'THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTOX, D €., WEDNESDAY., OCTOBER 30, 1929. - HOLDSUS MLST | -~ AGREETO TREATY Princeton Professor Says Married Fifty Years | Other Nations Will “Consid- J‘ er Us Nation of Bluff.” Unless other nations are to “consider us as a Nation of bluff,” the Senate must ratify the pan-American treaty of arbi- tration, Prof. John B. Whitton of Princeton University declared today at a meeting of the National Council for the Prevention of War at the Dodge Hotel. “Should the United States ratify this treaty?” Prof. Whitton asked. “Let us address ourselves to an attempt to an- swer this vital question which will soon be considered by the United States | Senate if met by the country as a whole. | “The first reason, it seems to me, | which should lead up to ratify this treaty is that otherwise we would play false to our traditions as a peace-loving .eountry and as perhaps the outstand- dng leader in the movement for interna- tional justice. | “The rebirth of arbitration in our modern State system and its rise to| the position even beyond that which it once held among the Greeks was due wvery largely to the United States. After ~Anscribing the principle of arbitration “In our articles of confederation for the settlement of disputes between the sev eral States, we gave it practical ex- | pression in our international rclnt!unsi through the great Jay treaty of 1794, | ‘'wherein we joined with Great Britain | in confiding several vital outstanding| questions to international arbitral com- missions. After thus making arbitra- tion at the outset a cardinal principle of our foreign policy we continued our good record with some exceptions. of course, in the nineteenth century. Dur- 'dng this period we were a party to 60 arbitrations.” The speaker was particularly anxious !Bo impress upon his audience the im- tiportance of American ratification of ghe treaty. “If ratified,” he added, “it will mean that for the first time the ‘American States have accepted a |multilateral treaty favoring compulsory arbitration in principle and accepting 4t in fact for a limited type of cases. | 3¢ lived up to in good faith this treaty may constitute a real contribution to the cause of justice. Such a step was inevitable once the Briand-Kellogg pact Thad been ratified and if adopted in its present form without mutilation or im- portant modification it will mean that our Senate has gone on record as being in favor of limited obligatory arbitra- tion and not A mere sham variety of it.

Four Lills affecting District public schools were passed, three failed of | enactment, and one other which had been framed was not fi _roduced into Congress during the 1928-29 school year, it was pointed out by Dr. Frank | W. Ballou, superintendent of school | in"the fourth section of his annual re- port made public today. | _In_the fourth section of his report | Dr. Ballou discussed briefly the legisla- | tion that was prepared and supported | by the Board of Education during the | last school year, and called attention | to certain other legislation which did | not originate with the school board, but | which affects the public school system | directly or indirectly. Two Were Board’s Ideas. Two of the four bills which vere passed by Congress during 1928-29, one providing the amendment of certain | sections of the teachers' salary act, and the other exempting individual school | board members from personal lability board, were on the Board of Educa- tion's own legislative program of five bills. The other two bills which were | passed during the last year were the diploma mill law and the healing arts law, which places the superintendent ! of schools on the commission which regulates the practice of those arts in the District. ‘The bills which failed to pass were free-textbook bill, the bill providing exemption of public school teachers from the $2,000 salary limitation and a second five-year school building pro- gram measure, The first of these measures was on the school board's legislative program for the year. The passage of the first was prevented, Dr. Ballou's report explains, by the in- sistence of Senator Heflin of Alabama that the bill should include amend- ments _incorporating ‘“certain views which he holds with respect to the matter of separation of church and state.” Left on Calendar. The $2,000 salary limitation bill, which would permit the School Board to hire employes of Government depart- | ments who have valuable expert knowl- | edge which could be an asset to the course of instruction offered in night | schools, was left on the calendar when Congress adjourned. The fifth of the School Board's bills, | that providing leave of absence with | part pay for teachers and officers, was drafted and approved by ‘the School Board, which then submitted it to the District Commissioners. Commis- sioners, in turn, had a study of the bill made by the Bureau of Efficlency. The efficiency report recommended cer- tain modification, and these will be made during the current season, the re- port sets forth. ‘The second five-year school building program, as prepared by the School Board, was introduced in Congress, but hearings were not held on it. Subse- quently Representative Simmons of Ne- braska, chairman of the subcommittee on appropriations, introduced a bill designed to accomplish the same pur- pose as the School Board's second five- year program bill. Hearings were not held on this measure either. CONVERTS TO MEET. Right Rev. John M.
