rum PACT FARLEY
IS AWAITED HERE
Canada Is Expected to Ask
for Qualification of Di-
yergent Views.
BY the Associated Press.


Word from Ottawa that the Canadian
sinking of the Canadian rum runner
I'm Alone the subject OF formal repre-
sentation to the American Government
was interpreted by unofficial and diplo-
matte circles here as a move on the
part of the Canadians to bring the
anti-rum smuggling treaty of 1924 up
for formal discussion.
The treaty, made between the United
States and Great Britain, is binding on
Canada. A number of divergent views
are held by officials of the two govern
ments on just what points the treaty
covers and 1t has been known for some
time that both the British and Canadian
governments, In connection with pre-
vious rum running incidents, have been
anxious to discuss the divergent points
with the Americans.
Interest Centers in Principles.
Last night State Department officials
said that so far the formal representa-
tions have not been received by the De-
partment. The Canadian legation said
that the only move it has made in the
case was the inquiry several days ago by
the Canadian Minister, Vincent Massey,
for information regarding the incident.
There has been an inclination, during
the last few days in some quarters here
to believe that the Canadians might
drop the case, hence no move in the
way Of an apology or steps to straighten
out the tangle we're made by the Amer
lean authorities.
1t is generally believed that the Ca
nadians are more interested in the prin-
ciples of the case with regard to the
treaty than they are with the actual
sinking.
The 1924 treaty. while giving certain
reciprocal rights to Great Britain for
cooperation against the rum SNUG
glers, is believed by the Canadians to
have been of little reciprocal value to
them.
The unofficial Canadian view is that
the case viii be predicated on three
points. These are:
Whether the pursuit Of suspected
vessel can be carried outside the one
hour limit of the treaty:
The nature of the pursuit, namely,

Justification Is Questioned.

Whether the offense of the I'm Alone
justified the violent action of sinking
her when she refused to surrender to
the Coast Guard
It is apparent that the Canadians in
making their representations felt that
the reports which they received from the
British consul In New Orleans and the
preliminary reports Of the American
Government were sufficient for their
case, as 1t is known that all reports have
not yet been received by the State De-
partment, and consequently have not
been transmitted to Ottawa.

fBv Alice hudson Pealel


There is no more destructive eie.
n1ent in our relation to our children
than that Of holding over for today
the sins and failures OF yesterday.
One young woman remembers with
resentment that, although she had
learned to wear neat clothing by the
time she was 10. her family assumed
that she was still the sloven of her
tomboy days and continued to call
her The Rag Man until she was
grown up.
The same thing often is done in
small daily matters. No We say,
you may not carry the milk pitcher:
Yesterday you spilled it," Or. Last
time I allowed you to go out to play
after supper YOU stayed out an hour
late. No. you can't 60 out today"
And again. When ! gave you that
chocolate you promised to eat only
half and save the rest. But you dis
obeyed me 50 I can't trust you with
candy any more"
The child who constantly is re-
minded Of his past failures grows to
think Of them as part OF himself.
Following his elders lead. he accepts
his faults as q fixed part Of his per-
sonality. He becomes Is pessimistic
about his failures as his parents are.
This Is hardly q state Of mind con-
ducive Of improvement in conduct.
For the child each new day should
be q clean slate. a fresh opportunity
to make an unblemished record-not
that the making Of records should be
uppermost in his mind. or should
occupy any large share of his con-
scious thought. But in so far as the
child thinks Of his behavior at al 1t
should always seem possible for him
TO be quite as good and orderly and
skillful as his elders want him to be.
