THReADBARE ISOLATION

IL writer Of fiction would promptly reject:

through G. b can secure his share Of the
funds owed to both parties by A IL will
confer with o in order to reach an adjust.
ment. But b will not enter the same room
with @. @ Is not inclined to assist B when
B displays an aversion to direct contact
with the realities of the case. If B will not
look out for himself, as is his right, O is
disposed to be Indifferent. But B is not
satisfied with this attitude and Is agsrieved
that O will not specifically plead BIS cause,
which B refuses to defend by means Of ex.
pressly provided machinery.
No novelist or dramatist would dare to
motivate his story after this pattern. Fic-
tion, even the most romantic. must retain a
semblance Of credibility. Life is different
and more unaccountable; politics, stranger
still.
The impossible situation suggested above
Is precisely the one in which the Govern.
ment Of the United States is placed because
of its abstention from the Commission on
Reparations from Germany. The European
chancelleries are puzzled, not so much by
Secretary Hughes presentation of a bill
Tor American army costs on the Rhine, a
claim which is justly founded, as by the
VI tuS NuAtcu States 70 bSSume any
responsibilities in the reparations adjust
ment.
The right to participate in the financial
councils Of the major allied Powers Is Sc.
cured to this country by the separate treaty
of peace with Germany. BY reservation
affixed to that instrument by the Senate
there Is vested in Congress alone the power
TO control American participation. No
ohcial representative of this Government
can sit with the Reparations Commission
until Congress passes a special act specifi.
cally authorizing the appointment Of q dele.
gate and until the Senate confirms the nomi.
nation.
1t is understood that both the President
and Mr.. Hughes are keenly desirous of con.
gressional action extricating the Govern.
ment from ridiculous situation. There are
Indications that the cloak Of isolation, long
the favorite garment of the Senate, is
wearing little thin. But the robe is alb
surdiy out Of style and should be discarded
altogether.
The presence of an authoritative Ameri.
can representative on the Reparations Com.
mission is demanded by the logic of a situa-
tion which might be called unacceptable If
the policy of wriggling away from realities
had not been so persistently pursued.
MIR. Harding, 1t is said, Is waiting for
Congress to show some sign of intelligence
in the matter. The ratification of the Four.
Power Treaty indicates revival of legisla.
tive common sense. The return to sanity
is worth encouraging.
The only way to atone for the obstruc.
tionary, stupid and narrow minded reserva,
tion attached to the Dresel- Rosen treaty is
the passage by Congress of an act restoring
the right of this Government to speak for
itself. Dog the -manger tactics have run
the usual course to qualification.

MEXICAN PROSPECTS

A LTHOUGH the Federal Administration
n has of late refrained from definite pro-
nouncements concerning Mexico, there are
increasing indications that accord with the
Obregon Government is under way. Pass
ports in Mexico are no longer required for
Americans. The elimination of this nuisance
is step of progress.
Further evidence of the growing stability
of conditions In the neighboring republic is
revealed in the communication sent to Pres.
ident Harding by John Barrett, former d.
rector general of the Pan American Union.
He reports the response Of many distin.
guished Latin American statesmen, pub.
licists and representative men on the sub.
ject of the re-entry Of Mexico into the Dip
lomatic family. The 141. replies received
from 200 inquiries dispatched are agreed In
urging the early recognition of Mexico by
the United States.
1t is essential, of course that some ar.
rangement for the adjustment OF compensa.
ton claims be reached before this decisive
step can be taken But prospects for the
solution of this problem seem to be brighten
ing, although considerable mystery still
surrounds the facts
Moreover, American relations with Mexico
are something more than the concern of the
two principal parties. A recognition policy
could not fail to react favorably upon Pan.
American sympathies and constructive un-
derstanding.

A MARITIME WARNING

CONGRESSIONAL concern over the Pa

emily relegated the ship subsidy program 70

Yet Mr.. Harding's plan was submitted at
time of crisis in American shipping. ar a
time when the vast possibilities of the mer
chant marine We're, as they still are, Sc
riously imperlled.
The shipping interests Of the country are
awaiting an adjustment Of conditions which
have rapidly grown confused and onerous.
The reality of the burden is pointedly mani

passenger line plying between this country
and Australia.

Company, has notified the Federal Govern

ice will be abandoned.
It is naturally to be expected that pri-
vate shipping concerns will strive to secure
the maximum Of privilege and subventiop,
But an authentic threat to abandon opera
tion plainly suggests that the difficulties of
the case are extreme.
The Government through the Shipping
Board, has expended fortunes in opening
new passenger routes on the Pacific The
Subsidy Bill now in Congress aims to give
more Intelligent direction to this aid. But
legislative speed is necessary to offset the
still powerful forces of disntegration.

AMERIcANISM: NEW STYLE

TN GEORGIA the leaders of the Kp Klpx
L klan seem to have taken to their kaye.
But their work goes on merrily in Texas
and other parts of the South, where fog
gings and tar-and feather parties continue
to be the rule. In one Texas town a church
Is to be burned and religious riots are
threatening. In another an aged man is in
danger Of death because he was brutally
beaten by a masked mob. Ku Kluxers think
nothing nowadays of interrupting the reli.
gious services in any church and marching
to the pulpit with message of commenda-
ton or command.
Florida Is not far from Georgia, where
Wizard Simmons builded the temple and the
counting house from which, for a price, he
was going to purify the United States by
hate and direct government by the dullest
sort of fanaticism. Yet it is in Florida that
the lordliest Of all bootlegging scandals has
been uncovered. We aren't going to pre-
tend that Pennsylvania is land of promise
or that any hint of wings may be discovered
upon Pennsylvania political boss. But it
is only fair to say that the eminently re.
spectables in Florida, who were preparing to
use millions to outwit the Federal Govern.
ment by the sale Of smuggled hooch, were
ringleaders in a scheme that overshadows in
a hundred ways the whisky scandal now in
process Of being hushed up here.
Did the kleagles of virtue overlook
Florida? Was there more money for them
in the North?

A GOOD START FOR THE HALL

THE initial attempt to block the Victory
i Convention Hall program with techni.
calities has ended in the passage In Council
of a $4,000 appropriation for the collec-
tion Of preliminary data for the work. This
is a commendable start upon the project
authorized by the voters at the last election.
The legal points raised by Messrs. Roper
and Develin appear to be mainly speculative.
il Is contended by these Councilmen that
the County Commissioners cannot be author
ized to levy special tax for the under
taking. but as considerable funds already
are in hand for the work, it is unlikely that
the extraordinary assessment will ever be
made.
II an opinion by the City Solicitor Is
necessary, there is, nevertheless. no reason
why the work provided for in the modest
inaugural appropriation should be halted.
In this connection it Is gratifying to note
that some Of the money will be expended
for an architects competition.
This is the right way to begin public
buildings in this city. The Victory Hall IN
particular demands by its very nature the
display Of intelligent constructive judgment,
sound artistry and good taste.
There is no deficiency Of capable. we'll
trained architects in the Nation. What has
so frequently been lacking is opportunity for
fitting exhibition of their high talents.

THE coYNESS OF THE GREAT

MODERN philosophers claiming at least
lxl a nodding acquaintance with the cos
mic and the infinite Wells or Bernard
Shaw, for instance-have repeatedly casti-
gated contemporary statesmen for their
blindness to the teachings of history.
That is as may be. But IL the lessons of
the Peloponnesian War or the Rise of Islam
have perhaps been ignored by principals in
the international whirligig, their conscious.
ness of more recent happenings appears to
have been sharpened. The conference of
Premiers' at Genoa Is fast losing the valid
ity Of that magnificent title
Raymond Poincare expects to be busy at
home and will send a substitute. Senator
Schanzer will represent the Prime Minister
of Italy. George Tchitcherin will speak for
Nicolai Lenine. The latter is described as
nervous" distressed by heart palpitations
and furthermore, convinced that he will
carry more weight by telegraph and radio
than If he were seated at the conference
table.
There may be more in this whole situation
than meets the casual eye. Since the war
but two national leaders have taken part in
international concaves of the first order.
Mr.. Wilson went to Paris and his program

CLEANING HOUSE IN NEW YORK

TWO brokers have been suspended from
i the New York Stock Exchange for
making practice of taking the side of the
market opposite to their customers. This
is technical way of describing what hap
pens in bucket shop, where the proprietor
bets against his customer on the rise or fall
Al securities.
The rule under which the two brokers
were suspended was not adopted until Au.
gust of last year, although the Stock Ex-
change has long professed that it was op.
posed to bucketing.
What is needed in this city is the en-.
forcement of similar rule by the local
exchange. But there is greater need for the
enforcement of the State law against
bucket shops. which makes not only the
bucketing broker but also the telegraph or
telephone company which supplies him with
quotations liable to punishment.
There Is law enough to drive the swim
dlers out of business, but no one seems dis
posed to apply it

AN ARGUMENT FROM ABROAD,

TNHE House of Commons has begun the
i British naval-reduction program upon
the confessed assumption that the Five
Power Disarmament Treaty will be ratified
in Washington. The hypothesis is not only
an emphatic tribute to American fair play
and honor, but 1t serves also as a vigorous,
practical argument in support of the prompt
passage of the naval pact by the Senate Of
the United States.
Mr. Amery, financial and parliamentary
secretary to the Admiralty, has inserted in
his report the qualification that ''if by any
grave mischance the treaty should not be
ratified" the British naval estimates would
be subject to revision. ..
The case could not be stated more plainly,
nor could the obligation Of the United States
to carry out naval reduction project Of
its own creation be more significantly ex-
pressed.
Such pestiferous Senators as may be
vexed because England has taken the initia-
five will be under the necessity of proving
that competitive ornaments are preferable
to a cooperative policy of peace without
oppressive naval burdens
