but while present spread out in Skir-

lawn in their search for worms. 1t is
an interesting sight and well worth
watching for. The thing to do, if you
see robin late in the Fall, is to look
for more robins. That way the flock is
not missed, whereas If one thinks, oh,
just a robin" the fact that 40 more are
to be seen keeping it company will not
be comprehended at the time, and pretty

The smallest garden is filled with in

from the carping, sneering state of mind
which confines one entirely to ones

Even the smallest garden is not

and must be viewed as such. In it some
of the mightiest changes in the uni

many observers tend to feel it unworthy
of notice, since nothing can be done
about it." as they say. To the contrary,
something may be done about the
weather some time: it is not beyond the
scope of possibility; but until that hap
pens there is nothing that the average
man or woman should be interested in
more, for life depends upon weather.
Wherefore. it always strikes US as
absurd, the protestations Of one Of these
persons who refuses TO discuss the
weather. If he had proper respect
for Creation he would realize that air
and water wind and weather are all
indubitable signs of God, put down in
every quarter for our interest. They
are there; We show good sense by rec
ognizing them and treating them with
respect. Overlooking them is impos-
sible; pretending to overlook them Is
absurd.

But nothing else matters quite so
much as the fact that Stradivari labored
under the Crenona sky. He was Amati's
pupil, yet more courageous, possibly
equipped with a more active talent for
invention. His long" model violins were

ness until 1743, six years after his own

unique. Like Shakespeare and Beethoven,
he is alone in the annals OF human
enterprise.

Disarmament Gains.

In world that seems determined to
run amuck in the realm of naval arma-
ments, even the slightest indications OF
readiness to call halt must rank as
blessings that are welcome, if not over
whelmingly important. OF such a de-
scription are the pacts just signed in
London by Germany and Soviet Russia,
whereby they adhere to the Anglo
Franco American treaty of 1886, placing
a limitation of 35 900 tons on battleships,
of $4,000 tons on aircraft carriers and
Of 16 inches on guns. Thus, Japan and
Italy are the only sea powers of conse-
quence that remain outside the agree
ment for qualitative limitation. At a
time when any hope of further progress
looking to reduction of naval armaments
had almost taken wings, the Berlin and
Moscow governments make contribu-
ton which revives confidence that. after
all, the cause Of keeping sea establish
ments within reasonable bounds may not
be entirely lost.
just as London, Paris and Washington
naval authorities are pledged by the tri-
partite agreement not to take one an
other unaWares in the form of tonnage
or armament expansion, the Germans
and the Russians also pledge themselves
to those restrictions. This means that
five powers, instead of three, are now
under a common bond to inform CO.
signatories of their respective building
programs several months before these
are actually undertaken. mystery"
ships and the surprise element are done
away with, a development which makes
for mutual trust and paves the way to
wider understanding.
Great Britain acted jointly for her.
self, France and the United States in
admitting the Reich and the U. S. S. R.
into the qualitative limitation partner
ship. Germany's adhesion is OF primary
interest to Great Britain, which has
the most reason to fear sudden innova-
tions in warship types in the North
Sea, like the famous Nazi pocket battle
ships" which might suddenly render
whole sections Of the British fleet obso-
lete at one stroke. The new agreements
give Germany and Russia the right to
build a small number of cruisers be-
tween 5000 and 10000 tons, although
Britain, France and the United States
declared a six-year holiday on such
vessels.
A special concession to Russia permits
her to keep complete secrecy regarding
ships under construction or in commits
sion in Far Eastern waters-a privilege
which Moscow claimed because Japan
is outside the qualitative arrangement.
A significant feature of these various
agreements is that Soviet naval power
is recognized internationally for the
first time and with the complete acquies-
cence of the potential German enemy in
the Baltic. While it is doubtful whether
the Russians really plan naval expansion
on any considerable scale, Soviet ship
yards already have laid down at least
three 8,ooO-ton cruisers carrying IL
inch guns, which makes them the most
heavily armed new cruisers now under
construction anywhere.

1t seems incredible that this should be
so. The President has repeatedly stated
that immediate action is needed to put
new blood" on the supreme bench. 1t
was because immediate action is needed
that he has turned his back on a con-
stitutional amendment. He said it would
be too slow and too uncertain. He said
it again in his letter to Senator Barkley
the other day.
The administration leaders have ap-
parently misjudged sentiment in this
country badly in this particular fight
How long will they continue in their
present course? Even if they should
have bare majority in support of the
court bill-and there is reason to be-
lieve they have not-is there any real
need for dividing the country against
itself? In the first place, the court has
rendered decisions upholding liberal laws
when the laws were properly drawn and
properly presented for argument. In
the second place, the President now
has it in his power to infuse new blood"
into the court because. of the retirement
OF Associate Justice Van Devanter. 1t
has been predicted, too, that If the
court bill were dropped, other members
OF the Supreme Court would soon avail
themselves of the privilege of retirement
after seventy, as provided in the new
Summers act.
1t looks as though the court bill battle
was being fought simply for the purpose
of saving the administrations face. The
objectives-the infusion OF new blood
and more liberal opinions-have already
been obtained.

ANTI-REDU
FORMING IN )
NATIONS

BERLIN. March 5 QN.So.-The
formation of what amounts to an
anti-Communist international, with
headquarters in Berlin, in which
anti-Bolshevik organizations of 20
nations are already represented, is
under way here.
Thus far the organization, de-
signed to combat the activities OF
Moscow's Communist 1nterna-
tional, has been developed secretly,
without mention in the German or
European press.
Congress Planned
The main purpose of the new
organization, it was stated, is to
guide and coordinate a world
wide assault on the Comintern
Communist internationally in par
ticular and Bolshevism in general.
At present the headquarters
here is busy preparing for glgan-
tic world Anti-Comintern Con
gress" to be held in Berlin within
the next year.
It was understood that no
American organization has yet be-
come affiliated with the interna-
tional body, but organizers are
hopeful of enlisting one Amer
ican anti Communist society.
The Organizers
The chief organizers Of tn e
"Anti-Communist International
are Capt. Nilz Won Bahr, Tor
mer officer of the Swedish civil
service, and DR.. Adolf Ehrt, for
mer head of the League Of Ger
man Anti-Communist Assocla
tions.
These organizers emphasized:
"The forthcoming Congress
will not meet merely to pass
resolutions against the BOlshe-
visits, then dissolve, but will def
nitely further the collaboration
of anti Communist groups in all
countries.
UNION WANTED

slogan, one of the slogans of our
group will be: 'Anti-BOlsheviks
