LOED GREY'S BEIEF. Lord Grey, it will be. remembered, is the genLje3ian who et before his fellow Britishers the proper conception of the United States senate and the part :t rlays in the American treaty making power, after cur own president had spread the impression abroad

that he alone could obligate the I'nUed States through I ihe term of a treaty. Lord Grey has just issued an-J other statement which serves to clarity the public j mind as to the present status of the league of nations j ?n world affairs, particularly in its relation to thei

Fciish-Kussian emergency. "The present trouble." says the famous statesman, 'comes from the league having been disregarded by tfc.os who joined it," He refers to the failure of the league to take steps to prevent J'oland from conducting an invasion of Russia, and cmcludes that because nothing was done at that time the league should now refrain from compelling Russia to keep out of Poland. To Lord Grey's mind it. would make o the league an instrument for war if steps were now taken to aid Poland, after having failed to use the league as an instrument for peace in restraining Toland. All of which shows the utter insincerity of the league as an agent for peace, which is thi sole claim upon which It bases its right to existence. Of. course, rfs LoriGrey says, Poland should hava'lieii kept out of ?.u:-;h. but Article JO of the ro'enant says the leaSoFaall interfere only when the territory of one of ipir-mbers is invaded. Russia is no&a member, heriijjresumablj', its territory is open to. -aggression frorscjuV other nation eo far as the. leagua is concfsy Poland, c-n the other hand, la.a Tnember. TES-ague. therefore, is hound to rush." tdf1 ltd asiC&SSt the moment it is threatened, T.'ndep the fS5'applicati-n of th provisions of 't'he covenant SibSiSid can invade Russia at will, bvt.Hussla can ''tnvr retaliate in kind on Poland. ' ' .J t ,.. 'j6 Ir. is thai . tifest perversion of xTl'tinncuaced Jjnclries behind the league idea that has aroused 'J.ord Grey. "This perversion of the leajrue'says he, "unless repudiated, will impair its future usefulness n ! imperil its very existence." There is' no doubt r" that, and 'here i equally doubt that its attitude ow.ird the Polir.h-Russiau controversy i3 not the only f. ffair that wi! lhave to be explained -away if the league is ever to command th.1 respect of its own members or of those nations which will staad,,aIoof from jolniDg. . v-,s3Wi' Greece is invading Turkey with tne TufTsanctlon of the league, but there would be a loud call to the league for assistance if Turkey were mora successful and her armies were nvirrhlng upon Greek: soil. Thf reason is that Greece is a member and Turkey is not.

The L'uited States is strong enough to protect its own boundaries, and can afford to congratulate itself at being free from association with a league of nations which has so far departed from the principles alleged to h;ive inspired it as to be aiding and abetting wars instead of taking steps to suppress them. GIVE HONESTY ITS DUE.

York taxicah driver touna ooo u ar the other dav. He found the owner

and returned (ho jewels. His name and tne sio., vent out in : words over the telegraph wires with the cryptic tomment: 'Diogenes, blow out. your lamp." II he had been a thief he would have had the police of the nation on his trail and would have re ceived columns of publicity. In this we tind the truest gauge of the innate honesty of mosi men and women It is the unusual that attracis attention. An honest faxicab driver gets two inches at the bottom of the column. ! h-i dishonest driver gets a scarehead at the top of the pag. We find the same reaction in the humdrum experiences of every dav. A fellow diner takes our new straw hat from a restaurant peg by mistake. We raise a commotion. Later in the day a telephone rings to tell us that the absent-minded patron has come back to make an exchauge. We mention the fact, pernaps, ouite casually. But wP don't go b-cl, to the restaurant lo announce in a loud voice that we have found an honest man. Our umbrella is forgotten as we leave the motion picture theater. We hurry back belligerently and em Mst a brigade of ushers with a battery of ll.ishlisb.ts in a futile effort to locate it for us. We annoy the occupants of a doen rows and embarrass those who had sat near us. We leave in high dudgeon. Th( next day we go to the manager's office an recover our possession, where a conscientious employe ha. put it in trust for us. We thank the manager profusely. He smiles, a bit. wryly, for he if used to it. He knows we won't stand on the curb and shout t

ihe passerby that his theater and his employes are;

honest. We take honesty in our fellows for granted, and nay little about it. We might well take a page from the book of the salesman. He knows from experience that it pays to tell the good traits of his competitor and to keep silent about his failings. And the ad vertlser knows that good products are the only ones worth advertising. We would all be happier and more content if we advertised the virtues of our fellows. Newspapers depend upon recounting the unusual to maintain interest in their columns, for the unusual only is news. But In our everyday life we can do many of our fellow beings a good turn, and be hap" pier for it. ,

JAPANESE LAND HOLDING A vague apprehension is in the minds of American people living east of the Rocky Mountains, lest the agitation in California against Japanese ownership of land in this country should lead to international complications. This is, of course, inspired by the vigorous protest? of the Japenese against legislation now pending. It is probable, however, thRt the Japanese people themselves do not take their protestations too seriously. They have an elemental ense of Justice, as well as a saving sense of humor, which must show them the anomaly of their position, for they are demanding of other nations rights aa aliens which they themselves do not concede to foreigners In their own country. The only enduring basis of diplomatic negotiations is just mutual concession. There must be a willingness to give as well as take. Before Japan can expect to be taken seriously in Its outcry against restrictions of Japanese land ownership in California or elsewhere in this country, she must extend to Americans the right to own land in Japan. She must enter any negotiations with reference to the status of her people in this country wl'h clean hands, otherwise her protests must be regarded as mere petulance.

The Recovery From The Switchmen9

Outlaw Strike How the Emergency Was Successfully Met

Tne country's position for a few days during th? switchmen's unauthorized strike last spring was more serious than the public realized. As General Haan, Assistant Chief of the General Staff of the United States Army, was quoted recently regarcng it, the "switchmen's strike was the supreme effort. TTiere were to be police, coal and steel strikes. The order was given that ther should be no rioting by the strikers. The people were to do the rioting and then the strikers planned to step in and get control of the situation. . . Every plan had been made for using the United States army if force was needed to curb the radicals." Happily, that strike, now a matter of history, did not develop into the sinister proportions that the radical? had planned. The fact that other railway employes and certain loyal switchmen remained at work during the hour of crisis was a big factor in preventing success of the radicals' plans. Following its policy not to hire professional strikebreakers, the Indiana Harbor Belt Railroad began to fill and did fill vacancies in its organization with clean-cut men. many of them members of the Brotherhoods. How well and how soon the road recovered from the short-lived strike is best reflected in the reports of tonnage moved. For comparative purposes figures for three months are given. They are for this July, for July, 1919, and October, 1919. The latter month is included because it was the record month previous to the April strike. The figures tell the story: July. 1919 October. 1919 July, 1 920 Total industrial loads handled 30.850 32.415 40,848 Total of all cars handled 109,088 132.831 140,438 With its present personnel, the Indiana Harbor Belt Railroad has accomplished more work than ever before in its history. July, 1920, stands as the banner month with

respect to volume of cars moved.
