European federation on the Briand | engaged the attention of a full-| session of the League of Nations #t Geneva Priday. Its gifted and elo- quent architect, the veteran foreign #hinister of France, submitted and sup- ported his scheme in the artful and persuasive style of which he is such & msster. But Briand's words soon evoked dthers which revealed at a flash into What a world of divergent views and fhterests the United States of Europe Project has been flung. It was Arthur Henderson, British foreign secretary, who forthwith en- fred objections to the Briand proposal. The French statesman had glorified #nd advocated it as something which Would lay deep and well the founda- tions of European peace. Mr. Hen- derson argued that M. Briand is put- #ing the cart before the horse. The Tabor spokesman who presides over Britain’s foreign affairs designated dis- armament in Europe as the condition Precedent to Old World federation. “Disarmament must come first,” said Henderson in effect, and added that Without it, in Britain's opinion, no sys- tems or combinations, Whether inside or outside the League, could insure @lther peace or Becurity in Europe. “YLet us disarm,” he declared, “and se- ‘urity will follow. Then federation can follow that” The voice of an appar- ently united British Empire is’ behind the Henderson thedry, for Sir Robert , speaking in the name of Can- afiirmed the Dominion’s ¥iew that renunciation of armaments is the primary éssential to péace. The existence of these two opposing #chools of thought, federation first or t first, does not definitely doom M. Briand's enterprise. But until they can be reconciled it is erystal- @lear that the United States of Europe i headed for an uphill fight. Britain's eagerness for disarmament #prings from her grave economic plight. It is on that accomnt that she has The Yachts Are Ready. ‘Today the fourteenth regatta for the America’s Cup, the supreme world trophy for yaching supremacy, is to Start in the waters off Newport, if the Winds suffice for a race.

Arkansas democracy “slipped & fhst one over” yesterday. In State conven- tion the Demacrats there indorsed their favorite son, Senator “Joe” Robinson, for the presjdential Homination in 1932, ‘Whether it will reach the proportions of a storm it is too early to say. But with- in a few hours from New York and Maryland, where Govs. Roosevelt and Ritchie are being groomed for the presidential race iWo years hence, the storm stgnals began to fiy. Also, at the same time that the Arkansas Democrats Were casting Mr. Robinson’s hat in the ring for him, Senator Burton K. Wheeler of Montana was attacking national pro- hibition as a fatlure and that the Democratic party in 1932 would nominate a presidentisl candidate favorable to the Tepeal of the eight- eenth amendment. Senator Robinson was the party's cholce as & running mate for Alfred E. | Smith in 1928. His name was put for- ward for the presidential nomination in the Democratic National Conventidns of 1920 and 192¢. He s and has been for several years the Democratic leadeér of the Senate. He served with distinc- tion as a member of the American dele- gation to the London Naval Conference this year. And more récently he was triumphantly renominated for the Sen- ate by the Democrats of his State. It may well appear that Senator Robinson has real claims for the leadership of his party in the next presidential campaign. The action of the Democratic State Conyeéntion in Arkansas might have passed with less comment had it not been for & statement made prior to the indorsement of Senator Robinson, in which former Gov. Charles H. Brough told the delegates that both Gov. Roose- velt and Gov. Ritchie had promised to support Robinson for the presidential nomination, provided of course, they could not have the plum themselves. He undertook to quote Gov. Roosevelt directly, but gave, as his authority for the Ritchie support of Robinson, Chief Justice Samuel K. Dennis of Maryland. In quoting Gov. Roosevelt, the former Governor of Arkansas said that the New York Governor admitted that he himself might be a candidate for the presidential nomination, but that he was “having trouble with Tammany” and that if he could not be nominated there was no man he would rather sup- port than Robinson. Gov. Roosévelt's secretary last night promptly issued a statement on behalf of the Governor saying that Brough's statement to the Arkansas delegates was full of “inaccuraciés.” Chief Justiee Dennis declared he hud made no state- ment regarding Gov. Ritchie's leaning toward the Robinson candidacy and that he had never seen Brough. In other words, the Governors of New York and Maryland are by nho means ready at this time to walve any claims they may have to the presi- dential nomination, or to bolster up the claims of any other candidate for that nomination. And why should they? They are both “wets,” and the Demo- cratic leaders of the East and West are leaning more and more strongly to can- didates who favor repeal of the eight- eenth amendment. The high praise meted out to Gov. Roosevelt for his declardtion in favor of the repeal of the eighteenth amend- ment, In which John J. Raskob, Demo- cratic national chairman, promptly joined, apparéntly has Brought rum-! blings from the Ritchie headquarters. | Gov. Ritchie has been fighting year in and year out for a return to State con- trol of the liquor traffic. He sees no reason for this sudden wave of approval for the New York Governor and, indeed, thinks his own plan for liquor control is better than that advanced by Roose- velt. Bo the sparring for the presi- dential nomination goes, although the does not meet for nearly two years. Democrats who are intent at present upon winning as many Senate and Housé seats as they can in the Novem- Ber elections are Irankly disgusted that proponients of the various “presidential possibilities” should begin wrangling at this time. These leaders of the con- gressional campaign are of the opinion that it is far too early to talk of “‘cab- bages and kings” or candidates. “Joe” Robinson’s hat is In the ring, however, and it will be interesting to see what the New York Democratic convention does when it meets later this month. e e Radlo becomes a taskmaster.

The new flood lghts, boundary Hghts and obstriction markers are the latest of their types and provide the maximum of safety for night fAyers. The food lights are twice the capacity that the Department of Commerce specifies for airports of this size. If Washington cannot have a munici- pal field to be proud of, it can find some consolation in the development of pri- Vate fitlds.

Planes can be chartered for trips of any distance and sight-sééing excursions over the city are conducted regularly. It is the terminal for the New York ‘and Washington afr line, which runs every hour on the hour, and the installa- | ‘others tion of the new equipment makes it possible for these planes to land after dark. One of its most desirable fea- tures 18 its proximity to the city.

One of the chief sources used is Gaston Maspero's “Ancient History of the Peoples of the Orient.” Solomon is represented as being wise from birth, not as acquiring wisdom through ex- perience. When he was only 3 years old he decided a case for King David, who sat in judgment in his Hall of the Cedarwood Pillars, A woman who had been forced into exile had left her treasure of gold coins, buried in seven itchers of honey, with & neighbor. On er return the neighbor had given back the pitchers of honey, but without the. gold coins. Solomon ordered the honey poured from the pitchers into other pitchers, and then that the original pitchers be broken in piéces. When & gold plece was found sticking to a plece of earthenware, he pronounced judg- ment on the neighbor as a thief. When Solomon was 7 years old two men came to King David to ask judgment over a fleld in which treasure had“been found. rchased the fleld from to give him the treasure, saying that he had purchased the land only; but the second said that he had purchased the land from & third man, now dead, without heirs. Bolomon decided that the son of the first man and the daughter of the sec- ond man should marry, and that the be their marriage por- tion. When Bolomon was 10 years old three brothers came for ,g:dzment. As their father he had said that onc of them was his true son and that the son should haye all his prop- erty. ich should be the heir? Solo- mon had the father's corpse brought and bound to a and then ordered forehead, but the third threw his bow and arrow to the ground and refused to desecrate his father's corpse. He was declared the true son and heir. After this the 'geomg. when %y came to the Hall of the Cedarwood Pillars for ju ment, clamored for Solomon, and mother, Bathsheba, rejoiced greatly, for she schemed that her son should suc- ceed his father, David.
