A coal fire, from the nature of coal itself, gets hét slowly and cools off slowly. For this reason it cannot maintain an even temperature inside : the house when the weather outside is variable. coal fire responds slowly and inadequately to sthermostatic control. On the other hand " . with Nokol the thermostat maintains the temperature at just the point you wish, @ i‘ no matter what the weather is i A sudden drop from freezing to zero will not disturb the even temperature of a Nokol-heated home, because the response of the Nokol heater to the thermostat isinstantaneous. - A Nokol installation will cause no interrup- #iéh of any consequence in your heating.

' THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON,D,.'C, DECEMBER 11, 1921—PART 1.~ Historical Utterances by Spokesmen For Four Great Powers Which Agree To Preserve Peace in the Far East In déclaring adherence of th governn’lent: to the four-power Pa- cific treaty, the official spokesmen for Great Britain and Japin delivered addresses at yesterday's plenary session of the France, the United States, ‘mament conference, the texts of which become historical documents. ' The speech of Senator Lodge and extracts from the others were published in yesterday’s Star, but, because of their epochal char- acter and far-reaching significance, they are reproduced, in full, below: HENRY CABOT LODGE i For the United States. 1 should be insensible, indeed, it 1 did not feel deeply gratified by the opportunity which his come to me to Jay before the conference | draft of a treaty, the terms of which have been agreed upoh by four of the great powers of the earth in rekard to the fslands of the Pacific, which they control, either as possessions or dominfons. I will begin by:reading to the cem- ference the treaty, which is both brief and simple, and yet I am sure is full of meaning and importance t6 the ~world’s peace. (Senator Lodge here read the text of the treaty priated above.) The signing of this treaty is, on the part of the United States, sub- ect to the making of & convention with Japan concerning the tus of the Island of Yap and what are termed ¢he mandated islands in the Pacific ocean north of the equater, the negotiations in regard to which are almost concluded, and slso t> the reservations with respect to what are termed the mandated islands in the Pacific ocean seuth of the equator. It should the controversies to which the pro- posed treaty refers do not embra Questions which, according to pri ciples of international law, lie e: clusively within the domestic juris- diction of the respective powers. “The conference will perceive be observed that that I spoke correctly when I re- ferred to the terms of the treaty as simple. To put it in a few words, the treaty provides that the four signatory powers will agree as between themselves to respect their insular possessions and'de- minicns in the region of the Pa- cific, and that if any controv <hould arise as to such rights the high contracting parties shali be invited to a joint conference looking to the adjustment of such controversy. They agree to take similar action in the case of ag- gression by any other-power upon these insular possessions or do- minions. The agreement is to r main in force for ten years, and after ratification under osa- stitutional methods of the high coptracting parties the existing agreement between Great Britain and Japan, which was concluded at London on July 13, 1911, shall ter- minate. And at s C| signer is bound to’ pect the rights of the others and before taking action in any controversy to consult with them. There is no provision for the use of force to carry out any of the terms of the agreement, and nc military eor naval sanction lurks anywhere in the background or under cover of these plain and direct clauses. ‘The surest way to prevent war is to remove the causes of war. This \s an attempt to remove causes of war over & great area of the globe's surface by reliance upo: the good faith and honest inten- tions of the nations which sign tha treaty, solving all differences through' the processes of diplomacy and joint consideration and con- ciliation. No doubt we shall hear it sald that the region to which this agreement applies is one most unlikely to give birth to serious disputes, and, therefo n agree- ment of this character of Jittle consequence. History unhappily has shown that there is no coraer of the earth so remote or 50 value- less that it is not capable of giving cause for controversy or even fop war between the tribes and the ne- tions of mankind. But the islaris of the Pacific, although remote from the dwelling places of ths mass of humanity, are far from valueless. ‘The islands of the southwestern Pacific extend over a vast space in that great ocean. They reach from the Marquesas on' the east.to the Philippines on the west; from the Aleutian Islands on the north near- 1y to the Antarctic Circle on the south. They are far more numess ous than is generally realized. I do not know what the total nume ber is, but I am informed as to Philippines, and it appears that this group alons contains more than 3,100 islands, of which 1,600 have names. We have all prob- ably heard of the remark of Rob- ert Louis Stevenson, when, on leaving one of the Pacific islands, he was asked how he was going to Samoa. He replied that he should just go out and turn to the left. These islands are, comparatively speaking, so dense that we might describe them in the words of Browning as the Sprinkled isles, Lily on lily that o'eriace the sea— And yet the regionm through scatt ‘which they that the i d s 80 vast 3 of Greeca and the Aegean s and in poetry, could easily be lost therein and continue unnoticed ex- cept by wandering seamen or stray adventurers. They range from Australia, continental in magni- tude, to atolls where thero are ne dwellers but the builders of the coral reefs or lonely rock ocean’s floor miles of water before they af the western and the eastern world alike most of e southwestern There of the little known. still lingers about them the 80 pelling and so fascinating ‘which an undiscovered country has for the sons of men who are weary of main traveled roads and the trampled highways 6f trade and commerce which e:hver the surface. & the sto- ries of Melville and the writings of Robert Louis Stevenson, te whom the south seas gave both & grave and & monument imperish- able as his own fame.

We made the experiment here in this treaty of trylng to assure ice In that immense region by trusting the preserva- tion of its tranquillity to the good the -tlonu.gu onsible for ‘The world hi just passe: through a war the very memory of which makes us shudder. We all believe deep in our hearts that this hideous destruction of life, this suffering and ruin which stili heset us, must not be permitted to come again if we can prevent it. If the nations of the earth are stil] in the innermost recesses of their consciousness planning or dreaming of coming wars and longing for conquests, no treaties of partition and no alliances can stay them; but if, as I firmly hog‘:. the world has learned a frightful lesson from the awful experiences of the great war of 1914, then our surest appeal in order to prevent wars in the future must be to the hearts, the sympathle and the hi, n apj this agreement among four great nations. We rely upon their good faith to carry out the terms of this instrument, knowing that by 8o doing they will prevent war should controversies ever arise among them. If this spirit prevails snd rules we can have no better support than the faith of nations. For one I devoutly believe the spirit of the world is such that we can trust to the good faith and the high purposes which the treaty I h“h. |Alfl before you embodies and enshrines. “Agreements of this kind, I know, have often been made be- fore, only to fail. But there has been a Tfar-reaching change In mental condition of men and wom- en everywhere. That which really counts s the intention of the na- tions who make the agreement. In this hour of trial and darkness which has followed the war with Germany, the spirit of the world is . If_we enter ement, which rests only upon the will and honor of those who sign it, we at least make the great experiment and ap- peal to the men and women of the nations to help us sustain it In spirit and in truth.” M. RENE VIVIANI For France. Ia the mame of the government ot the Prench republic, whose au- therity I am borrowing now, and who speaks through my voice, I am glad to bring here, in its full amplitude without any reticence or any reservations, our full ad- besion to the pact that has Just Deen read, and which has been fol- lowed by such a penetrating and on the part of day after the France will assume all the obliga- tions that fall upon her by virtue of this pact, just as she will exer- cise the rights that she derive: from the agreement. Here, gon- tlemen, in the midst of the nations that have come to meet here, and I think all nations that are ac- customed to honor their signa- ture, I think that I am entitled to say that when speaking of the agreemeat, France enjoys a good place here, and that she has never declined to stand by her plighted word. And when there has been & question of either nding by her pledged word and honoring her signature or taking arms, nce has not hesitated to seal with the blood of her own children the treaties to which she had ap- pended her name, and she has kept oath. (‘VII‘Q Perfectly Understood. Gentlemen, the political and diplomatic value of the instru- ment which has just been , thanks to the very simple summary given by Senator Lodge, has bean perfectly understood by you. Yet I think it will be fit to tarry awhile and mark here together -the full accord of our willa It is understood between the four powers that s regards the insular possessions and dominions they will respect the rignus of each other; and {f on the hori- zon there should arise any cause of condlict or controversy, a con- troversy that cannot be settled through the usual channels of diplomacy, they wilf consult to- gether and they will concilial Should any aggression arise om the part of any power, should real danger threaten the peace of the werid in those regions, them the four mations will take counsel together and they will see what to do owing to the exigencies of the situation. And this agreement is to last ten years, while the agreement concluded between Great Britain and Japan is to terminate. That is, gentla- men, the juridical scope of the draft treaty which has just been read out, but I think we should be failing to ourselves, and to what we Owe ourselves, and to you, and especially to the very sumptuous thospitality that we have enjoyed in the United Bt}lel. it we did not try all together to g:ovr..llopa llnd (amphhllll‘ the great value of what I can historical date. e - Moved by Same Will mator Lodge has showed quite well that without any naval or military sanctions. being provid- ed, or even thought of, it was suf- ficlent that four nations had put their heads together, were ani- mated by the same will to pre- serve pea thldt was a and protection for the peac the world. i Gentlemen, room, fron ounding platform, so however wedk may be the voice of the man who speaks, it will be heard by the whole world; gentlemen, after having listened to the documents, after having thus proved our wil- lingness to col rate and co-op- erate together, I think I am en- title to say that this conference, in which we have had the honor to participate and in which we have been proud to help, has tully and entirely succeeded. i s llustrons high this high Gentlemen, when we came here ' we knew that we were taking risks to & certaln extent.
