It is but natural that skepticism should exist as to the reality of a renunciation of war on the part of nations which not only have used it at every stage in their history in the past, but are yet armed to the teeth as awaiting its outbreak at any moment. Our own Senate, in its debates on ratification, showed how slight a con- fidence some portions of the treaty commanded in the minds of a section of American public opinion, even if that section at the time proved a minority. The same skepticism still exists in other countries. But in the months that have intervened since that debate—a debate which upon the whole marked T one of the lowest tides in congressional history—a movement of reform an progress has been gathering strength in our own and other nations which, if given leadership now. will build the Kellogg-Briand pact into practical in- ternational policies. ‘Within these last few weeks the gov- ernments of both Great Britain and Japan have passed from the hands of conservatives to those whose programs in foreign affairs are based upon col ciliation and other pacific means of set- tling disputes. In Continental Europe, through the statesmanship of business, enmities of the World War seem likely at last to have been laid, and. finally, still more important for the fate of the Kellogg-Briand pact itself, the Presi- dent of the United States is earnestly engaged upon those policies which should convince the world that we 4 have meant what we said when we proposed to renounce war as the in- strument of American policy.

But, it seemed for a while as if Japan | had found an insuperable obstacle in | 1he text of the treaty, which states that | “the high contracting parties solemnly | declare in the names of their respective | peoples that they condemn recourse to war,” etc. The political Opposition party in Japan raised the point that this meanit_that the Emperor of Japan, who | rules by divine right. was here called | to admit a derogation of his| sovereignty.

University glmn explored the mean- ing of the English phrase “in the name of” from Shakespeare to the Treaty of JVersailles. ' They pointed out that al- though originally it meant acting as a re] tative or agent of a high course of time and now is employed merely as a_prepositional phrase. “In the name of the people” might mean nothing more than “for the people” and to carry with it no implication whatever that the Emperor was merely an agent of the Japanese nation. But these more or less convincing arguments might not have solved the problem for the conservative elder statesmen of Japan if it had not been for a fact which is little known except lawyers—namely, that the actual formula of ratification differs in different countries. There is no one accepted formula for ratifying treaties. Even in case of the Kellogg pact the formula used by Great Britain is absolutely different from that used by France or Germany, and the model supplied by Spain and Portugal differs from that of any of the other Euro- pean signatories. Agree to Carry It Out. ‘The presidents of Germany and Prance simply state that they have seen the wording of the treaty which their plenipotentiaries signed and they accept it and promise to carry it out. The British sovereign has signed a fuller formula, which runs that “we will sin- cerely and faithfully perform and ob- serve all and singular the things which dte contained and expressed in the treaty aforesaid and that we will neverl | one or transgressed in a far as it lies in our power." ‘This last phrase, it should be s manner so | id in it does from the government which has been almost as reluctant as the Unite States to bind itself to “enforce peace. The “doubter who sees in the Kellogg pact only a faint shadow of a moral sentiment might well ponder these words, repeated in each act of ratifica- tion of the self-governing dominions. But the Spanish model is still more peculiar, for in ratifying the pact King Alfonso_quotes an- edict of his own in | wlflch he interprets the treaty as iw; rmony with the fundamental prin- | ciples of Spanish history. | Now, all that it was necessary for | Japan to do was to use some such | ariant form as would reassert the Em- | peror’s power to sign “acting in his own name and by his own proper authority.” Strangely enough, this was the formula used by President Wilson in signing the treaty of Versailles, so that a precedent | existed in American history for a for- | mula that would preserve the Emperor’s | prerogative beyond any question, | As the document of ratification was the only one which the Emperor would sign, it was clear, therefore, that a way might be found to ratify according to the constitutional practice of Japan domestic question and at the same time would raise no international problem because the commitment of the treaty remained untouched. It did not matter exactly what the final formula would be so long as it met the internal situation in Japan and did not express any reservation to the treaty. ‘When finally the Japanese problem had been solved Washington was ready for the final act. which took place in the White House on Wednesday last, and President Hoover, having pro- claimed the Kellogg pact in force, can now proceed with those policies which he has been maturing to give it vitality. - - . __ (Continued_from Third Page) thus providing a basis for a full meas- ure of the higher adult life on a future day. The boy of 10 is not to be given A pared-down morsel of adult teaching, for he is but a 'blade’ and is not vet ripe for the harvesting activities of the ‘full corn in the ear.’ “A growing consciousness of the im- portance of this work of religious edu- | cation, not alone to the church, but to | the community and to the Nation, has | led many investigators into the field. It has been noted that a large percen- tage of boys are lost to the church dur- ing the vears of early adolescence. The conclusion has been reached that this period between 12 and 16 vears of age | is the critical period in the religious | education of the boy. As a conse- | quence, much attention has been given to the choice of biblical materials, and to methods of instruction adapted to | the needs of the adolescent. | “However, is it not possible that a | more comprehensive pedagogy will find | it desirable to supplement this excel- lent work by devoting some considerable attention to the roots of the tree of re- ligious life, those roots which are nour- ished or impoverished according to the measure of pedagogical intelligence em- ployed by parent or teacher during the periods of babyhood and early child- hood? “Infancy is the time in the develop- ment of the child which demands an instruction rich in romping physical ac- tivity and in exercise of the senses. Here is the foundation upon which all later mental and spiritual attainments are reared. The penalty of disregard is ever that which comes to him who builds upon the quicksands. @ _“Later at the age of perhaps six, the old stick personified becomes the pranc- . ing steed, and the boy lives in an age of imagery. He imitates, he is curious, and he questions: he talks incessantly, ¥ he becomes a nuisance to the unsympa- thetic parent or teacher. And vet, this is nature's way of laying a groundwork for ]me proper functioning of a human soul. “Can we convince the religious educa- tor that nature deems it necessary that « every normal child shall repeat in nat- ural order all the activities which have helped unfold the mind and soul of the race? At 3 years the boy is a selfish little animal: at 9 he lives in a world peopled with heroes: at 14 he bears the call of the ‘gang’ instinct, and enters upon his social being. “Indeed, the boy from birth to man- hood is passing through a succession of periods of activity, nascent periods, each period marked by a peculiar responsive- ness to characteristic activities, each ac- tivity a_heritage from the past of the race. Dewey tells us that it is the business of the teacher to seize upon trrareees rmeEs sevaRNEens cuey pecanae sarve played by the child, and to train them until they ripen and pass over into higher endeavors. Activity—growth, development; inactivity, decay, degen- eracy. “The kindergarten child learning the graphy of Palestine through sand- table work or paper-cutting exercises, the boy of 10 years becoming acquaint- ed with Jesus the hero, the boy of 12 or 14 assoclated with his fellow adoles- President Would Make Schools Link in Promoting Government these budding impulses to activity. dis- | poy ing to the most approved tenets of | present day educatichal philosophy. “But the child of 8, seated in the church auditorium, amidst a riot of sense stimali, and coerced into commit- ting a memory verse, a verse similar perhaps to the following to be found in a junior quarterly, ‘In Him was life, and the life was the light of men,’ such an unfortunate is sowing—or- having sowed for him—the seed of strong dislike for that which he might be taught to love. This is but another instance of the common practice of administering a di- lution of adult philosophy to the ‘little man.’ “Let us not be mistaken in the goal of religious instruction. Sometimes it would seem that our teachers deem it sufficient to stock the child with Biblical information. Yet have we not seen the precocious Christian of perhaps 10 years, adorned with a superficial mask of Bible lore, have we not been wit- ness frequently to such a boy's fall at 25 into the depths of religious apathy and indifference? “The educational institution which is satisfied to measure the efficiency of its work by the ‘acquirement of in- formation’ standard, the religious school whose practice is restricted to formal | question and answer methods, is con- tributing little to the life of its chil- dren. It is under such conditions that | a birthright is exchanged for a mess ' of pottage’ and souls intended for the | activities of noble living are confined | to the baser levels of superficiality. | “Said the Great Teacher, ‘Suffer lit- tle children to come unto me, and for- | bid them not, for of such is the king- dom of God. Verily I say unto you, whosoever shall not receive the king- dom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein.' Again, is_ there | not a hint of a high-grade religious pedagogy in ‘When I was a child I} spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child’ But when I became a man I was ‘prepared and ready to lay aside childish things.’ In- deed, it might be said that in these verses we find the pedagogical gist of both secular and religious instruction.” ‘That brilliant commentator and friendly critic of American institutions, James Bryce, more than 40 years ago wrote that “if the political education of the average American voter is com- pared with that of the average voter in Europe, it stands high, but if it be com- pared with the functions which the theory of American Government lays on him, which its spirit implies, which the | methods of its party organization as- sume, its inadequacy is manifest. This observation is, however, not so much a 'epros to the schools * * * as a trib- ute to the height of the ideal, which '.h'; American conception of popular rule sets up.” 'l'h!'t’ the “American conception of lar rule”. still .expects.much of -the individual—after 40 years of adding in- gredients from every quarter of the globe to our “melting pot”—is certainly a tribute to our great aggregate of edu- cational institutions. But now it is the President’s purpose to take inventory, to ascertain wherein citizenship may profit more from our stupendous investment in public in- struction, to determine how education can be made a more vital force in main- ts in the Boy Scout patrol or in the cAe:ricultuml Club—it is probable- that oIl these are being instructed accord- taining healthy reciprocal relationship between government and those gov- Made by Bremen (Continued From First Page.) t is understood that the choice has xxnrrowed down to either turbo-electric drive or high-pressure superheat and geared turbines.

Plans Three Cabin Liners. Mr. Sheedy soon will begin to discuss plans with his experts for the con- struction of three fast cabin liners to compete with foreign lines for this class of travel which is growing each year. It is his ambition to operate weekly sailings of cabin ships. It is understood that they will have a speed sufficient to drive them ' across the Atlantic in from six to seven This second program coupl with the first would place the United States Lines in a strong position on the North Atlantic, as it would enable them to operate weekly express sailings from New York and the European terminals and also maintain fast weekly cabin sailings from both sides of the Atlantic. At the present time the United States Lines is maintaining three sep- arate services with the fleets of the United States and the American Mer- chant Lines, The former operates two services, one with the Leviathan be- tween New York, Cherbourg and Southampton, the other with the America, George Washington, Repub- lic, President Harding and President Roosevelt between New York and Bre- men via Plymouth. Several of the latter also call at Cobh. Cargo Service Contemplated. The United States Lines program also calls for the acquisition of strong cargo services to supplement its t of liner tonnage. Steps in this direc- tion were taken recently when, the.| company submitted the high bid for the 18 ships in the combined fleets of the American Diamond and American France Lines. ‘The operators of these two services, which offered less than half the price submitted by the United States Lines, have succeeded in temporarily block- ing the sale by claiming preferential treatment as operators. They have since sought to bring their original {offer almost up to the high bid, bur shipping men are confident that the two cargo lines will soon be turned over to the Chapman-Sheedy interests Five of the seven Shipping Boa:d commissioners are said to favor the sale to the high bidder, but have de- ed action until the question con- cerning mail contracts that would e expected to go with these lines are passed upon by President Hoover's special cabinet committee on the mer- chant marine. Although not as spectacular as su-- perpassenger liners, cargo ships are marine power, as they are the ships that #lay so prominent a part in de- veloping foreign trade. All of the great maritime powers, especially Great Britain and Germany, owe much of their strength to their great fleets of cargo ships, which operate to all parts of the world. The American Diamond Line op- really the backbone of any merchant | ‘erates between North Atlantic ports of the United States to Antwerp and Rot- terdam, while the America France Lines rates between North Atlantic ports of the United States to Havre, Bordeaux and Dunkirk® The United States Lines, in the event of acquiring these two lines, stands. every chance of operating them successfully, for the present organization .could. absorb them without much additional overhead. the first time in many years private American interests have undertaken to build up a strong ship- ping service that will give the United States representation in the freight trades it Atlantic.. Soon the riveting guns will be roaring out their song of construc- tion and the big liners will begin to take shape as the big steel plates are fitted to their frames. Not only is the big shipbuilding race a challenge to the American Merchant Marine, but a challenge to American ingenuity. Needless to say, Americans have accepted the challenge and will endeavor to answer it in the only way they know how, and that is to give the best that is in them. J Shipping experts, while enthusiastic over the Bremen, point out that her great advance in speed over that of the Mauretania was inevitable fnas- much as the many travelers have been demanding more speed for some time. They point out that-the Mauretania was built more than 22 years 2go and that she held the record up until last week, so that the Bremen really re- sents_the ‘first important advance that has been made by marine engineers since that time. On the other hand, transportation on land has been speeded up in many di- rections, and in view of the great im-. provements which have been made in the engine building, marine experts are of the opinion that it will be feasible to build still faster liners than the Bremen.. Up until a few years ago it was held that efforts to develop liners with a speed of more than 20 knots would be too costly, as the upward curve in the cost of fuel consumption was all out of proportion for the extra knots sought over that figure. Advances have been made, however, | which make possible increased horse- power without any great additional con- sumption of fuel, and now that marine experts are really applying themselves to the task, marine engines of the fu- ture may be developed to a point where it will be possible to obtain the great speed sought without too great an in- crease in fuel consumption. The Bremen marks the third big liner which has been constructed since the war, the others being her sister ship, the Europa, and the Ile de Prance. All the other great liners, such as the Leviathan, Majestic and Aquitania, are of pre: design. This is one of the reasons for the big shipbuilding race that is now on, but, although it was known for some time that many of the companies were planning new super- ( liners, it was not believed that they would be as fast as the speeds now spoken of.

The members resolved further “that in order to show the depth of appreciation which this anniversary represents, we remove from her heart the embarrassment of re-election quad- rennially and hereby recommend the suspension of the rule bearing on the election of secretary-treasurer during her natural life for the good she has done and for the good we believe she will do to the last moment of her earth- 1y existence.

Amen.” ‘Then, to give tangible evidence of their gratitude and appreciation, the order increased Mrs. Walker's compen- sation to “$500 monthly,” “which is but fair,” the resolution states, “since the work under the new plan is doubled and the responsibility is greatly increased over the former years. Another reason for this increase in salary is the high cost of living. The preservation of the dignity of our grand order demands that we keep our honored leader in comfort without pecuniary worry, that she may give the best energy of her mind and spirit to this work.
