THE DETERMINATION TO SUCCEED

Every uttcrancc in public address or inter view by leaders at the Washington confer cncc indicates that the various delegations are inspired by determination to accomplish the object for which the conference was card-promotion of peace and reduction of costs of military preparedness. There k na country represented at Washington which has ~onifcd resolve to increase OF even to main tain it's armamonts as at present constituted. There s disposition among all of them to join in mutual reductions, providing they do not invite assault from their noghbors by so doing.
 Great Britain is possessed of navy far superior to any other afoat, and had if not been for the Washington conference there is no doubt she would maintain her superiority at any cost In fact four big battle cruisers and several submarines of huge type have been designed for the British navy, and con structon on many of them has already been started But the spirit manifested by British statesmen from the moment President Harding despatched his invitation for the conference leaves no room for doubt that the delegates from Great Britain are ready to make very material alterations in their defense programs. That policy has been emphasized by the dele gates themselves since their arrival in Wash ington.
 France has signifed her desire to cooperate in every way possible in bringing success to
The Cordova daily times., 1921-12-03

the meeting. Premier Briand has informed us that he will use his opportunity to advance the friendly feeling between the United States and France by cordially scconding President Harding's efforts to tighten the burdens of war. France has a problem all her own in the German menace on her northern and east ern frontiers, and can never consent to abate her vigilance and preparedness in that quar- ter, but she will agree to any proposal for armament limitation consistent with her own safety.
 Japan has displayed spirit of compromise in all that her delegates have said. Appar- cntIy there is no disposition to insist on every detail of Japanese diplomacy in the Far East, nor upon every item of increase in the Japa- nese navy. The attitude of the Japanese cor responds with that of the other delegations at Washington. They will be found willing to make concessions like the rest and con tribute their share to the successful outcome of the conference.
 Italy has a defense problem on her frontier similar to that of France, although not so pronounced. But her delegates approach the discuS~ions in spirit that prccudrs any thou@ht of opposition from that quarter The Italian people, like those of other nations. are IilOIIII- Nlt'I t ~I INI'iNl''IiH hII'l'I 'l .'''I dobt and are mayn@ for the relief that th' Wa~'u@ton conference promises. Thu t" oG the statements issued hy rhr Italian d"..n~ assures tho world that they will work ..,h
 the rest in achieving thc object of t.. ou ference.
 The United States drIogntion has davn mp schedule of naval reduction that is -1rt
 ling in its extent America stand, ready to cut her naval program with those of the other nations, and the reductions that she has out lined are an invitation to the foreign delegates to join with her in a general advance toward world peace Belgium, Holland, Portugal and China have no such direct interest in naval matters as the five great powers, but they can and will assist materially in alayng the controversies over Far Eastern questions, and will thus contribute their share toward the suppression of war. America cordially rocip rocatcs the good feeling manifested by all the distinguished visitors to her shores, firm in the belief that it prcsagcs highly successful achievements for the amamcntS conference.

RUN IN HARNESS

The welfare of the local publisher and the welfare of the local merchant are m~nparabIy linked. That 2ou~ without saying. In some towns merchants are not alive to the wisdom of working in harness with the local publisher. When he approaches them for advertising they feel he is asking d favor instead of pre- Senting them business proposition. As d salesman of advertising the publisher is view ed in a light entirely different to that in which the shoe or the dress goods salesman is re cevcd. On the other hand there are pub fishers who are quite indifferent to the pros perity of their tradcsmen They don't see that if the tradcsmen fail, the newspaper is bound to fail that the life of the newspaper is advertising, that without advertising the newspaper could not exist.
 The publisher who fails to do all he can consistently to make trade for his local mcr- chants is directly indifferent to his own pros pcrity, and the merchant who fails to do his utmost to make his local paper powerful and prosperous is indifferent to his greatest means of selling
 There are many ways in which merchants can help publishers aside from placing adv"r tising with them. Often they can nfUcncc national advertisers to use the local paper by the simple writing of letter when all the argument from the publisher falls on deaf ears. The merchant is carrying nationally advertised line. His sales are not of the best If they are good they could be better A letter from him to the sales manager of the national advertiser, even though the goods have been bought through iobbcr, is likely to receive consideration. If the merchant explains he could probably increase his sales by an advertising campaign in his local news paper and can bring about such a campaign, then everyone concerned is aided Local sell ing is not stimulated by advertising in ma tional wceklics and magazines.

THE PRIDE OF ALABAM

Birmingham, Alabama, whose tittlcth birth day was marked by President Iarding'~ ad- dress on the race problem, lays claim to being the largest city of its age in the United States II is the center of large and grow ing steel industry, and k illustrative of th" change wrought in the Southern Statc~ as industries have taken hold of that section of the country. The North can look with satisfaction upon the transformation. It is the dream of every good American citizen that all sections of the country should be brought together into one harmonious nation, and that jealousy between groups of States should be a thing of the past. Nothing can contribute more to that community of inter rss than similarity of work in all the States Of course the natural resources of each State determine to a great extent what its products shall be, but there are manufac turing industries that can be developed to advantage in every State, and there are farm ing possibilities in every State, the two to- gcthcr including most of our activities. With each State dcvoting itself to a combination of farming and manufacturing, there would be an end to sectional antagonisms and the ob iectionabIe ''blocs" in Congress that now seek to control special legislation for special interests. Legislators from all parts of th" country would strive for protective tariff laws, for proper encouragement of agriculture and manufacturing. and for internal tax laws that distribute the burden equally among all of our wealth producing agencies.

AN IMPIOUS UTTERANCE

It would be an offence to decency to print the words of the following extract if these words were not uttered by the responsible spokesman of very important labor union and if their presentation did not betray very significantly the attitude and mental and mor Ial temper of the more radical and reckless wing of the labor agtators:
 "The laboring man of the United States can be the Father, Son and Holy Ghost of every damn thing ill this country if he wants to- Organized, he can do everything he wants to. !"
 These words were spoken, according to re- ports in the New York press, in an address by G. II. Phantom, vice president of the United Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employ ecs and Shop Foremen, before a meeting of the district council of the union named in New York. The matter under discussion was a resolution insisting the eight hour day for tbe members of the brotherhood. And Mr. Phantom, after uttcrng this significant bias phemy, went on to say that he did not care what the decision of the federal labor board, not vet render q, might be, but he proposed that the ehmpIOyees concerned should work just eight hours and no more anyway We read that his remarks "evoked great ap- pIause." The speaker revealed still another phase of his mind by attacking President Harding for suggesting the necessity of a re- duction of wages, just before his "addrcss to a lot of dead soldiers of Hoboken," in which he said that the American laborcr ought to get living wage and be able to save money.
 It is possible that the quoted words of the vice president of a railway brotherhood may become as famous, or as infamous, as the re mark made long ago by the president of the Reading RaiIroad q. F. Bacr, about the ''tcm men to whom God in His infinite wisdom" had contided the control of the railroad interest of this country. There is an impious and Bol- shevistic twang about Mr. PIanton's uttcrancc which can hardly fail to attract the attcn- tion, and arouse the indignation, of the people, who still believe that even the "brothcr- hoods" should deal honestly and squarcIy with their ncighbors, and respect not only the laws but the faith of their countrymcn-Bo -Bos- ton Transcript,

It is a sensible effort to carry out the wishes of the American people.
 The effort by these correspondents and news syndicates of the ultra-moden "non- partisan school to throw the mantle of Woodrow Will son around President Harding are ingenious but not convincing.

countries, the president might sus
pend the building program in whole
