the disposition that will be made Of 1t
Is not likely to be affected in any way
by the personnel of the American repre-.
sentation at The Hague" predicts this
paper. AS to that, remarks the Seattle
Daily Times, whether We go in or re-
main out, Mr.. Kellogg will lend strength
and dignity to the tribunal"
The Detroit Free Press, which Is Of
the opinion that Mr.. Kellogg's election
will create no great amount Of excite
ment in this country" still considers
that "thoss Americans who believe that
the United States should enter this in.
ternational tribunal without first maxi
ing absolutely sure that its interests
are protected are likely to regard Mr..
Kellogg's selection as the American
member of the World Court as break
in their favor" errfe
The Chicago Daily News prophesies
that entrance by this Nation into the
World Court presumably is q question
Of time only, and probably q short
time" The Hartford Daily Courant,
noting the "close relationship between
the pact which outlaws war among ma
tions and the Court, which provides
means for the peaceful settlement Of In
ternational disputes" says, so desir-
able would be the participation of the
United States in the activities that Il
is greatly to be hoped that It's adher-
ents to the protocol will not be longer
delayed, either by factious opposition
at home or by suspicious forces abroad"
The Rock Island Argus thinks 'he may
live to see his country fully recognize
that Court"
Citing the fact that "the Court viii
convene in special session on october
20 to consider an issue between France
and Switzerland regarding frontier
customs zones" the San Antonio Ex-
press is gratified that mr.. Kellogg
probably will sit with the Court for this
special session"
Many papers see hope for further
achievement in work for world peace
by Mr.. Kellogg AS the Kalamazoo Ga
zette says, lin choosing Mr.. Kellogg for
this high honor the League electors
have no doubt given due consideration
to the mans sincere interest in the
cause of world peace, as we'll as to his
Raleigh News and Observer states, AT
heart, Mr.. Kellogg wishes world peace,
and he has the opportunity now to
show that he will fight for it,
1T may be supposed" remarks the
Milwaukee Journal, that Mr.. Kellogg's
election is because of his activities for
international peace. Several OF
the candidates proposed for the place
would presumably have been stronger
figures on the international bench.
America will therefore accept the nomi-
nation with mingled feelings At the
same time, it will wish Mr. Kellogg a
rich experience at The Hague. Service
on the World Court did much even for
Mr. Hughes, whose career was much
more varied than Mr.. Kellogg's at the
time of appointment"

Lunch Room Red Tape.

One would think that the provision Of
lunch room facilities, under the pc
culiar circumstances attending this
case, would be as important to the
Governments work of computing the
census returns as the provision of
desks, typewriters. carbon paper and
pencils. But Controller General McCarl
thinks different" Therefore the CEN
sus workers must stand or sit on the
curb and buy prepared lunches from
wagons or roll their own lunches at
home and devour them during the noon
hour at their desks. The plan of CEN
sus officials to use some extra money
appropriated for contingent expenses"
and miscellaneous supplies and to con-
struct, from secondhand lumber, a
temporary lunch room has been vetoed
by the controller general on the ground
that there is no general responsibility
on the Government to provide lunch
room facilities for its employees, and
there is no general connection between
the work of taking the census and the
construction Of a lunch room to be used
by such employees engaged in such
work.
AS usual, the controller general is
right. for all that is required of him
In making his decisions is to stick to
the letter of the law. If Congress had
anticipated the existing situation, where
the census employees are left without
convenient lunch room facilities, it
could, and probably would, have in
serted sentence permitting the provi-
sion Of such facilities. But neither
Congress nor anybody else thought Of
it in time. and the employees must suffer
thereby. When snow flies or rain falls,
the census workers will be worse off
than they are now.
BY denying the general response
bility" of the Government to provide
lunch room facilities, the controller
general naturally means that there is
no general rule requiring the Govern
ment to provide lunch room facilities.
Is there any general responsibility
on the part of the Government COM
polling it to provide adequate heat and
light? If such things were inadvert-
entity omitted from an appropriation
bill. would they be denied by the con-
troller general? And If they were,
would not this make the eficient adj
rninistration of Government rather ri-
diculous and constitute an admission
on the part Of the Government that red
tape has replaced common sense? 1t
undoubtedly would, and in the case of
lunch room facilities fer the census
workers such a conclusion is inevitable.
The dispute between the Census Bureau
and the controller general places rich
and powerful Uncle Sam in a rather
silly, not to mention helpless, position.

King George
Strengthens Monarchy.
The Daily Herald, London.-The
weird metaphysics of the British crown
are not easily appreciated, save by its
subjects. A King who reigns, but does
not govern; who has influence, but not
power; who has prestige, but no au-
thority-this is position extraordl-
narily delicate to handle in success
full way. No one who examines the
record of George v can doubt that he
emerges with distinction from the test.
He followed an extraordinarily popular
monarch.
It cannot be said that he had made
any decisive impact upon the public
mind when he assembled the throne.
Yet 1t would be merely the truth TO
say that the monarchy Is even more
strongly enthroned In public esteem
than when he succeeded to it. He has
been Woodworking, patient and self
effacing in a task that is necessarily
dull and calls for qualities of extraordi-
nary tact and restraint.
The 20 years of George VS. reign
have been the most eventful of modern
history When he came to the throne,
monarchy was the rule, republicanism
the exception, in Europe. Today, as the
result of the war, the reverse is the
case. Russia. Austria. Germany and
Greece have become republics, and the
monarchy of Spain. after an evil die
tatorship, totters on its foundations.
while that of Italy is hardly more than
q shadow.
1t says much for our Kings discre-
ton that all these mighty changes
abroad have not created any serious
movement toward republicanism in
Great Britain, although he has shown
a recognition that the basis of power
in England has changed. for which
tactful perception no praise can be too
