NO SUPER-STATE RULE.

The United States is now at peace
with Germany. The president has
taken definite steps to bring the prin-
cipal nations of the earth together
for the discussion Of plans for per-
manent peace and limitation of arma-
ment, the two necessarily being close
ly related. Conferences will be held
between nations entirely free to act
stheir Judgment dictates on this
one problem, without being hamper
ed or coerced by interests involved in
treaty of peace. Mr.. Harding is
going about the task in orderly, dig
nified and logical manner, which is
best calculated to produce results of
lasting benefit to the world. There
will be no surrender of the sovereign
ty of America to a super-state, no
involvement Of America in the poll
tics of Europe, no abandment of the
Monroe doctrine. There will be no
cne-man negotiations, no setting
aside Of constitutional requirements
concerning the making of treaties. no
defiance of the viii of the people as
expressed at the polls.

CRUSHING LIVESTOCK
INDUSTRY.

Evidence accumulates before the in
terstate commerce commission to
prove that the present high railway
rates are crushing the livestock in
dustry. The railway commission in
South Dakota has just brought the
matter to the attention of the ma
ti0nal commission. Montana lately
filed a petition for a hearing on live
stock rates. Other western states are
doing the same. Everywhere in the
west the oppressive transportation
charges are injuring livestock inter-
ests, and the interstate commerce
commission should be impressed by
the fact, and by the need for lower
rates.
The Sounth Dakota commission, in
its appeal to the interstate COM
merce board, said. eve believe that
general conditions warrant reductions
in rates on commodities, the move
ment of which is being stifled by the
present abnormal rate level, or where,
as in the livestock industry, various
conditions, including transportation
charges, are crushing the life out OF
industry"
While meat consumption in the
United States per capita has faller
off decidedly in the past ten years
during which anti-meat eating cam
paigns were prosecuted by business
interests that had other food to sell
still a certain fixed and irreduciblt
quantity of meat will always be eater
in the United States by people whe1
and while it can be obtained, and con
sumers of meat will suffer along will
livestock raisers if the freight rate
so shrink the industry that mea
prices are forced upward.
i The packing houses and middlemel
keep meat prices at maximum rate
at all times, but if meat grows scare
er, the prices viii be boosted sti
higher. The commerce commission
will serve all interests by Lowering
rates on agricultural commodities
livestock, feed, hay and the like, b.
helping farming and animal husband
ry, by increasing railway bushes;
and by reducing prices of meats an
farm products to the public.-Mor

"How long will the conference last?

ion on the duration of the conference.
zone cannot say" replied Mr.. Root
But" he added with a smile, II have
engaged my apartment for three months.
I hope | shall not have to ask that the
lease be extended"
Other guesses have run all the way
from two months 10 six months. Cyni-
cal persons who anticipate chickering's
hint that perhaps the delegates Will
reach deadlock before Christmas and
adiourn witho~ accomplishing anything.
The majority view among members
of tine various delegations is that every
tody Is here for business, imbued with
the feeling that something must be done.
Their opinion comedies fairly well with
that of Mr.. Root that the work of the
conference will be cleaned up in APP
proximately three months.
If this estimate is true the peoples or
the world will receive a gorgeous vaien-
tine on February IA, 1922.

the conference on the limitation of arm

upon the United States delegates to the
conference to give heed to take such

Frof. Edward B. Reed of Yale and Miss

Dr. Hibben said that though Il limita-
tion of armaments might be most deslr-
able, no one could expect 1t 10 end war.
He discussed the causes underlying wars
and declared that excessive armaments
and the consequent onerous taxation
should be reduced Dr. Hioben, however.
like all the other speakers, expressed
the hope and the belief that some good,
definite results would come of the con-
ference.
Dr. Giddings said there was something
ironical in the talk of stopping the
building Of battleships at time when
Il looked like the battleship would BE-
come obsolete anyway.
Miss Comstock. who also is president
of the American Association of C1

lieved to voice the sentiment OF most
members of the Naval Affairs Commit
tee. He said:
1T would seem TO me to be unwlse
to stop construction in advance of
agreements. One doesn't ordinarily give
up all his cards before sitting in a ses-~
sion of this kind
1T would be impossible to suspend
construction without disorganization of
the forces engaged in the work and
without deterioration of property. We
would have to pay large clam to con-
tractors growing out OF the stoppage of
construction. Moreover. VIC never could
resume on the same basis as we
stopped. While England and Japan were
preparing feverishly we would be doing
nothing. The present building pro-
gramme was authorized in 1916 as q
war preparedness measure. 1t would not
be carried out now if we were to stop
construction for a time
"As / recall il. we are building six
battle cruisers. ten battleships and ten
scout cruisers. We have no up to date
scout cruisers and TO battle cruisers at
all while England and Japan are we'll

all construction. Construction Of battle

Long List Of Grievances.

China has a long list Of claims TO
raise at the conference. If she prefers TO
air her grievances at the same time ana
bargain with the Powers for what they
are worth. The list may well include
I Shantung controversy ?, twenty
one demands: 3. Japanese al
lance: 4. rights OF extra territoriality
r. sphere of influence 6, Tibetan issue
I. Janslng-Tshii agreement; y. super
vision of her railways; 2, open uoor
policy: 10, consortium. H.. foreign post
offices In China IL. territorial conces-
sions in China l3, enforcement OF opium
convention IA. foreign control OF GUS
toms revenue Is, salt gabelle; 16,
foreign control of wireless telegraphy
II. military control OF Corea.
To bring up in Washington so many and
so complex questions, vital as they are
to tho sovereignty OF China. would tend
TO befog the paramount issues and might
complicate the situation TO tho disadyan-
tage of the world in general. Hence the
thinking Chinese are prepared to waive
for the moment the comparatively less
important issues ard Concentrate their
attention on few OF the most important.
for instance. Shantung. the twenty-one
demands and the Anglo-Japanese al
lance
AS I propose TO deal with them sepa-
rately in subsequent articles ! shall not
dwell upon them at this juncture
Thinking Chinese believe that how
ever important may be the other issues
raised in the conference. the Shantung
controversy. the twenty-Onc demands
and the Anglo Japancse alliance must
not BE- allowed 20 escape unsettled.
