THIS AND THAT


Continuing the examination Of
Henry Fielding's unique Introductory
chapters to the various books of his
rom Jones'" we run straight into
the favorite theme of all novelists,
love.
The opening chapter to Book 6 IL
SO headed. In dealing philosophically
with this theme, Fielding takes few
cracks at those who declared in his
time that there IL really no such
thing as love.
Today his remarks apply equally
well to members of certain schools
or psychology. who would reduce life
10 mere matter of actions and re.
actions. based purely upon mocha nj
cal and chemical stimuli.
w neither these philosophers be
the same with that surprising sect.

late DR.. Swift, as having by the mere
rorce OF genius alone. without the
least assistance of any kind of learn
ing. or even reading. discovered that
profound and invaluable secret that
there Is no God or whether they are
not rather the same with those who
some years since very much alarmed
the world. by showing that there
were no such things as virtue or
goodness really existing in huma N
nature. and who deducted our best
actions from pride. | will not here pre-
sumo to determine" 40 says Fielding.
In reality, / am inclined to sus.
pect. that all these several finders Of
truth. are the very Identical men who
are by others called finders of gold.
The method used in both these search
es after truth and after gold, being
indeed one and the same; viz. the
searching, rummaging, and examin.
ing into nasty place; indeed, in the
former instance. into the nastiest Of
all places, a bad mind"
These so-called truth finders" our
author continues. having examined

Practically all the daily arguments
arise because one side to the dispute
Is unwilling to grant the possibility
OF there being any other way to look,

A superficial reading Of ",rhe HE.
tory Of Tom Jones' might lead one to
suppose that the authors idea of love
was of the lowest, a mere animal
passion.
In this chapter. however, Fielding
specifically denies this, and goes on to
discuss true Love, with a capital l..
which, surprising enough, he acti.
cally Identifies with Affection. with a
capital A.

Radio Broadcasting Reform.

Although little promise Of immediate
relief In the radio broadcasting situa.
ton is held out by Secretary Hoover,
small doubt is left in the minds of
those who have watched developments
since radio legislation began taking
chaos of interference in radio recep-
ten win be cleared UP. The new radio
commission authorized under the law
signed few days ago by President
Coolidge has not yet been named. and
even when its personnel finally gets
down to the business of administering
the law. 1t will assuredly he some
months before radio will be back on a
basis as satisfactory as that prior to
a year ago, when a court decision af
firmed the right of broadcasters to
pirate wave lengths and took SUI
preme control of the ether out of the
hands Of the Department Of Com
merce.
Meanwhile it appears that patience
plus will be required Of radio listeners
until the guiding hand Of Government
authority gets to. work on the con-
structive program promised. Secre.
tary Hoover has said that public con.
venience and necessity must be the
guiding spirit behind any move that
may be made to eliminate some Of the
1913 stations that now nightly clutter
up the air. 1t will probably take many
months Of serious work on the part
Of the new commission to sift out
those that do not fall I'm this category.
There is certain to be vigorous effort
on the part of the more than 200
stations which have come on the air
since July l to retain their right to
broadcast. And this Is only one of the
multiplicity of problems the new air
administrators will have to handle.

These VARYING DAYS.

Into each life some rain must

fellow.
lie was, at the same time, no mean
weather profit. especially for the Win
ter season of 1927 in the National
Capital.
The local weather seems to be but
an endless seesaw, with bright sunny
days on one end Of the meteorological
board, rainy ones on the other.
Between the two, faithful Govern
ment clerks, greening grass and aris-
Ing tulips scarcely seem to know what
to do: the Government employees
whether to wear rubbers, the grass
whether to continue sprouting and
the tulips whether to grow up or
down.
Somehow the Weather Bureau and
the ground hog seem to have made a
miserable mess of 1t. No Washing
tonian knows just what may happen
between sunrise and sunset, except
that the rain predicted for today will
not be here until tomorrow.
Delayed rains seem to be in style.
Yet nothing is surer than Longfel-
lows great representation: Rain it
will, rain it must. Saturday and Sun.
day are generally chosen.
For some obscure reasons, precipi.
tation this Winter has selected these
two days, ending and beginning the
week with water.
Perhaps Nature. in preceptorial
mood. wishes to impress upon each
of us the somewhat depressing fact
that life is writ In water.

His exalted highness. the Nizam IF
Hyderabad. having been freed from

Britain's Friendly Gesture.

Acceptance by the British govern
ment of President Coolidge's invitation
to q conference looking to the further
limitation of naval ornaments I!
gratifying as an evidence of gooo
will and friendly accord. even If the
destinations of France and Italy al
ready, had robbed the proposed con
ference of most of it's possibilities
With the earlier acceptance by Japan
the three leading naval powers of the
world now are on record as willing to
undertake completion of the work be
gun In Washington in 1921. That the
two other powers which signed the
five-power Washington treaty are OF
different mind is to be regretted, but
the cause of disarmament Is never
theless measurably advanced by the
Coolidge overture. Even II concrete
results are not Immediately forthcom-
ing there is achieved an advance to-
ward moral disarmament" which
necessarily must precede the physical
act of hammering swords into plow-
shares.
There now arises the possibility Of a
three-power naval conference in con-
nection with the work of the prepare
tory disarmament commission at
Geneva. Opinion differs as to the
chances of results from such confer
ence, and the tone of the British note
of acceptance does not warrant a
large measure of optimism. 1t sets
forth that 1.-The view of his ajesty's
government upon the special geo.
graphical position of the British En-
pire, the length of imperial communi-
cations and the necessity for the pro-
lection of it's food supplies are well
known" which is capable of being
construed as restatement Of the Brit
ish position that Great Britain cannot
limit cruisers so long as France is free
to build submarines without limit.
Great Britain might we'll be willing to
sgree to a further scrapping of CAPT.
tai ships, but that would be outside
Of the scope of the Coolidge proposal,
and 1t Is doubtful If American public
opinion would support elimination of
the battleship If nothing more resulted
than to throw the burden of competi-
tive building on to cruisers and other
lighter craft. Competition in lighter
craft could be just as great a burden
and just as provocative Of war as
competition in battleshipx.
Acceptance by Great Britain and
Japan of the American invitation
places the attitude of France and Italy
In unpleasant contrast. Had they con-
scented to participate in the conference
no harm could have come to them, for
they could not have been compelled to
conclude any agreement which they
believed contrary to their national in
terests. AS 1t now stands, they are in
the position of being unwilling. to try,
and this Is a position which does not
make a favorable impression on the
opinion of the world.
