The March
OF EUents
THE Limitation of Armament
Conference will not result in

look at Idcle as tHey are.
Unless England, France and japan
all agree to cut down their arma-
ments the United States cannot
possibly cease naval construction.
England will not agree to reduce her
naval strength which she intends to
keep supreme at sea. France will
not agree to reduce her military
strength, which she intends to keep
supreme on land. Japan will not
agree to reduce either her naval or
military ornaments, which she is
increasing with feverish haste.
All three of these Powers thrive
upon military and naval control of
other nations in Asia, Africa and
Europe. Not one of them could hold
down its subjugated peoples and
territories by anything else than
naval and military force.
Mr.. Wilson's childish belief that
these Powers meant anything when
they talked about the rights of weak
peoples and government by the con-
sent of the governed was merry
joke in Toxic, Paris and London all
the time that they we're bamboozling
poor Mr.. Wilson. They will doubt
less try to bamboozle Mr.. Harding
with the same trick of hollow words.
But we think they will fail. Then
they will go home and begin again
to increase their ornaments.
The only important thing which
the conference can accomplish, and
may possibly accomplish, is a tenn
porary settlement of the status in
the Pacific.
The British government has al
ready decided to put her great fleet
permanently upon the Pacific Ocean.
This will make England the arbiter
of the Pacific Ocean, and force both
America and Japan to court British
alliance, in case of any serious dis
pute arising between our country
and Japan.
It was by exactly similar strategy
and tactics that England succeeded
in dominating the Mediterranean
and the Atlantic for more than a
century past-and also succeeded in
destroying, one after another, the
naval and mercantile marine compe
tition of Spain, Holland, France,
Denmark and Germany-each COM
petitor of Great Britain defeated or
disarmed in turn.
Our only possible safeguard
against being the next in this list
is to use our vast resources to main
tain a navy so powerful that no
Power will be willing to attack us.
Government operation of rail
roads during the war was purposely
made as costly as railroad executives
could make it. The object was to
make Government operation unpopu
lar for all time.
The public very largely fell vic
tins to this trick. But the railroad
workers did not.
Fundamentally the men, if they
strike, will strike against private
ownership and to bring about public
ownership. This, and not the matter
of wages, is the true cause of the
impending battle.
The French are urging the aboli-
ton of passports. That is one of the
few sensible things which have been
proposed since the war drove nine
tenths of the people crazy.

Facts in the
Rail Crisis
rHE railroad labor leaders have
~ .-.-.a..oI ot~.lo Co.. 0c-

July l, but because OF the general
tendency of railroad executives to
make still further reductions in pay,
to make arbitrary changes in work
ing conditions, to restore the piece
system of work in all railroad shops,
and to adopt other measures tend
ing to destroy the railroad unions.
To enable them to resist this ten
dency the union leaders recently
asked authority of the workers to
order strike if, in the judgment OF
the leaders, one was necessary to
stop further reductions in wages.
The railroad executives at this
juncture gave public notice of their
intention to follow the first wage
reduction promptly. with another.
The railroads could not lawfully
make any such further reduction
without first obtaining the official
sanction of the Government Labor
Board after hearing both sides.
But the labor leaders had no as
surance that the railroad executives
would not take the law into their
own hands and go ahead with their
reductions of wages without the
consent of the Government, because
several railroads, including the great
Pennsylvania system, had already
defied the Labor Board.
1t is to be noted that, while the
executives of these railroads have
defed the Government, as repre-
sented by the Labor Board, the labor
leaders have not yet done so.
The railroad labor leaders proba-
bly, had no intention. of using the
authority conferred upon them by
80 per cent of their fellows to order
a strike on account of wage reduc-
tions already in effect. In the face
of threats of additional reductions
by railroad executives, with or with
out the consent of the Railroad
Board, the labor leaders felt that
they must take some decisive action.
If they did not fight their unions
would be destroyed. Disintegration
of the unions would be certain.
If they do strike they admit their
unions may still be destroyed,
through defeat. But in the event
of strike compromise is also
possible.
So the labor leaders intend to
strike, as the matter stands, and
will do all in their power to make
the strike effective.
There are also some reasons for
believing that the railroad execu-
tives (some of whom are marvellous
ly able and efficient as railroad
operators, but nearly all of whom
are unskillful, or wilful, in dealing
with the public) intend to do moth
ing to avert the strike, but upon
the whole welcome it as the only
way of settling decisively a bad
situation.
Iue TdllTOdu eAeCuJlNeS, Will a
few noble exceptions, have never
been in the habit of obeying the
law, or considering the interests of
others.
If the Railroad Labor Board fails
to find a way this week to prevent
the great strike, without destroying
the labor unions and without sur
rendering to them, without giving
railroad executives their unfettered
way either, then President Harding
will probably have to exercise his
great authority in the public interest
to stop the war, until Congress can
amend the experimental Esch-Cum-
minis Railroad Act, and provide
less divided authority over railroad
rates and railroad wages and work
ing conditions. Every one having

 FRENCH ARMS POLICY
Frances Premier Will Show Army Smaller Now Than Before War-Admiral de Bon Will Review His
 Country $ Naval Strength.

Paris. Nov. 3.-When the question of territorial disarmament comes up for discussion at Washington Pre- mier Briand will be ready to face critics of his policy and of his coun- try's "militaristic" activities. He will show that France, despite the ever dangerous menace which shadows her Eastern frontier ard despite the unra atification of Alliances which should have guaranteed her safety, to- day has an army even smaller than before the war.
 Marshal F1och and General Buat will be at Washington to corroborate the Premier's statement, for they. with the French General Staff. violently protested against any reduction of the French army until such time as it was felt sure that no danger could come From Germany and that the latter had completely disarnned and taken on a peace-like attitude.

Washington, Nov - The chief rTSouble with the national purse has been that it has had too many strings.
 Until the budget system was evolv- ed those strings either dangled loose Sy while the taxpayers money was split in many directions or were ioos- ened by those who, at the capitol particularly, had an eye on the local pork barrel.''
 The efforts of President Harding and Budget Director Dawes to tighten the strings are being aDIy seconded by Representative Martin B. Madden, of Chicago. the new chairman of the House Appropriations committee.
 Little is heard of what Madden is doing to effect real economies in the making of Congressional appropria- tiops. He has permitted Dawes to crowd him out of the spotlight But that is the Madden way. He works better without band music His mod esty is attested by the fact that his is the shortest sketch in the Con nded DlreefGey era fine l9ng ruie and not the exception.
 Rere is all that the Congressional Directory says of Madden
 Martin B. Madden, Republican, of Chicago, was elected to the Fifty ninth and each succeeding Congress"
 The brevity of that is typical of the an who is recognized ass one of the ablest and most potential leaders of
 
 l ments caused him to be selected to preside over it's all-important Appro- priations committee. [. Madden Working Hard.
 Madden has just effected not only complete reorganization of the com ! mitee, but, what is of more import ! ance, of the system of turning out appropriations from the committee ! hopper Upon the House devolves the constitutional Drerogative of or iginating fiscal legislation, and upon Madden and his committee rests the i difficult and complex task of drafting g 1 each fiscal year.
 In his efforts to effect real reforms and economies Madden has an eff ] cdent and experienced assistant in Marcellus c. Sheild, who has been : chief clerk of the committee for a number of years and under a sue cession of committee chairmen. Mad den frankly admits that Sheild knows more about appropriations than any member of the House or even Di- | rector Dawes can ever hope to know. Madden has just reorganized his committee to enable it to consider the first budget which President Harding will submit to Congress under the new Budget act at the opening of the regular session in December : Submit Two Budgets.
 The act provides for the submis- sion of two budgets@1ne to follow the outline of the old book of estimates

and the old appropriations bills and the other (the alternative budge) to be made up according to such ar engagement as the Budget Director, shall prescribe.
 The House Appropriations commit tee heretofore has been subdivided into IS committees one for each of cthe 12 regular annual appropriations bills and one for all the deficiency appropriations bills.
 These bills with few exceptions, were not constructed upon any we'll defined, logical lines. Most govern ment departments and bureaus got part of their appropriations in one bin and part in another. It was inn possible to ascertain the total appro- priations for the departments or bu-' reaus without consulting two or more of the bills. The War Department furnished an apt illustration of this unbusinesslike distribution of pubic carried in the Army. Fortificat atfons and Sundry Civil bills, and civil ac- | tivitieS over which the War Depart ment has jurisdiction were found scattered through the Legislative, Executive, and Judicial. Rivers and Harbors and sundry Civil bills. Bills Unbusinesslil<e. 1 Appropriations bills were. in the main, so lacking in business system | as to be often confusing to Congress | ana the departments dil1 e' | themselves, and utterly incomprehen- | sible to the public. i Madden and Dawes are in accord | On the submission of the alternative | estimates and the consideration of l the appropriations bills which are to | be based upon those estimates. The | new system will place all appropria- | tions for a given department or bu- | reau in the one and same bill and en- | able anyone to ascertain readily the amount proposed to be appropriated without having to consult several sep | arate bills.
 This will render possible a busi- l uess-1ike consideration of the needs l of each departmen or bureau by hav- | ing them grouped together in a re-
 lated manner. It will also practically | wipe out all of the old appropria- | tions bills and establish in their stead

 As regards Frances naval forces it
 will be easy for A dmiral de Bon, com
 mander of the French fleet during the war, to show that no country need
 ever fear his country's naval power Not only is the fleet at present one of the least powerful in the world, but construction of new ships has been completely aband doned for the time being, and the only serviceable ships France has, apart from one or two | dreadnoughts and cruisers of the war, are German ships handed over ac- cording to the Versailles treaty.
