We believe the gent ict will be that Sen- ator Vandenburg of Michigan was right when he declared that Senator McKellar of Tennessee had given a premature pronouncement based upon in-| sufficient information when he asked for the return of the Ameri delegates at the London confer- ence on the ground that there was no chance to get a naval reduction agreement from the other four parties to the affair Not only was Senator McKellar's prematute but it decidedly bad taste time to handicap the American delegates. , They understand the situation better than the Senate debaters and they are capable of representing their Government and caring for American interests. It would be well for Senators as well as others to leave the matter in the hands of the capable and patriotic men selected to represent the country, and not to arouse a suspicion among the other delegates that they have not the confidence of their coun- trymen. FOUL WAS SCOTT'S ONLY CHANCE. People would probably be more interested in that Miami controversy over those alleged foul blows if it had not been so clearly evident that Phil Scott cannot fight anyhow. cision was on the chance of a foul. Tunney seems to have expressed the judgment of the public when | seen Scott before the. he said that he had not fight and had not seen him yet. Of course that cught not to have operated to deprive the English- man of a decision on a foul if he was fouled, but | it really lessens interest in the affair. One thing which ought to be borne in mind is that there was no reason for Sharkey to foul his oppon- ent. He had everything to lose by it, because his antagonist was at his mercy from the beginning. HIGH U. S. ARMY STANDARDS. “Quality not quantity” in the procurement of re- cruits is the War Department policy, and figures recently compiled show that the Recruiting Service is strictly adhering to the rule—“probably more rigidly than ever,” says the U. S. Army Recruiting News. A recent announcement from the Adjutant Gen- eral's Office with reference to enlistments and re- jections covering the three-months period, October 1 to December 31, 1929, discloses the fact that nearly fifty per cent. of the applicants for original enlistment were rejected during that period. Of a total of 18,158 applicants throughout the country, 940, or 5.18 per cent., were rejected because of failure to pass the prescribed intelligence tests. In addition to these, 7,453 others were rejected for various reasons. This shows us at a glance that 8,393 applicants were turned away, while 9,765 were enlisted. These figures lead us to but one con- clysion: The War Department will not lower the prescribed high standards set for its soldiers merely for the gske of making a good showing in the production columns of its procurement agencies. It is said that no other country is so strict in making selections for ' enlistment .and no other country is so insistent upon education work among the enlisted men. With the best men to start with, the best mind training in the army and the best fed and clothed troops in the world. it is not a wonder that the U. S. Army does well the things set for it to do. THE LEGIO PROPOSED UNIVERSAL SERVICE IN WAR TIME. ‘War breaks laws. Some newspapers contend that universal service in time of war, which the American Legion urges as the way to take profit out of war, would slow down production, and that competition and profit are needed to stimulate production. take into consideration that in war time, one law may destroy another. “Competition is the life of trade,” is one law, but it is a peace time law. “Self preservation,” however, “is the first law of nature” war time law Under the Legion proposal, industry would be controlled, or mobilized, not confiscated. Profit would be put at the lowest possible point. Special privilege would be eliminated. Under such condi- tions, it would be a matter of self preservation for any industry, any factory, to speed up its production to end war as quickly as possible, in order to get back to the peacetime, competition and labor likewise con- trolled along with capital; every element would | work as feverishly, to bring such an unprofitable business to a quick ending, as would the soldiers ¢ in the trenches. A thorough study and investigation of such a fundamental principle which offers such possibili- ties for good is fair and just.

It is, however, interesting to note that both in France and in England the old cru-| sading spirit is not wholly dead and that in Russia | a reversion to medieval intolerance seems to be in- progress. We are, indeed, fortunate in being able to base our attitude toward Russia on questions which are purely American without being tempted to embark on ventures which are clearly none of our business. Virginia’s First Press. (New York Times.) Invitations are out for a printing exposition, to be held at Richmond March 18 to 22, fo commem- orate the two hundredth anniversary of the setting (up of Virginia's first printing press. The owner was William Parks, the place was Willamsburg. Per- haps there had been a few small hand-presses in the Colony before 1730, but Parks's machine was the first permanent one. i The contributions which the printing press made to the Revolution have been noted often by poets, orators and historians. The press was the chief im- plement of Jefferson, as the sword was of Wash- ington and the tongue was of Henry. Mount Ver- non is a permanent memorial to the First Presi- dent; and every school boy can recite “Give me| liberty or give me death!" 8o it is fitting to re- member what William Parks did for the publicists |of the Revolution and the Republic. Parks was “a neat printer and an intelligent man of affairs.” In Virginia, as perviously in Mary- land, he was a pioneer journalist. He left £6,000 of assets and about £5,950 in liabilities when he died in 1750. But he left Virginia journalism and me- chanictl facilities therefor. He is an early Ameri- can well worth commemorating. | Seattle to Rupert. | (Prince Rupert Empire.)
