TRYING TO GET THE GOAT
 OF MIR, GOODWIN

Tho political srat Tn Ma&achu- sstts between Governor Fuller and Frank A, Goodwin, state registrar of motor vehicles. does not reflect glory upon the Bay state common wealth. The main trouble lies in the fact that the. motor registrar is en- tirely too independent to cult. the governor. that he does not play with the .orga nization. and that Rerub
 ican does not impress him as hay ing special motor privileges over Democrat True. the motor regis trsr has made more statements to the newspapers than any other pub lie official in Maseachusetts. but that probably is. due more to the fact that the others have not made enough. The old style politician does not, believe in taking the public into confidence and prefers to do. hts po- tlitical deeds. ir private. Goodwin rrefers to take a stand and then take the public into hts confidence, explaining the why and th. where fore. and letting the public judge whether he is correct.
 The picayune nature of the Fuller Goodwin feud 'csn be ,udged by the fact that it was brought to q head by the appearance of the codflsh that had, been imprinted on all Mas.ac husetts autonohile license plates this year The registrar joined in the general merriment by admit ting that the codfish looked more like q bulldog without legs. Governor Fuller. zealous for the honor ana dignity of the state. thought this was helping to drag the common wealth in the mud and has decided to dismiss Goodwin from office If he can. Whether this can be done or not remains to be seen. Anyway, If it, is., the. chances are bright that Goodwin will worry the grand old party by running for the governor ship nomination in the primariea eainst Lieutenant Governor Frank C. Allen. the hand-picked candidate of the organization.
 Goodwin originally supported Gov.
 ernor Fuller. but recently apologies
 for having done 60. He has been 1T
 office eight years, was appointed b,
 the Legislature. and there are thos' who claim he comes under civi service classification. He has op posed all the politics as played b! 2 the governor. and it Is not surprisinl 5 to find the governor bit irritated Gooduin's public following. however
 is go great that the grand old part. , of the Bay state csn find no auicke v way to court political .difficultie r than to fire the fiery motor gladi : atot.

THE ARBITRATION BUSINESS


 France and the; United States. which have been engaged in a diplo- mstlc discussion over q special anti. war treaty. have not been able to agree over the details. and the out look IS good or a permanent dis agreement, = Comes to mind that the s6 or % members Of tho League of Nations agreed under the covenant way back in 1e1s' to submit any dispute which might lead to | rupture either to arbitration. judicial settlement or to inquiry by tho Council of the League.
 It IS true that this comprehensive anti-war provision of the covenant still leaves certain loorholes for war in case cf disputes. For instance. the Council Of the League may fall 10 report on, . dispute within six 1 n,onthe, as required; or it may fall to report unanimously. IS Is also re- quired.
 These loophclee are pretty large. ,t will be noticed Yet public opinion might help to bridge them.
 Between France and the United states not even such thing as pub lie opinion has chance after the diplomats get through,
 Then. there are the four Lcearno treaties. eigned in 1926. with Ger many on the one hand and France. Belgium, Czechoslovakia and Poland on the other. also two other similar treaties between France and Rn- mania and Czechoslovakia and Spain. These also are anti wal treaties. the parties agreeing to sub
 init to pacific settlement all dis rltes-of every kiid except disputes
 belonging to the past, or those
 rising out of events prior to ths
 treaties
 But in dealing gith the Unitee
 States Monsieur, Brland sees. th' necessity. of adding words abnu I
 "agsrs ssion' into the prepose'
 treaty. With sone sort. Of treaties Untl Sam has hard luck. Two fffths 0 the pretty treaties protected at th'
 Pan-American conferences of th'
 past have never been ratified. ant
 even Panama refuses to ratify on' which would put her in a state o war whenever we are faced witl similar trouble.
 But in discussing such things V lead the world. We have more ideal ists to the square mile than the re 7 mainder of the world combined. But idealists unhaprily don't sig
