 From the outset the Hearst news papers have preached hard and often the probability of war with England and Japan and of war between France and England.
 The Hearst suggestion of prob able war with England is typically presented in the following paragraphs, from one of his newspaper editorials:
 "'The present Prime Minister, MT. Lloyd George, and the present chief British spokesman at the Washington conference, MT. Arthur Balfour, used almost the same words in speaking to Germany in 1912 that they are now using to America in Io21-almost the identical words.
 "'We do not impugn the veracity of eminent statesmen. We do not criticize them. They were and are faithful representatives of the policy of England. That policy does not change. It follows the plans and pre- cedents of former great leaders when those plans have proved successful. And the plan has always been to make combinations with other nations to destroy Great Britain's chief rival

Hearst newspapers today are pub to the cause of peace today as it would have been to the cause of vic tory during the war.
 The General Committee on the Limitation of Armament has watched carefully the course pursued by Hearst and other destructive infu eN~es. It considers it a duty to de clare to the American people its con demnation of Hearst destructiveness and war-provoking at an hour when all possible support must be mustered for the conference now meeting in Washington, in order that there may be brought about a limitation of armament and peace-begetting set clement of far-Eastern questions.
 "The Hearst influence has con- stantly been thrown in favor of con- tinued heavy armament. It has been in favor of an American navy and American Notifications capable of re- ducing the balance of the world to state of fear.
 Hearst is for continuance of the race for armament. He IS for pillng up the burden of which all nations are now striving to rid themselves. He IS for the race to see which nation can first accomplish suicide. In that capacity he is one of the foremost enemies of the present international conference in Washington. He is one of the foremost enemies of interna tional peace. He is one of the fore most enemies of a continuing organic relationship between the nations. He is sinister junker, seeking to call the world2 back to the road which leads to war.
 'It is unfortunate that there is in America such an influence as that of the Hearst publications. These pub licatoins have been wrong on every important international issue since 1914. While they have no effect on those who have time and opportunity to observe and become properly in formed, they are a constant menace to the right thinking of those who lack either the time or the oppor tunity to secure truthful information and analysis. Consider the typical destructive intent and purpose of the following introductory paragraphs to a lengthy editorial published in the Washington Times-and probably in

MANAGERS OF ALL EASTERN RAILROADS

10 to 30 P. C. Reduction to Be Asked
 of Labor Board.


 New York, Dec 16.-Chief operating officials of Eastern railroads met this week to consider wage cuts for train service. shop and maintenance of way employees, agreed upon schedules calling for reductions of from 10 to 20 per cent. The proposals must be submitted to the railroad labor board for rejection or approval.
 The railroads propose to request the employees to agree to a reduction in the wage scales as to establish them practi- cally upon the basis in effect prior to the increases which were granted by the United States railroad labor board ef- fective May l, 1920" said a statement issued by the executives.
 The railroads feel,'' it said, that they are justified in asking the employees to agree to rates of approximately @ cents an hour for skilled workers i'll the shop crafts, including boilermakers, black smiths, electricians sheet metal workers, and the higher grades of coach carpen- ters for the semi-skilled workmen, such
