and to then turn it over and look at it
from what is known as possible po-
litical viewpoint. He has done this to
the opposition that already has pre-
scented itself in connection with this
legislation. In the opinion OF those
who are in the Presidents confidence,
the opposition in question Is more
than 80 per cent political. At least
the opposition is being aroused princi-
pally for political gain. Therefore, 1t
is natural to expect the opposition TO
be confined principally to Democrats

study Of the situation the President Is
satisfied that there is a marked diVl-
sion in the ranks Of the minority party
In this matter, and If the opposition
is to succeed 1t must gain the sup
port of a number of Republicans. At
the present writing there is no evil
dence of a possible stampede on the
part of Republicans. On the con.
trary, a preliminary survey or the SIT
uation shows no eagerneSS on the part
of any material number of Republi-
cans to desert the administration
forces and cast their lot with the OPP
position. Senator Borah already has
signified his intention to lend his ora
tory in opposition to ratification.
Those Republican Senators who are
entertaining fears about the coming
elections and who are anxious to have
the debt settlement side-tracked until
after the balloting Is over. realizing
that the chances to accomplish this
are very slim, are now planning a
counter move by having the settle
ment plan referred to the foreign
relations committee Of the Senate for
consideration of certain foreign as
poets associated with the ratification
of the plan. Their object in doing
this is with the idea of possibly dig

Arms Conference Is Unhealthy
From Point of View of British

! All European peoples feel accurate
| ly enough that they are engaged in
| a life or death struggle for survival
and that their difficulties are vastly
! Increased because we have chosen
| to be exigent rather than generous.
! They all have equal reason for dis
| liking us and they do. Enthusiasm
| over our coming to Europe or enter
| ing the league is rigidly limited to
a very small section of pro-leaguers
/ In each country. For the rest we
! simply constitute a new element to
| be dealt with but not in the small

| followed Europe does not want our
advice or our political CO. operation;
| it does want our cash and our credit:
1t does hope to find way to escape
the burdens of debts to U.S. and it
is slowly. but surely, settling down
to a clearly European state Of
mind in which there are mutual
understandings and very mutual
comprehensions. totally beyond
American appraisal
AS for coming to Washington for q
new naval conference. that is outside
the purpose of any European country
now. The British simply will not con-
slider any further reduction of
not listen to any prohibition of the
submarine and no one wants to pre-
cipitate d new fight between France
and Italy on the one hand and Britain
on the other, such as wrecked the lat
ter half of the Washington confer
ence. On the contrary, France, Brit
ain and Italy are getting on admirably
and are equally eager to avoid con
tentious subjects.
In a word, seen from the London
viewpoint, the whole arms conference
affair IS in the main an unreality. All
governments find it useful to satisfy
certain domestic sentiment by sol
EMMY asserting to the principle of
disarmament and publicly agreeing to
conference to deal with 1t. But 1t is
generally realized that any real effort
to bring about sensible limitations
now would lead to q new European
chaos almost as bad as that which has
now been abolished. The invitation to
America to come was, so says Lon
don. mainly the result of a Washing
ton intimation that it desired to be in
vited. and the American presence is
apt TO be an embarrassment. not a
benefit. and to give a dangerous APP
pearance of reality to something which

have announced that we are on the
way.
Our coming blocked the plan for an
indefinite postponement; now follow
ing a limited delay, some other way
will have to be found to drag out what
cannot be avoided. Doubtless when
the conference meets there will be an
endless high-sounding declaration from
all quarters and an indefinite effort to
give the appearance of reality. This
may deceive, but I advise my readers
to watch the results. not the pro-
spectus. Not fully prepared for our
sudden decision to come Europe has
adjourned the Geneva meeting not SO
much to reach an agreement as to
disarmament as to decide what to do
with the United States.

Throne Rights for Sale
By MOntenegrin Heir

Ever since the last earthly remains
of the old "Banus" were carried 10
the top of Black Mountain and rein
tered In the presence of King Alex
ander 1t has been evident that Monte
negro will not be a separate king
dom again for some time.
The logical heir to Montenegro's
throne. Prince Petar. third son of old
King Nikolas, seems to realize this
as well as any one. King Nikolas
was a shrewd f1nancier. He knew
how to persuade several. emperors
and kings to pour gold into his
strongbox. The Cars of Russia. the
King of Italy and the Emperor OF
Austria all contributed. Prince Pc
tar inherited some of the old mans
business instinct and is said to he
dickering with an English firm with
the view to- selling his rights to the
throne. Petar is asking the Jugoslav
government for nearly $4,000, 900 for
relinquishing his rights. He hopes
to cash in on his rights at a discount
and let the English firm fight il out
with the Jugoslavs.

ture which is at the moment worth
eculating about. On the contrary /
say quite frankly that 1t seems on the
surface of things entirely doubtful il
Great Britain, for example, would look
with approval on the present reduction
of French, Polish or Rumanian armies
just as it is recognized as absurd even
to imagine that Italy in it's present
mood will reduce its forces.
The announcement that the United
States has decided to adhere to the
World Court and come to the Geneva
conference will lead to a new stimula-
ton of interest in American purposes.
Every nation in Europe will naturally
speculate upon the degree to which
it may be possible to make use of this
new and mighty factor to it's own in
terests, which in the nature of things
will seem legitimate. The British
will believe our presence can be en-
ployed to restrain their good French
allies. where they are a bit too press
ing; the Germans will believe that our
views of disarmament may be turned
to their advantage, since they are for
the moment almost identical.
But despite all this, every country
in Europe is, to say the least, plainly
suspicious of what 1t may mean for
us to come poking into what IS. after
all. the purely European question of
relative military strengths. There has
been no agreement between the great
powers as to restriction of ornaments
and no conference could conceivably
lead to any success until there had
been substa ntial agreement between
the mair: conference in advance of the
more or less formal assembling in
Geneva. Great Britain, France and
Germany reach agreements in Lon
don, Paris ,or Berlin, afterwards they
go to Locarno or Geneva and go
through public motions which carry
out private bargains. But now there
have been no private agreements.
Such satisfaction AS there is in
Great Britain, speaking broadly, over
our return, grows out of the belief
that there is more chance of our
agreeing with Britain than with any
continental country. But 1t would be
idle not to recognize that even here
our coming awakens misgivings. There
Is the feeling that we shall complicate
more than contribute. and at least one
whole section Of the dominant politi-
cal party would greatly prefer that we
STAYED at home and minded our own
business.
Speaking purely ana Simply from
the London point of view, my judg-
ment is that the arms conference
which has already been postponed
will be in its present stage a wholly
unimportant affair so far as positive
results are concerned. AS / have
said. a conference can succeed only
where there has been substantial
previous secret agreement. All the
agreements that are possible now
are purely negative. Britain and
France can and may agree not to
dispute, to take the line which will
insure long and exhaustive investi-
cations and avoid any real discus
sions. The affair may be kept alive
by postponements until the political
bargains have been made. Then the
full dress parade can be held at
Geneva.

be shown to a nation headed by him.
Because of this aspect of the settle
ment question these Senators insist
that the Senate body should turn the
matter over to the foreign relations
committee to study and to make a
report before the proposal to approve
the plan Is offered on the floor of the
Senate. Senator Smoot, chairman of
the Senate finance committee, who
will handle the plan fight for the
administration, is preparing to defeat
any such attempt as this. He has
served notice that he will bring the
plan before the Senate for action
just as soon as possible. He said he
,, was only awaiting to get the tax re-
duction bill out of the way. Now that
that has been accomplished the Italian
debt can be looked for at any mo-
ment.
Those Democratic leaders in the
Senate who have been engineering a
movement to defeat ratification are
not trying to hide their political mo-
tives. They contend that there has
been too much bipartisan treatment
of legislation during this session of
Congress and that the Republicans
are getting all the glory for the &C.
complishments and will reap the real
benefits later on when they go Oe1ore
the electorate. Some of the Demo,

so-called bipartisan arrangement ar.
que that the rank and file Of people

cause Of its unwarranted liberality.
