Walter Reed Hospital.

There is sentiment in favor of the
removal Of Walter Reed Hospital to
another site. During the controversy
over the proposed extension of 14th
street the question Of the removal Of
the hospital was often touched on, and
the matter will probably be further
agitated il the bill for tho extension
Of 14th street passes Congress. Like
most other matters Of controversy
this also has two sides. -
The government set up a general
Army hospital on an eligible site. It
was historic military ground. The
fields and bits Of woodland were
charming. Picturesque brooks flowed
through the grounds. Tho land was
relatively cheap, and tho hospital
buildings were far enough from the
crowd to give quiet to the patients. It
was believed that. the grounds would
allow for the expansion Of the hospital
for many years, ana beyond the
grounds ware wide strstchss Of W.

Hague Court Membership.


Senate asking consent that this gov
ernment should adhere, with reserva-
tions, to the protocol establishing at
The Hague the permanent court Of fn-
ternadonal justice brings the United
States face to face with the necessity
Of decision as to what part this ma
tion Is to play in world affairs. In re-
jecting the covenant OF the league Of
nations we did 50 with professions
that it was not because we wished to
isolate ourselves from the worlds az
fairs. We insisted that we still stood
desirous In every way consistent with
our institutions to promote peace and
fellowship and advance civilization.
Now we are called upon to demon
strate the sincerity Of this professed
desire.
It is not matter for hasty judg-
ment and decision. In fact, it is un-
likely the President expects action in
the few days remaining Of the present
Congress. The probability is that in
laying the proposal before the Senate
at this time he had in mind that 1t
should be studied and discussed, and
sentiment crystallized between now and
next December. There Is nothing OF
the nature Of an emergency calling
for immediate action, but it was good
psychology to bring on public discus
sion Of the matter during the months
when Congress will not be in session.
Whatever may be the ultimate de-
cision as to American membership in
the court, the proposal is Of such SUI
perior Importance that it is entitled to
be considered without being damned
in advance by the passions and pref
udices inherited from the conflict over
the league Of nations. And, of course,
consideration Of it should be free from
the maneuvering Of partisan politics.
Opposition to American membership
in the league Of nations is not OF IT.
self a reason for opposing American
membership in the international court.
1t Is true that the court is a crea-
ton Of tho league. and that its judges
are elected by the league council. but
the reservations suggested by Secre-
tary Hughes would enable us to &C.
cept membership in the court and par.
ticipate in the election Of judges with
out further involvement in league af-
fairs. We have claimed and are en-
joying benefits under the treaty Of
Versailles, which the Senate refused
to ratify. and there would be no incon-
sistcncy in accepting benefits through
an agency Of the league Of nations.
even though we are not member Of
the league.
There never has been any informed
contention that the league OF nations
point OF view. In fact, fair-minded
opponents recognized that the greater
part Of its conception was wholly good.
1t was rejected because In one or two
instances 1t proposed to operate In a
manner which could not be reconciled
with the institutions and traditional
policy Of this nation.
The international court Of Justice is
not one of the things to which there
was objection at the time the cove
nant Of the league was rejected. Hav.
ing by rejection escaped what we be-
lieved was bad in the program Of the
league, it would seem childish If, be-
cause Of the bad things which no
longer have power to harm US. we
refused to share in the good things
which the league may accomplish.

BY THE MARaUIsE DE FoNTENoY.

Bf THE MAH0JiSE DE FONTENOf.
Gen. SHUTS. the premier OF the Brit
ish South African Union and its
plenipotentiary at the peace congress
of 1919, has been the object of SO
much criticism-both in that part Of
the world and in Europe and America
in connection with the important
role which he played at Versailles in
1919. that he has considered II neces-
sary to issue a public Official and
signed statement on the subject. He
insists, that from purely legal point
of view, the powers OF the entente
would have been perfectly justified in
demanding OF Germany that she
should pay ample reparation for all
the damage done to allied civilians
the pensions, which was estimated at
the time of the congress to total up
to the colossal sum of $4,000. 200, 900
pounds sterling ($125,0o0, 600. .00o). He
insists that his opinion In this connec-
tion as to the amount of the liability

But, he contended that the lawful
assessment Of the money due by Ger
many under the head Of repara tons
and the policy of extorting 1t were
two entirely different questions. and
it was on this account that the task
Of determining the amount which it
was within the power of Germany
to pay was left to the reparation
commission. which ultimately fixed
the German liability six thousand six
say considerably over $4,000, 900, 900.
He admits that even at the time he
regarded this sum as beyond the
power Of Germany to pay, and that
he labored with all his might to
scale down the amount-not to a sum
that would be Just and legal. but
to one which 1t would be within the
power of Germany to pay. He does
not deny the fact that even after this
amount had been n stiil ,sn art further cut
acting on the advice Of the board of
reparations. Germany defaulted in all
her obligations. and reminds his
critics of the fact that IL she had
won the war she would have exacted
vastly greater amounts from the en-
tente nations under the head of war
indemnities," even than the hundred
and twenty-five thousand. million
dollars. estimated by Premier Smuts,
by Lord Birkenhead and by President
Wilson as the extent of German
liabilities.

OF course, Premier Smuts attributes
to the defeat of the treaty Of Yer
sailles by tho Senate at Washington
on its presentation to that body by
President Wilson for ratification the

Changing of Rules Of Supreme
Court Debated;

On the movement "to have the i've
to-four winning score in the Supreme
Court changed" as one writer calls
Senator Borah's proposal. editorial
opinion is lined up apparently In
equal strength. on each side OF the
question, with the entire width Of the
field between them. Practically the
only point on which there is any
shade OF agreement is that If any
change is to be made in the present
practice the Borah idea Of requiring a
seven-to-two decision before a law
can be declared unconstitutional is a
conservative one. g..

Redistribution in Sight.

Agreement by those in charge OF the
reclassitication bill in the Senate upon
the terms OF compromise measure
puts that important project in the way
OF final enactment. What seemed q
few days ago to be impossible has
been accomplished in this meeting Of
minds upon details of comprehensive
scheme of government reorganization.
During this last week of the session
st should be possible to obtain action
In the Senate and concurrence by the
House in the substitution Of the new
measure for that which the House has
already passed. If there is spirit OF
accomplishment this will be done. II

ernment service upon a right basis Of
efficiency through classified duties Of

justment of appropriations to carry
out its terms does not initiate against
enactment at this session, short as it
may be. The actuarial computations
OF the difference in total between the
present scale Of pay and those pro-
posed have been made. In any case
1t is possible to put this new plan into
operation on the basis Of the appro-
priatiOns already passed and to make
good the deficiencies at the next ses.
sion.
1t is stated that the details OF the
compromise report on the bill are in
the main satisfactory to the govern
ment workers, who, it seems, were in
q low state of mind at the end Of last
week respecting the prospect. So low,
indeed, was their mind on this matter
that they proposed a meeting to be
held tonight to protest the terms
which 1t was reported would be pro-
vided in the new draft. That meeting,
II held, should be turned into a graft
hcation meeting, for there is no rea-
son to challenge the general spirit
OF the proposed law, although it is
naturally to be expected there may be
disappointments in detail.
The vital consideration in this mat
ter is TO secure the principle of classi.
fcation in the government service, to
cure the incongruities Of assignment
and detail that have grown during the
years until the departmental work is
an inextricable maze Of contradictions,
overlappings and unrelated responsi.
bilities. If. in addition to the estab-
1ishment Of the broad principle Of
classification or grouping, there is
adopted a salary scale which in the
main is equitable a great gain will
have been made.
During these last few days Of the
session, therefore, 1t will be the hope
of all who are concerned in the work
of the government, subordinates and
superiors and legislators, that this i'm.
portant measure should reach the
stage of final enactment. An earnest,
sincere wish to accomplish this end
appears on the part Of those who have
been engaged for months in an effort
10 shape the measure to adjust differ
ences Of view and to reach a ground
of broadest equity to all. With con-
1fdence that they will carry through
and score this important advance to-
ward businesslike government admin
tstration, the hope Of all concerned
remains high.
