Democratic Criticism
of the Arms Conference
Subsidies Quickly

Attempts to discredit the Confer
ence on Limitation Of Armaments
both in it's motives and American per-
sonnel have been made by Democratic
dailies and weeklies since the plan was
first proposed by President Harding
to combine the armament question
with a discussion of Far East prob
lens. Confusion among the invited
nations over the scope and possible
outcome of the Conference has also
been sought, all directed to the one
end of putting this Conference toward
world peace in the light of doomed
to-be-unsuccessful political move Of
the Republican party.
The country has not responded to
this attitude, and when Democratic
political leaders issued from their ma
tional headquarters vicious attack
embodying all the criticisms that
could be collected or fabricated, popu-
lar disgust and condemnation Of the
Democratic policy was emphatically
heard. So determined are the mass
of people in this country to give
every support to the plan for settling
the questions which menace peace anC
for an agreement to lessen the armies
and navies of the world to the great
est degree reasonable and possible
that they will endure no partisan at
tempts at confusing the issue.
The Republican administration
claims no supreme wisdom, or rights
or tribute, in connection with the
conference of Allies. The time was
ripe for this country to make move
in the direction of a world agreement
on the subject proposed. The move
was made, dictated by the common
sense and sincerity Of purpose of The
President, as the President of all tn,
people. Success depends upon tht
cooperation of all the people. 1t i:
easy to forget that the building o.
constructive peace is as laudable {
task and an even more difficult ont
than winning war. The spirit o.
loyalty, cooperation and service i:
just as much needed in attacking th'
problems of world peace today, as i
was needed to win the war before
November II, 1918.

304 Women Bene6ting from
Wide Range of Courses

In providing useful and enjoyable
vacations for the nurses and hospital
and reconstruction aids who suffered
handicaps through war service, the
Federal Board of Vocational Educa-
ton has placed no narrow limitation
upon the choice to be made by the
women. Among the long list of SUBJ
jects offered are the following: &C
counting, acting, advertising, anesthe-
tizing, art, bacteriology, banking,
bookkeeping, business management,
china painting, chiropractic, CONNER
cial art, costume designing, demon
strating, court interpreting, decora-
tive modelling, dentistry, designing,
decorative art, domestic science, Eng
lish and French, farm managing,
horticulture, interior decorating,
journalism, laboratory work, land
scape gardening, medicine and many
other vocations.
One army nurse, who is So years
old and who saw sixteen. months
service in a front line hospital in
France was left totally deaf after an
attack of influenza. The Federal
Board gave her course in poultry
and bee culture in the University Of
California Farm School. She has two
homesteads situated about thirty
miles from railroad. Although this
land did not look promising, owing to
lack of water and remoteness from
other ranches, she made up her mind
to spend the rest of her life in this
locality, where she has already built
three-room cabin which she has ar
ranged comfortably, and she owns a
Ford automobile with which she
transports all the water used in con-
nection with her ranch. 1t is neces-
sary to bring the water ten miles.
"She has purchased a supply Of a
certain kind of barley seed which is
adapted to dry climate purposes"
says a bulletin of the board, "and she
is planting twenty-acre piece to
grain which she had previously put
under fence. She has just purchased
several colonies of bees and eventu-
ally expects to raise poultry and
turkeys.
"Another nurse whose overseas
service rendered her unable to carry
on in general practice was given
training as an anesthetist in Johns
Hopkins University. She is now en-
ployed in a large Pennsylvania hos
pital as an expert anesthetist. The
hardships of war nursing untitled an
other nurse for long hours and
strenuous nursing. The board has
trained her as a stengrapher-nu
for an established physician. In this
work she is enabled to keep in touch
with the things she has been interest
ed in for years and at the same time
to render valuable service in the busi-
ness department"

NATIONAL EVENTS
Observations and Comments Written for The Post

Yap, her continued occupation of the
Chinese Shantung, and her plans
for aggressive spoilation and colon
ization in other countries, brought
realization to Japan that more rea-
sonable and generous concessions were
necessary. She has apparently de-
cided further that she will fare better
in the individual settlements, and
have better standing as a nation
among the Allies if the more pressing
and important of her Pacific and
Eastern controversies are settled be-
fore November II.
Dependable reports already indi-
cate that the settlement of even such
a vexing problem as Oriental immi-
grafton is expected before the Confer
ence meets. Yap and Shantung seem
even further advanced toward settle
ment.

Washington Prepares
to Greet and Entertain
international Visitors at
the Arms Conference

The city of Washington is to be
swept and garnished for the reception
of the distinguished foreign guests
and the many American citizens who
will throng the capital during the
Conference on Limitation of Arma-
ments.
Citizens Of the District of Colum-
bia realize that the impression made
upon the foreign visitors by their re-
ception in America and particularly
at Washington will have important
bearing on their attitude toward dis
armament and other conference mat
ters. Stimulated by this RESPONSE
bility, a committee Of competent citi-
zens has undertaken leadership in the
city's preparations. $4,000 is to be
raised by the committee for looking
after the comfort, safety, and enter
tainment of the visitors. The various
city departments are expected to
strain every resource for making the
capital city live up to America at her
best.
The outstanding organization in
displaying the hospitality of this
country will be the American Legion.
The representatives of the American
Legion visiting in France this sum-
mer have been so thrillingly received
everywhere in France and Belgium,
that a corresponding enthusiasm has
spread to those who will welcome the
representatives Of the Allies here on
November II. With the combined ef-
forts of the Federal Government, the
City of Washington, the American
Legion, and other agencies, the well
come of the arms delegates ought to
satisfy the hardest hearts.
Among the preliminary events will
be the arrival of Marshal Foch on
October Goth. A rousing reception to
the great French soldier is assured,
and enthusiasm grows daily with the
details of preparation.
