woman, women heroioally starve
themselves, and deny themselves
everything they like TO eat and drink.
Left TO themselves, women would
wash their faces, screw up their hair
into a knot the size Of walnut, put

pers, and be as old. and fat, and
homely, and comfortable as God made

left they can never do that. They

EditelaI Comment
On
0ETTlNa REApY


ltIom the New York Tribune)
The explanation Is furnished that
the president delays summoning a
disarmament conference to make
sure that the gathering will effect
something and not pass into history
as another failure.
The explanation Is reassuring.
Haste In such matters often means
less speed. All the public asks is
Reasonable evidence that the work Of
preparation goes forward diligently
and that postponment is with the
sincere desire Of getting good re-
suits. The President Is Wise to
disregard the impatient appeals OF
those more interested in seeming
to do things than in doing them,
But the public expects and has a
right to expect action. We shall, OF
course, not throw down our arms,
no matter what others do. The abil.
ity to provide national defense is
basic. But II must be clear that
this country Is willing and eager to
go as far as others in reducing war
burdens. This always has been the
policy Of America. There is now a
statute authorizing the president,
and in effect instructng him. to sum
mon disarmament conference.
Some Of the irreconcilables Of the
senate are said to be alarmed by
fear that something will be done to
lessen war expenditures. II such is
the case the group may get new
name-may be called the incorrIgl-
bles, their autagonism is to be ig-
nored, Germany made a business
Iot blocking disarmament plans. This
country would not take up the Ger
man role.
The British prime minister has
gone far In extending an invitation
to this country to take the lead in
promoting a disarmament confer
ence. France Is Of similar mind and
so is Italy, and so are the RESPONSE.
BILE statesmen Of Japan: and II
would seem as II no very long per-
iod would be necessary to carry
through the preliminary negotiation
and to get within sight OF com
mon program.
1t is by no means impossible that
the Harding administration will be
rated as success or a failure ac-
cording as 1t satisfies American
public opinion by achieving some.
thing that will at once lessen the
dangers OF war and tighten the
weight of the military preparation
which the future must carry.
