the creation of armies. Great Briuiin
and Japan should be summoned to the
council table.
The time has come when the three
great naval Powers-Great Rr1tain'
Japan and America--should sit down
and talk over an agreement. Great
Britain is ready and Japan will re-
spond. There is no doubt of Ameri-
ca s readiness. The world is anxious
that such a conference be called ana
such a move he made. In all of earth $
free nations there is a great body OF
sentiment that would welcome such
action on the part of the three great
sea Powers.
We are drifting now. We will con-
tinue to drift unless some outstanding
figure compels the attention of the ma
tons. We are drifting through zap
and Mesopotamia incidents, through
recurrent Magdalena Bay and Turtle
Bay rumors, through jealousies and
prejudices and the STRINGS of racial
hatreds.
Steadily the unchecked currents car
ry us toward MISUNDERSTANDING and
trouble that may flare redly at any
time. We drift on toward greater ma
vies, greater burdens on already tax
burdened peoples, as the race for arm
aments gathers speed and determi-
nation.
+ We all are drifting as the world
drifted before 1914. Great Britain
builds super-Hoods and seaplanes:

America is trying to appropriate $40,-
100000 for the worlds supremacy.

Super-guns are being evolved Air-
planes are - carry the Breath of
Death" over battlefields of the next
war. The same old secret, watchful,
deadly moves are going on just az
they did in the generation before 1914
The thunder-heads of the next storm
are blue on the horizons.
We have been told over and over
again that the next war means the
Death of Civilization. Yet we go on
terminating the seeds of death, and
no Government raises hand to check
or stay u.s.
President Harding is one of the
worlds commanding figures. If he
will call Japan and Great Britain they
will respond. 1t is his duty and il
should be his high privilege to sum
mon the men of Japan and of Britain
to grave council.
The call will be needed Should
governments hesitate, the force OF
public opinion will drive them to the
council table. Without faltering OF
delay. President Harding should cal
conference on ornaments.

Editorial Comment
Our Hot Water Admiral
(Springfield Union)

ItSE1I IIIOII
II Admiral Sims finds himself in
hot water as result of his latest ut
terances against the Sim Fem, he
will not be in an unfamiliar element.
In fact, since the close of naval OPP
erations in the World War he has
navigatcd hot water more frequently
than cold water, and has seemed to
enjoy it. 1t would, perhaps. be better
policy for him to confine himself to
naval topics and have less to say on
questions of domestic or international
politics. but he evidently is a lover of
excitement. and with Josephus Dan
iels off is hands, there seems to be
no other way to find it.
