 The increased capitalization fea- ture will not commend itself so forcetuIIy to the public There are many who believe that if the ob- icct of consolidation is to save money and reduce expenses, il ought not be necessary to increase capitalization by 25 per cent.

WH,T IS DISARMAMENT?

out of this conference we eX- pect some practical result re- marked President Coolidge at Ar lington during his Memorial day address. He referred 10 the prepar- atory disarmament conference just completed in Geneva.
 But when representative Of the European nations sat around the table to debate disarmament they were utterly unable to agree as to what constituted armament. School boys might be Of the impression that armament consists of weapons shooting irons. cannon. powder and the like. But multitude of Europeans think differently. They insist that all resources of 8 na- tion-material. natural industries; rivers. mists. bogs, fogs, ocean currents. climate; population, the birth rate. the death rate. health, and mental complex - all these they assert seriously, are part of ornaments,
 nation with few natural re- sources. small population and the inferiority complex generally ought to be allowed greater armament than those better blessed by the nature and the tides, they aver.
 From this it would appear that Denmark, Holland, Latvia, lithu- ania and Belgium are entitled to the heaviest ornaments in Europe, while Switzerland at least is en- titled to a large navy. The United States, finding herself by nature the most armed" nation in the world by dint of her immense natural and material resources. would be en- titled 10 not rifle nor a battle ship.
 Obviously. such a view is ridicu- lous; but is valuable in showing how insincere some Of the Euro pcan nations are upon the subject of disarmament. The American am bassador in London evidently was right when he recently told the secretary of state the European na- tions had learned very little since 1914 despite the price they paid for their experiences since that time.
 Tine American view at Geneva has been that only visible arma- ments are capable of eyaluation, either for limitation or reduction. The Americans are DO hands at mental Iegerdemain.

For all practical purposes the subsidiary lines of the New York Central railroad already are oper- atel as onc system, but a "9a9- year lease" would have inc effect Of welding all oG them into one im- m,nsg company, like inc PennsyI- vanta lines; and il would provide the biggest system in the country. first in mileage, tonnage and in every other olrmrut Of railroad greatness.

MOsIL ATROCITIES AND OIL

Of all the multifarious comments resulting from the action of Fur key in acquiosctng 10 the decision Of the League of Nations in award ing the vilayet of Mosul to Great Britain one finds no mention of the report of General Laidoncr of Esthonia, which was made to the League after he was delegated to visit Inc disputed territory and gather first hand information.
 The l.aidoner report created an immense sensation al the time of its publication last fall It had a tremendous influence in the award of the League. and wus calculated 10 swing civilized public opinion throurhout lhe world in favor of the British view that it ought 10 have this rich oiI-bcaring land.
 General 1.atdoner was appointed in September, 1925, 10 head q League mission to investigate the Brt,ish-Turkizh dispute The mis- sion had its report ready .hy De camber, and reported 10 the Lcague. The Council of the League permitted is publjcmion.s which uudor large headlines informed the world that the Turks in that area had committed bmberous and arocious acts unsurpassed in his tory, except by Turkey, since the Roman prosecutions Of tlr Chris tians.
 With this blast against Turkish atrocities shaking the worlds emo- tions. the British diplomats could afford 10 sit back and await de yclopmcnts. confident that nobody with sense would wish to have such barbarous Turks in power over oil lands A year previously the willy British had signed the Treaty of Lausanne with inc Turks - five other nations joining. But that was a different matter; il had nothing to do with Mosuh .......

League refused to appear at the discussion of the dispute over the Turkish-Irak frontier, which in- cludes Mosul, but instead sent a letter stating the matter was not within the jurisdiction of the League Council.
 The Council, of course, went right ahead with the matter re- gardlcss of what the Turks claimed about jurisdiction. In December, so the record reads. after listening 10 an account of Turkish atrocities in the debated area, the Council of the Leaeue unanimously voted al a private session 10 give Mosul as far north as the Brussels line to Irak. which is under mandate to Great Britain, on condition that Great Britain extend the mandate 10 25 years and negotiate economic agreements between Irak and Tur- ley"
 From this it is possible 10 con clude the League Council based it's decision partly if not wholly upon the I.aidoner report. The only op- poncnts 10 the decision in the British House Of Commons were the Laborites, who walked out of the building fin protest" against accepting the decision. leaving the remaining members to approve il fin principle" nearly unanimously Two months later the House of Commons ratified the Irak treaty, but not unanimously, 116 members being registered against 1t. About this time Turkey signed treaty with Russia and dark clouds hung in the sky.
 From that time until a few days ago nothing of importance Uas heard about the Mosul affair, until Turkey finally announced 1t would agree. there evidently being noth ing else to do about it. The alleged atrocities have been forgotten, and far from being a source of disdain and anger, Turkey has been given to understand she may expect substantial loan from British bank CTS; partly, no doubt, as reward for acting decent and acquiescing in the Mosul decision.
 Although the British are given preferred position in the develop mont of Mosul oil, they are carry ing out the spirit of the Versailles treaty regarding the administration of mandated territory. The treaty provides that no nation shall he barred from economic opportuni- ties" in any mandated territory So wc find that inc shares Of the Turkish Petroleum Company have been equally divided among the British, Americans, French and Dutch. This company has the coll crssion for exploitation of the Mo sul field. A group of American oil companies holds 25 per cent of the American stock in the company.
 All is now well. There will be no var between Turkey and Brit ain. no moro atrocity reports, bu, plenty of oil.

PRIMARY REVELATIONS

The family. relatives, friends and acquaintances of Governor Pinchot of Pennsylvania are no pikers. When the governor goes in for a thing they have confidence in him and arc willing to back him to the limit. Revelations that the neat sum of S191,000 was spent on his behalf in the recent Pennsylvania three-cornered senatorial primary setting lip a mark nearly equalling what was expended by Truman Newberry Of Michigan - proves the contention that the Pennsyl- vania governor not only is ambi- tious but has friends who are will ing to pay heavily for the exper- fence that goes with it.
 But Pinchot's monetary fling pales into a fade-out when com pared with that Of Senator Pepper, for whom s500.0Q0 was spent in the Pittsburgh district alone, ac- cording to the figures brought to light by the senate committee. Such prodigality by the Mellon Pepper machine packers indicates how serious the administration re- garded the Pennsylvania fight. When the figures for the remainder of the state are brought to the at tention of the inquisitiye senator Reed of Missouri the charge that around s2,Q00,o0Q was spent in the Keystone primary may be well sus- taincd.
 Who contributes the money and for what purpose? In the case oi Governor Pinchot there no doubt was considerable family pride in back. of the donations. But in the case of Senator Pepper, what did his contributors expect to get out of the election. and how? Senator Pepper himself did not need 10 "N- pend much - only s2.5Q0 -- but those who backed him to the limit must have been spurred by motives Chat Senator Reeds committee could follow up with value to the public.
 Vare's contributions on behalf Of himself totalIed a fat $71,ooo; but this was only q small proportion of the total expended on behalf of the Philadelphia boss. The campaign for wine and beer costs money these days and where the money comes from and how the contribu- tors expect a return is just as in teresting 10 learn as the sum total expended
 When Newberry was condemned for an expenditure of $l95.o0o the senate observed that the sum was "too large" and "contrary to sonnd public policy, harmful 10 the honor and dignity of the Senate and d"n- gerous to the perpetuity Of fl'eo government" and inc expenditure was "sayeroIy condemned and dis approved"
 A little more than mere condem- nation should follow in the wake O. the Pennsylvania primary.
