LOcarnO Conference
and League of Nations

To the Editor OF The Star:
Articles frequently appear in The
Star commenting on the Locarno
conference which tend to dissociate
the results of that conference from
the League of Nations. Perhaps The
Star win publish an opposite view.
The Locarno conference never would
have been held if there had been no
League of Nations. Some have said
the results of that conference were
blow" to the league and World
Court of International Justice.
This shows a misconception Of the
purpose Of the league, the World
Court and the Locarno conference.
The purpose Of these bodies is to
reach and establish world peace by
means of combination. arbitration and
international law. These means hav-
ing been put in successful operation,
disarmament will follow as a neces-
sary consequence.
Members Of this combination prom
ise to defend any member against an
unwarranted attack by any other
nation. Such combinations as this
are not in conflict with the covenant
of the league, but are recognized by
it. Articles 1S to 81. inclusive of the
covenant recognize the right of mem
bers to enter into international en-
gagements." "arbitrations, +" treaties" f"
obligations" regional understand
ings." that are not inconsistent with
terms of the covenant, and require
that they be registered with the sec
retariat.
The LOcarno conference was very
careful to keep within the terms of
the covenant, and fulfilled all its re
quirements.
The covenant Of the league is SINH
lar TO the Constitution of the United
States. Article 10 of the amendments
To the Constitution reads: The pow
ers not delegated to the United States
by the Constitution, nor prohibited by
II to the States, are reserved to the
States, respectively, or to the people" j"
SO the powers not delegated by mem
bers or the league to the covenant
are reserved to the members. respec-
lively The powers delegated to the
league and It's covenant by its mem
bers are very few, COMPARED with the
powers delegated by the States to the
Constitution Of the United States The
members Of the league have the right
TO make as many treaties. or enter
into as many international engage
ments as they please. provided they
are not inconsistent with the cove
nant. just as the States have TO
frame constitutions and laws TO suit
.'l'Ii'9eiH He9' PROVIDED lheV keep with
in the limits Of the Constitution
The LoCarno conference simply
utiIlzes the reserved powers Of mem
bers OF the league to provide subordi-
nate methods of settling disputes be.
tween nations. If these methods fail.
the cases may be referred to the
World Court or the council of the
league.
The States provide subordinate
tribunals and methods Of settling dis
putes without recourse TO the longer
and more expensive way of the courts.
Sometimes an individual may be ap-
pointed to settle a dispute. But these
snort and inexpensive methods are not
a blow to the judicial system Of the
State.
This is just what the Locarno con
ference did. A. S. DAGGETT

Remaining Cities
From the Youngstown Gindicator.

The civil development department
of the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States finds from a study of
the origin Of names of cities in 81
States that in the last five years SO
changes in names have been made.
One-third of this number Of changes
WIS made in New York State The
changes made throughout the country
in this period outnumbered those of
the preceding five years by more than
four to one. Last year "a changes in
names were made and the first half
of this year 81 towns took new names.
The department says that 1t is ap-
parent that interest in local names
has increased, due largely to the de-
sire to avoid duplication Of names and
the many annoyances that arise
from it.
1t is many years since the Post
Office Department in establishing Off
ces avoided the duplication of names
in the interest of prompt forwarding
of mail without the chance of it's being
sent to towns of similar names.
The changes that have been made
of late, such as the shortening by drop
ping a word, are not slight, but new
names have been adopted. This is
possible now, where once 1t would
have been impossible because of senti-
ment against such a change. 1t has
been no easy thing to change the
names Of towns and streets with
which people have hong been familiar.

Henry Lansburgh.

Henry Lansburgh's death shocks
Washington because Of its suddenness
and because Of the loss which is suf
fered in the passing OF so valuable
and active and generally beloved
citizen.
a native OF this city. a participant
in its business life during his entire
adult career, Henry Lansburgh showed
TO the community two sides, both ad-
mira Die. He was an active business
man devoted to the establishment
founded by his father, progressive. In
tent upon expansion and development.
He was also an ardent member of the
Masonic order and quite as active in
its service. He was one of those busy
men who are never too busy to serve
in causes for the public welfare.
There was third aspect, however.
" Henry Lansburgh's life Of which
not many were aware. Blessed with
the true spirit Of charity. he gave
freely to all worthy causes and OBJ
jects. His purse was ever open to ap-
peals. There was no measure or limit
to his giving. and doubtless he kept
no reckoning. Regardless OF race or
faith, all who were in need found in
him a helper.
Such a man is deeply and sincerely
mourned when he is taken, and es-
pecially IN the prime of life and with
out warning. Washington is the
poorer for his loss. but the richer for
his years of helpful citizenship.

President Snyder
On Hired Athletes

From the Greenville Piedmont.
Two hundred alumni of Wofford
College assembled at a banquet at
Florence and heard a striking speech
from President Henry Nelson Snv-
der. After agreeing with Gov
Mcleod that foot ball is the only
sport which is not Con1mercialized
generally, he said, according TO the
Florence News-Review.
TT Is the last citadel of amateur
sport by gentlemen. II we have to
hire our men, the sooner we get rid
of foot ball at Wofford the better.
We don't want to think of our stu
dents as purchasable commodity.
1t would poison young manhood at
Its source"
President Snyder then said that
some alumni had approached him
with requests that he allow them to
send a scout "out West TO get foot
ball squad. but he replied: Gentle
men. there are two reasons why !
cannot permit this: First. it Is not
honest: second. it reflects on the
physical manhood of our own State.
He went on to say that he likes the
color, romance and Zest of foot ball
and that discipline at college is bet
ter because of sports.
OF course, the Wofford president Is
right. Hiring players is not honest
from the viewpoint Of clean. honor
able sport and it does reflect upon
the physical manhood of South Car
olina. If, In the normal course of
events, colleges cannot have foot
ball teams without employing play
ers, then it would be better not to
have foot ball at all. The usual alfbi
that one college must hire players
because another Is doing 1t is a
mighty poor defense.

Future of the Submarine
Seems No Nearer Solution

The cloak of evil which the late
war spread about the undersea boat
still makes the submarine an outlaw
in the eyes of many American editors
in the face of official pronouncementS
by American officialdom, which rank
it among the recognized and neces-
sary engines of war.
This attitude is explained by the
st. Paul Dispatch, which points out
''at the Washington conference the
British wanted to rule submarines
out altogether, the Americans wanted
to include them in the general scheme
of limitation and the French objected
to any restrictions whatsoever. +"
These national policies to date re
main unchanged" in the opinion of
the Dispatch. From the time Of the

says the Lynchburg Daily Advance,
but is now a lively topic of conver-

comment: THE submarine Is no worse
than war itself-it is only an agency
of war" The New York Times finds
Great Britain alone in the aff1rma-
tive with other great nations still
non-committal or waiting some con-
certed move. while the st. Louis
Post Dispatch affirms that the meas
ure of success that will attend the
movement begun by a number Of
prominent Britishers to abolish the
submarine as a weapon of war de-
pends very largely upon whether
French naval thought has undergone
any change since 1921.

will have nothing to do" with what
they call an Anglo American pro

see with what authority they attach

that sentiment is crystallizing In

Anglo French relations been more
cordial" which gives hope that "the
ground is cleared for the friendly dis
cussion, perhaps for the settlement,
of the submarine question" On this
question the Times-Union declares

lead"
Speaking in similar vein, the
Springfield Republican says: with
the land frontiers protected by
pledge in which Great Britain shares,
it is possible that the French might
bring themselves to a concession IN
the matter of submarines. AS for the
United States, no reason has de-
veloped since the Washington confer

that if the elimination of submarines
could be accomplished it would be a
decided advance in the war upon war"
Banning the submarine would aid
England more than any other nation"
says the Albany Evening News, and
that paper asks: Would England be
willing to relinQuish some other ad-
vantages of her sea power if the sub
marine were banished?" Discussing
this same angle of opinion. the Okla
homa City Daily Oklahoman asserts OF
the submarine that no other arm of
naval warfare has ever issued so dead
ly a challenge to England's domina-
ton of the seas" but it comedies that
apparently the invention of the sub
marine reduced the relative strength
of the American Navy as il did that Of
England" The Bangor Daily Com
mercial sees the superiority Of Eng
land on the water increased" if the
underseas boats should go, and the
Ann Arbor Times-News finds that
country not to blame in seeking the
outlawing of something that is so
great an obstacle TO her absolute
command Of the seas" The Charleston
Evening Post does not see anything
official in the agitation in England and
so expresses itself in the words: The
outcry against the submarine in Brit
ish circles will amount to very little
and the British admiralty will con-
tinue to build undersea boats as long
as they are thought to be effective"

There are no dissenting voices when
limitation Of submarines is suggested.
1T would not grieve most people were
submarines restricted to purely de-
fensive service" says the San Antonio
Evening News. In this connection the
Jersey City Jersey Journal sees in the
future "either the abolition of sub
marines or great reduction in numbers
and the restriction OF their use to ac-
ton against combat ships only" The
opinion of these two newspapers is
widely reflected in other quarters as
to these limitations being observed in
the event of real war. This side OF the
question is voiced by the Pittsburgh
Chronicle Telegraph, which declares
that the thing to be outlawed is war
ITSELF" since there is no such thing az
a humane war"
