This is the idea of Senator Walsh of Montana and
others. 1t is not 1t has been used by the SEN
ate for many decades to destroy arbitration treaties
Obviously, the sole purpose and gain from any in
ternational treaty is that the signaory nations COM
nit themselves to something in advance to something
that will reguarze relations and preserve peace To
give the senate power to pass upon the merits of each
dispute it arises, in the heat Of nationalstic feel
ing and partisan pressure, would almost invariably
prevent any arbitration.
The third proposed amendment, offersd by Swan
son. is the worst 1t provides that obligatory arbitra
ton shall not apply to treaties and conventions
antedating the ratification of the said treaty to
acts occurrences or situations which had their origin
prior to such ratification" Since all situations
which arise in the future, have had their origin
prior to 1880 be so interpreted the United
States could this reservation to prevent arbitra-
ton of any dispute, anywhere, any time.
1t not only would protect us from embarrassment
in habit of violating Haitian and Nicaraguan
sovereignty but would let us extend marine rule
all over South America without arbitral check or
hindrance
The United States has the worst arbitration rec
ord of any civilized nation. Our record is especially
bad in this hemisphere because killed the Central
American court when we lost a case
The senate opponents are correct In believing that
Latin Americans do not trust good faith.
But the remedy is not to prove again that are
untrustworthy by making bitter joke of this arbitra
ton treaty signed in good faith by the United States
and nineteen other American republics The remedy
is to ratify that treaty in good faith.

Will W. Welsh Again?

While all eyes are op the London naval conference,
20 far as international airs concerned, an issue
Ia being decided, without publicity, in Washington
which may be even a greater test of American good
faith than naval reduction
That issue is ratification of the Pan-American
arbitration treaty. After years delay the treaty is
not even out of the foreign relations committee There
efforts are being made make it worthless by the IA
ilisr device of multiplying amendments and reserva-
tons
The heart of the treaty is its compulsory feature
Reservations proposed by group of diehards. led by
Senator Swanson of Virginia, are of three kinds:
One reservation would change the arbitration
of five justices to give it non-Pan-American char
acter The opposition senators not willing that
four Iatin-Americans sit with citizen of the
United States They want to cut down the number of
Lstin-A American judges by bringing in European
judges
They don't trust the Latin Americans, which is
rather a strange attitude with which to approach the
problem of peaceful relations with our neghbors to
say nothing of the special insult to Americans
involved in such an amendment.
And what an absurd light such amendment
would throw on the Monroe doctrine, which the same
senators so often try to the selfish aggrandize
ment Of the United StateSl The theory of the Mon
roe doctrine Is the protection of the western hemi-
sphere against the European wiles of earlier day
The new theory of the senate treaty opponents
seems to be that the poor little United States must
rely upon Europeans protect against threatened
iniustices from the Latin-American countries Merely
TO state such an absurd proposition is sufficient

president HOOVER is entitled to the thanks of
the country for declining special dispensation
by the Virginia legislature which would entitle him

Einstein, the noted scientist advises the youth of
today how to choose career.
The best general advice that can be given In this
matter is for youth to think it over deliberately then
select a business and stay with it,
Most OF us go through life blown from one thing

There's nothing dishonest about this but we

Cuba is now letting French champagne come In

Certainly We have done duty toward that little

The high tide of impudence has been reached by
Chicago politicians, who after draining the city treas
ury object to the desires of the citizens to supervise
the expenditure of the emergency fund which they
have raised to pull Chicago through her financial
crisis
Chicago should profit from her own agony and
Clncnnati's great improvement under city manager,
and adopt that form of government.
THAT was pathetic note sounded by Marion
l. Simatri, World war hero of Boston, who after
tramping the streets for days vainly seeking en-
ployment offered to trade his distinguished service
cross for something to eat
This country owes its heroes chance to make a
living, but thousands of them have learned that graft
tude ended with the war.
Attorney-Genera Mitchell is eternaly right in

Not That Way

TINE assassin who thinks he can
l. revolutionize society with a gun,
the citizen of republic who thinks
his country is safe because he has
the right to vote, and the states
man who thinks he can bring about
universal peace by negotiating a
treaty, are the victims of Supersti-,
ton.
Things, especially big things. sim
ply are not done that way.
First, it is necessary to create the
right kind of an attitude, not on the
part of few individuals, but Of
the public as a whole.
The kind of governments In
which we believe, the kind of re-
forms we would like to see, the
opinions we entertain with regard
to morality. economics and interna-
tional relations, are measurably the
product of age-old instruction.
The present-day world was made
not only in the homes, school rooms
and churches of a hundred genera
tons, but on street corners, at the
back of neighborhood groceries and
everywhere else that people gath
cred for discussion.
What is more important, the fu-
ture world will be made the same
way.

On Their Heads

0NE can not help recalling how
" nonchalantly the people of
Chicago elected Big Bill Thompson,
because they found his ribald
speeches and particularly his cage
of white rats amusing, or what q
great hit he made with them when
he started out to "Americanize" the
schools.
Neither can one escape the con-
clusion that if they had paid little
more attention to the business end
of politics, and little less to the
nonsense, they would be better off
today.
What a hilarious time they had
reading those school histories with
an eye to 'pro-British propaganda, -
and ouSting an efficient superin-
tendent for no reason in the world,
except rotten politics.
Now they're paying the fiddler,
and they have no one to thank for
the privilege but themselves.
Democracy is wonderful insti-
tuition, provided people stay with
it. Otherwise, it is no better than
the worst form of government.
What does the right to vote
amount to, unless it is exercised
intelligently, or the right of free
speech?
The trouble with most of us is
that we put too much faith in sys-
tenn, but no system ever was in
vented, or ever will be, that works
without continuous effort,
