Many Ask Treasurer

The patience of tho Treasurer Of the

A real advance was made In June
toward stopping the traffic In wom-

and, thanks principally to Mr.. Bal

white slave traffic convention was
adopted by the assembly Of the

The international labor office has

The story Of the Lusitania and of
torpedoed hospital ships il still too
vivid In our minds for US to see them
as anything but brutal and In

submarine warfare Is possible Tor
any country hard pressed in time Of
war and can be pushed to the utmost
on the plea of self-defense no matter
what limitations may be agreed
upon by international conferences or
law. Submarines, again, are tempt
ingly cheap compared with capital
ships, yet they involve an enormous
outlay in anti-submarine armament
out Of all proportion to the size and
number Of the submarines which are
to be warded off.
Aeros and Poison Gas.
You may say: what about air
craft and poison gas7" l am not
forgetting these. No one who lived
, through Zeppelin raids or who has
ever seen badly gassed soldiers IL
very likely to forget them. But both
of these things are In an altogether
different category. We can and
should set our faces against them.
We can all strive hard to build up
public opinion against them 30 that
any nation that bombs or pOis0ns .

But both air and chemical warfare
are inextricably bound up with our
ordinary commercial and Industrial
life.

critics, are left where they were.
China Is still a prey to bandits

But I have as little patience with
these who want the moon as with

turn blind eye to the moral and
