Agreement ?>n Naval Program
IT is in the "atmosphere" at Washington
that another plenary session of the con
ference 011 the limitation of armaments will
i-e called this week to receive ilie momentous
announcement of an agreement on a naval
program. That program is based on the
."?-o-3 ratio, suggested by Secretary Hughes,
and rigidly adhered to by the American and |
British delegation?. Washington dispatches
are most optimistic in lone and stop short
only of an otliclal announcement that Japan
lias accepted the Hughe? plan. Indeed, ii I
:nay be accepted that Tokyo has yielded,
idiandoning its earlier demand for a higher
?atio for itself, and now is merely bargain- j
ing in an effort to retain new battle- I
hhip Mutsu. Whether or not it is success- ?
J nl in it> effort, Japan will sign the con- j
?volition. Possibly, in the interests of liar- j
luouy, it will be permitted to keep the
jMutsu, scrapping its equivalent in older i
nliips it had been permit tod to keep tinder
ilie original plan. in that event. Great
Britain anil the United States, of course. I
would also Im? permitted to retain the most j
modern ships of their own selection under !
the same terms. (Jr. it is possible, although I
not probable, that tlu total number of ships j
permitted to tach nation might be increased, i
while not impairing tii<- 0-f?-3 ratio. Hut
these are merely details that arc being

rcfoundlng of ..International relations. Crawl
ing com oh before walking, and the start that
has now been made, if hesitant and in
conclusive, is clearly in tho direction of the
gonl upon which the gaze of world idealism
has been fixed since the opening of the
Paris conference.
League Stands Vindicated
IT was not necessary for Senator Horati or
Senator Heed to remind the country and
the world that in tho negotiation of the
new quadruple treaty for the promotion of
peace in tho Pacific, the conference on limi
tation of armaments recognized the broad
principle of Article X. of tho league qf na
tions covenant. Not. even the disavowal of
Senator Lodge, to whom was accorded the
distinction of announcing the text of the
treaty, on the subject of fixed guarantees,
removed tho fact that the Washington con
ference proceeded along exactly the same
lines as did the Paris peace conference* in
safeguarding tho territorial rights.of na
tions.
For purely political reasons tho Harding
administration has repudiated the sugges
tion that America has put its hand and seal
to an international convention applying the
paramount principle of the league covenant,
but that repudiation will not stand. It will
deceive no onn who lias thoughtfully con
sidered the two compacts, and it ought not
to deceive any one.
The manly and candid thing for tho
Presideut and his Secretary of State to do
in the present situation would he to issue
a plain-spoken declaration to the effect that
tJreat Hritain, Prance, Japan and tho United
States have united in u treaty to respect tho
rights each of the other in the Pacific, and
to maintain existing conditions in that quar
tet of th" globe, just as the league of na
tions covenant bound the members of the
league to respect the rights of all members
and to maintain conditions in Europe exist
ing at tlie time the league was formed.
It might he added, in truth, that the
league covenant provided for tho exercise
of all available resources on the part of
members to maintain the rights of each
other, whereas the Pacific treaty merely
provides for a conference of signatories to
determine, in case of international differ
ences, what shall he done about it. There
is more than a mi;re technical distinction be
tween tho two measures on that point, but
unless the signatories feel themselves bound
in honor, if not by written stipulation, to
enforce the purposes of tho treaty, then
it is a "scrap of paper"?a perfectly futile j
inst rument.
Senator Lodge, in his original exposition
of the treaty, took particular pains t'> in
form the country that the measure con
tained "no provision for the use of force
to carry out any of the terms of the agree
ment," then adding that "no military or
naval sanction lurks anywhere in tho hack
ground or under cover of these plain and j
direct terms."
Even so, the "moral force" is there, the ?
same moral force that President Wilson ;
urged in behalf of the league covenant, and i
it it is not to he invoked, the treaty might j
as well go to the scrap basket now. In
his defense of the treaty Senator Poindexter j
could only observe that it changes nothing.
Senator Uorah's reply wa;* that in that event
there was no occasion for a new entente, .
a reply that definitely stated the case. i
At the moment there is 110 organized op- j
position to the treaty. A few individual
Senators have announced their purpose to
light it, but party lines are not drawn. That ;
the Republican majority will go along may
bo assumed, and Democratic. Senators who
supported the league can scarcely find fault j
with a measure that so generously vindl- |
cates their stand. j
A Surprise to the Trade
THE crop reporting board of tho De
partment ot Agriculture sprang q-iite
a surprise on the trade in the statement
it gave out announcing the final forecast
for this year's cotton crop and, incidentally,
it felt called upon to do some explaining. J
The estimate of the year's production was
placed at 8,340,000, which represents an
increase of 1,800,000 bales over the last
forecast. This discrepancy between the fig
ures of the two estimates was larger than I
^ heretofore been made by the crop re- !
porting board. Usually the figures have
varied only slightly.
What caused the discrepancy? Well, j
among other things, the board intimates ,
that tho growers double-crossed its field
statisticians by exaggerating the reduction >
in acreage on the basis of reports made as '
of Juno "While many growers actually !
reduced their acreage," says the??. board,
"others took advantage ?,f the propaganda
.-? ntiinent and proceeded to increase their ;
j own acreage." Titus is again demonstrated ?
I the truth of the saying that "there are '
trelcs in all trade.-,." The growers turned
? th" trick by which there was forced sharp
advuuc< in the price of the staple following
? the report as of September Hut these
advances were short-lived. The trade d?
j cl'.ned to accept the figures as reliable after
? analyzing them, with the result that the '
market soon turned downward again.
I True, the hoard attributes some of tho
' ineTease to favorable weather conditions
since th" last condition report 011 Septem- '
he- , which permitted the maturing of j
; la'1 cotton aiul to -unue oi'it r favorable
' cei ditiins; b it it i.. constrained to pla?o
tiie burden of tlx dnvrepuucx on the mis- 1
j leading data on which the estimate was !

ket declined on publication ot the figures
o! the last estimate, the eiop is ?till short
enough to give assurance of advancing prices
, later in the season, ii world conditions im
prove to the point of creating anything like
a normal consumptive demand. .Mr. Hoover,
in his survey of world conditions, gives as
1 ranee that there is slow but Steady Ini
| provemeut in all of the war-devastated coun
tiies, and these are the principal buyers of
t .e staple Aside from the poverty of the
:.iln.?trial countries of Europe, tin; principal
i : ? ? t'<r now holding down prices is the large

.)i - !<? Shoals project trea> ? the matter
fn.tu an .nigh th,i' has enlisted growing
? ;.ppf?rt in the South since th" Detroit inan'ii
proposal became public. .Mr. Edison's opin
ion is that operation and development ot
tiie great plant thore by Mr. Ford would re
sult in "u good profit fur tho pooplo."
This popular prollt would cotno In several
forms. Generally considered. tho multiplied
advantages to tho public of au Industrial
empire like that forecast by tho Ford plans
do not require onunioratiou. Tho employ
ment ?f several hundred thousand persons,
perhaps as many us a million, would bo lu
itself a factor of Incalculable benefit. But
relatively tho two big Items of tho Ford
program are these: tho development of al
most unlimited power, and tho production
of fertilizer 011 a scale, and by a plan, that
would mako it available to all farmers of
tho country.
Mr. Edison's thoughts evidently aro cen
tered largely upon tho probablo output of
cheap fertilizer when ho mentions tho "good
profit" that would como to tho people
through tho effectuation of the Ford project.
While tho electrical wizard is not In tho
ordinary ?ense porhaps a practical farmer,
he Is fairly well up in tho runks as a chem
ist; and liis views on tho practical popular
benefits of a Ford-directed fertilizer plant
at Muscle Shoals desorvo respect.
There may be room l'or an honest differ
ence of opinion as to the cost of completing
tho Musclo Shoals dam, but tho worth of
tho Ford project to tho public may hardly
be questioned.
Chicago's chief 01" police has complained

cipline and co-oporatlon In liis department.
It appears, however, that there will be gen

of these guaranteed "cold" cures in a doEc or

they aro well laden with poison, auch an
ncctanillde, phcnacetln, acetyl-siUieylle. aebl j

tiiat any medicine or combination of medi

considers the simple layman very simple in-j

There are at least twenty distinct com-j

"colds." I'll name the more familiar one*:!
Coryza (accent on tho eyes, though the germ" 1
are mostly in the nose), influenza, diphtheria.!

What Is the best way to check or treat
such an illness* In the early stage?
1. Go to bed. Rest is cheaper than medi
cine.
2. Let no one venture within th*: five-foot j
dead line, unless prop?-rly masked with at least
seven thicknesses of surgeon's gauze over nose
and mouth.
8. Take half a bottle of solution of citrate t
of magnesium fallout a glassful); take the1
other half bottle two hours later.
a. No food for from twelve to twenty-four,
hour*?. _ j
C. All the water or lemonade yo\i can drink.!
hot or cold.
C. IC there is soreness in the chest, a mus- ;
tard paste should be applied, wutchcd, and re- j
moved in ten to thirty minutes if the^skin
reddens under it.
7. A hot mustard foot hath i:i bed. This
is the most effective remedy 1 know of, but
it requires the care of some one with nursing
ability. It pays to call in a nurse to admin
ister this, if no one in the household is com
petent as a practical nurse.
S. Wreathe nothing but cold air If cold air
is available.
9. If the throat jVels sore, apply cloths
