TOR nearly two months Senators
of the United States have wit

WIN HcdIly LWO ululIuo OcldIOlo
of the United States have wit
messed the diplomatic retreat Of
American delegates in the Confer.
ence. They have stood by and seen
the gravest diplomatic reverses
recorded in the annals of this
country.
Most of these Senators must un-
derstand how far this country has
been dragged from its historic moor
ings. Most Senators must realize
how fast it has been pushed toward
the chartless sea of world politics
and world conflict.
How can members of the United
States Senate, bound by oath to do
their part in guiding this country's
foreign affairs, stand by silent and
idle while the things are done that
have been done before their eyes'
Where is their patriotismi Where is
their resentment Where is their
devotion, to the peoples causei
Where il their national pridei
Where, even, is their sense Of JUS
ticei Think of it!
We went into the conference to
protect China against Japan. We
, not only abandon both China and
our interest-we confirm and guar
antee Japan's encroachments upon
both.
We went into the conference to
assert our historic position and
policy in the Pacific. We forfeit
, both. We concede and uphold
Japan's possessions in the inundated
islands and limit our right to defend
the islands which, in Drawer days,
we made our own.
We went into the conference to re-
strain Japan's aggressions in ST.
IBERIA. We bind ourselves to help
Japan retain the fruits Of these
aggressions, to support her in the
war she may be forced to fight for
the retention Of Russian territory,
to defend her from attack even in
her home empire and on her do
mestio soil.
We went into the conference to re-
duce navies and thus promote the
cause of peace. We make a naval
reduction that condemns us to sec
ond place on the seas; we pledge
ourselves not to use our superior
wealth to remedy our naval inferi-
ority; and we leave the problem OF
naval peace unsolved.
We went into the conference to re-
duce land armies, and thus limit the
chances of war. We already had
brought our own army down to
skeleton. Now we see the other
Powers refusing to be bound and
Withdrawing their military dele
cations to mark the end of the ne
gotiations. So we leave also the
problem of military peace unsolved.
France proposes that she be al
lowed more battleships under the
conference plan. By securing them,
she, with the United States, will be
able to Offset the power Of the Anglo
japanese combination at sea. She
thus offers the United States at
least an even naval chance in an
emergency.
Do the American delegates wei.
come the proposali They do not.
The Washington times., 1922-01-09

THEN there's war,
The Washington times., 1922-01-09
Let the Senate Speak Out!

They refuse to even countenance this
way out. They repudiate and OPP
pose Frances proposal; they scorn
any project that will checkmate
England and Japan; they reject any
policy that will safeguard America
by protecting France. They work as
furiously to subordinate American
interests, as zealously to exalt Eng
iish and Japanese interests, as IT
they had no native land.
The French proposal is with
drawn. Then France insists ON an
allowance of submarines that will
offset along her coasts the menace
Of England fleet of battleships. For
the United States, the defensive
value Of submarines is as great as
for France-fully as great and for
the same reasons. Yet the Ameri-
can delegates again join England
and oppose France. Only against
our own delegates and by her own
courage does France win a victory
for herself and us.
What record of shame! What a
betrayal of trust! For a saving of
perhaps $3.50, 600, 900 a year in naval
expenses we agree to abandon China,
to leave the Philippines as hostages
to Japan, to forfeit finally our war
won rights in the inundated islands,
to forego our opportunity to take
over the maritime supremacy of the
world and then, too feeble to de-
fend ourselves against the Anglo.
Japanese combination, we consent
to take upon ourselves the humble
duty of rear guard in the advance
Of England and Japan upon the
mainland of Asia and, under con-
ditions, to fight for them in the
wars that their spoliations provoked
Can any Senator with a spark of
patriotism view this spectacle with
out resentment, see the danger with
out warning the people, realize the
emergency without shouting with
all his power, Keep out! Keep outl
From the American delegates
there is nothing to hope. Some
thing strange has happened, some
spell has been cast. Saturated with
malign propaganda, drenched with
fatuous sentiments, the men who are
supposed to safeguard the destiny
of the United States have failed
utterly in the Conference.
They surrender, they sacrifice,
they betray great interests, they
yield valuable rights, they concede
vital policies, they commit the life
of the people to abhorrent enter
prises. They expose the nations
destiny to unprecedented perils, en-
danger all that Americans hold dear
for purposes that Americans detest,
put American flesh, blood and
money into the scales of other
nations-and all without fit return
or due consideration.
Only the United States Senate can
give help! Only the United States
Senate can lead the people out!
A million men stood up in France
and faced death for the United
States four years ago. How many
men in the Senate viii stand up and
tell the truth for the United States
todayi

ANOTHER INDUSTRIAL COURT

A bill has been introduced in the New York State Legislature providing for judicial settlement of disputes be- tween capital and labor The arrange ment is modelled after the Kansas h. dustrial court and Is planned to pro
 tect the public against discord between capital and labor, including strikes, in all industries producing essentials to
 the everyday welfare.
 The Industrial Relations Court in
 Kansas has been on trial for some time At the last election every candi-
 date standing on the platform which
 favored a continuation of that court
 including Governor Allen, was elected.
 The people of the state are strongly
 in favor of the court 1t has made de-
 cisions in favor of labor and in favor
 of capital. Workmcn have been re- strained from doing as they would and employers have been compelled to do as the court believed they should do. The lessons learned from the experi- ences of the Kansas court should prove valuable to the New York court if the bill passes and such court is established
 There is grave danger of carrying government by bureaucracy too far. This danger should be borne in the mind when any innovation is suggest ed, It would seem, however, that the matter of the establishment of such a court is outside the boundaries of this unwise tendency Were 1t not for the feeling that any further limita- tion on the freedom of people in this country should be dangerous, it might be said unhesitatingiy that the plan should be tried. Even as things are, in the face of the conviction that such further limitation of personal liberty might be attended by iiscord in other directions. it is believed the Industrial Relations court in New York State would bring advantages outWeighing any evil results that migh. come Ger tainly Connecticut would like to see it tried in New York,

IT'S ALL RIGHT.

People have been worrying a lot about having us represented at Genoa. They have resented the idea of a man from this country sitting down beside lot of long haired, fan tastically clad Soviets, unkempt, ig- norant and quite possibly unshaven.
 The idea of treating with men mad with the belief that they have won wonderful power. that they are rep resentatives of a nation destined to be the greatest on the face of the earth that they are inspired by new idea which will bring happiness, pleasure and profit to all, and this, without work or worry-these ideas have troubled people of this country.
 It is possible to assure such per sons that the news of the day makes it known that they need be troubled no longer. They may put away from their minds the thought of a repre- sentative of this country being con-
 
 taminated by association with such terrible persons as the Soviet dele gates are reported to be. They need fear no longer lest our representa- tive might learn, and, learning, bring back to this country with him, the beauties of long hair, unshaten face, unkempt hair. Sights of such per sons will not becloud the brain of our representative, if we send one lie wil, not be tainted by a tendency to looseness of dress.
 For the command has gone forth, according to an authoritative report from Moscow, that special instruc- lions have been issued to the Russian Soviet delegates to the Genoa con ference that leather Jackets and top boots must be discarded when they start for the conference-and that long hair shall be trimmed.
 So it's all right,

\ GREAT MOVEMENT.

Over two million boys have taken an oath, In the past twelve years, which embodies promise to hold fine deeds, fine ideals, fine life as the greatest of things to be desired. Over half a million men have aided them, and in thus aiding, strengthen ed their own characters
 Today there are 4oS, boys inter- ested in the organization giving that oath; S4,ooo men are interested with them.
 Such a movement may be truly called great. Such is the Boy Scout movement of America
 This is Boy Scout week in this city. The idea of the organization is em- bodied in the very practical com mand to it's members: Do good the army of boys, with their adult leaders, are concentrated in this prac-
 
 But back of this concrete thing lies the idea of intoxicating in the boys an appreciation and understanding of civic servicavs forest preservation. combating epidemcs gathering ac- curate data on civic conditions for the use of the authorities, the benefits to self of keeping strong, mentally and morally awake, Straight trust worthy, loyal, courteous, friendly, clean and reverent.
 'I am with the Scout movement heart and soul,' says President Hard ing. "It is an organization teaching the spirit of service and honor which we must always have in our citizen ship. I wish every boy in America could have the advantage and the honor of being in the Boy Scout organization"
 This is Boy Scout week. Twelve years ago yesterday it was an idea in which such men as the late Theo- dore Roosevelt and many others of his type and ideals became interested. The organization was effected. and today that idea has become con- crete thing working for the benefit of the individual boy all over the land, and, through that boy and thousands like him, working for the benefit of the nation.

WHAT'S IN A NAME

A rose "by my other name" will smell ns sweet. it is true. No name can take from the fragrance which delights md lends added beauty 10 inc soft-tinted petals But supposing such flower as Il rose were unknown in the land. Imagine if one may, the discovery, far away, of new flower. The press might be filled with accounts of its beauty and fragrance. All the fine things possible to write of it might be put in words and the news of the discovery scattered over the country Curiosity might be aroused, and people with plenty of money might be in clined to visit the spot where there had been discovered this new species of flower. Wealthy youths might think that, after having seen 1t and having found that it was In fact as beautiful and sweet as pictured, they would like to secure one of the rare flowers to present to some greatly ad- mired girl or woman.
 But suppose such a name as Re volting Runt" were given to the new flower. How many people would be interested? There might be some cautiously inclined people who would want to see it. But the name would rob the rose of much of it's attractive ness were that name to be given to it before it had been seen, before it had delighted the world with its aroma.
 Most people in New Britain have not seen the hospital where tubercn- losis is treated. The hospital starts with a handicap. The fact that it is a hospital suggests that it would not be an attractive place. Add to this the name Isolation" and picture of lonely depression is presented to the eye.
 It is satisfactory to note that fol- lowing suggestion made Tn these columns last Monday the name of the hospital has been changed. The board calls 1t Rocky Hill sanitarium." This name at least removes the idea of loneliness. It has a rugged strength which suggests to the under-conscious mind the strength that may be gained there. It suggests high ground and pure air. Tlfe change of name is an improvement most decidedly.
 The hospital like the imagined un- discovered rose is a new thing. It is wise not to handicap it by name the mention of which has formerly brought an unpleasant feeling, Rocky Hill Sanitarium" suggests health and strength. May many find strength there!

 7AYLOR'S SLAYER
Asst. Prosecutor Is Now Handling
 the Case

Los Angeles, Feb. 9.--The ccntral- ized investigation at the district at torney's office of the enigma in the murder of William Desmond Taylor began today, after the alleged discov- cry and turning over to that official last night Of the missing letters writ
 ten to the director by Mabel Nor mand.
 As District Attorney WooIwine is taking charge. of the trial of Mrs. Madalynne Obenchain for the murder of J. Belton Kennedy, William C., Doran, his chief deputy, was placed m charge of the inquiry into the Taylor case.
 Although verification from Mr. Dor an was not obtanable the JOS An geles Times published today ;i state ment that the Normand letters, with several teiegrams were in the hands of Mr. Doran.
 1t had been previously announced evidence in the case from all sources would be turned over to Mir Doran and all forces, including detectives as- signed to the district attorneys of flee would pool their energies in try ing to solve the mystery
 To this was added today the an- nouncement that Mr. Doran would make all statements on the progress of the investigation hereafter al- though the various officers stated there would be no abatement of their zeal in trying to uncover the murder.
 Miss Normand, who once searched the Taylor apartments for her letters and who is said to be ill as d result of collapse at the Taylor funeral Tuesday, has been quoted as saying her only desire to regain possession of the letters would be misunder- stood. She said she felt strong friendship for the director but there had been no serious love affair be- tween them.
 A second handkerchief found it's way into the Investigation when about the same time the detectives said they found the letters in a boot in a closet in the Taylor apartments, fltllTy IedNey, dS TOT 5 negro 1lOuSe- man. has suddenly found a handker- chief bearing the initials M. M. M.'
 A handkerchief previously reported found near the body shortly after the murder was discovered, but since said to be missing, was alleged to have borne the letter "S." It is regarded as improbable that complaint charging murder will be issued against any person in connection with the case until the affair has been pre- sented to the county grand jury which has not yet been impanellcd for 1922.
 Meantime although the sheriff's deputies profess to scout the theory that Edward F. Sands. former butler- secretary for Taylor, can throw any light on the case the police detec- tives remain firm in their announce ed belief the mystery will not be solved until he has been found.

JAZZ

Much of what purported to be hu- nor has been inspired by the prevail ence of jazz" The term has come to be applied not only to jazz" alleged music, but to everything wherein jazz plays 8 part, cabarets, some dances, some sort of "parties," certain drives and other so-called amusements.
 A local man said yesterday, glanc- ing al poster: "Everybody seems sort of wild, these days Look at that poster. They're getting out lot of wild things, and tot of us are right On the ragged edge, It wouldn't take much to push us over"
 famous football coach i. quoted the boys with the money, do not go out for the college teams any longer, eries-all these have given those kids with bodies ot money something to keep them interested and put them ir the company of the fair sex, In .hc old days if you wanted to shine with tine ladies, you were a baseball player or football player or an athlete Of standing, But not today
 There is much truth in what that man said and in the remark Of the local man. Shining with the ladies' shou,! not bc young mans only goal, but too often it is. If he can "sl,inc" and at the same time give himself pleasure without undue physi- cal exertion it is quite natural for many 70 prefer this manner of life to the old, more rugged practices.
 A pessimist would say this situation is the reaction upon young meB and older men Of the greater freedom Of women and girls. Thcy judge by what they zee in the streets and ip the ruInors and stories that they hear.
 The opdmist will say, however, that
