A LESSON TO LEARN
The Lausanne reparations conference now in session in
Switzerland is bound in a deadlock, Germany refusing to
pledge the payment of reparations, and Franco refusing to
release Germany from the obligation unless the United States
will be willing to reconsider the war debts. '
The United States has no official representatives at the
Lausanne conference, but Hoover has clearly stated that
European nations can expect no relief from war debts until
they stop spending millions in maintaining armies and build
ing new weapons and armaments. ; .
No one can say what the outcome will bo, but it would
be. no surprise if the United States should come out oft the
small end of the deal. That may be one reason why we have
not sent anyone to the conference; for, whether we sit in
' or not,' we have a creeping feeling that we will be left hold
j ing tho bag. !,;'-.; ; .... ... j j j .;.:.;
j Technically, of course, Germany's professed inability lo
. pay any more reparations to European nations is none Of
1 TT 1 Cl I "1 ! ' TV., l. ' ' 1 J . l if 11. . .. 11 : i. .
.get, no more, tepaVatlons .from.. Germany.: the, United States
will get no . more war debt payments from the allies. W;
have insisted that reparations and war debts are in no way
related, but they are beginning to look like twin brothers.--'
In plain English, our chances of gelling our money back
aro very slinl, indeed, and we might just as well wake up
and face the facts. 'And if we are half as smart as we think
we are, we will learn one extremely valuable lesson from''
this unpleasant mfixup over war debts and reparations.
It is not at all probable that the World War of 19M-1B'
will be the last war in Europe. And when, sooner or later,
another war breaks out in that troubled area, we can be sure
that one side or the oilier or both together will depend
upon the United States for money and munitions. ' '
Commissions headed by famous statesmen from European
illations will cross tho Atlantic, bogging huge loans and ol'l'er
j ing fat contracts to our munitions factories. And if Uncle
Sam has any memory at all, he will send these commissions
back across the ocean empty-handed, saying something like
this:
"We financed a European war once before, and in the
end we found that most of the money we sent overseas was
gone for good. We don't care to repeat that experience.
Our taxpayers found il loo expensive. Hereafter not one
American dollar will be loaned to any waning nation; not
one American factory will sell a dollar's worth of goods to
any warring nation. You'd better go and hunt up another
sucker."
sented quite as high an order of skill in design and construc
tion as do their modern sisters, the steel steamships.
Look at the photographs of this ship Bear, some day. ' She
looks, out of date, with her square yards and her clipper bow.
You think, as you look, that she ought to be a museum piece
somewhere. But Admiral Byrd couldn't find a better ship
for polar voyaging.

When Admiral Byrd goes buck to the Antarctic next winter
he will tako along several ti-lo-date tractors, to see if they
might not do better at pulling sledges over the frozen wastes
than the traditional dog teams. Mill the ship that he will
sail in will be the famous Hear, built a few years after the
Civil war and one of the world's greatest veterans of polar
voyaging.
This odd mixing of the ultra-modern and the very old
suggests that while some of our mechanical contrivances are
a lot handier than anything our grandfathers had, there are
fields in which we haven't improved much on their work.
Tho tractor may be a line thing for a polar explorer, but for
traveling aloiit in the stormy, ice-filled polar seas Admiral
Uyrd can find nothing better than an ancient wooden vessel
that was built before he himself was horn.
Thc modern steel ship, of course, is a triumph of ingenuity.
Her engines, in themselves, aro marvels; compact, powerful,
reliable, built to pump away as steadily as the human heart,
they enable the ship to keep her .schedule regardless of wind
and weather.
But the old shipbuilders of a past generation, who worked
in wood instead of steel and placed their chief reliance on
sails instead of engines they, too, were masters of their
craft.
Too often we romanticize alwnit the old sailing ships go
much that we forget how perfectly adapted they were for the
job they had to do. They were beautiful to look upon, of
course, nnd they could be unspeakably picturesque at times;
but first and foremost they were utilitarian, and they repre-1

The candidacy of Gov. Murray of
Oklahoma lasted but one ballot; but
when the governor himself released
his delegates, they divided among
other favorite soi. and none of
them went to thc New Yorker.
There were definite si ens of agi
tation In the Texas and California !
delegations, pledged to Speaker Gar
ner, with Roosevelt figuring as the
most likely beneficiary, should a real
break come. The inside circle of
convention leaders heard much talk
of a combination involving the vice
presidential nomination. Both Gar
ner and William G. McAdoo, chair
man of the California delegation,
were mentioned in convention floor
gossip as possible vice presidential
nominees with Kooseveit.
I-cailers I n Con f erenre
The adjournment was until 8:30
p. m., but even as they filed out of
the coliseum the leaders were carry
ing on into private conferences their
efforts to arrive at some breakdown
which would avert anything like tho
long deadlock years ago in Madison
Square Garden. .
Roosevelt's gains had been steady,
small as they were.- On the first
ballot he had 666, on the second 677,
and on the third 682. The additions
on the second roll call had come
from Indiana, Missouri, New York,
North Dakota. Ohio and Alaska. On
the second ballot he took 2 from
Reed in Missouri, 1 from Smith In
Mew York, 2 from White in Ohio,
and 1 from Smith in Pennsylvania.
His loss was a fraction of a vote
In North Carolina and a vote In
North Dakota.
Tammany For Smith
At least some of the Roosevelt
sarly ballot hopes failed to entirely
to materialize. Tammany, polling in
the center of the convention floor .r.
just as the light of dawn was coming

big stadium, went solidly to Smith.
