ONE WOMAN
 DELEGATE IS
 BEING HEARD
Declares Her Sex Not Civ en Consideration at
 Conventions

KANSAS CITY, June 13.- Women delegates should be given more responsibility in the opinion of one of Washington's two fe- male members of the delegation from that State. declaring that while women of the nation cast nearly one-half of the votes, only about 70 of them are sitting as delegates.
 This is the statement made to the Associated Press by Mrs Hugh Eldridge. of Bellingham, Wash, sitting as one of the dele gates.
 Mrs. Eldridge said she did not Hike the idea of sop being thrown to get our votes" She said her sex had been given in- creasing consideration but cited the fact that few women were in- cluded on the working conven- tion committees as evidence they were not given an opportunity to bear their full share of the party's responsibility.
 How will the women ever get any experience if they are never put on committees? do not mean necessarily as chairman but at that some women are better qualified than many men, ' concluded Mrs. Eldridge.

recently the administration told newspapers they should not be overly critical about the foreign policy of the government. AS if that were nobody's business.
 Senator Borah merely wants an inquiry to determine how far tho ad- ministration-and the other admin istrations since the dawn of the century-have departed from the first principles that are still part of the Constitution. The Idaho senator thinks the Senate has something to say about war. in Nicaragua or any where else. The administration papers naturally are mortified at the impertinence of the chairman of the foreign relations committee. So far the foreign relations committee has had practically nothing to say about the Nicaraguan business. Naturally the chairman wonders why.
 If the administration can prove it is acting properly there should be no objection to a senatorial inquiry. Let there be an inquiry.

TROUBLE IN HAVANA

It may take flying visit by Colonel Lindbergh to settle the dis pute which has arisen at the Havana conference over the intervention is- sue in Latin-American affairs. When the conference started it was hoped nobody would be unkind enough to inject an acrid discussion about in- tervention; but such an idealietic hope naturally failed to fructtify.
 The United States has policy about such matters which no Latin- American conference will set aside. Our policy is that we are free to in- tervene whenever it seems neces- sary: and we are the judges of the time and the place. Argentine, how ever, thinks We had best attend to our own business a little oftener; which means she is contending for the principle of non-intervention.
 Nothing will come of the dis cussion; after the conference is over things will stand about where they were before it started. This may be callous way of weighing a vital matter, but rhetoric usually doesn't take the place of practice. A power- ful state intervenes when it thinks it ought to do so-that is to say. when its state department thinks so, regardless of what it's people think and also when the nation suffering the intervention is too weak to offer resistance. A powerful state does not intervene in the affairs of another powerful state. The very elements, perhaps, which make a state DOW erful preclude the necessity Of in tervention. The little fellows. in leading strings. are the ones which suffer intervention when they can not control their affairs. when they cannot protect foreigners, when they cannot pay their debts.
 And Latin America is largely con- posed Of this class of states. The more powerful states in that part of the world--Argentine, Brazil, Chilli Peru--are not suffering from the perils of intervention.

AN IMPORTANT TREATY

On the 150th anniversary of the signing of the French treaty of ali. ance with the United States a new treaty negotiated between M. Briand and Secretary of State Kel- logg was signed. There was consider able preliminary discussion over the meaning of Aggressive" warfare, but in the end the treaty was ready on the date of the anniversary.
 The meaning of the treaty is that France and the United States remain in amity: if there is a disagreement 1t will be settled around a table. Neither NJ. Briand's ideas. nor those of Mir. Kellogg. are completely en- bodied in the present treaty, so that that treaty is not step in the di- rection of the outlawry of "all' war. France sticks to her obligations un- der the League covenant: MT. Kel- logg, said to have contemplated fir- in ga shot at the League through the treaty, did not succeed If this in fact was one of his objects. At any rate. a treaty replacing the Root Jussehand treaty. which expires Feb ruary 27. has been signed and now is to be ratified by the parliamentary mills in the two nations.
 It is worth weighing what the new treaty specifics. Tersely, the two governments bind themselves to ar bitrate any dispute not arising out of domestic questions. or those not affecting the interests of third na- ton. and not involving the Monroe doctrine. This change from the Root treaty, which reserved the vital interests and national honor of each country, is condemned by some and lauded by others. Officials in Washington and Paris, however, believe the new treaty strengthens the peace-preserving machinery be- tween the two governmnts. There is no reason to think otherwise. There is no likelihood of war with France; not even over the war debts.
 Treaties are notoriously hard to interpret. Here is the preamble in the new treaty, for instance. which contains a declaration against war as 8 matter of national policy. AL ready observers are saying that the preamble, possessing idealistic utter ances, is not part of the treaty.
 Anyway 1t doesn't matter. Nobody has been agitating anything but the most friendly relations with France.
