A PEST IN COLLAPSE

JOIlN RANDOLPH, Of Roanoakc. was
y described by one Of his most discerning
contemporaries as "a nuisance and a curse. "
1t was mental rather than moral obliquity
with which that Borah-like statesman was
tainted. Hence the analogy with IIoratio
Bottomley. the vtrulent anti American,
pest and marplot OF English politics and
journalism, is incomplete.
Bottomley is unique. In public life he
has dcliled whatever he has touched. His
superficial brilliancy has intensified his
appeal to the ignoblest forces Of dcmagogy
and the most detcstabe and ignorant strata
Of public opinion in England.
Now it is announced that, although Par

presence his fatulcnt weekly John Bull,

lie has quit John Bull. which, with the

bankruptcy proceedings and there are grave
hints OF criminal charges in impending
lawsuits arising from his fimsy stock pro-
motion and fiambOyant bond schemes.
England is to be congratulated il Bottom =
ley is relegated TO dishonOrabe Obscurity.
The amazing feature Of his career is that his
downfall was 50 long deOye and that his
capacity for wreakIng harm was so favored.

THE ACE OF CONFERENCES

YYyHE possibility exists that the Admins

for the first part Of his Administration.
The call for a national Conclave to con
p4der the agricultural problems Of the Coun-
Asy is the third in the significant series which
r. fan with the unemployment conference
and was balanced in the middle by the
Ward,rable disarmament sessions.
Scarhe latest parley, scheduled for Friday of
Ills week in the national capital. will prob
Rbly be conducted on lines similar to those
laid down in the discussion of unenpov-
MsRt.,,
n Temporary conditions will be considered
by experts of many classes. The endeavor
wlll be made to determine general policies
and finally to deal with conditions OF
permanent nature.
The situation. however. differs somewhat
from It's predecessors in its recognition Of

W.sn, notably in the West, are imperatively

fare proposed BY Ellhu Root which suggests
a possible course Of constructive action by
the society Of some fifty nations.
Harmony regarding the reafirmation OF
existing rules of naval warfare and the pro-
hibition, in the reiterated code, OF subma-
rinc attacks on merchant ships has already
been reached in Washington. Even the
French. who have blocked the apportionment
of reduced ratios for U-boats, have in
dorsed the indictment Of sheer barbarity
after the German model.
But Mr.. Root rightly hopes for additional
pledges. The concurrence OF the five prin-
cipal Powers represented in Washington is
not enough. The program will. 1t is said
include an invitation urging the co operation
Of all nations.
A magnificent opportunity for the League
TO do its part is thus in prospect. Save for
Russia, Turkey, Mexico. Germany and the
United States, the Geneva organization in
cludes all the leading Governments of the
world
1t is we'll known that the disarmament
prescriptions Of the Covenant have been
untouched pending decisions in Washing
ton. Responsibility is now shifted to the
League, the prestige Of which would be i'm
mensely enhanced by supporting with all the
force of its large membership Mr.. Roots
codiication Of International Marine Law
respecting under-sea craft
The machinery of the League is precisely
fitted for securing the assent Of the many
Governments as yet unpledged.
II the League is true to its ideals, and
especially those relating to disarmament, 1t
should derive new inspiration from the mo-
mentous conference held in the capital city
of n non member nation.

INSPIRATION FOR THE LEAGUE

CONSIDERATIONS of expcdiency upon
- which it is needless to expatiate have
excluded the League Of Nations as tonic
falling within the scope Of the Disarmament
and Pacific Conference. The silence pre.
served on this point has been non com
initial rather than ill-tempercd. No dam
age whatever has been done by restricting
the abOrs of the parley to the particular
objects for which it was called.
When the next sessions of the League are
held. however. il is highly unlikely that
reticence concerning the achievements Of
the Washington cOnclave will prevail.
Everything accomplished in the arms meet
ing has an important bearing upon the
position and field of the League and in
some instances, the connection is extremely
intimate.
Article yViil Of the Covenant expressly
reGuirPs that every treaty or international
engagement entered into by any member ma =.
ton shall be registered with the secreta rist
and that no such compact shall be bind .
ing until so registered"
On this score no difficulties need be an.
ticipated. Assuming ratifcations copies of
the American Japanese Treaty concerning

the Five-PO Limitation of Armaments

post made vacant by the death of Mr.. Ernest
Tustin, was the new appointee himself,
Major Barclay Harding Warburton.
I have reason to know that he and other
men and women in the city were eIertius
themselves to bring the merits of quite
another citizen before the Mayor in the hope
that he would regard their suggestions fa-
vorably. But in this case the Mayor made
his own choice. firmly passing over all sug.
gestions, Mr.. Warburton's among them, and
as he has had an opportunity now for six
months to observe his new Director in
new and very difficult piece Of work in the
Department Of Public Safety as Commits
sioner of Police, and as the Office of the
Commissioner was adjacent to that of the
Mayor and the two officials were often in
consultation, It is to be presumed that the
new appointment was not decided upon by
the Chief Executive of the city without
plenty of knowledge of the man and of his
power to make good.
