mo. the Slightest Mystery"

MIR. HUGHES straightforward letter to
If1 Senator Underwood cuts tho ground
from under the senatorial group that is
striving desperately to throw about the four
power treaty cloak OF mystery and dark
ness Destitute OF respectable arguments
against the treaty as simply phrased pledge
to good faith and moderation, the obstruc-
tionisls have founded their case upon vague
insinuations of Interior motives on the part
OF Great Britain and Japan. How utterly
baseless this attack is, Secretary Hughes
letter must reveal to every one who is not
blinded by eagerness for partisan victory
The desire of the American government
that the Anglo-Japanese alliance be ter
minated, says Mr.. Hughes had been com
mnnicated long before the conference met
IL had also been made known that this gov
eminent would enter no alliance and make
no commitment to the use Of arms. Mr.
Hughes. himself, prepared the original draft
of the treaty following an exchange of views
OF the delegates, and this draft had the
unreserved approval Of the other American
representatives. No one would claim that
the treaty embodies an exclusively American
conception; no one who is above stupidity
and rccklcSsness would consider that the
identity or nationality Of the first delegate
to suggest something Of the sort matters In
the slightest degree. Without violating the
amenities OF international exchanges, Mr.
hughes has reviewed the course OF the ne
gotiations closely enough TO convince every
minded person that the treaty grew out
of free and frank discussion, and may prop
erly he claimed as the special property of no
delegate or delegation.
Moreover. the written agreement should
speak for itself. AS NJ. Hughes declares
it is simple and short and perfectly clear
There is not the slightest mystery about
the treaty or basis for suspicion regarding
It," he writes. The text of the treaty must
he taken as the best evidence of it's worth
the best support or refutation of the claim
that British and Japanese delegates have
bamboozlcd and blindfoded the American
delegates and compelled them to sign on
the dotted line If the treaty is good If
ii appears to be practicable means of adj
vancing justice and preserving peace in the
Far East. its authorship Is a matter OF no
rclevancc whatever. The clumsy indrection
with which opponents Of the treaty are shap-
ing their fight indicates that they have been
unable to find any serious flaw in the agree
mcnt itself. In short, they adopting the
contemptibly narrow, partisan course that
was biazed by the murderers of the league
OF nations in 1919 and 1920.

Color Blindness,

Il. Il. W., charlottesville
blindness is an incurahlc defect OF
vision. Acquired color blindness is
symptom Of diseases OF the optic
nerve and retina. ConSenital color
blindness usually affects both eyes.
and is often hereditary. II is found
In from 3 to per cent OF men and
in less than ! per cent of women. It
occurs in eyes whose power of vision
is otherwise, as to form and distance,
Perfect. Color blindness is usually
partial. being failure to distinguish
one or two OF the fundn mental colors
red. green and blue. The eyes OF
persons having this defect of vision
have been carefully examined after
death with no discovery OF any Pc
culiarity. Color blindness, therefore,
has Its seat In the sensorium, not in
the visual apparatus. According to
the Young Helmholtz theory, there
are three primary color perceptions
for rcd. green and violet. The alb
scnce OF one Of those causes color
blindness. that is, color appears
composed OF the other. The most
green blindness and red-green blind
ness.
