The Armament Conference

The morality note ringing clear
and the old fashioned theory Of
right and wrong freely invoked,
are for the most part the keynote
OF the conference on Limitation OF
armaments that began in Wash
ington on Armistlce Day, where
the deep sincerity of the whole
worlds attitude towards Ameri-
cas- proposal, marks a wide differ
Gn0e-in the change of view since
the League of Nations met in
Paris.
The golden rule which is the
basis of Democratic philosophy
never had a more obvious applica-
tion in any other world gathering
before and America having en-
tered the war for the purpose Of
making the world safe for dep~
rscy, it is but mete an &c
that Democracy sh~ - proper
