The Peace Move

Fourteen Of the fifteen nations to which the Kel-
logg peace pact was submitted have registered their
approval az the movement inaugurated b. the Ameri-
can secretary. With only one country having thus far
failed 10 make an official pronouncement, European
and American diplomats are expressing confidence in
the ultimate success Of the plan. Acceptance by the
fifteenth will be followed by selection of a place and
date for the Inauguration Of a series Of conferences IN
which it is expected that various details in connec-
tion with the pact will be worked out. Following &C.
c~eptance, all nations az the world will be requested to
join IN outlawing war.
The success attending Secretary KelIorr's nego-
tiations to secure universal acquiescence 70 the Amer
lean peace plan has been one Of the outstanding
achievements Of the Coolidge administration. Secre-
tary Kellogg is still far from the goal. but he has sur
mounted the most difficult obstacles, and comparative
~ smooth sailing may be expected until the goal is
reached.
One Of the most significant facts in connection with
the negotiations has been the almost universal recogni-
tion q the fact that the motives actuating the Ameri-
can government can IN no way re classified as selfish.
The United States has no more to gain than any other
nation. Secretary Kellogg and American diplomats
have impressed upon European powers that this coun-
try Is merely rendering its good offices to bring about
a condition which would make world peace possible.
Many controversies will arise in connection with
consideration Of the details Of the plan, but these are
not expected to be Of a nature that might jeopardize Il.
Racial p~rejudices and national antipathies have already
been largely overcome in the original negotitions. ana
will not enter into the conferences "a the same degree
rs in former conferences designed for TIM same
purpose.
Secretary Kellogg has expressed particular gratifi-
cation that none Of the powers found it necessary 70
propose amendments TO the text Of the treaty in anv
way or the attaching 70 the pact Of any supplementary
interpretative document. He has been DESTROYS from
the first that the peace treaty should be as simple
and direct III language rs possible and that IL should
not be encountered Of any doubt cast uron its major
purpose by supplementary protocols ~ explanatory
notes.
The treaty will be thrown open to adherence by all
countries after 1t has been signed by the original group
OF powers and becomes effective, which will be auto
matte when the instruments Of ratification required
under the constitutional provisions Of each govern
ment shall have been deposited with the government
which will ne the custodian Of these documents.

Within three years the waters of the Great Lakes
will mingle with the waters Of the Gulf Of Mexico,
according to the reports Of engineers who state that
20 per cent Of the state work needed to connect Chica-
20 and New Orleans by water is completed or under
contract. Before the end OF the year all contracts to
complete the link will have been awarded, the Illinois
state division of waterways announced.
The Mississippi river and the Great Lakes will be
linked across the state of Illinois via the Illinois river,
a tributary of the Mississippi. For $50 miles up from
the Mississippi TO Utica the Illinois is already nav
igable and requires only dredging in the shallow places.
At the other end Of the waterway nothing remains 70
be done. From Joliet to Chicago the sanitary canal
affords an admirable channel capable Of handling a.
immense tonnage.
Investigations conducted by the Illinois waterways
commission indicate that the linking Of the Great
Lakes with the Gulf will result in shipping an i'm
mense tonnage via the Mississippi to the Gulf. The
principal Gulf ports are now handling the major part
Of the agricultural exports, and with the completion
Of the waterway system the volume will be greatly
augmented. II will also provide for transportation and
distribution throughout Gulf coast territory OF prac.
ueally all iron and steel supplies, manufactures NJ
every description, and will provide for southern prod
ucts a wide market at low rates for transportation.
Illinois will expend between $4,000 and $4,000
600 on the waterway project, and the federal govern
ment has already appropriated ~S3,50O.00O with the as
surance that additional funds will be available in the
event they are needed. The project was inaugurated
over twenty years ago, and the bonds with which the
state is now financing the work were voted in 1908.
During all those years the project has been held IN

Of engineers and the economic conditions prevailing
in the territory the waterway was designed to serve.

ricultural territory for which Chicago is the distrib-
utng center.

The Primary Vote

Political leaders are predicting that the Valley
counties will cast a record vote in the democratic pri-
maries July 2S. asserting that interest in the sena-
torisl, congressional and county races is keen. and the
voters will turn out en- masse to support their favorite
candidates.
Such predictions are almost invariably made PRIOR
70 the primaries, but seldom materialize. Hundreds
Of voters who apparently are greatly interested in the
political situation often find IL inconyenient to 70 70
the polls On election day and leave to friends or neigh
bors the duty Of saving the country" Collectively.
the number reaches a staggering figure, far greater
than is conducive to good government.
One factor that may reduce the vote at the coming
primary is the split in the democratic ranks on the
national ticket. Many former democrats are ANNOUNCE
ing they will not support Governor Smith. insisting
they are still democrats. Whether any great number
Of the a"nti-Smith voters will participate in the primary
is conjectural. Some take the view they cannot par
ticipate under the party pledge; others assert the
pledge applies only TO the candidates nominated in the
primary, which includes the state, district, county and
precinct candidates.
Democratic leaders throughout the state have as
sumed a hands off" attitude in regard to the anti
Smith element entering the primaries. Let your con-
science be your guide" was the advice Of a prominent
state leader when questioned as to the ethics or anti
Smith voters participating, and there are thousands Of
Texas voters who will follow that advice.
Throughout the Valley counties where the SSmith
and a~nti-Smith warfare has not entered the bitter
stage so apparent in Eastern and Central Texas. prac-
tically no attention is being paid to this phase of the
political situation. and il is doubtful if any voter will
be challenged because Of announcements relative to
the national campaign.
Inasmuch as nomination on the democratic ticket is
virtually equivalent to election IN most Of the Texas
counties. il il to the interest of every believer in good
government to cooperate IN bringing out a vote at the
primaries that is fully representative. No candidate
should have the right to assert that he was defeated
