In Nicaragua we are cooperating
with an ex-bookkeeper whom we

and have been trying unsuccessfully

In China we are cooperating with
the tag ends Of a discredited order,
with bandits who trampled to pow

the demo-alized remnants Of a
snlashed empire.
In Mexico we are cooperating with
bunch of oil operators who do not
want to swap permanent title for a
fifty-year concession, though they
well know that they can suck every
drop of oil out Of the short.lived

Meanwhile, we are standing in the

al faction in Nicaragua, though it
represents the vast majority; and of
the Cantonese in China, though they

West for Peace

The Chicago Tribune once called
the West yellow" That was slender,
of course, but it contained just
enough truth to trick the fancy Of
a sophist.
The West has never suffered from
a lingo complex. 1t was glad to fol-
low Wilson so long as he promised
new order, and with Coolidge so
long as he promised not to rock the
boat.
The West believes there is a way
of maintaining peace, even on an
international basis, without a war
scare every week or so.
1t believes that peace, whether for
village or the world. depends on
a reasonable assurance of justice
and that the first principle of JUS.
tice is to claim no privilege that you
are not willing to concede the other
fellow.
The idea prevails in the West that
If we are entitled to complete ma
tional sovereignty, so is Mexico, and
that when we fathered the Monroe
dostrine to prevent Europe from
browbeatlng Latin American nations
we virtually promised that we would
not browbeat them ourselves.

THE PRESIDENTS GENEVA
GESTURE

In bidding England and Japan 10 meet the
United States in Geneva this summer to discuss
further limitation Of naval tonnage, President Cool
idge has our sincerest best wishes.
We very much fear, however that little good
can be accomplished at this time beyond such moral
effect as the proposed conference might possibly
have in France and Italy.
These two countries, understand, will take
active part the parley, barring the unexpected
Both are parties to the treaty of Washington
Under that treaty the five signatory powers agree
to limit capital ships to $4,000 tons for America
$4,000 tons for Britain 100000 tons for Japan,
$4,000 tons for France and 175,0O0 tons for Italy
And similar ratio agreed upon governing air.
craft carrier tonnage.
But neither France Italy would go any
farther. They refused to sanction any such ratio
for cruisers submarines other auxiliary craft
nothing has happened since the Washington confer
ence of 1922 to either to change its mind.
Dictator Mussolin visions a Roman empire,
powerful and far flung. He dreams of expansion in
north Africa and the Near East. Furthermore he
hasn't the slightest intention of helping make the
Mediterranean into British lake. which is what it
would become with Italian tonnage permanently
ratioed at 175 to Britans with Gibraltar controll
ing one end, Suez the other and Malta the middle.
simultaneously France will not put herself
tirely at the mercy of Great Britain, however good
friends they may happen to be at the moment This
she feels she would do she to grant Britain
crushing superiority in the only type of craft she
is able to build.
England quite naturally, is desperately afraid of
submarines. They brought her to her very knees
in the World War. Thanks to them she stared
starvation and defeat in the face for years.
Gladly, therefore, she would scrap every one or
vastly limit the tonnage of these terrors.
Frances interests lie in exactly the opposite
direction. With territorial possessions
the Mediterranean, and with much of her fu
tufo power there, she must keep her lines of
communication open. Her only chance is to do it
with light surface vessels submarines and aircraft
Not much chance for limitation of ornaments
there. Nor will it do any good to scold.
France is only looking after her own particular
safety irst-a popularity most nations share with
her. and likely to continue in vogue until world
peace becomes something than the mere
dream it is today.
The European situation, being what it is, it is
not to be expected that England will agree to tie
her hands, leaving those of France and Italy free
Which makes the United States and Japan the only
two of the big fve-sea powers able to do than
engage in purely academic discussion at Geneva.
Japan is the country that would profit most by
arms limitation. Her future and her fortune are tied

Coolidge to Break Vaca-
ton Precedent-What
of Third Term2
BY M. r. Tracy

President Coolidge will spend his
summer vacation in the West. 1t is
hard to think of any reason why he
shouldn't. Still, none of his pred
ecessors ever did such a thing, and
that is quite enough to start specula-
ton.
Whatever else may be said of the
venture, it certainly proves that
Coolidge has the courage to break
a precedent. VIII he break another
by running for third term?
1t requires no stretch of magma
ton to believe that a visit to the
West might have some bearing on a
third term proposition. for if the
President has any intention Of run
ming again, the West is one place
where he needs to repair fences.

Let us consider two cases which
will clearly illustrate.
(a) South one Heart, West double,
North two Hearts, East pass, South

double by West would be informa-
tory because East has not yet bid or
doubled, and would say to East:

Less Popular

The Administration is nowhere
nearly as popular as it was once be-
yond the Mississippi. This is not
wholly due to the Presidents veto
to the McNary-Haugen bill, or the
failure of Congress to provide for
the building of Bowlder Dam.
Much of these two incidents may
have disturbed some sections, the
foreign policy has caused even more
damage.
The West has small use for the
Administrations course in Mic

MULTIPLICATION"

United States Senator Cole L. Blease has
hurried home from Washington to advise the South
Carolina Legislature that action in the matter OF the
States primary law is necessary, in view OF the
United States Supreme Courts decision concerning
the Texas primary law. The sort of action he has
in mind he didn't state but it is easy to guess what
it is. He would have new primary law that will
prevent Negroes fro mvotng, while avoiding con-
fict with the decision of the Supreme Court
Blease voted against any extension OF the Reed
committees investigation in the freely expressed
fear that examination of election conditions in the
South might result That he said, might threaten

In Virginia there is talk of rewriting the State

Political leaders in other Southern States are
examining their defenses against illefects from the
Supreme Court decision
1t is a problem that pretty we'll be left
to the South to solve From it's very nature, indeed
it must be. Any solution from outside the South
can only be made effective by the use of force and
the rest of the country is not prepared to consider
such solution.
But out of the situation that has been created,
it may be hoped that little enlightenment will
filter into the minds of certain southern and other
statesmen-the statesmen of the AntiSaloon
League, for example. Among these there mas peen

Policy Opposed

So far as I am able to observe,
the foreign policy is becoming more
and more unpopular, not only in the
West, but throughout the country.
There is a feeling that it does not
square with what the American peo-
pie have been taught to respect;
that it is verging on Imperialism
and is committing tho United States
to standards that are at variance
with her past.
