William Howard Taft, ex-presi-
", W Of the United States, and
S GEM 81 pensioner, ended a Long
Ca lI;a career Monday when he re-
Puu sod as chief justice of the SUI
sls,,e court, leaving q vacancy
prem prem was Immediately filled by
S WELL Evans Hughes, one of
I In most reactiODary and clever
Ine I defenders Of imperialism in
I lsE@- country. Taft was a depend
. uo DrOp of American capital
sUe There was nothing brilliant
l Dhont his work, but he always
S sO right. He usually wore a
VIZ, O"iaI countenance but there was
sotbing genial about the way he
,Srow the hooks into labor when
ever he got a chance.

The naval conference is stiB
.n1zling along. Whatever hopes
FORE entertained for it at the be
inning there are none now. Even
,bs correspondents have cast of
,Ssir usual robes of naivete and
.rs appearing in the raiment OK
4S;cism The big battle is be-
tween England and the United
states and the diplomatic cannon
aape of the statesmen cannot
hide it. If the delegates had any
Intention of reducing ornaments
their task would have been COM
naratively easy. But they have
No such intention. AS we repeat
pdly stated, the naval reduction
conference means another step
towards war.

There is a lot of fuss being
made in the Paris press over the
disappearance of a CZarist gen.
eral in the French capital. 1t ap-
uears that the war Lord left his
hotel to visit his militry head
quarters and neither reached his
alleged destination or returned to
his burrOw. Now the Czarist press
and the French reactiOnaries are
accusing the Soviet ambassador
Of kidnapping him.
!!!!I!!
The incident brings to light
the rather strange fact that Par
is is the headquarters of "a mill
tary organization which is pre-
pairing an attack against the Sow
let Union, obviously with the
support of the French govern
ment. Numerous Czarist generals
and officers are preparing open
" to intervene against a govern
ment with which the French are
on friendly terms. In view of the
noise made about the alleged in
reference of the Soviet govern
ment in the internal affairs of
other countries, it seems incOnsis-
tent on the part of the French
government, to permit those war
like activities against "a friendly
power to be carried on in Paris.

Representative Fort of New
Jersey, said to be a close friend
Of President Hoover, delivered a
speech in the house last week in
which he stated that it was per-
fectly legal 10 manufacture and
consume beer and whiskey in the
home. Whether it is or not the
government might as well make
. virtue out of necessity. In old
England every mans home was
supposed to be his castle. Since
the advent Of prohibition every
Americans home is suspected of
beng his brewery. Support home
industry! Down with thirst!

The following comment on tn,
