A full uncovering of the facts about the Siberian republic and the alleged Intrigue by certain of the powers af- fecting its status will doubtless follow the publication of charges by repre- sentatives of that government in un- official attendance upon the arms con- ference. It will be of wholesome ef- fect thus to bring to light the true circumstances of this ‘which has been somewh mystery since its Plainly disclosure is to cast suspicion upon the good faith of France and Japan in their relation to the general confer- ence. The former is immediate in denial and repudiation. The Chita delegates @s promptly disavow any purpose to injure or to throw suspicion upon ¥rance. Japan is the object of their attack. They frankly declare that the ‘Tokio government intends to set up a far eastern government under its own influence. If such is Japan's purpose, with the ultimate object of controlling Man- churia, it is well to have the fact} brought to light. Whispers have cir-| culated concerning this program ever since the conference assembled. The subject is one to be avoided. it would seem, in open discussion. But it can- not be forever postponed and prevent- ed from being considered. The Chita } incident, therefore, whatever the foun- dation for the charges made by the delegates, will have Leen well worth while if it results in a full ventilation of this matter. The issues of the far east are direct- 1¥ before the conference. All matters pertaining to peace in Asia are prop- erly subject to discussion and adjust-} ment. The Chita government is in di- rect line of consideration. The rela-! tions between it and Russia, or Japan, must be made known, and determina- ~tion must be had upon the point of | recognition by the powers and the de- gree of responsibility on their part for its protection, if it is worthy of ac- ceptance as a distinct organization. | The difficult question of Russia en-! ters into the equation. How far is the Chita government allied to or identi- fied with the soviet? What are the ac- tual relations between Japan and both the soviet and the Chita republic?| France appears to be out af the ques. | tion. This simplifies the matter. The conference may now proceed to ascer- tain the true state of affairs in that area of the far east that is most plain- 1y the trouble zone of Asia. organization, t shrouded in | ion. Down, Now, to Case: Now for business, until the business | on Capitol Hill has been dispatched.} The holidays are over. Not another re- | cess like that taken last fall. Con- gress cannot afford another breathing | spell. The weather will not suggest it. The country would not stand for it. The country is to be considered now, first thing. Not only is it in impatient mood, but the time approaches when it will render formal judgment on the state of the Union. The ballot boxes will be opened on a Tuesday morning next November, and when they are closed again late that afternoon the complexion of the Sixty-eighth Con- gress will stand decided. The legislators when they reassem- ‘bled after their month's recess at the special session did not show either in thefr votes or speeches anything in- dicating new light on public questions as the result of mingling with their constituents. If they had discussed such questions while at home the fact did not appear upon their return to ‘Washington. So now after the Christmas season. The probability is that the recess was #pent, not on serfous matters of state, but on private matters of gayety and enjoyment, and that the legislatorsare back in town no wiser than when they Jeft about what should be done to re- Jieve the distress that is general and depressing.

A slight earthquake occurred yes- terday morning in Panama, shaking Panama City sufficiently to cause some alarm, but doing no damage. Natural- Jy the first thought of the officials in charge of the canal was for the se- curjty of the great waterway. An im- mediate examination was made, and the gratifying report cama back that Mo damage whatever had been done to ny of the locks or banks, that the ;ul ‘was in its usual good order. When the transisthmian canal proj- Nect was under consideration’ the rival , claims of Panama and Nicaragua were ‘hotly pressed in terms of earthquakes pmnd volcanoces. The advocates of each troute pointed out the dangers that 1lurked on the other line. It is related 1that the adroit use of a certain postage 3 the immediate effect of the | ly turning the tide of American de- cisfon. ® Ever since the canal was built there have been some fears of disturbances causing the blockade of the canal. Thus far nothing of the sort has hap- pened. At the outset earthslides oc- curred, but they were in, nowise at- tributable to selsmic causes. The dirt simply slipped because it was cut back at too steep an angle, and it continued to slide until it had reached the “angle of repose,” at which it has since rested in stabflity. Unquestionably a severe earthquake in the immediate reglon of the canal would do immense damage, would probably put the canal out of commis- sion for weeks, or months, possibly for a number of years. It is conceiv- cur of such severity as to break the masonry of the locks and dams, under- mine the foundations, perhaps empty the watercourse and possibly start the slides again and cause the filling up of the deep cuts. But why worry? Such things might occur anywhere. There is no known area of absolute security from earthshocks. Dieas- trous ones have occurred in this coun- jtry. The canal is located in a rather more tremulous zone than usual, tut the record for quakes in Panama is not such as to cause any special anx- iety. An efficient staff is on the job there, and if human ingenuity can forestall misfortune there will be no break in the big ditch due to nature’s convalsions. —_————— The Personnel Board. Authorization by President Harding of a federal personnel board, to formu- late policies and plans designed to place the personnel administration of the government abreast of the best practice in private enterprise, with proper regard to the peculiarities of the public service, is another of those quiet strokes which may have tre- mendous results for good. ‘With a simple executive order the President has set in operation steps which may lead to the correction of the inequalities sin government serv- ice here. faults which were pointed out in the report of the old reclassification commission, but about which nothing of any particular consequence has been done. The new board is to be se- lected from each government depart- ment and independent establishment, for the expressed purpose of develop- ing in the federal government & more effective and economical system of employment and personnel manage- ment, and to promote the general wel- fare of the employes of the national government. By the selection of only those per- sons who are known to have a thor- oughly sympathetic viewpoint upon personnel problems a board may be ecured which will be able to carry into effect, without fuss or palaver, the reforms which any honest student of the civil service knows should be brought about. The selection of any other sort of person but one who has the “human touch” will be a great mistake in making up this highly im- portant beard. Perhaps no other sin- gle government agency will be able to do quite as much as this one, if it is properly constituted. If it is not, it will be but another useless govern- ment agency. Under the leadership of the head of the Civil Service Commission one of the first problems which the board will take up is that of providing a system of personnel records, some such record of all government workers as was recommended recently by the report of the actuaries upon the civil service retirement fund. fundamental step, as complete records, affording almolu,e knowledge of all employes, are a necessary basis for any helpful or constructive work for able that a jar in the crust might oc-’ M | the good of all. The questions of transfers between departments, uniformity of work and leave, review of’ promotions, and forma- tion of a “flying squadron” of clerks to go where needed, upon call, were considered by the old reclassification commission, and will be leading topics for consideration by the personnel i{board. The National Capital awaits with hope the selection of its members and their first meeting. —_————————— The New Year reception at the ‘White House revived an old and pleas- ant custom. The ceremony is one in ‘which the people delight to participate, and the willingness of the President to undergo the physical fatigue neces- sarily involved in the great American formality of shaking hands must find its reward in the happiness of meet- ing, face to face, so many of those to whose service he has devoted his life’s endeavors. —————— Nations who denounce war insist on having submarines. It is going to take some ingenious logic to convince the innocent bystanders and taxpayers of. the world that the sub is a philan- thropic institution. —————— The bootleg mortality rate increased during the holidays. Self-inflicted capi- tal punishment is a rather severe penalty for violation of the prohibition laws. ———————— Secret diplomacy shows & willing- ness to deceive that should at the out- set invite mutual suspiclon among those who seek to engage in it. —_—— Training and Politics. Mr. Penrose, whose success in poli- tics was considerable, had a thorough training in that fleld. He began young, and in a modest way. He served in both branches of the Pennsylvania legislature, and at Harrisburg learned the rudiments of lawmaking. Later, in Congress, here in Washington, he showed the value of that apprentice- ship. He worked hard in all party matters. He was an industrious committeeman. He attended conventions, city, county, state and national. In harness he pulled his weight. He disdained no as- signment. No work was too insignift- cant for his hand if he saw that it had value in the general equation. This, in time, brought the desired reward. When he entered the Senate he took & place in state annals with the Camerons and the Quays, and -in national annals with men nationally known for doing things, or for getting things done. Mr. Penrose specislized. He became, This is a| THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. Who's Who tariff—hard subjects both, and Iendl’l!l themselves scarcely at all to oratory | or popular display. So he appeared but seldom on the stump, and never outside of his own state. anybody else. He could see—nobody more plainly—that he was not, and could not be made, a presidential quantity. No bee ever invaded his bonnet, or even buzzed in his neigh- borhood. In a word, he was a self- centered politicilan, who devoted his whole sime to party matters and pub- lic questions, and with the private means to indulge his tastes to the fullest. Killjoys and the Conference. Senator Edge, replying to some criti- cism of the armament conference, asks the question, “Why not join in the acclaim?” ‘Why not, indeed? There is acclaim, and well justified. The conference was called with excellent intent, excellent- 1y stated. The President's action was applauded all over the world; and cer- tainly the conference has been con- ducted with dignity and much success. If nothing else stood to its credit—but a good deal does—the fact that the world’s post-war situation stands more clearly revealed now and is more ac- curately appraised than before would entitle the conference to the highest respect. The New Jersey senator then lays this injunction on the critics: “Don’t lead the killjoys! 1t is a good injunction. Unfortunate- ly, every mpvement, every situation, produces killjoys. They inhere in hu- man affairs. This conferénce could not have escaped them. If every question presented had been disposed of promptly and by unanimous action, there would still have been killjoys. But such persons are unusually obnoxious at a time like the present, and in the circumstances that exist. Feverishness and anxiety rack the world today. Serious men everywhere are confabulating about remedies; and surely every proposition having relief in view should be considered without heat or hate, and supported when ap- proved by orderly examination. And such examination is provided for in the Senate, where the work of the confer- ence when completed will be passed upon One conference gives a delegate points to place before his constituents for discussion so that he can speak with more confident authority at the next conference. § One advantage in losing the tax on railway tickets is the saving of time in selling them which will enable many a traveler to avoid missing his trdin. ¥ & !

Selecting From the Storehouse. “You don’t appear to have very many original ideas on governmental matters,” remarked the critical con- stityent. “I doubt whether originality is needed,” said Senator S8orghum. “The world has been accumulating original ideas for centuries. A statesman is do- ing very well nowadays if he can use good judgment and pick out & few of the best ones.” Famliliarities. “It is not considered polite to speak to persons to whom we have not been introduced,” mused Miss Cayenne. ‘“Unpardonable familiarity,” said the punctilious gentleman.- “And yet it seems a far less excusable famflisrity for soldlers to gather around for the purpose of shooting people whom they have never met.” Overwhelmed. - A-shopping with his wife he went, He wore & puszled frown.

He had no illusions about himself url XL—Count Emilio Pagliano Atthe Arms Conference NS HE diplomatic resources of every country represented at +the armament conference have been tapped. Just as, when a new battleship of the sort the con- ference is intended to postpone, if not prevent, is placed in commission, she is manned by a picked personned tak- en from other fighting craft, so em- bassies here and there throughout the world have had to relinquish, for the time being, some brilllant member or two of their staffs because no- where else could just the right man be found. = Such a case i{s that of Count Emilio Pagliano of the general secretariat of the Italian delegation to the pres- ent conference. Acceptance by Italy of the Invitation to participate in the momentous gathering found Count Pagliano, whose specialties are con- stitutional and international law, serving as counselor of the Royal Ttallan embassy at Madrid, capital of Spain. He was ordered to relinquish duties he was performing with dis- tinction in the Spanish capital in or- der that the Italian conference dele- gation might have the benefit of his extensive knowledge and experience along his chosen lines. Count Pagliano was selected to rep- resent Italy od a special subcommit- tee of experts from “big five” of the present conference, established to consider rules of warfare on land ard with particular reference to new weapons developed in the world war, {and the protection both of combatants and non-combatants alike from in- humane methods of fighting. Count Pagliano is a young man. He was born in Rome in 18&1, and his home is in the Eternal city., He re- celved the degree of doctor of laws and doctor of political and colonial sciences from the University of Rome, and later served as professor of con- stitutional law in that great univer- sity. He is also the author of many works on constitutional and interna- tioral law. His ‘specialization in international law eventually brought him into the diplomatic service of his country and the oflice he now holds. He served as The Undersea Assassin in Court. With the Washington conference seemingly deadlocked as to the dis- position’ of the submarine, the Min- ! neapolis Tribune (republican) makes merry over the move to reform the little bandit, if it must remain at large. “Everybody agrees that the ami- able little hoat manifested a little too much exuberance during the late fray. Its frollcsome spirits, however, are to be curbed in the future. When the i world-public is told of the standard of etiquette which the gentle sub- war. we trust that all countenances will be properly respectful, and that rude enough to wink.” Passing from ironical to direct phrase, the Wheeling Register (demo- cratic) cries: “Poppycock! What did Germany care for international con- ventions? What will any otner war- mad country care in the future for international understandings, if pos- sessed with the implements with which to undertake ruthless war?’ “No nation,” says the Baltimore American (republican). “is going to admit to the world that it would use the submarine with the ruthless pre- ision adopted by the Germans; and yet everybody knows that in a pinch, facing a desperate situation, any na- war for existence,” and the New Or- EDITORIAL DIGEST marine is to live up to in the mextd; o) nowhere will there be found anybody | commander will me; ion would find excuses for any means ; come, it thought really effective to win a| hours, jhis country prior to the present con COUNT EMILIO PAGLIAN! secretary of the permanent committee for preparation for the conference of ' private international Jaw at The Hague. His next important detail was as chief of the cabinet of the president of the Iallan delegation to the peace con- ference at Paris, Forelgn Minister Tittoni. In 1920 Count Pagliano was an as- sistant delegate to the important| financial conference held at Brussels,: and in 1921, was assistant delegate at the ‘conference of transit” (trans- portation conference) at Ionu.i Spain.

Pacific, where the situation is rea- Sonably quiet, but we refuse to join the rest of the world in guaranteéing peace in Europe.’ The Brooklyn Eagle (independent democratic) states that “the confer- ence has not the power to effect thet abolition of the submarine, even if it’ accepted the British proposal.” since “the application of these rules to other nations outside the conference cannot be guaranteed.” The Polite Submarine. The submarine is to be a good lit- tle boat henceforth. It will say “please” when making requests and not omit the “thank you.” It is to be a model of politeness.

C.) News and Courfer (democratic), a conclusion in which the Oklahoma City Oklahoman (democratic) concurs. “If the pres- ent conference fails to reach an agreement on this subject we must not be discouraged,” the San Fran- cisco Chronicle (independent) thinks, for eventually it “must go,” and the St. Louis Globe-Democrat (republi- can) feels that “there is so much sympathy throughout the world for the British position” in desiring total abandonment of the submarine “that such an appeal might be embarrass- ing to the conference, the majority of whose members are strongly opposed to this_extreme measure.” The Emporia Gazette (independent) thinks that “every weapon of war that can be abolished brings the world that much nearer a state where arbitrament and council will replace force,” and the Des Moines Register (progressive republican) characterizes “the muddle into which the nations have fallen over the sub- marine” as a “bungle”; “for nobody can doubt America, by either pro- posing to abandon the submarine or by being ready to join with Britain promptly when Britain proposed it, could have freed the world from the most serious menace to world peace.” ‘That the “British view of the sub- marine is far more in accord with the general spirit and purpose of the conference than are the views of the natifons which would cling to the U-boats as valued arms of defense’ is'the opinion of the Roanoke World- News (democratic), while the New York Globe (independent), character- izing the American position as “The Great Refusal,” says: “What we really propose, 80 long as we stick to sub- wmarines, is to make war cheap and to gain &8 much advantage as we can from the naval ratlo which we have proposed. Commenting upon the attitude of the respective powers represented at the conference with respect to sub- marines, the Springfield Republican (independent) considers “a compro- mise {arly dificult” since ‘“no two:o! five powsgs have the same outlook,” The British opposition to submarines “is almost as selfish as the French ambition for more battle- ships,” states the Indianabolis Star (Independent republican), and as & consequence *it is the part of Ameri- can statesmanship to maintain a keen vislon end an impartial attitude.” “If Enil“fl ‘wishes very much for the prohibition of submarines and France insists on & considerable fleet of them, there is, of course, an opportunity for compromise. Briand would cheerfully give up capital ships and submarines for a British guarantee,” is the opin- jon of the Philadelphia Record (inde- the great mass of ndent democratic), while the Jersey independent) feels that “‘reactionary’ spirit” should be placed “upon the - shoulders of America, - where 1t 'belongs, We ‘guaraates’ peaca in the pe!

A good beggar who knows his busi- ness can easily clear from $25 to $50 a day In .the streets of New York. That is what a prisoner, arraigned on a charge of disorderly ' conduct, told the presiding magistrate before whom is case was called. The figure seems high, but there is confirmatory testi- mony that it is correct. No wonder 80 many men go in for mendicancy, when the financial rewards are great- er than they could hope to obtain in any other calling. The first and nec- essary requirement fs the sacrifice of every atom of personal pride. After that, the way is comparatively easy and, as in everything else, proficiency comes with experience. The Associated Charities, the Salva- tion ‘Army and the like are willing, ready” and able to take care of the deserving poor. Street begging should be made unprofitable by the force of disapproving public opinion. The next time you are tempted to stop and make a small financial contribution to one of these professional mendicants, pause long enough to reflect that pos- sibly he makes more money than you do. The fact that he wears ragged clothes and dirty and unkempt in appearance is not evidence to the con- trary; ragged clothes and a dirty face are a part of his stock in trade.

The flight of the big Army dirigible Roma from Langley Field, Va. to Washington and back for its chris- | tening ceremonies last week revealed ! a stanchness of construction in the mammoth airship and a skill on the part of its navigators which have been duly chronicled. But the more the hasardous conditions of the trip are studied the more they substantiate the belief that the feat will rank as something greater than a heroic ex- ploit—as perhaps an epoch-making event in the history of aerial navi- gation. ‘When a dirigible balloon of the di- mensions of a modern ocean liner can successfully meet and surmount the severest obstacles to alr transit, when it can alternately forge shead against & gale or ride before it and with half of its engines crippled keep its course and reach its destination unscathed, the airship must be said to have ruurl the supreme test of practicability Thess things the Roma did.
