1.-The Anglo Russian Joint Ad-
visory Council unanimously reaffirms
the sincere desire and readiness of the
Trade Union Movements of both coun-
tries to do everything in their power
to create by their joint effort the
unity of the international Trade Union
Movement.
2.--The A. r. J. A. G. further de-
cIares that the essential condition for
success in the struggle for the inter
national unity Of labor against capital
is firm fraternal union between the
Trade Union Movements Of Great Bri-
tain and tho USSR. It testifies its
readiness to develop Systematically
and strengthen the existing friendly
relations between those movements.
3.-This development should be in
the direction Of more active mutual
aid and support, based on the uncon-
ditiona recognition Of the principle
that the sole representative and medi-
UNI Of expression of the Trade Union
Movement Of Great Britain is the
British Trades Union Congress and
it's General Council, while in the
USSR the corresponding bodies are
the Trade Union Congress and the
All Russian Central Council Of Trade
Unions.
4.--The A. r. J. a. c. considers as
valuable and necessary the mutual CO.
ordination Of activity in the sphere
of international policy as between the
General Council and the All-Russian
Central Council Of Trade Unions, to-
gether with an exchange Of materials
and experience in respect Of interna-
tional work
At the same time it considers that
the fraternal alliance between the
Trade Union Movements Of both coun-
tries, embodied in the A. r. j. A. c.,
cannot and must not in any degree
whatsoever impair the internal au.
thority Of the British Trades Union
Congress General Council or the All.

Beethoven and "Jazz."

Music masters" Of Mexico City
have appealed for the abstention
from ''jazz" during the week of
March 26 as a tribute to the memory
of Beethoven upon the one hundredth
anniversary Of the death of the
composer.
"If Mexico can suppress Jazz even
for a week in the name of Beetho-
ven," the masters" declare, accord :
ing to an Associated Press dispatch,
"it will show that this country is
more advanced and cultured in music
than any other in the world"
But will it? In almost any of that
true music masters immortal scores
may be found at least one theme that
somehow shows Beethoven's kinship
with sprightliness.
After all, what is "jazz" except an
attempt. although often enough mis-
guided, to be sprightly? Music. no
more than writing. need be dull. AS
in the latter. however, something
more than the use of "peppy" words
is needed, so in music nothing can
take the place Of genuine invention

One Of Secretary Kellogg's claims
to fame Is a marvellous memory. Some
of his friends say it was an asset
in the building up of a great legal
practice in the Northwest that more
than compensated for the fact that
Kellogg never went to college or ever
took a law degree. A case in Mime

Secretary of States biggest fee at the
bar concerned litigation in connection

Beethoven uses themes which tanta-

crease in salary and that the courts
should be forced to get along without
the enlarged facilities--just because a
few politicians in the Senate got into
| a party wrangle, which under the
archaic rules prevented orderly pro-
cedure and blocked the carrying out
of the best Judgment of the majority,
which is the fundamental principle
of our Government.
There has been considerable talk of
an extra session. when there seemed
to be no good reason for an extra ses.
sion. But If an extra session is at all
justifiable it is because adequate ap-
preparations. which there was every
intention in Congress of making, have
not been made, and thereby full JUS
tice cannot be administered to in
dividual citizens.
The administration of Justice
through the courts, with appeals car
ried to the Supreme Court of the
United States, is one of the three
great functions of our Government.
When justice fails the confidence of
the people in their Government Is
weakened. Above all our institutions,
the courts must continue to function
uninterrupted and with fullest safe.

the people to trial by jury" of their

The gravest sin OF omission that
Congress could commit is to fail---for

the operation of our system of ad-

| 1.-The uninitiated learns that a thou
sand-dollar bill is called 'one grand,
the word being significant. Bank
cashiers and tellers unable to resist
temptation prefer to take their loot
| in grand as by seizing such bills
they may carry away a tremendous
! sum without using a sachel.
IF there is any honor among
| thieves you will never read about 1t
in the detective stories. A favorite
| modern form is the story of the crook
who 'double-crosses' his pal
'"The writer of this form of story
pits his wit against that of the
| reader. even as the detective in the
tale does against the criminal.
''The writer is handicapped by the
very fact Of his medium, in that any
character he introduces must be for
purpose, and the astute reader soon
comes to be amazingly clever at pick
ing the perpetrator of the foul deed.
Woman readers. especially, have
an uncanny knack of picking out
significant statements in the story,
meant to be lightly passed over by
the reader--at least. so the author
hopes-but really of vast significance,
as will be seen later.
''To give away his story thus is
the last thing the author desires. but
he often does so, especially when the
reader is a woman. Woman readers
jump to conclusions, just as a good
police officer does.
Such a reader gets a hunch that
the butler really killed the queer and
wealthy old Mr.. Van Deming as he
sat at his desk in the grand library.
What difference does il make that
the door was locked and the windows
We're barred, and the chimney sealed?
That old sneaking butler did 1t, I'll
bet anything And. sure enough, the
author agrees with her in the end.

1.-The futility of the criminal life,
it's sordid qualities, are brought out
in nearly all of these stories of the
best class. The way for reader to
know a really good story is whether
it carries you along. If the reader
has to force his interest the story is
not a well told one and ought to be
dropped like a hot cake.
1.-The chief interest of these stories,
as I see it, lies in their humanity.
Whether we like it or not. the GRIM
inal is a phase of our common hu-
manity. The fact that he is abnormal
only makes hin1-especially for the
purposes of fctiont-the more inter
esting.
"At times society for it's own pro-
lection must exterminate the crook
as it would any other vermin which
threatens the safety of the whole.
This is justice to those who play the
game Of life according to- the rules.
At the same time, If there is anything
to the belief Of some that hospitaliza-
tion, rather than confinement at labor,
Is what the criminal needs, the theory
ought to be tried out and proved or
disproved at once.
perhaps the longest thought one
gets from reading detective stories is
saddening one, that so much energy,
so much undoubted daring. so much
genuine ability, are put to such
devious uses. rather than being en-
ployed on honest pursuits, in COM
pliance with the civilized rules of the
game of life"

Uniustiied Alarm.

| Senator Norris of Nebraska sees ar
| Invitation to revolution" in Mexico
in the abrogation by the United States
of the treaty between this country
and Mexico to prevent smuggling lie
| predicts shipments of arms from the
| United States to enemies of the Gales
government in Mexico. The chairman
of the foreign relations committee
Senator Borah, is of the opinion the
termination of the treaty will be con-
sidered an unfriendly act by the Mex
leans.
Possibly both Senators are wrong.
There is not the slightest real reason
at bottom that there should be serious
trouble between the United States and
Mexico, provided Mexico will give
Americans and American interests in
Mexico a square deal. The United
States does not want war with Mex
leo, and it is to be presumed that the
Mexican people are not anxious for
war with the United States. The In
sistence of the American Government,
however. that it's citizens shall have
fair treatment in the Southern repub'
lie and that their lives shall be amply
protected is not lightly to be waved
aside. either by the Mexican govern
ment or by the critics of the admin
istration in the United States. though
they be members of the Senate.
The critics of the administration
here consider the abrogation of the
smuggling treaty an attack upon the
stability of the present Mexican gov
ernment. Some of the critics have
attacked the administration because it
has used armed forces to protect
American lives and property in Mica
ragua and because such protection
tends to stabilize the Diaz government
in the Central American republic. The
overthrow Of the Diaz government, by
the way, has been attempted with
Mexican aid, President Coolidge has
informed Congress in a special mes
sage on the subject. The critics
of the administration seemingly are
aroused because the United States is
preventing gun-running expeditions
from Mexico into Nicaragua. At the
same time they are protesting because
the Government may not prevent gun
running from the United States to
Mexican revolutionists.
The American Government has not
lifted the embargo on the shipment of
arms from the United States into Mex
leo, although it has terminated the
smuggling treaty. That embargo was
set up to help Obregon, the predeces-
sor Of Gales, establish the Mexican
government firmly. 1t was effective
and probably will continue effective
against the smuggling of arms from
this country into Mexico, smuggling
treaty or no treaty. So Senator Nor
ris' fears are likely to be groundless.
II the embargo is ever lifted, an
other situation may arise. Gales gov
ernment officials have expressed fear
of revolution In Mexico in that event.
There has been no indication that the
American Government will take that
step. Nor need that step ever be
taken by this Government.
