by the Senate on. the international
treaty, the American Executive be
vested with power to limit or forbid
shipments of war munitions"
1T would seem to be a practical
contribution to actual peace to keep the
weapons of warfare away from those ma
tions and factions which are disposed to
fight" in the Judgment of the Port Huron
Times-Herald, which states further:
There is good reason for believing that
some at least of the nations of the world
would find it difficult to carry on any
thing like serious warfare II the United
States and other manufacturing nations
would refuse to keep them supplied with
arms and munitions 1t is difficult TO un-
derstand, therefore, why Congress should
be so little disposed, as 1t is reported to
be, to warm up to President Hoover's
request that it either ratify the long
pending international arms conven-
ton. which would accomplish that end,
or pass a new law giving the President
authority to declare a munitions en-
barge when conditions seemed to call
for it,
Discussions Of the merits of the plan
from time to time" according to the
indianapolis News, "have brought out
the suggestion that it would fail of its
object when determined and resourceful
countries were involved They would
make the arms that they could not buy.
It might also work to the harm of 9
peaceful and unprepared country sud-
denly invaded by a well equipped foe.
The victim, having expressed its
aversion to war by lack Of prepared
ness, and being without effective. re-
course to an international tribunal,
would, if the privilege of buying arms
abroad was denied, be an easy mark.
This brings the question back to the
Presidents apparent preference for an
extension of the general power of en-
barge to the President. In critical sit
uations he could not only bar arms
shipments as an expression of objeo-
ton to war in general, but could favor
the weaker and more peaceful power at
the expense of an aggresSor defiant OF
world opinion. Some latitude of discre-
ton seems to be desirable. Since the
President is willing to assume the re-
sponsibility for shaping the countryS
policy in a given instance, Congress
should be willing to go into the ques-
ton with an open mind and take
definite stand for or against the pro-
poSal.'
Rather belated," is the conclusion
of the Hartford Times, with the crtti-
cism: Mr.. Hoover has put himself on
record as in favor of doing something
if possible about the shipment of arms
for war purposes, but his accomplish
ments toward that end are not note
worthy. The country may hope that
when there has been a change in ad-
ministration the Government of the
United States may cooperate more
definitely and efficaciously with foreign
nations to prevent, by international
compact, the sale of arms and am
munition for war use unless with the di-
rect authorization of the government of
the nation from which such goods are
shipped, That could compel nations 70
assume responsibility which individual
munitions makers now assume with
reckless and oftentimes wicked disre-
gard of the consequences involved"

Nina Van Wrinkle.

When the womans bureau of the Dis
trict police department was organized
in 1918 as an innovation in police ad-
ministration choice for its leadership fell
upon Mrs. Nina Van Wrinkle, who had
long been engaged in social service
elsewhere. This selection was a wise
one and 1t was fully justified by the
success of the new branch of the cor
rectional establishment of the Capital.
Mrs. Van Wrinkle applied herself to her
task with zeal that at times brought her
into conflict with the traditions Of DO
lice administra ton, but In every diff
Guilty that arose in her efforts to extend
the bureaus service and facilities she
had the support of the community and
the higher authorities of municipal gov
ernment, who recognized the soundness
OF her measures for the protection of
the feminine offenders against the laws
and the prevention of injustice to un-
fortunates. The records of the bureau
during the pioneering period and sub
sequently attest to the verify of her
vision and the effectiveness of her
measures. Her work in Washington set
standard for similar establishments
elsewhere, their number rapidly in
creasing as the Washington expert
ment,' as it was for time called
proved not only its need but its success
Ill health compelled her retirement
after fourteen years Of strenuous service.
which undoubtedly was shortened by her
unselfish fidelity Her death on Mon
day saddens Washington, to which she
devoted herself so arduously and which
now recognizes gratefully the contribu-
ton which she made to its welfare.
