PACT HOLDS UP
NAVAL CONTRACTS
Construction viii Be Delayed
Until Senate Has Acted
on Treaty.

No contracts will be let for naval
construction authorized by Congress
until the Senate has acted on the Lon
don naval treaty, Secretary of the Navy
Adams announced yesterday. Affected
by this order are two 1O,Oo0-ton cruis-
ers, three submarines and q new air.
craft carrier.
Under the present congressional au-
thorization the second flve of the Is
cruiser program should be contracted
for and laid down within the present
fiscal year, but under the London
treaty this group would be distributed
so that only two would be undertaken
this year.
The treaty does away entirely with
the third five, which would have been
contracted for next year. Congress pro-
vided that each alternative cruiser be
built in a private yarc, so under treaty
terms only one would be given to a
private contractor this year.

CH|CAGO'S WATER
CASE IS STUDIED
Hughes Report Is Before Su-
preme Court, With Chief
Justice Not Sitting.

The report of Charles Evans Hughes
90 special master in the long-standing
controversy between the Great Lakes
States and the Chicago sanitary dis
trict again became a matter Of conten-
ton before the United States Supreme
Court today rs arguments on 1t were
resumed
Chief Justice Hughes. in view of his
participation in the case, is not taking
any part in the action of the court and
did not sit when John w. Davis, APP
pearing for the sanitary district and the
State of Illinois, opened the argument
yesterday.
The Hughes report presented a plan
for carrying out the decision rendered
by the Supreme Court in January, 1929,
ordering that the present diversion of
water be decreased as rapidly as pos
Mble. It was expected that the Ave
hours set for argument would be COM
pleted today.
Davis Reviews Decision.
Mr. Davis reviewed the court decision
and what it wanted to accomplish in
It's final decree. He emphasized that
the court had found that the Secretary
Of War had authority to authorize d.
version for navigation purposes and in
sisted that navigation would require
constant diversion.
After explaining to the court what
was being done by Chicago to provide
sewage disposal plants, he contended
that diversion was necessary to protect
the harbor and aid navigation.
Ridicules Sewer Proposal.
Davis ridiculed the suggestions Of the
Great Lakes States that a system of
sanitary sewers to parallel the sewage
disposal system should be constructed
10 take care of the storm waters.
Controlling works in the Chicago
River, he commended, would prevent the
storm waters from polluting the harbor,
and controlling works on the Detroit
and other rivers on the lakes would
maintain lake levels with diversion ct
Chicago.

(" There is great deal of patient brav-

A man tainted in factory the other

But his story is little more pathetic
than the usual tales. Someone looked
into the mans pail to see what he had
brought for lunch. Instead of the ex-
pected-or maybe not eXpected-thick
meat sandwiches, fruit, eggs and coffee,
the searcher found the skins of the po-
tatoes which the mans children had eat
en- for supper the night before.
He had gone without food quite cheer
fully until his strength gave way He
had too much pride If man had a
family it was his duty to support that
family, he reasoned.
The other employees in this mans de-
partment Immediately took collection
and bought food for him and his family.
In most instances it was a case of shar-
ing, not giving, for they. too, were count
ing calories. To share is infinitely more
blessed than to give, we have been told.
but it likewise is harder strain.
Human nature is very kind at bottom
and most people are willing to help those
in trouble when the cases are called to
their attention.
However, a great many people have
too much pride to let anyone witness
their little tragedies unless the curtain
inadvertently swings open, as it did in
the factory story.
That is why an impersonal machine
which will render assistance without low
ering a man or woman's self-respect is
splendid agency through which help
may be given to those who have earned
the right to appeal, by carrying on when

VICTORY FOR LIBERTY

The United States Circuit Court of
Appeals has decided that two applicants
for citizenship cannot be barred because
they have conscientious objections to
fighting for their adopted country in the
event of war. In this decision the appel
late court over-rules the lower courts and
sets new precedent that probably will
be applied in future cases.
The two people involved in this de-
cision are DR.. Douglas Clyde Macintosh
of Yale University and Miss Marie Av-
erll Bland, former nurse in the World
War In upholding their right to become
citizens, the court ruled:
There is distinction between moral
ly justifiable and unjustifiable wars rec
ognized in international law
THE rights of conscience are inalien-
able rights which the citizen need not
surrender and which the government or
society cannot take away"
That statement needs to be remember
ed. 1t Is a pronOuncement which. we
believe, the nation will come more and
more to accept. 1t rests on a solid found
alton dating back to the organization of
our government, and if it provides
loophole for pacifists that cannot be
helped.
iie iuiIISS Ol lHe lower courts IN
these two particular cases never did look
like very profound reasoning. In the case
Of DR.. Macintosh the decision was rather
far-fetched. Here was professor of di
vinity who would hardly be called on to
serve in any war Surely the country
could make such man a citizen with
out worrying whether he would rush to
enlist if war came
In the case of Miss Bland the lower
courts ruling was even more peculiar.
We have never yet called on women to
serve in our army; besides, Miss Bland
insisted that in case Of war she would
willingly serve as nurse-as she did
in the last war-and go to any part of
the front line where duty might call her.
To reject her simply because she had
conscientious scruples against taking
life was nothing less than absurd.
The appellate court, we believe, has
acted wisely in both of these cases.
