Threatened With Two
Conservative Parties

It is unfortunate during
this year of the Washing
ton celebrations that there
probably is less faith in the
efficacy and even justice of
American institutions than
ever before in history. Mich
olas Murray Butler, in an
address, has just observed
that conversations in "a
States of the Union have
convinced him that thought
full people are quite ready
for any kind Of change that
would promise an outlet
from our present chaos.
More important than gov
ernmental forms is the funda-.
mental thought behind our
institutional plan-that gov
ernments cannot justify their
existence unless they serve
the interests Of the people.
But the most interesting
feature of the Butler ad-
dress at the dinner Of the
National Industrial Confer
ence Board is his observa-
tion that the two political
parties no longer represent
the two real elemental
Gle eavages in political
thought. Instead of having
a party representing the
conservative idea and one
the liberal, he finds that
there is little difference be-
tween them. We often hear
this said. And there is just
enough truth in it to make
1t disturbing. And all the
more disturbing, because
many think it means that we
are threatened with two con-
servative parties and no
liberal party at all. There
is room in America for but
one conservative or reaction
ary party.

WORLD COMPLICATIONS

IT almost seems, this winter, as if the
fates had Indignantly contrived pc
culiarly veXing and difficult series of
problems for the statesmen of the world
and, through them, for all the rest of
US
To complicate the infinite difficulties
arising out of the world business depres-
sion there is the weary tangle of repair
ations and war debts demanding settle
ment. Then, to make that more intri-
cate comes the Sino-J Japanese imbroglio,
with all of its fateful possibilities.
Now, to cap the climax, we have the
Geneva disarmament conference.
All of these problems are related.
Tackle one, and the others must be con-
sidered. Settle one, and you have COM
mitted yourself on the others. Try to
ignore one, and the others promptly be-
come more difficult.
At the present moment, it is the rela-
tionship between the disarmament con-
ference and the trouble in the Orient
that is most striking.
Probably it is safe to say that there
never was time when as many people
really wanted to see armaments reduced
as at present. In some quarters this de-
sire is something like a crusadlng fervor.
The ordinary people of the world do not
want any more war, and they are not
enamored of the prospect of spending
hundreds of millions of dollars, at time
when many must go hungry, to support
armies and fleets.
And yet-there, on the eastern hor-
izon. is a menacing black cloud. If you
had friends or relatives in Shanghai,
for instance, or if you owned stock IN an
American business trading there, you
would find yourself admitting now that
cruisers, destroyers and battalions of
marines and soldiers can be exceedingly
useful, at times.
What are we to do? What are our
statesmen going to be able to do? Shall
we blunder along, trusting in Providence
and keeping our powder dry, until the
force of events brings us to the edge OF
catastrophe? Shall we surrender to the
rising tide of isolationist sentiment and
trv to go our own way regardless OF
what our neighbors do? Or shall we
risk everything on one last great effort
at international understanding and CO.
operation? ,,.. :,
Those are profoundly difficult
questions; and they must be answered,
one way or another, before summer.

SEA ROMANCE

IT IS hard to understand why simple
gallantry has such an appeal It is
only a veneer, or a gesture; but when
time and distance have gathered around
gallant act there is something about
1t that draws our attention and makes
US read about it and dream over it.
The other day there died in Spain Ad-
miral Antonio Eulate; and his death
brought back to mind a half-forgotten
story of Spanish American War days.
His daughter, Senorita Carmela Eulate,
wrote to the American State Department
asking that Taylor Evans of New York
be notified of her fathers death.
Taylor Evans is the son of the late
Admiral Robley Evans of the L. s. Navy
the Fighting Bob of navy legends
And Admiral Eulate was commander of
the Spanish cruiser Vizcaya on that
summer day in 1898 when the Spanish
fleet made its desperate, hopeless sortie
out of Santiago harbor and was pound
ed to pieces by guns of the American
fleet.
tighting Bob was captain then, and
he commanded the battleship Iowa.
When the Spanish ships tried to slip
away along the Cuban coast toward the
west, he fastened himself on the Viz
caya's quarter and drove it ashore,
flaming wreck filled with dead and
wounded men and made more horrible
by the incessant bursting of shells from
its own magazines.
At great risk to their own lives, sail
ors from the Iowa brought the surviving
Spaniards from the riddled Vizcaya.
Eulate, badly wounded, came to the To-
was quarter deck, and in accordance with
ancient naval usage handed his sword
to Captain Evans. And Evans, taking
his opponent by the hand, gave his sword
back to him and told him to keep it, as
befitted a brave man.
Now it is a little hard to see just what
there is about that anecdote that makes
it memorable generation later. But
its sticks in the mind somehow, with
bright, melancholy appeal; and it was
strong enough to make the daughter of
the dead admiral write to America to
tell the son of Fighting Bob that her
father was dead.
1t is a picture out of naval romance
two officers facing one another across
an extended sword on a bright quarter
deck, with the smoke from burning ship
in the background; gallant, little the
atrical, and absurdly attractive.
