WHERE LORD ROBERT
CECIL FAILED

Lord Robert Cecil did excellent
work in familiarizing Americans with
the achievements and methods of the
League OF Nations. His efforts went
far toward bringing it once more into
the realm of fair discussion and open
minded consideration. But while in
forming America he did not inform
himself. He failed completely to come
in touch with the fundamentals of
the American viewpoint.
This fact was evident from his
casual remarks while here. 1t stands
out before anything else in his care
fully written review of his trip in
"The Times" Pursuing his own per-
sonal Interpretation of Articles X as
"ill drawn" and easily to be got rid
of whenever the United States re-
quests, he SCOTS at American distrust
of this "heart of the covenant" and
ascribes this attitude solely to par
tisan prejudice and misunderstanding.
AS every impartial observer must
agree this easy dismissal fails to go
to the root of a widespread Amer
lean feeling. The bitter personal and
partisan quarrel of 1919 has unques-
tiOnably left its mark upon the Amer
lean mind, as President Harding is
discovering in his advocacy of the
international court. There are still
irreconcilables, two groups of them,
in the countryside Wilsonian adj
vocates of the league, who heartily
disagree with Lord Roberts cavalier
dismissal of Article x, and the john
son-Reed enemies of the league or
anything remotely associated with it.
Neither of these groups represents
the sound distrust of Article x and
the super-state aspects of the league
still strong throughout the country.
Such a proposal, if it is made with
any thought Of American participa-
ton, shows a pathetic failure to com
prehend the American point of view
America has no desire to participate
IN purely European disputes; and i
can not permit European decisions
of American problems. Further
more, in no event will America en-
gage in advance to make war any
where upon the bidding Of any coun
ell whatsoever. There is in Lord Rob
ert's new treaty, it will be seen, tn
complete and definite vice of super
state control which is vaguely and in
effectively phrased in Article x.
There are other respects In whic
Lord Robert misconceives the Amer
lean mind. He is grotesquely in Ell
ror when he asserts that there is a
American demand for league inter
vention in the Ruhr. AS every po
has shown, American sentiment ovel
whelmingly supports French and Be
gian action in the Ruhr and would
shocked and amazed if the leagu
should undertake to protect German
from the consequences of her ow
default. But his fundamental err,
goes far deeper. He crossed Il
5000 miles of ocean to America;
! never. appreciated their significan
in American minds, their guaran'
of western independence in ever
thing that concerns the western wor
alone, q guaranty that Americans a
more resolved than ever not to wal,

HOUSES REFUSAL OF
 RETIREMENT PAY FOR HARBORD CONDEMNED

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-The ac- tion of the House in amending the army appropriation bill in such a way as to deny retirement pay to Maj. Gen. James G. Harbord, re- tired, who left active service after nearly 40 years service, to become president of the Radio Corporation of America was characterized by Sec retary Weeks in a statement tonight as "an insult to General Harbord and to the government itself"
 Regardless of General Harbord's s position in civil life. the Secretary said, "the best interests to his gov ernment will be his chief concern He added that he should think Gen eral Harbord would feel that a coun- try that would tamely submit to such treatment of one of it's officers was hardly worth serving"
 The Secretary pointed out that Geperal Harbord has risen from the rahks, and had served in France suc- cessively as chief of staff of the A. E, F.. commanding officer of the famous Second division. and head of the service of supply. In the last named position, he said, the officer rendered such extraordinary service as to attract worldwide attention and win the praise of military and civilian authorities alike.
 q do not believe the people of this country wish it's great defenders treated in such shameful way" Sec retary Weeks statement concluded, "an I should think General Harbord would feel that country that would tamely submit to such treatment to one of its officers was hardly worth serving. He will certainly feel a sense of injustice which time can never efface"

EUROPE NEARING ECONOMIC ABYSS, , 1 LONDON ASSERTS
France Playing Losing Game on Ruhr, British Officials Feel Results Are All
 Negative
By Associated Press

LONDON, Jan. 20.-The 10 days military occupation of the Ruhr for the avowed purpose of forcing Ger many to pay long delayed separations finds Europe dangerously near so- cial, X econon ic and industrial abyss, over the edge of which France and Belgium, with their burden of war trappings, already may have disap- peared, according to the view held in British official circles.
 Stolid John Bull sits far to one side, immovable >nd almost unap- proachable by the fourth member of the disrupted allied famliy-Italy- whose nervous efforts to bring about Franco German mediation was fea- ture of today's developments in the European situation as viewed from London.
 The Italian ambassador, who has just rstprned from home has preached the question of mediation, which, if the British initiates it.. might terminate the virtual state or war in the Rhineland. but the Mus soiini emiss Try has received no en- courasement. This move is the lat est evidence that the British govern ment is convinced of the wisdom or the course it has taken in refusing to be associated with the French de- termination to enforce the terms or the Versailles treaty at the point ot the bayonet, withoLs the Germans being given another change to pay after finance reforms had been ln- stituted by Germany.
 France PIa, Losing Game
 British officials assert that every card the Franco Belgians haze played in the Ruhr has been a losing one' pointine out that the results thus far have been negative, the only ben eft being t, Great Britain in in- creased coal orders from Germany. At the same time it is admitted that there is still "a cry remote possi- bility' that the French may be right, for It is remembered that Premier Poincare predicted that it possibly would be weeks before profitable re- suits of the occupation policy were evident.
 To British observers the problem of the Rhineland, shorn of defaults. sanctions and treaty technicalities, finally resolves itself into one of for eign domination of people who give every indication of resistance. Great Britain professes to have learned well the lesson of Ireland, and believes that the allies likewise should have profited by the postwar disasters in Russia and Asia minor. and in the most recent events at Memel. where a supposedly unarmed population overthrow foreign administration which was considered oppressive.

HOUSE VOTES MONEY
 FOR WATERWAYS AND THEN DISCUSSES IT

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2o.-Having added s1s,ooo.ooo to the appropriation for rivers and harbors projects with out debate yesterday, the House pro- ceeded to discuss it at length and with some heat today.
 Representative Stafford. republi- can, Wisconsin. member of the ap- propriations committed. whose rec concentrations were overthrown. and Representative Blanton, democrat, Texas, denounced the larger amount as graft" while Representative Newton, republican, Missouri. a leader of the waterways bloc, de- tended it.
 MT. Newton declared the talk in some quarters that an effort would be made to displace Chairman Demp- sey of the rivers and harbors com mittee, who offered thes amendment providing the s19.000,000 would not get anywhere Since the great ma jority of the House demanded ade- quate funds for big projects"
 Resenting charges that the House had returned to pork barrel tactics. MT. Newton declared this charge came from railroad lobbyists who want to defeat all attempts to build up water transportation"
 Representative Husted, republican, New York, a member of the appro- priations committee, said the sugges- ton that a railroad lobby had had anything to do with framing of the bill was silly"
 After voting funds yesterday for completion of the dam at Muscle Shoals. the House also discussed that again. MT. Husted said the govern mept ought to complete the dam, but it ought not be in too great a hurry to dispose of the property until it's value could be determined.
 Taking hand in the dual discus sion, Representative Quinn. demo- crat. Mississippi, declared there was no sense in republicans "belly-ach- ing over what the House did yes- terday.
 "Go ahead and let Henry Ford have Muscle Shoals" MT. Quinn shouted. There is. all sorts of propaganda against it. but we must remember that people opposed to completing plant two years ago, said it would not be worth a damn when finished.'

BITTEREST TRAGEDY IN IRISH STRIFE IS REPORTED TO BELFAST
By Associated Press

BELFAST, Jan. 20.-The history of the civil strife in Ireland has brought forth no tragedy which for it's bitter irony surpasses an incident reported from Galway today.
 A laborer sold a litter of pigs at the market in Fortuna. receiving 40 pounds. The same night his house was raided by four masked men. who demanded 40 pounds for his life. Tremblingly he delivered the money and the raiders departed
 As the last man was leaving, the young son of the house seized an ax and struck him, killing him in stantly, whereupon his companions fled. Removing the mask the mem- bers of the family discovered that the dead bandit was the laoorers second son.

SEYMOUR DAY
 DEMAND GIVEN REFUSAL )!
Owners g.oss ssn All Offers of ..scaders at New
 sNMage Conference.
 Divergent Opinions May Bring Peace
By Associated Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 20.-Oper- ators of bituminous mines in the tri- state competitive field today turned down in it's entirety a list of de- mands submitted by the United Mine Workers of America as the basis for 1923 working agreements. Among the rejected demands was one for the six-hour day, five-day- week, advanced by the union in not attach any great importance to 1920, but it was said the union did that demand at this time.
 The fact that the operators were prepared to ask concessions equally unacceptable to the miners was all that saved the conference from abrupt collapse, for it was believed their very divergence offered a path to compromise.
 A subcommittee of employees and miners was named to consider both sides demands and from them draw, if possible, platform which would make possible further nego- tiation when conferences are re- sumed Monday. The sub-commit- tee went into session at once.
 Commission Named
 Its membership included: Michael Gallagher, Ohio operator and presi- dent of the joint conference; William Green, secretary treasurer of the United Mine Workers of America and conference secretary; Walter Robin son, operator and assistant secretary of the conferences; John l.. Lewis, president of the United Mine Work CTS of America; Philip Murray. vice president, and two miner and two op- orator representatives from each state in the new central competitive field. Ohio, Illinois and Indiana.
 The 6-honr day, 5-day week was one of maav demands. virtually a repetition of those of 1920, inc1udina adoption of a universal check of, double overtime and a two-year con tract and so on.
 Settlement of local differentials and disputes over working conditions by districts instead of nationally was the sole innovation.
 Mention sIx-Hour Day
 In rejecting the Ii the operators stressed their refusal to consider for two years. The labor situation was progressing, they declared, to a point where they might be justified in seeking wage reductions in 1924. To this the labor delegation replied in substance:
 Well sign for one year if the operators will guarantee us the six hour day. five-day week, with double time for overtime, Sundays and holidays"
 They were willing to take equal chances with the employers, they said. on the likelihood of a success full campaign for wage reductions in a presidential election year.
 William J. Brennan of Scranton, Pa.. president of district No. (an- thracite) of the United Mine Workers of America. was an outside observer at the conference today. His arrival was looked upon in soma quarters as supporting assertions of bituminous delegates that an attempt would be made at the end of the present ses- sion to begin negotiations with an- thracite operators toward shaping a contract to replace the one expiring in August.

EIGHT LOSE LIVES AS
 TENEMENT IS BURNED

LAWRENCE, Mass. Jan. 20.- Theories of incendiarism in connec- tion with the tenement house fire in which eight lives were lost early to- day, were dismissed later when the early spread of the flames was ex- plained as due to the fact that owen Farrfs, who discovered them, ran around for 15 minutes trying to find the nearest fire alarm box.
