ally by little groups Of patriots all
scheming against one another. IL
must be big business for world In
terests, unencumbered by national
frontiers, or 1t is impossible.
All these considerations you see
converge on the conclusion that
there is no solution Of the problem
of war, no possibility of a world
recovery, no possibility of arrest
ing the rapid disintegrating of ouI
civilization, except a Pax Mundi,
a federated world control, sum
ciently authoritative to keep any
single nation in order and suffi-
ciently coherent to express a world
idea.
Cooperation Is Essential.
Organized international
We need an effective world "As-
sociation of Nations" to use Presi.
dent Harding's phrase, or We shall
perish. And even in this fantastic
dream of Mere Disarmament, of a
world of little independent states,
all sovereign, all competing against
each other and all carrying on a
mean financial and commercial war
fare against each other TO the com
mon impoverishment, all standing
in the way of any large modern
spirited handling of modern needs,
yet all remaining magically dis
armed and never making actual
war on each other-even if this
dream were possible, it is still ut
terly detestable-more detestable
even than our present dangers and
miseries.
For if there are any things in
life worse than pain, fear, and
destruction, they are boredom, pet
tiness, and inanity, and such would
be the quality of such q world.
However much the diplomatists
at Washington may seek to ignore
the fact, may fence their discus
sion within narrowly phrased agen-
da, and rule this, that, and the
other vital aspect outside the scope
of the conference, the fact remains
that there is no way out, no way
of escape for mankind from the
monstrous miseries and far more
monstrous dangers of the present
time except an organized interna-
tional cooperation, based upon a
frank and bold resolve to turn
mems minds from ancient jeal-
ousies and animosities, to the COM

Sair, cruel and bsrbarous, TO enforce
tory or avert disaster. Success
.stifies every expedient in warfare,
and you cannot prevent that being SO.
= A nation, hoping 10 win and after
ward make friends with its enemy or
| solicitous for the approval of some
/ powerful neutral, may conceivably re-
frain from effective but objection
able expedients, but that is volun-
tary and strategic restraint. The
fact remains that war is an ultimate
and illimitable thing; a war that can
be controlled is a war that could have
been stopped or prevented. IL our
race can really bar t>ie use of poison
gas ii can bar the use of any kind
of weapon. II is indeed easier to
enforce peace altogether than any
lesser limitation of war.
But IL is argued that this much
may be true, nevertheless, that il
the nations of the world will agree
beforehand not to prepare for par
ticular sorts of war or If they will
agree to reduce their military and
naval equipment TO a minimum this
will operate powerfully in prevent
ing contraventions and in a phase of
popular excitement arresting the
rush toward war. The only objec-
ton to this admirable proposal is
that no power which has desires or
rights that can only be satisfied or
defended, so far as ir knows, by war
will ever enter into such a disarma-
, ment agreement in good faith.
OF course countries contemplat-
ing war and having no serious in
tention of disarming effectually
will enter quite readily into con-
ferences upon disarmament, but
they will do so partly because of
the excellent propaganda value of
such a participation and mainly
because of the chance it gives them

in effect nationalize among others,
the iron and steel and chemical in
dustries, but as a practical man l
have to confess that the organiza-
tion of no existing state is yet at
the level of efficiency necessary If
the transfer is to be hopeful one,
and SO far as the newspaper re-
striction goes, it would surely pass
the wit of man to devise rules that
would prevent a great banking
combination from controlling arma-
ment firms on the one hand while
it financed newspapers on the
other.
Opposition of Arms
Interests Is Powerful.
Yet the fact remains that this
great complex Of interests, round
and about the armaments interest,
is the most real Of all the opposi-
tions to a world federation. It
supplies substance, direction, and
immediate rewards to the fybthy
emotions Of patriotism; it rules by
dividing US and it realizes that its
existence in its present form is
conditional upon the continuance
of our suspicious and divisions. 1t
does not positively want or seek
war, but it wants a continuing ex-
pectation Of and preparation for
war.
On the other hand its ruling in
ftelligences must be coming to un-
derstand that in the end it cannot
escape sharing in the economic and
social smash down to which we
are all now sliding so rapidly. It
is too high a type of organization
to be altogether blind and obdu-
rate. 1t will not, of course, be
represented officially at Washing.
ton for what it is, but in the form
Of pseudo-patriotic naval, military,
and financial experts it will be
better represented than any other
side of human life. One of the
most interesting things to do at
the conference will be to watch its
activities.
How much can we common men
ask for and hope for from this
great power? Self extinction is
too much-even if it were desira-
ole. But it is reasonable to de.
nand a DETECTION of it's activi-
lies to meet the urgent needs of
our present dangers. We do not
want the extinction of this great
body of business, metallurgical,
chemical, engineering and discip.
lined activities, but we do want
its rapid diversion from all too
easily attained destructive ends to
creative purposes now.
Armament Interests
Could BE Used for Peace.
A world peace scheme that does
not open out an immediate pros
pect for the release of financial
and engineering energy upon world
wide undertakings is hopeless

ated state concerned about our

international issues at the same time.
Exaggerate Respect
For Patriotic Excesses.
There is q curious exaggeration of
respect for patriotism and patriotic
excesses in all these projects for dis
armament and the mitigation of war
fare. We have to "consiSsr patriotic
susceptibilities;" that 10 she stereo-
typed formula of objection TO the
plain necessity of overriding the
present barbaric sovereignty Of sep
arate states by a world rule and a
world law protecting the common IN

In practice these patriotic suscep-

So far as I can ascertain, the
advocates of what l may call mere
disarmament propose to scrap thi:
mass of interests more or less com
pletely, to put its tremendous ar
ray of factories, arsenals, dock
yards, and so forth out of action

JUNE 5th is THE LAST DAY
FOR A KILLING FROST HERE
Oakland NeighbOrhOOd in Danger I'm
til Then, Weather Bureau States.

The State Weather Service will
shortly issue three maps for use OF
farmers and others interested in eli
pathological records. One will show
the average temperature ranges by
counties; another the average rainfall
and the third the growing periods. All
will be in colors and will be off the
press in about ten days.
The weather service is also contem-
plating getting out another map to
show conclusively the average time of
killing frosts in spring months. 1t is
surprising, said Director James H.
Spencer, to note the extreme ranges
in the variou securities. Baltimore,
due to the heat and smoke of the city,
enjoys the warmest climate of any
section of Maryland, while Oakland,
UP in the mountains, with an altitude
of 2461 feet, is the coolest part of the
State. The average date when there
is danger of killing frosts for Balti-
more and vicinity is given as of April
4, while at Oakland there is danger
until June 5. Some of the other Sec
lions given are as follows:
Hancock, April %; Hagerstown,
May 6; Frederick, April IL; Westmin-
ster, April "a; Belair, April Is; Ches-
tertown, April IL; Cambridge, April
7; Salisbury, April "a; Millsboro,
April IT; Pocomoke City, April 7;
Laurel, April "a; Upper Marlboro,
April Is; st. Mary's City, April Is.
The big variation between Hagers-
town and Frederick is said to be due
not so much to Hagerstown's higher
elevation but to the fact that it is in
direct line with cold waves which
come out of Pennsylvania and which
sweep down the valley of which Hag-
erstown is a part. The bay and ocean
also play their part in equalizing tenn
perature conditions.
