A" prover ' quéstion under the condi- tions is, Will they serve the purpose? State laws of course vary and it is known that "“blue sky” laws have done much for reany states, but it is the opinion of the bar association commit- in New York that those that have becn urgéd Wil not bring the desired results. and offers the additional advice that there is alteady enough gaws on the statute books to deal with such matters. Obtaining new laws accomplishes nothing if they are not going to be en- forced, and if there are laws which ar not being enforcad. or are mot being util- to mroperly punish those Who are swindling people right and left, the ad- dition of new laws is not golng to pro- vide any great amount of additional protection, Enforcement is one of the important requirements In comnection with any ‘aw, and if more attention should be devoted to that there would be a great- er degree of respect for legislation when nacted, When it is maintained “that ew York doesn't need “blue ‘sky” laws ized Ttaly, and from the appeal by the In- that new interest .will be added to the sesslon.

Semator Reed is making a great howl doesn’t like the way it was negotlated and he doesn't like what Senator Lodge says it will accomplish, He ls raising all sorts of fitmsy objections which can ‘carry no weight but give him the ob- voitunity to'get in his work as an ob- :itructionist. ' If it happéned to be sp that he was presenting good arguments fru* support of the stand he is taking the siuation would be different. In connection with the w kich were made by Senator Lodge, a1\d some of them were in Teply to qu bstions which were asked by the sen- ator from Missouri, Senator ~ Reed th(mght it was useless to bother about they Tatification of the treaty if all that is to be obtained by it is a consultation with other nations. This was the view he toolc after the explanation had been givem that it did not mean an alliance and ' tkat the treaty called for a consul- tation. of naticns when misunderstand- explaations ings 1rose concerning their rights. He: seemed to have gotten the idea that such was entirely useless. That it would be preferable to permit the Anglo -Fapanese alliance to remain and to have a war cloud hanging in the dis- tance of the time and to fly to arms before thinking of a conference. But the other hand if the semator from souri is so much opposed to the 1re and can find nothing in it more harmful than the fact that it calls for 'a consulzation of nations, what is theve in sueh a requirement that makes tirat it ought to be thrown Even if we are not to get as he thinks we are not being bound is going to be very detri mental when we are required to consttit.

Sefore any international conference, at which the Russian prob- lem could be discussed with any chance for success, can take place, the following conditions must be' re- alized within Russia: 1. The establishment of a legal or- der that would protect and guaran- tee personal and property rights in Russia. (As it was admirably stated| in Secretary Hughes' note of March 25, 1921, “production is conditioned upon the safety of life, the recogni- tion by firm guarantees of private property, the sanctity of contract and the rights of free labor.”). 2. Free elections to a representative assembly, which would lay the found- ation for a government enjoyink the confidence of the people of Russ The nations of the world cannot deal and coeperate with a gov, does not possess sufficient stability Only when such changes are consu- mated (to use the <cxpression from Secretary Hughes' note), only then can a common langudge be found between the Russian delegates and the outside world. Without such' a common lan- guage, the conference is useless, sven harmful. Upon the conditions as now proposed, the conference in Genoa' is a compromise with Bolshevism at the very moment when the Bolshevist re- gime is nearly its logical and inevita- ible end.

It was proposed to bulld a modern fire- proof building in Gales Ferr: where the most crowded conditions exist; con- solidate thres as more weak or over- crowded schools, and begin the work by offering the children of Led- yvard the best educational advantages possible to us. There is no public means of transgor-| tation to the town center. The six miles of country rdad, deep in mud, were ne- gotiated Wwith difficulty. Two trucks | and one automobils, all- carrying voters were stalled on the way. A considera-| ble part of the distance was covered on foot. No seats were provided. At least 170 people’ stood erowded uncomfortadbly, | during the three hours' meeting. Dofitless conditions more unra\rr able for an immediate adjustment such differences of opinion as exist be- tween - people thinking chiefly of the benefit to the children and those think- ingly large of the expense.
