"The Shields bill for the granting of

Of the National Conservation associa-
tion, in a statement severely scoring
Secretary Garrison for his participa-
tion in this scheme. There has been
no clearer attempt 10 defeat the con
servation policy since water power
first became great national prob
lem II is direct reversal OF the
wise and fair conservation provisions
contained in the Adamson bill as 1t
passed the house, for which the
Shields bin was substituted. Presi-
dent Wilson endorsed the final Adam

opposed to the water power policy

Secretary Garrison

UndercurYents of the War
Objection to Our Selling War Supplies is Not in Interest of
Peace -

This policy would force on all ma.
tions degree of preparedness never
before thought OF. unless the peoples
lacking self-sufflciency were TO be al
ways at the mercy OF such self-suffi-
cient nations as the British empire,
Germany and the United States. No
nation would he ready for war unless
it's arsenals, warehouses and ship
yards were filed. not only with all the
war supplies which might reasonably
seem requisite, but with all which un-
der any state OF things might possibly
be required
II would impose upon the small and
uneyenly-developed nation burdens
not possible to be borne. or absolute
unpreparedness. Argentina, for in
stance, would have TO look out for
manufactured war material, while Hol-
land would always have TO be supplied
with foodstuffs enough for a war.
II would broaden the field OF war
preparations enormously, and set the
nations watching each other with a
more hawk-like scrutiny than ever. A
nation finding itself temporarily in
possession OF an advantage over an.
other would be tempted TO strike be-
fore the antagonist could make ready.
The nation caught short OF supplies
would be helpless and hopeless. The
advantage would pass forever and
completely 10 the militaristic peoples.
They would no more be restrained
from attack by the fear that their
foes would be able to secure supplies
In the worlds markets. Preparedness
is great advantage as things are, but
with the worlds markets closed to
the warning nations, IL would always
be the deciding factor. The nation
which failed TO keep stocked UP with
material of war would exist only so
long as its prepared neighbors saw fit
to tolerate its existence. The manu-
facturers OF war supplies would profit
greatly by this policy in the long run,
but the world would not.
The proposal is not advanced I'm the
interests Of peace. and would not
make Tor peace. II is one Of the un-
dercurrents of selfish and unneutral
opinion'making. Look out for It.

When Shall We Learn?
BY J. A. GIFFIN

When shall We learn, and when shall
We learn.
How foolish We all can be?
We first build up, and then tear down
When cherished ideals flee.
We worry and hurry and toll through
the years
For that which brings renown;
And then like children who build In
the sand,
We tear the whole thing down.
When shall We learn, and when shall
we learn
That rulers are only men,
Who patiently build for a nations
veal,
And then tear down again?
With false ambition they toll through
the years
To win enduring fame
And then they cast the garland OF
praise
In the furnace OF wars red flame.
When shall we learn, and when shall
we learn
That brothers all men should be,
And whether they're white or yellow
or black.
Should matter not 10 ME?
And those who earnestly seek through
the years,
20 learn the Fathers plan,
Will find neither war nor race nor
creed
In the brotherhood of man.

pickpocket is abroad in the land, and

practice OF going to war all OF us

to suggest that We should refuse to

ought TO be engraved IN marble and
put in the archives at Washington.

arrogance, but with bread Men. wo-

was enough for America. America
armed herself with bread and invaded
Belgium
What does Americanizing Belgium
with bread mean? II means some
thing more than filing empty stom-
achs.
