GOOD EXAMPLE FOR JAPAN.

Suspension by Great Britain Of work on her four
Hood-type battleships and the resolution pending in
congress to suspend all American naval construction
are facts for Japan to ponder whether or not there
is any deliberate design to influence her by example
in the matter of armament limitation.
The British ships are not yet laid down, but
that does not diminish the significance of the Lon
don decision. Money has been expended on them
and costly preparatory work was under way. Sus-
pension of these activities Is most worthy compli-
ance with the spirit of the popular movement Tor
establishment of durable peace through eliminating
the potential causes Of war and limiting the means
of prosecuting hostilitles. 1t Is audaole'
Naturally Japan has ideas of her own on how
far 1t safe for her to go In curtaing her naVai
strength. At the moment her request for mora
warsbips than would be permitted her under the
Hughes plan make a distinctly bad impression. The
1ananese representatives think she needs them for

will have to show substantial reasons for fearing

the ability of that country to attack her success

Of others must be the limitation of any countrys

BEATING SWORDS INTO PLowsHAREs.'

An important contribution to that popular psy-
chology which will have large influence in bring
ing to favorable issue the deberaton of the imita
ton of ornaments conference is made by Henry
Ford in announcing his readiness to buy all the
warshps that scrapped in the interest of peace
The Ford plan is to cut up the engines of destruc-
ton and transform them into implements of useful
production and joy. 1t is noble conception
Though the people are convinced that sinking the
worlds navies in the deepest part of the would
be Of nestimable benefit to mankind, provided no
more craft built, practical business sense
cautions against such downright waste If there IS
any way to avoid it. We all remember the joy &C.
casioned by the news that Germany to be de-
prived OF her navy, and which was followed by
popular questioning of the wisdom of sinking the
ships. Most people felt that much good metal
should be converted for the benefit of man. trans

rived from the German craft in Americas en-
poyment Of its share targets in demonstration

will not need to the discarded battleships and
csruiers thus, for being bent doing away with
war, not interested in developing arma

How better could we realize the ancient ideal of
peace that called for beating swords into plow
shares than by recasting battleshp materials into
implements of agriculture, transportation and other
aids to industry, art and science? 1t s not prema
ture to consider how shall dispose OF surplus war
craft And it will help to the decision to reduce
ornaments IL it be known that q double benefit
will flow from it.

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE.

Chicago, Nov. 2S.-Heavy falling
off in the estimated exportable sur
plus of Australia together with a
record breaking low condition of
the winter crop in Kansas did
much today to lift the value of
wheat. Prices closed unsettled but
2bc@21hc net higher, with De-
cember $1.14h to $1.14% and May
$1.17% to $1.17B. Corn finished
unchanged to hc up. oats un-
changed to sc off and provisions
unchanged to 55c higher.
The wheat market was a broad
affair, with a material increase of
trade from the outside. Commits
sion houses were especially active
on the buying side, and were APP
parently much impressed by the
Kansas state report showing crop
condition Of 5S.6 as against So last
year and q ten-year average of 81.
Later bullish sentiment was further
stimulated by word that the lead
ing British authority had reduced
his estimate of the Australian sur
plus to S0,000,000 bushels, a cut
Of 20 per cent. A decrease in the
United States visible supply was
also bullish factor, but the effect
Of this influence was diminished by

The gradual but steady advance in the prices
of the various issues of Liberty bonds indicated by
the daily quotations, must be gratifying to govern
ment officials and others who advised the people
to retain their holdings in these securities until
general business conditions increased their value.
The early issues which quoted a few
months ago at from $s2 to $S5 are now quoted in
the market at than s94, while the Victory
bonds quoted within few cents of par, Per-
who sold their bonds in fear that they would
