TO BEND EFFORTS
FOR SHIP CANAL
Chief Business Of Atlantic Deeper
Waterways Association Con-
vcntion at Atlantic City.

The main question 70 come before
the annual convention OF the Atlantic
D,epcr Waterways Association, 10 meet
m Atlantic City October ) TO :, will be
the urging upon Congress an appropria-
tinn of nj least A., ,Oo0,oOO with which to
start the work of the enlargement of the
IO-foot Chesapeake and Delaware Canal
into ship canal whose depth is planned
ultimately 70 be 35 feet and It's width
100 feet Ten wears, and perhaps, more
time will elapse before the ambitious
project VIII have become reality. III the
undertaking were pushed TO immediate
and simultaneous completion the water
way would have TO he closed entirely to
transportation, a most serious hardship.
Hence the policy of gradual enlarge
ment, 90 extend over period of 10 years
aud more, thus avoiding the closing of
the canal 20 commerce. Ii is estimated
that the total sum needed for contemplated
enlargement is $40, 1000, 900, the appro-
priations by Congress 20 be at the rate
lef $1,000. 900 per annum. The project
has received an important impetus lately
lat the hands Of Secretary OF War Baker,
lwho has given his endorsement TO the
ultimate idea in view.
The purchase Of the old Chesapeake

Whether By joining league Of ma
tions or an association Of nations,
the United States win display wis
dom in at least trying some method
of insurance against war-war whose
aftermath is now costing more than
ninety percent Of the huge sum
raised by federal taxation, not to
speak Of the recent offering Of price,
less lives. We are confident that the
g. o. p. leaders, with the exception
of rabid antis like Johnson and Bo-
rah, did not object to the present
League of Nations so much as they
did to Wilson's part in its organiza-
tion. They sought to repudiate VIII
son rather than the league in the re-
cent election. Well, then, let us have
an association Of nations sponsored
by Harding and the republican party
if such be possible-and signs are
not lacking of foreign encouragement
in this direction. Better an assoeia-
tion loaf than no league bread. Bet
ter some effort toward peace un-
derstanding among the powers than
a big increase in costly and threat
ening armaments.

Now and then we hear again Of
the persuasive and anxious activities
of itinerant stock statesmen in the
neighborhood. But we do not hear
as we once heard Of their carrying
away thousands Of dollars Of the
community's money. The people are
growing wary. They haven't known
of any money coming back from coal
mines and lead and silver mines and
gold bonanzas and hopeful indus
trial projects. They are beginning
to realize that if any concern has a
good thing it doesn't need to scout
around in the highways and byways
hundreds Of miles from the scene OF
its operations, in order to finance its
proposition. There may stil be a
few suckers" in this neck o the
woods; but they are no longer born

And now profound wisdom comes

And now profound wisdom comes
unexpectcdly out Of Mexico through
the mouth Of It's new president, Al
vara ohregon. We trust that ms
life may long enough be spared to
redeem his turbulent land from
bloodshed and point the world itself
TO the paths of peace. These words
nre those Of an enlightened and un-
selfish statesman: "That form Of
national cgotism which takes no ae-
count Of the just demands of other
peoples is a crime against that larger
community which il is the aim and
object Of all progress to organize as
compaetly us may be. 1t is in this
direction that the stream Of human
tendency. deliberate and unconscious,
is continually flowing. We are too
apt TO dwell upon the individual and
the nation and to promote the inter-
ests Of these us the highest objects
worthy of our pursuit, whereas real
progress lies in the development OF
the final aims of the species, one OF
which | take to be the organization
of n world community knitted to-
rether BY lofty yet feasible purpose
and founded upon morality, Of which
Justice is an integral function"
The Weston leader. [volume] (Weston, Umatilla County, Or.) 189?-1946, 1920-11-12

It seems to be the Harding idea to
have a supreme court for handing
down international decisions but no
international police force for enforc-
ing its DEGREES. The moral power OF
it's mandates is deemed to be sufii-
cient to check the designs of preda'
tory nations, even as the moral power
Of the decisions Of the United States
Supreme court is respected by the
states comprising this republic. Per-
haps so. At all events let this plan
be tried, if the present members OF
the League of Nations are willing to
scrap their project and start in over
again at the nod OF Uncle Sam.
