Sd PARTY TALK

Borah and Norris SqueICh
All Hope for Bolt; Both
Major Groups Reveal Riffs
By GEORGE r. HOLMES

The furry Of talk of a thir !
party which has filled Washing
ton for a week, while wholly spec
ulative and academic, has had, in
the opinion of politicians, ~everal
rather important results.
1t has demonstrated that there
il scant chance Of any third party
movement in 1882, thereby clear.
ing the political atmosphere far
in advance Of the campaign. 1t
also has emphasized and con-
firrned the splits that exist in both
old parties as between the con-
servative and liberal elements.
BOrah Keeps Calm
Senator Borah (RO of Idaho
and Senator Norris (R0 Of Ne
braska have been the two men
most mentioned as available Tor
the leadership of new party.
Both have hastened to proclaim
their unwillingneSs to do so and
their intention of staying within
the Republican party and work
ing for it's reformation.
Senator Borah said:
There has been some talk OF
Gov. Clifford Pinchot, of Pennsyl-
vania, heading a third party move
ment, but no responsible politician
in Washington believes there is
any chance of his getting into ac-
ton unless both parties should go
antiprohibition in the next cam
paign.
Prohibition Main Issue
But there is almost universal
agreement among the politicians
that If a third party is born it
will be the child of the prohibi-
ton issue. For on that issue both
parties reveal wide riffs.
There is a third party, how
ever, in legislative matters that
is functioning regularly and
showing no signs of dying. It
consists of the so-called progress

publican and Democratic parties.

LONDON, May GA dispute between
the Roman Catholic Church and the
state in the Island of Malta, Medi-
Empire, echoed in the House of Com
mons yesterday.
Reports have reached London that
the Catholic archbishop of Malta has
announced that any one voting for
Lord Strickland, present prime min
lister, or any member of the Constitu-
tional party during the forthcoming
elections, would be committing a mortal
sin.
Arthur Henderson, foreign secretary,
remarked that British diplomatic rep
resentation at the Vatican City cost
about $4,000 annually, and a Labor
member replied by asking if the repre-
sentative could not prevent interior
ence with the government of Malta?"
Loud cries of Answer" which fol-
lowed indicated there was a strong
feeling about the struggle between
church and state in Malta and the
neighborhing island of Coco.
The bishop of Coco has issued all
edict forbidding members of the Con-
stitutional party to approach for Easter
communion or to receive dissolution.
These developments in Malta, which
nave moved EdplQly Slice ldSI yedI, die
said to have followed upon an airplane
visit by the archbishop of Malta to
Rome. The crisis rapidly spread after
Lord Strickland, himself a Roman
Catholic, refused to allow Franciscan
priest, who was a British citizen, to be
transferred against his will to Sicily on
orders of the superior of the community
in Malta.
The government asserts that the
transfer was ordered on political
grounds. After protracted discussion
1t issued an ordinance postpoing all
further proceedings in the coming gen.

safety"

port of it.
In cooperation with The Hague
courts, the Geneva Institute for the
Study of International Relations and
similar institutions, the Academy Of
Peace, DR.. Curtius explained, will have
a threefold task: the publishing of in
ternational research work in various
languages, scientific Investigations into
the possibilities of organizing q just
and peaceful order in international poll
tics, such as is developing through the
Kellogg pact, and educational work,
which is TO consist of teaching the
science of peace at universities and
other institutions of learning.
I'm other words, an attempt is now
being made in Germany" DR.. Curtius
went on, under the motto, If you
want peace, organize for peace The
academy is to study the most effective
ways of securing peace, he says, just as
academies of war major" in exploring
the most efficient and scientific meth
DDS of waging war. Stresemann was
Germany's great untiring fighter for
international conciliation," his success
sor-eulogist declares, and the new insti-
tuition at Berlin is dedicated to the
perpetuation of his ideals.
Germany, it may be well for sheer
pacifists to observe, is not unmindful
of the virtues Of what George Washing
ton called "a respectable defensive pos
ture," while taking her stand for peace
Within the limits of sthe Versailles
treaty-which Or. Curtius on Saturday
stigmatized as the most unjust of
peace treaties"-and within the dimen-
sions of its budget, the Reich continues
to arm by land and sea, as is its good
right.
Until a naughty world is more COM
pletely regenerated, no Academy Of
Peace can fail to teach the grim neces-
sity of adequate preparedness as one of
the fundamental bulwarks of a nations

Ocean Flying Stunts
Are Beginning Again

From the Charleston Is. CO. Evening Post.
There have been few attempts to fly
across the ocean made in the past year.
After a long list of tragedies had been
recorded by courageous and sometimes
foolhardy aviators, the lure of the ocean
flight seems to have lost its power. Now
1t is to begin again. At least the pas
sage from Europe to America, which
has never been perfectly accomplished,
Is to be esSayed, this time by an Amer
ican. He will seek to emulate on the
western flight Lindbergh's splendid per-
formance, flying west to east.
Arthur Goebel Is the adventurous
aviator who will try this perilous feat,
He won the airplane race to Honolulu,
and he made the first nonstop fight
from the Pacific to the Atlantic Coast
of the United States. He will send his
plane to France by steamship and will
start from lie Bourget, the flying field
near Paris, and endeavor alone to reach
New York, reversing Lindberghs great
flight >
Little of q practical and useful
nature can be accomplished in this
stage Of airplane development by so
hazardous a test as Goebel is prepar-
ing to make. But there is no use talk
ing against tranSoceanic record flying.
There is hardly much of practical pur-
pose held by any of these flyers in their
essay of the Atlantic crossing, but that
makes no difference. This is all a
matter of sportsmanship, which may be
better than commercial objective.
