The return of Llord Georae ta
England reveals the fact that he haa
not lost his prestige or hia popularity
by the defeat of his plana at the Ge
noa Conference. With the exception
of some of tho newspapers which
regularly oppose him, the premier Is
given credit for a plucky fight to
bring about a better condition of
thlnga In Europe and to put thru a
program of peace. In aoita of th
failure of his efforta Lloyd George
givea credit to all the nations for an
honest and genuine desire for peace.
He doea not even deny to Russia,
Germany or France such a desire,
tho it doea not seem to be apparent
at timea. The ability of an Eno-lish
statesman to look on the better and
more hopeful aide of affaire ia a sign
of fitness for leadershin at a timn
when thinga iook confused and tan
gled to an onlooker.
Considerable pressure is likely to
be brought to bear to secure the at
tendance of tha U. S. in the Confer
ence at the Hague. In spite of Sec
retary Hughes' prompt avowal of our
purpose not to be- there a possible
way was left open in the assertion
that the U. S. was not averse to ait
ting with a body of specialists, even
though they were dealing with Eu
ropean affairs. More recently Vice
President Coolidire. in an address be
fore the Presbyterian General Assem
bly at Des Moines, Ia., set forth th
necessity of the U. S. taking a more
active part in world affaire, since m
have already broken away from iso
lation. A last indication of a change

The question of tho independence
of the Philippine Islands ia again
brought forcibly to public' attention '
by the coming of a Commission for

independence. The Harding admin
istration ia opposed to auch indepen
dence, aa is General Leonard Wood,
who made a report to that effect and
ia now acting aa Governor of the Is- -lands.
The viaitinar commission is a
large one and they baa their hope
on the belief that th Filipino an

several year. Th Wilson adminia
tration gave encouragement "to th

Victor Emanuel, the king of Italy,
haa juat mad visit to Trieste, th
aeaport at the head of the Adriatic
which waa secured from Austria in

thia port as well aa the little piece
