PERSHING'S OPINION

IT T IS UNLIKELY that there is
 any American who knows more about war, both in theory and practice, than Gen. Pershing and this fact gives double significance to his plea for drastic cuts in armament dinner in New York.
 "The world" he said, ''does not see to learn from experience" How true this statement is and how damn tho integrity. and the progress of the human race. History does not go back far enough to tell of a time when war was not, and civilization, seemingly, has not advanced far enough to do away with so obviously
 After pointing out that the esti- mates recently presented to Congress for naval and military purposes for the next fiscal year contemplate an appropriation amounting to over five million dollars a day for. every work ing day in the year. the General said: 'It is a gloomy commentary upon world conditions that expenditures several times greater than ever be- fore in peace times should be con- sidered necessary, especially when the most rigid economy in governmental administration is essential if we would avoid national bankruptcy
 'It would appear that the lessons of the past six years should be enough to convince everybody of the danger of nations striding up and down the earth armed to the teeth.''
 1t should be, but it does not seem to be. nor the six thousand which have gone before, nor the ten times six thousand which went before those. There are still plenty who claim that the prevention of war, is to prepare for even greater war, and steadily ad- vocate the theory that wars can never cease, and continually urge the multiplying of the armament burden
 In view of these facts the General asks if it is not time for an awaken ing among enlightened peoples to the end that the leading powers may reach some rational agreement which would not only relieve the world of this terrible financial load but which in itself would be a Ions step toward the prevention of war?'
 The General sees clearly the enc to which preparedness, increased arm aments. war, and the crushing taxe they involve inevitably lead and h, points them out fearlessly. "Unles some such move be made, we ma! well ask ourselves whether ciyiliza ton does reach a point where it be gins to destroy itself, and whether W, are thus doomed to go headlong dow1 through destructive war to darknes and barbarism.'

ANOTHER BOGY LAID

EASILY alarmed people allowed themselves to by the possibility that
 ain might combine with Ion attack on the United n4 have believed that Great
 bound by treaty with Ja-
 upport that power in any
 eh might break out between
 the United States.
 oogy, which has seemed con-
 reason to most thinlling
 is now pretty effectually laid
 ecent editorial in the London
 It declares the belief to be
 'squely false" and claims that
 Ihole history of the raltions be- l England Japan demonstrate be false.''
 ;ot only is it not true that our .ty stipulations with Japan bind us join her in war against the United tes," says this editorial, but we iberately varied those stipulations 1919 for the express purpose of cluding the possibility of mourning lis liability. The provision in the ubsisting treaty is explicit
 ] It may be assumed without Ques- kion that when this great London pa per makes such an editorial assertion that 1t is in possession of the facts and that the official understanding between the Japanese and English governments concerning the United States is as it represents.
 It is a real service that the paper renders in making clear just what the understanding is for it has been a favorite amusement with certain groups of people in this country hav- ing various ends to serve, to trot out this bogy and by means of it create feelings of distrust and enmity to- ward both Japan and England.
 It is always a dangerous and crim- inal thing to inflame the passions and prejudices of the ill-informed Tn this case great evils might yer. possibly result and anything whicf tends to allay the feelings of resent ment and suspicion which have beer engendered and cultivated is to b, welcomed.
 Thoughtful people in all three o these great nations have long realiz cd that there is no need for frictio,

FROM THE SUNNY
 SOUTH, BUT ACCENT DOES NOT REGISTER

Leatrice Joy believes that she has lost all trace of her southern accent. but a few days ago, when she was a guest of honor at al luncheon given by an exclusive club in Los Angeles and had made little speech of thanks, she ended with "Lawdy, you-au lon't know how happy I am and I reckon I can't tell you'-and then every one knew she came from below the Mason and Dixon line.
 She reconciles herself by remember ing that ones accent doesn't regis ter'' on the screen, anyway. Miss Joy played in "Bunty Pulls the Strings recently finished, and is now playing the part of a Chinese girl in 'tThe Water Lily" by Gouvsrneur Morris.

According to Che Jones shipping bill even if Cam adian wholesalers ship goods into Canada and pay duty on them they cannot roship the goods to Alaskan ports on Canadian vessels. This in- depreciation of Che law makes it al- most impossible for merchants Co &C., cure some things that they have been sold out off, Butter. eggs and such things were brought north. as they were produced in Canada. but some varieties of fruits and green vege- tables produced only In California, were left behind
