nouncing that the Germans would ac-

general Russian question would be
such as to permit of further hopeful
negotiations, declared his unshakable
conviction that the Genoa conference
would prove great success.
He believed that it would restore
harmony in Europe and was supremely
confident that before adjourning it
would adopt an agreement whereby all
the nations of Europe would bind
themselves not to commit acts of ag-
gression against neighboring countries.
"Such a pact" he exclaimed, sis an

that the Germans would be expected
not to sit on the commissions which
henceforth will deal with Russian

already settled their affairs with Rus

continued the premier, "but 1 would
be surprised If it were not of such a
character as to permit us to go on
with our work of reconstruction of the
convulsed and devastated continent"
Mr.. Lloyd George emphasized that
everybody was on an equal footing at
Genoa, and that the Germans had a
place on all the commissions which
were to discuss the accord affecting
Russia and all nations To make a
separate pact behind the back of their
colleagues, was an act of disloyalty
on the part of the Germans.

Uncle Sam May Join Reparation Board

porated in the senate resolution of
October 1S. 1921, by which the senate
ratified the separate treaty between
the United States and Germany.
This reservation, which was later
included i'm the Presidents proclama-
tion, provided that the United States
shall not be represented or participate
In any body. agency or commission.
nor shall any person represent the
United States as member Of any
body, agency or commission In which
the United States is authorized to par
ticipate by this treaty unless and until
an act of the congress of the United
States shall provide for such represen-
tation or participation"
Thus the administration holds that
under the specific language of the SEN
ate's ratification resolution the initia-
tive is clearly LEFT with congress and,
it Is argued. suggestions from sena-
tors or congressman that the Presi-
dent should go ahead and name rep
resentative and transmit the name to
the senate for ratification are clearly
beside the point.
Senator Underwood recently de-
clared in the senate that the only way
for the United States to get any part
of the German reparation payments
was to get representation on the al
lied reparation commission.

Americas Need of Big Merchant Ships

n CTUAL naval strength of the
\ United States In case of war
would be greatly inferior to that of
Great Britain, Notwithstanding the
American and British navies are
placed ON a practically equal basis by
the naval treaty agreement, declared
Senator Ransdell of Louisiana in a
speech.
Speaking on the naval disarmament
treaty and the legislation designed to
extend government aid to American
shipping. Senator Ransdell, who is
president of the National Merchant
Marine association, pointed out that
navy, without adequate support
from ifs national trade fleet, is prac-
hcally powerless.
'"There i3 only one way for naval
equality TO be realized" he said, "and
that is for America to make material
additions TO It's commercial fleet Swift
vessels OF commerce, carrying both
freight and passengers, having
epeed In excess of 10 to 20 knots
preferably 20 knots and overland
from 10000 to $4,000 tons are most eff
fectlve as auxiliaries to the navy in
time of war"
How Great Britain stands in rela
ton TO the United States on the basis
of such ships is shown in the follow

sented by Senator Ransdell giving the

in other words" Mr.. Ransdell said,
"Great Britain has about three times
as many ships capable of being used
as high-grade naval auXiliaries us the
United States has He pointed out
that if our commercial marine is to
remain at its present level. so far as
these fast ships are concerned, then

Queer Attitude of Congress.

The whole trend of things in Wash
ington today seems to be toward the
doing away with anything which looks
like defense for the people or the prop
critics of the United States. Military
authorities, and the administration it
self, are fearful of the danger which
would threaten the Panama canal in
case of trouble, even with small
power. If the United States were to
have some little difficulty with a
minor country on this continent, there
would be nothing to do to prevent that
minor country from sending an air.
plane over the Panama canal to do
its work of bombing destruction.
Judging from what has happened it
seems likely that the President and
his war secretary will have trouble in
securing sanction for their plan to pro-
vide means to protect the great water
way from at least partial destruction
ia case of war or threatened war with
any country anywhere. The canal cost
millions; it is essential to the safety
of the United States in case of attack.
and 1t is essential to the regeneration

possible methods of defending the Pan

the chief law officer of the government
to recommend that an industrial and

President Harding has given the plan
his sanction.
The bare news of the proposal al
ready has been printed. 1t may not
be unlnteresting to know that criini-
nologsts think that, IL the records
could be obtained in full and studied
carefully, II would be found there are
fewer young second offenders against
the federal law than there are against
the state laws.
OF course nearly every federal law
has state law somewhat similar TO
1t. and perhaps a better way to pun
the matter would be to say that the
belief seems to be that in proportion

have served their terms in state pris-
