SOVIET SEES WAR THIRST.

MOSCOW, February II (P}.-Renew-
ing the Soviet press criticism OF the
Disarmament Conference at Geneva, the
newspaper Pravda today revived its con-
tention that the world powers were
thirsty for war.
The paper said the Geneva parleys
carried on under the cannonades roar
in the Far East were a mere maneuver
designed to deceive the laboring masses
"in order that imperialists might oper-
ate more easily in Shanghai and Nam
king, and not only there"
They want to change the confer
ence" the paper said, into smoke
screen to conceal from the laboring
masses raging preparations for new
World War
The Communist party organ called
attention 70 what it called the recent
rise on the larger stock exchanges as
an outgrowth of the Sino-Japanese dis
pute. 1t added: The New York and
Paris bosses do not want to diSarm.
This applies particularly to American
inperialists, who refrain from prema-
ture participation in the Far East con-
f1ict in order to guarantee a maximum
Of profits and a minimum OF loss.
The French proposal to arm the
League Of Nations was described oy
Pravda as directed against weaker
countries and the paper raised the Gus
tomary alarm that the Soviet Union
vas about to be attacked.

the League Of Nations" The Louis
vile Courier journal calls the French
plan more of theoretical than a prac-
tical proposition" but finds that it
offers a basis for disarmament discus
sion and presents the means for lifting
the Geneva Conference out of the dol
drums" Emphasizing the point that
lit proposes to abolish professional
armies and supplant them with citizen
armies, or short-term conscripts," the
Courier-Journal feels that lit is
starting point for new discussions, and
perhaps effective action"
Premier Herriot presents his plan"
says the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin,
not as an enemy Of the Hoover pro-
posal but as desiring to make an ap-
proach to its realization. The conScript
plan in theory is based on the doctrine
of the universal obligation to defend
ones country, which is traditional
American doctrine. 1t has been
abused overseas in the past when it
was expanded to the practice of the
nation in arms which turned all Eu-
rope into an armed camp. But it is
susceptible of an application which may
make it instrumental for the realiza-
regular forces to police requirements
and restricting the size of citizen
armies"
The Baltimore Sun offers the con-
clusion: The French arms plan. in
volving as it does a system of military
alliances and a measurable infringe
ment on national sovereignty through
the international control of armaments,
is hardly more likely to be accepted
than the scheme for the organization
of an international police force. 1t can
not be said that the plan is put for
ward entirely for bargaining purposes,
as some of the French proposals seemed
to have been put forward in the past:
for there is evidence to support the be-
lief that France is sincerely trying to
make concessions to Germany on the
one hand and to the international senti-
ment for disarmament on the other.
But it must be recognized that the pro-
posed submission of armaments to in
ternational supervision and the pro-
posed formal commitment to a con-
sultative pact involve tremendous diff
culties and hold out only slender
promise of agreement. To be sure. Mr..
Stimson has said for this country that
consultation Is implied in the Kellogg
pact. but the embodiment Of this ad-
mission in q formal treaty is another
matter"

Degrading a Cathedral.

Last year the Soviet government of
Russia destroyed one of the great
churches of Moscow. Now comes the
announcement that st. Isaacs Cath
edral in Leningrad is to be transformed
into "an anti-religious theater,' what
ever that may be. The first produc
tion of the metamorphosed- stage is
advertised as a satire on the life of the
saint to whom the temple was dedi-
Gated.
Designed by the French architect
Richard de Montferrand, st. Isaac's
was begun in 1919 and completed in
1858 It's cost was estimated at twelve
million dollars. In shape Greek
cross, it was constructed of Finnish
red granite and marble. Each facade
has a portico modelled after that of
the Pantheon at Rome. A gilded dome
more than three hundred feet high
crowns the structure. The interior
decorations, originally, were rich and
impressive A distinguished congrega-
ton WOrshiped there.
When the Soviet authorities launched
their crusade against religion the fate
of the church was sealed. 1t was but
question of time until the edifice
would be wrecked or assigned to Sec
ular use. The hour has struck at last

No Supreme Court Picketing.

It is a strange psychology that pre-
walls in the case Of such agitators as
those who are now proposing to picket
the Supreme Court next Monday when
1t is expected a decision will be rem
dered in case of the seven men convicted
in a Southern State for criminal as
sault. What possible good would such
q demonstration effect? By no stretch
of the imagination could it be con-
ceiyed that the presence Of banner
bearers walking about the Capitol would
affect the opinion of any member OF
the court in the slightest degree. In
all likelihood the decision has already
been reached irrevocably. The pick
etsrs would parade, if permitted. before
announcement of the courts opinion,
and if that opinion were in favor of
the convicted men it could not be
claimed and 1t would never be thought

1t IL q curious thing how one can
get q reputation for wisdom.
Just happen to answer q question,
particularly about book titles or authors,
and forever after one Is o Wise Man.
Perhaps it is just as well that repu-
tations are based on so little, and are
so hard to break down afterwards.
One may fail. many times, in answer
jeapordizing the small fame already
garnered.
One fortunate hit and it Is done.
It is possible to think, If one has q
slightly cynical turn Of mind, that q
great many larger regulations may be
based on nothing more tangible, per-
haps
The world Is 50 large, and the peo-
pie In 1t so many and so diverse in
abilities, that no one person can know
more than a few other persons.
Really know them, OF course.
Superficial acquaintance often passes
as true knowledge, when all the time
it is nothing more than q sort OF sur
face greeting.
Men are continually astonished at
the lack Of knowledge they have OF
lHe WOIklISS VI otiicl hhcu o AIAiuS'
They discover in the twinkling OF an
eye that this fellow they thought they
knew is stranger to them.
~
How fortunate it is, after all, that
a reputat ton for certain sorts of wis
dom is comparatively easy to get!
It is well, too, that the bestowers OF
this fame are not much interested In
discovering whether it is deserved or
not. Mostly they are satisfied to have
at hand a ready repository OF knowl-
edge. as they think, to which or to
whom they may turn in an hour OF
need.
II this credit is based more on q
lack Of real interest than anything else,
perhaps that is well. too, for certainly
a misguided interest on the part of
many persons would result only In
trouble for all.
No, it is a happy fact that the ma
iority of human beings under civiliza-
ton are well disposed, willing to give
another honor, and glad to add to his
prestige in this simple way.
There are few more durable salts
factions in life.
Even if one is we'll aware that his
knowledge Of certain avenue OF learn
ing is not all that another thinks 1t Is,
nevertheless he is buoyed up by the.
estimation Of the other into feeling
better satisfied with himself.
The point is that the honest man. the
intelligent man, Is never satisfied with
himself
What, never?
Well, hardly ever.
He needs the stimulation OF admlra-
ton for his mind more than women
for their beauty.
Ask any private secretary, and the
chances are that the bright young
woman will tell you, II she is sure she
can trust you. that the boss" needs
his daily patting on the back more than
any person she knows.
No matter how perfect his business
plans, no matter how well they sue
ceed he must have some one else tell
him they are good and point out how
we'll they are succeeding before he is
satisfied.
This is part of the job of every good
secretary whether man or woman. But

Distorted reasoning pfomptA such
demonstrations, the same kind of reA-
sorling that produces the radical, the
enemy Of the existing order the icono-
clast. It Is distorted reasoning that
produces the fanatic. But all Of those
who promote such demonstrations as
that proposed for Monday - which
should be prevented not mere
fanatics. They are in some cases
shrewd schemers, crafty political ag1-
tators The leaders probably know
that there is no sense in such parade
as they declare they will organize and
that no good can come from it and
that no benefit will directly be derived
by any cause or group or interest in
such a defiance of the proprieties. But
they are simply sei1ng upon this case
and this occasion to draw attention to
themselves. Just as those who have
engaged in the defense of the accused
men. chronic radicals of every shade Of
opinion, have without any genuine con-
Germ for the welfare OF the defendants
hocked to court in their behalf pri-
narily for agitation and only second
arily for the wretched men whose lives
are now at stake.
The Supreme Court Of the United
States will lose no whit of its dignity
or its prestige or authority If these
wrong headed disturbers should be per-
mitted to march about the Capitol on
Monday. But just the same, no such

should be tolerated, no such gesture of

Halloween Casualties.

A grievous and perhaps binding in
jury received by a resident Of nearby
Maryland on Halloween, just disclosed,
illustrates the danger that Is incurred
in . free and undisciplined observance
of this occasion by children. A stone
flung with probably mischievous intent
struck him in the face and shattered
his eyeglasses. causing wounds that may
effect the loss Of vision. This Is the
most serious casualty of the local an
niversary of Halloween, but many other
outrages were committed upon persons
and property. Articles were taken from
premises, some destroyed. and most an
noying of all the pranks was the use
of soap and candle grease IN marking
up doors and windows, wire screens
and particularly motor cars. In some
cases irreparable damage was done, and
a reckoning of the cost would make
an impressive total.
Wanton mischief of this kind is not
warranted in any degree by the license
given to children on Halloween to play
games and pranks suitable to the oc-
casion. Destruction of property Is never
to be tolerated. Parents whose chill
dren engage in these practices are sadly
lax in their discipline in not forbidding
acts Of this kind and in not Furnishing
children who engage In them.
Let the family car be scratched so
that it can never be restored to It's
original condition. let windows be
broken, let valuable property be stolen
or let a member of the household be
injured by missiles and the point OF
view of parents toward this indulgence
changes. But then it may be too late
The boy who threw the stone that
blinded the man the other night may
not be identified by the police VINO
are searching for him and his COM
panions, but the parents Of that boy
and his mates should be able to learn
and should impose disciplinary treat
ment that may prevent future engage
ment in these dangerous practices.
