J'liur to the War of tlie Kebclliou the (las
of the United States Hew over ittercliant ships
in every port of the union. When that war
was ended the Stars and Stripes had vanished
from the trade f the Seven Sea. St) it re
mained, until the war with Spain aroused the
rountry to the need of vessels in which to trans
port soldiers. Little va- done to remedy the
M'ttiation, although certain subvention were
granted to vessels in the South American and
l'acific- trade, and the merchant marine lan
guished. When the World War came on, it found
America unready, for want of ships. Feverish
activity succeeded the lethargy, and energy and
wealth was lavished on the creation of cargo
carriers that could not he improvised. One
thousand five hundred million dollars expended
on building these vessels is charged to war cost,
but the ships still float and many of them are
engaged in commerce.
What the president suggests is the granting
of a comparatively small sum to encourage ship
owners to engage in commerce carrying under
the' American flag. If the United States is
to 'send its products abroad and bring its pur
chases home under the Stars and Stripes, some
thing of the sort must be done. Germany built
up its merchant marine on that basis, and is
restoring it on the same plan. Great Britain
has never hesitated to grant a subsidy when it
was needed. These, with Japan, which notor
iously subsidizes its shipping, wll be America's
chief competitors. The question to be decided
is, will we pay a subsidy and build tip anew
a merchant' marine, or will we allow the com
merce of the world to be controlled by our competitors?
What the Four-Power Pact Means.
Democratic politicians are centering opposi
tion to the work of the arms limitation confer
ence upon Article II of the four-power treaty
between the United States, France, Japan and
Great Britain for "the maintenance of their
rights in relation to their insular possessions and
insular dominions in the region of the Pacific."
They profess to fear that this article may draw
the United States into a war for the aggrandize
ment of Japan. Japan, they declare, may pro
voke aggression by Russia or some other nation
and, in that case, command the aid of the United
States in war. , $f
Let us read this important clause:
If the said rights are threatened by the ag
gressive action of. any other power, the high
contracting parties shall communicate with one
another fully and frankly in order to arrive at
an understanding as to the most efficient
measures to be taken, jointly or separately, to
meet the exigencies of the particular situation.
What docs that mean? It means simply and
only that the four powers serve notice on the
rest of the world that they feel a common in
terest in maintaining peace on the Pacific. It
means that, in case of threatened disturbance,
they will consider each case upon its merits and
decide vliat action may be justified. No sig
natory is bound to do aught but "communicate
with one another fully and frankly."
This is not a fixed and unchangeable alliance.
It is not a new League of Nations' Article X,
which bound members of the league to act in ac
cordance with the will of a council of nations sit
ting in Europe, upon which the United States
would have but a single vote among many. No
nation can command the support of another in the
case of provoked aggression. The merit of its
case will be determined when the atase arises.
There can be no danger in that.
The four-power pact proposes negotiation;
the League of Najions which these same demo
cratic politicians endorsed proposed a "binding
alliance for war.
Ak-Sar-Ben's Promised Pageant.
The Board of Governors of Ak-Sar-Ben is
considering making the long promised change
in the quality of amusement afforded the citi
zens of Quivera during the annual fall festival.
When the great Ak-Sar-Ben field was acquired,
several years ago. a series of amusement en
terprises -as outlined, including the races and
the exposition, neither of which is to be elimi
nated. To these will be added the carnival,
which will be removed from the downtown
streets to a location that will afford the oppor
tunity for a better exhibition. Most important,
at present, is the project for adding to the eve
ning entertainment a great pageant display.
Tentative plans contemplate, for the opening
event at least, a;pageant builded on the Coronado
. expedition,; with its unlimited, opportunity for
the employment of processions, dances, choruses
and the like, in the presentation of a very in
teresting chapter of history, one that not many
know and with which all should be familiar.
This has the advantage of providing, entertain
ment and information at once. While all details
are not settled, the Board of Governors looks
favorably on the undertaking, and the public
might at well accuttotit itseM to lliluliug ft
pagranti in connection with Ak-Sar-Reii'g fU
jubilations, for the idea is fait growing and i
I My to bloftom toon.
If Lloyd George Coe$ Out.
The only survivor of the I'ario group among
she national leaders, David Lloyd George, is ap
parently making his last stand against in opposi
tion that has steadily grown in power since the
Treaty of Versailles w signed. That the coalition
hy which he has been enabled to hold a majority
in the Houte of Commons is going to pieces
may be taken proof that the Hritisli feel they
have recovered from the war sufficiently to take
once more upon themselves the divisions and
consequent differences that arise from local is
sues. If this view is warranted, the overthrow
of the premier will not be an unmixed calamity.
David Lloyd George came into prominence
as chancellor of the exchequer in the Asquith
cabinet of l8. It was his budget of 1 909 that
i rally marked him as a strong leader, a new ele
ment in British politics. Going to the country
on the issues raised by the Lloyd George scheme
for national taxation, the Asquith cabinet won a
decisive victory. The isuc was coupled with
"end or mend" the House of Lords, and the
hereditary peers discretely withdrew and allowed
the tax bill to go through as the people ordained.
Lloyd George remained in office continually
under Mr. Asquith, till in 1915 he formed the
coalition group, overturned his chief, and was
called by the king to head the government and
carry on the war. A remarkable chapter of Eng
lish history has brrm written by this man, who
is now reported to be weary and willing to resign
the care of his great office. No attempt will be
made here to appraise his services, nor to record
his accomplishments. The fact that for seven
years, longer than the average length of a British
cabinet's life (five years), he has held office amid
the strife of war and the stress of the tremendous
job of returning an empire from war to peace,
disturbances at home and abroad to deal with, is
probably the highest possible testimonial to his
skill as a manager. The solid foundation of Brit
ish institutions he will leave unshaken.'
Who will be called to succeed him does not
appear. Asquith, perhaps, or Arthur Balfour, or
Birkenhead, and even Chamberlain may be con
sidered as within the raiige of possibilities. It
is questionable whether either of these, or any
other man, will not soon be forced to go to the
country on the general election, clamor for which
is rising. British domestic politics will have
many interesting phases within the coming
months, and not the least will be the reaction
to the thought that the turn of the election will
be uninfluenced by the canvass of Ireland.
Row Between Departments.
A nice little family dispute is growing in the
president's cabinet, possession of control of the
Forest service, now under Secretary Wallace,
being sought by Secretary Fall. The head of
the Interior department has accused the Agricul
tural department of emitting misleading and un
fair propaganda, with unwarranted reflections of
the Interior and its purposes. This is a matter
for determination. What is true is that the
friends of forestry in the United States have
joined in an unanimous protest against the pro
posed change. This does not rest on the
thought that under the Interior department the
Forest service would be unwisely administered;
but that it would be dislocated, because separated
from the allied bureaus of Department of Agri
culture. Forestry is coming to have a frpnt rank place
in national economy, and will grow in importance
as the years go on. Just now it is not so much
a question of the conservation and management
of existing forest areas as it is one of control
and restoration of denuded regions. Coupled
with this is the even greater work of interesting
all land owners, wherever located, in the planting
and proper mantenance of wood lots. All who
have gone, into the matter thoroughly are agreed
that the proper place for the forestry bureau is
tinder the department where it now exists, and
where it operates in close relation with the Bu
reau of Plant Pathology, the Bureau of Animal
Industry, the Insecticide and Fungicide board
and the Federal Horticultural board, the work of
these groups being closely related, and their ar
ticulation being therefore almost indispensible.
If the Bureau of Education and of Pensions
are to be removed from the Interior department,
find the importance of that branch of the admin
istrative machine is to be compensated by the
transfer of other bureaus, it should be ac
complished at less expense to the public service
than by the transfer of the Forest service. '
"Trail of Broken Promises."
Reviewing the first year of Harding's admin
istration, Senator "Pat" Harrison says it is a trail
of broken promises. Chairman Hull echoes the
statement. Only the promises were made by
the democrats. By what authority these brethren
assume to speak for the republican administra
tion we can not say, but they have been busy
ever since the 4th of March, 1921, and even be
fore, telling the world what the republicans were
going to do, and what they ought to do, and
what the democrats wanted them to do, and from
this seem to have reached the conclusion that it
is up to the republicans to do all the things the
democrats say should be done.
When Woodrow Wilson was in the White
House democratic initiative was repressed, and
probably distressed as well. The president told
the party what to do, and it took its orders
meekly and carried out instructions after the
fashion of democracy, in a haphazard, aimless
sort of way, wasting a lot of time, effort and
money and getting nowhere. Now that the
great minds of the party are permitted to func
tion for themselves, no longer held in leash by
the White House, they naturally feel the' urge to
tell somebody where to head in and what to do.
So far they have had little success with the rc
publfcan president, but that will not deter them
from spouting about broken promises, failure to
accomplish, and all that sort of thing. The peo
ple understand the situation, and will accordingly
pay no attention.

(From the Boston Transcript)
riecau.e he U a firm believer in the Treaties
of Washington, because he values even moie
the example tt at Wahiugtoii (f agreement
after conference in preference t "covenanted
coercion " because he looks upon the whole ex
periment in preventive diplomacy there begun
around "the tabic of international understand
ing" as an advance (or the wtuU under Ameri
can leadership, George What ton Popper, United
States senator trout t'cniisylvania, is opposed to
the reduction of the regular army below 150,fXM),
or the crippling of the jiavy by any reduction in
its already inadequate personnel. In his ad
dress bclurc the Kepublitsti Club of Masaeliii
eetss, be registered his protest against all suilt
proposals. He accompanied l" protest with
an appeal to the club to yivc its support to a
wise policy of national delcusc, to a system of
training with the colors lor national citizenship
begun at Plattsburg tindrr the leadership of
Leonard Wum, and for the maintenance of a
"treaty navy," every ship uf which ehall be not
half manned, but completely manned with the
best trained personnel the nation can produce,
and completely equipped with the best guns
that the nation can build, and the best ammuni
tion that the nation ran numifaauie.
As a member of the senate committee on
military affairs, Senator Pepper is aware of the
activities of the pacifists and the pork barrel
polilicans in both houses of congress. It i his
misfortune daily to be in association with them,
lie must know that they ate the real enemies
toilay of the Conference of Washington, the
real conpirators against the ratification of the
Treaties of Washingtoif. This is so for the
reason that their organiied effort to send the
military and naval establishments of the United
States to the junk heap ahead of the thirty
capital ships for whose scrapping the five-power
treaty provides will, if it succeed' even in part,
convince the world that America's contribution
to the success of the conference was not, as we
have been informed, initiative 'and sacrifice, but
that her initiative and sacrifice to that end was
neither more nor less than cowardice and selfish
ness camouflaged by the art of diplomacy to
look like initiative and sacrifice. Of course
Senator Pepper will be a candidate in the Penn
sylvania primaries for nomination, and as a
candidate he will be under obligation to abide
the result of the primary, and to support the
republican congressional ticket in Pennsylvania
regardless of what is done at Washington in
the respeect of national defense and other prob
lems of equal importance. But independent
newspapers having at heart the welfare of the
whole country, and individual voters holding in
contempt alike the pork barrel politicians, are
under no such obligation.
If the president and his strong cabinet arc
unwilling or unable to put a stop to the stam
pede in the direction of the socialistic party that
is now threatened at the other end of the ave
nue, if the president and his strong cabinet are
unable to secure from this congress authority
to retain our regular army at approximately
150,000 and a navy of at least 90.000, the plain
people of the United States will, we believe,
prove themselves to be equal to the emergency,
and the proof of that they will manifest in the
forthcoming republican primaries, here and else
where, and in the November election, by send
ing to Washington new republicans and new
democrats committed to a safe and sane system
of national policy, thereby putting this vital
question on a plane above party partisan con
ditions. ( .
We have looked in vain through the presi
dent's addresses in the first year of his admin
istration for that endorsement and support of
his secretary of war and his secretary of the
navy that a president endowed with so strong
a cabinet might reasonably be expected to give.
This is said not in criticism of Mr. Harding, but
only in reiteration of the hope that having ob
tained the budget system he will back it up,
that having surrounded himself with a strong
cabinet he will, back it up, that having been
committed by his party to strong policies, he
will back up his commitment. Now is the time
and Washington the place for the president to
display those qualities of leadership in respect
to . national defense which he has already shown
upon other occasions. His treaties may get
through the senate in a reasonable time, but
they will not find the favor with the country
which their negotiators believe they should, if it
turns out that in addition to the sacrifices that
the nation has made in those engagements we
are to be left dependent upon the Anglo
Japanese navy and the Franco-Japanese army
for our defense by sea and for the shouldering
on land of our responsibilities in the family of
free nations. It is in view of these considera
tions that the protest of Senator Pepper, so
heartily endorsed by the republicans of Massa
chusetts, mav well arrest attention at Washing
ton, and at both ends of Pennsylvania avenue.
Ours is not a pacifist people at heart not a
sordid and cowardly people. The American
people love peace, but they love all the more
their liberty, their independence and the right
eousness that alone exaltcth the nation.
Indian Affairs
Satisfaction with tlie treatment of American
Indians by the federal government is expressed
in the thirty-ninth annual report of the .Indian
Rights association.
The association feels that the least the gov
ernment can do. after having taken a continent
that Originally belonged to the Indians, is to
protect those who remain and. train them for
citizenship. At the close cf the' last fiscal year
the Indian population of the United States, ex
clusive of Alaska, was 340,838. and of that num
ber 101,506 were members of the five civilized
tribes, including freemen and intermarried
whites. Of 55,141 families, 44.195 live in perma
nent homes and 10,946 families live in tepees,
tents and temporary structures; 184,968 Indians
are citizens; tribal property was valued at $190,
600,152, and property owned by individuals at
$526,105,350. This high per capita wealth is
largely due to the discovery of oil on Indian
owned lands. Where such owners are still wards
of the government, they are not permitted to
sell their land, but they share' in the income, and
many of them have become wealthy. In the five
civilized tribes the birth rate exceeds the death
rate in a normal ratio and there is little ground
for the prediction that the Indians are vanishing.
If they cease to exist as a race, it will be because
of intermarriage with both whites and blacks.

To Aid Girl's Growth.
Mrs. A. T. writes: "Are there any
exercises you could suggest to in
fluence a girl's growth?
"My daughter is 17 and undersiz
ed. I can't notice that she has
grown in tha last year. At what age
does a girl usually stop growing?"
IlEPLY.
Growth continues until about 15
years of age. but the growth in
height of a girl is very slight after
17 years of age.
Our growing apparatus is wound
up at birth. It is set to go for a
certain number of years and then to
stop, and we cannot change the
"predestination" to any great ex
tent. Plenty of good, wholesome, plain
food such as milk, meat, bread and
vegetables, plenty of sleep and plen
ty of outdoor exercise help some
what. The amount of good milk is gen
erally set at one pint: of sleep, at
nine hours. Tennis, golf and horse
back riding are good forms of exer
