Genoa and Reconstruction.

THE mere fact that thirty nations, nclud-
i ing Germany and Russia, are now in con-
clave to work out some means of improving their
financial, commercial and political relations, is of
distinctly hopeful augury. Even if the present
ference falls short of what is desired or expected
at least it will show general recognition by the
nations of the fact that there are common prob
lens that cannot be solved by any nation alone.
The world is a trade unit Political harmony
in the coordination of world economic measures,
if it can be secured, will aid immeasurably in car-
lying the steps necessary to reorganize production
and distribution for mutual advantage. Had the
recommendations for fiscal economy, taxation re-
forms, cessation of borrowing for current expend-
tures and limitation of initiation, which were made
at the Brussels International Financial Conference
in October 1920. been promptly sanctioned and
carried out, the European governments could have
prevented many of the chaotic features of nterna-
tional trade and national finances since that date.
The Federal Reserve Bulletin, after criticising
the proposed international Corporation, fathered
at Cannes and examining European and American
schemes for regenerating Europe, says: None Of
these propositions has any considerable weight of
public opinion behind it except the Ter Meulen
scheme. This plan seems to have the support and
approval OF Western Europe we'll as American
bankers and financial experts probably because it
appears to meet the needs of the various types Of
foreign trade financing. If the Genoa conference
could bring about recognition on the part of po-
tential borrowers of the necessity of domestic inan-
cal reforms, and the part of the lenders of the
desrability of the security furnished by gold bonds
the necessary machinery could be almost immedi-
ately made effective"
The fact that our country was the first to
ratify the seven treaties of the Washington con-
ference is high evidence Of willingness here to work
concretely for international welfare and reconstruc-
tion. To recall that sterling and some of the for
eign exchanges sharply Immediately after the
conference opened, and that substantial improve
ment has continued since, is to indicate that at
Genoa similarly the general welfare depends largely
upon the will of the people voiced by their
chosen leaders.

A Rebuke France Deserved.

TRANCE at Genoa has goaded Premier Lloyd
George until his courtesy and patience arc
the breaking point.
The British statesman's painspoken rebuke
Saturday will strengthen his hold world sent-
ment and promote better feeling among other ma
tions represented at the conference.
From the start France, not Germany or Rus
sia, has been the stumbling block. If she did not
exist there is little question but that remedy
for the present economic ills of Europe could be
found. All the pessimists who have ventured pre-
dictions on the Genoa situation have based their
arguments on the seeming impossibility of reaching
any solution which France sanction
Great Britain and Italy can agree with Ger
many and Russia. There will be some staged con-
troversies. Unexpected plays will be made by one
side or the other But, in the final analysis these
nations came to Genoa to agree. They need each
other. All their interests lie in peace, not war.
They will allow insignificant detail to prevent
settlement.
With France the situation is different. She has
quibbfed, from the first, everything. She has
lost opportunity to delay the conference and
cause bitter feelings. Her delegates have resortcd
to little social discourteses such refusal to
eat at the table with other ENJOYS for no
other purpose than to render difficult the
work of peacemakers. She acts on the foolish as
sumption that the triple entente still is in exist
ence, whereas, tor the good OF the world It has
been dead for the past year.
1t is unfortunate if the interests of France are
opposed directly to those of the of Europe Of
the United States and of the British Dominions.
But she cannot expect the other nations to sacri-
hce the good of the whole for the welfare of one.
There are some moot questions which rest entirely
between herself and Germany. Outsiders are in
terested no longer in her bothersome border dis
putes.
Premier Lloyd George threatens a direct ap-
peal to the better sentiments of the world if France
causes further delays in the progress of the con-
ference. The world is we'll satisfied with his lead
ership. There is question but that he will have
the support Of everyone who longs to see order
evolve from the disgusting tangle of international
crookedness which constitutes Europe.

A Brief for Cripples.

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
am coenizant of the fact that.
according to a statement oficiaily
made by Corporation Counsel Ste
phens, new police regulation,
which will come into effect Mon
dsy, April "a. 1922. will also ban
cripples from stationing themselves
in the downtown section and SELL
ing pencils. shoestrings, gum. ETC..
to passers-by.
am positive that IL those who
| will put this new regulation into
effect would give thought a little
| more to the welfare and results of
| these poor unfortunates who have
| been forced to this uncomfortable
position as a means of supporting
themselves-in other words, their
only hypothesis of support-such a
regulation, demonstrating only lack
of human feelings. would never
have been passed.
Has II not been taken into con-
sideration that these cripples are
supporting themselves, which is

convenience the city as to further
prevent and prohibit the only means

that they have in no way disturbed
pedestrians, to account for this.

stores have been so inhuman and
uncharitable as to show antago-
nistic feelings toward these Grip.

their street space space which
does not amount to anything to

Why, hundreds OF people have
, only been too glad to drop a few
cents into the cups OF these unfor-
tunates! They are not begging
that they should be banned; they
sell you merchandise, instead of
begging. You get your full moneys
worth. 1t was not exected that they
should station themselves in dis
tricts deserted by people-the busy

James NJ. Cox, guest OF the Michi-
gan Democrats. speaking in oppo-
sition to the Harding administra-
ton, said:
Run through the list OF policies
of the administration and we find
an underlying defiance Of public
will, but difference to the old guard
of the Republican party"
All honor to the Old Guard, Run
through the long list of their
achievements and We find them
saving the Union in the dark days
OF '61-thus preserving our rights
and our liberties. From the 44th
degree OF longitude to ''Schomburg's
boundary line" we meet indisput-
able evidence of their wisdom and
loyal forethought for our country.
We remember with gratitude how
they saved us very recently from
entangling alliances with foreign
nations. and we read the disheart-
ening reports of the happenings at
Genoa with thankfulness to the
members of the "Old Guard" who
formed a barrier against the waves
Of internationalism that threatened
to engulf us.
Faulty they may have been in
minor details. but the great trend
of their activities has ever been
onward, widening and smoothing
the pathway for the generations OF
Americans who will study the his
tory Of their unselnsh devotion and
ever do them reverence.
Let us continue to defer to the

ION some new and drastic method
must be taken to protect society,""
said Justice Morchauser to an in
terviewer recently. This opinion
is based on thirty years of en-.
deavor to deal out justice to GRIM
inals of high degree and low. In
the course of those three decades
many thousands of criminal cases
have been brought before me and,
Of course. my mind has been largely
occupied in considering them and
the causes leading thereto.
In view Of the present situation
unparalleled in my experience-it
seems that unusual measures are
needed IL our cities and larger
communities in general are to be
made safe for law-abiding people.
Therefore, while fully realizing thar
the proposal may meet with sharp
criticism. with strong opposition,
and even with positive denuncia-
tion by those unduly sympathetic,
yet only informed in part, I deem
It duty to suggest the following
procedure as soon as proper au-
thorization may be obtained.
Every person convicted of a
felony shall be required to carry a
passport for the period of five years
subsequent to release from prison
following completion of sentence.
Before going from place of his or
her residence to another com immunity,
said person shall be required to
notify local police authorities of
such intention; and upon, arrival in
another community. straightway to
present his or her passport to police
authorities there. At the end of five
years Of good citizenship the pass
port requirement to be remitted.
ITO render it fully effective 1t
would be advisable to have
such passport regulation enforced
throughout the United States. maxi
ing 1t national in scope and opera
tion.
TT is possible that difficulty and
delay would be experienced in an
effort to have such, passport regu-
lation authorized as national
measure. But the State of New
York could make good beginning
were" 1t to establish the procedure
within its own boundaries. particu-
larly by maxim. 1t include sojourn-
ers here who have been convicted
of felony in other States.
In my judgment. this proposed
measure, or something closely akin
thereto. is imperatively needed IL
the continuing outbreak Of 'lawless-
ness is to be stopped. For there
Is only one way in which to stop
