Washington Conference as an educahre staft.
The Digest conceived its idea from a suggestion
made by Governor Cox Of Massachusetts that colleges
and schools make the Conference on Limitation Of
Armament a special study. The Digest telegraphe9
all state governors asking their opinion Of such a study
conducted with the purpose of keeping the future
public opinion steadfG.t against war.
All but a few Of the governors responded prompt
ly and some related that they had already asked their
state colleges and schools to give the Conference
thorough attention while it was in session. All of the
replies were enthusiastic and favorable. hat the
opinions and the actions of the people of the future
are controlled by the training and the education which
they receive in their youth, no one will deny. The
formidable. relentless. inhuman fighting machine Of
Germany was cast in the public schools of that nation,
it was assemb ed in the universities, and put into action
in the army.
If a nation, or If nations. rather, can be bred 10
war. they can be as easily bred to peace. The present
generation wants no more war, it has seen the terror
and tie misery. the suffering, the hatred of battle and
it cries aloud and beats on the Conference door for
disarmament. but the next generation, if not taught
wisely and well. will not realize and will plunge into
all the hideousness Of warfare with hardly a thought
for the consequence.

WAITING FOR TOXIC

HE Toxic government is 10 have the last word
in the japanese decision as to the program which
that country is willing to adopt in compliance with the
proposed arms limitation.
II Is expected with confidence that I okio will give
sasfayorable decision and that Japan will take her place
Iin3ths ratio appotioned her in the plan submitted by
America at tie opening session Of the conference.
The attitude Of The Japanese delegates has not been
convincing in so far as their reluctance to accept their
national place in the arms limitation ratio is concerned.
There is a general feeling tha, Japan is holding back
in order to hold fast 10 other advantages which she
feels she might be called upon to %reEnquish.
There has been nothing disclosed as 10 what
u concessions, If any, have been made IN the conference
insofder 10 secure Japan's consent 10 naval reduction
N arms according to the original plan. though. need
ade.slto state, such steps have been taken as will assure
Japan freedom from aggression. NO doubt the re-
noyal Of Notifications on Pacific outposts would be a
decided factor in gaining the 5-5-3 ratio. II the
British, French. and japanese have reached an agree
fnent 10 withdraw from China without any strings to
lie bargaining. as is thought by many to have been
deeided, ii will go farther to prove the honesty OF
Japaneses purpose in the conference than any other.
espscially. as such a4move in the Shantuns and Man
5chuiSan districts would be in complete controverHon
20 any japanese precedent.
Naturally, nothing will be declared to the public
%until Toxic responds to the message cabIcd by the
SJapanese representatives. 1t is firmly settled however
Ein5 he minds Of those who have followed the japanese
attitude closely that Toxic will agree 10 a 7-5-3 naval
program.

G TRICKLAND Gillian visited with US yester-

Mr.. Gillian is a drummer. and his line is
sunshine, courageous optimism and common sense, tor
which The demand is ever greater Than the supply
Nevertheless there are many in this world so obsessed
with a determination 10 permeate the atmosphere with
gloom and grim forecasts that it really takes a sales
man Of The highest type to interest them IN any thing
which may lift them above the fog Of pessimism to the
heights Of real endeavor for the betterment Of mankind.
Well does the famous humorist and homely phil
osopher who was the guest Of TIE Supervisors club
last evening draw the line of distinction between the
cheerful idiot who goes about with a silly grin
declaring every thing is all right and the conscien;
tious optimist who meets every condition in a spirit OF
courageous determination to see it through to a victor,
ious conclusion.
Mr.. Gillian is famous as a humoia-but more
famous, in our humble judgment for his understand
ingncss." He speaks Of life from a knowledge Of
life: there is a punch behind his every sentence be-
cause The contact is a direct one between one human
being and another human being.
Those who were fortunate enough to hear the
distinguished visitor last night go about their work
today in a better frame Of mind, refreshed and strong
or for trials and worries of the hour and with a broad.
or. happier and saner outlook on that great thing
which looks so small in type-life. /.
The world needs more men such as Strickland
