nected with the League of Nations has been made by Lord Cushendun, ] and it sufficed to riddle Russian retensions for disarmament until | M. Litvinov and his delegates cringed in mental agony before the devas- tating declarations of the Britlsher.
 For seven years the Soviets had spurned the League Of Nations; ridiculing it, and calling it de- batting society without power or practical purpose. Suddenly, last .all, they signified their intention of sending delegates to the League Dis armament Commission: and just re- gently they made the proposal that the way 10 dsarm was 10 disarnl. and 1t was Russia's scheme that all na- tons do so.
 That nearly. if not quite, agreed with the thesis of our own secretary ot state, who must have been molli- fled to have the Soviets take up this thread Of thought.
 Lord Cushendun towering six foot scheme and in the opinion Of every thoughtful person barred ulterior and ugly motives.
 The Russian proposal was little less than an attempt at sabotage Of the League and its works. From first to last, in the Soviet proposal. there is no mention Of the League. and the peaceful conventions suggested are not even to be registered with the League.
 The plan to abolish all armed forces, as suggested by the Soviets, turns out to have strings attached to 1t which would make of Russia the chief armed force. And 1t would give most power to those nations able to mproyise forces and manufacture arms. The SoNiets suggested that To- cal police in each nation be appor- toned 10 the length Of a nations communications Under such d plan Russia would have a powerful army having huge communication lines while it's neighbors would have small armies, or police
 The soviats further demanded that the "police' be armed with rifles. Why rifles, if not to trans l form Russian police" into an army with such implements? The Soviet | proposals also would permit the 1 populace to have 1evolvers for per- | sonal defense. Every citizen in Rus sia would then become armed for | whatever enterprises the SoSiets i would like 10 engage in. and as the | population is large, the advantage | would be with Russia compared with | less populated countries.
 Other impossible attributes of the | Russian proposal are too numerous 1 for q limited analysis. That the en- | tire proposal was one to throw q :,

PLACING THE CANNON

The acquisition of captured can non, which it is intended to dis play in the city, is no new thing in this vicinity. X former German can non has been on display i'll Berlin, al the little park on the crest of Worthington hill, and it has been there for several years.
 Some citizens oppose the display of cannon al prominent points. Such opposition arose in Hartford recently when it was proposed to display q German cannon in front of the old state house. Opposition centered around the claim that cannon are not particularly handsome decora- tions, regardless of their value as symbols of the late victorious con- Ilict. The Hartford Times strongly opposed the suggestion.
 New Britain seems to have been one of the last cities to obtain q German cannon. In Boston and New \ ork they have been on display for years. and hundreds of other cities likewise have had such considera- ton Somehow New Britain was en- .s- II
