forces sea insisted that an adequate
navy on, over and under the ocean
IS essential to something or other,
although from his talk it is somewhat
difficult to decipher just what that
olm1ethlng l1 or other really is. He
probably had in mind the fortunes OF
our armament-ma kers and to our
doilar-dipl plomats in this connection.
AT any rate, navy Of persuasive
size is essential to safeguard the
foreign investments Of our pilfering
patriots.
{ The lesson Of the ballots at the.
November election does not seem to
have been sufficiently emphatic to
persuade the present administration
that the people Of the United States
desire a peace that is peace; not the
make-shift which the League Of
Nations "a; would bring about. We shall
now wait patiently and give the. in
coming Republican administration an
opportunity to right the wrongs COM
mltted by its predecessor, especially
insofar as Soviet Russia is concerned.
Failing to act as promptly as possible
IN this premise, would indicate that a
referendum is necessary to convince:
the Harding government that we want
!. industrial, as well as political peace
with Russia.
Next week Friday Warren G.. Hard
ing will be handed beautiful large,
ripe lemon by one Woodrow Wilson.
This specimen of citrous fruit is, in
fact, the most gigantic and withal the
sourest of its kind ever produced in the
United States. AS to size, it would
cause the boosters Of California to
spend million dollars or more in ad-
vertising, were it grown in that sunny
cline; but as to flavor, the Western
fruit growers would not give a tinker's
dam for a whole trainload. We, for
one, are supremely elated over the
fact that the duty OF accepting this
large, but sour, lemon does not devolve.
upon us!

rench Imperialism European Ra1iaa

Z
Men who differ about almost
everything else agree that restoration
OF prosperity in Europe, is dependent
upon the restoration of industry in
Central Europe, particularly Germany
and Austria says The World To-
nnorrosu for February Most of them
agree further that it is absurd to look
for any such restoration of industry
so long as the German indemnity is
unfixed and the militant French party,
whose spokesmen are General Foch
and ex-President Poincare, threaten.
further dismemberment Of Germany
and the invasion Of the Ruhr Valley
and oppose a union of Austria with
Germany. One cabinet has already
fallen because it was considered too
lenient to Germany. Just now that
shrewd politician, M. BRAND, has
formed Cabinet which. has already
received one vote of confidence. His
announcement of policy is. somewhat
obscure but comparatively pacific. He
opposes fixing the German Indemnity,
but he has at last come to the point of
saying definitely that France will not
intervene in Soviet Russia, though it
will protect Russia's neighbors from
attack"

Disarmament and Tarat1on.

The disarmament agitation is bear
ing surprising results, AS we write,
/ it is certain that by Congressional
action the army will be limited to
175,000 men and perhaps to $50, 1000.
The Senate Committee on Foreign
Relations has reported favorably the
Borah resolution looking for a con-
ference between Great Britain, the
United States and Japan on re-
duction of the naval program for a
period Of five years. The specific
suggestion of so per cent reduction
has been omitted, so that the proposal
is one of the "as-far-as-may-be-practic-
able" sort. The Senate did wisely to re-
fuse to complicate theissue by adopt
ing any amendment looking toward
the inclusion of any other powers.
AS Mr.. Henry White points out,
general disarmament conference ought
to include not only Great Britain,
Japan and the United States, but
France and Italy, However, in the
matter of naval rivalry the three
powers are enough. They ought to
act quickly. Senator Borah is entirely
right in his vigorous reply to Mr..
Roots suggestion of delay.
The driving power behind disar-
mament is still the question of it's high
cost. Some effective graphic repre-
sentations of our expenditures on milit-
arism are now in circulation. Accord
ing to report of DR.. Roas of the
United States Bureau of Standards for
the year ending June 80, 1920, our
expenditures were divided as follows:
Public welfare, including agriculture,
development of natural resources, edu-
cation, public health and labor, / per
cent; public works, 8 per cent; ad-
ministration of the government, 32
per cent; war and military establish :
ment, 92.8 per cent, which is divided
as follows: Past wars, 678 per cent;
present armament, rs per cent
The taxes in this same year. verage
about fifty dollars person, of which
fifty cents was spent for research,
education and development The
World Tomorroao for February.
So Eugene Debs, like the majority
| of his cbuntrymen, refuses to pardon
Woodrow Wilson. While it is true
that the President has not appealed
to Gene for a release from that dark
prison where his soul lies chained;
still who, regarding the two men, can
doubt which is the prisoner and which
the free man; which the guilty and
which the innocent? The stone walls
and iron bars. of the Federal prison at
Atlanta, Georgia, make a hermitage
for the innocent and quiet mind Of
Gene Debs. The man in the White
House knows in his souls anguish that
it IS not in his power to pardon his
| political prisoner, for Debs, in his soul,
is free, his voice leaps above the high
walls and is heard by hundreds Of
thousands of liberty-loving people.
His name will remain honored forever.
On the other hand, Woodrow Wilson
is marked for life. He will be con-
stantly bounded in waking hours and
in sleepy by the terrible spectre of the
sins of his administration and he will
know no rest. Were we to choose
between Wilson and Debs, we would
say: "Let my soul enjoy tranquility
and peace, though my body be in
carcerated in the vilest dungeon"

j. j. Morrison, secretary of the
United Farmers of Ontario, Canada,
makes an interesting comparison be-
tween bees, and voters, which is very
aptly applicable to conditions in
Minnesota preceding the last primary
and general elections. Secretary
Morrison, in speaking of honey-makers
on his fathers farm, said: when the
bees swarmed and filled the air with.
their droning sounds, the whole family
went out with dish pans and other tin
dishes, pounded them and shouted to
make the bees think that it was
thunder and it was going to rain. They
would then all cluster on branch and
we would saw off the branch, carry it
to the hive and push the bees into the
hive. Inside we had prepared a foun-
dation, frames and other things to
induce them to settle down and 20 to
work. The first we knew the bees
were busily engaged in making honey.
Then in the fall we took it all from
them except enough to keep them
alive He likens the bees to those
tarmer-labor voters who, hearing the
sound OF thunder produced by the tin
pans OF the steel trust, the lumber
trust and other vested interests of the
state, clustered to branch and were
easily carried to the hive by the chore-
boys OF the plunderbund, there to cast
their votes and to continue producing
honey for their masters, being allowed
to retain barely enough to keep them
and their families from starving. In
deed, very apt comparison.

Leaders to- night expressed the opinion that the de- bate would not be protracted after the hour rule goes into ecect The agree ment also provides that senators shall be limited to ten minutes for consideration Of reservations.
 The voting agreement was held. up temporarily and almost rejected today by managers of the anti-beer bill who, fear ing this measure might be sidetracked, forced Senator Lodge to delay presenting the agreement.
 Speaking later for the prohibition group, however, Senator Sterling said his fears for the anti-beer measure had proven unfounded

 The conference is expected to be un- precedented in the history Of Grezs Britain. One result Of it will be thf cancellation of all hopes Of 9Ir. LloyC George attending the Washington arm ament conference. because the country will look to his diplomacy to steer tho empire drought the watrs Of 10 com Notwithstanding. The belief was ez- pressed in high quarters tonight that H Mir.

ing September nj the view of the federal reserve board, which mad public tonight distinctly optimistic review of condi- tions for the month. Important, changes for the better were seen in the credit sit uation, distinct encouragement in many basic business lines and strong liquida- ton indicating increased ability of busi- ness to settle it's accounts.
 The wholesome improvement" which the boards corresbondents found in al- most every section, appeared to have been based largely on the advance in cotton prices. As q result of the higher cotton values liquidation has taken place and wholesale and retail trade has been buoy ed up, the reports said.
 Marked improvement in the credit sit nation was cited by the review as the noteworthy feature of the month.
 The board noted only a slight increase in employment, but added that while the end of the harvesting and crop movement season might tend to increase the num- ber of unemployed. this was likely to be offset by growth in demand for labor on the part of the manufacturing in dustres.
 Railroads have begun to increase their number of their employees to some extent, especially in the far vest" the review continued, and the fact that building contracts have reached a record figure for this year promises partial employment in that service during the autumn"
 Textile manufacturing has been well sustained during the month the boards agents said, adding that the boot and shoe industry had been notably active
 Some hesitancy still was noted on the part of the distributors to place large orders, but to offset, this large seasonal increases in certain lines of wholesale trades were reported.
 Improvement also was seen in the amount of cargo offered for shipment to foreign ports. The available tonnage was said to remain, however, greatly in excess Of requirement..
