Lord Curzon'a speech in London yesterday is only an addition to ac cumulating evidence that British and French policies are drifting apart, and that misunderstandings are arising which make more and more difficult the task of bringing those policies again into harmonious co-operation. It Is impossible to view otherwise than with concern and apprehension widening of the rift between the two great European democracies which unitedly did so much for the preserve, tion of human liberty and the con tinued unity o# which is so necessary to reconstruction of a war-torn world. And what makes this conflict of purpose so deplorable and so hard of comprehension is that there is no lack of sympathy between the French and British peoples nor, so far as has been disclosed, any absence of good will | arid generous desire on the part of either government. Both nations have the same ends in view, the economic restoration of Europe and the assur ance of continued peace. But they are far apart, and seemingly are growing farther apart, in their beliefs as to how these ends may be accomplished. The crux of the difficulty Is the fu ture of Germany. British public opin- i ion has progressed far from the day ; when it enthusiastically indorsed J Lloyd George's declaration that Ger many should be made to pay the cost I of the war to the last farthing and i her leaders suffer the penalty of their guilt. It has come to be understood in England that Germany cannot pay at all and that the rest of Europe cannot prosper unless the former enemy is given opportunity and ma- j Xerials for work and production and afforded a market in which to sell her products. France understands that so far the British view is sound, but her fear that a producing and prosperous Germany will be a Germany deter mined on revenge overshadows the logic of the British contention. So it falls out that inability to agree on a policy toward Germany leads to dis agreements as to other policies, and in the near east and elsewhere there Is conflict between French and British alms. Could France be brought to con i fldenro that Germany could be per-; mltted to prosper without danger of J another war there would be no con flict between the French and British German policies, and the chances are that concord ,wou!d quickly bo estab lished as to policies elsewhere. If a way can be found at the Washington conference to bring this about it will add as much to the glory of the gathering as an agreement to limit naval armaments find a settlement of far eastern questions. A Holiday Recess. A recess for the conference^ to be taken in time to enable members liv ing at a distance from Washington to go home for the holidays, is suggested. Christmas makes a strong appeal, even to those engaged with the most Important public business. It is ob servable in the case of Congress. The Christmas recess takes two weeks out of the session?even the short session, which Is limited to three months, and when time is preciou^. Efforts have been made to change tils, or to reduce the recess to & few Some of the.veteran legislators have at one time or another tried to impress upon their associates the im portance of remaining on the job once begun. The late Champ Clarki held strong views on the subject, and voioed them several times while Speaker. But a sort of holiday fever precedes tba holiday season, and when It seizes a person, even a legislator hardened with business, lie is pawer laas In its graapu > Presumably, the legislators will yWM again this year, though the argu ment against a recess was flavar stronger. There will be some hang overs from the special session, and bulness galore besides. An early ad journment?at the beginning of sum mer if possible?is desired. In order that members seeking re-election may open their campaigns early. Bat the chances are that when the time comes the usual recess will be taken and the usual fortnight subtracted from the working time of the session. Santa Clans Is a charmer, and win not take no for an answer. Sovletlsts could hardly have con tributed suggestions of value to the conference, though perhaps they might have been railed oa to make tba argument much livelier. Hi spite of the events of enormous Interest and Importance now progress lng, practical life and popular custom cannot be' Ignored. It la proper to re mark, "Shop early." Futile Banian Sevolta. * Gen. Patlura's Ukrainian campaign gainst the Russian soviet govern has collapsed, as have several military movements la op to the reds, $tabody knows many Uvea' have been sacrificed soco native revolts. Nobody, knows Just how many cam have been'undertaken during four years of soviet rule. The chisC insurrections have been those of "nsnalrln. Semenoff, KnlpUsk and Waaagel. Patlura's movement seems to have bean oC sli*ht importance The failures of these revolts do not! mean that the anti-bolsh6vIk sentiment In Russia is slight. The soTlet has control of the munitions of war and has a well equipped army. It has all the advantage of position. Thus far it has been favored by the tact that these revolutionary movements have occurred separately. If all five of these Insurrections had taken place simultaneously the soviet would prob ably have been overthrown. There Is one flnal consideration. Most of the antl-sovlet movements have been at tributed to the czarists, seeking the restoration of the old regime. What ever their sufferings from the so\let rule, the people of Russia can have no sympathy with a military enterprise which seeks or Is suspected of seeking the re-establishment of their old Im perial bureaucracy. Until the people acquire the capacity of revolt on their own account they will probably con tlnye to endure the sufferings of to day rather than risk the utilisation of their insurgency by agents of czarlsm. The soviet commissars at Moscow craftily play upon these suspicions and have so far had little trouble in holding the mass of the people away from the Insurgent commanders. Had there been support on the part of the peasantry and the townspeople Dene kin, or Kolchak, , or Seminoff, or Wrangel would have had a good chance-of success. A Supreme Court Building. In continuation of its survey of the present and prospective conditions around the Capitol, tlA Commission of Fine Arts in its annual report notes a subject that has been somewhat neglected during recent years, bi|t which forms a part of the broad plan of capital maintenance. The commis sion says: i I By common consent the remaining vacant space facing the Capitol on the east has been assigned to a build the Supreme Court of the l. nited States, a co-ordinate branch of the government, but, since the re rnoval of the seat of government to the District of Columbia In MOO. oc cupying the same building with the Congress. A separate building for the Supreme Court Is one of the projects to be left to the time when the in creasing demands of Congress for space in the Capitol shall make the removal of the court Imperative. Oc cupiers of land to be taken, however, should face the- probability that sooner or later their holdings will be required for government purposes. Of the need of a Supreme Court -wilding there has been no doubt for niany years. That need is increasing, and if Congress were to act at once for the construction of a suitable home for the highest court the con tingency which the Commission of Fine .Arts notes as the imperative occasion for the removal from the Capitol will have arrived ere the build ii\p care be finished. But the question of constructing a suitable Supreme Court building should not rest^ipon that of the need by Congress of the space in the Capi tol now occupied by that body. Higher consideration should .prevail. The Su preme Court la not a suitable occupant of the Capitol, and it has never had suitable quarters. The present eourt room, the old Senate chamber, is in it-* self a dignified apartment, but alto gether t&t small, while the space avail able for Justices' chambers, for con sultation rooms, for counsel rooms, for library and for the administrative offices is wholly inadequate. Sentiment has undoubtedly-governed for some years to keep the Supreme Court where it Is now established. It is understood that notwithstanding the disadvantages and inconveniences of the Capitol location, "the justices pre | fer -their present habitation to any new provision. But the time must I ccme when a separate building will be I required in the public interest. In evitably the time will arrive when the room in the Capitol is too seriously needed for legislative purposes to war rant further housing of the court. True, the pressure on the Capitol has been lessened lately by the construc tion of the office buildings for House and Senate, but even so. a serious con gestion is felt in both branches of Congress. The final sentence of the extract from the commission's report is worthy of attention. Occupiers of the land that has been thus preempted la effect for the Supreme Court building should have more than such a vague warning. Iilksmuch m this site em bracing three city "squares" has been definitely marked off on the map as the place for the Supreme Court the government should proceed now to ac quire the land. Just as it did several years ago in case of the five squares at the western end of the Mall-Avenue triangle. The owners and occupants of land thus distinctly marked as even tual government property for build ing purposes should not he kept In un certainty over an indefinite period.

But let one of those nationalities once get an .American flag right and it will be al ways right, because there is something to remember in the "blue field next the staff" direction. For the inadvert ent mistakes that have been made in Washington during the past fortnight in the hanging foreign flags every 'one is deeply regretful. There Is'no lack of courtesy or of desire to be par ticular. It is simply that somehow some of the foreign flags are not "self dangers," and that 'Americans have not yet learned their secrets. Fortu nately there are people here who take these matters seriously and ore help ful in correcting mistakes. A Session and It* Application. Shall we see the controlling power on Capitol Hill apply at the regular session the perfectly obvious lesson of the special session? When Congress .assembled in April everything seemed set for early ac tion on the more pressing questions of the day. The 8peaker of the'House and the floor leader of the majority had virtually been selected, as had also the majority leader In the Senate. Committee assignments could speedily 'be made. Organization work, there fore, would require no time at all. I What was to prevent dispatching all the business in a few months? Kverything looked so easy, every thing began to drift. "There's plenty of time" was the answer returned to ev#ry inquiry as to the^ark of speed. So here is tlje session's end, with an uncompleted card and much criticism current as to delays and frictions and divisions. Will the regular session buckle to business, and from the first day drive full speed ahead? Or w^l it go upon tfie proposition that "there's plenty of time." and thus permit things to drift? There Is no time to spare. The routine alone will draw heavily against the time there is, and midsummer should see the shutters up and the legislators scattered to their homes, an& those aspiring to further service rbusy With their campaigns. A regular session "hard at It" from the very start, and keeping at it until the close ?no drifting, ho recesses?would be the greatest blessing Congress could bestow upon the country, and the most valuable asset the party in power could show in the fall contests. Hnlligrnbs and the Bemedy. Softly! Why so l|0t? Why so Im patient? .Why such frequent and fluent despalrlB^gf civilization? Congress met in April, and tackled a large and difficult job. There was no reason for expecting immediate relief from the woes afflicting the country. They had grown out of a war un precedented for size and suffering. And yet'because relief has not been immediately forthcoming a raucous complaint goes up that the country is headed for smash. What can save us? If anything can, how long shall we have to wait for it? The armament conference has been in session only a fortnight. It got an excellent and assuring start with a program of great delicacy and diffi culty. The whole wor<d applauded. There was no reason for expecting an immediate solution Qf the different problems awaiting attention. And yet murmurings about delay and failure are rising. At home here, and in some quarters abroad, an effort is being made to discredit the conference and hand the world over to the bow-wows. America will come back, and Con gress will help to bring it back. The world will come back, and the arma ment conference wifl help to bring It back. Those in despair, or who think they are, should brace up ?nd have some style about them. Civilization is not at the mercy of even such com motion as the world Is now experienc ing, but is deeply socketed in the hearts of those who are standing to gether in its behalf and able and eager to save it. The man with mulli grubs should send for a doctor. The ancient idea that a man had to be a good dancer in order to make a successful diplomat has about van ished. It has given place to the milder requirement that he shall be ready to shake hands at a moment's notice.

Mr. Balfour 1* not a stranger in Washington, and many there are who remember him when he came here during the war to beseech immediate aid from America, and accomplished all his aims by his geniality and in spiring personality. He was tremen dously popular in America, despite the fact that he is not of a democratic nature. Although Scotch by birth, his chief characteristic from his first appear ance in the house of commons up to the present day has been that of an autocratic aristocrat, despite which fact he has kept to the fore in Brit ish politics for many years through his brilliancy and intellectuality. Arthur Baffour Is the son of Mr. Balfour of Whittinghame, his mother being a Cecil, a daughter of the Mar quis of Saulsbury. He was born In 1*48 on the big family estate near Preston Kirk, near the Firth of Forth, and his whole youth Ifed the sheltered bringing up of one of the nobility. At fourteen he entered Baton, wher? he got on well with both students and teachers, but took'no active part in sports, as he was a frail youth. In later years, however, he became very fond of deer stalking, and became a golfer of no mean skill. Drifting through Cambridge lit an easy way, his only real attraction being to play the concertina and to collect blue china, he left college a callow, es thetic, wealthy, languid boy, with ap parently no gift and less ambition. Despite little desire for work or achievement, he entered parliament as the representative from the borough of Hertford, most of which belonged to his mother's family, and he was altogether bored with the house. He ?howed, however, keen aptitude as a statesman, although he gave the im pression of merely playing with poll tics for the fun of the fight. He soon became a strong member In the con servative party, and his scholarly and erudite address won leadership for him, but his policies were not the sort that found favor throughout the land. Since 188B he has represented Bast Manchester in the house. In 1888 he was secretary for Scotland, and later his uncle, Lord Salisbury, chose him to be secretary for Ireland, because he thought he had the strength and fearlessness to put her government on a firm foundation. He proved at once that he was both In telligent and courageous, and set ARTHUR JAMES BALFOUR. about to help the economic situation. The Irish press abused him from the very start, because of his unmerciful attitude toward the common people, his determination to put down dis orders by any means at hand and his utter contemptuousness for the Irish parliament. He was sympathetic with the Irish people, but looked upon them as an unruly nursery In revolt, whose spirit had to be broken. De spite the hatred of Erin, when he re signed his post as secretary to be come leader of the house and first lord of the treasury, his position was one of unassailable superiority, and withal a great good had been accom plished. Balfour Is an eloquent, scholarly speaker. His addresses, however, have more the characteristic of giving a survey of a subject than pointing out any distinct line of action. Once after a brilliant pronouncement of his at the Paris conference Clemenceau said: "That is wonderful, Mr. Balfour. Now Just which side of the question do you suKKost we adopt?" Although Britain's former prime min ister is supposed to have no great In terest in the welfare of the common people he at least is keenly and zeal ously Interested In the welfare of his and other nations, and he enters this conference with a heart and mind set for but one purpose?to aid the world in throwing off a part of the load of militarism from Its shoulders. EDITORIAL DIGEST China's Declaration of Independ ence. China is no novice in the manufac ture of fireworks, and apparently her verbal skyrockets are as impressive as the more tangible variety she ships us in the late spring. At any ratej the unexpected projection into the' conference of the ten proposals which the Chinese representatives submit as a basis for a new Chinese policy is I looked upon by editorial writers as a j clever means of keeping up the pyrotechnics that Secretary Hughes started. Whether regarded as a declaration of Independence" or mereiyas a "plea," the Chinese plat form is accepted by sympathetic American papers as pointing the way to equitable adjustments In the far east. The feeling Is expressed by other writers, however, that the atti tude of the delegates rather unfairly places_ all the responsibility, for China s condition on other shoulders when, as a matter of fact, she is very largely to blame, and her problems. m :r aI1, are chiefly domestic. The "amazing thing about China's ten points" to the Louisville Courier Journal (democratic) is that "they plead for things which nations of the western world take for granted." Even in this the Philadelphia Public Ledger (independent) says that coun try "has dared greatly" in Its declara tion that It wants to be a nation again. not a road to riches for aliens,'" and that "it Is tired of being a field where th^yellow man plows and sows and the white man and the brown man reap." But that very daring re veals te the Birmingham News (demqr ratio) that the Celestial em pire is developing "a man-sited race consciousness clothed with all the seal and determination that have marked the birth of new republics." a development, the News adds, which will doubtless "be viewed with alarm, Kiot only by the Japanese but by hose great western powers who for many generations have viewed the empire as a vast stretch of territory abandoned by Almighty Ood to the ?trategems and spoliation of so-called civilized powers." The statement of principles which China now advances is indeed "an in dictment of the exploitation to which she ? has been subjected in the past' quarter of a century by the very powers to which she now appeals," declares the Norfolk Vlrglnian-Pllot (Independent democrat), an attitude which is shared by many writers. But if it is an indictment of past treatment, in its relation to the fu ture it Is "nothing short of a declara tion of independence/' according" to the Newark New8 (independent). The "ten principles," says the Bos ton Transcript (Independent republi can), "are in accord with the spirit of disinterested friendship for China which Secretary Daniel Webster set forth in his instructions to Mr. Cush ing, and which has been the American policy toward Chin#, ever since," be ing. in fact, the Topeka Capital (re publican) adds, "scarcely more than a paraphrase of traditional American policy relating to the far east." Ac ceptance and observance of these principles by the.other power* will, the New Tork Times (independent democrat) states, "safeguard China against Infringements upon her inde pendence, her territory and her lib erty of action, and will leave her free to work out her destiny in her own manner." Varying estimated of the force be hind China's proposals may be sug ested by the terms applied to them, 'he Pittsburgh Press (Independent), for Instance, speaks of them as "un compromising demands"; the Duluth Herald (Independent) thinks China has made no "requssts" that should not be granted, and the Canton News (democratic) regards them as "a plea so reasonable that it is not easy to ??e how any honorable nation can raise objections." Bat a number of papers are not so ?anguine of the reception which will be accorded such a policy. "If the powers would consent to the full ap plication of these principles, they* would give up alt the special rights and privileges that they enjoy in va rious parts at Chins," and the Water' bury (Conn.) Republican (republican) thinks this "is too much to expect." The Chattanboga News (democratic) feels 'that "the conference will have to possess courage far above the or dinary to try its hand at going back of these accomplished facta and un doing the aaoient wrong," for, as the Brooklyn Eagle (Independent demo crat) says, while leu material con cessions mar be made, "Japan shows no disposition to relinquish h?r grip on the Uao-tnng .peninsula and upon Manchuria, nor aoes Oreat Britain in dicate that she intends to part with her valuable trade * concessions, and, least of all, with Hongkong." Even the United fttaUi is not so guiltless, the Dm Moines Register (indepen dent republican) joints out. but that "the Chinese demand that Americans, ?long with all the others, quit both ering the, Chines*4m- Cthlna will put an entirely new face on the nego tiation*." The "central difficulty In China's position." the New Tork Post (inde pendent) agrees, is "the weakness of China herself." which has made pos sible "the series of aggressions upon her territory and lias rendered neces sary the Introduction of the principle of extraterritoriality." China "as a government," says the Buffalo Ex press (independent republican), "is a mental as well as a financial bank rupt, and it has been necessary for the great powers to take a hand in governing." It is ail very well, the New York World (democratic) holds, "to talk about pledges to respect the integrity of China, but what is the China, whose integrity is to be re spected? There must first be a Chi nese government that can keep the door open, at least to the extent of not secretly yielding to foreign Pres sure and making Itself a tool of for | eign intrigue." Ghandi's Remorse. Mahatma Ghandi, the inspirer and guide of the non-co-operationlsts In India, whose policy of boycott and passive resistance has proved highly troublesome to the British, has been deeply affected by the violence which has accompanied the latter stages of anti-British agitation. He has issued a statement deprecating the rioting which marked the arrival of the Prince of Wales. He declares the outbreaks, which resulted in blood shed and death, "stink In his nostrils." He beseeches Hindus and Mussulman! alike to repent and seek God's for giveness. and he announces that he will neither eat nor drink until peace 1* restored. It is possible that Ghandi's appeal for order will be heeded. His influ ence in India Is extraordinary, and Is potent, regardless of caste or re ligion. He is looked on as a saint, even as a divine being. Tet when a mob has drawn blood even the most respected leaders may be ignored when they urge a return to peaceful methods. Passion and fear of retri < button unite to put the frenzied man beyond control. Ghandi may have started something he cannot stop.? New Tork Herald (independent). Accepting the Universe.
