Accord.
(New York Times. )

CNew York Times
 lnasmuch as the Kellogg -Briand negotiations TOT the remuneration of war seem to be on the verge or successful conclusion, it is perhaps not too premature to recall the principal steps py Whlch meeting of minds has been attained
 MT Kellogg, taking his cue from MT. Briand,s oner of renunciation treaty between France and the united States, proposed that the treaty in- clude all the nations
 M Brand replied that it was all right with him. provided France was allowed to wage war in self-defense
 MT. Kellogg replied that this was propossl 1 "hich could not be entertained for minute
 MT Briand replied that he was willing to apahdon the right to wage war in self-defense provided he permitted to wage defensive warfare ~
 MT Kellogg intimated that this was good oedi better but not yet good enough Every nation, or course, has the right to fight when uhJustly attacked but with the cost of white paper and ink what it is, what was the use of putting it into the treaty?
 AL this point Great Britain interyened in the ioie oi mediator between the Briand and Kellogg points or view. Great Britain suggested that the right to wage defensive warfare should moi De put into the treaty but should be set down on two separate sheets of paper to be mailed py special delivery from Paris to Washingto and from Washington to Paris
 Thls is the present state of negotiations mere may still come up the point whether the letters should go by special delivery or through the regular mails with ordinary two-cent stamp; put 1t seems certain that after month or two this difficulty, too, will be disposed of
 The main thing to keep in mind is the enor- nous distance that has been traversed from the Brand proposal that defensive warfare he ner mitted 10 the present agreement that war in seif-defense is always permissible.

CHRONIC FOR ACTION.

The swiftness with which the Administration forces moved to the support of Secretary Hoov CTS candidacy the opening day of the Re- publican National Convention at Kansas City is probably due 10 the desire of the parys responsible leaders to avert any situation which might tend to divide its forces at the outset of what is pretty generally realized will be strenuous campaign It may be that of the oppon- ents to Hoover will cry "steamroller tactics, but this charge can hardly be substantiated To the very last minute the Administration withheld it's hand, giving the Hoover opposition every oppor- tunity to develop strength. This it wholly failed to do.
 For weeks the field has united against the Secretary of Commerce. Fayorite son has allied with those whose candidacy bona fde. All of the combined strength at their command has been utilized but it fell far short of being suffi cient to block the Secretary of Commerce To have let the situation develop farther would have been to invite the opening up of rfts with in the party that could not have helped but mitigate against the waging of a successful cam paign The Administration leaders acted the part of wisdom in promptly coming to the sup port of Hoover before this happened. The Sec retary is easily the most popular of any of the candidates in the field for the Republican nom ination The rank and file of the party in a large majority demanded his nomination. It seems now assured it will take place on the first ballot and it is not without the range of the possible that it will be by exclamation before the roll call result be announced
 In nominating him, the Republican Party is sgnifying in no uncertain terms it's realization of the necessity to strip for hard fight in the Fall election It's leaders taking it for granted that the Democatie convention will nominate Gov.

MENCKEN AND COMPANY LAUGHING
 IN THEIR SLEEVES.

The most effective allies of Mencken, Nathan Eaton, Lewis Lewisohn, Harris and scores of others in their intolerance, dogmatsm smugness boobery, hokum Babbitry etc. come from the militant ministers who have sought to obtain political control of the Nation Dr. Clarence True Wilson and other believing pulls" of the churches, and calf-szed imitators throughout the country have succeeded in too many instances in buldozng communicants and congregations into making churches annex of corrupt political organization-the Anti Saloon League They have stirred smaller calibre preachers, mostly of the South but largely present at the Kansas City General Conference, into ac- tion in defense of their leadership of thought in sections where thinking is not deep. They have set out to run the United States the big bosses-the believing bulls'-want it to be run and to make themselves little bosses in their little fields.
 As long the preachers remained out of poll itics and contented themselves with religious and educational work, average men and most of the thinking men were content to support the churches and go their way developing the coun- try and transactng it's business without paying much attention to the controversy between science and theology, between modernism and fundamen- talism. But when many fundamentalists and theoogians abandoned the field of the churches and entered politics, assuming to dictate party plat forms and nominations. to direct legislation and appointments to office and to insist that the one proposition which should serve as standard of measurement of public service is Prohibition enforcement practical everyday affairs were in vaded, and we find all sorts and conditions of people interested.
 So great has been the reaction that many thinking people in the churches are wondering if the churches will continue as effective instru- ments of civilization. In some sections of the country there have been large secessions from church rolls and church incomes are diminish ing. Further secessions and further tightening of purse strings threatened. There are signs of crumpling under the pressure of furious bombardment

stones of civilization they get out of politics and resume their work for spiritual development and moral improvement through teaching the re- igion of Christ and educating individuals to care for themselves. They must do more Christ did when on earth, and lead the people to a point where they will not need force laws en- forced by pistol and club by thugs and political crooks They must let the Christians and not the politicians and believing bulls" in their folds do the leading. If they do not do so, if they do not soon become more spiritual and less beligerant, more civilized and less barbarc, they are destined to experience vast shrinkage in numbers finances and worldly importance. The believing bulls among them must and will be thrust into the discard with the other fakirs and four-fushes. For the good of the churches they should do the discarding themselves, and thus prevent the rubbish heap from becoming larger than would be well for the country.

Another Pulp Angle.
Petersburg rress. )

One of the reasons why the pulp and paper industry is interested in the possibilities o the Alaska field is contained in an article which recently appeared in "The Timberman,' although the author did not make direct reference to this fact. The article was prepared by w. H. Gb bons, in charge of the Forest Products Depart ment of the U. s. Forest Service and the part we have reference to is follows
 The pulp and paper industry can no
 longer afford to locate in new regions
 the basis of existing stands of timber
 alone. It must inquire also into the
 productiveness and capacity of the soil
 and the timber species which can be
 grown.
 No longer can it follow the retreat
 ing timber stands; relatively large plant
 investments alone now tend to bar mi
 gratory habits. Pulp manufacture has
 in general Followed lumbering and
 starting with diminishing supplies of
 timber has reduced them still further.
 stage has now been reached where
 many pulp and paper mills in the East
 either have no timber of their or
 have very limited amounts, and few
 have permanent supplies Through hard
 experience, the paper industry is learn
 ing, if it has not already learned, the
 wisdom of managing timber properties
 on the basis of continuous and perman-
 ent supplies
 In contracting for such large area of pull timber those who have options in Alaska are dolhg so ana nave been permitted to do SO in order that their supply of timber may be perpetual. AS rapidly as an is logged off 1t is to be re-planted that when the entire stand under lease has been logged over once new timber will have matured where the logging started. The species of timber grown in Alaska IS rapid-growing, particularly under the climatic conditions. The heavy rainfall in Southeastern Alaska particularly making this possible
 So the next time you hear somebody croak ing over the large amount of timber the Forest Service has offered under long leases remembe, that IL IS thls large area which assures the permanncy Of the industry the one thing ir which the pulp and paper people are most inter ested Incidentally, the leases are such tha when one area has been logged off and re forested, new contract providing for an in crease Tn price Tor the new timber can be de manded The Forest Service is pursuing a saf, and sane policy in the pulp leases of pernetua benefit to the Territory. Let the knockers sa, what they will.
