and moderating the methods of war
fare" is followed by the statement that
doubt of the effectiveness of meas
ures does not come from lack of SYM
pathy, and criticism Is directed, not at
their object, but at their possible re-
suits. This weakness, we think" con-
cludes the Tribune, sis basic and
arises from the general fact noted by
Mr.. Hughes-that without the domi-
mating spirit of peace there will be re-
sort to war, and it is not easy for war
tv brook restraints"
Among the papers on which the
speech didn't make such a favorable
impression is the Newark Evening
News independently, which says: Let
Mr.. Hughes fling himself into big.
broad campaign for American cooper
alton with the other powers for genu-
inc disarmament and peace, and he
will find there is more compelling SEN
timent than he can muster for his
method of frittering at the edges of
the disarmament question"
The Raleigh News and Observer
Democratic), of which Josephus Dan
iels, former Secretary of the Navy, is
publisher, holds that mo man is so
much responsible for the failure to re-
duce armament as Mr.. Hughes. He
made significant gesture" that paper
adds 'by his 5-5-3 Svengali speech
at the Washington conference which
made farce of the whole business by
creating a ratio, not yet reached, for
dreadnoughts, leaving unrestrained
competitive building for the more
modern and useful ships of war. 1t
was hailed as a great achievement and
has turned out to be a dub"
America Is not to blame" asserts
the New York Herald-Tribune (Repub-
lican). "for any hesitation anywhere to
limit military forces. Nor is it un-
aware that limitation must be a slow
process, responding to gradual world
stabilization and intelligent assimila-
ton of the lessons of the Great War"

A Telephone Proxy.

A telephone innovation has beer
adopted in London which might wei
be considered for establishment in this
country. Arrangements have beer
made whereby a subscriber, upor
leaving his house or Office, with no one
available to answer the phone in case
of call, may have messages trans
mitted to phone callers or taken from
them. For this service a fee is to be
charged according to the length OF
time the watch is to be kept-twelve
cents for a period of less than four
hours and twenty-five cents above
that time. A person making this ar
rangement with the phone company
may before leaving his house or office
call central and dictate any message
he wishes to be given in case a certain
person calls. This insures the "con-
tact" for incoming calls are intercept
ed from the temporarily unattended
phone and the messages are ex'
changed by proxy.
An apparatus has been devised, and
has been for some time in process of
development and adoption in this
country, whereby all phone messages
can be taken" on q wire attached to
the instrument, and on the return of
the subscriber repeated by passing
the wire across a certain receptive
area, This insures the receipt Of in
coming messages. 1t does not, how.
ever, transmit outgoing messages, as
the new London system insures. The
London mode establishes central In
a secretarial capacity for fee which
Is certainly reasonable.
Perhaps the day will come when by
means Of radio all telephone sub.
scribers will be in touch with central
and subject to call wherever they may
be. In view of the recent develop.
ments Of the art, 1t Is not too much to
expect such marvel. But 1t Is hardly
to be believed that many people would
care to go about with the apparatus
necessary for reception: but after all.
even though time has become so
precious as to effect an amazing
economy of minutes and seconds In
transmission Of information, 1t may be
questioned whether 1t Is worth while
to be assured of such continuous con-
tact.

Mistaken Punishment.

The Sentencing" Of persons to good
things goes on apace. The latest in.
stance is that of a 13-year-old boy at
Wheeling, who stole 400 pennies from
a church contribution box, and has
been sentenced to attend Sunday
school. make good marks in school
and to write to the judge every Christ
mas and July 4.
The idea Of the justice, that such
boy needed Sunday school, is not
a bad one, theoretically, but actually
it will not work out. The average
man, remembering his own youth,
may say so much with confidence.
Offhand, it will appeal to him as q
mistaken form of punishment.
Things that are good in themselves
ought not to be used as forms Of pun
ishment. A human being is a human
being, whether he is 13 years old or
96, and punishments are held by all
men as punishments, nothing more or
less. Feelings Of resentment will
arise.
1t is questionable, therefore, whether
boy should be forcibly injected into
Sunday school class. VIII he not
sit there and twiddle his toes at the
teacher? The average man-still re.
calling the days of his own youth
rather thinks he will!
Such a punishment will solidify his
evident feeling against ecclesiastical
institutions, and mayhap end in turn.
ing him against religion for all time
No judge has a right to so tamper
with human feelings.

Industries for Washington.

Discussion OF the proposal to en-
courage the establishment in Wash
ington of light industries, to aid in
the building up of a balanced COM
munity, has evoked opposition on the
ground that 1t Is not desirable to make
Of the Capital manufacturing CITY,"
It is urged by some that there is no
need here of industries and that their
presence would tend to befoul the at
mosphere and lower the character of
the city This is n mistaken view of
the matter. In the first place, it is
not proposed TO seek for Washington
great manufacturing plants which
would employ large numbers each of
working men and would cause the
emission of dense smoke and give rise
to undesirable social conditions. 1t is.
on the contrary, proposed and hoped
to secure and to develop here smaller
industries, producing useful commodi-
ties, each giving employment to a
few score of people. and in the aggre'
gate serving effectively to afford re-
munerative occupation to Washing
tonians who cannot find employment
In other lines.
In these days of almost universal
use of electric power there is no occa-
sion to shrink from the prospect of
the establishment of light manufac-
turing plants in Washington on the
score of the smoke nuisance. 1t is
assured that practically all of the
manufacturing plants Of the charac-
ter contemplated in the program OF
development advocated by the civic
organizations and others can be main
tanned without those symbols of in
Sustrial progress but blemishes on the
landscape, smokestacks. There is
nothing disfguring in such establish
ments. Nor is there any menace to
the social standards Of the community
In the character of the personnel to
Be required by factories Of this kind.
1t is significant that leaders In the
present vigorous campaign for the
proper development of Washington,
with especial consideration for its
physical attractiveness, have advo'
Gated the establishment here of just
such industries. They have sought to
ascertain the best location for estab-
lishments of this kind. and to find
definition of their character that will
Effectively and safely guide in the
hrawing of such limitations as protec-
Mon of Washington as the City
RautifuI requires. There Is no con-
iiict between the views of those who
would have Washington preserved as
primarily a residential city and those
who would have it developed indus
krially to the extent of furnishing op.
eortunities in the local field for the
employment Of its people. who are
barred from Government classified
service by reason Of their residence
ut the Capital.
Congress has imposed restrictions
hpon the industrial development of
Washington. It is, however. still pos
bible to promote that development,
along the lines of late suggestions,
and there is ground for hope that de.
spite objections raised without full
appreciation of the exact proposals
this movement win advance and that
Washington will grow in respect to
its occupational opportunities as it
has in numbers of people and as 1t is
growing In point Of Government equip
ment.

Moscow Denies.

From Moscow comes denunclation
of the documents said to have been
seized by northern Chinese authorities
at Peking in a raid few weeks ago
on the Russian embassy. The secre-
tariat of the executive Communist In
ternationale declares that these papers
are gross forgeries, intended to excite
public opinion against Soviet Russia.
The documents seized, as set forth
from time to time by the northern
Chinese authorities, purport to show
an extensive intrigue by the Russians
Ia behalf of the Cantonese govern
ment, the expenditure of large sums
OF money and the spreading of prop
uganda. Quite recently foreign cor
respondents in Peking were shown
numerous writings declared to be those
seized in the Peking raid, giving in
structions for the hiring of spies TO
keep track of various foreign lega'
tions, Including that of the United
States. and calling for the bolshevising
OF China.
The denial from Moscow will not
persuade anybody. There is posi-
tive evidence of the Russian purpose
to effect the spread of the Soviet in
ffuence in southern China. The Can
4onese army was drilled under the di
rection of Michael Borodin, Russian
closely identified with the Moscow
regime, though not officially a member
Of it. Communication between Moscow
kSpd Canton was constant. The shib
