THE FOUR POWER Treaty.

When the four power treaty was
taken 10 following the action upon the
treaty invoking zap. Il was done for
a purpose and not just as a matter Of
routine. Il Is believed that it is nee
essary TO rabsy this treaty in order to
pro7ide the proper setting for the other
Understandings reached at the Wash
ington conference. It would OF course
be useless to go 10 the bother Of debat-
Ing and acting upon other treaties if
the one Of vital Importance is not going
TO be ratified.
This is one OF the points to which
Senator Lodge gave emphasis in ad-
dressing the senate upon the four power
treaty. Senator Reed wasted a lot Of
ame IN the role Of a heclller without
contributing anything convincing in the
say Of opposition TO the treaty or in
dosing any good reason why it should
not be ratified. When the Massachu-
saltts senator points out that recogni-
ton o. rights In the Pacific and the
Limitation OF naval ornaments hangs
upon this four power treaty it must he
regarded as an important preliminary
Of deep concern to the entire country

specific matters.
But when Senator Lodge also declares
hat this treaty brings about the term-
nation Of the alliance between Great
Britain and japan, which alliance has
,bseu considered highly undesirable.
since alliances create suspicion and sus-
7icion leads TO that hatred which often
terminates in war. it ought not to take
long for the importance Of such bet
terment 70 sink into senatorial minds.
Thus far there does not appear TO
Rave been set forth any sound reasons
for refusing 70 ratify the treaty and
a. Is not 70 be inferred that there are
oniv *gc reasons for doing so. 1t is one
- the steps that have been taken in re-
sponse 70 national demand or prevent
ing trouble between nations. 1t is not
an alliance and Il there was any doubt
on that point ire Brsndegee reservation
removes &. but il lays the foundation
Tor future peace and is the bedrock on
which other moves in the same direc-
don have been based. The best inter
ests q the country call for ratification

ONLY WHAT ENTITLED TO.

From one end Of the country to the
other it is believed and has been insist
ed that there cannot be too much done
in behalf OF the disabled soldiers
those who have bone home manned or
sick. From the reports which are be-
ing made from time to time some indi-
cation of the amount of work that Is in
VOWED in dealing with the many phases
OF this job has been given in the re-
ports made and the testimony given.
The work Of what is now known as the
veterans bureau is and has been extern
sive. 1t is not the result Of slow de-
velopGnent but emergency conditions
which had to be met without prepara-
ton. Unler such conditions it is not
surprising if perfection is not to be
found on all sides.
However, as the result OF invetlSa-
tons and suggested reorganizations
marked Improvement has been made,
and in keeping Herewith it is crafty
ing to learn that orders have been given
to the effect that the large hospital on
Staten Island where many sick are now
quarters is TO be abandoned and that
the patients are to be transferred tc
other places just as soon as the accom-
modations can be provided.
Satisfaction over this change comes
from the fact that recognition is givor
to the unsutabilMy of the hospital for
the care Of soldiers. This institution
has been the cause Of complaint. Inves-
legations have been made and the aban-
donmeut of the hospital is in keeping
with recommendations. Obtaining prop
err accommodations has been no easy
task for the bureau. and it cannot nov
he told how soon the last of the pa
tients can be sent elsewhere but the as
surance that the change is to be madf
shows that those charged with the re-
sponsiSility Of looking out for the cars
OF the disabled are not disFegardlne
the attitude Of the country regarding
the provision of all that is necessary foi
the comfort and treatment of the disa
5led.
Handling such large problems has its
handfcaps but just such orders as tina
concerning the Ststen Island hospital &
there eliminated the causes for criti
cism, who'he~ tho '7.lened TO be en-
tirely jpstihed or not.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Need FOR Humane Work.
Rlr. Editor: Within the past month
two items have appeared in Letters to
the Editor" regarding humane activities
IN Norwich. Both articles draw atten-
ton to the need of a paid agent Per-
maps It Is not generally known that of
ficers from headquarters in Hartford
are frequently in the Norwich district
in answer to requests to investigate
Doth neglect of children and the abuse
OF animals. Twice this past week calls
from Norwich necessitated visits both
IN town and in surrounding territory. l
think 1 may say without hesitation that
lack CT means 70 open an office in the
NorWich-New London district is the
only reason that one has not already
been established. But it ought to be
Understood that there is a, pressing need
for humane work in many other parts
of the state and its development must
be largely regulated by the several To-
calities.
Within the past year in the Stamford
Greenwich district a local committee
stirred III wide enthusiasm and raised
4 considerable sum of money which
promptly resulted in a. part time agent
being employed. Much good work is te
be widely extended. Undoubtedly some
similar plan in Norwich is quite feasi
hle and all that it lacks to carry &
through is to find few interested per
sons to take hold of the organization q
such a committee and then lend theil
