The convention was of an admiral BILE

other denounces the use of our Army
and Navy for exploitation of weaker
nations" to wit: Haiti, Santo Do

expresses sympathy for the cause of
Irish independence.
The platform is truly progressive"
as the term is understood by those
who call themselves "progressives"
1t calls for naturalization of rail-
ways and water power, election of
federal judges for limited terms, res

Criticizes Lloyd George.
Llyod George failed in his dealing
with France because politically he was
essentially dishonest; he would prom
ise anything and go back on any
promise when he saw that to per-
form was to invite domestic difficulty.
Bonar Law, who was an honest man,
failed because there was no conceiV-
able way of reconciling P-.sish and
French policy when he came to
power-on the eve of the Ruhr occu-
patton. Stanley Baldwin failed be-
cause the Ruhr occupation preceded
his arrival and he could neither ac-
cept the fact nor alter it.
Nearly five years of divergent poll
cies have supplied both the British
and the French peoples with proof
that neither can have it's own way.
and that no settlement at all is pos
ways. Now comes the question
whether the. lesson has been learned
and new men in a new state of mind
can bring about a compromise be-
tween British and French interests.
The election of Herriot-that is, the
triumph of the French left-followins
the arrival of British Labor gave
great promise, much of which GER
tainly still survives.
Nevertheless, recent French events
which / have discussed indicate that
there are fxed limits in the matter of
French concessions, that France is
getting bit restive, and the French
chamber has chosen it's own way of

Importance of the London conference,
where may be decided the political
existence of both the Herriot and the
Macdonald cabinets, both of which
rest upon the weakest of foundations
at home and are tolerated largely be-
cause of the belief that they may be
able to achieve something abroad
which at the moment could not be
achieved by other cabinets and other
premiers.

the memorandum stated that though

and NJ Herriot, no engagements of
any kind were entered into between
them or even suggested"
But that did not satisfy the opposi-

could save him. and. for that matter;

Mr.. Macdonald to come to him. Mr..
Macdonald, a very sick man, set off
hot-foot. For the two premiers it

Devotion Brings Growth.
There are few lessons that need
TO be more universally inculcated in
school or church than this one that is
so fundamental to our peace and hap
piness. When we come to the an
niversaries of those great days that
mark the outstanding events in our
national history, it is important that
we should do more than felicitate
ourselves upon the progress we have
made as a people. We need to be
reminded that our progress has been
largely registered through those who
gave themselves with selfish de-
votion and without reserve to the
large concerns of our corporate life.
This nation has not grown through
SelhShneSs, nor undue magnifying of
self-interests
Now and again single individuals
IN d community have literally stayed
the progress of decay and pointed out
to us the safer and the better way.
Before the late war came upon us
some one facetiously called America
a "polyglot boarding house" To the

a BLOW From the Dark

a MONG the bundle of letters that the boy laid on
the editors desk Wednesday was a long, plain
envelope, without return address or other mark of
Identification.
Inside was single sheet of paper unsigned.
The paper was devoted to an attack on Seattles
hydro-electrc project on the Skagit river. 1t had
been multigraphed and, apparently had been given
widespread publicity thru the mails.
Arranged IN the form Of a news story Tin the
hope, doubtless, that unthinkng newspapers will
give il Space) the attack is broadside against the
whole issue of public ownership. In spite of this
fact it speaks highly of the work done by Carl +.
phden engineer in charge of the Skagit work, and
eriticizes the city council for presuming to dis
regard Uhden's recommendations as to the next
steps that should be taken in Skagt development.
The anonymous communication stresses the fact
that Councilman Ralph Nichols and Light Super
intendent j. ID. Ross who advocated such action,
are secretary of the state super-power league and
campaign manager for the Bone bill respectively.
The writer of ii goatS over the fact that the
people will be called upon to vote more bonds to
complete the additional units, and contends that
the present unit does not come up TO expectations.
THE STAR believes every citizen is entitled to
= his own opinion regarding the Skagit and
municipal ownership in general. And it believes
he has right TO express his opinion
Often in the past, when an anti-public owner
ship man had something to say, out in the open
and under his own signature, this newspaper was
glad to give him space.
OUT The Star condemns whole-heartedy, under
y handed, knife-in-the-back attacks such as this
And this is not the first of its kind that has been
sent out.
1t has no time to waste with the authors of such
anonymous letters except to point out:
That these attacks are always engineered by
foe that fears to fight in the open.
That, in this as in other similar attacks the
appeal has been that the present Skagit admins
tration is always in the right
And that the attack comes from source that is
bitter in its fight against not only the Skagt, but
against the Bone bill, the super-power plan, and
every other forward-looking movement that will
aid in giving this state cheaper and better power.
