The Mothers Opportunity

Harriet, young mother who
felt the weight of her responsibility,
addressed letter to a friend who
had raised a family and was several
times a grandmother, asking her
advice as to her duties. Here is
the gist OF the answer she received.

rearing OF your children. All
mothers do. You also have a
wonderful opportunity, for the
mothers rank first in the business

build onto the foundation which
the mother has laid.
First, then, it is necessary that
you have absolute control of your

or worry and never nag, for you
are your children's model and their
mode of action is patterned after
yours.

A Step Further

We know that the prevention of
future Wals is one of the great
tasks to which the women OF the
nation are to devote themselves
hereafter. A question which
arises is, Why not carry the prin-
clple of disarmament further and
make it apply to individuals as
we'll as nations?
The purpose Of this would be TO
reduce the wave of crime which
has almost got beyond control of
late. The plan that is being serl-
ously urged in some quarters is to
take away from the people all pis-
tolls and revolvers and not to pei
nit the manufacture of these par
tlcular weapons by private indlv-
lduals or firms henceforth.
Such plan would, it seems, re-
duce greatly the number of muir
ders, hold-ups and burglaries and
check the operations OF professional
criminals generally, for most of
these persons use the pistol as their
chief implement or tool and use it
for the sole purpose of killing their
fellowmen. Indeed, it is hard to
see how they could ply their trade
successfully without the aid of this
instrument of death. Pistols and
revolvers are not used for sporting
purposes as are rifles and shotguns.
Criminals have them for the pur-
pose of killing others; and other
people have them that they may
defend themselves when attacked.
The function of these is to kill.
Then why not do away with them
altogether, or permit no one to
have them save by special per-
mission duly recorded?
Just as by controlling the arma-
ments Of nations we can reduce the
danger of war, so by controlling

Other Ways to Peace

In thea minds of some there is
another and a better way Of keep
ing Germany in weakness than
that Of laying a great indemnity
upon her. 1t is to forbid the man
ufacture by her of armament and
munitions of war of every kind.
Without the implements of modern
warfare, it is held she would be
virtually helpless and so would
never dare to precipitate another
conflict.
The plan would doubtless prove
effective if it could be carried out;
but while it is true that she is sub
hitting to such a demand just
now, we may be sure that after a
few years when the agents and SOL
dlers of the. allies will have been
withdrawn, she will resume the
manufacture of the forbidden ar
tlcles on some such scale as in the
past.
1t is obvious that no such de-
mand could be enforced for long,
and so this plan, like others that
have been suggested, seems i'm
practicable.
There is still third alternative
Some hold that leniency and Chris.
tan kindness on the part of the
allies wouldlactually work the de-
sired transformation in the Ger
man nature and ideals, thus &C
comprising what can never be
done by force or diplomacy. The
trouble is again that it seems to BIZ
a case where mercy might easily
lead to the destruction of those ex
tending it; and SO long as there is
genuine reason to doubt the result
no nation can be expected to incul
the risk arising from the adoption
of such a policy. Self-preservatior
is the first law Of nations as il
should be; and SO long as Germany
adheres to her warlike faith, no ma

ton will probably be found trying
to make her cup of woe less bitter.
The Inevitable Plan

Doubtless the preceding articles
have already suggested the solu-
ton Of the German problem which
the leading statesmen of all ma
lions are seeing more and more
clearly.
1t is true that by controlling the
manufacture of the implements and
munitions OF war future conflicts
could be averted; but this does
not apply to Germany alone for
there will never be real safety UNI
til the manufacture of such articles
is controlled IN every other nation
as we'll Moreover, the control
must be permanent, not temper
airy; and it must be administered
in the interests not of,one, or of a
few favored nations, but of all
mankind.
To realize all this, there is no
other way than to organize some
sort of league or association of ma
lions whose chief business perhaps
would be the limiting of arma-
ments. Indeed, it is not Just clear
that such an ASSOCIATION would
need to have any other business,
/ for II armaments were kept really
small, the danger of war would
likewise be small Unprepared
nations are slow to enter war. Ii
all nations were kept unprepared,
it is not easy to see how any really
destructive war could get started.
The fist move that such an as
ISOLATION OF nations would have to
make would be to forbid the man
ufacture of arms and munitions OF
war by private individuals or firms
any where in the world. 1t is here
that the mischief really begins fol
| there is every evidence that very
much of the ill-will and bitterness:
among nations is secretly slirleo
up by the makers of death-dealins
implements in order to create :
market for their wares.
i At any rate, If such an associa.
ton OF nations can be organized
it is apparent that Germany would
4 be kept under control just as al
other nations would be and that
this control would not terminate
within few years but would con
tinue indefinitely.

The Fading Hope

The most perplexing question OF
the hour is how to curb a war-hke
people against its will and thus to
assure peace to the rest of the
world.
The people are the Germans,
who two thousand years ago were
among the most dreaded foes of
the Roman armies, and in whose
veins still seems to flow the lust OF
battle just as it did then. In
every other respect, their progress
has been marvellous indeed; but
they are still lovers of war; and if
the signs are read Alright, Shey do
not mean to give it up merely be-
cause of their recent defeat.
When we remember that it took
all the rest Of the world to beat
them, we can see the danger of al
lowing them to regain their
strength A Germany that is
peaceable will have welcome
place in the family of nations; but
a Germany that is warlike must in
some way be kept weak and help
less.
This gives US a clue as to the
real meaning of the enormous in
demnity that is being demanded
of her by her victorious enemies,
which apparently is to be fixed at
somewhere between fifty and sixty
billions OF dollars. OF course, it is
actually a matter OF justice that
those who suffered at her hands
should be Unidentified for their
great losses of blood and treasure,
especially since she, herself, es-
capped devastation; but the more
powerful motive with the allies is
the determination to keep her SC
poor that she will not again be
able to let loose such an unspeak.
able calamity upon the other ma
tions of the earth.
Ii we find ourselves a little i'm
patient with France that she is 81
