REDUCTION ON ARMAMENT WILL LEAD
 TO SCIENTIFIC PLANS FOR FUTURE WAR:
Industrial and Scientific Development in Peace Convert ble to War Use, Will Be Aim of Great Powers, Ac-
 cording to Long headed Thinkers in England.

London, Nov. 2.-The prospect of reduction of armaments is giving pause to many long-headed thinkers in Britain.
 Generally speaking, the public, ex- cept the more active leaders of La Dor, does not care particularly about the disarmament issue. For centu- ries since, in fact, the ffrs1 English being the Teutonic extraction-came to this island from Schleswtg on the heels of the departing Romans about 1,500 years ago, the plain John Git izen has been accustomed to bearing, without noisy complaint, the burdens of arms and armaments and of wars. It is a habit.
 That portion of Ihe population which might-with apologies-be re- ferred to as the intelligencia is be- ginning to weigh the pros and cons of reduction of armaments. The sub ject is weighed with a question mark.
 We have come to think that only France fears Germany. Fear is per Is concerned about Germany, pros- trate as she seems to be.
 The reason is the conviction, abea- ted by experts in the science of war fare. that the next war will be be- yond present imaginings, one of ma chimes and chemistry.
 Channel No Protection.
 Britain is finding that she is very close to the Continent of Europe. The one time protective Channel has shrunk to the size of a biGgish river. Its strategic importance as a bulwark of safety is diminishing.
 Moreover, we are told, the next war will be one of industrial re- sources, and the master warrior of the future will be one who can weld a nation into an industrial fighting ma chine, whereof the most far-f1ung departments of industry become as essen daily a fighting unit as the bat talion of artillery.
 Despite her industrial supremacy in certain restricted lines, Britain is not an an-around industrial nation. Science hasn't the same standing as it has in Germany, or even in the United States
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1921-11-02

The opinion is growing that re- striction of the generally accepted form of armaments-guns, ships. aeroplanes, masses of men, etc.-will result in the secret devodng of sci ence to new methods of warfare. That, while nations ostensibly disarm, such nations as have the power of control and direction of their indus trial developmens will quietly build it in time of peace, toward the end that it shall be convertible to war use inste stentaneously. Germany, above all others in Europe, is such a nation.
 Germans Conquer Air.
 Germany is defeated and helpless. Yet, it is pointed out, she had pro- gressed farther in aeronautics than any other nation, and she is develop commercial basis, within the limits which the treaty allows. Also, Ger mans monopoly in certain industries essential to warfare is such that Brit ain is making frantic effors to ene courage such key industries here by high protective tariffs. The anxiety of sonno officials has been so great in this respect that they have just listed protected categories, winning the sat- irical plaudits of the Opposition press.
 With talk of reduction of arma- metns in the air, just a hina of the old pre-war and wartime theory of the German as superfhuman in sci ence and the science of warfare is creeping back into the public prints. Just a hint, but it is enough to make some influential men '1ean over back ward'' on the question of disarma- mcnt.
 The question in some minds here abouts might be paraphrased thus:
 If limitation of ahe known meth ods Of warfare accelerates development of new methods and gives the highly or ganized industrial nation a running start toward victory, shouldn't the subject be approached with the most extreme caution?
 This is primarily the reaction of the exponent of pure reason applied to international affairs. Practical states men who must find money needs must weigh O her considerations.

October goth of this year at the Of

This is the first general meeting

February IA, 1921, when Articles of

ANYTHING BUT FAILURE!

There is no such thing as failure
except in your own mind. Ii you
Tram yourself to ign. your fail
ures as mere incidents leading in
evitably to success, you will cease to
worry about failure, which is your
first success!
All men CT mark and position have
a string of failures trailing after
them in the shadow Of oblivion-the
proper place for them.
The eason such men succeed
eventually is that they kept on ig-
noring their failures as fast as they
made them.
Show me man who repeatedly
losing money in trading stocks, and
| will show you a man who is re-
peatedly worrying about failure. He
hasn't learned to put failure past
him. Exp. .'ience hasn't taught him
anything. He follows every opinion
except his own because he hasn't
learnt to form an opinion of his own
worth sticking too.

TAX EXEMPTIONS

In an editorial on tax exemptions
in the Dearborn Independent, en-
pleiyes Of the Federal Government
were mentioned with state, county
and municipal officials and employees
as enjoying what seems like an un-
fa..~ exemption from income taxes.
A Philadelphia reader calls the In
dependents attention to the slip and
protests against the injustice of "the
discrimination against Federal Gov
ernment employees" He instances a
Register of Wills in his city who
enjoys an average income Of $780,
900 yearly from fees and who does
not pay cent of income taxes, while
the anything but overpaid United
States Government employees in high
ly important technical services have
to pay on the same basis as other
citizens.
The whole thing is inequitable and

While the subject is up why not

which now exists on city, county,

Federal Farm Loan. Bonds which
raise money for purely private pur
poses? Over S30,000,0O0OO tax ex-
empt bonds now escape all forms of

ment must be made up by double
taxation on industry and the public.
