Seeing the great function they perform alike in state and nation, taey may well con- tinue the worthy objects of admiration and confidence. Wherever legisiative bodies have been lowered in the public estimate. the foremost duty of the peo- e is to seek their re-establishment and restoration. Rule of Reason. “The souice o1 autnority, the source of liberty, lies in the people themselves, but the safest repository of necessary public authority, the firmest and stanchest guardians of liberty, are the epresentative parliamentary ‘bouies of the world. Unless through them there can be provided security against tRe yule of force, and a guarantee of the rule of reasom, it cannot be provided at all. ‘One of the most difficult problems for the legislator of the present day is 2 inguish between the advocates of private interest and public welfare.

The assurance that if the present ccnference is a success China's devel- opment will go forward with rapid strides was expressed Wednesday night by Dr. Yun Sing Tsao, assistant sevre tary general of the Chinese delega- tion, at a meeting of the Women's Yity Club. “If the conference is a failure China will eventually find her- |sc~ll, become unified and work out her own rehabilitation,” he sald, “but it will be a slow and arduous process.” The future of the Japanese and Chi- nese nations must be so closely inter- related, the speaker declared, that perfect understanding and fairness annual dinner last night, | in all dealings with each other will be essential for the progress of both.

The majority of the democrats in the United States Senate are opposed at present to the ratification of the four-power pact between the United States, Great Britain, Japan and France with respect to the islands of the Pacific. Until Senator Oscar Underwood, democratic leader and member of the American delegation, which signed the treaty, has an opportunity to ex- press his views there will be no formal opposition to the pact. If the treaty were submitted to a vote today it would pass by a com- fortable margin, notwithstanding the democratic opposition, as for the mo- ment the line-up is hardly different from that which developed when the last treaty with Germany was ratified The foregoing analysis of the sit- vation comes from democratic leaders who have the highest respect and af- foction for Senator Underwood, but who insist that it was a mistake for im to sign a treaty phrased as am- biguously as they believe is the four- power pact. Opjosition to the treaty was not very pronounced at the out- set. But the unmistakable fact is that the developments of the last two i have been harmful to the treaty's prospects. Growing Opposition Seen. The discovery that the treaty in- cluded the mainland of Japan and that the United States actually agreed in secget session to an interpretation which covered the islands of Japan proper within the scope of the pact has unquestionably had an effect. President Harding’s own misconcep- tion of what the treaty covered has been responsible for the turn in demo- cratic sentiment and for a growing opposition among republicans. Even the most ardent supporters of the President will concede that the situa- LOUDOUN COUNTY LEADS IN ARMAMENT INTEREST No Other Section of Country So‘ Thoroughly Organized, Re- port Here Says. | To Loudoun county, Va., is ascribed the honor for the most intensive or- ganjzation in the interest of limitation vihich the International conference here was called, by a report made yes- terday by the National Council for Limitation of Armaments. No other section of the country, ac- cording to the report, is so thoroughly organized. Every man, woman and child living In the county is eligible for membership in the county council for limitation of armament, of which Mrs. H. J. Hoge is chairman. Three county editors form the publicity committee. Presidents of the two cham- bers of commerce are on the speakers’ committee. The. membership commit- tee is formed of former service men. Within ten days. recently meetings were heid in the county. A prize essay competition has been started _in schools and Mrs. Rachel Davis Dubois has just completed a week's speaking tour in the county. Organizations already represented in the council are the Farmers' Club, the Home Club, the Book Club, the Pur- cellville Women's Club, the Women's CEristian Temperance Union, County Teachers' Association and the Episcopal, Methodist, Presbyterian and the two Quaker congregations. NEED OF ECONOMIC MEETING DEGLARED Statement of Attitude Has Been Issued by Backers of Arms Limitation. Necessity of an international eco- nomic conference for the adjustment of an international economic crisis, affecting America as well as other tion has hardly been improved by the discussion over the ambiguity of the phrases in the treaty covering the mainland of Japan. Already there is talk of reservations to “clarify.” but Senator Lodge is re- ported in Senate cloakrooms as hav- ing said that any reservations would “ruin the treaty.” The democrats who are unalterably opposed to the pact, even with reservations, are { bound to make the most of Senator Lodge's attitude if this should prove to be his ultimate conclusion, for it I was Mr. Lodge who insisted upon a long series of reservations to the Ver- sailles treaty and contended that Pres- ident Wilson had fair warning of the Senate’s attitute in the round robin which was circulated just after the covenant was published. To this the democratic leaders re- ply that no opportunity was given for study of the text of the treaty be- fore it was signed and that the meas- jure was negotiated in secret session. The democrats plan as one step in their campaign against the treaty to call for the proceedings of the secret sessions in order to learn what other things the American delegation may have agreed to besides the French and British interpretation that the main- land of Japan was covered in the pact. May Answer Through Underwoed. To this sort of tactics it is not only probable but most likely that Presi dent Harding will answer through Oscar Underwood. democratic leader, who as a member of the American delegation is presumed to be aware of everything that transpired. Those democrats who anticipate that Mr. Underwood will be committed to vote for the ratification of the treaty in sist that he Is the last man in the world to ask anybody in the Senate to vote against his convictions, as he himself has maintained the same right in the past and has encouraged inde- pendence of action. The feeling has been growing among democrats that Mr. Underwood made a. mistake in accepting membership on the Amefican delegation, in whose de- cisions he represented only a minority voice and over whose actions he had So little to say, since he has not been a member of either the committee which negotiated 'the naval agree- ment or the four-power pact, and was in the position of having to accept what his three republican colleagues did without being able to adopt a dis- senting course. Has Faithful Friends. Mr. Underwood, however, is sur- rounded by a faithful group of friends in the Senate who will support him on the four-power pact as they did on the German treaty. The danger to ratification lies rather in the possibil- ity of a democratic coalition. Sena- tor McNary of Oregon, republican, wants reservations. Senator Kenyon of Iowa, republican, is reported as un- decided. Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, democrat, who voted for the German treaty and indicated some time agp that he might favor the four-power pact, is inclined to be open-minded about the new treaty and await the outcome of the whole conference be- fore reaching a decision. Senator Johnson of California, republican, is in his native state now keeping his ear to the ground there. Some demo- cratic senators think Mr. Johnson will support the treaty in order to assure himself of administration support in his campaign for re-election next vear, as there have been rumors of Herbert Hoover enterfng the race against Mr. Johnson. Those who know the California senator best ridicule such an assertion and insist that he will make up his mind on the four- power pact irrespective of political consequences.

Cable advices to friends here in- forming them of the cause of the illness of Willlam Warwick Corcoran of this city, American consul at Boulogne, have revealed the fact that the “handsome Englishman” who saved the life of a boy drowning in the sea near the cliffs of Boulogne- sur-Mer was Mr. Corcoran himself. Mr. Corcoran at present is oon- fined to the consulate with a serious case of pneumonia. It developed that he was the man described as “the handsome Englishman” who refused to give his name and made a quiet| departure after leaping into the sea and rescuing the drowning bo It was originally thought that the | recurer was an English visitor to Boulogne. Mr. Corcoran was trans- ferred to Boulogne only a short time ago after a critical illness with tropical fever in Madras, Indla. He made a commendatory record during the world war as a first lieutenant in command of a machine gun battalion in the Argonne, where he was gassed. Upon entering the consular service after the war, he was first sent to Bombay, India. —_— e For Colds, Grip or Influensa Preventive, take Laxative Tablets. The .:n(u&.“ eare tho aig.

The London Chronicle, semi-official jorgan of Lloyd George, declares that {Great Britain should appropriate the plan for an international economic conference. From a purely British standpoint much would be gained by a conference assembled with the United States on the side lines—an Amerlcan delegation par- ticipating without a vote or responsi- bility. Such a conference would witness the continuation of the struggle be- tween France and England, but the country which had taken the initia tive would have the advantage. Al- ready the Chronicle stipulates that Germany and soviet Russia should be invited from the beginning—auto- matically increasing the anti-French forces by these two powers. which makes French acceptance of such a scheme most improbable. “America holds the economic bal- ance of power. There is no other force in the world capable of putting {an end to the political balance of power, which, as long as the funda- mental financial and commercial problems, reparations and debts re- main unsolved, will keep national enmitles alive and make half the world an armed camp. in spite of partial and temporary disarmament. “Without entering into any purely European or near eastern questions, America, acting for our own trade and financial interests, will be able, within reasonable limits, to dictate a plan co-operation among our debtors and customers.

President Harding has signed the Russian relief bill, which carries ap- propriations of $20,000,000 to be’ex-! pended under the supervision of the American relief administration. The funds become immediately available. American grain is expected to bej moving to Russia for the relief of the famine-stricken population of that coun- try within cight or ten days, Secretary Hoover announced yesterday. Purchase of the grain, for which an appropriation of $20,000,000 is made in a bill on which action by Congress was completed yesterday, will start today, Mr. Hoover said. In the meantime, the Commerce Secretary announced that negotiations are In progress between the American relief administration and the soviet government for an arrange- ment by which the soviet authorities would use the remainder of the un pledged gold taken from the old Rus- sian imperial treasury in importing foodstuffs to aid famine relief in mcl Volga basin. The negotiations have been in progress for some time and are proceeding satisfactorily. Russia Must Do Kull Share. Funds held by the soviet, which would be available for this purpose are be- lived to approximate $10,000,000. The American _relief administration, Mr. Hoover said, has strongly expressed the view that the American people cannot expected to contribute charity on a ge scale unless the soviet authorities also expend their every resource in mitigation of suffering among the Rus- sian people. On completion of legislative action, accomplished through the adoption by the Senate of the conference report, the bill for Russian relief was sent to the President. The measure he has signed authorizes the President to pur- |ehase through such agency as he may designate in the United States for trans- port in American ships com, seed grain and preserved milk for the dis- tressed of Russia. > Shipping Board to Co-Operate.
