Enormously headlined as a

Problems OF conservation OF the

We like the sentiment expressed
by Col. Glover as he stood on the
ground which his father before
him had trod while in the uniform

No reason for bitterness to fol-

can have nothing but respect for
the ability OF each other.
And so with nations.

Machine Blamed for Defeat
OF Cleveland City Manager

Youngstown vindicator takes the posi-
ton that sit would be no surprise to
see Cleveland make another change
within few years. The Davenport
Democrat sees "a severe blow to cham
pions of this form Of government, for
Cleveland was the largest city to use
the plan"
at is often said" according to the
Topeka Daily Capital, that in cleo
tons the voters when dissatisfied strike
out blindly, but this does not seem to
be the case in Cleveland's election.
They rebuked the city management
and turned it over, they struck as well
as they could at the machine and
elected HOPKINS to the Council. Out Of
it all their intention to force good gov
eminent Is clear"
Fees Of the plan" remarks tie Roa-
noke Times, claimed that 1t failed, but
the truth is that it was never given a
fair chance to live The story goes
back to 1921, when the plan was
adopted. In the first place, if the city
manager plan is to succeed the Coun-
ell must be made up of men friendly
TO the system and willing to give it
their support. Cleveland voters did not
meet the requirement. They left in
Office councilmen who were avowed
enemies Of the plan, and from the out
set it has had TO fight foes from within
IS well as from without. The best sys-
tenn IN the world could not Withstand
such combination.

M. Laval's Narrow Escape

Less than a month ago Premier
Pierre Laval was sojourning in the
United States as the all-powerful head
OF France and negotiating with Presi-
dent Hoover on issues fundamental to
the peace and welfare of the world.
Yesterday in the French Chamber of
Deputies the Laval government, in a
total vote Of 589, was able to marshal
a majority Of only &c. The cabinet
was supported by 3l1 members and
opposed by 272. 1t is true that a purely
parliamentary question-whether dis
cussion of state railway deficits should
ensue at once orr begin later-was in
volved, yet the closeness of the vet
illustrates the precariouSness Of French
governments.
A change of twenty votes would have
placed M. Laval in q minority. and. in
accordance with French practice, he
would automatically have been called
upon to resign Office. How fortunate
American national administrations are
compared to French governments! i

parliamentary system and President!

of the Russian army was low. That OF
the japanese army was high. In vir-
tually every engagement the Japanese
were successful. Their victory astounded
the world, but in truth was not sur
prising In view of the far superior
quality of the japanese arms, the high
spirit and excellent training of the
men In the field and the heavy hanGi-
cap of distance from base under which
the Russian forces operated.
In the present conditions these ad-
vantages might not be as evident now
in the event OF war as in 1904-5. The
Russian railroad communications are
better, the supply is probably more
efficient and the morale is doubtless
superior to that of the Russian armies
of twenty-seven years ago. Neverthe-
less, a distinct advantage accrues to
Japan in respect to nearness to base, in
unimpeded water communication and
in equipment, in which respect Japan
is far advanced.
Just how far the Soviet government
at Moscow could go in putting large
and effective force In the field in Man
churia is a question which bears upon
the internal conditions Of Russia. De-
spite the seeming solidarity of the Rus
sian people under Soviet rule there is
strong spirit of dissent. Would it be
safe to lift the pressure of military
supervision from the body of the Rus
sian populace, which is not wholly
amenable to Soviet control? The dis
patch of a million armed men across
Asia to fight Japan in the event Of
war between those two countries might
possibly open the way to the revolt
against Soviet tyranny that, despite all
the glowing accounts that have come
from Moscow of q united populace, is
known to be dreaded by the commits
sars at the capital.
In all likelihood, If this situation de-
velops into actual warfare between
Japan and China over the Manchurian
question Russia's participation would
at least in the first stages, be limited
to provision of supplies and perhaps to
cooperative action by comparatively
small forces. The memory OF 1905,
though a new generation constitutes the
great body Of the Russian people and
new dispensation of government
exists, is likely to act as a deterrent
against a direct single-handed conflict
with the Island Kingdom.
