No Reason for Alarm

Having discovered that tho youth
full female Of the species calmly con-
tinucs to work out her own destiny
unmoved by criticism, rcformers now
ARE appealing to her parents to save
her.
1t is, they say, the home, and not
t girl, that Is responsible for what
they regard as the shocking trend of
tho times. Young women wear short
skirts and 90 to movies and powder
their noses, and sometimes even
smoke cigarettes, because their
fathers and mothers lack the moral
courage to scold them about these
things. Consequently the noble wonl-
an nobly planned is becoming extinct
upon the face of the earth. The only
difficulty with this reasoning is that
1t isn't reasoning at all There may be
more opportunities for girls to be-
come useless cumbercrs OF the earth
than there were fifty years ago, but
if there arc they arc not taken aG-
vantage Of.
The average young woman of to-
day is l.ot only better dressed than
was her grcatgrandmothcr, but she
is better educated, better equipped to
earn her own living and better able
to take care Of herself at all times
and places.
Undoubtedly the attitude OF par,
cnts toward their children has
powerfully influenced their conduct.
hu' ii is ali influence for good rather
than for evil; and this influence is
brought to bear rather by the re-
moval Of restraints than by increas-
ing them.
Gradually fathers and mothers
are discovering that their children

An Ali-Round Success

The Washington conference, now
nearing its end, is necessarily oc-
cupicd with minor accommodations.
It's main work has been fnishcd.
Pessimlstic critics who have their
eyes fixed Oh disagrocments over
particulars claim that tho conference
has petcred out. But this is only
another way of saying that much
less dramatic Interest has attached
to the technical formulation OF the
conference decisions than attached
to the cmergenco of those decisions
and their acceptance "in principle.' y
The conference "is neither near to
death nor sick,' says Lord Lee Of
larohanl, one Of the British dcic
gates. 1t has, in fact, functionod
with extraordinary success and is
ready TO come to an end only be
cause it has nearly completed its
program. 1t has dono a great deal
more than it was expected to Go.
Secretary Nughcs's bold stroke on
the opening day closed tho door
against failure, OF even half success.
Thereafter tho conference had only
to follow the path indicated by world
opinion.
President Harding had two pur~
poses in view in calling the nine
powers together. Tile first was to
limit naval strength and to put an
end to competition in naval construc~
ton. The second WAS 10 assure con-
cord in the Pacific, for without q
composition Of International rival
RIGS there no limitation of naval
armament was possible. China was
d bone of contention in the Far East.
Accordingly. China status rs n
nation, with many attributes Of
nationality suspended and many na-
tlonal assets in pawn, was brought
into the conference.
L rom the American point Of view
the British-,lapanese alliance was
the greatest obstacle tc a Pacific &c
adjustment. That alliance is to be
terminated. a four-powcr Pacific
srcaty has been signed, A very
sweeping reduction Of naval strength
has been agreed to. Many practical
steps have been taken to free China
from alien control and intrusion and
, to restore Chinese sovereignty. Here
arc three great constructive achieve
ments. On fundamentals the con-
ference has practically 100 per
cent record. Nothing that the cavil-
ers say can alter tho fact that in
the broadest sense it has lived up
splendidly to its possibilities and op-
portunitics.

Against Debt Refunding

10 the Editor Of Tho Tribune.
SIR: According to report, from
Washington, unusual interest in the
proposed refunding of the Allied debt,
IS being shown throughout the country
treasury officials assert that many let
tcrs have been received seeking m
formation and data on which to bull !
arguments for or against the proposal.
Under these circumstances It miobt
be we'll for Congress to heed public
sentiment before taking final action on
this question. In my own limited
circle of acquaintance I find a de-
c'ded opposition to refunding or post
ponlng collection Of the debt: in fact.
steps arc already being taken to start
movement that it is hoped will mako
this opposition influential enough to be
heard at Washington.

Turning Business Away

The Joint International Commits
sion, representing Canada and the
United States, has made a report
favoring the creation Of ship canal
from the Great Lakes to the lower
st. Lawrence. The report is before
Congress and may be acted on at
this session. Western support for
this project is based largely on the
argument that the Port Of New Yorf.
is congcsted and lacking in terminal
facilities, ard that there is little
chance al present Of any improve
moHt.
The city governments quarrel
with the Port Authority lends weight
TO this argument. Tho port cannot
be nlodernizcd if the city persists IN
fighting the PORT Authori:y's PLAN
and in urging some less comprchcn-
siNe plan Of its own as q substitute.
Bettermert BY New York City of it,;
own section of the port wouldn't get
far. New York is only one Of the
lOo municipalities within the port
area. For any real development this
area mus be treated as q unit. The
Board of Estimate and ADportion-
nlent is badly advised if 1t thinks
that the problem can be solved by
city action only. This city is on the
east side Of the Hudson River, and
most Of the trunk lire terminals,
which are the backbone Of any mod
srn port, are on the other side.

vetoed hy Austria had it not been for

to point out that Vctoes by civil govern

Plus X in tho Constitution Commlssum
Nobis of January 60, 1904.
This document forbade the cardinals
and all others connected with a con-
clave from transmitting orally or in
writing, to the Sacred College as q
whole or to individual cardinals, any
veto Of civil government, "eycn IN
tho shape Of a nero WISH" under
penalty Of incurIing cxcomnunication

cardinals bind themselves with An oath
to observe exactly tho provisions OF
this constitution, which continues as
part Of tho Church's law, being ono OF
the few documents printed st the crd
OF all editions Of tho new Code of
Canon Law.
There has, therefore, been no possi-
bility OF veto since the conclave Of

Sir: After following in The Tribune
tho diecusson Of disfranchiscment Of
the negro in the South ! havo come to
the conclusion that every orc partici-
pating in it is all wrong. The North
crner is wrong when he says the negro
Is not permitted to vote and the South
erner is equally in error in saying that
"his failure to vote is traceablc directly
to his utter Indifference and not to his
fear. He can vote With perfect safety,
but he doesn't want to and won't"
The information / had several years
ago from an old Southern colonel living
i'll the heart OF the "black belt" was
that eve haven't the slightest objection
to their voting. But after the polls
are closed NO throw out their ballots" :"

problem is simplicity itself.
