ANGLO-SAXON ALLIANCE.

The definite switch yesterday in the trend from an Anglo-Japanese lineup in the preliminary naval conversations in London to United States-Great Britain alliance is decidedly encouraging and un- doubtedly of vast importance to the peace of the world.
 Up until yesterday the position of Great Britain not only doubtful but many observers believed that through proposals of advantageous trade ar engagements both in Japan and Manchukuo, Japan was making progress in wooing Great Britain away from supporting the United States stand for the maintaining of the Washington and London naval limitations treaties.
 The announcement that the British and Amer ican delegates have agreed to insist continuance of the principles of the Washington Naval Treaty of 1922 apparently established definite Anglo Saxon alliance, and both countries made it clear that they have intention whatsoever of granting the tonnage equality that Japan demands.
 It is to be hoped that naval limitation will win out and prevent orgy of spending for great natives. However, if the three powers should fail to agree on the terms of such treaty, the peace of the world is much insured through the maintaining of strong Anglo-Saxon alliance, and the furtherng of friendly relations between the two great Engish-speaking nations of the world

They Like to Play.
(New York Times.)

It is either the children the queStionnaires in Englewood N. J.. that differ sharply from the est of the nation. Replies by 1,500 Englewood children of primary and junior high school age bring out the encouraging fact that the youngsters would rather play games after school hours than 20 to the movies. They see the pictures a week and they prefer comedy and adventure to crime.
 Intense concern was caused some years ago by queStionnaire among 1000 children in a Mid western State. It showed that the most popular recreatons were comic pictures and reading Once upon time the high place held by reading would have been a source of comfort. But in the more modern view a child who prefers books is almost as bad as a child who prefers the comic strips: they both "vicarious" amusements. They are not active play

The Sinclair Moral.
(New York Tines.)

(NeW York I1neSD
 The total failure of the Sinclair campaign in California is important in itself, but more so in showing how to meet political movement like this. The only way, the American way, is to challenge the whole thing directly, face it squarely, and make end of it for good and all. When a radical dreamer starts up mad project, and apparently has won an irresistible popular support for it, the instinct of some public men is to compromise Go part way with him, it is argued, so to prevent him from going the whole way. If he is an unbalanced fanatic act little crazy yourself so as to lure from him a part of his voting strength. If he offers universal pension of 60 a month make your own bid $25. This would be on the theory that the method of discouraging and defeating wild is to propose measures not quite wild his But not so did the people of California their duty Tuesday. They attacked the entire Sinclair plan and repud- lated it emphatically. Time and again have the American people met demagogue of that kind and disposed of him in that way. California has shown the rest of the country how to go about such a disagreeable business and do it thoroughly

DEPRECATES RECKLESS CHARGES

Present plans are, in the event such does happen, that the Presi- dent will call the Senate into spe- cial session for the trials.
 The general uneasiness among House members over the Federal judiciary strikes deeper than any of the specific matters now under consideration. Hatton Summers of Texas, chairman of the Judiciary Committee, voiced this feeling re- gently on the floor of the House with the statement:
 Ut is probably true, whatever the cause, that the Federal judi ciary today, in point of public confidence, holds the lowest posi- ton it has held since the organi- zation of the government"
 Summers, one of the recognized authorities on constitutional law in Congress, believes the task of re- storing confidence in the courts lies not in making reckless charges and insinuations against the judg-

JUDICIARY MAY GET CLEAN UP FROM SENATORS
Rep. Hatton Summers Voices Belief Some Judges
 Should Be Removed
By HERBERT PLUMMER

WASHINGTON, May 29- What may result in one of the most sig nificant moves made in the present Congress has gone comparatively ignored.
 Launched in the special session last year and continued into the present regular session, the Fed eral Bench has come in for the most careful scrutiny by Congress in years. Something is brewing on Capitol Hill which may revolution ize completely the status of Fed eral Judges.
 The judiciary committee of the House has, since the special session, been conducting three separate in- vestigations of the Judicial conduct of members of the Federal Bench. Before that the committee had two such specific inquiries under way.
 It may be that the Senate will have to sit during the summer, for if the Committee and House order impeachment proceedings, Senators must sit as judge and jury.

These messages were address sed to Pete Erickson and Dewey Bennett of the Seattle Longshore- mems Union, Tacoma Longshore- mems Union and the Sailors Strike Committee, Seattle.
 In them, the Governor said:
 Without attempting to pass upon the merits of longshoremen's strike l beg you to take into account the great interest Alaska has in unin- terrupted operation of vessels be- tween Seattle and Alaska. Thou sands of working men are idle in Alaska now and others being added to the jobless every hour because of lack of equipment in all lines of activity. In Southeast Alaska alone there are 4,0O0 idle trollers who cannot find market for their products on account of lack of transportation.

Will It Last?

The next question is whether this new enthusiasm will survive the controversy which promises to develop at the June meeting of the Republican National Committee in Chicago.
 Senator Reed rates himself as an orthadox Republican. He is friend of the Melons. He was, on occa- sion. a spokesman for the Hoo yer administration. He holds to the traditional Republican policies on such subjects as currency, taxation. and the tariff.
 There are many in the party who want to get away from those traditions. They want the Chicago meeting to choose a Chairman, and the 1886 convention to choose a candidate, leaning toward a new liberalism. They believe there is no hope for the party unless that is done.
 It remains to be seen whether, in the long run. the Reed victory clarifies or complicates that situa- tion.
