Frances Security Plan.

Frances newest scheme for IAN or
ganization of international security"
was laid before the Steering Commit
tee of the World Disarmament Confer
ence at Geneva yesterday. In present.
ing it, NJ Joseph Paul-Boncour, French
minister for war. made an insistent ap-
peal for American support. The project
makes clear for the frs. time that the
French would mot be content with
mere pledge Of American consultation,
in case of a menace to European peace
consultation declared three months
ago by Secretary Stimson to be i'm
plicit" in the Kellogg BRAND pact. 1t
is desired specifically that the Coop
Grafton of the United States in averting
threatened or suppressing an actual
war should include the abandonment
of the advantages which neutrality
gives
This is tantamount to a proposal
traditional principle of the freedom of
the seas Freedom of the seas, in plain
English. means the right of a neutral
power to trade at will with nations at
war, in so far as this is possible with
out running a blockade by force or de-
family dealing in contraband Of war.
BY and large, it Vas Germany's denial
of the freedom of the seas to the United
States which eventually brought about
American Intervention in the World
War on the side of the allied powers.
For this or any other country to
covenant in advance to renounce its
neutral rights at sea would deprive the
government so agreeing automatically
Of the power of decision as to which
belligerent at war was the aggressor.
Premier Herriot, in discussing the
French security scheme, suggested that
the resolution introduced in the Senate
last April by Senator Capper goes far
toward meeting Frances ideas of Amer
ican support against instigators Of an
aggressive war The resolution pro-
NluCu tiidt lllc Ollltcu OIntcS NOsclh-
ment should impose an arms and eco
nomic embargo on any country which
broke the peace Of the world. But
Senator Capper always envisaged that
Washington alone should decide for
itself who the aggressor might be. The
determination of this is matter that
has been fraught with difficulty since
time immemorial. Every country that
goes to war is bent upon convincing
the rest of the world that it was the
other fellow who began it. Historians
today are at loggerheads as to who the
aggressor in the World War was. When
Mr.. Kellogg was formulating the pact
of Paris, he definitely declined to be
drawn into any hard and fast definition
of what constitutes an aggressor.
American public opinion is certain
to require a good deal Of education
before it will consent to mortgaging
the United States, sights unseen, to
abandonment of the fundamentally
sovereign right to determine exclu-
sively for itself when the power and
prestige of the United States shall be
used for or against any nation that
may frid itself at war.

insult Amid the
Ruins of COrinth
From Chicago Daily News.

From Chicago Daily News.
Meditatively Samuel insult, fallen
ruler Of an industrial empire, strolled
amid the ruins of ancient Corinth.
Strange thoughts must have surged
through the minds Of the voluntary ex-
lie as he looked upon the remnants of
city, which more than 1000 years
ago had been luxuriously magnificent
and thrivingly busy with the trade of Q
dependent world.
Little Greece was then master In the
realm of civilized mankind, The glory
OF culture in all the arts, the glory Of
wealth acquired by the ingenious and
enterprising direction Of 1abor-these
it enjoyed In transcending measure. Its
ships traversed the Mediterranean and
laid tribute on all the coasts Of that
blue sea. In the harbor Of Corinth
they unloaded their treasures. And
now beneath his feet this man, who
rose to envied heights of wealth In q
new world of which the ancient
Greeks never guessed, treads the shat
tered remnants OF long-vanished great
ness. Into the marble fragments of
mart and palace he tramples his own
wrecked dreams and ambitions. He
stands thoughtfully among pillars, stu
beautiful, but supporting no super
structure-mutsly eloquent Of the Inn

Nearing the End.
Prom the Providence Sunday Journal.

from tne fTOVlOeHCe SouAAoA'
The announcement that the United
States Shipping Board has accepted the
bid of the Boston Iron & Metal Co. OF
Baltimore to scrap 124 ships in its con-
troll marks another step in one OF the
most extensive projects ever handled
by any government. The story OF the
creation of the Shipping Board in 1916
and its work of building one OF the
greatest merchant fleets in history dur
ing the World War is we'll known. But
the task Of building this fleet proved
less difficult than that of disposlng OF
it after the war was over.
The impracticability Of Government
ownership and operation Of the bulk OF
our merchant fleet soon became appar-
ent and the program was wisely ADOPT
ed by Congress of transferring the ships
in the hands Of the Shipping Board
to private owners as rapidly as possible
But this program did not prove an easy
one. The cost of constructing these
ships during the period OF inflated war
prices, and the character OF many OF
them made it unavoidable that they
should be sold at a sacrince. More
over. the length of time required Tor
the ships antiquated, and made neces-
sary expenditures on others to keep
them up to date.
Notwithstanding the losses and dif-
fculties involved, the Shipping Board
has carried the program through. On
November 1. 1891, 4 total of 1,S46 ships
Of 1O,409,2 9,266 tons had been sold and
delivered Twenty-three lines with pro-
visions for restricted operations had
been transferred to private owners
Only a total of 381 ships OF 3,222, ,022
tons remained in the hands of the
board on that date The record OF the
number Of ships sold during the pres
ent year has not been published. but it
this number, whatever 1t is, together
With the number that has Just been
scsapped, practically brings this phase

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES Z. TRACEWELL.

Some call open praise, or admiration,
"Applesauce," but It Is more .h1n thai
1t 10 the divine spark which sometimes
results in the flame Of creative genius.
Admiration fans the spark into .
flame
Even II 1t does not achieve this re-
suit, It warns the heart Of the recipient,
and that is something.
TAcit admiration Is the better sort.
No adult person expects another to
stand before him and roar, Gee, you're
Smart!"
All that he asks now and then is the
sincere tribute Of request for infor-
nation.
In q civilization which has placed
such stress on book knowledge 1t Is not
strange that much has been made of
the man who has a store Of what used
to be called book larnin'."
Next to native brain power, combined
with the integrity and courage to use
that power at all times and under all
circumstances, the thinking which one
does in reading good books is the great
est sort of knowledge there is.
The facts and fancies one manages
to make ones own from such reading
constitute, one may believe, the veri-
table arsenal of power of many o hu-
man being who lacks innate brain
power.
There are two sorts Of knowledge
the knowledge of brains and the knowl-
edge of books. Just where one begins
and the other leaves off not even the
wisest man could or would say.
No matter what reverence one may
do the good writing in good books, he
will feel that there is another type Of
knowledge even higher.
This is the knowledge which high
class brain has Of itself-a thing Of
backgrounds, running clear back to the
foundations Of human society, and even
beyond. 1t Is the way strong mind
looks at itself and respects itself. 1t is
the hope Of the world to come, just as
1t has been the hope Of the world past.
This sort Of ability, this special
knowledge, is seldom met. 1t is rare
thing. One may not possess 1t, but
still one may have enough common
sense to recognize it in others. One
may feel q triumphant thrill at this
ability to discover it in others. In
deed. it is a feat Of intelligence in
itself to be able to recognize super
intelligence, the sort which is the
product Of superior mind.
The vast majority of men and women
must make q little book learning" 60
long way.
Their comprehension from the begin
ming has been faulty.
Perhaps conceit has enabled them to
believe they know more than they do.
Even then, if they are honest with
themselves. they will realize that they
know little, after all
The wisdom they do possess is little
wisdom. mostly made up of odds and
ends, of veritable scraps of knowledge.
picked up here and there in the journey
of life.
Their facts and fancies are the fiot-
sam and jetsam, but none the less pre-
cious for that.
To all such persons-and they are, in
truth. most of us-the admiration of
others for this ill-assorted but never
theless precious wisdom is balm to the
soul.
1t does us good to be looked up to as
one who knows something or other.
It pats us on the mental back.
It makes the world look better and
the sun brighter. We may know in our
heart of hearts that we do not deserve
it exactly. but it is sweet, just the same

tators that afironts TO religion may
have something to do with their in
ability to secure the approval they
seek. The Bolsheviks never have been
competent TO understand that such tao
tics are definitely dangerous to their
cause.
However, 1t is good that St. Isaac's
Cathedral has escaped complete de-
struction. For the moment the athe-
lists will have their way with the sacred
fame But SO long as they do not
wreck It utterly there may be reason
to hope that eventually it may be re-

H. G. Wells Scorns
British Labor Party.
Irish Independent. Dublin.-"The La
bour party proved itself nothing more
than spouting mouths, clutching hands
and no brains whatever
This was one OF many vigorous COM
ments INDUCED in by H. G. Wells in a
lecture on Liberalism and the Revolu-
tionary Spirit" at the Liberal Summer
School at oxford.
The Labour party. he declared, is too
ambitious, too self-seeking. too miscel
laneous in origin. too shallow in men
tality. That party In power he described
as hardly better than sentimental
gang. retaining all their private ami
mosities, and with unfurnished minds
and lax principles.
In remarkable passage, Mr.. Wells
is reported to have said:
THE King was so ill-advised as to
depart from his proper political and
social neutrality. and lead the move
ment for cheeseparing and grinding the
faces of the needy in the interests of the
debt collector, and not soul in the
Labour party said what ought to have
been said about the King or that miser-
able campaign of unintelligent economy
which cast its dismal shadow over the
closing months of 1881"
This reference, ID was stated, was re-
ceived without any demonstration. There
was neither cheering nor booing at the
meeting.

One reason that President Hoover
