Mr.. LODGE LOOKS AHEAD

uENRY CABOT LODGE has been ac-
IL cused by his foes of not understanding
the Pacific and Disarmament Treaties, but
there is no evidence of any such lack Of com
prehcnsion in his views expressed in Boston
at meeting of the Massachusetts section
of the National Civic Federation.
Referring to the naval reduction com
pact, Mr.. Lodge explicitly said: ''Do not
imagine for moment that l think the
treaty is fnality. / think It Is n begin
ming, and very great beginning. l hope
and believe that this will lead to further
reductions by the Powers so that 1t will
bring them TO point where they will have
no more ships than are necessary to pro-
tcct their coasts and possesslons-what we
might call the police duty of the seas
Article VIII of the League of Nations
Covenant begins as follows: The mem
bers of the League recognize that the MAIN
tenance of peace requires the reduction Of
national armamcnts to the lowest point con-
slstent with national safety The League,
as is well known, has deferred consideration
OF this program while awaiting the results
OF tho Washington Conference The meas
ure OF achievement attained COMEDIES ad-
mlrably with one of the basic purposes Of
the international society.
The developments for which Mr.. Lodge
hopes could come with particular grace from
an ASSOCIATION structuraly fitted to take up
the task. The Senator from Massachusetts
has pointed the way.

THE CAPE MAY-LEWES FERRY

YERSEYITES OF the region which might
y be called the Far South have been having
great dream and now, for the time at
leeat, IL is over. 1t looked for while as
(, the plan for motor, freight and pas
sanser ferry between Lewes, Del, and Cape
Nav would he carried through without a
dey Of unnecessary delay. BY this means
II was intended to establish direct route
between Washington and the South and the
nstchless beaches OF Jersey.
All the people in the greatest OF vacation
Srateg have reasons To regret the temporary
collapse Of the scheme, which is abandoned
for the time being because of a lack of CAPT
tai and public interest Motor road and
rail systems now in existence tend to con-
centrate vacation crowds in the middle and
northern sections Of the Jersey coast
A Lewes-C Cape May ferry would Instantly
increase interest in the resorts below At
lsntic City and it would indirectly benefit
the whole State. Certainly 1t would enlarge
the summer life Of the coast by making It
more accessible to the people Of the South
ern coast States. who would be diverted IN
great numbers from summer resorts else
where by the establishment Of an easy way

PASSING 1T ALONG

THE United States is not the only hutlon
i which lent money 10 other nations dur
ing the war. Great Britain lent enormous
sums to France and TO Italy and to Greece
and to Russia. And France in turn helped
her allies, and Italy went to the relief Of
enc or another of the little Powers.
So when the United States demands the
payment Of interest from Great Britain she
starts something which does not stop in
London. Great Britain has already sent n
note to her allies announcing that as she has
agreed to pay the interest due TO America
she reserves the right to call on her allies
for the interest due on their debts 10 Great
Britain.
The natural consequence OF this note will
b. a note from France 10 her allies that she
reserves the right TO ask for payment of
interest due her, and SO on all along the line
The collection Of the interest due from
Great Britain thus becomes something more
than matter Of negotiation between Wash
ington and London, It's echo Will be heard
In every capital Of Europe.
Whether the Rcfunding Commission in
Washington has taken account OF this does
not appear, but it makes the settlement Of
the debt more complicated than has been
realized by thoS" earnest patriots who have
been insisting that we should make Europe
pay at once what We lent TO her.
