~ HARLEs EVANS HUGHES is
on the South Atlantic, bound
for his first real holiday in
~ 20 years with two achieve
ments to his credit that
wreathed him in smiles as he left
washington on Friday. During his
-FOUR years as Secretary of State he
submitted a record total of So foreign
treaties to the United States Senate
for ratification. All but two of them
were approved. 1t constitutes a chap
ter of cooperation between the De-
partment of State and the Senate
without parallel in the relations be-
tween the executive and legislative
branches. No four years of State De-
partment annals even approximate so
successful cooperation.
The other achievement, which sent
MT. Hughes back to private life happy
and content, was literally an eleventh.
hour achievement. 1t escaped. gem
eral notice in the pell-mell of Inau-
guration day events, though it oc-

time Secretary Hughes called the
State Department Americas Depart

his career there. pm. on March 4
1925, he accomplished, as his farewell

mainly instrumental in preventing
the outbreak of a war between Co.
lombia, Peru and Brazil.
Last OmciaI Act.
These three Latin American gov
ernments, having been unable, among
| themselves, to compose their long
standing boundary differences, re-
quested Secretary Hughes to patch
them up. AS the result of numerous
conferences extending up to his clos
ing days in office, Mr.. Hughes pro.
posed a compromise which redrew tn,
boundaries in controversy to the com,
mon satisfaction of all concerned. Or
the afternoon of Inauguration day
the Secretary of State invited the Am.
bassador of Peru, the Minister of Co.
lombia and the charge d'affaires OF
Brazil TO assemble at his desk. There,

fiict In the Amazon Valley from
sprouting into a war. The former
Secretary made no attempt to conceal
his qualification over the tidings from
DR.. Rowe. Mr.. Hughes consistently
specialized" in cementing relations
between the United States and Latin
America. DR. Jacobo Varela the Uru-
guayan Minister and new vice chair
man of the Pan-American Union, told
this writer that those relations were
never approximately as cordial as Mr..
Hughes leaves them.
Irreconcilables Welcome Departure.
There are irreconcilable Senators
of the United States-gentlemen at
whose "refinements of logic, sophis-
tries and subterfuges" President Cool
idge's inaugural address took a fling
who welcome the departure of
Hughes, because there now will be
greater harmony" between the State
Department and the Senate.
AS a matter of fact no Secretary
of State ever met with a larger degree
of cooperation than Hughes in seeking
the advice and consent" of the Sem
ate. Only the Isle of Pines treaty
and the Lausanne treaty with Turkey
failed of ratification while Mr.. Hughes
was in Office. The Isle of Pines pact
is a. hang dating from the
ancient days of John Hays Secretary
ship Of State. Hughes is proud that
no administration ever had so enor-
| nous a proportion of its foreign
treaties approved by the Senate. Ger
tainly no State Department within
| the span of four years ever had 81
| treaties ratified.
Mnndute Treaties Additional
In addition to the formal treaties

mandate treaties with Europe and
Japan that were signed abroad and

Look Inside?
BY IDA NJ. TARBELL.

IF you cannot find it anywhere
else, look into this"
1t might not be amiss to add to the
efficiency notices above our desks a
paraphrase of this note:
When you cannot find it in the
files look inside your head"
y
A trivial experience, to be sure
but it is not without its lesson-a
lesson which can be carried over into
larger things. The world seems to
be pretty well obsessed these days
with the notion. that II can find sure
la abor-saving devices to which to
hand over all of it's problems: Out
side law instead of inside self-con
troll: wholesale organization instead
of retail education; formulae for rul-
ing men strong in logic but weak in
knowledge OF human nature. We try
so hopefully and drop in such black
despair when they work badly.
We should not despair, we still
have our heads. And 1t Is quite mi
raculous what head. when used,
will do in solving problems that have
not yielded to law, organization or
formula, only-and here is the rub
1t Is hard, personal work, the kind
that we would like to train a pony
to do for us.
But IL we finch at the work 1t will
encourage us to remember that one
advantage of using your head In
stead of depending upon a pony is
that you always have 1T with you !;
and also that, using 1t, you will be
continually coming upon things
which you did not know you owned,
so that soon you will have a sense of
being richer than you ever knew you
were-richer in strong, beautiful, de-
sirable things which have no place
In files and organizations and for
mulae.
A very great man OF old, ST. Au-
gustine, after trying various schemes
devised in his time for saving mems
souls and giving them a joyful life,
being still unsatisfied, looked inside.
What he found for his soul-and that
Is his great story--we need not touch
on here. 1t is what he found in his
mind-incident we may say. to
his master struggle-that is to the
point:
Men go abroad to admire the
heights of mountains, the mighty bill
lows of the sea, the broad tides of
rivers, the compass Of the ocean and
the circuits of the stars" he says in
his confessions, "and pass themselves
by"
,husiastic over his memory. He talks
of its fields and spacious palaces"
and the innumerable treasures he dis
covered there. *When I enter" he
said, II require what I will to be
brought forth, and something in
stantly comes. Others must be longer
sought after, which are fetched, as 1t
were, out of some inner receptacle.
others rush out in troops, and while
one thing is desired and required,
they start forth, as who should say,
is 1t perchance II These drive
away with the hand Of my heart,
from the face of my remembrance,
until what I wished for be unveiled,
and appear in sight, out of it's secret
place. Other things come up readily,
in unbroken order, as they are call
ed for, those in front making way
for the following; and as they make
way they are hidden from sight,
ready to come when 1 will"
Now, who is going to deny that
there is one of US that does not pos
sess just such place Of treasure in
his mind as st. Augustine found he

Is Religion Losing Out to Jazz?

ed hatred upon ourselves-upon the re-

Hatred Is the most immoral of all

With. practically these words, Rabbi

great to bear. There was not enough
moral oxygen at hand to keep Amer
