SUCCESS
GIVEN FIGHTING CHANCE
to Agree" Sustains Hope
for Constructive Results at
Geneva Conference.

retically, as security grows France is to
permit German equality in armaments
to approach reality. With the signing
of an effective disarmament treaty the
armaments clauses of the Versailles
treaty automatically are to become in
|, operative. With the conclusion of the
treaty (and its mutual assistance pactS)
Frances security is to be assured-as
far as scraps Of paper" can assure it.
Drastic cuts in existing ornaments. es-
pecially those of offensive character, are
expected to be agreed upon at the same
time.
To put 1t graphically, disarmament,
security and equality are now supposed
to be in step and marching abreast in
hopes of reaching the same goal stimuli
taneously.
When the big five resume their dis
cussiorS on the Geneva accord which
has just been signed, perhaps in mid
January, there is a possibility that
Japan and Russia may be invited to
participate, These seven countries, it is
pointed out, have two-thirds of the
worlds entire armaments. They pay
ever a greater percentage of the worlds
annual armaments bill.
Exactly what happened behind the
closed doors of Ramsay MacDonald's
room in the Geneva lake front hotel,
Where Paul Boncour, Won Neurath,
Baron Aloisi, Norman Davis and the
ErltiSn premier met, less than a dozen
people know-and they will not tell.
According to Macdonald himself there
was plain talk which, in other days
certainly would have led to declarations
OF wars After the atmosphere cleared
the situation worked around to a point
where neither Germany nor France
dared take the responsibility for fail
ure to reach an agreement. Had Ger
many refused to re-enter the Disarma-
ment Conference, she probably would
nave found united Anglo-French-
American front against her, and little
sympathy from either Italy or Russia
The Disarmament Conference would
nave blown up completely.
AS things stand, however, the "ac-
cord is generally considered as impor-
tant as the Locarno treaties. It is far
more important than Lausanne, be-
cause, according to Mr. Macdonald, it
has within 1t the potentialities for set
Ting two important world problems
the proposed economic conference and
revision OF international debts. To say
nothing of disarmament.
No Clearer Document.
There never was clearer document
drawn up," says one of its trainers.
Usually words are used to gloss over
disagreements and failures. In the
Geneva accord they are used to register
an agreement. Every word in the ac-
cord means something-and every
statesman who signed knows exactly
what every word means. If an advance
cannot be obtained when we meet again
then disarmament might as well be for
gotten
That is how the situation will stand
in January.
One Of the incidental results of the
laSt-minute efforts at Geneva has been
the bringing together of two important
European figures - Macdonald and
Henderson. Since the British elec-
tions. when Henderson and his Laborite
colleagues were disastrously defeated

~ ARIS.-It is possible to draw up
a constructive and probably even
practical international political
IL and economic program for 1888.
This program, If adopted,
might go far toward ending the depres-
sion and restoring international stabil-
ity. But before outlining such pro-
gram, it will be useful to contemplate
briefly the present international situa-
tion.
International Anarchy.
The seven great powers on whose CO.
operation reconstruction mainly de-
pends, are still living In a state of in
ternational anarchy. No two of them
are seriously working together for any
thing.
The United States is undergoing an
interregnum between two Presidents.
The continuity of its foreign policy is
still far from assured.
Great Britain, under the stress of
grave economic, financial and imperial
difficulties, still appears to put its main
trust in balance of power, which has
kptherwise been pfrased as the doctrine
bf divide and rule.
France still is struggling for security
and for the European territorial status
Auo.
Germany wants territorial revision.
Italy is developing its ambitions to-
ward the Balkans.
Japan appears to be trying to estab-
gish its hegemony over Asia.
Russia is sitting tight, carefully
avoiding even the appearance of taking
sides with anybody and anywhere.
None OF these powers is strong enough
to take permanent constructive world
aafiOf1 hu ifcaIr &c efr
enough to block any attempt at such
action as long as the others are not
egreed on any common policies.
World Depression Continues.
The world economic depression con-
%inues. Tens of millions are unemployed.
Prices have continued to sink.
Many goods are being offered far below
cost. Yet there still are huge stocks
of various commodities clogging the
trace channels.
With diminished incomes, peoples are
ending the undiminished burdens of
debts and taxes increasingly hard to
bear Nearly all national budgets are in
deficit. The regime of government bor-
Eowing Is beginning to be not dissirn-
lar to that of the World War period
Ihe worlds foreign trade has declined
by more than half.
government lnterferenceS thus lar
seem merely to have made matters
worse. Commercial treaties are failing
to function. Twenty countries have
abandoned the gold standard or pro-
1aibit the export of gold. Twenty-seven
have forbidden or control currency ex-
port. Seventeen exercise direct gov
ernment control over imports. Nine
have stopped payment on all foreign
public debts and five also on foreign
private debts.
The project for World Economic
conference to seek common means
of curing at least some of these ills is
still vague. Aud while the Economic
Conference is ironically being called
the conference which does not know
how to begtn," the Disarmament Con-
ference is being referred to as the "con-
ference which does not know how 70

After years of discussions the ma
tions still seem mainly interested in
proposals, which, while increasing their
own relative armament strength, will
tend to weaken that of their adver-
saries.

Many English Bishops Hard Pressed
In Maintaining Palatial Residences

LONDON.-Not only are many bish-
pps OF the Church OF England finding
1t financially oppressive nowadays to
maintain in good order the often CEN
turies -old palaces which are their off,
seal homes, but even more rectors and
Ticars are hard pressed to run and
keep in good repair elephantine rec
tories and VcarageS reminiscent of
Trollope's novels. What is more irk-
some to the parsons is the knowledge
that the lay tendency is to associate
plenty Of wealth with such impressive
looking structures whereas the truth
is the incumbents are often reduced
70 the most Spartanlike methods OF
living.
Within the last few DAYS the Bishop
p- Winchester has dedicated a new
rural vicarage to replace one "for long
regarded as too big and expensive. !"
Ahere have been similar substitutions in
recent years in numerous parishes, much
10 the advantage Of their occupants. but
IT viii be long time before hundreds
pt these spacious structures are sup
planted
1t has been the practice of many Of
Ehe clergy to rent their vicarages to
town residents during three months of

but hard times have greatly reduced the

Heavy Toll on Church.
Taking tine pound at its normal rate,
tlle annual cost of its As bishops in the
Provinces of Canterbury and York in
ficts a heavy toll on the income de-
rived from its estates and revenues by
the Church of England. The total is In
excess of 100000. The Bishop of Lon
don has salary of $4,000, the Bishop
of Durham 5000, the Bishop of Win
chester $4,000 and the Bishops of Bath
and Wells, oxford and Salisbury S25 900
each. There are Is others whose Sala-
rieS are $4,000 or more, and IA Of
$4,000 or more
Without thinking what chunks the
income tax collector takes out of these
incomes, or how much of 1t has to be
expended on the maintenance of bishops
palaces and their STATS, or contributed
TO different causes. the struggling tax
payer is inclined to say the bishops are
having pretty soft time.
The Bishop Of London, the highest
PAID OF these dignitaries, has done much
70 scotch this idea by detailed account
pf the calls made on his income. He
has stated frankly that he would like
70 move out of Fulham Palace, which
Tor upweTds of seven centuries has been
the official residence of the Bishops of
London. But if he closed 1t down a
considerable number Of persons would
be thrown out of work.

Girls Schools Enforce
Early-to-Bed Ruling

LONDON-It is in something akin
to an "Oh, yeah?" frame of mind that
schoolgirls of fiapper age in many
households in Britain have responded
to an early-to-bed timetable advocated
by the head mistresses of several well
known schools. The timetable favored
by the head of Beckenham school sets
$50 pm. as the limit for a girl of ID.
At IS it is specified that bedtime should
be BIS pm, at l6, 8 pm, and II, 9:l5
pm. Nothing is said about the time
for getting up.
According to some head mistresses,
girls of flapper age are not obtaining
enough sleep because Of the radio and
home dancing. There are experienced
parents who say that only spinster
would suggest $50 as the latest bed
time hour for girl of 18.

However, the reply was partially qualified by Our negative reply is almost g foregone conclusion, but we must proceed with the utmost prud- ence."
 The spokesman for the Japanese Foreign Minister instructed the special Japanese counsel at Gene va to submit draft of his reply to the committee of nineteen at Tokyo before handing it to League officials, hence the Japanese reply is likely to be postponed for two or three days while the cabinet studies the matter.
 Japan stands irrevoeably for the maintaining of it's power in Manchuria. The spokesman said further Chinese sovereignty in Manchuria is ended forever, not withstanding reports that the Leag- ue proposes to insist on Chinese rights to exercise this sovereignty.
 The Leagues request as to wheth- CT Japan would promise not to ex- ttend it's military operations into Jehol province, brought forceful comment from the Japanese War Office "Its none of the League 5 llbusiness.'
