Berlin, Nov. 5.-President Hard
ing's plan for world peace has won
its first victory
Disappointed at Paris, the peo-
pie asked whether Mr.. Harding's
hope of solving the Pacific prob
lem by protecting China against
her monopolistic neighbor and by
emphasizing the moral and eco
nomic advantage to the world In
reducing land and sea armament
would result merely in amiable
| words. How could 1t be other
wise when Russia no longer exists
in the balance Of power? Even
the greatest of optimists would
have prophesied an agreement like
this:
England would swear that she
had only the most peaceful inten-
tions. Japan would prove that
she was being impoverished and
would not think of war, while
France, tsrough the eloquence of
the Brands and Vivianis, would
swear that she did not wish TO
keep a single cannon or single man
more than necessary on account
of the proximity of sixty million
embittered Germans. After the
festive speeches and the protocols |
the old game of intrigue between
the chief powers would continue. |

caused by the necessarily cheap !
mass production. This will drive /
nations to the old outrageous GUS
tom of seizing markets forcibly. |
This threatens new wars which the
mobiles cannot prevent.
Undertakes to Pay Debts.
Russia undertakes TO pay the
state debts of the car. Russia
begs for peace. She asks for rec
ognition. Her form of government
now is a sad one. In her distress,
Russia calls for an international
conference, that Foreign Minister
Tchitcherin chooses this moment
to utter such cry shows his de.
sire to be heard by those now
gathering at Washington.
Russia, which has survived tar
tar rule and the bloody indolent
czars, will not die of bolshevk
blunders. If only Indifferent help
and charity Of commercial credit
is afforded. centuries will pass be-
fore Russia is capable Of doing her
bit for humanity.
The proposal which the writer
outlined during the summer is now
possible of realization. 1t Is this:
Mobilization of the international
army of labor to reconstruct Rus
sia. ten to twenty producing ma
tions, whose sons were not intim-
idated by mines or poison gas,
could easily accomplish as much
as the armies did in constant peril
of death. Necessary railways could
be built quickly and new Industries
created and whole towns rebuilt.
No Counter Revolt.
II Russia is left free to make 4
choice of government and to han
die international relations, there
is no need to fear that the labor
army would favor openly or secret
ly a counter revolution. II
Except for the labor of her
peace army, Russia must pay ev-
erything if red corpuscles are
again to flow in her veins. All
the former belligerent states could
send contingents. All this would
create remunerative work for the
For officers and
technical experts could quickly un-
load the surplus of raw stuffs and
create new markets without which |
Asia and Europe cannot |
prosper. II
Marshal Foch and Herbert
Hoover now can discuss, face to |
face. how the general staff of this
unarmed army could be organized.
