ships are built We shall still be inferior to Great Brit
ain and below our treaty ratio in respect 10 Japan.
These ships are demanded by the most elementary
considerations Of naval defense and the protection OF
our shipping. They will constitute neither a "big"
navy nor n threat of aggression to any one.
The relation Of the Kellogg treaty to self-defenss
has been stated by its author. In his note Of June %.
1928. Mr.. kellogg said;
"There is nothing in the American draft Of an ant
war treaty which restricts or impairs In any way the
right of self -defense. That right is inherent in every
sovereign state and is implicit in every treaty. Every
nation is free at all times and regardless Of treaty
provisions to defend its territory from attack or in
vasion, and it alone is competent to decide whether
circumstances require recourse to war in self-defense.'
II Mr.. Kellogg had not claimed this dubious aspect
Of the treaty II could not have been sincerely adhered
to by any nation. When these friends OF peace argue
that the treaty is inconsistent with reasonable safe
guards for defense they do the treaty a grave dis
service. In view Of Mr.. Kellogg's note and the French
and British reservations. we are of the opinion that
formal American reservations are unnecessary and that
IL can be safely ratified with only an informal refer
ence TO these reservations. These misleading pleas for
the treaty and against the naval bill only lend aid and
comfort to its opponents, Senator'S Reed and Moses.
There Is only one sensible answer TO such pleas AM
only one safe way to protect the treaty from these dan
gerous friends. That is to pass the cruiser bill first.
thereby confirming Mr.. Kellogg's Interpretation Of the
treaty that it in no way restricts the right OF Americs
to protect its shores, its citizens or its commerce.

The World and AID
THE RISKS OF SOVEREIGNTY
By Charles r. Driseoil

Whoever takes the job OF king or queen, emperor
or empress, accepts some little risk. It's true that the
rest Of us accept risks when We accept a job or a hus-
band or a wife or an honorary position. But the ruler
is a highly specialized craftsman. and there il no Job
open to him in all the world, once he loses his throne.
And he can hardly hope to be happy choppinE down
trees or contemplating the world from a quiet island
or country estate. after Ringing it for several years.
Always, there have been deposed emperors. kings
and sundry royalty living on ther relatives or on the
bounty Of republican governments, scattered about the
world. There arc more royal and noble loafers at
liberty as the actor-folk say, now than ever before.
Empress Eugene, wife Of Napoleon III Of France.
lived o~a Of the most interesting and tragic OF royal
lives. She was born in 1926 and died in 1920. She was
the daughter Of a Spanish count and a Scotch girl
whose maiden name had been Kirkpatrick. Napoleon
III, who was doing his best TO make the republican
French like imperial rule, married her when she was
27 years old.
Empress Eugene (you pronounce il You-zhay-neeb
lived to see her country beaten by the Germans. She
lived to flee before the French revolutionistS, out the
side door Of her palace. into a cab. and away to Eng
land. She lived in exile; her husband died when she
was ~; her son was killed, fighting blacks in Africa
for the English king. when she was 50. The ek-sm-
press lived on, always hoping that she would get back
her throne in France. But the French had had enough
of kings and queens and expresses. and forgot all about
her.
She lived through the World war, saw IN, earth
dotted with the aabitations OF rulers exiled a. tragic

New York traffic officers we're somewhat chasrlnsd
last week when they sscertained that for several years
that had been "~bluffine" the motorists whose slow cars
threatened traffic jams.
An auto driver contended he had the right 10 drive

until stopped by the officer. The magistrate searched
the statutes. He found all kinds Of fines and punish
rrents act out for drivers who broke the speed limit.
but not a word respecting tho minimum speed. The
driver, assured he could not be held, stated that he
merely desired to test the bluff of the traffic Of
fircrs."
The New York legislature will be requested to rem
edy the defect in the traffic laws, and it is probable
that other states will fix = minimum limit for motor
vehicles On streets or Highways. In discussing the
ease the magistrate pointed out that the creeping
driver is a greater menace, especially in heavy traffic.
than the speed demon who is subject to . heavy fine.
Traffic on all major highways is rapidly becoming
40 ccngested that in the not far distant future every
state will be required TO set a minimum speed limits
and possibly advance the maximum speed limit TO 81
or IS miles an hour. Practically none OF the states
have taken legislative cosnizance Of changing eOndi-
tions. and traffic laws passed four or five years ago
are already obsolete. A speed Of 10 to Is miles on tns
average highway is perfectly safe. and the real menace
to motor traffic is the horse-drawn vehicle, or the

while he demonstrates how slowly his car can operate

Radical reforms in the traffic laws are expected To
b enacted this year in several states. and Texas is
among the number that would profit by overhtuling al
traffic statutes snd amending them to conform with
more modern conditions.

There is a distinction between the population O
