DISARMAMENT OR RUIN

Papers in America and England are tardiy
awakening 10 the perfectly obvious fact that fail
uge of the armament conference to accomplish some
tangible results would mean disaster for the world
Moreover, they are realizing that it is more than
a mere discussion of arms reduction, involving. in
fact, discussion of scne of the most delicate and
dangerous International disagfeements with which
the world is infested.
1t will be- in the truest sense, an epochal event.
Not for thousand years has SO much of the
worlds destiny hinged upon the action of single
body of men. 1t is, virtually, the last call for
peace. If it breaks up without results, the nations
will be flied with incurable distrust of each other
Suspicious will be sharpened and the building OF
war engines will be stimulated
Another great war will come
Whether civilization will survive the world war
through which we have just emerged is still an
open question; but there can be no question of its
inability TO stand another like it. 1t would mean
ruin, moral and industrial, for every nation on
eartp and The complete sweeping away of all the

Ages" without stable governments, without fixed

This conference will test the power of the ma

were broken in the world war; The American
press and every humane and religious organiza-
ton in the country, ought TO exert every possible
influence upon the conference to effect an agree

employed in seeing that halfway measures. or

VETERANS OF WORLD
WAR PREFER LAND
GRANT COMPENSATION

JUNEAU, Alaska. March 16.-Yet-
erans OF the World War in Alaska
prefer a land grant compensation to
a cash bonus based on length of ser
vice. according TO the result of vote
taken in every American Legion post
in that territory.
In accordance with the decision of
its members the Legion Department of
Alaska will ask that ex-service men
and women be given grants of one
hundred and sixty acres from the un-
appropriated public lands of Alaska.
The area of Alaska is 590,Ss
square mics which is about one-sixth
Of the United States proper. Although
the desirable land Of this large ex-
panse OF territory Is small compared
10 the whole. not more than one hun
dred and fifty homesteads have been
patented up to the present. despite
the fact that settlement of the more
desirable areas is admitted TO be one
Of the essentials Of the future Of Alas
ka.
Legion officials believe that the
proposed land grants TO veterans
would result in as great benefit to
the territory as to the ex-serv:ce men
and women
