Thrace while Italian forces landed in
Anatolia. 1t is thought here that this
danger was discussed at Odessa.
Despite the secret military alliance
which is said to have been concluded
between Turkey and Russia, diplo-
matte circles are skeptical regarding
the likelihood Of any definite promise
by Tchitcherin pledging the Soviets'
active intervention in such conflict.
1t Is argued the Soviet have everything
to lose by taking part in a war at a
moment when they are in desperate
need of European financial aid.
The impression here is that the
Odessa conference was intended pri-
marily as a manifestation of Russo
Turkish friendship and solidarity and
warning to any power whose am
bitions might prompt it to. harbor
projects Of expansion at Turkeys ex-
pense. At the same time. it is ad-
mitted Odessa may be a mere prelude
to something of a more precise nature

STATE POWER

President Coolidge made urgent appeal for
the full of the powers of the several states of
this union, in his address at William and Mary col
lege in Virginia He took the ground that the
national government can not attend properly to
the functions of the local which should
be left to the states But he warned the states
that unless they do their duty and look after their
affairs diligently and we'll, there will be in
creased demand for the national government to
step in and look after these neglected duties
The tendency growing for good
many years, if the state governments did not at
tend to certain jobs, to pass the buck up to the
national government Uncle Sans authority was
regarded such big and powerful and efficient
thing, that all looked up to him to do the
things we often too indolent to do for
selves.
But while the government of the various states
is often unsatisfactory, it is at least subject to
home influence. If the people of any state
not satisfied with this that condition, they can
easily put in their appearance at the state capital
and put up complaint against it that will be
heard.
But these people might agitate and
agitate for years, and yet get attention paid to
their demands at Washington. The trouble would
not be so much that congress was not theoretically
interested, that in the press of problems coming
from all over 48 states, only the most urgent
could obtain attention and relief.

THE SEARCH FOR SEcLUSION

When they go away for summer rest
people want to get as far as possible from human
contacts, while some rush into the biggest crowd
they find, and do not seem satisfied unless
is stepping their foes or jostling their
elbows every minute.
President Coolidge, as stated at Washington
is choosing the former alternative, and is expected
to spend his vacation at a secluded camp in the
Adirondack forests. After meeting day after day
the procession of seekers for legislation and of
fees and favors that constantly asks his aid it is
natural for him to desire to get away to some
place where it is possible to think and act like
normal human being. Even there, il he goes out
to any public place. there will be jam of curiosity
seekers to see what kind of clothes he wears and
what real president looks like.
There are many people in ordinary occupa
tions that feel the same way. School teachers
frequently get into the same mood. After deal
ing with 40 so contrary and obstinate little Wills
and the conflicting desires of their parents, for

USELESS LABOR WARFARE

The thought that came TO most Americans
when they read that the general strike in Great
Britain over that vast loss has occurred
without any special result being attained. The
agreement to end the strike is of the nature of
compromise, and this compromise might just as
wen have been made in the first place.
Both elements have approached the situation
in the wrong spirit. The capitalists thought that
an underpaid element of people would be satisfied
with further long POstpOnements Of relief. and the
employees SGT the idea that minority element
could bluff the whole people and force them to
do what they wanted.
The whole thing ought to be a lesson to war
ring industrial elements everywhere, to give judi
cia consideration 10 points Of view different from
their oSSn. Like wars, such conflicts are wholly
needless, and they niure all elements in society.
