Washlngton.-Next to the bonus the

majority for the pact. whereas, last

Heating Plants Lead

New heating plants constituted the
biggest individual demand for these
home modernizatlon loans. or the first
5,028 loans made, 997 were for heating
plants. Redecoratlns OF interiors came
second with S61. and new plumbing &C
counted for 861.

Despite all the propaganda about bet

were made for this purpose, and only
1923 for additional rooms.
There had been expectancy also that
new lighting would be one OF the big
classltications. yet only 1913 loans were
made for this purpose.
The administration is convinced that
only the surface has been scratched In
this home modernzation move. But It

Old British Game

There was more than met the eve
IN the "huddle" OF the British and
American delegations at the London
naval conference the other day, while
the Japanese delegates. according to
press dispatches, were "nrrplexed."
u was Just that .'perplexIty" which
was desired. The only surprising fen.
lure was that the British were willing
to make the gesture this year. But
even TINT ls solved by some confidential
ndvires Just received from London
The whole difficulty Of the situation

manding equality with Britain and

London WAS disposed to let Washington

was simply the old British diplomatic

serious. and from two angles. First.

Issue Is Geographical

Now the same thing precisely ap-
plies to the Rhode Island senators,
though to much lesser degree, with
respect to the port OF Providence.
Maine objects to the treaty because It
would tend to hurt Portland. Both
New York senators voted against It.
although both followed the President
on most things, because they thought
1t would hurt the port Of New York,
the Erie canal, and the railroads run
ming to New York The same precisely
with the Connecticut senator's, although
one was Democrat, and the New Jer
sey senator's.
The Pennsylvania senator's did not
vote against the treaty because thew
were Republicans, but because OF the
port of Philadelphia and the railroads
through that state. The same with the
Delaware senators. Maryland. with
one Democrat and one Republican, vot.
cd against the treaty. So did Virginia,
and North Carolina and Georgia. 10th
Florida senator's, even, failed0to sup
nortsthe treaty. And the Huisiana
senators both feared the effect of the
seaway on the port OF New Orleans.
So the issue might be called geo
graphical.
Now there Is no doubt the President
has picked up few votes for the
treaty. No one thinks that Joe Guffey
will heed Phladelphia's exporters, I'M
porters and dock workers. or even the
Pennsylvania railroad. against the urg-
ing OF the President. 1t may be that
George l.. Radcliffe, close friend OF
the President. will follow him DESPITE

But the geography Is still working.
and Mr. Roosevelt Ia going to have a
hard time. All OF which Is interesting
because, If the truth were known. Mr..
Roosevelt Is not very much interested
In the St Lawrence project as sea
way, He would never say so, because
that would be most imnolltic In the
Middle West and Northwest. which
urgently want the canal, because tfev
believe cheaper freight rates to Europe
would mean higher prices to American
farmers.

But the point now Is that Britain has
been driven out In the open, so far as
Japan is concerned, for the first time.
II was we'll known to the American
State department at the time the
Washington armament conference was
called. that Britain was willing to abb
rogate, or rather to fall to renew, the
Anglo-Japanese alliance. That, In fact,
was the chief objective of Charles
Evans Hughes, then secretary OF state,
In the whole conference. The four
power Pacific pact was simply an ex-
cuse to sugar-coat the pill for Japan.
But Ii Japan suspected the sugar
coating. she never showed her sus-
picion. In fact, there are many dlplo-
mats OF other countries who have con.
stantly suggested, perhaps with sim
certify and perhaps with Interior mo-
uves, that the alliance between Albion
and Nippon was no longer on paper,
but 1t WAS really there.
There Is no doubt that British states
men were Perfectly willing to let Japan
go on thinking so. as long as they could
assure the New Zealand, Australian
and South. African governments pri-
vately that nothing was further from
their thoughts.
But the stand of America against
Japanese parity for either America or
Great Britain ut the London naval con-
ference brought this to a very sharp
Issue. The Dominions saw London
standing passively by, with the Japs
thinking Britain was on their side.
while America made the fight the Do
minions wanted made.
So some gesture was necessary even
II the feelings OF Japan were hurt BY
the apparent duplicity OF her late ally.

Need More Confidence

Nearly one-fifth OF the people Dor
rowing government money for home
modernlzation are on government nav
rolls. Which proves to hackers OF the
plan. which has not succeeded on any
thing like ms big a scale as had been
hoped, that what is still needed. be-
fore real prosperity can come back,
Is more confidence.
The trouble Is. one of the officials
connected with the plan pointed out,
though not for quotation, that the rank
and file Of people OF moderate means
are holding on to their money far too
tightly, and the reason Is they are
afraid to take any chances.
1t Is interesting. therefore. to find
such large percentage Of the people
who are willing to take chance and
borrow some money to make their
homes more attractive are on govern
ment pay rolls.
A recent survey OF the loans made
so fur showed 1913 per cent OF all of
them had been to public employees.
Clerical employees ranked next with
1927 per cent. There are only two
other really important-In numbers
classes. Skilled mechanics and bust
mes men who are the sole owners OF
their enterprises In other words, the
little fellows.
Statesmen constituted only CTS per
cent of such borrowers Cornoratjon
officers only 5.O4 per cent. and unskllled
lnbnrers only Cid per cent. Railway
employees. curIously enough. amounted
TO less than ! per cent. So did bar
