THE NEW AMERICAN SYSTEM

A correspondent of the Public
Ledger, Mr.. Edward Berwick, draws
a comparison between present con-
ditions and those existing when dis
armament was put into effect along
the Canadian border, and concludes
the same policy is now applicable to
the worlds affairs.
There are good reasons to question
the application of such a policy to all
countries; to those that know enough
to shun war, and those that don't;
those wise enough to exercise self
restraint and those so foolish as yet
to hope great things from warlike
conquest.
Nevertheless, what he has to say
of the American spirit in 1918 has
bearing on what is being done in
1921:
after the war of 1872 4, followed
by the Treaty of Client, British news-
papers announced their Governments
intention to increase their navy-the
course clamored for by certain jour
nalists today. Monroe deplored and
deprecated such mischievous action.
He proposed a new American system
disarmament.
Britain demurred, until Adams, our
minister, deemed the case hopeless.
Monroe, however, insisted and per-
sisted so effectually that finally Rich
ard Rush, Philadelphia, represent
ing this country. and Mr.. Bagot for
Great Britain. agreed not only to de-
sist from putting any more war ships
on the Great Lakes, but TO dismantle
any already there, and to convert any
in course of building to other uses. BY
a further ''tacit understanding" no
additional forts or garrisons were in
future to be placed on the 3o00-mile
border line stretching westward
the Pacific.
Europe's system has resulted In
overwhelming disaster; let the Amer
lean system now hold sway"

Suicide is on the increase, so are
divorces, illegitimacy and homicide,
while marriage and birth rates de-
crease according to statistics COM
mented upon by DR.. A. Warren
Stearns in the current number of
Mental Hygiene. To one inclined to
the pessimistic viewpoint these facts
would seem to indicate such proof
that the morals Of the present gen.

ward path: that there is scarcely any
health in US.
The doctor himself states that all
these changes represent certain re-
taxation in social discipline manifest
in all the tendencies of the day.
We hear so much on all sides, in
lectures and speeches; we read so
much in every form Of literature
published about the delinquencies of
the present generation that soon we
may begin to believe that we really
are as bad as we're painted. But a
careful student of the history and lit
erature of former times, reading

clude that we are morally no worse

Because we are fundamentally no
worse doesn't indicate that there is

WORK FOR THE REGULAR
SESSION

Congress shouldn't be looking for
ward to a period of idleness on re-
turning to the regular session, De-
cember 5, as there will be plenty to
do, IN land and waiting. Among the
measures going over to this session
are the railroad refunding, the for
eisn debt refunding and of course the
tariff is an ever present source of
controversy and doubtless will be for
several months. In the matter OF
American valuations, a method to
which the committee tenaciously
clings, considerable investigation will
be required arriving at a basis; also
there are bearings to be held and all
the while business is approaching a
normal condition such as will per-
nit a more scientific. tariff measure
to be framed. so the need of immedi-
ate action is not urgent.
While there is excuse for the tariff
being delayed the same does not APP
pear to be true in regard to the dis
position of the railroad and foreign
debt bills. 1t is quite general
opinion that Congress should at least
have disposed Of the former at this
session. There is great need on the
part of the roads for an early settle
ment of this matter and their reha-
Utilization is likewise a subject of
serious concern to the public. 1t is
to be hoped Congress on its return
will see its way clear to prompt
action.
Questions involved in the foreign
debt may not be so readily answered,
but there, too, is need of immediate
action. The sooner interest pay
ments begin on these debts the bet
ter for us, and probably for the deb
tors; but this may not be until the
refunding arrangement Is made. So
here's hoping Congress has a busy
session.
