to pay, but they do
not intend that the question Of such
shall be taken into such
an international conference as the one
to be held at Genoa.
Americans may be charged with in
in believing that repara-
tions should be discussed and in op-
posing discussion Of the debt, but the
cases are not parallel. The purpose of
reparations would be that
in the end France and the other al
lies might realize the utmost on their
claims against Germany. No such pur-
pose would animate a discussion Of the
debt owed by Europe to the United
States.

Wages and Prices.

Clothing is still 81 per cent higher
than it was in 1914. Some sorts Of
wearing apparel. quoted at an ad-
vance of 450 per cent over the pre-
war price, have declined only 81 per
cent. The things that have come
down, in the main, are represented
by lines that foreign firms uandoned
during the war and have not yet
taken up. When the imports begin
arriving the American manufacturer
will begin scaling his prices.
Wage and price figures present some
curious aspects. The drive to get
wages down is just as insistent in
the clothing trades that are still
operating close to the price peak, as
they are in. the trades that have re-
duced the price of their product close
to the 1914 figure. Wage reductions
are not always followed by reductions
in the price of the product. It is the
industries that have reduced the price
of their product the least that are
the most insistent in their advocacy
of the American valuation tariff plan.
If that idea goes across, the American
manufacturer will be able to main
tain prices without at the same time
being forced to maintain wages

A LIT H OF G H construction Of
~ Washington's m h needed
~ additional water conduit will
be started in the spring very
little work will be done before July,
1928, II Congress fails to appropriate
the 100000 asked by the Commits
sioners to continue the project during
the next fiscal year.
Congress some time ago appropri
ated 100000 to prepare specifications
and begin work. Plans are rapidly
nearing completion in the office of
Maj. NJ c. Tyler, engineer officer In
charge, and the first shovels will be
put in the ground in few months.

the urgency of Washington's need for
more water and appropriates the
three million in the District bill, that
money will be available on July and
make rapid progress on the new con-
duit possible.
X X y X
Officials of trade and civic organ
izations are unwilling to believe that
Congress will permit small amount
Of work to be done on the conduit
this spring and then allow an entire
year to elapse before making another
appropriation.
Maj. Tyler has related, at the re-
quest of The Star. concise story of

Is to be increased by the project au-
thorized by Congress and how it not
only will protect the city from water
famine for half Gentry to come, but
will greatly improve water pressure
in many parts of the District.
Maj. Tyler revealed the fact, not
generally known. that the 100000
given as the cost of the new project
does not provide merely for a new
conduit from Great Falls. but includes
new filtration plant and two new
reservoirs, one in Georgetown and
the other near the bureau Of standards.
Here is Maj. Tyler's explanation of
just how Washington's present serious
water situation Is to be relieved:
Potomac project E contemplates a
new aqueduct taking water from
above the existing aqueduct dam at
Great Falls, thence parallel on the
river side of the old aqueduct and on
the Conduit road strip to the receiv-
ing reservoir at the District line
This aqueduct will be constructed of
concrete and will double the amount
of water brought to the receiving
reservoir.
Suitable gatehouses will provide
cross connections between the old and
new aqueducts, so that relatively
short sections of either one can be
drained for inspection and repair
With the city now using an aver
age of 65.000,000 gallons of water a
day, it is impossible to close the sin
gle conduit longer than to make a
mere inspection of it. The tunnel
which now transports all Of the ,city's
water from Georgetown to. the Nc
MILAN Park filtration plant cannot
be drained even for inspection.
1t is this situation, making repairs
to the existing water works impos-
sible. that has caused the civic or
ganizations of the city to view with
deep concern the possibility of post

The Campaign and Expenses.

The Newberry case is still under
popular discussion, and will continue
to be until November. To the extent
that the democrats can make 1t SO, it
will be campaign issue.
AS such, however, it will suffer from
overstatement. The Senate has not
been disgraced by the admission of
Mr.. Newberry to membership, nor
does the vote admitting him signify
such a lowering Of the moral tone on
Capitol Hill as threatens the security
Of the republic. When rhetoricians
and perfervid partisans get agoing
they make the welkin ring.
But this much is clear, and If prop
erly considered should make for good

Benedict XIV.

In the death of Pope Benedict XIV
the Roman Catholic Church suffers
the third death in the papal Office in
nineteen years. Preceding the last two
1ncumbents Of that office it was held
IN succession by two who together
presided over the church for a period
OF hfty-seven years. Plus TX was Pope
Tor thirty-one of these years. and Leo
xiii for twenty-six years. Their two
pontificates covered most important
period In the history of the service.
1t may or not be significant that from
1876 to the present the papal terms
have steadily decreased, covering, re-
spectively, thirty.one, twenty-six,
eleven and eight and a half years.
Plus x, Giuseppe Sarto. was well ad-
vanced in years when he was called
from his post as cardinal patriarch Of
Venice to the chair Of St. Peter at
Rome. His successor was Cardinal
Della Chiesa, who, born November 21,
1854, was in his sixtieth year when he
was elected. He was one Of the young
est of the cardinals in point of his in
vestiture with the red cap, having
been named for that honor only in the
May preceding his election as Pope.
One factor in his choice, it has been
said, lay in his comparative youth. Yet
now at the age of sixty-seven, much
younger than his three predecessors,
he has passed, and the church is again
called to mourn its leader.
Benedict XIV was called to the papal
Office just after the break of war in
Europe. The last days of his predeces-
sor had been darkened by the gather
ing clouds Of international trouble.
The new Pope undertook to restore
peace. He strove constantly to effect
suspension of hostilities, to bring about
an agreement. The Affections of the
war reached him directly as the priests
OF his church in the lines Of the strife
were caught and made to suffer. The
scene Of the conflict was almost ex-
clusively within Catholic countries
The Pope did not succeed in bringing
about pacific adjustment. His efforts
to that end were unavailing, and the
war was fought to its military conclu-
sion despite his appeals.
As a man Of peace, hoping for the
settlement Of questions in a way to
prevent future wars, Pope Benedict
was keenly concerned in the peace
conferences at Versailles. He was pro-
foundly interested in the call of the
Washington conference and in its
progress toward a basis Of international
agreement.
Benedict XIV was not the astute
statesman of the type Of Leo XIII,
whose political administration of
church affairs was one of the most
brilliant successes in the history Of the
papacy. Plus TX was the parish priest
IN spirit, elevated to the highest Office
in recognition of his virtues, his piety
and his broad benef1cence Of view.
Benedict was chosen for his sagacity,
his Intellectual as well as spiritual
qualities. He was Of noble family,
patrician. priest from the age of
twenty-four his life thus given to the
service Of the church, which must now
seek a worthy successor to this capa-
BILE leader, who will be known in his.
tory as the war Pope who strove for
peace.

"The Senator From Florida."

II would rather be right than be
President" was the consolation purse
which we believe Mr.. Clay offered to
himself when he found there was no
open door to the White House for
him. Mr.. Bryan, If Washington
rumors be true, is willing to be sena
tor If he cannot be President. There
may be considerable difference be-
tween being a senator and being
right, but still, even with the mixed
resents, it is a forum which has its
compensations and pleasures. It Is
rarely stepping stone into the ex-
ecutive chair of the nation, but 1t
provides publicity for the ambitious,
and to a man of Mr.. Bryan's ora
