A HATEFUL WEEK IN LEAGUE OF NATIONS

The miserable internal wrangle that afflicted the League of Nations last week is destined 10 be solved within the noNt six days -- unless such q reckoning is postponod--or else this exalted association of na- lions is destined 10 be pushed over tho brink Into the limbo of innocu- ous dcsuctudc,
 That tho outlook is not one Of black despair, however, Is indicated hy the plan for an assembly hall and new building in Geneva 10 cost l7 millions of dollars, So far as having a home -- an international parliamentary building-there will be nothing left 10 the imagination, Would that tho functionIng Of the League were equally assured,
 We are Inclined to agree with tho British press --- and tho American press -- that tho present difficulties of the League arc due entirely to the egotistical prctcnsions of Sir Austen Chamberlain, the British foreign secretary, who with Prem fer Briand Of France, shared the honors of being the heroes Of tho Locarno pact. The adulation that ensued from Locarno evidently went to their heads, but more 80 in connection with the Briton than with the Gaul. Chamberlain's ab- goluto refusal to go 10 Geneva bound by any instructions emanat- ing from his government gave the impression he thought himself big ger than the government. He spurned all warnings, was shifty in his cvasions when questioned, and now that his "backsta!rs bargain ing" has been pretty well exposed, persists in attempting to save his political face.
 The League is supposed to be an association of nations, not an as- sociation of secret diplomats.

IGNORING COLTN!BIS

The Italian nation, it appears, is going to recognize Christopher Co., lumbus. according 10 a headline. This is rather surprising, but tho story beneath the headline was rather Illuminating. The Italian senate approved a bill by which October 1o, the day on which in" navigator discovered America, will be proclaimed q national holiday
 It is better late than never, as the old saw runs; but even with out a national holiday to com memerato the event, the Italian na- ton never lacked justitiable pride in the achievement of the nayiga- tor from Genoa.

STORROW'S VIVID LIFE


 Many will remember the late
 James J. Sorrow best through his devastating report upon the New
 England railroad situation in 1922.
 This was issued while the banker was the chairman of a special com-
 mission 10 study New England transportation. The commission was appointed by Governor Cox of Massachusetts in an effort to get at the bottom of the railroad ail-
 ment. Although the constructive
 program embodied in the report
 was never adopted, due largely to
 the strenuous objections of the New Haven railroad, the report
 was universally regarded as the
 most thorough ever attempted in i this tier of states. One good indi- rect purpose served was to cause the New Haven railroad 10 watch it's step.
 But this was only part of the lifetime activities of this remark able man. From his early days at Harvard, to the days when he be- came a prominent lawyer, a bank CT and q fnancier; through his days of public service in reorganiz- ing the Boston school committees; the promotion of new ideas in the city and through the legislature; his attempt at the mayoralty upon good government platform, and his defeat because he stood in silk
 stockings; and his conspicuous
 work as a member Of the city coun-
 cil - during all these years he was citizen Of outstanding integrity and activity. He became fuel ad- ministrator of New England during
 inc war and chairman of the
 Massachusetts public safety com mltro.
 Whenever there was an onpor- unity for public service and honor, Mr. Storrow was relied upon 10 fill the job with distinction. But in
 spite of his being a Democrat he was not elected to high office be- cause he was rich.
 Without bcing elected mayor of Boston his achievements for his na- tive city were more distinctive and lasting than these of many a
 mayor His two distinctive achieve monts wcrc 10 obtain from the leg islature the passage Of the school nursrs bill and bring about the Charles river cmbankmcnt against powerful opposition.
 Democracy suffers by having too faw men of &u. Sorrows distin- suishcd ability enrolled in its ranks; and ono of ifs weaknesses that mon of that typo are enor- moIaly handicapped in getting elected 10 office.

WISCONSIN CHILDREN
 FOUND TO BE PITIFUL
Survey of Child Welfare Shows Many Orphans Not Being
 Given Tai" Chance.

Washington, March IS F>-Tho children's bureau of the labor de- partmcnt, in a report last night on a study of child indcnturc in Wis consin, said it had found that many of tho children affected worked virtually as unpaid servants. were often deprived of schooling and recreation, and some were cruelty treated.
 Of $40 indonturc homas invosti- gated at the request of Wisconsin authorities, it said, AS per cent were judged detrimental 10 the children, A per cent satisfactory and s per cent high grade. Ono boy convalcscing from pneumonia was placed out on contract to do farm work; another died of tubcr- culoss soon after q ten months round of chores; q girl of fl work ed as nursomaid, cook and lnun- dress, and attended school irrcgu- larly but was kept from church and Sunday school by her foster mother because "her mind was distracted from her work enough at school as it was"
 The children were indcntured on written contracts by the state pub lie school at Sparta, 10 which they had been committed usually be- cause of neglect, abandonment, poverty or the immortality of par ents. Child indcnture, the bureau remarked, is still permitted in Ar kansas, Illinois, Kansas, Maryland. Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Nir- ginia, West Virginia. Indiana, Michigan, Nevada and Nisconsin,
