b0RAH ATTACKS
PACIFIC TREATY
BY AID Of RADIO
Several Thousand Wire
less Amateurs in Ada
cent States Listen in.
Says Far East Problem
Can Be Solved by Sig
natories Behaving.

Washington. Jan. 1.-(By The As
soriated Press).-His words spread
by wireless through adjacent states,
Senator Borah, republican of Idaho,
speaking here Sunday. submitted what
be described as test of whether the
four-power peace treaty was based
on justice and was therefore peace
alliance, or based on force and, there
fore, a military alliance" Several
thousand amateur and commercial
wireless operators within 200 miles
of Washington listened m on the
address.
The test which Mr.. Borah offered
was whether supporters Of the treaty
were willing to accept reservations by
which the powers would agree to re-
store within one year AMI thereafter
ever to respect the rights, interests,
territory and sovereignty of all ma
tons. or governments in the region Of
the Pacific.' He added to that the
further provision that should the
agreement to restore and respect
such interests be not observed. obi
cations under Article 2 would be
terminated automatically"
Signers Sole Aggressors, He Says
He asserted that the "aggressions
in the far east for so years have been
on the part of nations, or rather gov
ernments. which have now signed an
alliance TO prevent aggression. lie
charged that it was the members Of
the alliance" and not those nations
outside of it who have disregarded the
rights of other nations and peoples in
the Pacific in recent years.
THE disturbances in the far east.
he continued, "and the things which
threaten war arise out Of failure of
the nations now proposing an alliance
to regard the rights of other nations
and not out of acts of those excluded
from the alliance.
IF the nations to be members of this
alliance would hand back to the ma
tions and peoples the territory, the
rights and the lberaties they have
taken, from them, the war clouds in
the far east would disappear.
Mr.. Borah declared it would be
"ci.ime not only against our own peo-
pie, but crime against millions in
the far east" for the United States to
join an alliance if "aggressions" are
to continue in the 10 years of the
agreements life as they have taken
place in the past" He argued that it
was wrong to ask the American pee
pie to guarantee protection against
disturbances and war which may he
brought about or inspired by members
of an alliance itself"

JUDGE WEEKS DECISION

Judge J, E. Weeks does not feel at
this time that he should forsake
work to which he has devoted a vast
deal of his time and much serious
thought to engage in politics, and with
this decision on his part it becomes
an assured fact that he will not be
candidate for gubernatorial honors.
As director of state institutions,
Judge Weeks has done remarkably
good work He has removed his de-
partment from the hampering inhu
ences of politics and has proceeded
with an able and earnest administra-
ton of the states institutions.
AS time goes on the problems to be
solved become increasingly difficult.
During the coming year there is i'm
portant building to be done and Judge
Weeks is the one man who has given
the thought and time to the con-
sideration of the requirements, that
are essential to the fulfillment of any
program. To leave his work now for
a struggle for political honors he no
doubt feels would be leaving work
unfinished And to leave a thing un-
finished does not conform with the
Judges standards of living. Coming
to a question of two separate and dis
tinCt paths, one the continuance of
work far-reachng in importance and
humanitarian in nature, and the other
a quest for a high honor in the field
of state politics, Mr.. Weeks follows
what he deems the path of duty to
his state He obeys the dictates of a
high conscience. He continues a work
to which he seems peculiarly well
fitted and adapted.

Major to Dr. Moody there may be a
bit of misunderstanding. 1t may also
be that DR.. Moody's speech as it APP
peared in the public prints might not
have been quite accurately tran
scribed. Often times there is consid
cradle difference in a speech as one
delivers it and the black and white
reproduction that appears in print.
In this particular instance there might
be such a thing as an eXaggeratiou of
President Moody's antagonsm to the
measure.
By way of clearing the atmosphere,
by way of effecting a reconciliation, at
least by way of receiving enlighten-
ment on a paramount question, what
could be better than a debate, fer
which a generous admission could be
charged, between these two prominent
citizcn-soldiers on the pros and cons
of the compensation bill, to be talked
off for the benefit of the Middlebury
Post of the American Legion
1t would be a most effective method
of filling up the too empty Golfers of
the local post. We will agree to furnish
a thousand tickets. Who'll furnish the

Our Genial Judges

The appearance of Judge Wilcox be-
fore the st. Johnsbury College Club
and his willingness to give a most in
forming address upon timely theme
shows how in recent year, the attitude
between the bench and the people has
changed for the better 1t used to be
true not many years ago that when a
Judge presided at a term OF court he
seemed to feel it necessary to be eX-
elusive, keeping alooi from all except
those he met in the court room His
acquaintance in the community was
very limited. Few knew him or cared
about his coming and going. Today
the members of both our Supreme and
Superior courts are good mixers as well
as good jurists; they enjoy meeting
the people and the pleasure is mutual.
Many Of them are appearing at pub
lie and semi-private functions, as Judge
Wilcox has done twice while in St.
Johnsbury, and brought to such gath
erings a pleasing personality. It's re-
freshing sign of the times that is good
for both the Court and the people

WHO'LL FURNISH THE HALL

Following a speech made i'll Burling-
ton last week by President Moody in
which he made known the fact that he
was not in favor of the measure be-
fore Congress for adjusted soldier COM
pensation, Major H. Nelson Jackson,
national vice-Commander of the Le-
gion, one of the Country's most promi-
nent Legionaires, and man who is
heart and soul with the boys who
served their flag in the late war, took
strong exceptions to his attitude and
to his remarks.
Major Jackson is devoting most of
his time and considerable money to
the cause of the service man, so en-
thusiastiC is he in his efforts to better
conditions. President Moody, him
self an overseas man, must also have
in his heart a tender feeling for the
soldier. 1t does not seem possible
that with his experience and associa-
tions it could be otherwise. As Le-
gionaires, too, the Major and the Pres
ident must have great respect for one
another.
When all conditions are fairly
viewed it seems to us that there should
be no hesitancy in granting adjusted
compensation, nor does it seem right
or just to call the passage of the bill
'the placing of a price on patriotism"
Adjusting the compensation of the SOL
diers who fought and bled is something
entirely removed from a question OF
their patriotism. However, it is quite
possible that anent the reply Of the

FOOTE'S CANDIDACY

Lieut.-Gov Abram W. Foote, who
for several months past has been in
the governorship trench with one foot,
now brings the other foot up alongside
and stands at attention The announce
ment this week that he is to be pos
itively and undeniably a candidate
comes not so much as a break" of
news. 1t is more formal confirmation
of a position that was quite generally
known to be fact.
Judge Foote, with a pledge of friend
ship not only in his own county of
Addison, but all over the state as well,
has many strong and influential friends
throughout Vermont who have been
very confident for several months past
that his candidacy was logical, prac-
teal and assured His strength and his
support is greater and more far-reaCh-
ing than one at first thought might
concede. Kindly disposed toward the
farmer and consistently conservative in
legislation, his record has been such as
to ward off antagonism from a rank
and file of voters.
Judge Foote chose a wise course in
his announcement to the people of the
state He does not claim any quick,
quack cure for all ills He does not
pretend to have any prescription up
his generous sleeve for paneCea equal
ly effective for untitled farms, rusted
smoke stacks, taxation burdens or
washboard roads. There is an element
of simplified, unpretentious common
sense, however, in his unadorned plat
form that will undoubtedly cement the
friendship that he already has remark
ably well established. Judge FOote
not only is Cognizant of the need of
retrenchment in state expenditures but
further states that if he gets the sup
port of the right kind of a legislature
he can guarantee that there will be no
SlOO state tax. This is providing, of
course, that he should be elected gov
ernor. He briefly makes known his
stand for a pay-as-you-go policy for
highway construction and declares his
kindly feelings toward the service man
and the working man. Neither does
he leave out that essential faith in
Vermont and Nermonters There is
admittedly nothing at all of a start
ling nature in Mr.. Foote's platform.
Nevertheless, there is running through
it all the plain ambition of man who
desires to give the state a practical,
economical administration reconcilable
with a forward-looking policy. AS the
Free Press admits, the Judge has taken
a position on the overshadOwing ques-
tons that it will be exceedingly diff
cult to gainsay,
Mr.. Foote will be strongly supported
in Addison county in his candidacy,
and his backing is further strengthened
with the removal of any possibility of
another candidate in the county In
on the ground floor, as it were, Abe
Foote at the present time has the field
all to himself. Should anyone decide
to come onto the mat with him now,
he will meet a man who has secured to
himself a fairly firm foundation.

PRESERVE THE HISTORY

The controversy over that somewhat
far-fetChed idea that certain influences
are working toward an ultimate Brit
ish- American Union has been extend
ed to our public schools by the
extremists Extremists are of two kinds,
those who would have us believe that
radical pro-British Americans are at
tempting to force a more kindly feeling
toward England by advocating a re-
writing of the American school his
tories of the Revolutionary period, and
those who would still more highly color
the pen pictures Of the exploits Of The
American heroes of that period.
Without in any way attempting to
minimize or belittle the struggles of
cur early heroes, we frankly confess
that more accuracy might be attained
by rewriting our early history i'll con-
formitv with cold-blooded fact There
is probably no doubt but that some of
the exploits of those early days are
considerably exaggerated i'll the form
in which they are passed out to the
American youth The battles of the
Revolution as they are rehearsed are
made to read like tremendously heavy
engagements, while, with few posi-
BILE exceptions, they were not.
Washington, struggling with almost
super-human energy to get together
handful of fighting men, had difficulty
in finding the self-denying, do or die
patriots that are so lauded in the grade
classroom. Slackers, they are by no
means a new breed, he encountered on
every hand, while there were countless
instances of double-faced patriots,
whose pockets were lined with the
Kings gold.
There is no question but that we
have been taught to overland our pa
triot sires. But that is no reason for
altering the present method OF in
structing the American child in the
first days of his country's history The
Revolutionary period teens with in
cidents dramatic in the extreme. 1t
contains also a few heroic characters
like Washington A recounting OF the
exploits, even if they are somewhat
embellished over actual fact, form a
basis for the craving of fundamental
patriotism on the minds and in the
hearts of the American child. If they
do this they serve a noble purpose and
should be preserved as they have al
ways been taught, without any
attempt at alteration for the sake OF
correcting inaccurate detail.
