HOLDS j. 5. MUST
AGREE TO TREATY
Princeton Professor Says
Other Nations Will "ConSid-
er Us Nation of Bluff"

Unless other nations are to consider
us as Nation of bluff" the Senate must
ratify the pan-American treaty Of arbi-
tration, Prof John B. Whitton of
Princeton University declared today at
a meeting of the National Council for
the Prevention of War at the Dodge
Hotel.
SHOULD the United States ratify this
treaty." Prof. Whitton asked. Let us
address ourselves to an attempt to an
Swer this vital question which Will soon
O. be considered by the United States
Senate If met by the country as whole.
THE first reason, it seems to me,
which should lead up to ratity this
treaty Is that otherwise we would play
false to our traditions as peace-lovlng
country and as perhaps the outstand-
ing leader In the movement for interna-
,tional justice.
"The rebirth of arbitration in our
modern State system and its rise TO
the position even beyond that which 1t
once held among the Greeks was due
very largely to the United States. After
the principle OF arbitration
r in our articles of confederation for the
settlement of disputes between the sew
eraI States. we gave it practical eX-
preston in our international relations
Through the great Jay treaty OF 1884,
wherein we Joined with Great Britain
in confiding several vital outstanding
questions to international arbitral COM
missions. After thus making arbitra-
ton at the outset cardinal principle
of our foreign policy we continued our
good record with some exceptions. OF
course in the nineteenth century. Dur
ang this period we were party to 90
@rbitrationS."
The speaker was particularly anxious
20 impress upon his audience the i'm
portance Of American ratification Of
the treaty. IF ratified" he added, "it
will mean that for the first time the
American States have accepted a
Rnultilateral treaty favoring compulsory
arbitration in principle and accepting
it in fact for limited type of cases.
If lived up to in good faith this treaty
may constitute a real contribution to
the cause of justice. Such step was
inevitable once the Briand-Kellogg pact
had been ratified and if adopted in its
present form without mutilation or i'm
Oortant modification it will mean that
our Senate has gone on record as being
in favor of limited obligatory arbitra-
ton and not n mere sham variety of 1t.
An appeal for a better understanding
of the purpose of military training was
made at last nights opening session by
Tucker P. Smith, executive secretary of
the committee on militarism and edu-
cation. He said West Point typifies what
physical training stands for.
Last nights meeting was held in
Pierce Hall, and tonight at 1880 O'Clock
the deliberations of the conference will
be moved to the Y. w. c. A.

REPORT LISTS new
SCHOOL LAWS HERE
Four Bills Sponsored by the
Board Were Enacted in
Last Congress.

Four bills affecting District public
schools were passed, three failed OF
enactment, and one other which had
been framed was not IL reduced into
Congress during the l928-29 school
year, it was pointed out by DR.. Frank
w. Ballou, superintendent OF schools
IN the fourth section Of his annual re-
port made public today.
In the fourth section of his report
DR.. Ballou discussed briefly the legisla-
ton that was prepared and supported
by the Board Of Education during the
last school year, and called attention
to certain other legislation which did
not originate with the school board but
which affects the public school system
directly or indirectly.
Two Were Boards Ideas.
Two of the four bills which we're
passed by Congress during 1928-29, one
providing the amendment OF certain
sections of the teachers salary act, and
the other exempting individual school
board members from personal liability
in damages for any of1cial act OF the
board, were on the Board of Educa-
tons own legislative program of five
bills. The other two bills which were
passed during the last year were the
diploma mill law and the healing arts
law, which places the superintendent
of schools on the commission which
regulates the practice Of those arts in
the District.
The bills which failed to pass we're
free-textbook bill, the bill providing
exemption of public school teachers
from the $4,000 salary limitation and
a second five-year school building pro-
gram measure. The first of these
measures was on the school boards
legislative program for the year. The
passage of the first was prevented, DR..
BALLOTS report explains, by the in
sistence OF Senator Heflin of Alabama
that the bill should include amend
ments incorporating certain views
which he holds with respect to the
matter of separation Of church and
state"
Left on Calendar.
The $4,000 salary limitation bill,
which would permit the School Board
to hire employees of Government depart
ments who have valuable expert knowl-
edge which could be an asset to the
course of instruction offered in night
schools, was left on the calendar when
Congress adjourned.
The fifth of the School Boards bills
that providing leave of absence with
part pay for teachers and officers, was
drafted and approved by the School
Board. which then submitted 1t to the
District Commissioners. The Commits
sioners, in turn, had q study of the
bill made by the Bureau of Efficiency
The efficiency report recommended Ger.
tain modification. and these will be
made during the current season, the re-
port sets forth.
The second five-year school building
program, as prepared by the Schoo
Board, was introduced in Congress, but
hearings were not held on 1t. Suisse
Quently Representative Simmons of Ne
braska, chairman Of the subcommittee
on appropriations, introduced a bill
designed to accomplish the same pur'
pose as the School Boards second five.
year program bill. Hearings were no
held on this measure either.

BY DONALD A. CRAIG.

January "a, 1865-The Board Of Al
dermen, IL of whom were present at
today's meeting, considered and passed
favorably upon several projects for the
laying Of water mains, drain pipes
and other city Improvements. The chair
was occupied by Mr.. Lloyd in the abb
sence of the president of the board.
The chairman laid before the board
a communication from the chief of
corporation policies, transmitting a
amounting in the aggregate to
$27,242.53. for the year 1864. The
amount due for the last six months Is in
the hands of the city officers for COL
lection.
Mr. Noyes. from the committee on
public schools, reported with approval a
bill for the establishment of two new
primary schools in the second school
district. The measure was adopted.
Various other measures were disposed
OF before the board adjourned.
A Richmond newspaper, received in
this city today, contains the remarkable
threat that the Monroe Doctrine will
be invoked If aid Is given the United
States by Mexico. and then proceeds to
declare. while incidentally opposing the
rule of the Austrian Emperor Maxi
milan, that when the present Civil
War is over both Northern and South
ern armies will invade that country to
drive out the European invader. This,
many persons think, will furnish the
Mexicans and their foreign rulers with
something interesting to think about.

THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Friday, January rs.

Good and bad planetary aspects con-
tend today, according to astrology,
which finds in the stars menacing
signs
The morning is suspicious for pro-
fessors. scientists and lawyers, for the
sway quickens all the mental processes,
1t is believed
Aviators will benefit while this con-
f1guration prevails, but they should be
cautious in making flights under this
planetary government
Under this rule of the stars educa-
tors and philosophers may be inclined
to criticise world conditions and to see
the worst instead Of the best.
It is head as a most unlucky day to
seek employment, and foolhardy indeed
is the employe who asks for an increase
in compensation while these aspects
have power
Labor may express discomfort and
make insistelnt demands under the in
huence of this government of the stars.
Women may be inclined to indulge in
temperament and to be rather exact
ing in the family circle. They should
exercise self-control until there is a
more favorable sway.
Hasty words and quick retorts are
frequent under this rule, and for this
reason men and women should think
twice before they speak today.
In legislative halls the sinister power
of malefic aspects may be apparent in
heated debates and captious speeches.
OfficeholderS are subject to severe
judgment at this time, when individual
problems cause the people to envy
what is termed success.
Theaters and those who play in them
may look for surprising conditions that
appear unfortunate but herald a period
of great drama, the seers prophesy.
Severe weather In many party of
the country will interfere with many
lines of business, it is prognosticated
but ultimately losses will be more than
compensated. astrologers forecast
Persons whose birth date 1t is have
