silly idea that jobs can be provided for
the unemployed by the turn Of the hand
Of the official occupant of the White
House seems to pervade their minds.
They are chemically disposed to de-
nounce. Dissatisfaction is their normal
state. SO they blame the Government,
the form Of Government. the general
social system and with muddled think
ing strike out for changes which they
know in their hearts they cannot effect,
and from the consequences of which, If
effected, they would be quick to shrink
in protest.
Would it not be a good idea to let
these May day meanderers have their
little parade but keep them going
around and around the block, and make
them continue long enough to give the
public a chance to see them in all their
absurdity of silly slogans and small
numbers2 If the martyrdom Of ar
rest is what they want, deny 1t to them.
They would be bitterly disappointed If
they were allowed to parade unmolested
as public spectacle.

The Ohio State journal misses the
point II 1t can find no other reason for
the Chicago Tribune's championship Of
the idea of moving the National Capital
to the Windy City than that the
worlds greatest newspaper" wants to
publish within earshot of the Senate.
The State Journal is Mortified at the
very suggestion that city which can't
manage It's own affairs should aspire to
becoming the Capital Of this great and
respectable country.
We take more generous view Of the
proposal. A city can become so hope
lessly involved in difficulties that the
only way out seems to be for self
government to abdicate and for an ex-
terna1 authority to be called in to
clean It up. The few righteous men
still to be found In our American Sodom
may have concluded that salvation for
their city lies only in erecting 1t into
q Federal district, administered by a
commission appointed by a sentiment
tally remote Congress. Washington Is
about to be made moral until 1t bursts.

ing down Michigan avenue at the heels

country that is having q hard time
taking care Of its morals and finances
We are willing to 90 the Tribune one

as they admit that they cannot man

The Three-Power Treaty.


Well intentioned and fervent friends
Of national defense may be able to
pick flaws in the impending three-power
treaty, but the news that at length
comes out of London will crafty the
overwhelming bulk Of the American
people.
A tripartite pact is not what the
United States preferred. A treaty
pledging France and italy to limitation
and reduction, as well as this country,
Great Britain and Japan. was the great
desideratum. It proved unobtainable.
It is the business of craftsmanship, as
well as the part OF common sense. to
take what it can get. The maximum
has been secured from the London
Naval Conference. With that Ameri-
cans are ready to rest content. They
are persuaded that our spokesman, be-
ing mere humans, could not work mira
cles In the face Of insurmountable i'm
ponderables.
Incomplete as a triple naval under
standing is, nothing could be more
shortsighted than to minimize its i'm
portance. It Is primarily a concrete
and constructive achievement In the
feld of international peace. It fixes
the strength Of the worlds three most
powerful fleets for period of six years.
BY doing so, the American British
Japanese agreement abolishes, between
~ PnYf1nefi-
ton in naval building which in the
past has sown the seeds of bitter sus-
picion and mistrust.
The American demand for combat
parity with Great Britain Is effectively
gratined. The tonnage Of the Japanese
navy Is limited at figures which our
experts believe to guarantee the United
States q perfectly safe margin Of SUI
periority. In 10,ooo-ton cruisers, Amer
lea required forty per cent Japanese In
feriority Provisions to that effect will
be written into the three-power pact.
Uncle Sam will have s<<s:zseen heavy
cruisers to Jar:aS ten-the 10-6 ratio
upon which he resolutely insisted.
It Is sincerely to be hoped that the
United States Senate, in the exercise OF
its right to review before 1t ratif1es q
treaty, viii not, while scrutinizing the
naval trees, fail to see the naval forest
In particular will it be eminently desir-
able for the Senate not to ignore the
cleaning fact that ct last, after the
eight controversial Washington
conference years-after the CHASTITY
flasco at Geneva In 1927-au classes of
ships in the three strongest navies are
now subjected to definite limitation
owe? fixed term.
That Is an immense advance. It is
S"t the millennium. It Is not all that
an armament-burdened universe Graves.
But it Is much. It is inconceivable that
any legislative action at Washington
should ensue which would undermine
the work thus SO laboriously accom-
plished. It's architects claim no more
for 1t than that they have laid a sub
stantial foundation for the greater
house the world hopes some day to
build. That world, war-minded almost
since the dawn of time, cannot be ex-
pected to "refurnish It's mind" In weeks
or months, or even In a short span of
years. It Is q process Of evolution,
which calls for patience, for forbear-
ance, and, above all, for clear thinking
seasoned with confidence.

The Navy and Fast Planes.

X David S. ingalls,, Assistant Secre-
tary of the Navy for Aeronautics, is
correct in his statement that compe-
tition in the Schneider Cup races and
the racing program Of the Navy were
abandoned for reasons of economy" 1t
puts an entirely new light on a situation
which has caused no end of discussion
in the United States. When in 1925
the Navy formally withdrew from
speed competition with other nations
the impression was left IN the public
mind that the question Of speed was
held by the Navy to be unimportant
and that, inasmuch as 1t was unim-
portant, the Navy was perfectly content
to permit Italy, France and England
to outstrip it in the development OF
speedy aircraft. To great number of
Americans this position was not held
In high esteem.
Now, Secretary ingalls, explains that
the racing program was abandoned be-
cause the Navy did not have enough
money to carry on experimentation and
that appropriations for development OF
aircraft had been consistently cut down
by the Budget Bureau. And not only
does the Secretary thus put the issue
squarely up TO Congress, but states that
even now the Navy Is conducting an In
vestigation as to the feasibility OF re.
Stunning speed development with the
small amount Of appropriations avail.

The MAY DaY Menace.

According to a news report printed

raunist party is planning a May day
demonstration in this city, the details
Of which are "shrouded in secrecy"

members Of the party win assemble at

banners denouncing unemployment and
the persecution Of the party's
workers.

It is probable that precautions can be
taken against this highly dangerous
move, this assault upon the citadel Of
Government. Notice can be sent in
season to the managers Of the affair
that they must secure q permit for a
public street meeting and for a parade,
failing which they will be subject to

TO demonstrate in the manner de-
scrihed. Strong forces of police and
soldiery can be massed in readiness

program persist. It is quite likely that
the Government can be saved from
