cessfuI arms conference in Europe during the
present year, according to Frank H. Simonds,
American expert on international affairs, writing
from Paris The preliminary conference to be
held, Mr. Simonds declares, will devote itself to
fine spun and highly involved technical questions
He has come to his conclusions after extensive
inquiries in England and France.
This news will doubtless come as a shock to
some of our own good people who thought that,
as soon as Uncle Sam decided to join the confer
ence, it would all work out beautifully and with
little effort. On the other hand Mr.. SimOnds
says, Europeans cannot understand why the
United States should have suddenly developed a
great interest in the question Of disarmament, and
our stand involves little if any enthusiasm.
The truth of the matter appears to be that the
European nations would little rather Uncle Sam
had not agreed to come to a conference on the
limitation of arms. They don't want to cut down
their armies themselves, and if we had refused
to join the conference they would have blamed its
failure on the United States. And think what
lovely time our own internationalists would have
had agreeing with them.
The fact is that most of the European nations
are really afraid to disarm. Each of them is sus-
picious of the other despite the League of Ma,
tions, and fears that the other will try to ''put
something over" And yet there are good people
in the United States who say we should join the
league and cast our lot with these nations whC
don't even trust one anOtherl

DEMOCRATIC PROSPECTS.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-While it is
to be expected that the fortunes of
war at the coming congressional cleo
tions will turn SO the Republicans
may lose some seats, the Democratic
claims of earlier In the season, that
this was to be a great banner year
for the party Of the donkey, have
quieted down.
For the purpose Of the campaign on
the Republican side there Is to be
a complete union of the National COM
mittee under William M. Butler who
swung the Coolidge line in twenty
four, the Senatorial committee under
Senator Phipps, and the COngressiOn-
al committee under Congressman
Woods Of Indiana all working to-
gether for the common cause.
AS for the Democrats controlling
the senate, that thought has vanished.
The Democrats must gain ten seats
to control the senate and this they
cannot do. Should they carry five
possible states they would have only
forty-fOur senators, to fifty-One for
the Republicans, a nominal Republican
majority. The twenty-eight states
where no change is indicated include
Massachusetts and New York, where
the contests viii be particularly hot
But should the party in these two IN
expectedly win it still would fal
short Of control. Should it gain tw:
more, a total Of nine, the Senat'
might be tied, and the vote Of th'
vice president, should the Farmer
Labcr senator, Shipstead, go with tn,
minority to make a tie, would over
come that and give the Republican
a majority Of one. But when on
goes that far, it would be just as i
one should soberly speculate IS t.
whether or not the moon is made o
green cheese.

FINE NON-vOTERs.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The com
monwealth Of Australia, like the
United States, has been bothered By
the absentee voter, the citizen fully
qualified who has ignored his Oppor-
tnnity. The average Of eligibles who
vote has been about the same in Aus
tralia as in the United, States, but
the. fact that forty per cent OF the
people refrained from attending the
nolls worried the Australians. At the
last session Of the Australian legis-
lature, with very little discussion, a
compulsory voting bin was passed i'm
posing a penalty Of ten dollars on
those who failed to vote. At the last
election ninety-One per cent Of those
enrolled exercised the franchise snd
the credit is given to the new law
Ia New York the Legislative league
has unanimously endorsed a bill n
the state legislature at Albany which
also fines nm-voters ten dollars

PRAISE FOR CONGRESS.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Notwith-
standing the temptation 70 threw
stones at congress, to vocalize and
editOralize that body as a whole and
the individual members, the people Of
the United States have a pretty de-
cent and respectable legislative as
sembly. We all probably talk more
than we should, and write more than
we should. There is hokum and bun
comb in many Of the solemn phrases
under the dome. Indeed the president
Of the United States not so long AGO.
perhaps a bit indiscreetly, but with
some truth, sought to advise the peo-
pie Of the country that all is not gold
which. gftters, sand that now and then
/ there was a little politics in even the
most elaborate OratOrical product in
congress.
But the fact is congress is making
good. When for example Republicans
and Democrats are able to get to-
gether, as they did on the tax bill and
enact such a measure, not as a poht-
ical but as a patriotic act, and then
stand in Photographic attitudes be-
hind the president while he signed it,
it is clear that representative govern
ment still lives. The spirit with
which for example, the development
Of a great inland waterways system
is being undertaken is another char
acteristic. The congressional attitude
toward reclamation projects, the un-
derlying sincerity Of all the agita-
ton for farm relief, and all activities
Of this sort go a long way to dispose
Of even the most vitroic comments
The truth is that in the end congress
muddles through.

Without reproducing mechanical de-
tails, the setting creates the impress
sion of a factory interior, which the
play devotes to the production of gas.
A large wheel is suspended above the
center of the stage, and latticed steel
structures fill in the background.
The colors are gray and black, with
two reds for vividness. They serve
only to cover the structure of the set
and no effect is made to create scenic
effect. The emotional stimulus of
color is supplied entirely through the
use of light.
The stage is left largely in shadow
throughout the play, with beams of
light focusing on the immediate &C
ton. Every unit of the set is used
and essential to the action of the play,
in accordance with the constructive
tic ideal of making the stage, as we'll
as the members of the cast, act.
