U. S. EMERGING
AS LEADER in
DISARM am ENT

GENEVA, Feb. 14.-The United
States is emerging as the logical
leader in the movement for interna-
tional disarmament rs n result of
England S expected rejection of the
Geneva protocol, now being discuss
ed by England and her dominions.
England S inability to accept the
protocol has caused no surprise in
League of Nations circles and even
the French delegates recognize the
nocessitv of adapting it to chang
ed political situation, although they
are supporting it in principle.
Under these circumstances the
meeting .of the league counsel on
March 9 is expected to result in ac-
ceptance of the inevitable and dis
cussions will be postponed until
the September assembly.
Sentiment here today indicates
Geneva protocol will then be re-
drafted to deal only with arbitra-
tion matters and a separate conven-
ton will be drawn up to deal with
the question of disarmament. Lord
Cecil is convinced the protocol could
be revised on n basis by merely
pledging the signatories to accept
obligatory arbitration without re-
curing them to enforce the deci-
sions against recalcitrants.
1t is also pointed out that Ger
many's probable admission to the
League of Nations in September
will facilitate adoption of an arbi-
tration protocol, especially if dis
armament and sanctions are not in
volved.
This condition makes any disarma
ment conference which may be call
ed by President Coolidge an undis-
guised blessing to the work of the
league, as it would remove the ques-
tions which have blocked adoption
of the Geneva protocol from the
new document.

side drift toward Collins cell had
been started secretly was denied by

ness of the ledge readily and it was
feared blunder might precipitato
the whole force into the so feet

Gary's Rule Of Gold.
Only five days before announcing
these excessive profits chairman Gary
said: IF one should ask whether or
not there is any panacea for the ills
that sometimes appear to the moral,
political, social or economic life OF the
nation, the answer is, Yes, by the
general adoption and practice of the
golden rule If any one protests that
this is impracticable such a one, of
course, refers to others and does not
include himself. In determining the
application Of the golden rule, not
only individuals but aggregations
should become active participants"
Gary also suggests that "alI Of us
must constantly and conscientiously
look into our own hearts and strive to
overcome what, if anything, is
wrong" Does he find in his own heart
the suggestion that such mammoth
profits warrant an increase in the 40
cents an hour basic wage Of the cor
poration of which he is dictator? Or
reduction in prices of products
which affect the price Of practically
every item in the cost of living to-
day?
Quite the contrary He brings out
of his heart the proposal that steel
magnates once again form a ring to
raise prices and wiring even larger
profits out of the country. That is
Gary's idea-the golden rule inside
the employing class-but exploitation
for labor. Gary isn't waiting for pie
in the sky.
