France for Naval Disarmament

If pressing debates upon the budget
and foreign affairs can be got out Of
the way the French Chamber OF
Deputies will be called upon early in
1923 to ratify the naval treaty which
was formulated at the Washington
armament conference. NJ. PoTNcARE,
speaking to the Foreign Affairs Com
mission of the Chamber, has pledged
lis Government to support ratifiea-
ticn of the agreepent.
Much OF the criticism of the naval
agreement was due to irritation en-
gendered by controversies over land
armaments and submarines, and it
was confined almost entirely TO spe-
cialists and politicians. The people Of
France, despite her large sea coast,
the growth of her colonial possessions
and the fine traditions of her sea
history, take but little active interest
in their navy. The presence of Ger
many at the eastern gate has always
made Of the feet neglected second
line Of defense. Politics in the past
entered the navy at both ends. Ar
senals and dockyards were. and still
are, permeated by extremist labor
agitation, while officers, drawn from
ancient Breton and Norman stock,
cling to old traditions OF French sea
glory, without being too much con-
cerned as to the political regime un-
der which that glory was obtained.
Washington, az NJ. PotNcARE frankly
admits, calls for no sacrifice from
France. She could not, II she would,
luHd capital ships for some years to
come, and the absence Of large
binding program will give her n
good chance TO improve the training
of officers and men and TO grapple
with the problem OF disorganization
IN naval establishments on shore.
Criticism OF the agreement has
come from NJ. MANpEI, one of M.
CGEMENcEAU's political offspring, and
from nj. GUERNER, an important
moderate member or the CnamDer,
who is reporter Of the Foreign At
fairs Commission. 1t is based upon
France being placed on naval level
with her Latin sister Italy. In mo
mcnts Of international tension France
IS sometimes likely to look upon Italy
more as stepsister than as sis
ter. and even when the political sky
IN fair she likes to make Il clear
that she considers herself to be at
least the eldest of the family.
The feeling that France should be

Power undoubtedly exists, but ii is

tion ef the Washington agreement

Motor Truck Fees.
Not $50 But 1915 Year Proposed
for Ten Ton Truck.

To The New YORK HERALD: am
glad you have taken up the important
question OF license fees for motor trucks
The motor truck should pay its fair
share of road maintenance.
Every railroad president. manager
and stockholder knows the serious in
roads the motor truck IS making on
the earnings of the railroads. And why
IS this so? Simply for the reason you
stated. namely. that all motor truck
company has IN the way OF overhead is
hire OF driver, gasoline and wear and
tear whereas the railroad requires the
expensive right of way and the upkeep
thereof
Then too these enormous trucks en-
danger the lives of pedestrians and spoil
the pleasure of those who would use the
roads for recreation and to get to and
from business in lighter cars. A train
Of heavy trucks Is a blight on the
scenery and menace to life and limb.
AS you say, they are a modern neces-
sity, but they should pay their just
share OF the cost of repairing the tre-
mendous wear to. the roads for which
undoubtedly they are responsible.
Expert have told me that one ten ton
truck with solid tires will do more dam
age to a road than seventy-five small
cars. On that basis a truck should not
pay $50 but 1875 a year. And even at
that rate It would prove a profitable in
vestment to it's owner and the State
would derive a just return for the use
OF the public highway.

Coddling Criminals.

Sir BASH. THOMPSON, formerly the
head of Great Britain's famous detec-
tive bureau familiar all over the
world as Scotland Yard. told the
Daughters Of 1912 and their guests
Friday that in his opinion the rela-
lively high crime rate in the United
States is the result. of application to
criminals of the indeterminate SEN
tence and parole systems, under
which a man imprisoned for crime
may gain his freedom after a COM
paratively short period of incarcera-
tion. This criticism OF the treatment
Of criminals here is not new. Again
and again Americans have protested
against the coddling of thieves and
rufilans. Sir BAsIL's condemnation
adds the opinion of disinterested
end experienced authority to the mass
of informed opinion in disapproval
Of maudlin sentimentality in the ad-
ministration of justice.

toiled from dawn till darkness. They
stopped hoping and thinking.
And when a people stop hoping
their government is lost. When men.
do not hope they have nothing to
fight for. After progress came to an
end in Egypt, just about the time Of
the reign of TUT-ANKHAMES, the land
of the Nile was ready to be the prey
of the outlander. What cared the
people IL Libyan or Assyrian. Greek
or Roman, came to conquer? They
would not fight back. The color and
the speech of bureaucrat are moth
ing to a tax ridden people. And
there was no reforming the bureau
cracy of the Pharaohs. Even DAWES
could not have done that; indeed,
Moses himself had failed and fed,
taking with him people who, while
they have no rulers tombs like that
OF TUT-ANKHAMEN. live on.
So. while the world pauses to re-
feet that Declaration of Indepen-
dence or stimulating New England
climate might have saved the glories
OF the Egypt that is reflected in the
treasure found in the Valley of the
Kings. let it not put the blame on
TUr-ANKHAMEN. He could not know
that Egypt had stopped moving or
that it is the people that make the
State He was a king and the son
of king and bound by the customs
OF centuries. Let the explorers step
lightly when they pass from the
rooms Of treasure into the chamber
where doubtless the Pharaoh himself
lies in his royal sarcophagus. Let
them not ask him why he did not
free his. people from the rule Of the
taxeaters lest he say "Have ye no
bureaucrats yourselves?"

This is the children's night. OF all
the nights in the year it is the only
one ON which children, who are no.
toriously interested. in everything
including things they shouldn't be
jnquisitive about--are all concerned
with the same subject.
This year, as it occasionally hap
pens, there is sort OF double Christ
mas. For when the eve falls on a
Sunday father is home and the house
takes on the appearance. and much OF
the spirit, OF the feast day itself.
There is no escape for the parent
except flight, and no fight except to
cold golf links. The wise man stays,
, listens and renews his youth.
No night is so mystic as this. 1t
contains the essence Of centuries of
expectancy and belief. Does the
nightingale sing until morning? Do
the cattle kneel at midnight? If the
children believe they do, they must.
And as for that saint who fares
abroad under no stars but those OF
Christmas Eve, this will be blank
planet when no ear listens for the
rustic of his pack in the chimney.
Let no father fool himself with the
thought that the world has changed.
There are children in Washington
and Warsaw, in Melbourne and in
Metz who do not know about the war
hut who know about Christmas Eve
and what happens in its still and
holy hours.
So, in the name of that childhood
which keeps alive the faith, let no
so-called ahead of any house dare to
dodge an inquiry to-day or flee be-
fore the whirlwind of excited youth.

New York's Growth.

No vision seems sufficiently pene-
trating to foresee the extent to which
New York may develop. No estimate
of possible expansion ever seems to
attain the dimensions of the actual
achievement. When horse drawn
traffic crowded Manhattan Island to
its shores there seemed little hope
Of relief until the automobile arrived.
1t looked then as IL the traffic prob
lem had been solved. How enduring
that solution was the present conges-
tion has shown.
Every department OF metropolitan
life grows in this intensive way. Ex-
perience has not yet brought the
foresight which would enable the city
builders to plan on a scale providing
room enough for the future. Who
thought when theater building began
on large scale that there would come
a night with eight new plays and
others to follow in the same week?
When alert impresarios sought to
edge in their enterprises and found
available in New York's crowded
musical week only Sunday with a
few hours free from the offerings of
other music makers, did they ever
think that there would be Sunday
with eleven concerts-genuine musi-
cal performances, not the kind once
called sacred, because they were as
secular as the managers could make
them? In addition, the usual num-
Der Of variety shows and motion pic
ture ,theaters made their bid to the
public.
Such manifestations of New York's
Unforeseen capacity for growth may
be unesseptial. but they prove how
rapidly and inscrutably development
in every line may take place here.
