Adjournment Forecasts.

Senator McNary Of Oregon is getting
what in the vernacular Is called the
raspberry for having predicted the
other day that Congress would conclude
its labors by the end m this present
week. Other members of the Senate
are Gliding him for his extreme opti-
mism. Some say that the legislators
will be lucky if they get away by a week
from Saturday. The matter is in their
own hands. If the spirit wills, they can
fulfill Mr.. McNary's forecast, but II
will take some protracted sessions-per-
haps an almost continuous session-for
the remainder of the week.
There are some stubborn obstacles in
the way Of adjournment, contests in
conference over matters that eventually
will be compromised, and the public de-
mand is for their adjustment. But the
congressional habit is not one of expe-
dition. Conferees must go through GER
tain motions to satisfy their consciences
with regard to pride of position. The

enactment of the revenue law; the econ
omy bill, which is a vital factor in the
balancing procedure, remains in con-
ference quod, and the relief bill, the
third item of the economic program,
has yet to pass the Senate and 60
through the conference mill.
The Republican convention is passing
into history, with minimum of wheel
horses" in attendance, owing to the
protraction of the session of Congress
The Democratic convention will meet
a week from Monday. 1t may be that
by dint of extraordinary efforts the ad-
journment can be had, as Acting Speaker
Rainey indicates, IN ten days, thus
releasing the members OF that party
for their own Chicago gathering, which
would thus be enriched by political
talent such as was denied the Repub-
licans in consequence Of the legislative
log jam.

ton at Washington looks upon the debts
owing this country as a closed Incl
dent. Undoubtedly that attitude re-
fleets the national temper as repre-
sented In Congress. 1t is the legislative
and not the executive branch OF the
American Government with which war
debt matters exclusively rest. Europe
can only conclude from the eloquently
evasive tone Of the Republican plat
form on debts that the dominant branch
Of the American electorate Is not in
terested in revisory considerations.
France, the paramount beneficiary
of German reparations, looks across
her eastern frontier and ponders
whether such times and such condi-
lions justify generosity and concilia-
tion toward the traditional foe. Yet
1t Is not likely to be long before Europe,
including France. will have to face the
iron fact that Germany has reached
the end OF her financial tether-either
the capacity or the willingness to pay
and come to conclusions based on
that ineradicable situation.
1t is not a reassuring prospect for
world craving and cropping for a way
out OF its expressing woe.

At Lausanne.

At Lausanne today the long awaited
conference on reparations set forth
upon its arduous task of laying the
foundations of European economic
peace. The United States is not repre-
sented at this meeting of Germany and
her war creditors, yet it is everybody's
secret that its attitude toward any de-
cisions made at Lausanne is paramount
in their deliberations. If any evidence
or this score were needed, it is supplied
by the news that on the eve of the con-
ference the overshadowing topic of dis
cussion was a request that the United
States cancel all war debts. Underlying
that ancient thought, presumably, is g.
purpose to relieve Germany of he-
reparation obligations if her creditors
could be assured in advance that their
own debts to the American Treasury
would be wiped out.
BY coincidence the Republican
party at Chicago adopted its 1882 plat
form on the very day the Lausanne
Conference was scheduled to clear for
action. Because the Republican party
is now in power, and will remain in
power for the better part of the next
year at least, its declared attitude on
foreign affairs is significant. With re-
spect to European expectations con-
corning war debts, it Is the platform S
complete silence that carries its own
message. The failure of the various
planks on international relations even
remotely to hint at reparations or war
debts can only be interpreted as an
indication that the present admiuistra.

The Meanest American,

A man was yesterday sentenced in
the District Supreme Court to a term
Of ten years in the penitentiary, with
five years running consecutively on a
second charge, for having betrayed the
trust of a good woman who from the
purest and most commendable motive
sought to effect the rescue of the Lind
bergh baby from its kidnapers. He had
been convicted of a technical charge
of larceny, having taken 100000 on
the pretense of ability to secure the
person of the stolen child, though he
had no possible means of doing so,
though, in fact, as later developed, the
child was then dead, having been slain
by its kidnapers Immediately after the
crime was committed.
No fouler crime, short of the kid
mapping itself, could have been conceived.
The pretender was not justified in any
degree by the fact that his services
were sought for the praiseworthy en-
terprise. It was in nowise mitigation
of the betrayal Of trust that the taker
of this money was not, as 1t is plain,
himself party to the kidnapping
Whether he knew or was ignorant Of
the fact that the child was dead when
the bargain was made to seek its re-
turn matters nothing in the measure
ment of this crime, Of which he has
been convicted and for which he has
been given the limit Of the law In
penalty.
An attempt is to be made to secure
a reversal Of the case by q higher court.
There should be no prolonged delay in
the settlement Of this question. Public
