Vice President Dawes’' scheme to carry his Senate reform crusade into “the enemy’s country'—the States of individus ators luke-warm or hos- tile to Dawes plan”—has a broad purpose in view. Dawes is convinced the people with him, whether Senators not. He thinks that with with lesser mortals, seeing is belie So the Vice President is deter- mined, as far as may lie in his power, to let Senators reluctant to reform observe their own constituents in the act of demanding reform is the true inwardness of Gen. | intention to “stump” Kansas ram.

Kansas Is Immediate Objective Kansas is Dawes' immediate ob- jective, but will not be his last. .The perations he has worked out really was set in motion at Boston on April 18, when he got Senator Butler out of his luncheon-table chair and had him take the pledge publicly before 500 Massachusetts constitu- ents. In May Dawes goes to Alabama to {speak under the auspices of Senator Underwood. That Demo- cratic leader is something more than a convert to “the Dawes plan.” He nticipated it in a formal attempt to amend the Senate rules along vir- Oscar W { tually Dawes lines. Speaking to this writer about Western sentiment on Senate pro- cedure. Senator Capper said: “I think there is no question but that the Vice President will find the soil ready for his tilling when he comes into our country with his plan to kill the one-man filibuster. I per- sonally have long favored a revision of the rules along lines designed to expedite public business. Whether Mr. Dawes has hit upon an issue that will stir popular emotions remains, of course, to be seen. Depends on Skill. “The Western people are more in terested in taxation questions than they are in Senate rules. If those rules can be interpreted in terms that appeal to the farmer, and can make the farmer understand that his wel- fare is directly wrapped up wi revision, then Gen. Dawes is to get somewhere with his All will depend on his skill in giving his crusade the emotional touch. Of that_touch he is a master, and he A A -THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

If applause alone were to be the criterion, it would not be candid to say that the Vice President scored. He was heard with respect rather than with enthusiasm. He was handclap- ped to his seat when his speech was over, but there was nothing fervid or spontaneous about it. Mr. Dawes hurried from the table as soon as he had finished. Some observers thought to keep audiences “‘enthuse’ his crowd, but the truth is that he was hurrying to catch an early train to Washington. Filibusters Have Aided. If the Vice President's appeal to the country to interest itself in Senate rules bears fruit the peopie will pro- ceed to acquaint themselves with those rules. When they do, they are sure to look into the ceunter-argu- ments. The Dawes opposition will re- call the history of famous filibusters like the Force bill episode, and ram home the theory that unlimited debate has never -throttled a really worthy measure in the Senate, while evi- dence can be produced that it killed more than one unworthy project. Also Dawes’ opponents point out he will be reminded as his crusade progresses that there is, after all, pro- vision for Senate cloture, under rule 22, adopted in 1917.

BY ANDRE TARDIEU. By Radlo to The Star. PARIS, April 25.—Although the war in 1914 came—in its opportunity if not its causes—from eastern Europe, events in that region are not always as closely watched as they should be. It is Just there that the peace treates made the most sweeping changes in sovereignty and in boundaries, and it is there that two contrary principles of government—the capitalist and the Communist principles—are in imme- diate contact. On the one hand the Bulgarian rev- olution, which shows these principles at loggerheads, and on the other the new treaty between Czechoslovakia and Poland, emphasize the importance of what is going on in this neglected part of the Old Warld. Propaganda by Reds. The Soviets, despite official de- nials, through the Third Interna- tionale, have been carrying on an intensive campaign of incitement among their western neighbors. Hav- ing lost the war of 1920 against Poland, they have adopted the obvi- ous policy of political action looking to the absorption of the minor coun- tries bordering on Soviet Russia. There have heen Communist strikes in Greece, Rumania and Czecho- slovakia. There were violent dis- turbances in Esthonia last December. The Jugoslav government was dis- solved because the Raditch Party went over to Moscow. All the insur- rectional organizations and all the discontent in Bulgaria are the work of Moscow agents, who carefully pre- pared for the campaign of assassina- tion and aggression now In progress. Frontlers Are Life. This is not the only danger threat- ening the states which were created or aggrandized by the 1919 treaties. Russian nationalist traditions allled to Sovietism are only their eastern On the west, Germany's re- fusal to recognize their frontlers is an equal threat. Their frontiers are |indeed their very life, and when Ger- many speaks of pacific revision of boundaries she is laughing at the world. Revision, if insisted upon, can only Germany has discovered that Ramsay MacDonald is not her only friend in England. The former premier said in his speecH at Glouces- ter the other day, “I am opposed to the 1919 treaties.” But the present conservative government also refuses to guarantee the frontiers which these treaties established. Czecho-Polish Treaty. The new Czecho-Polish treaty is an effort to reinforce those battered docu- ments. Oply these eastern govern- ments, in fact, have taken the treaties resolutely as the basis of their na- tional life. All their powerful allies have either repudiated them, like the United States, or have revised them, like Britain, or have modified them as France has done. On the whole their policy, despite the economic difficul- ties inherent in such consolidation of new trritories, has borne fruit, and these little nations are today far stronger than they were flve years ago. This example ought to be a good lesson to the bigger allies. The new nations are beset on one side by bolshevist intrigue, on the other by German ambition, and on all sides by British indifference, which is the ally of both these perils. Since 1920 the little nations have worked wisely, liquidating their old quarrels among themselves and estab- lishing firm and lasting alliances, such as the little entente, as a substitute for the constant improvisations which have been the rule among the west- ern allies, P The little entente, if it gets better support from the great allies, will un- doubtedly be a strong force for peace and order {n the future. 33 Years at the Came Address DIAMONDS Of Unimpeachable Value and Beauty There is an immense satisfaction in the knowledge that your diamonds come from a sincere and reliable jeweler. serving Washington diamond lovers with stones of fine white color, great bril- liancy and exquisitely cut, and each purchaser expresses unlimited satisfac- tion with his diamond’s quality and beauty.
