A Test of Craftsmanship.
Cincinnati Enquirer9

The japanese Cabinet has decided to repudiate
the naval ratio agreements which have governed the
naval ornaments of the leading powers since
1922. This means that Japan will not sign any
disarmament treaty in the 1885 conference unless
it accords to her virtual equality Hitherto the
navies of the three leading powers have been limited
on the basis of the 5-5-3 ratio, the assumption
that this gives each navy strong enough to defend
its territories and weak enough to be unable to
attack without foreign aid.
That principle appears to have been well found
ed. 1t produces three navies in substantial equilib
rum. Neither Great Britain nor America tempt
ed to attack Japan in her own waters Britain and
the United States were nearly equal that the
victory would go to the which fought in her
own bailiwick, if war between the Anglo Saxon
powers should arise. Japan had not the forces to
wage aggressive against either of the others.
This may not be ideal arrangement, but it
comes near any limitation plan could to insur
ing the peace.
Japan rejects the ratio principle. Disre-
garding Britain's need for larger forces to defend
far-flung Empire, and Americas responsibility to
police two seacoasts, she contends that she should
have equality. Doubtless she would be willing to
accept something less than actual parity, but she
is unwilling to limit herself by treaty to definite
inferior ratio.
This sets serious task for the statesmen who
to participate in the London conversations next
month, and the naval disarmament conference next
year. To abandon the limitation plans entirely
would be to invite ruinous competition in naval
construction. To accede to all Japan's demands
would upset the equilibrium established 1t
will require tact and persistence to find formula
that will give the Japanese Government some con-
cessions to show its people, without overhrowng the
principle of ratios which is fundamental to any
lasting regime of naval limitation

A Forgotten Drama.
New York Herald Tribune. }

! Most people who observing political events
in 1912 must have started when they read of the
death of William Lorimer of Chicago He, who was
once SO wildly in the news and the center of
great Senate debate had in recent years lived in
such obscurity that few were aware that he was
still alive Defeated politician, ousted as
Senator, discredited a banker, after a remark
able triumph poverty, the final years of Lori
mers life were in sharp contrast to that middle
period when he was a national issue and marked
the time when the Senate first became acutely
conscious of the qualifications of it's members. AS
with many who try vainly to come back, Lorimer
had disappeared from public view and it was diff
cult to see in the lineaments of the old man
whose picture the newspaper published the rotund
contours and determined features of the politician
who once tore the Senate apart.
Lorimer had made his way through ward, city
and State politics in Illinois by the manipulation
of organization Like his kind he Stunned oratory
But when he took the floor in the Senate to defend
himself against the custer notion the way in which
The told the story of his rise from obscurity of his
struggle against priyaton, made his speech most
defective. Especially notable his description of
the street friendships Lorimer made in Chicago with
boys who, later as Democratic Legislators, had ell
lected him, a Republican to the United States
Senate. When he paused uncertainty at the end of
IA sentence and sank dejectedly in his seat the
sympathetic effect manifest that, had it not
been for the masterful attack of Elihu Root prev
iously uttered it was said at the time that Lorimers
certlflcate OF election would have been accepted
Lorimer himself shared this belief He felt
that he victim of high politics. President
Taft had just been renomnated and Theodore
Roosevelt about to be designated as an indie
pendent candidate. The President had expressed
publicly the hope that the Senate would come out
on the side of honesty and decency." T. r. had
declined to sit at the same table with Lorimer at a
public banquet. The Senate vote was SIS to %
against him, party lines being broken Of those
who voted for Lormer, only Fletcher is still in the
Senate. Of the S. only Ashurst, Borah, Gore and
johnson are Senators today

Clean Bill of Health.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)

Only after protracted debate was Soviet Russia
admitted to the League of Nations and assigned
seat in the Council. The question of Russia's adj
mission produced one of the most outspoken debates
in the history of the League, rivaling even the
bitter meetings devoted to japanese aggression in
Manchuria in 1882. The opponents of Russia's adj
mission, however among the lesser Powers, and
while their complaints loud they fell deaf
The final vote amounted to giving Moscow
clean bill of health as a member of the world
family
The resistance to admission of the Soviet
Union based chiefly the propaganda activities
of Russia looking 70 world Communist revolution.
This was a powerful factor few years ago, and
responsible for the refusal of France to recognize
Russia. In few years, however France has become
the most vigorous champion of the Soviet Unions
entry into the family of nations respected
member.
1t should be recogized, in fairness to the small
Powers that opposed Russia's entry, that much Of
the pressure from France and Great Britain resulted
from desire TO strengthen the League as weapon

''THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
OUGHT TO

Most all Of us have said at sometime other
"The Chamber of Commerce ought to do something
about that" hoping or assuming that it would be
done and grumblng if it wasn't, but perhaps not
giving much thought to how it could be done
or who in the organization would see it through.
According to the Juneau Chamber of Commerce
membership rolls approximately 1870 Juneau residents
members with full privileges of voting and
participation in the Chambers activities.
This number is relatively large for a city the
size of Juneau. From that number much con-
structive worthwhile good come for the develop
ment of this and to the general community
welfare, if the individual members will each consider
themselves responsible for things that should be
DONE and offer to shoulder that responsibility from
time to time.
The Juneau Chamber of Commerce is not and
cannot be automatic machine into the hopper
of which toss our pet ideas and plans and
without further effort part watch them
come out completed and fulfilled.
When we say 1.-The Chamber ought to do some
thing" it is only fair and reasonable that we
assume some of the moral responsibility that the
word ought" implies and contribute time and work
to it ourselves, and aid the various committees
whose members consistently give their time and
best efforts for constructive community work
Fewer outside distractions prevail during the
Fall and Winter. 1t is a good time for members
and their guests to attend the weekly Thursday moor
meetings and to contribute their ideas and effort;
to the progress of juneau.

against Germany. Probably Russia would have
remained outside the League for years longer, had
it not been for the rise of Nazism and the eager
ness of the Paris Government to make the Geneva
organization a powrful bulwark of the European
status quo.
But the relatively small number of States that
opposed the admission Of the Soviet Union is also
significant. 1t indicates that account has been
taken of the abandonment of propaganda by Mos
Particularly in the last four years the Sovets
have withdrawn their propaganda and sought 10 win
friendship abroad They have come to realize that
all are better off if their Communist State is MADE
to prosper in harmony with foreign nations.
This change of heart in Moscow may not explain
why France was so keen to have Russia in the
League. But it does explain why so few nations
actually opposed Russias entrance Considering the
League as an agency for the prevention of war and
for international economic cooperation, one cannot
doubt that the admission of Russia is a step
forward.

ANOTHER EVIDENCE OF
