1.-THE outcome of the decision of the
senate to adopt the reservations of
the, protocol. The attitude. Of the
ministers was further Influenced
by the fact that the Chilean govern

that the United States would not
recognize any reservations that
might be added to the original
Washington agreement.

iignation of the Chilean cabinet and
rot the ratification Of the Tacna-
.4Arica protocol with reservations by
the senate caused a mild sensation
in Latin American circles here, al
though the development was not
entirely unexpected.
!: Chilean officials had received no
official Information of the senate
vote -nor:would they comment upon
the situation. Similarly Peruvian
officials declined to discuss the mat

Wan position long ago was made
known.
Press dispatches from Santiago

that the, United States would not

at length with Secretary Hughes
today but the nature Of the dis

WE SUGGEST PAYMENT.

Rather quietly notice has been sent to the allied nations that the Ameri- can debt refunding committee is ready to discuss arrangements looking toward conversion of the debts owed the United States, into long-term se- curities. Frankly the United States wants to remind France, somewhat trucuent at the moment, that matters should be settled.
 France feels that even arrange ments for the payment of her debt to us should be postponed until Ger many pays more on her debt to France France owes us some four teen billion gold francs. There is ow- ing to her, outside of German repar- atons. about nine billion gold francs. Germany's indebtedness to France is approximately sixty billion gold francs. Were Germany to pay even twenty five billion gold francs to France the latter nation would be in position to liquidate her indebtedness and have something over, regardless of pay ments from other nations.
 The slowness of France to make permanent arrangements for settling this matter, and the reason for the United States stand that those ar engagements should be made now. may be explained by consideration of the different viewpoints from which France and the United States see the Treaty of Versailles. The United States takes the position that we are not party to that treaty, therefore we have nothing to do with enforcing

POLICE AND RADIO

The International Association Of Chiefs of Police at it's convention in June will be the scene of discussions concerning the use of the radio by the police. #
 The possibilities should be ap- pallinG to criminals, gratifying to de- cent people.
 Paul Revere would never have had 10 take his famous ride had the coun- trysidc been equipped with radio broadcasting stations and with re- ceivers. The country could have been notified at once had there been some- one. on the watch for possible word, in each community
 Today it is not difficult to imagine each police station equipped with re- ceiving and sending instruments, the latter to be used only in case of emergency the former to be attended by an operator at all times, constant ly keeping in touch with the various nearby stations.
 Of course the radio would have to be perfected or system adopted by means of which all receiving stations would be able to receive news that might be sent out. There would be practical difficulties which would have to be met.
 But the germ of the idea-that it will be possible to give general notice of crime, or the escape of prisoner or other police news demanding at tention--indicates what the power of the radio may be in the field of crime prevention and the experimenting of criminals

"NO ACCIDENT" DRIVE.

Attention is called to the bulletin of the motor vehicle department. em- phasizing the No Accident Cam paign," being conducted in all large cities in the state. It is directed to "all chiefs of police and other per sons interested in the safety cam paign for less motor vehicle acci- dents.''
 In other words, it is directed to everyone, for everyone is interested in trying to prevent motor accidents.
 The bulletin calls attention to three matters, namely, reduction of speed at street intersections, where most of the accidents happen; seeking the continued use of the hand system of signals, even though the vehicle may be equipped with mechanical signal device: care in passing trolleys.
 As to care in passing trolleys and reducing speed especially in city streets, no comment is needed. All recognize the wisdom of such recom- mendations.
 The use of the hand signal is to be emphasized, however. No matter what mechanical device may be at

COMMUNICATION.

The commerce department al Washington is reported to be hasten ing its investigations into the under lying difficulties in the coal industry, such as intermittency of employment and irregularity Of production,
 The discussion of the coal situation yealcd pretty plainly, the 'underly- ling" trouble. If the commerce de- meeting the great, fundamental diff culties the 'investisations" will have been worth while,
 There are too many men employed in producing coal. There are, more than enough in the work needed to get the coal out of the ground which the people consume annually. As long as there are too many men wanting 10 do this. there must be times when some of them will be unemployed.
 Htlt dIS too illdlly iHillSS ptlilS dS- veloped or being prepared for devel- opment. As long as the consumers of coal have to pay for the development or the preparation for development of mines not needed now, in addition to paying for the mining of the coal that is needed and used, they will be pay ing too much.
 Correct these two evils and the consumer will have q chance of get ing his coal at fair price; the opera tors left in the industry. and the workers actually getting the needed coal out of the ground, will all pros- per There will be regularity of em- ployment at fair wages, and regularity of production.

taehed to motor vehicle, it cannot take the place of the hand in in- dlcatng what the driver intends to do next The bulletin gays, "The use Of mechanical system should, at the present stage, be auxiliary to the hand signal system, The most com mon form Of mechanical signal indi- cates the slowing down of the car when the brakes are applied but does not give a clear indication of what the driver has in mind to do next"
 This statement explains itself A plain indication Of what the driver intends to do is only fair and right. II will prevent many accidents. The human hand will be seen where q mechanical hand or other method of warning would pass unnoticed. En- forcement of and obedience 10 speed laws and care in passing trolleys will make the job of protecting life com plete.

CHILDREN'S READING.

Several thousand librarians and teachers are to decide, by vote, what are the twenty-five best books for the children of a one-room country school to read. The list is to be made pub lie.
 Decision to take this action results from the discovery that scores of children in given district read noth- ing but text books and that there are suitable for children to read-books which would Interest as well as edu- cate. In other cases it was found that the only available books were of the sort which no one, adults, much less children, ever read.
 If the librarians and teachers who vote on this matter will allow their humanness to rise to the surface and influence their votes, and if they are able to put themselves in the places of the children who, they hope, will read the books suggested, there can be no doubting the wisdom of the move.
 Many small community would be inspired to obtain for the' children good books to read, if they but knew what books would be proper. Many a person hesitates before giving 8 child book, uncertain if it is of the suitable character The announce ment of such list of books, having such authority behind them, would bring renewed interest in the matter of children's reading. And more and more the value of reading as means to broader education is being recognized. just as the value of education is be- ing acknowledged more and more every day.

CONDITIONS NOT AS
 BAD AS PREDICTED
Russian Death Rate Terrible But
 Better Than Anticipated

Samara, Russia, April 3. (Associ-
 ated Press.) Only a complete, care full census of the survivors would
 reveal the exact toll in human lives ] of the Volga famine of 1921-1922,
 but, terrible as has been the death
 rate during the ghastly winter just ! ending, it is now clear to the ob- l server that the great majority of the population has, some way or another, l managed to live through it.
 Estimates and predictions made last summer, that 5,0o0,000; 10000 l GOO or even 15,o00,00o of the Volga ,valley's population would die before spring unless fed from abroad and that several millions would die re- gardless of the assistance then being l rushed toward them, are not borne l out by the evident facts that con- fronted the correspondent in a fort
 nights trip through some of the | worst affected districts at the worst period of the famine.
 In some villages farthest removed from the railways, where cannibal- ism has in some cases been resorted to by the unger-desperate popula- ton and the general suffering has been almost unimaginable to the western mind, the death crate has been 30.40 and even as high as 65 per cent of the population. Famine such as this, however, has been the exception, rather than the rule, in Samara province.
 Doubtless many thousands would have died in every 'volost,' or county, had not American and other aid been at hand for the children. The Soviet government as we'll as foreign organ izations has assisted the local peasant authorities and has doled out its meager store of food in the con- munes which needed it most.
 / But it now appears that it was the very nature, physical and mental, Of the Volga peasant that enabled him to live through a year of stomach gnawing hunger that would have taken much heavier toll among a population less inured to hardships from childhood.
 Hundreds of thousands of them have died in Samara province which, before the famine, had a population of 2.7OO,O0O Perhaps the death rate has been 10 or even 5 per cent, but the majority of the peasant stomachs have digested the clay,
