When the National House of Representatives re- cently passed the Norris Resolution for a Consti- tutional Amendment changing the dates for con- vening sessions of Congress, termed the ‘“Lame Duck” resolution, it was greeted widely as marking the end of Congressional “lame ducks.” But th2 rejoicing was premature. Because the House amend- ed the resolution in a manner which its author con: ed objectionable and conferees from the two branches were unable to reach an agreement on the differences. ide The real cause of non-agreement was in an amendment sponsored by Speaker Longworth of the House. It would have limited the short session of Congress every second year to a maximum sit- of four months every second year Congress would meet on January 4, at which time members elected in the preceding November election would take their seats instead of waiting until the succeeding December as is now done Lc tir worth making it mandatory for adjournment of this session to be had by May 4. Mr. Norris was adamant in his opposition to this provision from which the House declined to recede. While the amendment is desirable, and even- tually will be made. no serious disaster has befallen the nation under the existing procedure. We have | become accustomed to “lame ducks” and this pro- on of their tenure, regrettable as it is, ily a fatal calamity. PINCHOT AS THlRl) PARTY LEADER.

Gifford Pinchot will head a Third Party movement and be its Presiden- | tial candidate. The new political organization which he discovers looming: on the horizon will' be dry and for Government ownership and operation power. Prohibition and power, he is will be the poular issues in the next national cam- paign. As he views the situation, there are complicating the country’s politics. Within cach of the two big parties are four groups—Dry and private ownership of power, Wet and private ownership, Dry and public ownership, Wet and public ownership. As these divisions are common to both Democrats | and Republicans there are actually eight Each has its Presidential favorite and them, disappointed in the final selections, the regular organizations if any strong available that is acceptable to them.

(New York Herald-Tribune.) The reported naval understanding between France and Ttaly transforms the London naval treaty from | a pious hope into a monmentous fact. As long m: France and Italy refused to agree to any navd \1 \llmilauon\ the way was left open for compctmw ‘naval building on the part of all the naval powers. | With France and Italy “off the reservation” the iLondon pact merely abated naval building. It will now set a definite limit for the coming five years, Although naval and miilitary estaslishments are more a symptom than a cause of world unrest, the {cessation of competition will promote a peacelul state of mind in a world which stands sorely in ‘nced of it. This applies to every nation, but it is {especially true of Europe, (tween France and Italy has poisoned the atmos- |phere for more than a year. An adjustment of | naval differences between these two countries should serve as a very tangible encouragement to the set- | | tlement of other disputes. It is also true that this settlement will at least {remove one of the many possible sources of dis- | agreement inherent in the world disarmament con- ference to be held at Geneva next year. Friendly | Franco-Italian relations may not make a success of this conference, but it is certain that hostile | feelings between these two powers would havé made | anythir approaching concrete achievement quite | impossible. Moreover, a five-power naval settle- ! ment lasting for five years is likely to make another naval conference in 1936 an even more - successful | | affair, | The benefits to the United States are not om | general but special. Congress has neglected to tal the simple and inexpensive steps L:/bx'ing the Um ed | States Navy up to the treaty allofment. If France |and Italy had started a relentless building race, naval ratios would have been increased all around. |If past experience is any guide, all the nations |except the United States would have brought them- selves to the higher limit. - American naval infer |is today.
