Mr.. and Mrs. Phillips
Settle Down After House
Hunting Troubles

Former Representative and Mrs.
Thomas w. Phillips. jr.. are back
in Washington after having spent
the summer abroad and will pre-
sent their daughter, Miss Janet
Phillips, to society at a tea on
December IL. Mrs. Phillips left the
decision entirely to her daughter
and pretty Miss Phillips has made
up her mind that she would like to
come out this year with group OF
girls that includes many of her
friends.
Mr.. and Mrs. Phillips are in their
Sixteenth Street house and APP
parently have decided to stay in 1t.
They have rented the house next
door--the one that former Secre-
tary of State Charles Evans
Hughes had when he was on the
Supreme Court bench, and which
Senator. afterwards Secretary of
War, John w. Weeks bought when
Hughes failed of the Presidency
and retired to practice, in New York
for a while-to Representative and
Mrs. James S. Parker of New York.
They had to buy it when they
been renting from the Loren john.
sons for several seasons. The John
sons wanted to either hold both or
sell both as one parcel OF land. And
eventually the PhiIlipses bought
both, Presumably they rather re-
pented it last spring. for they were
again looking for a house. MIR.
Phillips was quite crazy to buy the
Wichfeld house on Massachusetts,
Avenue which the Canadian gov
eminent have since bought for
their legation. Mrs. Phillips was
mot crazy about" 1t and rather
dampened his ardor. So they have
quite rebuilt their present house.
and Mrs. Phillips is now quite
crazy about that" and with the
Weeks house rented to desirable
neighbors-Mrs. Parker is one OF
the very attractive women of the
Congressional set, is socially in
clined and popular with rhe rather
smart element of officialdom-they
seem quite content.
In their own house they have
built an addition which brings what
was a porch into the library, and
adds a little to the ball room, and
gives them an outlook on their
very attractive garden-which they
didn't have. Funny thing that the
Loren Johnsons should have laid
out such a lovely garden and not

and announced his candidacy for the
governorship. He didn't get it; l
don't think he expected to; but
that doesn't worry him. 1t leaves
him free for other things. They
stfll expect to spend their winters
in Washington, with frequent re-
turns to Butler, Pa, their home
town, where they have just COM
pleted a fine country home. They
like Washington and expect to be
here during the season each year.

The World and All
GOVERNMENTS
By Charles P. Driscon

Ny friends who return from abroad continue to
harrass me by @porting that Mussolini is doing great
work in Italy; that Primo de Rivera is a success ia
Spain, and that the bolsheviks are sticking to their
program in Russia.
These reports annoy me. You see, I predicted
failure Of the most abiect sort for all Of these gov
ernmental experiments. ! assumed a judicial air and
gave the proletariat six months in Russia. They took
it-and ten years besides! They're still doing bust
ness.
Mussolini would be shot or overthrow by a popu-
lar uprising inside Of six weeks, / predicted, when the
black shirts took Rome. Well. they've all been shoot
ing at him but they can't hit him SO that he feels it.
Ard as for a popular overthrow Mussolini seems to
be by long odds the most popular ruler Italy has had
in modern times.

King Of Spain and his military dictator, Rivera. 1
just naturally like to believe a good novelist who
seems to be on the side of the great masses.
But returning travellers tell me that Spain is COM

ing the sIumbering nationality Of the spaniards. More
work is being done. There is more pproduction and
less nonsense in Spain than ever before.
The only lesson / can draw from all this il that

l am forced TO the conclusion that maybe we
don't know what kind of government is best for other
peoples. / believe we'd better let them decide it, while
we go ahead and do the best we can with the kind of
government we prefer.
1 believe that the Engiish-speaking peoples have
worked out the best kinds of government for English
speaking peoples. American and British governments
are honest efforts at compromise between democracy
and oligarchy, both Of which are very good forms Of
government when well administered. / believe the
British for themselves and the Americans for them

In Time of Peace

with the converting Of congress Washington Is
filling with propagAndists, and among the most per-
sistent Of these are the so-called ~pacifists who are
AGAIN seeking a material reduction in army and navy
.ppropriations upon the plea that the nation is already
overbardened with taxes and that the appropriations
for national defense are unnecessary.
In time Of peace the ~pacifists are always with Us,
exerting every effort toward limiting the nations Of
fensive or defensive powers when an emergency may
arise. They carefully isan ell army and navy expendi-
tvre.. and arrogate TO themselves the privilege Of
eritieisinr the conclusions of trained army and navy
men relative TO the appropriations necessary for ma
tiounl defense. The only time they will admit that
concentrations are necessary Is when war Is declared,
and they then reverse themselves and criticize the
heads Of the war department because the department
has not maintained a highly efficient organizauch
without dcqaate funds.
Major General James II. MeRae, in commenting
rpon the attitude OF the ~paeifists, says that sour army
hss never been instrumental in getting US into war
while those who oppose preparedness have been in
strumentnl in getting Us into several Of them What
Cur army does Is to get US out OF wars that otner peo-
PIE get us into.
"But their getting us into war is only part Of H.
They insist upon getting us into IL unprepa-ed. In
every one Of our conflicts they have done this. Even
whsn the coming Asorm is apparent TO every thought
full person, they still maintain that any effort to pre-
pare fOr it win surely bring it on. and that the only
way 20 avoid it is to sit with our windows open until
the rain drives in"
There are no convincing ~pacifists because their
conclusions are not arrived at through reasoning
They spring from s~entimentality and are unwilling 70
fare the realities Of life. But such people are never
discouraged or dissHlusioned. This was demonstrated
~ the fact that within q few months after the World
War thousands Of p~aeifists bobbed up with new forniu-
las, CT rather old ones under q new name.
Ontlnwing war 10 the latest panacea advanced ard
this il merely a variation Of the idea OF an internR-
tienal leagas TO enforce peace. IL the nations agree
90 oatlnw war they will then be confronted with the
nrobIem Of enforcing their own DEGREES. and this could
only bs dcne by military force. Pacifists would be
the first TO oppose such measures. They are always
opposed TO the government disehsrging its response
bllities, IL force il required. II il were possible TO
abolish war By merely outlawing il, civil wars would
have been abolished centuries ago. Instructions, re-
bslfions and revolutions are outlawed by the laws Of
every nation and every country maintains an army
fer the particular purpose Of suPpressinT them. II
