A Real Step Toward Peace.
cosmos.
(New York Herald -Tribune0

The reported naval understanding between France and Italy transforms the London naval treaty from pious hope into a monmentous fact. As long as France and Italy refused to agree to any naval limitation, the way was left open for competitive naval building the part of all the naval powers. With France and Italy of the reservation" the London pact merely abated naval building It will set definite limit for the coming five years.
 Although naval and military establishments are more a symptom than a cause of world unrest the cessation of competition will promote peaceful state of mind in world which stands sorely in need of it. This applies to every nation, but 1t is especially true of Europe where the friction be- tween France and Italy has poisoned the atmos- phere for more than year. An adjustment of naval differences between these two countries should serve as very tangible encouragement to the set clement of other disputes
 It is also true that this settlement will at least remove of the many possible sources Of dis agreement inherent in the world disarmament con- Franco-Ita relations may not make success of this conference, but it is certain that hostile feelings between these two powers would have made anything approaching concrete achievement quite impossible Moreover five-power naval settle ment lasting for five is likely to make another naval conference in 1886 an more successful affair.
 The benefits to the United States are not only general but special Congress has neglected to take the simple and inexpensive steps toibring the United States Navy up to the treaty allotment. If France and Italy had started a relentless building race, naval ratios would have been increased all around. except the United States would have brought them selves to the higher limit. American naval infer iority would thus have been greater than 1t is today

THAT LEGISLATIVE INQUIRY.

There is nothing in the Foster resolution provld- ing for a legislative inquiry into the conduct Of Territorial offices which is calculated to cause alarm to any officer of the local Government or any Alaskan There is no reason why such an -nves7 tig3tion should not be made and every reason for it.
 Unquesaonably laws particularly those creat- ing administrative offices and prescribing their duties are conflicting. The local governmental structure has been of rather haphazard growth It has been erected by piecemeal First the Legislature created the Treasury Department This was followed by that of Attorney General Commissioner of such as Highway Engineer, the Commissioner Of Transportation for administering the Prospectors Aid Act Such institutions as the Pioneers Home and the Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines No co-ordinated study has ever been made of the system unit.
 Such a body as MT. Foster has suggested in the legislative committee of eight should be able to render valiant service to the public in impartial examination of all the statutes affecting these sev- eral departments. It should, however be a fact finding probe and not one that seeks to discover proofs of preconceived ideas to foster personal or political grievances. We are sure that it will be just that kind of an inquiry. And such it should receive the very fullest cooperation of all depart ment heads to the end that any existing friction in the Governments machinery may be eliminated and efficiency in administration promoted to the highest possible points A. sa & A- $.s1 fR

1928 Senator Thomas J. Walsh, Montana, would satisfy the Dry-public ownership Democrats and Senator J. T. Robinson, would please the Dry private ownership group.
 MT. Sullivan predicts the nomination of MT. Hoover for second term. That means a Dry platform and declaration for private power owner ship The public ownership group will start boom for third party and the Vets, if not content with the G. O. P choice will gravitate to the Democrats which he says, in all probability will nominate a Wet for the Presidency He predicts that Gov. Roosevelt will have majority of votes but lacking of the necessary and sometimes fatal two-thrds. If the struggle becomes too prolonged, a stampede for Gov. Smith may eventuate. This would offend some of the Democratic Drys, who, joining with the disgruntled public ownership Republicans would unite behind third party candidate and Sullivan picks Gov. Pinchot in the role of leader He would undoubtedly attract Dry Republicans who are op- posed to private ownership of power, and at the same time appeal to public ownership Democrats who are opposed to any modification of the Pro- hbition status If such combination should be brought about, MT Sullivan admits that it would
 njure the Republicans to far greater degree than
 t would the Democrats.

LONG LIVE THE LAME DUCKS!

When the National House of Representatives re- gently passed the Norris Resolution for a Consti- tutona Amendment changing the dates for con vening sessions of Congress, termed the Lame Duck resolution it was greeted widely as marking the end of Congressional lame ducks" But the rejoicing premature. Because the House amend ed the resolution in a manner which it's author considered objectionable and conferees from the two branches unable to reach agreement the differences.
 The real cause of non-agreement was in an amendment sponsored by Speaker Longworth of the House It would have limited the short session of Congress every second year to a maximum sit ting of four months. Under the Norris version, every second year Congress would meet on January 4. at which time members elected in the preceding November election would take their seats instead of waiting until the succeeding December is now done The House adopted amendment by MT. Longworth making it mandatory for adjournment of this session to be had by May 4. MT. Norris was adamant in his opposition to this provision from which the House declined to recede
 While the amendment is desirable and even tualy will be made serious disaster has befaen the nation under the existing procedure. We have become accustomed to lame ducks" and this pro- longation of their tenure regretable it is, isn't necessarily fatal calamity.

PINCHOT AS THIRD PARTY LEADER.

Mark Sullivan, veteran political reporter and now the chief political writer for the New York Herald-Tribune regarded generally the Hoover Administrations mouthpiece, looking ahead to 1882 sees a possibility that Gov Clifford Pinchot will head Third Party movement and be it's Presiden- tial candidate The political organization which he discovers looming the horizon will be dry and for Government ownership and operation of power. Prohibition and power he is positive, will be the pouar issues in the next national cam paign
 As he views the situation there are six angles complicating the countrys politics Within each of the two big parties four groups-Dry and private ownership of power Wet and private ownership, Dry and public ownership, Wet and public ownership. As these divisions common to both Democrats and Republicans there are actually eight groups. Each has it's Presidential fayorite and some of them, disappointed in the final selections will bolt the regular organizations if any strong leader is available that is acceptable to them.
 The Dry-private ownership Republicans will of course turn to President Hoover and his lomna- tion by the Republican Party is regarded by MT Sullivan a foregone conclusion. Wet-priVate ownership Republicans favor Senator Dwight Morrow of New York who is not expected to permit his name to be used. Wet-public ownership Republicans would be satisfied with Senator La Toilette
 Owen D. Young would meet the requirements of the Wet-private ownership Democrats; Wet-public ownership Democrats have at least two champions E, Smith, his predecessor and party nominee n

Empty Quarters"
(NeW York Times.


 score Of years ago the anonymous author Of
 The Great Analysis" wrote that now there is no more unknown this side of the moon and that we neither exposed to incursions from the unknown nor tempted to make excursions into it.. But while it is true that there not then any quarter of the earth in which human beings might be in hiding from the rest of mankind, it was not certainly known till this last week that there not still few nomads shut away by the circle of sand which fences the heart of the Arabian Desert. MT. Bertram Thomas's already famed expedition has found it abode of emptiness whose sands still sing the recessional of phantom caravans and the requiem buried cities.
 MT Russell Owens article in the science sec tion of The Times today shows that there are still unknown this side of the moon. We are Ito be sure, not exposed to incursons from any of them upon the known. But the Great Analyst will not let the mind of be free of temptation to make excursions into these dark spots till every mile has been brought within the geographer's atlas The mystery of the minds desire shows in this an abiding faith that the Desert will of the Fountain yield glimpse" The unknown will continue to beckon the explorer, it has beckoned the latest of these men of the verges, Bertram Thomas, till there is empty quarter in the boundless

The American Beauty Rose.
(Omaha World -Herald,)


 If we are to get rich by taking in each others washing. then everybody should be- furnished with washing to do Or if we are all to lift ourselves by boostraps, then everybody should be provided with boots with straps them
 Because this line of reasoning is sound the farmers have the temerity to try to horn into the picture The trouble is that while they entitled to get into it they can't. The higher the Repub- lcan Party raises tariffs to protect them and the more millions it spends their Farm Board, the lower their prices sink And if the time should come when the Republican magic really began 10 work then the cry the Brooklyn Eagle now raises would resound through the industrial centers to demand that Government take the farmers stran- gling hands from the consumers throatS
 The answer is, obviously, that special privileges for everybody amounts to special privileges for mo- body. Under the rule of privilege oppressed and pifered class is needed to feed a favored and pilfering class The farmers have been assigned to the former role along with majority of the rest of the people while the latter is the lot of the Melons and their retainers. whole lot of buds must be sacrificed to create an American beauty rose.
