MONEY FOR PRIVATE CHARITIES

PROFESSOR KING, chairman of Mr..
L Pinchot's unofficial Committee on State
Finances, has called to his assistance an
Advisory Committee on the distribution of
pualtc money TO private charities.
The arrival ut Il satisfactory policy on
this matter IS one of the most pressing ques-
t!nns that Will come before the new Gov
rrnor when he takes Office The Supreme
Court of the State has sustained the pro-
vi.ion of the Constitution that public money
muAt not be given to sectarian charities.
T:iS decision has deprived many worthy
charities of money on which they had been
depending Whether n way can be found TO
assist these institutions without an amend
rvat to the Constitution IS uncertain. But
whether IL can he found or not. it is de-
srahle that better way for app0rtoning
public money than the one in vogue should
be found
nppropratinc lump sums to various inStitu-
tons he abandoned and that the money be
apportiOned on the basis Of the service rem
dercd. Under such an arrangement an in
stitut!on caring for 100 dependents would
receive twice as much as an institution
caring for only fifty 1t would do away
with favoritism and put the distribution Of
the money on busincsslike basis.
Professor Kings sub committee will
doubtless recommend some plan of this kind.
The men and women who compose it are
familiar with the charitable work Of the
State and can speak with authority upon it,

COMMUNICATING THE SEAS

DOLLtTION Of senboard and harbor
waters fs apparently one OF the pen
altics of progress. The advent OF OIL burn
ing ships. clean to travel on. economical to
operators and nbolishing the wretched scrvi-
tude of the stoker, has been hailed as
benefCent revolution. il-burners haze un-
questionably come to stay for some years.
But what the League of Senboard
Municipalities. now in session In Atlantic
City, is Indignantly wondering Is whether
deflcment of the ocean is also to be as en-
during
The water. pollution problem caused by
wastage and refuse from the tanks Of vessels
has already reached exceedingly serious pro-
portions. Floating masses of a dark, in
tlammable and viscous mi-liqud have i'm
pericd the shcllfSh industry, promoted dock
fires and ruined bathing beaches. Millions
OF dollars have been lost by this nuisance,
for which there has as yet been no successful
antidote.
Several bills prohibiting the contamina-
tion are now pending in Congress. and of
one of these Senator F'relinghuyscn. of New
Jersey, whose state is one of the prime
sufferers. is n militant champion.
It is easier. however. to protest against
the abuse than TO abolish it, The offensive
refuse IS the result of the discharge of water
DallHSt from inc OIL tanks from WHICH lHe
liquid fuel has been withdrawn IN the course
Of a voyage Nearing port, ships are in
the habit Of opening the tanks and with
the flow OF water is discharged the dan
gerous and disagreeable waste.
1t would seem, however, as II some screen
system might be applied which would pre-.
vent the oil residue from being discharged.
The necessary contrivancc should it exist,
is possibly expensive. AS laws cannot be
made for the ocean beyond the three mile
limit. the question of compelling steamship
lines to refrain from Corrupting the seas
becomes one Of complicated international
consequence.
An international conference on the subject
is provided in a joint resolution which has
passed both houses of Congress. The need
for such convention is imperative. En-
actments by the States alone would mean
little in combating what has now become

READY To SCRAP THE SHIPS

TNlIE signing Of the Five Power Naval
l. Reduction Treaty by King George brings
nearer the date when the scrapping Of the
surplus ships Will begin.
The treaty has been ratified by three Of
the Powers already. France and Italy are
still considering It. Word comes from
Toxic. however, that as soon as an exchange
Of ratifications Is made by Japan, Great
Britain and the United States the japanese
naval authorities will begin to carry out
the provisions of the treaty.
1t had been intended TO wait for action by
all five Powers before beginning to scrap the
surplus ships, but it may be that the eager
ness of Japan to begin her naval economies
as soon us possible may lead to change
in the program.
The adherence Of France and Italy to the
treaty is not really necessary to bring about
the naval reduction desired. These Powers
have small navies. They would have to
scrap few If any ships to reduce their fleets
to the size fixed by the treaty. The agree
msnt by the United States, Great Britain
and Japan will bring about the naval
balance which the friends of peace desire.
And this mutual agreement among three

formula of settlement. in the preparation OF
which Mr.. Hughes played SO conspicuous a
role, will not offend Chilean sensitiveness.
This constitutes tribute to diplomacy OF
n high order.
Throughout all the negotiations in WASH
ington, it was necessary for the Secretary
of State to recognize the validity of the
Treaty of AnCon, the Interpretation of
which is the primary cause of the dispute,
without sacrificing arbitral machinery.
The ingenuity of this solution may be
realized by reading President Allesandri's
statement TO the effect that 'the unalterable
and respectful policy followed by the United
States regarding free exercise of sovereignty
by the South American countries, which in
duces her to abstain from mcdiating or
mcddlng in pending questions between them
without previous mutual request from the
interested coslntrics, is ample and effective
guarantee of that great people. whose inter-
national reputation has been justly attained
through the homage it pays to the high prn-
ciplcS of justice and right" The fact that
Mr.. Hughes actually succeeded in steering
safe course through these restrictions and
that in spite Of them he played medatory
role is suggestive of highly senstized and
delicate hand at the diplomatic helm.

CAMPAIGN FUNDS

TNHEY are now talking of Sl5O,O00 as the
L proper amount needed to conduct the
Republican campaign in this state. This
is a larger sum than Mr.. Pinchot has mem
toned in discussing the subject with his
friends.
OF course, the workers who always expect
to be generously rewarded for their political
exert!ons will be displcas'd with So rea-
sonable an amount as $ljO.O00 to be dis
tributed over the whole State. But "xperi-
enced politicians are convinced that the sum
is adequate for all legitimate needs.
1t is much larger than the amount which
the Democrats are seeking to raise. They
put their estimate of the amount needed Mt
$75 900. In view of the fact that they will
conduct losing fight they will be fortunate
II they can raise SO much. The nomination
Of Mr.. Pinchot destroyed whatever chances
they had of winning, 50 Il will requir" con-
siderable party loyalty to induce tn" Demo-
cratic leaders to give up their money to
finance the campaign They are likely TO
raise enough to pay the expenses of Me-
Spartan, who will tour the State in behalf
Of his candidacy, bur there is not likely to
be much money for other purposes.

DIPLOMATIC FINESSE

DROSPECTS that Il substantial majority
i will be found in the Chilean Senate for
the protocol framed at Washington. partly
through the good offices of the United States,
are an encouraging augury Of Il final settle
ment of the long -ominous Tacna -Arica con-
troversy.
As the de facto posScssor Of the dis
puted provinces. Chile has quite naturally
been the nation most UnSympathetic toward
any arbitration program. Not even the
failure to secure any of her demands from
a tribunal could render the position Of
Peru worse than it has been in protracted
period of uncertainty 1t is not likely,
therefore, that the legislators of this re-
public will oppose approval of the Wash
ington agreement.
Rumors of obstructionsm in Santiago ap-
near to have been based upon the activities
of noisy irreconciabcS. This species is not
unknown In the United States, and the
analogy is increased by the fact that two
thirds majority in the Chilean Congress is
necessary before the pact can be adopted.
Public sentiment, however, Is unmistak-
ably In favor Of the definite settlement of a
question which has menaced the peace of
south America for more than a generation.
