antees the Swift Ratification Of Al
the Washington Conference Treaties
TTNHE emphasis Of a decisive football score
L is contained In the 73-O verdict Of the
Senate upon the two supplements to the
Four Power Treaty. For the first time
since Mr.. Wilson imported the League OF
Nations the Interference" is routed,
utterly discounted.
1t has been protracted and agonizing
contest this struggle of the elements Of
sanity in American statecraft to attain the
tators who have chosen to use their eyes.
The irresponsibles, irreconcilables. the
wanton opportunists--call them what one
wil--have been persistent. But the narrow
margin of ratification by which the quad
rilateral pact slipped through was more
apparent than real.
The passage of that compact was n
specific accomplishment. laying the founda-
ton for new and heartening program Of
international cooperation to safeguard
peace. 1t marked the frank return Of the
United States to the ranks Of international
comfy and demonstrated the impractical
folly of obduracy in subsequent stages of
the program.
Mr.. Hitchcock's eleventh hour effort "
dislocate the machinery was typical of a
certain cast Of the senatorial mind in the
hour of defeat. The upper house tradi.
tionally delights in technicalities and has
exhibited at times an unholy joy in creating
perplexities and confusion.
But this last gasp of discretionary
essentially too simple to be lasting. 1t has
been solved by the perfectly legitimate
attachment Of the declaration regarding free
dom Of action in domestic affairs to the
geographical- definition treaty bounding the
japanese mainland.
The vote on the Four Power agreement
was quite sufficient to illustrate the helpless
ness of the frothy demagogues. In the
full sense Of the term. this is their zero hour.
The capitulation Is the most enlivening
evidence that all the other covenants framed
in the Washington Conference will be ac-
cepted. The Naval Limitations Treaty,
beacon on the arduous road to authentic
civilized progress, is fortified by solid bas-
tions of public sentiment. Not even Mr..
Borah. unless he has spurned all acquaint-

which he was among the first to sponsor.
The stage has been set for quick action

ments and substituting the machinery OF
arbitration for senseless devastation by
war; Hopes are being fast converted into
facts of which the entire nation-save for
a handful of cmbittered rharplots-may be
proud.

PATCHING UP THE TURK

WAR WEAKNESS Is unmstakable in the
w prompt acceptance by the Greek Cow
ernment of the proposal Of an armistice
with the Turkish Nationalists. There are
indications that the Angora Government is
also eager to subscribe in principle to the
program outlined by the Near Eastern con-
ference now sitting in Paris.
While it cannot be said that the Near
Eastern problem is settled-it is at least
apparent that the desire for some
sort of accommodation is keen. The Greek
campaign in Asia Minor is, in part, an
outgrowth OF two hagrant delusions-that
the Treaty of Sevres, in all its provisions,
was enforceable and that the Western ma
tons of Europe could unload their response
bilities upon the Hellenic military power.
The French as Is characteristic of them,
we're the first to view the situation realis-
tcaly. 1t has been asserted, and perhaps
correctly, that the Treaty of Angora nrgo-
tated with Mustapha kemal and his Ma
tionalists on the Asiatic mainland was a
bold attempt to acquire profitable conces-
sions in the Near East.
Its immediate effect however, has been
the awakening throughout Islam of a new
spirit of friendliness to France. This senti-
ment is obviously not one to be misprized
by nation possessing large African terri
tories peopled mainly by Mohammedans.
Great Britain has been less fortunate, or
less shrewd, as witness the present state of
Moslem feeling in India
But the formulation in the Near Eastern
conclave Of n definite program designed to
clarity and rehabilitate the status of the
Turk both in Europe and Western Asia ex
hibits among all the major Powers Il uni
fed endeavor to face facts
Some of these are unquestionably un-
palatable. 1t had been thought in 1910 that
the total exclusion of Turkish rule from
Europe could be accomplished Mt last. Re
ligious considerations of world magnitude
have clouded this view.
The Ottomans In Anatolia have displayed
something of the remarkable recuperative
