would have been bound in common
prudence to watch it. Great Britain
has been relieved of the necessity
of safeguarding the fresh water
frontier of the Dominion.
The absence of warships has un-
questionably had an effect in render
ing land forces unnecessary along
the land boundary to the west of the
great lakes. Had there been Ameri-
can and British fleets on the lakes in
civil war days the maintenance of
peace between the British Empire
and the American Republic would cer-
tainly have been even more difficult
than it was.
Conditions have changed greatly
since the Rush-Bagot stipulation was
entered into. Revision of it's terms
to meet modern requirements may
be desirable. Yet it's successful func-
tioning through more than century,
in the course Of which number of
irritating controversies have arisen
between Great Britain as an empire
and the United States, as well as be-
tween the Dominion of Canada and
the United States, provides evidence
that peace between nations is not en-
tirely dependent on exact and ex-
plicit declarations Of treaties. The
outgrown provisions Of the Rush
Bagot stipulations have served the
purpose of the countries because the
peoples of those countries wanted
peace and looked for opportunity to
obey their treaty obligations and
not for excuses to evade them.
BY all means let the diplomats Of
the United States and of Canada con-
fer on the needs of their countries.
Such conference can be productive
OF nothing except good when only
good will animates the conferees, as
good will does to-day.
The New York herald., 1922-07-16
A Good Cause.

Every community owes something
to it's firemen, but it is not always
easy to convey appreciation of their
service in cefinite form. New York
has Fire Department which is ex-
ceptionally worthy, and as it happens
there is an opportunity for every
citizen who respects its record to
make his appreciation positively felt.
The opportunity is In helping the
Firemens Honor Emergency Fund.
Two years ago six firemen lost
their lives in a Brooklyn fire, and at
that time the fund was started by the
members of the department to aid the
families of these men and Of others
who might meet similar misfortunes.
Later the scope of the fund was
widened to pay the expense Of surgi-
cal operations and of the nursing Of
the sick and disabled.
The fund now amounts to 500,
and the income from that is not
enough to meet all the demands upon
it. At Ebbets Field on July 20, 21
and % there will be baseball games
between the New York and Chicago
Fire Departments. The receipts go to
the fund.

in the temperate and regretful tone
of his message denying Chicago's re-
quest. He admitted that there would
be no more risk of physical mishap
to the relic in sending it to Chi
cago now than there had been in its
many other long journeys. But that
there is some element of danger in all
such transportation is evident. The
danger may be slight, but 1t is one
which the custodians Of this national
heirloom do not feel that they are
justified in incurring.
In addition it is evident that the
journeyings of the bell must come to
an end some time, and Mayor MOORE
believes that that time is now.
The New York herald., 1922-07-16
Liberty Bell Stays at Home.

The Liberty Ben will not 60 to the
Chicago Pageant Of Progress Exposi-
tioh. After the Philadelphia City
Council had passed resolution in
favor of adding this to the BELLS many
other patriotic pilgrimages, Mayor
MOORE gave public hearing on the
subject. Then he took the matter un-
der advisement, with the result that
he not only vetoed the Councils ac-
ton but committed himself to the
fatfooted statement that during his
administration at least the Liberty
Bell should go neither to Chicago nor
anywhere else.
Whatever may be thought Of the
wisdom of this decision, the Mayors
moral courage in taking the stand he
did is not TO be questioned. The
pressure used to obtain his consent
was very great. A committee rep
resenting Chicago, backed by petit
tion signed by 3,400,000 school chill
dren of seven different States in the
Middle West, has been for many
weeks bringing every available argu-
ment to bear upon him. The stand
ard pleas as to the educational and
inspirational value Of an exhibition
of the relic were presented with ex-
ceptional eloquence.
The weight of these arguments the
Philadelphia Mayor could not deny.
Equally impossible was IL for him to
deny that in refusing to let the bell
go he was disregarding numerous
precedents. AS a matter of fact, the
bell has been carried from one end
OF the country to the other. 1t has
twice crossed the continent in its
Journey to and from San Francisco.
n has been exhibited IN Chicago, At
arta, New Orleans, st. Louis and
other points east, west, north and
south. That Chicago should ask its
presence in the Pageant OF Progress
was in accord with precedent. To re-
fuse the request was to break with
what had become virtually a fixed
usage
That the Mayor of Philadelphia
fully appreciated all this is evident
