In support of such an agreement. the
manufacturers urge that il the railroads

admitted they urgently need. and will agree
TO reduce rates there will follow an imme-
diate increase in railroad work. permitting
the employment OF thousands OF men now

a LII that President Harding said in his
"A speech before the Army War College
may be true. l. may be that wars will
continue civilization has not advanced TO
a point where international conflict may be
outlawed there is still manifest need for
both armies and nayies. and there will be
no disarmament in the life of this genera
ton, if at all. All this may be true, but
why in Heavens name say il?
Least OF all. is the President OF the United
States. the man who issued the invitation
TO the powers 10 meet in Washington for
disarmament conference. justified in max
ing such statements. He must understand
by now. for he is a man OF understanding,
that declarations of this sort from men

is needed 10 Kill disarmament enthusiasm.

nations toward each other and to render
impossible the success of any movement for
decisive reduction OF ornaments.
Perhaps the President would not have
spoken so frankly if lie had realized how
seriously his remarks are being taken; if
he had felt for moment that he would
place an obstacle in the path of the con
ference which he has originated, or if he
had reflected in advance upon tho full sgni-
ficance OF his declarations The most char
liable view OF the matter is that Mr. Hard
ing was not aware that what be had 10 say
10 body of professional militarists would
be quoted beyond the hall in which they
were gathered.
But reporters were present, as they al
ways are when the President of the United
States is speaking publicly. They were
under the necessity Of giving an account
of what was said, and it is recorded that
whereas Mr. Harding spoke extern
poraneously and wholly without notes. the
White House made ,rHilic oh the same day
the official text Of the speech Moreover.
this text, as clcar-cut as it is on the cues
ton OF military and naval preparedness. is
less emphatic, We are told, than tho original
remarks,
The privilege OF course, must no, be de-
MED the President OF expressing his honest
convictions in a straightforward manner
and at such times rs he elects to address
the American people. lie is one offcial
who, above all others, should not be under
any sort OF censorship or tutelagc Bu, IL
" none the less unfortunate that Mr.. Hard
ing, within a few days from the final re-
Spudiation BY his administration of the
league of nations and within Il few weeks
of the meeting OF the Washington confer

hooks, only about 1850 arc active
The remainder presumably, are the
names OF persons who have either
died or moved away from the city;

thority to have the names removed
