Massachusetts.

Mr.. Lodge is booked for some cam
paign this year. He will draw fire on
several accounts. ---
He is his party's leader in the Sen
ate. For that reason he is a shining
mark. The effect Of his defeat would
be national. The democracy every
where would point to it as indicative
Of coming national events.
He was foremost in the fight on the
treaty Mr.. Wilson brought back from
Paris. In the Senate and out he was
held responsible by the Wilsonites for
the complications that resulted in the
failure Of the treaty. Mr.. Lodge would
not have the treaty without reserva-
tions, and Mr.. Wilson would not have
it with those Mr.. Lodge proposed and
which the Senate adopted.
He is now serving as delegate to
the armament conference. and when
the results Of that tribunal are sub.
mitted to the Senate by President
Harding he will lead in the proceed
ings looking to their ratification. The
prospects are favorable for a warm
tussle, with Mr.. Lodge prominently in
the picture while it lasts; and it may
last several months. He will probably,
therefore, go almost direct from this
tussle to the stump asking for the
Judgment of his constituents on his
course.
In November. 1920, Massachusetts
gave the republican national ticket
over four hundred thousand majority.
She is normally republican. and has
not once failed Mr.. Lodge since he
first offered for political honors. He
had four terms as a member Of the
House before entering the Senate, and
has sat in the latter body continuously
since March 4, 1898, nearly twenty
nine years. It will be his sixth term
he will enter upon If reelected in, No.
vember.
Mr.. Lodge is approaching his seven.
ty.second birthday, and looks as fit
:nhysically as at any time the past
score Of years.

Stolen Savings.

Some months ago man out in the
west lost the savings Of lifetime
when thieves visited his house. and he
told the police later that he had kept
his cash in his house because he was
afraid Of banks. Something perhaps
of the same thought may have caused
a local man to keep his savings in a
steel box in his home. A thief dis
covered it and now it is gone, probably
beyond recovery.
It is rather astonishing to find such
cases nowadays. with the banking in
stitutions so fully safeguarded against
failureDand loss, with SO many posi-
bilities for sound investment. It would
seem that the banking and investment
lessons had been sufficiently taught.
Yet these cases arise from time to
time Of large sums taken from houses,
the accumu1ations Of years.
The $4,000 stolen from the Wash.
ington self.banker, il properly placed

ties. would probably have amounted
by this time to $4,000 or perhaps
$1,000 through accumulation Of inter-
est. Savings accounts at compound
interest increase steadily, and much
more rapidly than the rate suggests.
When q loss Of this kind occurs
through theft, or, as sometimes hap.
pens, through fire, the actual loss is
more than the face value Of the money.
In the first place the interest Is lost,
which, as stated, may amount to q
very considerable accretion. In the
second place the use Of that money is
lost to the community. It has been
wasted during long years Of its &C.
cumulation. Currency and coin are

A Broader American Policy.

FRANKFURT The Washington
conference has brought America back
into the community of peoples, ac-
cording to a writer in the Frank
furter Zeitung, who says:
"If we want to analyze objectively
the Importance Of the Pacific agree
ment obtained in consequence of the
Washington conference and sum
marize the results we should say
it has brought America back into the
community of peoples. The countries
which were struggling for the su-
premacy in the Pacific have Joined
together in one common idea. There
is a guarantee of peace for long
time to come on this distant ocean.
The agreement is certainly a wise
act, but it is only the beginning. 1t
only concerns the islands of the Pa,
cific, but does not touch on the great
differences of the Asiatic continent
or the Chinese and Siberian prob
lens Yet it is manifestation of
good will which cannot remain with
out influencing things. The Wash
ington conference is not yet at the
end of its work. but it will not be
able to satisfy the wishes of every
body. China is discontented and dis
illusioned because her sufferings
have not been appeased and because
this conference of dfplomatists pre-
ferred to maintain the status quo In
the interests of the great and the
powerful The Chinese people con-
sidered themselves sacrificed as at
Versailles. They forget that ideas
are worth more than facts. The Pa
cific agreement did not satisfy China.
but the idea which engendered it will
have influence on Chinese affairs.
One of the chief aims of the. confer
ence was to obtain peace in the Pa
cific; the agreement is the foundation
stone. Japan might also be dissatis-
fed She has made sacrifices and
concessions. and instead of being able
to lean on the alliance with England,
as formerly, she is now placed be-
tween the two Anglo-Saxon powers.
But Japan, who is not wanting in
far-sighted men, will realize that
moderation is preferable to competi-
ton At any rate, by joining the
agreement she has declared herself
ready to follow in these steps: The
Anglo japanese alliance no longer
exists to- divide America and. Eng
land. The United States and the
British Empire can now maintain a
friendly understanding. This is in
deed decisive turning to the his
torical evolution of The worlds his
tory
"America is only realizing very
slowly" concludes. the writer. what
has to be done to re-establish the
worlds economic situation, but 1t is
already a great blessing that she was
willing to sit at the conference table
to deliberate with other peoples on
the subject Thus the conclusion of
the Pacific agreement is not only in
teresting for those powers which
have interests on this ocean, but also
for Europe, and Germany. which is
Struggling under. terrible burdens,

Uruguay and Paraguay: in Sydney to

Mexico City. to cover Mexico. All of
these countries either produce a sur
plus OF one or more crops in compe-
tition with those Of the United States,
or are importing countries which
consume surplus farm products of the
United States.
What would the agricultural at

to warn the American producer on
matters affecting competition. on un-
favorable economic conditions, on
probable yields in the foreign coun-
try that would endanger the markets
for the American surplus; of new
methods Of production abroad. Second,

probable demands of other markets
for American surplus, and aiding the
American farmer in developing such
markets.

These attaches must be trained men,
