treaties were written. The bal
ance of forces is not what it was.
There is no use pretending that
the settlement of 1922 was the last
word on the problems of the Far
East. 1t obviously is not. 1t is no
use, therefore, to take the posi-
ton that it is that settlement or
nothing. A new settlement is con-
ceiVable and it is necessary.
What we have right to ask of
the japanese is that they will join
with the other powers in the eff
fort to make a new settlement,
that they will not act as they see
fit without consulting the other
powers.
What they have a right to ask
of us is that we shall enter the
discussion assuming that Japan
means to act in good faith and
that we shall not stand irrevoca-
bly, upon treaty commitments that,
whatever the causes, no longer
truly express the actual facts.
OUCH a discussion, wholly re-
~ moved from the front pages
OF the newspapers, is needed i'm
perativey if we are not to have a
succession of incidents and a dan
gerous increase of. the tension as
the naval treaties come to an end.
There is, of course, no disposition
whatever in this country to fight
Japan.
Those who know Japan best say
there is no disposition there to
fight America. But that in itself
does not provide enough assurance
for the future. 1t is by taking ir-
revocable decisions that nations
drift into antagonism and then
they are at the mercy of incidents
which inflame feeling.
So it is the part of wisdom to go
to work with the japanese, and of
course with China and the other
powers interested in the Far East
tn make a new understanding.
Until it is reached there will have
to be a moratorium on notes, dec
larations, and interviews intended
for publication.
One almost might go so far as
to say that it would be desirable
to hear nothing further about
Japanese American relations until
the two governments are in agree
ment on the limitation of their
political aims and of their naval
ornaments.

hearing from Marianne that
Maria had confided to her "all
that ever passed between them
without reserve" all of which he
underscored heavily in his note.
Possibly it had something to do
with the events that led to young
Dickens being debarred from the
Beadnell home; or the reason why
Maria was sent to Paris.
How Maria could have had the
coldness of heart to wantonly in
crease the misery of this unhappy
youth is difficult for any chari-
table mind to understand After
denying that she had told any
secrets to Marianne, or had said
anything against him, she rebuked
him for objecting to anything she
might choose to say. and she went
on to state that his attention to
Miss Leigh had been very notice
able, that they had been seen to-
gether great deal, and ques-
toned his integrity by declar-
ing that his letter was rather in

1t was a pity that the japanese
spokesman had to start the de-
bate. 1t is highly desirable that
it should be adjourned promptly
and conclusively.
Before there are many more
announcements there should be a
long period of quiet discussion in
which every effort is made to
reach a workable understanding
It is clear, for example, that the
treaty structure erected in 1922,
as it affects naval ornaments, is
altered in its very foundations.
Manchuria has been separated
from China in defiance of the
treaties. The Chinese themselves
have not made the progress to-
ward national unity that in 1922
they were expected to make. Rus
STA, which in 1922 was an outlawed
nation and without strength, has
returned to the committee of
nations and is resuming the
status of great power.

THE all-important question of
= milk-its curtailed production
or its Understanding unset
tied.
Originally Secretary Henry
Wallace and his agricultural adj
justment administrators went in
for a strict system of milk con-
troll, including production and dis
tribution.
Against this there was terrific
rebellion. One revolt came from
within Wallace'S organization, led
by the consumers counsel, which
pointed out that millions of chill
dren were without sufficient milk,
that the country needed more
milk instead of less.
The other revolt came from that
all-powerful of dairy organiza-
tionS-the National COOPERATIVE
Milk Producers Association.
But having won its point, the
latter organization is in revolt
again. Charles Holman, high
pressure lobbyist, its Washington
representative, has been showing
obvious signs of worry.
The trouble is this: When the
Milk Producers Association urged
no control of milk, it was winter.
Production was at low ebb. Now
spring is here. Milk production
has gone up-way up. And with
maximum output, prices soon may
fall.
When that happens, there is no
amount of explanation either by
Holman, Henry Wallace, or any
one else which can appease the
dairyman'S wrath. and there is
likely to be a revival of demand
for milk production control.

cross swords with Miss Leigh. If
she urged him on, it would nat
urally show that she was still in

usual, she disappointed him. In
stead of encouraging the rup-
ture with Miss Leigh, she imme-
diately came back at him with de-
f1ance and recrimination.
AS to what Marianne knew or
how she found it out, we can only
surmiSe; and one persons guess
is as good as that of another.
Anyway, it brought matters to

affair presents letter from Dickens to
Maria, in which he reveals Maria's dis
courtesy and Mary Anne's intrusion. He
denies any interest in Mary Anne and
asks Maria's approval of a letter, which
he enclosed, which he proposes to send
to Mary Anne to prove to Maria his
good faith and devotion. You will thrill
to this episode.
