Discussion of the treaties growing out of the armament conference has begun in the Senate, and the country is interested. The pacts are recognized as of great importance. They are. en- titled to full debate, and the Senate rules guarantee that. - But because of the importance ‘of the pacts and the liberality of the ryles, the debate should be fair and di- rected to the point. Anything re- sembling or suggesting a fMlibuster ought not to be introduced. The country wants action, and time, legitimately employed, will be neces- sry to bring action. The number of the pacts shows that much is involved, and that the negotiators proceeded ‘with care in their work. Politics, in the everyday sense, did not enter into’ the negotiations. Mr. Lodge, the republican leader of the Senate, and Mr. Underwood, the demo- cratic leader, were among the nego- tiators, signed the pacts, and eare standing together in support of the President’s request for ratification. Ratification will not be, or be claim- able as, a republican triumph, nor will rejection be, or be claimable as, a re- publican defeat. Sentiment in the country loudly ap- plauded the calling of the armament conference, as loudly applauded Secre- tary Hughes' conduct of the confer- erice business, and as loudly applauded the results of the conference when they were announced. The appeal to the Senate for ratification, therefore, is based upon sentiment that has three times been expressed. In this way the country is practically pledged to rati- fication. | Helping End Controversy. It was an engaging picture present- ed by Fred C. Croxton, director of the Council of Social Agencies of Colum- bus, Ohio, in his address at the ban- quet of the Monday Evening Club, when he told how the work of such agencies may remove many problems from the field of controversy. ‘Take the question of child labor. It is not fair to line up employers and labor against each other on this issue, the speaker declared, because it has been proved by the work of the coun- cil that to approach the subject as a community problem takes it out of the fleld of controversy. Argue with a man about his busi- ness, and he is very apt to believe he knows a great deal more about it than you do. But tell him that the educa- tional work of the city is being upset by his employing children, and demon- strate to him just how this is true, and he will listen to you. Take the problem of proper working conditions. Therfe, again, the human element enters largely. Tell 2 man his workrooms are not what they should be, he may resent it. But get him in- terested in the matter of better air and better light from the standpoint of public health and the matter is at once taken out of controversy. This is sound psychology, as well as ‘wholesome social welfaré work. It points the way to unlimited good, not only in the field of social work, but in that larger fleld which comprises the life and work of all men. The world has seen too much of anger, hate and controversy. Every method that points toward peace and harmony should be welcomed with outstretched hands. —_———————— The opinion delivered by Justice Erandeis upholding woman suffrage confirms in formal verblage an impres- sion that was already very general in @ popular way. —_——— Six car-fare tokens for 40 cents means 62-3 cents a ride. The street car has become the great national pro- moter of mental arithmetic. ‘Washington has some of the most beautifully paved streets and some of the worst mydholes in the country. ———— Russia; the World’s Problem. All the other problems which trou- ble a problem-inflicted world today sink into comparative insignificance ‘beside the problem of Russia. The his- tory of mankind does not contain rec- ord of a catastrophe so appalling. It 4s civilization's, supreme disaster, dawarfing every other disaster of mod- ern or ancient times. It is so over- whelming that the mind refuses to grasp it. The world war itself, most sanguinary of all conflicts which have reddened this planet, was less horrible. Not delirium, nor nightmare, nor the ‘madness of great genius ever conjured a thing so terrible as the actual thing, that today is Russia. : ‘To mitigate this horror, to meet and discharge the obligations of humanity, the world does almost nothing. Her- ‘bert Hoover’s relief organization, with funds contributed privately in this country and voted by Congress, is keeping a few millions alive. It is a big work, measured by ordinary standards. Measured by the nelessi- ties of the situation it is a puny effort. Nowhere else {8 any worth while effort Yeing made at all. The requiremehts of the Russian ordinated statesmanship of the werld, but world statesmanship apparently has broken down. It concerns itself with plans for Russian trade and the collection of czarist debts, and quib- ‘bles over the niceties of intercourse ‘with the assassins of Russia while the Russlan people are. perishing. The government at Moscow 1is fantastic, Ibut 1t does not suffer as it should in as it is cruel. It is just as much the world's business to save Russia’'from cause_they are’ helpless the rest of sia ought to be made the fisst order and women and children are rescued situation could be met only. by the co-{and even whole pages have been de- comparison with governmenta. else- where.” The statesmanship of. the rest of the qworld-is showing itself as im- potent as that of Lenin and Trotsky is monstroj . To =2y x;.t the rest of the world has no right to interfere in the in- ternal affairs of Russia is ai ridicuious the bolshevists.as it was to'save Bel- glum from the Germans. The soviet regime at Moscow is not a government chosen by the Russian people, and has no title to respect as such.” The Rus- stan people merely endure it, as an affiiction sent by God, and because they cannot help themselves.” And-be- the world withholds help.. From this day on'the saving of Rus- ¢ business of every government which makes any . pretense of clvilization. Every other problem ought to be mada secondary - untll a solution: for “this problem is found. The “‘eéconomic re- construction of Europe” can wait un- til forty millions of unoffending men from starvation. There is food enough to spare in the world to carry the Russian people through until they can sow and harvest another crop. Thou- sands of ships for the trensportation of that food now are lying idie. Thers is fofce emough &t hand, or can be quickly organized, to prevent Trot- sky’s red army from interfering with its distribution, And this being true, what excuse can the world give for failing to save Russia? Supreme Court on Railroads. Rallroads will rest easier now that the Supreme Court has said that the transportation act of 1920 is constitu- tional, and -that the states have no right to break down or.injure. {nter- state comnmerce by means of intrastate traffic rules and rates. The decision upholds the: federal Interstate Com)- merce_Commission, as the chlef- au- thority on rates. The argumeént of the intrastaters that & supreme federal In- terstate Commeree Commission would exercise unified control over interstate and intrastate commerce is answered by the court when it says that the con- trol should be unified only so far as will maintain efficient reguiation of interstate commerce under the para- mount power of Congress. The decision will make for better administration of the railroads and a sense of greater security as to their earnings. This should contribute to the return of nafional prosperity be- cause of the vast fund of capital in- vested In railroad obligations and the vast structure of credit which rests on those obligations. To a large ex- life insurance and a thousand and one other things are dependent on rail- road earnings, and practically every form of ‘business in the United States is dependent on railrcad activity, or rallroad carrying efficiency. Equip- ment plants, steel plants and an un- namable list of other plants live on railroad purchases. They cannot pros- per, give employment to men and pay- interest and @ividends to their in- vestors if the railroads are down and out. 2 The railrodd is a “key industry” con- sidered only as an industry. Without it land commerce would be blocked and that” multiangled, multi-shaped all-pervading. thing we call business would stop short and the free-soup- house queues of idle men and troops of hungry women and children would come upon the stage. With the national Interstate Com- merce Commission often standing on the neck of' the raliroads, and with the separate .and independent com- merce commissions of something like forty-eight states defying the rules of the 1. C. C. so far as related to traffic within their state boundaries, and each struggling to get its own perticular hold on the neck of the rajlroads, the “rails” have been in a sorry mess, and the variety of rates and rules have slowed up or demoralized traffic and turned the hair of railrcad exgcutives white. ~ As the railroad situation clears up there will probably follow a lengthen- ing of railroad mileage and expansion of traffic facilities. The credit of rail- roads will improve, and they will be able to borrow. momey for improve- ments and ektensions. Thelr’ credit has been at a low ebb, and there has been much uncertainty as to their ability to meet their obligations. They have had no surplus for betterment work. and they ‘have been able to bor- row money only at cut-throat rates of interest because of the risk the lande!'q were assuming. i A controversy. between tlie church and the stage usually leaves the stage in the position of desiring to give the public what it wants, while.the church is morally compelled to remird the public of future possibilities of some- thing entirely different. ¥ Criticisms of Ambassador.

Al though empires have fallen during the past eight years, and kingeraft gen- erally has lost some of its. prestige, mankind lingers under the supersti- tion implanted in jts mind when' the world was young. : So today the marriage of a king's daughter is a subject for world-wide reading. Even in democratic America, which in 1776 ounce and for all over- threw the domirtion of kings, columns voted to the event. The bride's wed- ding dress is described thread by thread; her coat of arms requires half a column; the way her hair is dressed for the great day takes a column, The reaction of mamy Americans is: “Well, ‘'why all this about a king's daughtér 2,000 ‘miles away, when the 1 tent interest on savings accounts ani‘ THE.

It has for more than a decade been the unani- mous _convietion of all who have looked fnto: the - situation .that all possible theans fof the. proper care-. and protection - of valuable official documents under existing conditions are now being utilized,- and their manifest inadequacy demonstrates the urgent necessity for an archives bultding. 2 B R B The additfonal seeurity against loss | or destruction of officlal-papers, the | economy in_time and labor resulting from the greatly improved, factlities for examining the same, and the con-. sequent increased efficiency in the public service would all appear to be strong arguments in favor of the speedy. constructfon of the building. In-addition, it is pointed out that the! nstruetion and occupancy of the! roposed building would release mnuch space which is greatly needed to re- lieve congested conditions in depart- mental buildings. Four years ago an estimate was/| submitted to Congress for an appro- priation .of- $486,000. for =, site and $1,500,000 for-a building. . ] Representative Fess, again on De- cember 29, 1920, in a speech in the House, gave it as his bellef that the much-desired building would soon materlalize, and emphasized the Im- portant place it will take In making the National Capltal one of the great- est centers of education in the world, especially its possibilities in research service.

Congre: ssage in 1912 stressing “the necessity for the erec- tion of a bullding to contain the public archives” As chief-executive, he impressed upon Congress that “the unsatisfactory distribution of rec- ords, the lack of any proper index or guide to their contents, is well known to those familiar with the needs of the government in this capital.” With this message he transmitted to Con- gress correspondence he had had'with Prof. J. Franklin Jameson, director of the department of historical re- search of the Carnegie Institution of Washingtan, in which Prof. Jameson urged action, as ‘e member of a com- mittee appointed by the executive council of the American Historical Assoctation to bring the matter to the attenti of the President and Con- gress. * ¥ * ¥ Representative Simeon D.
