Waiting for Others.

There has been no general exchange
of ideas. Each nation seems to be
waiting nervously to learn the pro-
gram of the others before advancing
it's own.
The excuse given by each nation for
delay is that the others have not yet
appointed their delegates. yet every
one knows more or less who these
delegates are going to be. Ths news
papers say that the conferences will
begin January 13. but the American
delegates deny that any date has been
set. They say they have tried to
haste n events, but without avail
There are many questions, such as
the delimitation of the new frontiers,
which should not be hurried, but there
are other questions, such as interven-
tion in Russia, measures to check the
spread of bolshevism and measures to
check the race wars now raging in
eastern Europe, which require urgent
action.
Nevertheless. the allies have not
even adopted a program of procedure.
France proposed a program some
weeks ago, but it was not sufficiently
detailed and seems hardly to have
been discussed. More detailed pro-
grams are now being composed by
each nation. These, when completed,
will be compared and joint program
agreed upon

while the sum of money is in itself
large, it is so small compared to the

it becomes a mere pittance compared

said, nevertheless American industry
did, in fact, supply to Great Britain
and France practically an equivalent
to that made available to US from
them. American industry was able to
meet the demands made upon it, and
on the day the armistice was signed
our Army abroad was thoroughly
equipped with American made rifles
