ORANGES attitude in the Washing

the conference Of the allied premierS
in Cannes, France, for the purpose OF
discussing German reparations and
the economic welfare Of Europe gen.
orally. Lloyd George went there ap-
parently with the intention Of making
the Improvement Of Franco-British re-
lations dependent on Brands consent
to plans for the economic rehabili-
tation of Germany and Russia. BRAND
and his staff were pledged to make
Frances reconstruction the basis for
the rebuilding Of Europe, but they
found that they had the full support
of Belgium alone. In an interview In
the London Daily Mail BRAND pro-
posed defensive alliance between
Great Britain and France, and in a
preliminary talk with Lloyd George he
suggested that such an alliance was
the only way in which the two ma

said the British premier rebuffed the
suggestion, and there is good reason
to believe the British public would

THE delegation from the Far East
L ern republic, not being given
hearing by the conference, created
something of sensation by giving to
the press copies of alleged secret notes
and treaties revealing military and
political alliance between France and
Japan for the purpose Of establishing
Japanese domination in Siberia and
stabillzing French interests In Russia,
and TO Illustrate Americas policy in
the Far East. The documents were
declared to be fabrications, by both
the French and the Japanese delega-
tions, and the United States govern
ment stated it has no official infOr-
nation concerning any such agree
ment. But it is asserted there are In
the files Of the State department re-
ports from American observers In
general way confirming the allegations
Of the Chita representatives, and
there Is talk Of a senatorial investi-
CATION into the Siberian situation.
Later in the week the Chlta dele
gates produced another document, this
time an alleged treaty between the
Japanese army in Siberia and Rus
sian officers connected with Semenoff,
antl-Bolshevist leader, whereby the
Japanese agreed to support with arms
and money an offensive against the
Chita republic. Baron Kato, in re-
ply, admitted that a former Japanese
cabinet paid Semenoff certain amount
Of cash to keep him In the field.

Q ENATOR HIRAM JOHNSON in a

~ address in San Francisco set forth
in considerable detail his objections to
the Pacific peace treaty agreed to by
the arms conference. He especially
dislikes Article ., which he thinks as
bad as Article 10 Of the League Of
Nations. Senator McNary of Oregon
thinks the treaty offers fine chance
for settling the Philippines problem
and when it comes before the senate
he will offer this reservation:
1.-THE United States agrees within
two years TO grant complete independ-
ence to the people Of the Philippine
islands, provided the high contracting
parties will obligate themselves to re-
spect the political independence and
territorial integrity Of the Philippine
nation"

THE death of Senator Boies Penrose

THE death of Senator Boies Penrose
L Of Pennsylvania not only deeply
grieved his many friends and admirers.
1t also caused considerable dismay
among those who do not approve Of
the SO-called agricultural bloc in the
senate. For PenrOse was chairman
Of the senate finance committee and
II the system Of seniority is adhered
to his successor in that place of power
will be Senator McCumber Of North
Dakota, one Of the charter members
Of the bloc. Penrose alsOs was
recognized as the leader Of the con-
servatlve element in the senate, and
in this position he is succeeded by
Senator Watson of Indiana.
Gov. w. c. Sproul Of Pennsylvania
was urged by some Republicans to re-
sign and accept appointment to fill
out Penrose's unexpired term, but this
he declined to do.

meeting of the allied supreme council
was opened on Thursday.

DEBATE on the Irish treaty was al
~ most overshadowed In Dublin by
the kidnapping, presumably by support
erS of De Valera, Of A. B. Kay, cor
respondent of the London Times, and
by hot discussion in the Dali Eireann
concerning the freedom Of the press,
provoked by an attack on the Free
mans Journal because it advocated
ratification Of the pact. The CORE
spondents united in demand that MIR.
Kay be released and that public
apology for his kidnapping be made in
the Dali Eireann.
The strength Of the opposition to
the peace treaty in the Dali Eireann
when it reassembled after the holidays
was unexpected. De Valera, Countess
Markiewicz and many others denounced
the pact bitterly and were not at all
abashed by the arguments of its sup
porters. On Wednesday De Valera
issued a proclamation to the People
Of Ireland" and also circulated copies
of the Document No. 2" shorn Of
several of It's clauses. This latter
was De Valera's proposed alternative
pact, and fierce debate at once arose
over whether it should be considered
as an amendment to the treaty and
voted on first, as De Valera wished,
or whether a vote should first be taken
on the treaty and, If 1t were unfavor-
able, then on the alternative. In the
course Of the row De Valera shouted
that he was "going to move this amend
ment at my own time and in my own
way" and when reminded this was a
matter for the chair to decide he
hotly retorted: II am the president
here and l am going to make my own
rules of procedure in my own way
and at my own time"
The alternative Is not vastly DIFF
ferent from the treaty arranged In
London. 1t provides that the legisla-
ture, executive and judicial authority
Of Ireland shall be derived solely from
the people of Ireland that for the pur-
pose of common concern Ireland shall
be associated with the states Of the
British empire, with rights, status and
privileges in no respect less than those
states, and that for the purposes Of
the association Ireland shall recognize
his Britannia majesty as head Of the
association. Most of the other terms
are similar to those of the treaty.

This is Boy Scout Week. The scout movement was in
troduced in the United States just twelve years ago yester-
day. 1t has had a wonderful growth and it has accomplished
q wonderful work. The scouts have made good.
Several years ago an attempt was made to establish the
scouts in Perth Amboy. 1t was not as great a success as 1T
might have been, but the times were not propitious. People
were bored to death with campaigns and drives of various
sorts and it was impossible TO arouse the enthusiasm nee
essary to make the right start.
A number of troops were organized, however, and the
movement has been kept alive in this city through s1ch &C
Invites. 1t is to be hoped that with these troops as a nucleus
d new beginning may be made before long and that scouting
will become a big factor in the citys life.
A boy scout has been called a community accident N
surance policy. This is because of the training that the boy
receives in not only taking care of himself, but In taking
care of others. A community which fails to protect ltsell
against a calamity by developing the latent power IN us BOY
population deserves the same fate as the man VINO goes
without fire and accident and health insurance
In a city like Perth Amboy the Boy Scout Movement IS
deserving of more attention than has been given it in the
mast. The training that a scout receives stays with him all
through life. 1t makes him a more useful and valuable cltl-
zen.
While there is no particular observance OF Boy Scout
Week here, the anniversary tends to bring the organization
once more before the public. Those devoting much OF their
lime and energy to keep the movement alive are deserving OF
ell the encouragement and assistance that can be given
them.

THE WOMAN'S COLLEGE

The success of the College for Women in connection
with the State University of New jersey at New Brunswick
il shown by the wonderful. growth that The institution has
had since it was established four years ago. The first class
will be graduated in June and the number of applicants for
The new class next fall far exceeds the facilities to accommo-
date them.
There is a great need for a new dormitory and as the
state is unable to appropriate the funds necessary for the
constr. elton of one at this time, an appeal is being made to
the people of New Jersey to contribute to a fund of S250,00O
that is being raised for this purpose.
1t was mainly through the efforts of the women of the
state, working through the State Federation of Women's
Clubs that the college was founded, Now that the college
has more than justified itself there ought to be a still more
enthusiastic response to this new appeal in order that the in
stitution may be more firmly established.

HELP End THE CRIME WAVE

With all the lawlessness that is going on these days,
enc Of the greatest contributors to Grim IS the ease WIN
which anybody and everybody can possess firearms espe-
cially revolvers.
There is really no excuse for the revolver. we doubt
1 anyone can name a useful purpose that it may serve. Much
could be done to eliminate murder, hold-ups and thuggery IN
General if the manufacture of revolvers or pistols OF any sort
we're absolutely prohibited.
But as long as firearms are going to be produced the
cast that can be done is to so regulate the sale Of such wea-
nons as to make it as difficult as possible for irresponsible
sersons to obtain them.
In New York they have what is known as the Sullivan
law which prohibits the sale of firearms without permission
Of the authorities. But in New Jersey firearms can be pur-
chased in almost any hardware store or pawnshop without
any restrictions whatever and without any investigation as
to the character or business of the purchaser.
1t is notorious that ninety per cent. of the firearms and
other weapons used by eX-convicts, thugs, and gunner in
hold-ups in various parts Of New Jersey and New York have
been purchased either in Hudson county, because Of its prox-
unity to New York, or in other large cities in New Jersey.
This is shown by the police records of New York and the
nearby New Jersey cities. The records of the New York
police department. show that in eight cases out of ten where
prisoners are unprecedented for carrying concealed weapons
or for crimes with firearms, the weapons have been pur-
chased in New Jersey.
This reflects no credit upon New Jersey. 1t is some7(
thing that ought to be remedied. With a view Of correcting
This evil there has been introduced in the legislature at Tren-
Ion what is known as the Brown bill, Assembly No. 1928.
Ihe measure is modelled after the Sullivan law in New
York and is intended to prevent criminals and irresponsible
persons from obtaining possession of the deadly weapons,
especially revolvers. The bill is a good one and ought to
pass. This is one of the things the New Jersey legislature
can do to help end the present crime wave that seems to
have the country in its grasp.

WORK FOR Ex-sERvICE MEN

EDITOR EVENING NEWS:
Folks used to say that the late
Theodore Roosevelt's remark that
I'VE of the United States are an i'm
pulsive nation" was rather far-fetch-
ed and not illustrative of our ac-
tons as might be. Perhaps so, per-
haps not. Look at it either way and
you are open to argument-and a
big one. AS tor instance:
Months ago when the matter of
unemployment had reached an acute
stage and was the topic of the day,
the government, on the impulse OF
the moment, took the matter in hand
and advocated the construction of
public works at government expense,
so as to feed the many hungry
mouths one could find wherever n
looked. The President of the United
States also, through official sources,
on the impulse of the moment, in
vited the. participation of national,
state and municipal governing bodies
to foster this admirable project.
Even employment bureaus We're OPP
ened, on the same impulse of the
moment, in nearly all of the cities of
any size, names taken down of all
needing work and efforts to be made
to supply them with work. But re-
suits? Not that n could notice,
despite the fact that some few We're
located, when one considers the
many idle young men still awaiting
jobs.
Admitting that a certain number
have found employment of some
sort in the various industries, the
matter of unemployment is today as
bad as it ever was despite> all this
talk about being willing to promote

a husky youngster who not only
"hankered' for work but was Will
ing to do any old thing just to earn
an honest dollar, when a couple OF
weeks ago she sent down a pretty
blanket of snow. There was no need
of any employment bureau to n
the required help to remove 1t from
the streets of our city. Our young
men were there in plenty, and really
1t was a pleasure to watch some OF
them as they cheerfully took hold
OF a shovel and began thei work,
MANY a one had never before handled
an implement of this Sort nor did
they think it degrading to do man
ual labor, when, to look at some OF
them q glance would tell you they
had been fitted for better work. some
were rather clumsy at it, yet all
worked with a win. The job lasted
only three days, yet they were glad
to obtain it, for it gave them the
sight of a pay-check in the distance
and, possibly. gave them hope for a
brighter future.

sing in disguise. The writeA much as
