there certainly will be need for

Is going to finance them?
As we have stated before, it is the

impossible to build up a city without
the aid Of such institutions.
II The local association is not wise
to the situation it should wake up

From twenty-five to thirty thous-

There is only one way to accomp-

so it may be in position to handle
the situation.

MANY PLACES LIKE WEST POINT

Contributed by Sec'y Willard)
The West Point News, Virginia
gives voice to the needs of many
communities in the following edi.
torial:
No modern city was ever built uI
without the aid Of financial institu-
tions, which would loan money for
the building of homes and permit OF
repayment in small weekly or month
ly installments.
Our regular banks are not organ
lied for such purposes and cannot
loan their funds on long time pay
ment plans, but our laws have pro-
vided for special institutions to
handle this branch OF real estate
financing, and 1t is a fact that in
those communities where there Is
the most activity and progress, there
you will find the building and loan
associations most numerous.
Every citizen should feel pride
in his local building and loan asso-
citation, and should have at least
one share of stock in it, for aside
from its value as an investment, 1t
is the one institution that will do
most sood for the town.
With the pressing need for more
houses in West Point. we cannot I'M
derstand the apparent Indifference Of
those of our citizens who have mon
cy to invest.

The true reason why Mr.. Bryan,
Henry Ford, Jane Adams, the
Times-Union and all the other vocif-
erous advocates in this country for
peace in Europe, will utterly and
deservedly fail in their efforts is be-
cause there is very definite issue
in the conflict over there which
must be definitely settled one way or
the other on the battle field, and
nowhere else; and not until there is
decisive defeat for Germany or the
allies can there be such a settlement
That issue is militarism, as illustrat-
ed by Germany since the Franco
, Prussian war and which has kept
Europe as an armed camp, and ev-
erything else at stake in the con.
! flict is subordinate to and growing
out CT that. Peace talk from any
source now is nonsense. AS we'll sins

The allies will consent to no peace
that does not involve the disarma

never consent to that until she i

SECRETARY OF STATE CONF.
DENT OF CONCLUDING PACT
WITH NICARAGUA.
WILL GIVE UNITED STATES
SECOND CANAL ROUTE
Virtual Control Of isthmian Waterway
Fights to 8. Held i; Is Treaty Is A.
proved-Mueh Doubt Expressed Over
Ratification Of Colombian Treaty,
Because Of Nation Wide Opposition.
Especial Correspondence j

Washington, April 12.-The United
States will be in shape to build another
| trans oceanic canal If the present one
doesn't work. Next session Of con-
gress, the treaty with Nicaragua will
be ratified which will give this country
the right Of way to build canal by
the Nicaraguan route. 1t will be an
exclusive right, at that.
This, at least, is the substance of the
prediction of Secretary of state Bryan.
He asserts confidently that there was
never time in the last session of con-
gress when the senate would not have
ratified the Nicaraguan treaty If it
could have been brought to vote.
Now, he asserts the treaty will be
ratified next session.
Secretary Bryan was anxious for an
extra session Of the senate in order
that the Nicaraguan and Columbian
treaties might be ratified. But the
president was dissuaded from calling
an extra session by various democratic
leaders. Talk has been rife of an extra
session of congress next fall to ratify
the treaties but unless the call has to
be made for other reasons 1t is not
likely one will be issued.
Opposition to the Nicaraguan treaty
continues bitter among Central Ameri-
can countries. 1t is charged this gov
eminent is on the road to making Cen
trail America one OF it's spheres OF
dominating influence. and the new
treaty is viewed with hostility. The
elements in Nicaragua opposed to the
present government are unfriendly to
the treaty.
Ratification Probable.
However the probabilities are that
Secretary Bryan is right when he pre-
diets the ratification Of the Nicaraguan
treaty. The treaty, for the sum OF
$4,000 900 would give the United States
a canal RICH of way and other conces-
sions including naval bases in Mica
raguan waters. It is doubtful whether
the treaty would have commanded
two-thirds vote in the senate last ses-
sion. But next session. with the demo-
cratic membership materially increased
it is likely a two-thirds vote can be
mustered.
Opposition in the senate to the
Nicaragua treaty is much less pro-
nounced than it is to the Colombia
treaty. The feeling against payment
of good round sum to Columbia after
that nation did its best to hold up this
country for the Panama canal property
is strong Many senator's think the
country is opposed to it and the more
opposed now, at time when the
treasury is short of funds.
Whether the United States will build
another canal is speculative and
question on which there is wide differ
ence of opinion Much. of course, de-
pends on whether the slides in Culebra
Cut, can be stopped or made less seri-
Gus as time goes on and whether the
Panama waterway can handle the
traffic which will develop. Purely on
the military side, many believe it good
business for the United States to
clinch it's hold on the Nicaragua route
and not allow any other country TO
grab it.
