FALLING DOWN.

Much as we regret it, there is a feeling of p~essimism
creeping over us relative to the final outcome Of the
Washington arms conference. 1t is not measuring up to
expectations.
The leading delegates are suave in public and are pro-
fuse with high sounding phrases which mean little or
nothing. These are thrown out for the benefit Of the pub
lie.
In the committee rooms, behind closed doors, however,
it has been a different story, and that story is anything
but to the liking Of the people who bear the heaviest bur
dens of war.
The president called the conference for the avowed pur-
pose Of placing a distinct limitation upon ornaments,
that limitation to be worked out in such a manner that it
would be fair just to all nations concerned.
But each day it has become more and more apparent
that such is not the prime object of at least some Of the.
delegates from abroad. Instead, we are forced to the sus-
picion that the thought u%ppermost in the minds Of some of
them is a selfish one. The old game OF secret diplomacy is
at work, with each nation scheming for position and en-
deavoring to put something over on some other country.
Intense bitterness has cropped out between the dele
gates from abroad, and heated words are said to have been
passed in the committee rooms.
There appears to be no s~ingleness of purpose-no will
lingness to give and take-only a desire to take without
giving.
Such a spirit will not achieve the results the world de-
sires and expects. A covenant entered into under such
conditions can hardly be lasting. 1t may even go into
history as another "scrap of paper
The conference is falling down.

WHAT OF THE CHRISTMAS TREE?

The editor of the Republican was appointed on the pub
licity committee of the community Christmas tree at a
meeting the other night. But we don't know how to write
the publicity. Are we going through, even if the candy
Tor The KIDS has to be measured a little s~kimpilyg Or are
we going to lie down in the cold ashes and drawing our
sackcloth tightly over our outraged persons, refuse to be
comforted? It will come hard on the kids if we abandon
the plans and give them nothing but a little good advice
for Christmas, and if we spend a couple o. bones apiece
IN proclaimlng Peace on Earth y we may go without
~porkchops before spring.
Most everybody has still got a hambone in the cellar,
and it looks to the Republican as though we shouldn't get
cold feet and quit fiat for a little matter of putting on a
Tree, mats taking it out on a bunch of kids that are in no
way to blame, and if we go all in before the nav check he
gins to ! function regularly, let's take a chance. Let's put
on the Christmas tree. r.
