PICKARD HARLES EVANS HUGHES and his fellow delegates to the Pan- American conference have returned from Havana covered with they—and especially Mr. Hughes—« tained from the gathering practically everything that their wanted, and the troublesome of American intervention was poned for five years with small chances that it will then be revived in the form it took at Havana. Probably the most beneficial result attained was the removal of misunderstanding among American countries, Just be. fore the conference closed Mr. Hughes by a brilliant speech brought in with the United States all gates except Doctot Pueyrredon Argentina, who had been forced resign, and Gustavo Guerrero of Sal- vador, who utterly lost his against intervention, The accomplishments of ference include: Establishment of principle of compulgory arbitration for the settle- ment of Inter-American disputes, ex- cept those pertaining to the sovereigy ty and independence of nations in purely domestic problems, A Pan-American union placing that body on a perma sis and permitting the n have special representatives on governing board instead of diplomats regularly accredited to Washington, A treaty on the rights and duties of neutrals in event of war, A commercial aviation convention open to the signature of all countries. A treaty placing aliens abroad on the same footing as nationals. A treaty establishing the right of asylum, to which the United States entered formal reservation. A treaty providing for international co-operation for the suppression and prevention of revolutions in each oth- er's territories, Adoption of a Pan-American sani tary code. A convention on maritime neutral ity, the United States entering a res. ervation to the clauses forbidding the arming of merchantmen for defense in time of war, A code of private International law dealing with the judicial status of persons, marriage and divorce. The United States declined to participate on constitutional grounds, glory, for government question post- to line the dele the con- the convention, § UBJECTED to determined attacks, direct and Indirect, in many lo- ealities, the Ku Klux klan has dropped its mask and changed its name. An edict issued by Hiram W. Evans of Atlanta, imperial wizard, read: “After midnight February 22 it will be unlawful for any klansman to wear any mask or visor as part of his regalia, and any klansman who shall be unavoidably absent from the meet- ing to be held February 22 shall as soon thereafter as possible attend a regular meeting and there become a member of the Knights of the Great Forest.” Simultaneous ceremonies were held im every “klavern” and it was im pressed on the members thaf the or- der hencforth has no political ambi. tions for itself or for it’s members, It wns announced that “in the main there is to be no change from the or- dinary customs of the klan. Klans. men ignoring the edict will suffer pun- ishment.” Attorney General Arthur Gilliom of Indiana asserted that he would pro- eeed with his suit to have the klan declared bankrupt and te have its offi- clals restrained from further activi. ties In that state, ENATOR JIM REED of Missouri in his preconvention speaking tour which opened at Dallas, Texas, Monday, Is living up to expectations in that he ls seeking to minimize or suppress altogether the issue of pro- hibition. His slogan Is “Turn the rascals out,” and he proposes to keep the federal power within constitu. tional limits, te abolish government by boards and bureaus, to equalize the burdens of taxation, to repeal all laws creating speelal privileges, and to dismiss the “vast army of spies, snoopers, sneaks and informers.” It is generally agreed that efforts to suppress prohibition as an Issue will fail, perhaps in both the Democratic and the Republican conventions.

REAT BRITAIN sprung a sur. prise at the opening session of the security commission of the League of Nations in Geneva. Lord Cushen. den, who succeeded Lord Cecil in the lengue, told the delegates the British government would support the Fin. nish proposal calling for financial sup- port for nations attacked without provocation, believing that to be one of the most practical ways to prevent war. Cushenden nlso indersed “the application eof the Locarno treaties in other areas.” In both Instances this wis a complete change of front by the British, Boris Stein, the Rnssian ob. server, subrndtted the soviet govern. ment's pian for disarming the world by sinking navies, disbanding armies and destroying airplares and muni tions within a period of four years. In place of the League of Nations the soviets propose that all international relations shall be controlled by per. manent commissions which would en- force their decisions through a spe- cial land and water police service, by “nonmilitary pressure.” For internal protection each nation would be al- Il police force carefully restricted ns to armament.
