Senator Robinson, Arkansas. minority
leader of the Senate, said: II do not
favor an amendment to the Constitu-
ton of the United States making ex-
United States Senate for the following
reasons:
Il, The original theory upon which
the Senate was created contemplates
that Senators shall serve as 'ambassa-
doris from the States which choose
them. The amendment to the Federal
Constitution providing for the election
of Senators by the people constituted
substantial change in our govern
mental system, but the right of the
States to equal representation con-
tinues. The balance of power among
the States would be upset by the plan
proposed.

would be improved by injecting life
tenure into the national legislature.

Of the benefit of the experience &C
quired by an ex-President, since he
may be elected to the Senate In the
same way that others are chosen. An
eX-President who commands conf
dence can be useful even in an un-
official status, and the value of his
experience need not be lost President
Taft Is probably more useful as Chief
Justice than he would be as a thirC

Monument to Foreign
Legion Is Unveiled

Fallen heroes of the French Foreign
Legion who tramped through Algerian
streets for the World War front seemed
to march again in spirit as their COM
rades paraded when fitting monument
was unveiled in Bel-Abbes early in De-
cember. Behind the solemn drum
beats from a military band the legion
na1res thumped rythmically, echoing the
hallowed cadence that IA years ago drew
resounding cheers.
The military procession followed a
touching ceremony, Gov. Gen. Pierre
BordeS officiating at the Inauguration
OF the memorial in the town which is
the cradle of the legion. Bel-Abbes has
a European appearance, with handsome
buildings, wide streets and a beautiful
public garden. For the glory of the
legion. the barrack buildings there con-
tain a sale d'honneur," or hall of
honor, wherein are preserved souvenirs
of battles fought by legionnaires the
world over
In a glass box rests the sword of a
general who bequeathed 1t to the legion
while mortally wounded. Near by hangs
a sketch of cemetery in the Far East,
roughly drawn by legion men on poor
sheet of paper, bearing classical Latin
inscription-and more mementoes. This
museum is unique with it's tragic re-
minders of the heroic work by soldiers
such as those to whom the Bel-Abbes
monument was laid.

whereon the BITS books expounding the

book contains five pages, a disturbing
fact indicative of the loquaciouSness OF

Einstein is the most important event

Europe Courts Big Business

young chemical industries seriously,
but thus far America has been holding
its own with decided success, making
"a per cent of its dye requirements,
for instance.
American steel competition continues
to outpoint the cartels, although it is
only fair to add that Europe is still
ahead of America in steel research.
The Continental Steel Entente. the
official name of the steel cartel, has not
increased it's production quota since
early in 1927, but has devoted itself
to its internal difficulties. 1t has
also absorbed in recent months the
Central European Steel Cartel austria,
Hungary and CZechoSlovakia). The
system of fines for overproduction has
already been changed twice since the
steel cartel was formed, the last change
being to tighten the burden on Ger
man overproduction, which has been
constant. The German export quota
was also increased from 275,000 to
300 900 tons. The steel cartel has not
yet succeeded in finding an amicable
way to set export prices and apportion
markets and orders.
The only three cartels which are at
all formidable to America, besides the
chemical cartel. are the big foreign oil
cartels.
Swedish Match Combine.
The great Swedish match combine,
almost a world monopoly, has been very
successful even in America, where it
controls the Swedish American Invest
ment Corporation 1t does not manu-
facture here at all. its goods being dis
tributed through an owned subsidiary
and through the Diamond Match
Co. The foreign rayon cartels have
built great factories in America and
succeeded immensely.
The situation in oil Is now of the
highest significance, in respect to the
international cartel as device. There
is actually possibility that an inter-
national oil cartel will be formed, with
America included. This Is reputed to be
Sir Henri Deterding's aim. 1t has been
considered many times, but there is a
much greater likelihood of its formation
now since the Royal Dutch-Shell oil
group has made peace with Standard
Oil.
This cartel, If 1t actually comes to
pass, would be really international in
scope. This would be, indeed, epoch
making, for although foreign Cartels
operate in the United States, few, if any.
cartels of any size have big American
firms in their group. 1t would bring
about the realization of the dream of
far-visicned economists who have fore
seen a peaceful indignation of its raw
materials and the logical ALLEGATION of
production on the quota plan. Doubt
less this dream is both as near and as
far from realization as its international
peace, but it is significant that efforts
toward both great ends are now no
onger deemed chimerical.

have been, generally speaking, mere
informal and personal conversations"
1t Is generally understood that the ne
gotiators have not only had full au-
thorization from the two governments
in Rome, but that the representatives
of each side have been In constant
touch with their principals, and that
the agreement represents a real meet
ing of minds on the part of the Vatican
and the Palazzo Chigi.
At any rate the agreement has been
made and it now remains for the Pope
and II Duce formally to approve and
ratify 1t If they so desire.
Should this be done, one more of
Europe's vexed and stubborn problems
will have been brought to an amicable
solution. The long struggle of Rome'S
two souls for possession of its physical
body will have reached a happy ter
mination by the agreement of the con-
testants to stop quarreling and make
the best Of a joint tenancy.

Various Plans Rejected.


on the Tiber, it was thought that a
papal boat might convey the Pope from
here TO Civita Vecchia, part of which
was to be placed under the juriSdic-
ton of the holy see.
This plane was also set aside and the
negotiatorS finally arrived at an agree
ment on a third proposal. This con-
templates the ceSsion to the papacy of
a small territory lying back Of the
Vatican gardens and including the Villa
Doria Pamphili. The Pope Is to be
recognized as the sovereign of this
territory and thus takes his place once
more as temporal prince.
Recognized as Temporal Sovereign.
AS such he would continue to ignore
the law of guarantees, but would make
a treaty with Italy securing his rights
and his position. The holy see would
thus give up its claim for restitu-
| ton OF the papal states, but in return
would secure recognition of its claim
that the Pope be accorded the peroga-
tive of temporal sovereign.
The financial account is to be squared
| by the payment of an indemnity OF
| 1,000,000,000 gold Ira, or upward OF
| $50,000,000. This is in lieu of the an

NATURALIZATION
 M ADE EASY FOR| DO IN ALASKA
Aliens Without Record ol Entry Can Naturalize
 Under New Law

More than 100 persons residing in Alaska who have been unable to obtain final naturalization papers, because there is no record of their admission for permanent residence at the port through which they claimed to have entered the United States can now become citizens un- der a law passed by Congress at the last session. This is pointed out by w. G. Strench, district director of immigration at Ketchikan.
 Provision has been made for legalizing such entries if adnlis- sion occurred prior to June 3, 1921, if the alien has resided in the United States continuously since such entry; if he is a person of good moral character, and if he is not subject to deportation" said MT. Stench. "The procedure. for accomplishing this legislation of entry contemplates at this time an examination similar to the one which should have undergone at the time he came into the country"
 Tn Alaska, the matter of arrang- ing for the legalization of these entries is under the jurisdiction of the district director of immigra- tion at Ketchikan who has indi- cated that those interested should communicate with him and make request for registration blank forms. During July or August, an inspector of the United States Immigration Service will visit various parts of Alaska to conduct the examinations.
 It is pointed out that from the entry records to be made under this new law, certificates of arrival will be prepared and filed in the appropriate district court, after which the matter of naturalization can be proceeded with.
