naval construction is the greatest
menace to world peace. and because
of the unsettled condition it is be-
neved impractical for certain power
ml nations of Europe TO consider
military disarmament at this time,
Senator Borah's resolution authoriz-
ing the president to call a disarma-
ment conference limited the invita-
tions to Great Britain and Japan and
to a decrease in expenditure for naval
construction. He contended That as
these were the three greatest sea
powers and that they were making
the greatest additions to their naval
strength, an agreement among them
to reduce naval expenditures would

due time disarmament once estab-
lished on the sea, would be followed
by similar agreements affecting arm

evidently going farther than the
Borah amendment contemplates. He

Japan. France and Italy to partici-
pate in a disarmament conference
which will include military as well as
naval armament and he also pro-
poses that the conference shall also
consider national policies with re-
spect to the Pacific and far east
Possibly the presidents plan is the
better we will leave that for those
who are versed in statecraft to de-
eide; but of one thing we are certain,
il was Senator Borah who forced the
question to the front in
spite of what seemed to be insuper-
able opposition. 1t is confidently be-
Iieved that the disarmament confer

that the agreements reached will in

FEDERAL ROAD BILL.

Favorable report was ordered by
the senate postofice and post roads
committee this week on the Town
send bill to create a federal highway
commission and to establish an in
terstate system of public roads.
Three democratic members Of the
committee-Senators Watson, Of
Georgia; Mcclellan. of Tennessee, and
Heflin. of Alabama-voted against
the bill and will file a minority re-
port probably recommending that no
change be made in the present fed
eral road law
The bill as ordered reported pro-
vides for a federal highway commits
sion of three members instead of five
as proposed in the original bill. The
members of the commission would
be appointed by the president with
the consent of the senate and would
be paid annual salaries Of $4,000.
The annual appropriation of $780,
00O 900 to aid the states in building
roads would be continued. with the /

SILVER DOLLARS.

Coinage Of silver dollars has been
resumed by the mint after a lapse Of
seven years and the work of replac-
ing the 279 million standard silver
dollars taken from the treasury dur
ing the war to sell to Great Britain
has been begun.
Since late in March treasury Off
Gals said this week, approximately
20 million silver dollars have been
coined. In the same period cores
ponding amounts of silver certificates
were issued and federal reserve notes
treasury certificates securing them,
retired. This process, officials said,
would probably continue for the next
five years until the treasury's reserve
of silver dollars is back to its pre-
war basis
The mint officials explained, ceas-
ed coming silver dollars in 1914 when
the supply of metal purchased under
the coinage act was exhausted. Fur
Their authority to make the dollars
was not forthcoming until 1918 when
congress passed the Pittman act to
enable the sale of melted dollars to
England for the relief of the silver
shortage in India.
Under the terms of the act Direct
OF of the Mint Baker sold to England
279 million silver dollars. amounting
to POS million pieces of silver, at
S1.Olh an ounce, plus the market
price of the copper content in the
dollar. The IL cents. Mr.. Baker ex-
planned paid for the cost of melting
and transportation and the cost of
recoinage.
The work OF reAHing the hole left
n the treasury's vaults Mr.. Baker
said, was now well under way, the
mint striking off silver dollars at the
rate of about 8 to 10 million a month
Since May. 1920 the mint has bought
about SO million ounces of American
silver at 81 an ounce and will con-
tnue to make it's purchases at this
price until the treasury's stock is re-
plenished.

Big Bits return will merely be elo-

it's restraints and disadvantages, is
immensely preferable to freedom in

the economic effects Of prohibition,

Just now is guessing what Robins

AS a marble masterpiece like 1.-The

thinking about.
He is wondering how he will meet

He is considering how he can fin

He is trying to decide whether-he

or from all of them
He is hesitating between the over

clared that the proposed alliance be-

this country as Japan was looking
forward to days of everlasting peace
and not to days of war He also said
that the passage of the Borah bill, and
