When there is discussion of propor- tional naval strength in connection With the program of armament iimita- tion the suggestion is frequently heard that some of the visiting dele- gates have become imbued with be- lef that American sentiment for limitation is so strong that this gov- ernment will be forced to consent to material modification of the Hughes proposal. If the delegates of any power are predicating their negotia- tions on that assumption they are rid- ing to a fall. They will find that American sentiment is not weak senti- mentality. That the American people are over- ‘whelmingly in favor of armament limitation is beyond a doubt. So also are they overwhelmingly in favor of fair play and the square deal. Such has been the policy of their govern- ment for so long & time that the American people think they can recog- nize a fair and square proposal when they see it. With a unanimity so gen- eral that the exceptions do not count, they think the Hughes proposal for reduction and limitation of naval armaments is fair and square. They think, in fact, that the proposal is so fair and square that it partakes rather less of hard and fast equity than it does of conspicuous generosity. Sentiment in this country in favor of armament limitation is so strong that the people will support their gov- ernment in a generous policy toward other nations invited to *the confer- ence. And sentiment in this country for fair play and square dealing is so strong that the people will support their government if it refuses to per- mit any power to take ungenerous ad- vantage of its generosity. If the repre- | sentatives of any government are p ceeding on any other theory they have made a woeful blunder in their inter- pretation of American sentiment and their attempts to understand the im- pulses of the American people. The American delegation to the arms conference put forward a pro- posal which the other attending powers accepted “in principle and in spirit.” Now there is talk that modi- fications are being urged which vio- late both the principle and the spirit of that proposal. If any such modifica- tions are insisted upon they will be re- dected by the American government, and the American people will back their government to the limit in that rejection. The sooner this fact is fully understood and appreciated, the bet- ter chance there is that the arms con- ference will have an outcome bene- flelal to all the nations concerned and in accord with the best hopes of all ‘mankind. The Legislative Mill. “%f “recent years special sessions of Congress have been somewhat the order of the day. President McKinley called one. President Taft called one. President Wilson called two. And now President Harding has started ‘with one. - £Our national legislation mill is kept ‘grinding pretty steadily. Its wheels have been turning for more than nine months- this year, and will begin to revolve again in two weeks. A good .deal of grist is brought in. The people have come to the pass of looking to Congress for many things— for too many things, some of our public men assert. The contention is that there are too many laws; that some should never have been enacted; that séme have been too hurriedly knocked together; that some are not enforced; that some, though enforced, fail to achieve their purposes. This contention is followed by the on that, instead of annually, 1gress should meet every other and then sit for only a short [ time. All of this is well enough in the way of’ assertion and speculation. But there would be grzat difficulty In put- thg it, or any part of it, into prac- tice. Every senator or representative stands for the measure he introdices, and. insists that it is worthy of atten- tion; and when he succeeds in getting it on the books he holds that it is ‘worthy of enforcement. As for the annual meeting of Con- gress, it is only necessary to point out that annual appropriations are neces- sary for the support of the govern- ment, and that appropriations made 100 far in advance might not meet the requirements. Besides, the Constitu- tion requires the annual meeting. —————— The traffic policeman is not a con- spicuous official, but recent events have emphasized the obligation that society is under to him. Some years must pass before France and Germany will cease to accuse each other of being militaristic nations. ‘ Last Call for Mr. Lloyd George. Mr. Lloyd George seems to be still undecided about the visit to Washing- ton. If he will confer with M. Briand he will make the journey. The French orator and statesman enjoyed his visft, and has left for home with very pleasant feelings for America and her people. His acknowledgments, both here and in New York, were hand- somely expressed. Much the same interest attaches to “Mr. Lioyd George that attached to M. Briand. Both have been very success- ful in politics. Each has reached the Kfwhest post at home. Both are arators Lthe fi 3 and both have made their way largely through their ability to sway audiences with their elo- quence. M. Briand had no English, and very few of his hearers had enough French to follow him without the aid of an in- terpreter. Nevertheless, he made a profound impression by his delivery, and revealed his power as a speaker. Mr. Lloyd George would have the ad- vantage of a common tongue. His hear- ers could take him all in as he proceed- ed, and as he is fluent and nimble and 'persuasive the responses would be quick and keen. He would be facing men and women famillar with and partial to popular oratory. It would be a long trip to give Americans a taste of his oratorical quality, but it might pay beyond the tribute that would certainly be offered him as one of the most sucressful men of his gen- eration. Neither the British case in Mr. Bai- four’s hands nor that of France in the hands of M. Viviani will lack for able conduct. The one is a former premier of England, the other a former pre- mier of France, and both are as expert at the conference table as in a legis- lative assembly. The National Gallery of Art. In the annual report of the Commis- sion of Fine Arts, which constitutes an inspiring survey of the prospective development of the National Capital, is a reference to the projected National Gallery of Art. For this institution, it states, the space on the Mall between 7th and 9th streets, now occupied by tergporary buildings, is reserved for a building to hold the national gallery, under the control of the Smithsonian Institution. Last Wednesday evening the thou- sands who attended the reception given by the citizens of Washington to the visiting delegates to the arms con- ferencq pgssed through a series of rooms set apart in the National Mu- seum for the display of the paintings that now constitute the national gal- lery. This collection is not extensive, but it is choice, comprising some ex- ceptionally fine works of art, with a wide range of style and treatment. Considering the conditions in which it is accommodated ‘it is admirably dis- played. But it has not a suitable em- placement. It forms merely part of a great scientific collection in incorn- gruous association. There is no space for expansion. In its present quarters the national gallery cannot grow save at the expense of the scientific ex- hibits for which the building is pri- marily designed. Recently it was announced that a commission had been formed to super- vise the assemblage of a great collec- tion of American art works of the highest quality in expansion of the national gallery. These works are to be obtained by gift or by loan, and in some cases by purchase. The purpose | is to create here in Washington a rep- ! resentative American gallery under the auspices of the Smithsonian Insti- tution. Obviously_a definite separate home for this collection is necessary. The additions are sure to come in a short time. Unless the present collec- tion is to be huddled and crowded in its immediate quarters the separate building indicated in the Commission of Fine Arts report should be provided for and started at once. The construction of a permanent home for the National Gallery of Art will not be & matter of two or three years. Bearing in mind the length of time required to construct an ordinarv government office building, it is fair to predict that such a gallery struc- ture would take no less than five years to complete. Would. it not be well, therefore, to start now with plan mak- ing on a definitely duthorized program so that by the time the gifts begin to come in expansion of the national gal- lery this permanent home wiil be ready? . ————————— A valuable result of the recent re- ception by Washington to the dele- gates will be to call attention to the wonderful, picturesque and instruc- tive collections in the National Mu- seum, where the brilliant function was held. Objects of scientific and ethnological interest are too often neglected merely because they are close at hand. The National Museum is an institution which no citizen can afford to neglect, and the hours of gayety which passed within its walls should prove an incentive to much serious and productive thought. —_—————————— much business to look after that it can hardly be expected to maintain the pace for social activity that was set by Bernstorff. —_———————— any assistance from them. —————————— beer to the lis his biographer. —_—— The Japanese Regency. Yoshihito, is perial office by Yoshihito. July 30, 1912, or less than ten years. His eldest son, Prince Hirohito, who now becames regent, will be twenty- one in April next.

While the formal declaration of the regency makes no such suggestion, an official bulletin issued simultaneously stated that the emperor's mental condition ‘was such as to preclude his “further attention to state duties.” This clearly signifies that there is little if any chance of a resumption of the im- The Emperor of Japan who thus re- tires from service is now but a little past forty-two years of age. He has been on the throne of Japan since rowed the actual authority of the em- or. He has just completed an ex- nsive tpur. Soon his marriage to the| daughter of his father's cousin will, take place. Little light has been thrown yet upon the reason for the immédiate | action at Tokio. 'Emperor Yoshihito's condition has been,one of physical in- competence for some time. It has been known to be from a cause not permit- ting improvement. In all probability the regency has been delayed until Hirohito's arrival at such an age as to enable him in person to carry on the formalities and ceremonies of the im- perial office. The tour abroad was doubtless arranged with that in view. In all likelihood this present announce- ment is but the culmination of a long- considered plan. Little effect on the domestic or in- ternational political situation of Ja- pan is to be looked for in this change. The policies and the administration of the empire are not determined by the will of the emperor. While under the constitution of 1889 the emperor has plenary powers, in fact, the real gov- ernment of Japan is vested in what may be styled an inner-ministry of representatives of the two leading clans, who in turn control the formal ministries and in effect the parlia- mentary body. Thus Hirohito suc- ceeds to his father’s status of emperor in name though not in authority. Conference Going Well. It was not believed that the arms limitation conference could proceed without coming upon points of dis- agreement. Its course has been re- markably smooth, and there is reason to hope that what are now disagree- ments, or which are reported to be disagreements, will be reduced to agreements. The reported difference between the delegations of Great Brit- ain and China over the interpretation of certain general principles which have been accepted, and the criticism of Briand and France by Curzon for Great Britain are both, if one may use the phrase, extra-conferential, having come up outside the conference. Disagreements were to be expected and are to be expected. This is & con- jference of great nations and not e love feast. Some of these nations have at times been enemies and then allies. Some of them have been what are called “traditional enemies.” They have been, and still are, rivals in trade. Some of them have been rivals in seeking and securing territorial and commercial advantages over nations not strong emough to make their pro- tests effective, but we are all friends now, or honestly trying to be friends, and the spirit, plus the necessity, which has brought us together should be stimulated by all fair means. The conference is young yet, and the world is full of hope that adjustments will be made tending to international con- cord, the preservation of peace or the indefinite postponement of war. i less propaganda. 4 France has so often been the battle ground of Europe that many of her people have come to regard an army as an absolute necessity. 1 The submarine has at least attained the dignity of being regarded in some quarters as a necessary evil. i There are authorities on interna- tional matters who fear that despite their candid avowal of aversion to may find money forced upon them. § ————— Despite his disappointments as to other chairs of distinction, Col.

Who’s Who VI—Admiral Baron Tomosaburo Kato Save Money : Read Seven Books For the Cost of One By Renting Them From Atthe Arms COI'I‘B rence LENDER, about the average height of the Japanese, with th face of a student and a states man, Admiral Baron Tomosa- buro Kato, head of the Japanese mis- sion to the limitation of armament canference, does not give the impres- sion, at first glance, of a naval hero. But once he speaks, his firm tone and voice of command make it easy to understand that he has commanded men in action. Yet the baron does+not speak in a loud tone, either in addressing the in- ternational conference or in_ talking with persons who visit the Japanese mission. He, unlike many of his col- leagues, does not speak English, though he understands the language to some extent. Except for an occa- sional smile, Baron Kato's face is grave, almost austere. aron Kato is sixty-three years old. though he gives the appearance, at least to western eyes, of being many years younger. He was selected to head the Japanese mission to the lim- itation of armament conference not because he has a splendid record as a naval officer, but because in his own country he is recognized as a born statesman. He has keen insight and broad-minded visio: He makes no attempt at oratory, but speaks con- cisely and to the point. He is never at a loss for an answer to a question. The head of the Japanese mission is credited with a strong bent toward peace, although he has been for so many years an officer of the navy. He was born in Hiroshima, and at the age of twenty-four became a mid- shipman in the Japanese navy. He e through the various grades to the rank of captain and was appoin! ed a professor at the Japanese Naval Academy. Later still, he was ap- pointed a construction supervisor and then a sectional chief in the navy de- partment. In 1902 Baron Kato was appointed chief of staff of a standing squadron. It was during the critical period of the Russo-Japanese war that he ren- dered distinguished service as chief of staff of the Kamimura squadron, which was charged with the duty of guarding the Japan sea, and partic- ularly with guarding the transporta- tion of Japanese soldiers and sup- plies to the mainland.

After the war he be- came vice minister of the navy de- partment. When war was declared many Baron Kato was made Experimental Rate Cutung. Like Davy Crockett's coon, railroad freight rates have decided to “come down” without the persuasion of fire- arms. The announcement of a 10 per cent reduction in Shipping rates on farm products for all parts of the country except New England is ac- companied by a statement from rail- 1oss of $55,000.000 in annual revenue— wherefore editors are trying to esti- mate the singleness of purpose in- volved in what some of them call “a notable concession.” The rate cut is, of course, welcomed by all the press, gratefully, but it has a number of angles, and, particularly in those pa- pers which are closest to the farmer, enthusiasm is tempered by the small- ness of the relief. “1f these reductions are what they nois State Journal (Springfield, re- publican) is hopeful that “they indi- cate a solution of the problem of freight rates by the voluntary action of the carriers themselves.” At any rate, the railroads are applying “a heroic remedy,” as the New York Trib- une (republican) sees in the ef- fort “to_check the falling off of traf- fic which has marked railroad epera- tions in the last twelve months.” bas- ing their action on what the Buffalo Express _ (independent republican) speaks of as “the purely conjectural increase in traffic due to the reduc tios It is indeed an “experiment,” according to the Philadelphia Bulletin (independent republican), “limited present to a period of six mont and “if it shall facilitate the move- ment of the class of freight” affected “it_will no doubt become permanent and may be spread to other classes of freight.” The New York World (democratic). while declaring that that amount of money “is a large sum to surrender in their present financial condition,” is not so sure that it will prove to be merely “a generous sacrifice.” The railroads “have been selling trans- portation at a price that the public could not afford to pay.” the World says, and “merchants who have faced a consumers’ strike because of ex- cessive prices since the war could tell them how they have profited by reducing prices and selling more goods.” Rate reductions are merely “in the line of intelligent self-inter- est,” comments the Lincoln (Neb.) State Journal (independent republi- can), and because of that fact railroad spokesmen “might have spared us the tale of their generous sacrifice in mak- ing the concessions,” for certainly “the rallroads will be better off haul- ing corn at 10 off than seeing the corn burned for fuel, ecially as this may also mean more “coal haul- ing at full rates.” And, of course, as many writers point out, increased traffic is not all of the story. So far as this “volun- tary” action of the roads in reducing rates is concerned, the Springfield Union (republican) brings out the fact that reduction could come about in no other way as matters now stand, because under the transportation act the Interstate Commerce Commission “must fix rates to enable the roads to earn at least 5% per cent on their investment value” and the commis- now powerless to act.” sion i Therefore, “the only governmental agenoy that can compel a correspond- ing reduction in costs is the Labor Board.” and “if the voluntary rates are allowed to stand, it becomes a question whether it is not the legal duty of the Labor Board to reduce the cost of operation.” By declaring that “they are not financially able to make this reduction” and “are de- pending on the people to grant them relief from high wages and labor costs,” the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle (republican) believes the railroad executives have merely pass- ed “the onus of the whole problem to the Labor Board.” The New York Post (independent), however, feels that this action shows that the roads “are in earnest In their desire to help restore the cost of doing business to a workable basis,” but it insists that the “corollary of such reductions” must of necessity be “corresponding reductions in railroaa wages,” for, since “earnings are still materially below the fair return contemplated in the transportation act,” it is evi- dent that “this sort of thing cannot go very far without compensating savings in operating expenses” At the same time, the Elmira Star-Ga- zette (independent) suggests, ‘per- haps they had better not be too ur- gent now in maintaining that a 10 per cent reduction on some kinds of freight entitles them to ocut wages 20 per oent.” Why They Stop Teaching. A young man, college trained and interested in his work, is leaving the teaching profession after four years of activity. In a current magasine he asks the question, “Why do one hun- dred thousand teachers leave the pro- ression each year!?' and proceeds to answer it from hid own observations.

The Allied Debt Specter. The failure of the Senate to pass the bill for refunding the foreign debts due this country before the meeting of the arms conference, and the prospects of further delayed ac- tion on it for some weeks, places the administration at a disadvantage i the conference that may prove seri- ously embarrassing to it in the effort to confine the discussions to the chief points of the submitted agenda. The great anxlety of the President to have this refund authorized before the meeting was ignored by the Senate, and thus the situation for which it ‘was hoped the measure would afford temporary easement for the stress of the allies threatens to project itself into the conference discussjons as a disturbing factor. Once the issue of the disposition of forelgn indebtedness gets into con- ference America will find itself faced with proposals by the participating debtor nations which it cannot possi- bly afford to accept.
