The Cat in the Bag.

One would hardly think of Senator Borah and Signor Mussolini as embodying two hearts with but one single thought. Yet, both of them have just caused considerable shock by making a direct frontal attack on the Treaty of Versailles. What Senator Borah said in America, where he is chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee of the Senate, and what Signor Mussolini said in Italy, will find a common target in France. Those American newspapers which, for the moment, do not want the disarmament cat to jump out of the diplomatic bag, and which are concerned to respect French sensibilities during the French Premier's visit, jumped on the Senator with both feet. But it is unlikely that the Italian papers will jump on the Duce, or on his criticism of the one-sided nature of disarmament.
