- THE EVENING STAR — With Sunday Morning Edition. __ | ¢ WASHINGTON, D. C. FRIDAY.. .June 28, 1029 THEODORE W. NOYES. ... Editor Orders be sent in by mall or National 8000, Rate by Hal—-hylbh in Alnnu. 1000 lmu.m ate. He does not subscribe to the plan cloture, advanced by the former Vice mdmhm'muhnmfikw- sible to shut off debate by a majority vote so as to force action on a pending measure, but he does stand by the de- mand of Mr. Dawes that debate be at all times to the subject before the Senate. tor Allen is quoted in & dispatch from his own home town, Wichita, Kans.. as saying: “I do not think that in the midst of 8 serious debate on farm relief a Ben- ator should be allowed to claim the floor to make & speech on the characteristics of the horned toad.” Neither would any one else with com- [ . lmon sense sustain such & procedure. But that is precisely the kind of thing that happens again and again in the I"numt deliberative body in the world.” Senator Allen has announced that he intends to seek election to the Senate to succeed himself next year— he is serving now under appointment 5 {5 | by the Governor of his State, filling a Ten Years of Versailles. Ten years ago today the allied and asso- ciated powers that humbled imperial Germany on the field of battle joined ‘with their vanquished foe in the treaty of Versailles. The intervening decade has been a period of peace in the sense that there has been no more war. But his- torians will not be able to record that 1t has been an interval of tranquillity in any other direction. On the contrary, the er: of 1919-1929 has been marked by unrest, anxiety and insecurity, from -mm.mmmmnem-wm beginning to emerge. Probably another decade, if Bot even & wider segment of perspective, will be required to settle once for all the ques- tion of “war guilt” Today throughout Germany so-called “anti-war guilt lie” demonstrationsarebeing held. They have the official sanction of President Hin- denburg and other reich officials. Yes- terday the Reichstag defeated a bill pro- viding for extension of the law of pro- tection of the republic—a statute enact- ed after the assassination of Walther Rathenau, in 1922, and designed to discourage any attempt to accomplish & monarchial coup d'etat in favor of the discredited Hohenzollerns. Technically the ex-Kaiser is now at Miberty, under the law, to return from exile. No one in Germany seriously thinks the recluse of Doorn Would risk s foolhardy a venture, for, barring s handful of royalist die-hards, the dethroned dynasty is universally detested by the German people. The Reichstag vote, mevertheless, reflects a certain resentment against the theory that the Germans alone were Te- sponsible for the war. Today’s popular manifestations will provide an even more significant indication of their emotions. The German government has yet to ratify the Young plan for reparations. Even though it drastically revises the Dawes plan downward and in Ger- many’s favor, the Nationalist outery against the burdens it imposes may be- come s thundering protest in which non-reactionary elements of the coun- try may join. It may safely be assumed that the German spellbinders, who ful- minate against the war-guilt “lie” today, all the way from the Rhine to the Bal- tie, will harp voeiferously against the ohligations to which Reichsbank Presi- dent Dr. Schacht sought to commit the reich at Paris this month. ‘While the tenth anniversary of the Versailles treaty thus finds the Germans in frreconcilable mood, June 38, 1929, sees the world at large on the threshold of events which give hope to God's chil- dren everywhere. The Kellogg pact is about to come formally into effect, and the Hoover-MacDonald drive for naval lmitation is on the march. Al in all, though tardily mayhap, est deliberative body on earth. That is ‘the claim made for #t by Senators themselves, If it is such, it does ap- pear reasonable that the debate should be relevant to the question before the Senate for consideration. But nothing is further from the fact. Under the rules of the Senate, a Senator is per- mitted to discuss anything or any question under the sun, no matter how unrelated it may be to the measure be- and entire irrelevancy. Mr. Dawes has passed to other fields of endeavor and B UL R | 3 L3 L ] vacancy caused by the election of Charles Curtis, former Senator, to be Vice President. The latter, by the way, has not undertaken to follow in the eq, | footsteps of Mr. Dawes, so far as the Senate rules are concerned. Senator Allen, however, with & later view of the Senate and its procedure, is inclined to agree with the former Vice President in this matter. Some day something will be done to make the Senate rules more sensible—perhaps. The Kellogg Treaty. Less than a year ago in Paris representatives of fifteen of the most powerful nations of the world signed the Kellogg multilateral treaty renounc- ing war. Yesterday the Emperor of Japan formally ratified the treaty for his country, following its approval by the privy council. The action by the government of Japan completes the ratification of the treaty by the fifteen signatories. As soon as the ratification by Japan has been officially deposited in Washington, which will be within a month, the treaty will be declared in effect. In addition to the fifteen signa- tory nations, forty-nine others have been invited to adhere to the treaty. ‘With the exception of Argentina and Brazil, all have been heard from, favorably. Twenty-three of them have already deposited their ratification in ‘Washington. The negotiation of the Kellogg treaty was hailed the world over as a great step in the Interest of jnternational peace. The nations under it agree to Tenounce war as an instrument of set- tling international differences and to resort o peaceful measures in bringing about such settlements. Now that the treaty is going into effect it is a matter of great congratulation to the Govern- ment of the United States, which took the lead in its negotiation. The privy council of Japan adopted an interpretative declaration regarding the language of the treaty, holding thet the signature of the treaty “in the name of their respective peoples” did not ap- ply to Japan. It was held that without some interpretation this language might be held to imply that the Em- peror was the people's agent, which would be incompatible with the consti- tution of Japan, Count Uchida, who signed the treaty for Japan at Paris last year, has tendered his resignation a8 & member of the privy council, hold- ing that the interpretative declaration ‘was unnecessary. Despite the flurry over the interpretative declaration and the feeling in some quarters that the language of the treaty was incompatible with the constitution of Japanm, there has been no opposition voiced in Japan to the purposes of the treaty. ‘The Kellogg treaty is s simple dec- laration that the nations ratifying it will not resort to war, but will adopt peaceful methods of settling interna- tional disputes. There is no Supergov- ernment, no combination of powers, provided for carrying out the provisions of the treaty. It is & solemn ‘declaration, nevertheless, and any violation of it would subject the violating nation to disapproval of the world and bring down upon it the condemnation of world opinion. —ee—— A man fully competent o serve as chatrman of the Farm Board is sought by President Hoover.

The Nature of Space. ‘The vastness of this universe of space and time in which our world is so insignificant an atom is impressed upon us by the calm announcement of the Carnegle Institution of Washington that two of its staff have made obser- vations of objects 50,000,000 light years distant in the heavens. This means approximately 30,000,- 000,000,000,000,000,000,000 miles. When astronomers speak of such enormous distances & few trillion miles, more or less, have no significance.

There is something akin to frensy ix the reaction of police and traffic offi- cials to the alarming increase in traflic accidents. A special squad of motor cycle men is mustered and sent scour- ing the highways for violators of the traffic regulations. Arrests increase overnight, and scores of automobile drivers are apprehended for their fail- ure properly to observe signal lights, for their failure to display license tags correctly, for their failure to make proper hand signals in turning or stop- ping, for speeding, stopping on cross- walks and not giving the right of way. Publicity from such a drive will have the temporary effect of making every driver more careful. While the drive lasts every driver will watth his step. But after the “drive”? From past experience with such campaigns it is known that the good effect does not last long. A few days and the police- relax in vigilance and the careless< ness of the motorists increases in pro- portion. The benefit of a short and spirited campaign to enforce the traffic regulations is questionable. One readily appreciates the responsi- bility felt by traffic and police officials to make the streets safe against accl- dents. Their determination to enforce the law sealously, with a mounting casualty list staring them in the face, is natural. The point is that the should be no stops and sudden in enforcement of the traffic law or of any law. If the increased force of fifteen motor cycle policemen added to the Traffic Buresu's patrol is necessary to deal with an acute situa should be permanently and rarily assigned to this duty.

The emphasis today has been put on theatrical amusements, and upon the varjous outdoor sports, but there are more books printed now than ever be- fore, and there are probably more ar- dent readers, too. There are thousands of small boys who play all morning and read all after- noon. Real boys are, boys who run and leap and throw and catch, but who also know how to wrestle with mental ideas, to catch a good story on the bound, to throw their minds into & moving narrative. These boys—and we should include the girls, too—are the mainstay of books in every generation, for they are the future booklovers, men and women who get _more real pleasure out of a book than out of any other form of di- version whatsoever. * ok ko ‘The lonely book reader on his back porchh'.h.wp'o!luluchmnm Hamhdaflntplm that read- quh essentially a solitary sport. o doubt the race is eye-minded, as the phrase is; a book read with the eyes and heard with mental ears mes more real, more intense, than one which is read aloud.
