Senate. With the Senate's action the
House leaders, exercising the sound
judgment of which they are capable,
should move speedily to agreement by
compromise. A further fight by the
House at this late date would make its

The Senate is not going to yield, for the

is important only as q spur TO accom-
plishment.
Medicine is half q science and half
an art. At the present stage of its his
tory it cannot depend entirely en- objec-
tive technique. Bodily ills are both
mental and physical with a constant
interplay between these fields A great
part Of successful medical practice still
depends on the intensive study of one
individual by another individual.
A widening area of the medical field
now is thoroughly objective with tech
riques which can be applied coldly and
impersonally by any adequately trained
and technically competent person. Such
is the administration of the various
specifics. These still are lamentsbly
few. Eventually this circumscribed area
may widen 80 as to include the greater
part of medical service. When that
day comes the Specialization of medicine
probably will be inevitable.
But so long as the subjective element
remains significantyso long as medicines
depend for their potency not alone on
their own qualities but on something
which the individuality of the physician
puts into them, the RELOCATION of the
profession to public employees is a
dangerous procedure.
The physician must combine the
qualities of scientist and an artist, of
q teehnician and priest. These quail
ties can be appropriately balanced. The
danger in private practice lies in the
tendency to subordinate both
of them to the entirely different quail
ties of the business man.

Whose Ok Is Gored /?

In naval limitation, as in other fields
Of human activity, it would appear,
everything depends on whose OK is
gored. For many weeks past officers
Of the United States General Navy
Board, in response to questions directed
ut them by Senate committees. have
been airing their objections to the
London treaty. They declared it in
many respects injurious to the interests
Of the country.
A few weeks ago a high officer of the
Japanese admiralty staff committed
hara-kiri in protest against the pact.
on the ground that it seriously i'm
periled the national security of japan.
Now come Great Britain's principal
naval dignitaries. Admiral Earl Beatty
and Admiral Viscount Jellieee-heroes
Of Jutland-and assail the London
agreement hip and thigh from Britain
MAS standpoint. The one-time mistress
OF the seas. say Beatty and Jellieoe. is
hopelessly compromised by the treaty.
The basis Of this allegation, they
claim, is that Britain is the one treaty.
power which undertakes any disarma-
ment or reduction, while the United
states gets an increase of 273,Oo0 tons.
Japan's strength is augmented ten per

Viscount Jellicoe particularly lament
the injustice done to the British aeet
because, they contend, it is now In

the empires interests in the Far East
S-presumably a reference to India.
1t will occur to a good many Amer
scans, who are neither blind partisans
nor unreasoning opponents of the
London treaty, that, under the cir
cumstances, it must be a pretty good
treaty after all. If each Of the high
contracting parties to a bargain feels
that the other fellows have trimmed"

To the Editor OF The Star;

one-way street, going west being pro-
hibited. Many autoistS do not seem to
know this, and the small weather.
beaten sign on the northwest corner of
Seventh and r streets is often unob-
served when the green light flashes.
or course, when a fellow is told both
TO go" and stop" it would puzzle
Police Court lawyer to decide which
order to obey and this accounts for
many going the wrong way on this one
way street. The Traffc Bureau should
put more conspicuous sign on this
corner, hang red lantern on the one
way sign. or detail a Lrafie cop to
handle the job. The four street-car
tracks at this corner make it an impor-
tant section for both vehicles and
pedestrians, and neglect to remedy the
defect complained Of may result in
serious accident some day.
