With each acccession assured to the signature list there is so much further in- surance against war wilfulness The British dominions contr a distinctive bit of evidence in this regard. Their view may be considered quite impartial and genuine, as being little if at all affected by diplomatic com- plications in Europe. Particularly Canada em- phasizes fittingly and sympathetically the Ameri- can preference for peace in declaring Friday that the Washington proposals ‘“by their directness and simplicity afford the peoples of the world a mew and notable opportunity of insuring last- ing peace.” Each such Senator Norris, I of Nebraska, and more or less leader the bloc of Senators, d ys a sion about the City work that leads there without realiz it ering. retary Hoover will take he might meet in If he will a few more he the forth the can so-called “‘prog comy and lack of ntion suspicion he had a Pepublican gath- Sec- he Kans conve to th was the nomination of upon which the nation indicate Democratic Party to| the Republicans soul in patience for| things about which for not mentioning with many embellishing they finish their His comments on and the platform his candidacy before the tead of have expected Kansas ( ity in but days, the iblicans full Democrats before assails Rep will be details by Houston The possible set in conclave.

And at the same time a wise limitation upon inclusion of details or particulars—which constitute one of the Geneva weaknesses—makes subscription the easier as well as surer, and the prospect of ef- fectiven the greater. Incidentally Canada formally declares she finds no conflict of either letter or spirit between the cbligations under this American pact and her commitments under the League covenant. To such a growing network of cémmitments of pledge and of formal opinion, in favor of world peace to be added another sort of network which also is steadily growing, and is likewise operative for peace and against war. The lat- ter's units are dollars, as contra-distinguished from words. They were aptly cited by the Presi- dent at Gettysburg when he marshalled the many reasons why the world needs and desires peace, tand why America particularly should be so desirous. Apart from the war debt legacy we have a baker's dozen of billions now scattered about the world as our investment stake,—serving others as well as earning for ourselves. We have also a commerce that yearly adds up to nine billions. Only a few ice there was much less of such trade, and there was none of such invest- ment; in fact, the trend ran all the other way. Now both these totals are mighty incentives to our favoring world peace. of enhances superior range.

(Manchester, Eng., Guardian.) Opportunities for breaking fresh ground in the exploration of dry land grow fewer and fewer; there is in existence a select companionship of people who have either flown over or reached on foot that ultimate No Man's Land of the North Pole. “The dark, unfathomed caves of ocean,” the very lowest shelves in Davy Jones's locker, represent the last of the really immense spaces which remain to be explored. Except at imagina- tive second hand and with the aid of ingenious dredging apparatus most of them will remain un- explored as long as man exists to sail over them, but Dr. William Beebe, the American expert in oceanography, now proposes to make a pretty ad- venturous attack on one or two selected centers of deep-sea life. By mans of “a new diving cylinder,” he intends to lower himself one mile below the surface of the Atlantic, and has come to London “to get for the cylinder some glass that will withstand the great pressure of water at that depth.” 1If this is a tribute to British glass-makers it is also a tribute to Dr. William Beebe's courage and confidence mnot only in mod- ern glass but in modern resources for maintain- ing an air supply at a fearfully dangerous depth. Still, if he can dive to his proposed distance in the ocean, illuminate his surroundings, and ob- serve the result, light will be thrown on a period which it seems almost a pitiful understatement to describe as prehistoric. These are regions which belong to earliest Genesis, when “the earth was without form and void and darkness was upon the face of the deep.” : tion of this kind was mentioned it was said that prapor kinematograph record of the researches was From|contemplated. 1If this also can be arranged for our urban eyes, it will be like adding a to the Zoo. Sl WORLD'S MONEY MARKET. Pre-eminence of New York as the money market of the world is strikingly brought out by a comparison of foreign lending by United States and Great Britain the past seven years prepared by the Department of The shift in Canadian and Latin borrowings from London to New York particularly significant According to the of Commerce, American foreign underwriting from 1920 to 1927 inclusive amounted to $6,836,000,000, while eorresponding British investments, according to the Midland Bank, totaled about $4,121,000,000. For each of the seven except 1923, for- eign issues floated in the United States exceeded those offered in the British market Both amounts minus refunding, but are not strictly comparable, as British statistics are based on prices of issues; wher the American figures represent par capital, The American figures, according be reduced ~ about 4 per cent.
