aid him. Keep the little secrets he
whispers to you and pretend to be
very much interested and surprised.
The thrill will wear off after he
establishes the fact of his own Inn
Eortance to his small satisfaction.
When he is ready for school the
chances are that he'll not be at all In
tercsted in secrets any more.
But there is one thing that mothers
should watch out for: that is a differ
ent sort Of clandcstine urge from the
natural secrecy found IN character de-
velopsnent.
Pleasure in Concealment
1t is the deliberate action Of q child
to conceal what he doesn't want other
people to know. because he finds more
pleasure In concealment than In open
ness.
Now 1t must not be supposed that
children fall into secrecy only from
motives Of, misbehavior. although that
Is. I suppose. the commonest cause.
But there is q sort Of sensitive, shy,
rather suspicious sort OF child who
can't stand the sun Of observation. He
is unhappy when people look at him
or notice what he does.
He would rather play alone. or per-
haps with one companion who UNDER
stands him. He prefers quiet little

bination Of nations which might be

And it can hardly be said that tho
moral alliance which these two have
established and which is not In any

way If tho important countries OF
continental Europe were to reiusn 10

Sncc Macdonald arrived in this
country some distinctly so,lr notes

Japan. There arc those IN each coun-
try who cent an alliance,
These doubts and suspicious arc not
lisely to stand in the way for very
LONG. Both tho American n Brit
ish governments will devote them
selves to removing them. One excel
lent reason for tho virtual certainty
that the other three nations will fall
in linc-and from an Old~-fashlOned
point of view a most important one
IS that each ono stands pretty we'll
alone under the present scheme OF
things.
Both France and Italy arc putting
up Il terrific holler about the proposal
TO abolish submarines. Everyone
knew they would II II we're made.
Hoover and Macdonald knew II. too.
The immediate assumption In Wash
ington was that the two men had
decided that submarines would make
a good trading point with France and
Italy. though many may question the
vision Of such a step.
The Conference Will Succeed
Submarines will not be allowed to
wreck the five power conference
three months hence and Hoover and
Macdonald did not decide to ram
the measure down anyone's throat.
Nothing in this dispatch or from
any other source should lead anyone
to believe that the Kingdom Of
Heaven has arrived OH earth. Time
may undo the work that Hoover and
Macdonald are doing. There arc
bound TO be some bitter rows over
naval strength before the five powers
arc through. The freedom Of the seas
issue will have to be threshed out
sooner or later. The debt issue Is far
from dead. Hoover's hope Of naval
reduction probably will not be realized
Immediately.
The main point is, however. that
there is going to be a five-power ma
val conference which America and
Britain will enter with a construc-
tive program and 1t will not be al
lowed to fail.
