The Harvest
(From the New York Tribune).

Despite the vast volume OF print
ed matter published there does not
yet seem adequate appreciation,
even in America, of what has been
accomplished at Washington since
November 70. We are too near a
big thing to see II in its true grand
eur. What do we have--what great
Christmas present to mankind Is
receiving its finishing TOUGHEST
First we have the fact that for
the drst time in human history
there is a concerted abatement Of
armament. Weaponing Is an age
I old practice. IL always has been on
an ascending scale, never on de-
scending one. There is brought
from the skies a dream which the
skepucs Of all times have always
held, as long as nations endured
could not be realized. With the
principle OF concert recognized.
then under the law OF growth, there
can be further developments OF It
until perhaps. all nations will deem
it safe to go unarmed.
Second, by the application OF the
simple principle that in the Far
East equal participation in a COM
mon estate is OF more value than
any possible gains from separate
possession OF particular privileges.
what is called the Pacific problem
is on the verge OF solution. We may
be sure that the delegates Of the
various nations would not deem Il
worth while to ask their respective
Governments for authority TO sigy
/ specified agreements unless private
assurances had been received that
they were acceptable. Again the
law OF growth IS given a chance te
function. II future disharmonies
arise they viii bring other confer
| ences-not only to consider the

question OF one ocean, but OF all.
But with two things done there
remains another thing TO be done.
The nations which are parties to
the Washington concord will have
need to consult together concern
Ing interpretations and possible
amendments and notifications. The
natural method will be by the hold
ing Of future conferences. President
Harding, with his direct and simple
mind, sees that future conferences
are the corollary Of the present one,
and hence his suggestion to ad-
iourn not indefinitely. but perhaps
to a specified date. And lol an
association OF nations will be in
being. one OF Mr.. Wilson'S great
mistakes was that ne was a poor
psychologist. He did not under
stand men. He tried to systematize
and institutionalize a spirit not yet
mature enough to be given written
form. He wanted a document when
the first need was a spirit
Under the consummate leader
ship OF President Harding ana Sec
retary Hughes the. great work has
been done easily. This shows that
world opinion was ready for the
forward step. Those who have
sought to spread belief that the
war-winning nations were false to
the great cause in whose name they
fought the war are very narrow. It
has not been true that the nations
made world trustees By events
have pursued imperlalistic and sell
FISH ends as their main policy. 1t is
time TO put this SANDER in tho
grave where It belongs. The Wash l.
ington conference will wear a shin.

plain TO all that this malignant
