WOULD SUIT THE KAISER

With all the respect in the world for the great
religious organization which met in Philadel phia
the other day, it may be said that its disarmament
resolution would make cid Bill Hohenzoern grin
behind the ears if he were president of the United
States. In effect. it calls upon Congress to keep
army and navy appropriations as low as is con-
slsent with the security of the nation But how
much navy does it take to make the nation secure?
And must it rely solely upon its military strength
for its security?
he point of security is never reached according
to the mlitarst so long as any other nation, or any
combination of nations, could lick us. Hence to
be perfectly safe in this belIigerent world we must
have 'incomparaby the biggest navy" We must
be the champion able to whip all comers, whether
they come single SPIES or in batallions. Every
big navy senator, every armament speculaor, every
munitions maker, echo the sentiment of the
resolution because. as they understand it, it limits
preparation just to the point at which they would
want to stop
But there is another view Even the very weak
est nations rarely attacked, provided thew treat
all other nations right and look strictly after their
own affairs. If 10 those virtues be added strong
strategic position like ours reputation fer unfal
tenng courage in just cause, and the latent abil
ity to develop strength in almost measureess guam
tity. it enjoys very high degree CT security Many
people honestly believe that the difference between
the absolute security of invincibe armament, and
the comparatively security of just cause and
other favorable conditions, is not worth the per-
petual yoke of military bondage which is the in

THE COLLEGE DRIVE

An endowment and building fund of one mil
lion dollars is needed by Southern College. A
good deal Of that sum has already been subscribed,
but the entire amount is needed. and ''drive" for
the purpose of giving every one interested in the
cause Of education change to assist, will be
started tomorrow.
The appeal is not to any one locality, although
it is expected that Lakeland will show its appre-
citation of the act of the college trustees in locating
the institution here, by subscribing literally 1t
appeals to all, whether Methodists or not, wheth-
err church members of any denomination or not,
who believe in the elevating influence of knowl-
edge.
Florida needs Southern College, not only it
is, but as it light be if its endowment were such
as to relieve it of all financial worries and leave
it free to carry on its good work in accordance
with the best plans and methods The whole
country needs such Institutions because they are
all too few for the task that confrons them, that
of enlightening the people, setting them free from
the shackles which ignorance impose upon body,
mind and soul, and leading them up the pathway
of Christian civilization.
In working to secure the college, we were JUS
tilted perhaps in thinking of the special advantages
which would result to Lakeland from its presence,
but in working to endow and equip it, we should
think only Of the good to humanity which our con-
tributions will enable it to accomplish.

NOT CONSPIRACY.
OF EMPLOYERS
President of American Pulp and
Paper Association Says 1t Is
Natural Result of Condition


New York, April 14.-Denial that
the open shop movement was in any
sense a conspiracy of employees was
made today by George w. Sisson,
president OF the American Pulp and
Paper Association, in addressing the
convention.
Il believe" he said, that the rapid
spread and spontaneous support of
the open shop movement IS but a nat
ural reaction from the extremists
conduct and the assertion local ana
national of closed shop unionists. Ii is
not in any sense conspiracy of en-
ployers' but flows in an increasingly
insistent and very significant popular
demand for the recognition and res
toratiOn Of principles as old as our in
situations.
"A labor policy that is economically
unsound cannot long endure for it
can only result in disaster for the in
dustry that attempts to maintain it.
The final test of labor policy is it's
success in bringing about higher de-
gree of individual development of the
worker and more general contentment
in industry"
Mr.. Sisson declared it was time to
call halt on the tendency to govern
ment interference in dustry" He APP

structive suggestions to government
