saws the article, nobody quite knows the aggre-
gate war budget of the nations. 1t has been
variously estimated at from eight to ten billion
dollars year. If we take the smaller figure
and capitalize it at the modest rate of five per
cent the amount is $4,000, 100000, which
means that after extinguishing $348, 000, 10000
of the worlds wealth, S1600O0,000,000 of what
is left is now set aside to pay the reckoning and
make ready for new wars
Mr. Cobb also calls attention to another i'm
portant fact, namely, that economic resources
are quickly adapted to military uses, but mill
tary resources cannot be converted into economic
uses. He says:
Economic resources can be easily and quick
ly translated into military resources; sound
economic system is the essential element in any
extensive military undertaking. But these re-
sources are not interchangeable Economic
energy can speedily be converted into military
energy, but military energy is not convertible
into economic energy. Like the radiated heat of
the sun, it is lost. 1t can never be reassembled
and welded into another sum-
And the Detroit News commenting on the
combined military budgets of the world and the
cost of meeting this charge, says:
'"The wealth production on farms of the
United States, including both the value of crops
and of live stock, during the past decade has
ranged from eight to 20 billions annually. But
if all the wealth produced on all the farms of
the United States during the past 10 years were
totaled the sum would not be sufficient to cap
talize the war budget of the world so that it
could be met at the low rate of five per cent per
annum."
The great war debts of the world still remain
The powers have succeeded in paying few of
the floating loans, but they have not been able
Ito touch the war debts. In fact, they have not
been able to meet the interest charges.
How foolish to keep on spending billions for
ornaments, when the nations have been unable
to pay even the interest on the colossal sums of
money spent in the last war! Craftsmanship
must be blind if it cannot see the menace of con-
tinuing the expenditure of billions in conformity
with a policy that will lead to inevitable ruin
and chaos.
Well may the whole world pause on Nov s
and solemnly ponder the momentous issues in
volved in the disarmament conference Not one
nation, not one group of people, but the whole
world has something at stake in the final out
leone of the conference

INTERRUPTIONS,

Sometimes when l would write a

to find a theme uplifting, fellow who
would sell a cheese, a corkscrew or a
swarm of bees, to my abode comes
drifting. | sadly listen to his spiel and
try to tell how tough | feel, that can't
patronize him; l do not say that he's
bore, while to the fact that there's
door endeavoring to wise him. And
when he's gone there comes a dame
who wante to have me sign my name
TO some absurd petition; and, smiling
still across my face, gently shoe her
from my place in Johnson's New Addi-
ton. And then again | take my Tyre
and try TO MARBLE like a choir, punch
said Tyre and paw it; but Thompson
blows into my den to say he's lost his
Maltese hen, and ask me if | saw it.

The Disarmament Conference

The service which the religious bodies of the
city will conduct on the Sunday preceding the
first meeting of the disarmament conference will
give expression to desire, universally felt, that
all nations cease their reckless preparations for
war.
The feeling that the time is here when arma-
ments on a gigantic scale must cease is almost
universal. The people Of the United States have
not felt the full burden of the cost of war so
heavily as have some European nations, but the
cost of the World war has been onerous enough
to increase our taxes beyond any previous figure
and to affect seriously our industrial and COM
mercial enterprises.
And so the service on Nov. 6, in which the
community will muster its spiritual forces to
cooperate in the attainment of the purpose for
which President Harding has summoned the
conference, will express desire that is as deeply
felt in Richmond elsewhere in the United
States and the other countries whose representa-
tives will meet in the momentous assembly.
1t matters not what our attitude may be to-
ward the principle of disarmament, the practical
considerations at this time important enough
to enlist the support of every one. The world is
sick and tired of war; The cost of preparing for
hostilities and of paying for past wars is exorbit
ant-so exorbitant, in fact, that the whole world
faces bankruptcy unless these costs are greatly
diminished soon.
The human misery, suffering and woe which
accompany war should outweigh every consid-
Grafton of monetary nature but eliminating
this frightful charge against happiness and
health, the colossal costs in money should appeal
to every person to whom the human equation
is of less Importance
Frank /. Cobb, in an article in the Atlantic
Monthly, cites some facts which should go far
to enlighten us on this point.
After a war that cost approximately
S348,000,000,00 900 in property and production "

Urges More Humane Statutes.

That the present legislature should
pass many laws Of a humane nature
is the effect of a statement sent TO the
legislature by 4. E. Frederick, state
humane officer. Though there be a
number Of good avs relating to cru
city. yet there K still much legisla-
ton needed, says Mr.. Frederick.
Among subjects which should be leg
islated upon are the following: The
shipment of livestock in extreme
weather, especially calves: improve
ment of railroad stockyards; reguia-
ton OF trapping of fur-bearing AMI
mails ); enlargement Of powers of the
state humane officer; fixed terms for
county humane officers; increase in
moral and humane education in the
schools and the Withholding of
slaughter of food animals; division of
fines, collected for violation of humane
laws, with Incorporated humane so
cieties whose officers make the arrest,
etc. Numerous changes are also
needed to improve existing laws. There
should also be an Impartial and thor
ough investigation into the matter of
the necessity for vivisection and a suf-
ficient additional appropriation to COW
er the cost thereof. The appropria-
ton of $4,000 by the legislature of
1919, was far insufficient to permit
effective work in a state of Il coun-
ties. Had this department been ac-
lively at work fer the entire bienni-
um, this amount would not have been
half enough to cover the ordinary ex-
pense. A minimum appropriation of
$4,000 for the next biennium is need
ed"
