For upon it as a basis will nnques- tionably come other undergtandings 7 and pledges directly in the 'ine of the purpose for which the conf. *ence was called. The three-power najil reduc- tion pledge on what is known as the 5-5-3 ratio is now confidentiv expect- ed. Agreements have been tumtatively reached, though not yet wriiisu into the form of protocols, for the res*ora- tion of national rights to China and the material clearance of the political relations between that power and Ja- pan. Whether the conference can ef- fect the full restitution which China asks and which sympathy for:China dictates is not now assured. But in , any case what has been framed in outline and agreed upon in principle is a definite and material recovery by China of her integrity and independ- ence of action. To those who predicted a ‘“water haul” for the arms conference these achievements are a bitter disappoint- - ment. They figured upon the employ * ment of outworn methods of dipio- macy, upon subterfuges and evasions, counting in the final situation against results. They did not reckon upon the straightforward act of the American delegation at the first moment of the cession, when Secretary Hughes pro- posed a program for naval reduction, sweeping away at a stroke the ob- stacles which conventional negotiation would have created. Step by step the conference has proceeded in both pri- vate meetings and in plenary sessions to straightforward, distinct proposals and actlons. But everything has taken its course from the initial move, and in a remarkably short time results are appearing, and there is now a pros- pect that within two months from the date of meeting the Washington con- ference will have yielded international agreements making more definitely for the peace of the world than any other settlements ever before recorded in history. i Harmony. The need of harmony in circles re- sponsible for legislation is frankly confessed. At present “there ain’t no such animile.”” The House resents the freedom the Senate is exercising on | change market forward movement. 1For francs and marks and lire and |crowns are affected by the .same {forces, however they may represent political antagonisms. —_————e——— | Increase the Court! { With the possibility of another pro- | tracted federal case brought before the | District Supreme Court in the near | future, the question of the condition of the local bench is brought again to lattention, and the hope is that Con- 'Bress will realize the need of addi- tional judges for this jurisdiction. The case has been often stated before, but it is well to state it once more briedly, to stress the need of early action. The District bench has remained at its present size of six judges for many vears. Since the last addition the busi- {ness of the court has multiplied sev- | eral times. Cases of much greater im- | portance than ever before have come before it. The Washington jurisdic- i tion is chosen by the government and iby claimants and suitors against the {government for the settlement of causes, both criminal and civil, which in former years were heard before the federal courts in other jurisdictions. { With the growth of the governmental | organization, and since the war began, | the District court has been the scene of a greatly increasing number of is- sues, with the result of a steadily growing arrears of cases. Since the organization of the Dis- trict Court of Appeals it, too, has been }gradua]ly congested until now it is fully a vear and a half behind its cur- rent work, despite the utmost dili- gence on the part of the three judges of that bench. Just as an illustration of the pressure upon the Court of Ap- peals may be cited the fact that the rent law gave that court first and vir- tually sole jurisdiction cver appeals from the housing commission. There is work enough in the Court of Ap- peals now for two more judges re- gardless of any increase in the size of the court below. A bill has passed the House for the addition of twenty-two judges to the federal bench, to be distributed among the states. In the House, when the measure was under consideration, an amendment was adopted providing that judges of the Court of Customs Appeals might be assigned to the Su- House bills.

Yesterday the foreign exchange market showed the most decided advance in many months. Sterling rose from $4.14 to $4.20, making a new high, about 75 cents above the quotation of a year ago. Sterling is now steadily advanc- ing toward par, which is $4.86. The advance in French francs was from 7.83 cents on Saturday to 8.22 cents, being now slightly more than 11 cents belgw par, but 2.36 cents above the quotation of last year. Italian lire ad- vanced less markedly, rising from 4.46 cents to 4.56 cents, as against 3.49 cents a year ago.

The republicans are approaching a cent to 60/100. This, however, repre- sents a declded decrease from a year « ago, when it was quoted at 1.36 cents. All of these changes signify in- creased confidence in international stability. In regard to France the ef- fect of the treaty is mainly moral.

Uninstructed by the ex- perfence of the democrats fifteen years before, the republicans got into an angry dispute over tariff rates and schedules in the first months of the Taft administration, lost the next | Congress to the demecrats, and two yvears later were swept completely out of power: Revising the tariff, therefore, is a matter “not to be entered upon un- advisedly or lightly, but discreetly, ad- visedly, soberly.” And at this time in particular, for not only American conditions but world conditions of a business nature are unprecedented for dislocations and embarrassments. Nevertheless, the party has prom- ised revision, the President has recom- i mended it, and Congress must per- ! form the service as well as may be. The sooner, the better.

If there is to be more fighting for sovietists in Russia, Trotsky would be justified in insisting that next time it is Lenin’'s turn to be sent to the front.

That the conference haa & good line on the experts com- posing the various delegations prob- ably has not been better demonstrat- ed than in the selection of Chevalier de Wouters of Belgium to serve on the committee to {investigate the question of extraterritoriality in China. Chevalier de Wouters is one of the three techrilcal advisers of the Bel- gian delegation. The Belgians have not sought to project themselves into the spotlight of the Washington meeting. They have been content to play a modest role. But among the conference leaders the impression has been boring in that they prob: ably understand conditions in China better than the representatives of any of the western nations partici- pating in the conference. That sen- timent crystallized in the appoint- ment given Chevaller de Wouters. As ex-legal adviser to China and as a banker helping to develop her re- sources, this member of the Belgian delegation has had his finger upon the pulse of China's awakening for a quarter of a century. There is no phase of her resurrection he is not familiar with. And, as a member of the extrater- ritoriality committee, he was of in- valuable aid to his associates through his ability to give them first-hand information bearing upon velopment of China's legal system. Following a ten-year service in Belgium’'s foreign office, Chevalier de Wouters entered upon his assign- ment as legal adviser to the Chinese government in 1896. He spent three years in this position. They were the eventful years that saw the be- ginning of China's commercial de- velopment. The young Belgian law- ver decided to leave the government service and embark upon a business ca- reer. He sensed the coming opportuni- ties in China for forelgn capital. Back in his own country, he was not long in forming connections that launched him successfully into the banking business. For centuries Bel-! @ium had maintained missions in, China, and the chevalier did not en-! a lack of interest among his | counter countrymen in the opportunities de- picted for profitable investment in Chinese enterprises. A conservative and cautious counselor, his advice soon was being sought by large com- panies that contemplated the build- ing of railroads, the opening of mines and_other constructive undertakings in China. It is said that not one Belgian en- terprise in China—and a large percen- Rage of them bear the stamp of Chevalied de Wouters' approval—has been a failure. This man, who, a quarter of a century ago, vVisioned what was in store for the yellow em- pire and had the courage to lead com- mercial pioneers into her vast domain, today is vice president of one of the most powerful financial houses of Belglum—the Banque Belge pour tranger. He ranks among Bel- gium's biggest men of finance. It was no small tribute to the Chi- nese that the Belgian delegation, of all the delegations at the conference, the de- | CHEVALIER DE WOUTERS. | first approved the declaration of prin- ciples submitted by the far_eastern republic. Like Chevalier de Wouters, | the other members of the Belgian i conference unit have been in China and understand_the conditions there thoroughly. M. Felicien Cattier heads a Brussels bank that has been active in aiding Chinese projects. M. Jules Jadot, the third technical adviser, is manager of the Lung-Hai railroad. Baron de Cartier, Belgian ambassa- i dor to the United States and the only Belgian delegate to the arms and far east parley, many times has visited China. These men acted with an inti- mate knowledge of the character of the Chinese and their capacity for self-government when they approved the declaration of principles, amount- ing, practically, to a declaration of independence, presented to the con- ference by the Chinese delegates [ They did not stop here, but gave their sanction to the proposal for | the abolition of extraterritoriality in China as soon as the Chinese shall have demonstrated that they are ca- pable of Yaking over the full admin- istration of justice in that country. Chevalier de Wouters knows the his- tory of China's legal as well as com- meraial _development of the past twenty-five vears. He is posted upon the progress that has been made in the drafting of civil and criminal codes. He has analyzed the Chinese mind with respect to its ability to absorb the analogies of the law and ) administer justice according to west- { ern precepts. | This much he is willing to stand l upon now: That the Chinese have de- veloped in the law to the point that warrants the conviction they are po- tentially capable of perfecting and maintaining adequate machinery for the admiWistration of justice. As to the time when they should be given full control of the judiciary, he believes only a study ef conditions in China will ‘enable the committee to safely advise the powess that are in- | terested in this important subject. EDITORIAL DIGEST More Relief for the Railroads. When =& rallroad strike was in the making two months ago there was considerable talk that the proposed walkout was intended to influence the Rallroad Labor Board in the mat- ter of revising working agreements.
