Government markets estimated to be
worth $1,000. 900 900 to American busi-
ness men in the next ten years will be
destroyed by the Hughes program OF
an international naval holiday now
ready to be written into formal agree
ment by delegates attending the Confer
ence on the Limitation Of Armament
That estimate based on Government
reports shows the extent OF the sacri-
fee American business men are making
voluntarily.
Judge Z. II Gary Of the United States
Steel Corporation and Charles M.
Schwab Of the Bethlehem Steel Company
are two officials Of big concerns who
are on record as favoring without Quali-
fication the naval holiday plan. Manu-
facturers and business men generally
have given spirited applause to the
limitation of armaments through per-
sonal letters to members OF the Ameri-
can delegation and through the state
menss of officials of the Chamber OF
Commerce of the United States.
Had the naval holiday program not
been accepted by the conference the
United States was preparing TO spend at
minimum 500. 100000 a year on new
ship construction alone for the next ten
years. With this building program
abandoned. Government orders will cease
to flow in such large numbers to ship
builders. steel companies. gun factories,
manufacturers OF electrical apparatus,
foundries and other plants OF various
kinds.

China Left in the Lurck, As

MADRID, Dec. 23.--Writing in the Lib
ertad on the decisions of the Washington
conference. DR.. Camille Barcia, a Span
ish political expert. after declaring that
poor, unfortunate China has been Left
in bad position" argues that the Pow
ers "are simply waiting for the fruit to
ripen in order to distribute it among
themselves"
"This." he said. furnishes the press
with an instance OF diplomatic shame
lessness. Sensible. Intelligent persons
will be able to qualify with the proper
denomination the results of the confer
ence. which apparently are pacific. but
which really only arrange a truce before
further conflicts"
The writer concludes by asserting that
It Is dishonest to speak of the confer
ence as one Of peace.

PECGlNC AWAY
(By Rev. S. w. Franklin.)

I'd! NV .. w TFaHhTI1J :
There are dreamers who steadily gaze into space,
With far-away look in their eye,
They heed not the needs of a suffering race,
Nor the cries of the crowds that go by.
The clouds all silvered and flowers all gay,
No problems, wrongs for earth's mob:
But the work of the world goes different way,
Its just peggng away at the job.
There are others look down at injustice and wrong
Till their hearts fill with hate for their kind,
They every smile and discord every song,
And they crush every hope that they find
But the man who does most for himself and the rest
And the Father who hears what ask
Is the man who while seeing things works his best,
BY just pegging away at the task
Not the dreamer who fools himself all things 60 WELL
Nor the cync who feels all is wrong,
Can the secret of service and usefulness tell,
And of helping the kingdom along:
But the man who while knowing the of earths sim
Sees the Christ light break in through the dark
Lifts the victory cry Ger the noise and the din,
And keeps peggng away at his work.

PALAT|AL LIBRARY

yer has one OF the most beautifully
appointed and richly-carved library
rooms west OF the Mississippi, II 10
"bookless," and prospects for it's
empty shelves being soon filled with
tones of knowledge are remote.
Five years ago Denvers palatial
postoffice building was completed.
Thousands of pictures taken Of, tn,
structure showed it's elaborate in
terror, with its wonderful columns,
corridors, court rooms and offices.
They showed, also, the ornate H..
brary--its fine grained finish, the
band-carved decorations. the Latin
Inscriptions over the doors. and the
names OF literary celebrities. such as
Bacon, Dickens, and Macauley But
these photographs never showed a
single book on the vast shelf spaces
there were none there.
Shortly after completion of the
postoffice building the war broke
out and when the United States en-
tered the conflict none of the Colo
RADIO representatives in Congress was
anxious to ask that body for an ap-
preparation to purchase books for
the elaborate library room in the
building.
And now the mooted waves of
economy in Governmental appropria-
tions continues to be a handicap to
securing sufficient yellow-boun VOL
umes to fll the gaping shelf space.
and Denver's most beautiful library
room remains starkly empty.
