When Arthur Balfour, the British statesman,
was in the United States he demonstrated on
many occasions that he was a most remarkable
tennis player. considering the fact that he had
already arrived at the age Of seventy-four.
He used to play doubles regularly with the
wife of the Swedish minister a partner and
they won and held the honors of the diplomatic
set.
Mr.. Balfour is very tall and very thin. Despite
his age he can stu cover a court with the best

on his skill with the racquet when he is in reach
Of the ball. but still gdes swiftly from one
extreme OF the court to the other.

Bailey was the friendliest of men and used to
sit around and gossip with his retainers. His
favorite theme a discourse on the possibl
ties OF the show business. He had a theory for

about it.
The appeal, he said should be to women and
children. They had more time to go to shows
than did men, There should be two perform

Keith and Albee listened to the sage OF the

bit of money, they decided to give it a try. They
opened up the old Bijou Theater. 1t was the

Is present everywhere

He's in the silver air.
find Him in the country
Or find Him in the town;
He holds no fearful scepter
And He wears no kingly crown.
The God that I love
Is in the human things.
/ hear Him when the wind Is low
Or when the kettle sings,
They say He's in far off sky
Where angel people are,
But in my heart feel Him shine
AS warm as any star.
The God that love
Needn't say word,
For when I'm disobedient
It's just as if heard
He only needs to smile at me
From out a silken rose
When all the "evil" in my heart
Just crumples up and goes.
The God that love
Knows nothing of "the fall"
He doesn't torture people,
Or punish them at all
He makes Law of beauty
And we break it at our will
IT'S we who build the battlefields
And sow the world with i'll.
The God that love
Is very close to me.
He's something l am SURE Of
While don't exactly see.
The pulse within my temples,
The patter in my wrist,
The peace that comes with afterglow
When earth Is crimson-kist-
Oh, these are God and speak to me
Whenever / would pray,
For oh, the God that love
Is God of every day!

The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1922-03-22
I N many ways this Four Power
Treaty is worse than Wilson s
= Four-POwer Treaty.

In no way is it any better.
The American Senate rejected
Wilson's Four-Power Treaty, and
the American people Endorsed the
Senate's action by giving one of
its members who voted right
seven millions plurality in the
next election.
No honest and clear thinking
mind can find honest explanation
of the course of those Senators
who opposed Wilson's Four-Pow-
err Treaty and who now support
Hughes Four-Power Treaty.
Both are as like as twin peas
in the same pod.
Both are good or bad.
The man who was against the
League of Nations, as the Wilson
Four-P Power Treaty was falsely
called, and who supports the
Four-P Power Treaty of Hughes is
either a dishonest politician,
afraid to stand up against the
power of the White House and
the dictation of the money kings,
or else he is a feeblewit, incapable
of thinking straight and disgrace
fully ignorant of the facts of the
present and the ineyitables of the
future.
Wilson's ideas, as far as he was
capable of having ideas instead of
caprices and vanities, were to
unite the victors in the war in
a permanent alliance of four great
Powers, with Italy as a disre-
garded associate, which alliance
was to dominate the world and
to aid each other in keeping pos
session of the peoples and islands
each had subjugated and stolen.
1t was a bigger idea than that
Of Hughes, because it proposed
to embrace the earth in it's de-
crees and to make the whole
world safe for British imperial
ism, French militarism, Japanese
despotism and American financial
ism. With each of these safely
entrenched behind the armies and
navies and riches Of England,
France, Japan and the United
States, the smaller peoples and
the vanquished nations could
take what was handed to them on
the points of bayonets and be
thankful it was not worse.
Now, the dishonest camouflage
Of this alliance between one des-
potic autocracy, one pretended
democracy, one Unsuitable land
grabbing imperialism and one
presumably democratic republic
was that it was formed to sub
stitute the Rule of Right for the
Rule of Might and to make every
people, great or small, secure in
its natural right to its lands and
to government by it's own consent.
, The whole world now knows
that this was a false pretense-
a gigantic lie.
And 80 it will be with this
Hughes treaty, which is purely an
alliance to make British imperial
ism and japanese militarism safe
in the possession Of the territories
and goods they have stolen from
their rightful owners in China,
India, Korea, Formosa, Man
churia, Siberia and the islands of
the Pacific sea-and which, just
as dishonesty as was the Wilson
treaty, is camouflaged under the
false pretense of abolishing arma-
ments, saving, the expense of
armies and navies, and instituting
permanent peace on the waters
and coasts of the Western ocean,
and doing justice to the weaker

starved to death by the millions.
During the course Of his diplo-
matte career he has urged Ger
many to violate the neutrality of
Belgium and attack France on
that line and assured the German
Kaiser that England would re-
gard such a procedure as a mill
tary necessity and as no occasion
for interference, and in 1917 he
stood on the steps of the City Hall
in New York and wept over the
wickedness Of Germany in doing
the very thing which he urged
Germany to do in 1887.
A man with such dishonest and
ruthless practices as part of his
diplomatic record can talk to men
who know history until he is
black in the face without con-
vincing them that either he or
the government he represents is
to be trus or that either has
any othe, motive than the ag-
grandizement of British imperial
ism by any means necessary to
that end.
1t is only in Washington that
Mr.. Balfour or any other British
agent can find the trustful igno-
rance and the childish credulity
which take British professions of
solicitude for democracy and for
the rights Of weak peoples and
the safety and prosperity Of
America without a grin.
There must be enough Of you
Senators who are alike too well
informed to be deceived by the
transparent camouflage in which
this shameful and dangerous and
trouble breeding treaty is cloaked,
and too honest to be cajoled or
coerced into voting to ratify it.
We do not know which is worse
the cowardly submission to the
plots and half-veiled threats of
these combined white and yellow
imperialisms or the future dan
gers which are invited by our
acceptance of our natural and in
evitable enemies that we sink our
navy and strip our ocean outposts
of their guns.
If Wilson's treaty was idealism
plus vanity-gone foolish, this
is pacifsm-plus cowardice-gone
absolutely idiotic.
We warned Mr.. Wilson and his
understands in the Senate that
they would wreck the Democratic
Party on the rocks of public in
dignation if they persisted in
toadying to British influences and
in yielding the rightful world su-
premacy of the Republic to the
wiles Of foreign diplomacy. No
vember, 1920, justified and en-
phasized the truth of that warn
ing.
And we now warn President
Harding and his obedient machin-
lists in the Senate that if they per
sist in their course Of exalting the
British Union Jack and the
Japanese Rising Sun banner above
the battle-flags and the merchant
marine flags and the outpost
flags of America, they can nomi-
nate themselves for office again
with the certainty that not one of
them will get enough American
votes at the polls to wad shot
gun.
1t is time for plain speaking.
You folks who put this Admins
tration in power and these Ad-
ministration Senators in office are
being double-crossed.
You are being sold out.
