TINE following Is q brief summary
Of the most important news of
the world for the seven days
ended October II:
GREAT BRITAIN.-Matters Of the
first moment to the British common
wealth of nations and the world are
in earnest debate In the imperial con-
ference at London.
About am. on october 5, as the
dirigible R-1o1 was passing over Beau
vais, France, en- route for India, she
was destroyed by an explosion followed
by confiagration. Forty-six persons, in
GLIDING Lord Thomson, the British air
minister, and Sir Seton Brancker, d.
rector of British civil aviation, were
burned beyond recognition; eight sur
vived, of whom only three escaped
serious burns and other injuries, and
one has since died. The cause of the
disaster Is not clearly ascertained, but
it is plausibly inferred from the ac-
counts Of the survivors that the craft
encountered a terrible storm Of wind
and rain and was forced downward;
that, after dangerously nose-diving
twice. she struck the explosion Of the
hydrogen following. 1t is possible,
however, that the explosion occurred
while the craft was in the air. The
survivors showed great heroism in vain
endeavors to save their trapped COM
rades.
The annual conference Of the Brit
ish Labor party opened at Llandudno,
Wales, on october 6. presided over by
Miss Susan Lawrence, NJ. p, parlia-
mentary secretary to the minister Of
health and leading authority on the
slum question.
There are many differences Of opin-
ion within the party. The other day
the Trades Union Congress (most of
the members Of the party are members
OF trade unions) declared in favor Of
bulk purchase Of food supplies to be 80

the dominions But the proposal is
said not to be pleasing to the domin-
ions, and it Is not altogether pleasing
to certain members Of the government,

tension of the system of imperial pref

Denmark Found Bundle of Contentment
Without Hard Times of Others of Europe

COPENHAGEN (SpeciaD while It
may be correct that small nations, like
small people, often compensate for
their diminutiveness by great dignity,
or even an impudent aggressiveness,
Denmark today would cause no psyche
analyst to ponder new worlds to con-
quer. Even If. according to the argyll
ments for military reduction, she is
too little to fight the big fellows" she
appears to have made good adjust
ment to that fact and kept peace with
nations in her own weight.
No one who observes the utter lack
OF obsequiouSness or Servility on the
part of Danes (even those In the

the nation has any inferiority COM
about the people, an Astounding sense

Agreement Is Asked
On Fur Seal Treaty

A group of japanese interested in
the seal-hunting industry have asked
the foreign Office and the ministry of
agriculture and forestry to take action
looking to revision or cancellation of
the four-power fur-seal treaty entered
into 20 years ago by the United States,
Japan, Great Britain and Russia. The
petitioners assert that continuance of
the agreement is causing great incon-
venience and loss to Japanese seal
hunters and that no action has been
taken to clear up the status of the
treaty, although technically 1t expired
four years ago. The agreement has
served its purpose, they contend, for
under, its protection seals in Northern
Pacific waters have increased to such
an extent that they are now often seen
in large numbers on the coast of
Sendai, which is near the middle of
Main Island. Some difficulty in In
shutting Horsepower discussion of the
situation Is foreseen, due to the fact
that no official relations exist between
Russia epd the United States.

position to the Jewish people.
The word "Judenrepublik" has done
more harm to the republican idea in
Germany than any other slogan or
criticism. 1t Is through its fanatical
anti-semitism that this party-entirely
financed by German big business and
still closely linked to Herr Hugenberg,
the highest representative of capitalistic
interests in Germany-has succeeded
IN hiding its true nature under a ca
mouhage Of phrases and formulas and

for August Bebel first and afterward
for Friedrich Ebert: Freedom for the
German people from the grip of inter-

to establish an international socialism
for the sake Of the working classes.
To turn to the tactics that have en-
abled the fanatical anti-semitic slo-
gans to flood half of Germany, they

to be in a country with the military
traditions of Prussia. The party was

leaders quoted above put this part of
their proposal in specific words. 1t is,
however. a necessary inference from
each of the six programs. 1t is strong
futile, who describes what he would
not have in such words as to lead in
evftably to the conclusion that the only
thing he would have would be manu-
facture and sale of liquor by State
governments in such States as wish TO
do so. DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler
makes his proposed substitute explicit:
Success Of Quebec.
personally I would urge by every
power that I possess the adaptation TO
our needs of the Quebec liquor law, for
from what have personally seen OF its
workings / am convinced that 1t Is the
most successful method yet devised OF
getting rid OF the saloon and abolishing
the private trafac in intoxicating liquor
without 6epriving the individual citizen
of his civil and political liberties Where
the United States has so dismally failed,
Quebec has triumphantly succeeded"
Similarly ex-Gov. Alfred E Smith,
when he was the Democratic candidate
for the presidency two years ago, made
it plain tina twhat he had in mind was
the same that Mr.. Iuttle ana LIT. butEer
have in mind, namely, manufacture and
sale OF liquor by the State government as
q State function in such States as wish
to do so. Gov Smiths words were:
II personally believe in az amend
ment which would give TO
each individual State. after approval by
a referendum popular vote of its people,
the right wholly within its borders 70
import, manufacture or sell
alcoholic beverages the sale 70 be made
only by the State itself"
When one brings these statements to-
gether, the aggregate effect Is pretty
convincing. Apparently the thing in the
minds Of the most distinguished wet
leaders, as an alternative to the present
system, is State manufacture and sale
"only by the State ITSELF" in such
States as wish so to do.
From what has been said It would
appear that the alternatives before US
assuming the wet movement grows to
the extent of forcing some k'nd of ma
tional referendum or other national
choice of alternatives-are. first, the
present system: and second, a system
under which any State that chooses tc
do so may, as q State function. manu-
facture and sell liquor.
In saying that this latter Is the alter

native likely TO be set UP against the
present status of prohibition, it should
be added that not all the wet leaders in
the country phrase their proposals this
way. All that can be said and all that
Is meant to be said here is that the ut
terances Of six out OF the eight most
outstanding wet leaders point, some by
inference and some in direct words, to-
ward the Quebec system as the thing
they have in mind. toward system in
which such States as choose to do so
may set up a State government fllnc-
ton of making and selling liquor under
or:2". 1r.ate regulations.
Nations Two Alternatives.
Is this correct? Is the present arti-
Gle correct in inferring-the article rests
on inference In part-that State manu-
facture and sale, by such States as
choose to do so, Is the proposal that is
going TO emerge as the net of wet
thought and wet activity, as the alterna-
tive to the present system? Is this
surely what the leaders quoted above
have in mind? Would other wet lead
ers assent to taking this as the COM
mon objective of all the vets?
Certainly it would seem adyanta-
geous for the country to have two clear
alternatives plainly before it. One of
tiic dlCeIIldCiNeS WOulO De, OF course, the
present status. The other would be, APP
parently, the system of State monopoly
that one deduces from the wet leaders
quoted above.
Some wet leaders, while they have
made important and definite announce
ments Of their positions, have not said
| exactly what they propose to substitute
for the present status. Two out of the
eight authoritative sources of wet
thought quoted above, Dwight Morrow
and Gov. Richie of Maryland, do not
present any alternative. They merely
say, in effect, that the present system
is unsound in principle; that we should
merely repeal the eighteenth amend
ment and that thereafter each State
should be free to do as 1t likes within
its own borders, some States without
doubt remaining prohibition as they
now are, some others, perhaps, having
the system of State manufacture and
| sale as a State function, and some, per-
haps, going back to the system of
licensing private manufacture and sale,
| including saloons.
II these are the two alternatives
the present status or. on the other
hand, State nonopoly-it would be USE
less to have them squarely posed In the
referenduns about to take place. In

five States next month, including the
large States of Massachusetts, and ILL
nois, referendums are to be held. But
the questions that will appear on the
ballots do not offer any such clear
choice as Is here outlined. Most Of the
referendums, both past and coming, are
on the question of abolishing what is

from Tokyo.
The operation, performed by
physicians at the Imperial Univer-

Premier Hamaguchi was shot; by
