good will, of cordial collaboration, and
of open-minded discussion"
"Mr. Davis has made much" accord
ing to the Baltimore Sun, "of the fact
that at Geneva the governments OF the
woruld pledged themselves to the prin-
ciples of a real, strict, substantial
reduction of their armaments and are
agreed that they shall, without further
delay, enter upon active negotiations
materially to implement this principle.
Neither seems at all downhearted over
the fact that the delegates assembled at
Geneva were pledged to this principle
in the first instance and that f1ve
months of continuous endeavor failed
to result in any agreement to imple-
ment it except in the most inconspicu-
Gus fashion" The Yakima Daily Re-
public warns that "it would be well to
remember the naval armament agree
ment: no nation reduced except the
United States" The Springfield (MaSs)
Union offers the comment: "One result
of the long deliberations of the con-
ference may at least be very helpful in
convincing American people that gen.
eral disarmament cannot be accom-
plished by representatives of the United
States merely telling those of European
governments what they should do.
Many have too lightly assumed that, II
an earnest American delegation went
to Geneva and told the other delega-
tions what American men and women
wanted, disarmament would be easily
and quickly brought about. Probably the
American delegates did not go to Ge-
neva with that illusion. If they did, 1t
must have been soon dispelled."

Anxiety at Peiping.

Memories of the Summer of 1900
are revived by news that has come from
Peiping-then known as Peking-that
change has occurred in the military
administration in North China, where
Marshal Chang Hsueh-Liang has re-
signed as commander CT the forces and
his duties have been taken over by a
committee of eighteen. A dispatch
from Shanghai states that although
precautions against disorders at Peiping
have been redoubled feeling of un-
certainty persists as to the ability of
the committee to function properly and
keep the troops paid. The resignation
of Marshal Chang, 1t appears, was ac-
cepted without the customary formality
Of three reflections, indicating rather
eager willingness on the part Of the
Marking authorities that he should pass
out of the picture. Yet henchmen of
Chang are included in the new COM
mission as well as those of Chang
Kai-shck, who is commander in CHIEF
of the Chinese Army.
The possibility Of disorders in Pei
ping is not lightly viewed despite the
fact that the situation Of the foreign
legations there Is much stronger than
thirty-two years ago, when the Boxe,
| rebellion occurred. The legation estab.
lishment was then closely crowded by
native quarters. There was little or
no protection from assault save on the
south, where the great Tartar wa1form-

Military Leave Is
Mandatory by Law
To the Editor of The Star:

AZ INC EultUI VI LIE OtaT.
Has the bottom fallen entirely out
Of patriotism in governmental depart
ments these days?
The national defense act was meant
to overcome the mistakes of 19l7-18,
when some big fellow with pull" could
gallop down to the War and Navy De-
partments and come away with lot
of rank he could not possibly hold
down efficiently. The national de-
fense act was meant to train men in
time of peace and teach them some
thing, to encourage such training and
to do away with the Johnny come
lately lieutenant commanders and
majors "for special duty only" de-
coding messages in competition with a
third-claSs yeomanette.
Under the national defense act men,
bers Of the Officers Reserve Corps, the
National Guard, the Naval Reserve and
Marine Corps Reserve are required to
go to camp. It is mandatory. Not
even the President can forbid a man
his military leave. AS matter of
fact, the men so enlisted can be sent
for and compelled to go to camp. This
latter policy has been taboo with those
in charge Of local National Guard and
Reserve units. but. for the good OF
the Federal employees themselves. who
are subject to service in time of war,
at least encouragement and respect for
the laws of the land is expected.
We now have the spectacle of the
Post Office and other departments 'for-
bidding" employees their military leave,
with Controller General McCarl telling
them they cannot do that under the
law. And from the men enlisted and
willing to go to camp and learn some
thing comes the word, They can't for
bid us to 60, but they can make us
wish we had not gone They can
mark down our efficiency ratings"

salvation Of the besieged internationals
and the many hundreds of refugees who
swarmed there for protection. After
the relief Of the legations by an inter-
national force which made its way
with difficulty from the sea through
Tientsin the legation area was isolated
by sweeping away the debris of the
native settlement and the construction
of stout walls of defense completely
surrounding the legations. Since then
strong guards have been maintained
within the compound, with all facilities
for defense.
On a fragment of the original wall
which encompassed the British legation
in 1900 and which has been preserved
as q memento of the siege-deeply
pitted with bullet marks-has been
painted in large letters Lest We For
get" That quotation from Kipling's
Recessional stands as an explanation of
why the foreign representations were
not moved to Marking when the Chi
nese seat of government was trans
ferred to the Southern city. Thus
Peiping remains the diplomatic capital,
while the administrative center is main
tanned at Marking. Powerful radio
equipment now permits crcedy COM
munication, which in 1900 was i'm
possible.
Should disorders occur with an out
break of anti-foreign animosity, due
either to some spontaneous native
movement or to civil war, it would be
possible to summon assistance immedi-
ately, whereas in 1900 the news of the
plight of the legations was not received
at the various capitals outside of China
until the lines of the Boxer investiture
had been tightly drawn about the be-
leagured internationals.
1t is hardly likely that there will be
any grave disorders in Peiping calcu-
lated to lead to an international move
ment. Yet the possibility is always
present and despite the endeavors Of
Chang Kai-shek, commander in CHIEF
of the Chinese forces and virtual ruler
of China, who desires no complication;
with the powers, the jealousies Of the
Chinese factions remain a factor o.
serious menace. The committee oi
eighteen, composed of representatives Of
those factions, may prove to be an In
effective agency for order.

Garner and Smith.

Speaker Garner yesterday called on
former Gov. Alfred E. Smith in New
York City and the two conferred for
about an hour behind closed doors.
When the Speaker emerged he was in
smiling mood Asked as to the nature of
his talk, he said that he did not see
how any leading Democrat-modestly
including himself in that category
could go to New York and leave without
calling on the former standard bearer of
the Democracy. He acknowledged that
they talked about the campaign and
then said:
I expressed the hope that he would
help us along in support OF the Demo-
cratic ticket. think he would be worth
as much to us as any one man, maybe
more. Yes. I'll make it superIative. He'd
be worth more than any other one man.
I'd love to have him supporting the
ticket.
Asked as to his hopes In this regard,
the Speaker said that he did have such
hopes, but he suggested that the former
oo'CAiOl otSCdh AOi 1AAIloCi1. dll
hour later Mr.. Smith appeared and was
asked as to the conference. About
everything that took place with Mr..
Garner" he said, Il have not single
word to say, not single word" Asked
directly if he would speak for the
Roosevelt Garner ticket, Mr.. Smith re-
joined: That's the same question put
in another way; I have not a single
word to say"
If Speaker Garner can persuade
former Gov. Smith to break his silence
on the Democratic ticket-the candi-
date Of 1928 has already declared that
he would support the party-he will
have contributed substantially to the
cause of the democracy But there is
little cheer at Albany in the grim silence
that now pervades the Empire State
Building, broken only by the Happy
Warriors cryptic responses to yester-
days reportorial questions.
